Hi everyone, I used to follow this thread but I have had a rather transient lifestyle for the first half of the year so I have been unable to keep it up. I am now trying to keep up a blog diet to keep myself focused. Good luck to you all, I hope you succeed to the end of the year! x

Hi, Thank you for your support. I have had 5 good days and lost 6 of the gained lbs so yes I will try to work out the numbers and post again.

Hi, I'm pleased to see this topic is still going. I have been away on an extended holiday and have over indulged enough to have put on a stone in 10 weeks - a warning to all!! I am trying to get back on track but don't think I will continue on here for this year - maybe 2015. Meanwhile keep...

17:15 = 32 I am on a long holiday from tomorrow. I will try to keep a tally and daily goal to stick to, I'm not sure how well I'll do. I'll update every so often as able.

16 : 13 = 29

14 : 13 = 27

11: 11 = 22

8 : 10 = 18

7 : 10= 17

6 : 8 = 14, doing better x

5:8=13

4 : 7 = 11. Not so good today :(

4 : 6 = 10

Sorry about the loss of your friend Jess look after yourself however you need to x 2 : 6 = 8

1 : 6 = 7 At last 1 positive day!

0:6 Still getting back to normal, hope to behave tomorrow x

Thanks Emsie, I'm away a lot of this year but I'll keep a record and try to come out at least 50:50 over the year. Not doing well at the moment. 0 : 2

Thanks Emsie, I'm still not back to completely sensible eating but I will be. 0 : 1 = 1 tee hee! seems strange to have such low numbers again.

Well that's the end of 2013, I finished badly and have a few pounds to lose but they well come off. Here's to 2014, 213 : 152 = 365 not bad considering!! Wishing you all a Happy Healthy Successful 2014 xx

212 : 144 = 356 I don't think I'll manage many more good days this year but I should come out with more good than bad. This has helped keep me stable rather than lose much weight. However, I have kept the weight off so I am no longer living up to my name- yippee!!

210 : 141 = 351

209 : 141 = 350

Yes the year goes faster and faster near the end. Do carry it on next year, I will come and go again as I am away abroad for about 10 weeks from February until April. Doing ok at the moment. 204 : 140 = 344

I think I'm being a bit kind to myself but I do know when I really go off track. 202 : 140 = 342

200 : 140 = 340

I have had visitors to stay, will weigh tomorrow - fingers crossed I haven't done too much damage! x 198 : 137 = 137.

Well done EMSIE, excellent!! I've done ok this week but maintaining rather than losing which is ok for me. 195 : 135 = 330

Exercise - Mainly walking but I am trying line dancing too! 190 : 134 = 324 Everyone can use this 'thread' in whatever works for them x.

188 : 134 = 322. This exercise has been harder than I expected but I still think I would have been worse without the focus.

185 : 132 = 317, very up and down, I thought I would be better than this.

181 130= 310 on the downward slide again, it's so difficult!

181 : 129, not so good today :(

181 : 128 = 309. Staying positive still!

180 : 128 = 308

179:128= 307 - 2 days of being very good, hope I can keep it up!

Stuck, I think I will finish this year the same weight as I started but at least I haven't put back what I lost. There was a time when I thought I would never shift under 12st but I haven't been that weight for about a year now so that's enough progress at the moment. If I get despondent I...

177 : 128 = 309

175 : 126 = 301

173 : 127 = 300. I am finding difficulty settling down to being good again.

guess the aim is to have more good days than bad ones. Had people for a meal yesterday so definitely bad! 173:125= 298

173:124= 297

173:123 = 295 (70 days to go)

172:123 = 295 I put on 7lbs while away but I have taken most of it off already thankfully.

170:123= 293

168:123 = 291

167:123 = 290, I will be pleased if I make 50%

Now back from my holiday, I haven't been very good. Time to get a few positive days in now!! 166:123 = 289 (76 days to go)

Sorry I wrote this because I had written something but then realised it was in the wrong place but couldn't delete it, nothing to do with anyone else. Sorry for the confusion!!

Written in wrong place

164:108 = 272 I am going away on another holiday for the next 17 days and I know I will not be able to be good. My intention is to be super good when I get back, hopefully that will not be just words!!

162:108 = 270

Well done Jess, amazing!! 160:108 = 268

I may not have lost weight but I tried on some clothes today that I haven't worn for while and they fit better so something must have happened!

159:108= 267 I may not have lost much weight recently but my clothes are fitting better so something must be happening!

158:108 I haven't been perfect but I have walked miles so allowed myself a bit of slack! Well done Emsie

I had a frozen shoulder a few years ago. A physiotherapist gave me some exercises to do and it resolved quite quickly, hope yours does soon too.

154:108=262. Gosh we are nearly 100 days away from Christmas again!

I have just looked back at the weight I was at the beginning of the year and I am exactly the same! I have been 3lbs lower so I hope to end the year there as a least or if possible 7lbs lower. My new strict effort starts on Nov 1st but I have a cruise to get through first! My aim on Jan 1st...

It's about a year since my last post! I am slowly building a scrap quilt for my eldest granddaughter. It's slow going because I find difficulty putting the different colours together to make it interesting and balanced. She's 5 now so maybe it will be finished by the time she's a teenager!

151:107 I went out walking the Thames Path for a few days so I deserve to lose weight but I don't think I have unfortunately.

145 : 107 = 252

Yes I think it would probably be as well to just record the stayers. Thanks for keeping it up! 144 : 107 = 251

143 : 107 = 107

142 : 105 = 247

1lb off today 137 : 105

135:105 Weight still the same but not trying to lose at the moment

129:102 =231 I am home for a couple of days so able to weigh and I am happy to report that I have lost half a pound even though I have not been very good for the last few weeks!

126:101=227 I am still away from home and finding it difficult to stay on track. I will need to do some serious work when I get home eventually.

124:99=223

121:98=219

119:97 I have been away from home for about 3 weeks now so no idea if I gained (I very much doubt that I have lost). I will it up in the autumn.

116 : 95 = 211 Away from home at the moment so not easy, not home until September.

111 : 91 = 202 It's hard enough keeping track of my own let alone everyone else's, you're doing a grand job Emsie!

109 : 88 = 196 I'm not being entirely strict but within reasonable boundaries, main aim is to keep my weight steady. Will get really serious again in September

105 : 88 = 193

101:86=187

98 : 86 = 184

95:85=180 I have been away again, it seems I forget how to eat properly when I walk out of my front door!

93 : 81 = 173

Well done Jess, hope you're seeing the results you deserve. 89: 80 = 169

88:80 = 168

87:80 = 167

Thanks Emsie, already 2lbs off! 86:80= 166

Back from holiday, I've got to have lots of good days now or my negative days will overtake the positive days. I have gained about 5lbs and will be interested to see how long it take to lose them again. Hope you are all getting on well! 85:80 = 165

84:63= 147, I am away now for 17 days, camping in France. I hope I can manage some positive days.

83;63= 146

83:62= 145

Not so good today but still having more than 50% good days, so not beating myself up too much. I find I put on a few pounds and then take them off again. I will have to wait until the autumn before making progress again. The spring / summer is the worst time for me. I usually get my act in...

81:62=143

79:62=141

78:61 = 139 had a few days off for visitors, should be back on track tomorrow

76:58 = 134

75:58 = 133

72:55= 127

71:55 = 126

68 : 52 = 120 Out again for a couple of days again from tomorrow. Thankfully so far I am managing to keep the positive days ahead of the negative ones. I haven't lost weight for a while but I have stayed more or less the same which is ok. I would like to lose another 7lbs so will keep...

67:52= 119. Trying to keep the Dr Hay non combining rules for a few days to take off the few pounds I've gained recently, seems to be working so far.

66 : 52=118

65:52=117

I have been away for a few days again so here's my update to today: 64:52 = 116 days so far

60/105, 60:45. Away today so won't be able to stay good sadly.

59/104 = 59:45 (I have changed my format to more reflect the year so far, I think)

58/365, 58:45/262

56/365, 56:45/264

Too well fed at cousins house today! 55/365, 55:45/265

55/365, 55:44/266 out for lunch tomorrow so unlikely to have a positive result.

54/365, 54:44/267

Some weekends are like that but in the end they help to get us motivated again. 52/365, 53:44/268

42/365, 42:41/282 (yesterday) Thanks Jess<3, glad it helps!

I'm back from a 3 week cruise, not a good place to contain 15 sins! I am now determined to get back on track for as many days as I can although I already have some engagements in the dairy which will be difficult to contain. Well done for keeping this thread going! x Score now 41/365...

Honkety honk

My projected numbers for the end of my holiday is 42/365, 42:41/282. Around 50%. I don't think I will be able to post until I get back. Good luck to everyone in the meantime x.

Well I'm going on holiday tomorrow for three weeks so I don't expect to be strictly within syns over that time. I did expect to have done better up until now so I'll have to be really good when I get back. Today 42/365, 42:16/307

41/365, 41:16/308. Out for lunch with my daughter, this is proving more difficult than I thought but I'll be satisfied if I end up 60:40% at the end of the year.

41/365, 41:15/ 309

40/365, 40:15/310. We are only human and it does us good to let go from time to time. I believe our bodies need a break from constant 'dieting'.

You are welcome to copy me in. 26:3/365, 26:3/336

Not a problem, it's just that I am going to be away for chunks of time in the year and so won't be inputting where I can't find wifi. I really don't mind if you do this a way that easiest for you, there's no rules as I said at the beginning! I'd rather people kept it up in whatever way is good...

Honkety honk

14/365, 14+2/349 I will continue inputting as I am but feel free to do something different if it's easier for you.

Sadly I put on nearly 2lbs even though I have been really good for most of this year so far. I hope it's just a blip.

Do share, are you going to have themes for 'good' days and 'bad' days (syn days)?

3/365. (3pos + 1neg/ 361)

Yes of course, welcome, the more the merrier!

Honkety honk

3/365 (3/362) so far so good but away over the weekend so may lapse for a couple of days, we'll see.

Would be good for motivation!

There's lots of choices, count whatever way seems to make sense to you, one mans meat and all that...

Welcome new joiners! 2/365, (2/363)

I stayed the same, it'll be a while before I start losing again I think. At least I feel my weight has stablised here now which is very positive for me.

Welcome missy1978

Honk, just, but feeling positive again. Happy new year x

Keeping it smple, 1/365 done, 364/1 to go. Not going to do syns, too complicated!

Well it's nearly all over and I have stayed within 2lbs of my end of year goal. So I start again tomorrow although it is going to be hard and I don't expect to get many positive days to start with. If I can do 60% again over the year I will be very happy. Goal this year is to get down to my...

After the 100 Day countdown to Xmas I decided to do a year countdown starting tomorrow. Anyone welcome, count which ever way you like, suggestions welcome. I am thinking of including daily syns but that may get complicated.

+2.5 today so 61 it is! Wishing everyone a very happy xmas and a successful 2013!

61/100, 61/98 made it to another day!

Honk!!

60/100, 60/97

Honk for probably the last time until the new year although I will try not to go over too much.

60/100, 60/96 so I am at least 60% and that's good enough if I don't manage any more!

Honk

I stayed the same but happy.

59/100, 59/95, just. Only one more and I'll relax!

58/100, 58/94, only 2 days to make 60!

Honkety honk

57/100, 57/93. Just 2.5 syns over :(

Yes all to easy to put it on and so hard to take it off!

Cottage cheese and tomato on toast, getting to be a safe habit at the moment.

Yes very positive, good planning. I don't think I will be so good. Trouble is even one day straying off diet means that it will take me at least a week to correct the balance. Oh well I have reached this year's goal and will be determined to get back to a new goal in the New Year!

I'm sure you can make 40, only 1 more day to go!

57/100, 57/92 just

Honk

Butternut squash soup

56/100, 56/91 Well done for not losing it even after going over syns. I'm trying to do that cos went over at lunch although I decided not to count syns today. Back to being good again tomorrow - we are only human!
