Hello, Sophie from the future here :D this thread is long dead but I stumbled upon it and wanted to randomly update many years on. It's amazing to think back to when I started this thread - obese, miserable about myself, always trying to hide my body and feeling so much shame, yet I had...

Amazing job on your recent losses!! You're on a roll :D

Ahh but pregnancy is to blame for that Sophie, stop being so hard on yourself!! Beautiful babe to show for it :D Am trying not to be hard on self but am fed up at lack of progress for so long! Didnt gain weight at last weigh in (expected to) but period week is quite forgiving like that! Had...

Hey Aymz! Wow, I'm so flattered to read your post :D thanks so much for the kind words and words of support! I'm really glad that my diary inspired you, can't believe I started it more than two years ago now! I remember when I first nervouslt attempted Slimming World (had never dieted before)...

I know how you feel about green day guilt, because the carbs are drilled into our brain as naughty... Just be careful with quantities! If you look at the guidelines for a standard quantitiy of pasta on the packet it is so small! But Cheekychinchilla does really great on mainly green :) she packs...

Your energy in these recent posts is awesome :D you sound SO MOTIVATED and it is inspiring to read that! Fantastic job on all the walking and dog training and pet owner awesomeness!! One thing I will say though is re PB syns- google the calories for your particular variety and divide by 5 aa...

Wow, somehow the past few days I've found some momentum for exercise :D I've done 3 days of doing my arms work outs both first thing in the morning and before bed - I keep it in mind that I just have to do: 2 x 10 reps assisted pressups 2 x 20 reps bicep dips 30 sec plank 30 sec 8kg kettle lifts...

Ahh cupcakes are a real weak spot for me!! Have you ever had hummingbird bakery ones? *DIES* Good for you counting them within saved syns... I suck at keeping track of syns... Had a jam doughbut today after a big lunch out, doh! LOL at your racist/ageist dogs hahahaha... Quite a lot of dogs are...

Weighed in today and have lost 3lbs since Tuesday's 2lb PMS gain but even though I should be delighted that is gone I am still kinda depressed that despite 10 days trying really hard I am just down a pound in all- and this is after not being on plan for some time so was hoping to shift some...

Hey Sophie! Am really proud of you for getting back on the ball with SW so fast! You must be wonderwoman to juggle a new born and dieting :eek: But it sounds like you really have your head in place with it- awesome :) Really cool that Clevins has such a unique name too (unlike us Sophie's hahaha...

OH OH! I just got my frigging period! NO WONDER the gain! So fingers crossed that was just PMS bloating!! :D I was due on about 10 days ago before I went to Qatar the last time, I got a bit of spotting (barely though) and then my PMS symptoms went away so I wondered if that was it for now since...

Haha I know! But I feel the difference in that half stone, probably in my head quite a bit but I dont feel as slim ;( How comes you stopped the injection? Just trying something new? Have been healthy today but tomorrow is looking like a booze blow out sighhhh, not sure how else I could enjoy a...

Hi Tracybelle!! Thanks so much for the kind words! It is probably like trying to read 8 books at the rate I waffle on here haha! Am really glad my diary can help motivate though :) Really sucks how easy it is to gain from a week off plan isnt it?! Especially when that week wasnt half as bad as...

Hey Cheeky! Ohhh implant! That would FREAK ME OUT lol!! I am like 8lbs above what I was last year- so annoying!! I do feel like my apetite is much reduced since coming off the pill now though. Ended up having three ciders yesterday at two different pub meets with friends! Enjoyed myself but am...

Hey Cheeky! Sadly despite all my current motivation and a week of good I'm still up 1.5lbs :( I'm guessing from the previous trip as I didn't WI between. SIGH. Gutted. Am up to 14st 2lbs now :( keeping at it and yesterday was another good food day but sadly I really want a drink, want to have a...

The past 3 weeks have been mental travel wise; 4 return trips to the Middle east, 5 days at home (spilt over 3 occaisions - so often just for a DAY with 10hr flight days either side- arghhh) and a total of 14 flights if including the connecting ones... SHEESH. Was so stressed and am now glad to...

Yeah, I wish I could push myself to exercise more or get into a routine as I do feel better for it! 2lb gain this week arrrggghhh. I am so bored of this, back up to 14st and am flying Thurs for 10 days away in Qatar again ;( more living out of a hotel room and snacking rather than cooked...

Hey guys :) has been a while since I checked in. I've been to and from the Middle East for work filming; I was back for a DAY on Weds, 8hr flights either side- was feeling rough re: diet, on flights I just... I just suck. I get the munchies like I do at the cinema, I eat loads of chocolate and I...

Miss_Taken that sounds so awful :( I totally feel your pain as although this pill has made me depressed another of the half doazen I tried made me an absolute mess! One of them made me get hysterical when I was hungry with like no warning!! My libido has been insane this week while breaking from...

Hey Belle! Thanks for that reassuring post!! I think I just stumbled upon a horror story thread of repliers who had probably searched the hair loss thing to be honest... What is your mini pill called? Have tried so many other pills which really screwed me up, I seem to get really affected by...

Thanks dude :) I hate that spiral of comfort eating because depressed about previous comfort eating LOL so stoopid... Have semi decided that I am going to stop taking the pill (am meant to start new strip on Sun), I originally started it so I could attempt to reduce my unwanted body hair from...

Ah and Valentines weekend so probably busier/prices higher ;(

80 is a LOT per night, shee sh! Is there not a nice b+b around? Check booking.com - that was a lifesaver on our travels. Anything around an 8/10 tended to be really good and anything less than a 7.5 had obvious flaws. Should highlight lots of places in the area and you can look by price too :)

Bad week for diet... All stemmed off of that super drunken night on Friday, an out of control hangover munchies session that included half a large Doninoes pizza on Saturday and several depressive days of comfort eating since :/ those several days could have been worse (fri/sat could not! Lol)...

Really nice pattern! I swear it is impossible to not spend loads in Asda :| everything is so cheap and I am always like WHAT?! :eek: at checkout! Why are you most scared of hamsters? I had 3 growing up and they were just cute fluff balls :P

Also, last year in March my dad threw this MASSIVE party for his 50th and this year he's doing one for my stepmother's 50th in the same style- he's hired the snazzy golf club near his house and it'll be a massive party with dress up costumes, a Photo Booth, a band and DJ, lots of scrummy food...

OK, WI yest showed a 2lb gain, but straight after breakfast I pooped for the first time in 3 days so I re-weighed today and I was back to what I was before :P so I'm counting that as an STS. I think it was to do with it being not long since I flew too, flights always make me retain water and I...

Hey Cheeky! Nah I didnt go to the doc as I knew it was just a common cold/virus thing. I managed OK in the end! I still have the awful chesty/muccusy cough but I'm not really suffering and after a week of work and boring flight days (plane screens were down on BOTH flights so couldnt watch films...

Sorry to hear your week wasso rough but congrats on the 1kg off! Ypu definitely can do it if you keep the pressure off and the off days controlled :) Have you tried ebay for the fitbit? They probably have both new and second.hand retaillers, my polar was an unused one someone didnt want and I...

Thanks dude, quiet nervous about lugging around huge tripods and equipment when just standing up is tiring right now, especially on my lungs as yest eve my inhalers were doing f*ck all and I had bad asthma for hours from nothing at all... If that happens while shooting I'll be screwed :/ but my...

I'm not sure about software issues but I have used my polar (chet strap and watch) in the water. You cant leave the HRM polars running all day for an accurate calorie count (not that that is what you want) as they over track rest massively... Is the fit bit kinda just an enhanced pedometer...

Family were over today talking take away options... I was ill and starving and yet wasnt in the mood for one :S instead I made everyone syn free delicious homemade beef burgers in a wm bun with a fried egg inside and side salad and felt so satisfied :D

Fantastic NSV, what a feeling!!

Drank my body weight in Vodka on Fri, fantastic evening! Awful hangover amd came down with a bug on Sat so food wasnt great but not awful... Have been ill with a chesty cough and awful asthma, struggling to breathe when doing anything on my feet :( nervous about work trip (I fly to kuwait in...

Really sucks about ME/weight gain but I think this has affevted you for years so in a way at least you can be less harsh on yourself for gaining weight back. Re activity trackers- I know they can be quite inaccurate but dont use mine as a "I can now let myself off for cake because I burnt...

Lovely gifts! I love Totoro!! I recently got a sweatshirt with the totoro poster on- love it! Was only a tenner online too. I know exactly what you mean about it being so hard after some time off plan to get your head straight!! Tis why my job (filming in the middle east) really gets in the way...

Happy belated bday!! Sounds like a nice time, what pressies did you get? :D 1lb a week is a good goal, not to put too much pressure on... Where are you going on hol?? X

Same, and these days once I am off plan in that I am drinking I seem to forget about plan all together Aww I always try and rationalise weight gain stuff but your bod is just a real strange one hey? Not fair after such efforts :( try not to be to disheartened...x

Just had WI, a day early as I didn't want to put myself off a workout (water retention from ache the next day = unreliable WI) but it had been 6 days since the last and I feel good weighing just once a week at the moment which is nice. Wii told me -1lb but the weight still read on the chart as...

Brunch! Mmmm! Twas amazing :D 2 egg whites and one yolk scrambled, two rashers of fat removed bacon with cheese grillwd on, half a fried onion, half a tin of beans and salad. So satisfying!!! Yesterday was seriously veg heavy and a good on plan day but still feeling bad about the weekend naughties!

Daaaamn :( but did you weigh at the same time of day? What was your fluid intake like before? Pint of water could gain you a pound probably... Clothes the same? I get so paranoid about these variables so always weigh before breakfast in the nude LOL. Try doing that in your work corridor... ;)...

Such a bad weekend for diet that I will probably regain that loss *sigh*. On Sat had about 6 Guliyan seashells (bro brought a box around) and got plastered on vodka and went to a party where I scoffed doritoes (didnt have dinner) then yesterday I met friends for a Japanese lunch- had yaki soba...

Ooh so what is this matcha challenge you are doíng? If it attracts the poo fairy I need to get on it!

Uhhh re-weigh!! I think that deserves a re-weigh! I'd be shocked if that didnt shift at VERY LEAST 1lb if not 2lbs..! If I were you I would do a one off re-weigh :p but I cheat a lot like that hehe. So annoying about hair- telling them caramel and getting red... I would return and ask them to...

Testing the app on my new phone- last one couldnt upload pictures for some reason so trying to attach one here now! Burnt nearly 1000 cal today over a 2hr period according to my polar heart rate monitor :D I did some exerbeat (boxercise wii game) and 30 day shred level one -- twice! I didnt...

So quiet here, how are you doing CT? Guess you are super busy with wedding planning and uni?? x

Damn, you deserved more than that off! :( I know you have the injection but do you notice any loss pattern from your (hidden) cycle? Some weeks for me I have to try twice as hard as others to get the same loss, other weeks it comes off without trying- really frustrating on the weeks one tries...

Hey dude! I'm totally bogged down with period discomfort - I skipped one with the pill over xmas, the one before that was just after I got back from India and then I skipped the previous one while I was away, so I've not had as many but I think they kinda build up and unleash extra...

I am reallybglad I dont have scales I can just jump on, Cheeky! When I did in Dubai I was on and off them every other hour!! I WI on my wii fit which takes time to boot up and logs everything- means it is less sly to jump on and I would feel guilty while it loaded up :P But yeah- good idea not...

I know- minis is so quiet hese days and I've not been on plan enough to hang out here much haha! I am feeling determined to get on plan when I get home- yesterday was a very healthy day but today I was stuck with what I was given at airport- arghhh my connecting flight got overbooked so I had to...

Ahh dude I am still mot on plan and I've gained 2lbs since my post xmas WI :( boooo. Not really feeling it at the mo! 2st- that sucks! So unfair how easily you gain when you are such a healthy eater :( Hope you're having a great new year so far! X

Just popping in to say Merry Christmassss :) will be more active again on here in the new year now that I'm home again! Hope you've had a really awesome Christmas :) :109:

Hellooooo! Did my post xmas weigh in today and expected to be all mournful, but miraculously I LOST 2lbs :eek: however, be jealous not as the week before I did my post 3-weeks-in-the-Middle-East WI and had gained 8LBS!! Buuut basically it's very cycle related, I was continuing the pill but when...

Hey Kelly, how's stuff going? Shame Pinta is so difficult to walk but sounds like your efforts to teach her obedience are already starting to pay off :)! Hope you are having a nice run up to xmas! Am homebound tonight and bracing myself for cold weather! X

Have been eating well except on shoots where I've been awful :O but still weigh the same according to.hotel scales so guess it is balanced out :) I dont mind just maintaining out here as long as I dont gain loads...! Last night I had camel for dinner and loooads of chocolate and macaroons :P I...

Hey Cheeky! Work trip is going good, thanks :) am nearly a week down and I think I've done pretty well food wise! Have had two shoots but haven't gorged on the desserts like I often do on them out here- I mean, I had a decent handful of epic chocolates but nothing too mental- I often get into...

Just try and manage one thing at a time hun... Cant imagine trying to deal with illness flaring up and diet and grieving and sick pups :( *hug* Xmas soon to give you something to be cheery about :D I cant bloody wait! X

-3lbs todayyyy :D India gain is gone and I'm just 2lbs above my lowest weight of 13st6 in Feb :D about 1.5lbs away from healthy BMI again! Yippeee! * week arrived last night so I knew my big loss would be today, was slightly nervous though after a couple of nights drinking in the week and a...

Hey love, sorry to hear your depression is so bad :( I'm not suprised considering what a hard time this is for you *hug* Sounds like everyone (dogs!) is a bit stressed and it is coming out in various ways! Am finding sw focus hard too, am having too many treat days that include alcohol in...

Last night's naughties included two mini bottles of wine (1.8 glasses in each), two strong bows and dinner was 6 onion rings! Had intended on a liquid dinner (if I mix food and booze I get nauseas) but my friend ordered a burger and doesn't like onion rings and they are my faaave :D I know they...

Bit gutted that I got an STS today as I've been so damn good! I didn't even do a mid week WI... I know the culprit is my cycle; I'm due on in 6 days so I guess this week wasn't a good week for losing due to that. I guess also that I probably got a big chunk of a post travel loss before I found...

Hey Minis! This is a bit of an analytical post in terms of diet; since returning from India and being frankly god smacked by not gaining about 6x what I did, I've decided I need to have a closer look at my diet and understand things a bit... Before I went away I'd really struggled to lose...

Pinta sounds lovely!! I guess it is stressful for her to adjust to a new enviroment so hopefully she gets more relaxed around men as she has time to settle... Do you think she was mistreated by a man and thus is fearful? Grr @ John for not listening/co-operating! Good luck with that :P I really...

Lol Kelly! In now time, eh? I like the sound of that :D The monkeys were my favourite as we got so close, even though they were really common compared :P but the leopard and bears were far so it kinda didnt feel different to like zoo viewing lol :P Today has been a healthy low cal day but have...

Great results Jody! Sounds like you are exercising really hard! Awesome to have you back :) Sucks that all these extra bills are coming in oht of nowhere! But exciting that you are moving into your new home soon :) Am totally broke myself after a month in India, bit scary! X

She is just beautiful Kelly :) sounds like a lovely dog. How are you doing now? How was your weekend? Well done for getting your food on track during such a messy time. X

Huge congrats on the 8st award- and even more so on this new mental understanding about how your confidence is even more important than the scale results! Completely agree with you! X

I know it is kinda crazy that I am rejoicing over a 3lb gain :P but seriously... I have gained more than that in a weekend shooting in Dubai! And I know a week or two back on plan will even that right out :) I am really excited to get back to losing weight after a year of fluctuating because of...

Hellooooo! I'm hoooome! Awesome trip :) saw so much! We hit up 11 cities in under 3 weeks, then spent the last week lazing on the beach in Goa for a few days and then in Mumbai (also lazing at Esther's house as was so exhausted)! Saw lots of shocking things but strangely wasn't that...

So sorry I havent been around to be supportive (havebt had wifi properly in ages!) but you have been in my thoughts all the time and I tear up every time I think about what you must be going through :( losing my cat Zombie was the most heartbreaking thing I've ever been through and we had him...

Hellooo from Heahrow. I am waiting to board my first of three flights to Delhi, India! Ahh! Food went to crap this week due ro chocolate cravings but SOMEHOW I lost 2lbs?! Wtf!! Just goes to show how cycle affects SO MUCH. I have had sts's on 100% weeks and now a loss on a fail week! 4lbs total...

Great news that everything is going so well! Cant help your aversion to meat and veg, pregnancy really messes with your taste for things! I went off meat and veg a few weeks ago too :S Besides, baby+fluid add a lot of weight! We'll definitely still be here for you in Jan :) and we'll be here...

Hope you're having a great time and not too inhibited by your illness! Missing your posts. Am off tomorrow for a month, eeek. X

Cupcakes are my vice- I'm in awe of your ability to throw that :O Your vs Mick's burgers look like mine and G's! He likes everything bloody plain, so boring lol! (boring yet skinny) X

Totally feel you Rochelle, I felt so bleurgghh after all that crap. Aunt flow has brought serious chocolate cravings this past couple of days, meals have been on plan but chocolate snacking has NOT been :/ oh dear. I find it hard to properly 'recharge' unless totally on my own, so will be...

Wednesday was G and my 3rd year anniversary :) we celebrated by having a PJ day indulging in naughty foods, playing video games we bonded over when we got together and had a take away. I let myself eat ANYTHING as if my diet didn't exist- I made a conscious effort not to think about calories and...

Thanks for the pep talk Charley :) I think I was in the mindset of "I'll be getting drunk and blowing syns" and then my drinking buddybof the gang didnt even make it, so it was kinda a waste to have already started drinking and I was like "sod it. More booze + nosh" ! Went straight back on plan...

Last night I was awful... Friends came over and I just didnt sensor my food intake. Wine, cider, chocolate, doritoes, loooads of cashews :( damnit!

Sounds like madness preparing for holiday and battling your illness :( I hope you have a lovely time away though!! When are you off? X

I will learn how to play it!! I have learnt this 3 note meddly that I have played ooover and over (neighbours are all moving town already, if not considering chopping their ears off ;) ) Mum came over yesterday and we had fun for once- recently when she has been over we have both have felt...

Hey guys! Taking it one day at a time seems to be working and already (day 2 back on plan) I'm feeling way better and more in control of what I'm eating :) yay. Thanks for your support/pep talks. Last night I was feeling really awful (really bad bout of depression/BPD and had a fight with G)...

Thanks Charley :) Surprised that the amount of cr*p I ate this weekend only gained me 1lb, and I feel pretty dehydrated from the wine yest so maybe that is even less ;) I am up 4lbs all together from the padt couple of weeks, 13st 12lbs, shame as I was finally getting some body confidence back...

Today at 'in laws' ate badly (bannoffee pie, wine, chocolates, fjfjdjehd(%%+3/he) but decided that tomorrow is a new week and I am going to start measuring hex's and counting syns and having meals instead of cereal!! My kitchen scales are finally loaded with new batts! WI is expected to suck...

So not like take aways and cake bad, but more gain worthy I'm sure. *sigh*

I love you guys, thanks so much for the support. Will reply properly when I'm feeling less pooped... This weekend havr been so off plan at dad's house babysitting my little sisters. You are both right- am def not trying 0 carbs right now as so cant face that, but cant face cooking either and I...

Thanks guys :( today's mid week WI is another half pound (it was +2.5 before so now +3 I guess). My mojo is so f*cked :( I really did find it so much easier when I was cold turkey off the carbs but as Cheeky said - it's so hard when depressed to not binge comfort eat at times and to force extra...

Flu-y :( oh dear. Did you go to work? Hope things improve... Great that you look lighter than your lowest ;) maybe being active at work again has tackled inches? X

+3 since last mon (an extra pound up from Thurs) - not good! One bender early in the week has made me lose the plot! I have barelt eaten veggies, overly snacking rather than meals... Mainly carby cereal/porridge and een sometimes bread :/ I can see exactly where I went wrong and I think I need...

Sorry to hear work was so sucky :( you deserve some comfort treats after that... Dying puppies would totally call for a take away in my eyes!! *hug* Glad Dave is doing better :) x

Sorry to hear you are so down about the cruise- shame you cant be excited :( Why dont you try and think short term- challenge yourself to a full week of 100% on plan? That first week is always the hardest as we fight the cravings- it takes 3-4 days to get the extra antibodies out of our system...

Having a weird week... Have really been off of meat, just havent wanted it :/ sadly, all my body does seem to want is dairy and carbs- namely porridge, eggs, yoghurt and banana with peanut butter :/ Am off plan but still eating diet conscious, just cant face the red days when so anti meat. Have...

Great NSV :D Work sounds harsh! Hang in there chick... How is Dave doing?? X

CT - I suck at watching films at home because I just zone out on my laptop and end up not watching! :P Cinema I'm kinda forced to watch, but then I just stuff myself- grr! It is totally demotivating to work so hard to lose a gain... My lowest (13st6lbs) was a bit of a fluke and then I gained...

Burnt 500 cal yesterday doing a strength/cardio mixed work out for 1.5hrs (made it up as I went along) focusing on arms with weights, some boxercise and jogging and press ups etc. Am a ball of ache today and knew this meant it would be bad to WI but did anyway :P +2! Whoops! Ignoring that as I'm...

Good luck with WI tomorrow! I've noticed my waer weight drops as soon as *week appears now so I get that boosted loss even from the morning I come on! Hope you get a big chunkbof that gain off hun x

Damn gain! Undeserved! Hopefully some shifts quick before the weekend... I do find a cheeky extra WI often relieves me after a gain. Buffets are just awful! There is no such thing as not overeating at a bufet :P I was really strict with the breakfast buffet in Florida- fresh pancakes and...

I bought some Weetabix Oaty Bar Toffee Dazzler bars from poundland because they looked yum and were only 80cal- turns out one can be a HexB! They are SO NICE! A real treat... Quite small considering you only get one, but really fills that sweet desire... I think I prefer them to Chewy Delights...

Did a naughty mid week WI because I suck at sticking to my word re: WI's ;) -1lb :D even after binge drinking on a night out on Fri... Woop! It is that time in the cycle... Apetite has been low this weekend which is nice. So technically -5 in a week- insane! Though 2lbs of that was shaving off...

I def think that if you aim for a healthy breaky it'll massively help overall... Good thing breakfast buffet wont be there to haunt you- they are awful! Pack a few porridge pouches (or just oats?!) in your suitcase- done! I bring them every time I fly somewhere hehe, so useful when you need a...

As soon as I am on the plane to a work shoot (I always sit alone/away from colleagues) I go into pig mode! I just hate sitting still- same at cinemas- I instantly turn to food to calm my ADHD lol... And then while away I'm under the mindset of "oh well, I already f*cked up on the plane, another...

Amazing that you did 5 work outs and a stretch thingy in a week :eek: impressive!! Sucks about asthma though :( I suffer with it too and havent grown out of it yet, have had it since age 2! When did you feel you had grown out of it? X

Your off plan days sound like a normal healthy diet really, not a weight loss one but a balanced one :) you had some treats but nothing crazy! Doesnt deserve a gain anyway so fingers crossed for you as I know your metabolism sucks ballz :P Xmas pressies already jeeze!! I'm going to get all mine...

Haha I really need to knuckle down on how I eat when out there though- no excuses for how I chocolate binge :/ but I find many invalid ones at the time :P

Had a great time dancing my socks off dressed as wonder woman at the superheros vs villains theme rock night :D drank my weight in syns- at least 50 I'd say! But today have been super healthy without much effort- have been too lazy to cook so had a leftover cold salmon fillet and cottage cheese...

-4lbs today!! :D yay, the gain is gone and an extra 2lbs!! I got my period this morning and it seems quite a routine thing that I lose the water weight from *week the day I get it, so this is my post *week loss ;) but still, am so relieved! ALSO I was wrong about the shoot on Mon- it's actually...

Soooo... Have just signed up for a shoot in Dubai leaving on Sunday... Anyone wanna bet I'll get the 2lb gain off just in time to put it back on again? :( I REALLY need to sort this out or it's going to be an endless spiral! On the plus note- yay, Dubai! I am psyched to not have to wear an...

Well done for making it through that night shift- ouch! Sounds like a nightmare! I get completely thrown after my Middle East shoots for a few days- having body clock so messed around like that is enough on it's own without all of the exertion to exhaust us! Hope you can take it easy a bit soon! x

Gosh, am so up and down these days. Yesterday I opted for a salad at pizza express- it was really nice! Had some cheeky mozzarella and avocado etc, but was under 340 calories. However- the lunch really dragged (with G's mum and sister) and I was really tired and bored of the small talk and...

I tried my boyfriend's jeans on and they FIT! OMG :D when we met he was like 11.5st and I was 20.5st! And now we're the same size :D get innnnn! Also, was starving and with friends in town who were heading for a Chinese- but I decided to opt out and had a subway salad instead :)

Haha thanks dude! For some reason compliments just don't register with me half of the time, even when people say nice things I just glare at the mirror lol. I think my tummy was so sucked in by those high waist jeans that it looks flat! It isn't normally haha! I think that's why I usually like...

Annnnnd the 2lbs is back on... Lol. :@ Basically it's been on and off the past month- I rock the diet at home but as soon as I'm away on a work trip I get naughty :( it's just too tempting having all that cake and chocolate and crap around! I wasn't even THAT bad at the wedding this time, but...

Thanks for the pep talks guys :) Was indeed an infection, seems like they almost expect it to get infected- da fuq?? Thry put medicine in and told me not to take antibiotics unless it was sill bothering me in 24hrs- is has been awful today on the flights so have started taking them :( I had...

Thanks love! Totally agree... I always knew it got harder nearer target but I though that it wouldnt be this slow until nearer middle of the healthy bmi range! Off to Saudi again tomorrow, a last minute confirmation of something I agreed to a few weeks back but it was only tentative and I didnt...

Awwwwieeeee!! How old is Runty? That vet sounds like a total d*ck! Man I hate that! At film school on a shoot I asked my class mate for help as the tripod was falling over as I was adjusing it with a beast camera on it- he just stood there amd said "I'm not in the camera department, I'm doing...

Congrats auntie Charley!! :D I wanna go baby clothes shopping too! Good luck with WI xx

OK so haters gonna hate but I decided to do a mid week WI after all LOL, just a week after saying I'd stop. The Saudi gain had been eating at my confidence and I just wanted some relief- and that I now have! The 2lb gain is off! PHEW. You know how logic tells you one thing ("It'll come off...

The way I see yoghurts is that most of the low fat ones are still the same calorie content for the size, so shouldnt tip the bucket! Mullers are 99 cal and bigger than most! You are on a roll with weight loss at the mo :D wowowow! Hope your weekend shift is passing quickly, I know how awful...

Tooth extraction sucked! Had a cheeky Chinese that eve as I needed a treat... Nothing over syns or crazy, but still feel guilty as I've been over-treating a bit at home :( have been so snacky this week and it doesnt help that we have been low on supplies but waiting for a voucher to activate...

+2!! DAMNIT! I've been so good since I've been back but am definitely regretting all those truffles and the wine :/ did I really have 7000 calories more than normal to GAIN 2lbs in 3 days? *****... Tomorrow I'm having my broken molar extracted and have to be gassed for it :/ I broke two molars...

Haha totally doesn't count if it's another continent ;) That nose ring was fake actually- just a magnet thing I got in a market out there to play a joke on G as he HATES that sort of thing (he is phobic of peas and said "IT LOOKS LIKE A PEA ON YOUR FACE!" lol!) I thought it would be funny but it...

Oh boy, I was BAD in Saudi :P ate so much crap :( on the flight days I was pretty bad (drank 3 glasses of wine on the flight home) and at the shoot I gorged on these AMAZING nutella like truffles that the waiters were bringing around on trays (they kept bringing them to me because they saw how...

Haha- hasn't given me much alone time as he's only had them over HERE to invade my space :P but he'll see them and my friend Dan hopefully this weekend while I'm in Saudi. Mid week WI today- I thinkkkk I'm going to scrap Mid week WI's now, I didn't really feel the need today but as I'm off to...

Bf said "Baby, you're looking gaunt!" last night, totally took it as a compliment LOL. Stayed on plan and didnt join in when two large dominoes pizzas were ordered to my flat by bf/friends last night!!

*sends you the force, Luke!* Funny that you found London underground so crap- I rarely find myself using steps (I always groan when I do lol!) but maybe because I usually change trains at Finsbury Park or Kings Cross to lines that have escalator connections! I guess though, thinking about it...

Thanks guys! Just awkward that my cousin wants tonhang out now in a guilt tripping kinda way ("I wont be back here for a year!! You MUST find more time for me!" err - do not want!) Yesterday I did 20 mins of exerbeat (boxercise cardio game on the wii) and some strength training (press ups and...

Hey Bev, sorry your birthday got you down, I was so damn depressed for mine, spent most of the day wallowing in self pity :| it was awful- I hate birthdays now! Anyway, I know how you feel and hope you feel better soon kiddo. Definitely do Alton Towers soon with friends!!

Man, at the do my cousim who's here from Isreal basically interrogated me and accused me of having an eatig disorder LOL :mad: apparently it is so inconcievable that someone can lose weight in a healthy way. She gave me this look amd squeezed my arm when I got back from topping my lipstick up...

That 5lbs will probably be off after a week back on plan, as you said- probably a lot of water retention. X

Hi Bexi, nice to have you here! Thanks Rochelle :) I definitely have the loose skin thing with ny tummy but not too badly yet, but arms are OK skin wise, just bingo wings galore and need toning! I have been really careful to exfoliate and moisturise to encourage cells to replenish and retain...

Haaaappy birthday! Xxx

So sorry hun :( cant imagine what you are going through, that must be so difficult *hug* Back on plan/exercising will give you something to focus on and keep motivated, we're here to support you on that but also if you ever need to vent we are always here to listen x

Woohoooo!! Amazing :D

Thanks dude :D Haha yeah, to be honest, after years of being so 'firm' it is sucky to have wobbly thighs/bum but they don't bother me like the arms on show! I guess eventually I'll get doing lunges/squats to tone up but for now I'm too lazy :P *week has the better of my snackability today...

Ummm poo fairy has made two appearances today ;) I think that would be at least another pound off! Have been much more regular this week, I think no carbs is helping :D 5th pf visit of the week, usually get like ONE a week!!

Dug out a dress from a video shoot I worked on a couple of years ago- bought for the slim model in the video (though was loose on her) and at the time I was a size 20 and am now a 12-14, I tried it on nervously but it fit like a glove! Felt like a total princess ;)

I think arms are the thing that is so often bare- I can wear a nice fitted dress that shows off where my waist dips and then is loose over my fat tum/ass but ARMS are just always there giving the game away- lol! So first signs of *week showed up this morning, had low hopes for mid week WI as I...

Carb free js going retardedly easy! I feel the pms sugar itch today (still no show of aunt flow! So mid week WI tomorrow is looking great! *snorts*) I spent today on a job, recording sound for something I'll film next week... They had treats out and I didnt resist :( a big bowl of milk buttons...

This article about food sensitivity is really interesting! http://m.prevention.com/food/food-remedies/do-you-have-food-sensitivity?cid=socHE_20140812_29546986 Especially the bit about cravings- your body over produces abtibodies to fight what you are sensitive too amd prepare for more-- making...

Oh you poor thing :( so sorry to hear about what a sh*te week you've had and about poor Rocco :( *BIG HUG* must be devastating, especially as he was the last of the family you'd raised for all those years :'( *hughughug!!* and to deal with him and Saddam in one week must be really awful...

OH and I saw that crush guy (who hit on me via fb) yesterday at another meetup thing- jeeeeze! He KEPT touching me- like playful tickles and stuff. I didnt spend that long talking to him as I wanted to branch out and meet new people (and stop swooning) but he was making my life very difficult...

I am pretty sure t was over-cerealing when I wasnt hungry but had hex's spare :P I always save it for my evening sweet treat but that is a bad habit as 200cal for a hex treat when a less cal chocolate treat would probably donif I synned it- seems silly! Anyway since reading about body types (am...

Ohh I much prefer the other sainsburys sausages- best of british cumberland low fat sausages- 1.5 syns each I believe, quite a difference in syn value but two is always enough and thry dont even seem low fat to me, I love them! Though maybe because I tried so many half arsed tesco ones first and...

Glad you sound so excited! Pasta n sauce as a detox though? So full of preservatives and msg! Haha... I dont know I personally find them all a bit gross tasting and just love me some standard hexA cheesey spaghetti cooked in stock cubes :D nommm. *WANTS* I read yesterday how endomorph body...

Bf said "I dont think you should lose any more weight, your bum is getting small" lol!!

I just really liked the baddie in Purge! He was so smiley and evil and ooooh it was kinda hot ;) Cineworlds in central london (shaftsbury ave and haymarket) you have to pay extra for- I think £2 or £3, as there is a higher priced contract to add those cinemas to your unlimited card. Bit silly...

It's great that you are enjoying eating so much :D I need to try some new bits as nothing really excites me at the mo :( not even cereal (whaaaat?!) hehe. I really wanna see Purge Anarchy! What did you think of the first one? Loved the villian guy!!

Fantastic how positive and driven you sound :) but why do you expect to be hungry your first week back to 100%? I never really get hungry on SW as I just eat (something healthy) when I do! Dont under portion or you'll feel more of that deprivation! Good luck tonight :) thinking of you! X

STS today despite on plan red days since Mon :/ annoying that I didn't even shave off that +0.5! I wonder if I'm overeating free food (having quite a few yoghurts as snacks at the mo) or maybe just not counting syns well- am kinda estimating them and if I over Hex I think "I have 5 syns spare...

Your breakfasts sounds really good :) healthy but also good energy food! When I started SW I was so sad to lose toast AND cereal for breakfast but now I have realised that even if I crave a huge fry up or potato pancake- If I just chop a banana and apple into a ff yoghurt the cravings just go...

Sorry to hear about Saddam :( how do you think your friend took it? I'm sure it wasnt your fault at all, could have been stressed to be moved to a different place adding to other problems? Your mapped walks are so inspiring? You should totally do some measurements, especially thighs/waist as I...

Nothig like a holiday to keep you motivated for weight loss :D (and then eat too much ice cream and get really demotivated after LOL) Sounds great :D yay!

Just wanted to say that I saw real results from this :) had to stop as it bothered my bad knee (chair dips and lady push ups put quite the strain on it and I was having more pain) But from these exercises (7 mins worth or so) daily for a month I lost the folliwing: -2" from each thigh -2" from...

+0.5lbs, lame but whatever! Post booze dehydration, right?! ;) haha. Pf visited both before and after weigh in weirdly!

Resisted a take away today but did have a coupla vodkas with my friend, hope it's not enough to dehydrate me for tomorrow's WI... Pushed through a Red day despite carby cravings so do feel good about that :) My energy has been so damn low :( awful, cant face doing anything! If I perk up...

Yay that you updated your ticker :D "skinny" comment must have been a boost! Is the polar loop kinda like a pedometer then, but tracks swimming too? I use my polar in the water too, was great to see what I was burning while swimming! x

I love your attitude with everything! Just caught up and your diary is such a pleasure to read :) Fantastic that listening to your body worked- 2lbs off is great!! I think it is fantastic that you are heating avocados and thinkig about health as well as weight loss :) I love pepsi max and the...

Hangover munchies subsided in the evening- guess as the sickness left I didnt feel the need to comfort it with food :P so all I add to that list is another small cup of cereal, extra hex's but whatever :P less calories than if I'd had the other chicken breast or leftover bolignase.

Ahh I havent flirted back- would feel too guilty!! But do secretly enjoy it when he flirts with me :rolleyes: Am sooo on the hangover munch today! :/ we bailed on G's brother's bbq as I felt too sick this morning to handle the 3hrs of driving and all the socializing :( but Dan came over and...

I can imagine! Extraction is the end of aug some time. Bluerghh so hungover, million syns worth of vodka :rolleyes: sooo cba with G's family stuff today- 1.5hr drive 2 when feeling all sick isnt going to be fun :( I didnt get enough sleep either so am all snappy and grumpy :( However...

P.s. Burnt 700 cal yesterday in attempt to balance out the drinking a bit :P that's a few vodkas accounted for, right? ;) I did a lot of strength work (press ups and with weights etc) which the polar doesnt really count as it doesnt raise your heart beat as much as cardio or something, so...

I was desperate for SW when I got back so it was easy to get into the mind set- missed my home cooking! Dude, that's just one tooth fixed now :( having one extracted (woth laughig gas) at the emd of August as it is too broken/nerve too damaged to be numbed. Luckily as it is next to the start of...

*huuug* :) glad to see your head back in the game, woop! If I were you I would do my own morning WI at boots that morning (or even before) to give you a bit of piece of mind as to what sort of weight change is actually real rather han just the change in scales and time of day etc... Just me, but...

I love my polar :D but do note that even though it says you can get the info on a computer- you have to buy another expensive device to transfer it over :@ I didnt, it does store x amount depending on the model. Does the loop come with a chest strap? But yeah- it has REALLY helped motivate me...

So proper WI today and shows a -2lbs for this full week, quite happy with that! :D Was nervous after the +1 on mon but pretty certain that was due to dehydration from the booze the day before. Booze always butchers WIs for me! But glad it didnt for the weekly total. So am now 14st exactly and...

Yo! Sorry I've been a bit absent, just havent gotten back into minis properly for some reason :/ Fantastic that you lost a kg!! :D How comes you are coming to London?! :O whennn?? 10 miles dog walking- woah :D that probably helped shift that kg too! X

Yeah I SUCK at compliments, thank f*ck he said it online and not in person or I'd have shat myself LOL. I was talking to him today and mentioned something about how I'm sure I came across as loud and annoying at the picnic and he was like "all I saw was a hot girl talking in formulas about...

I have been on plan 100% except some drinkies at a picnic on Sunday (2 strongbows - 8 syns each, 1 glass of wine) but did have a coupla carb heavy green days- sts on Tues (since Thurs) need to get my head back in the game! :/ Red day today though :) two bbqs this weekend so might not be so easy...

Ohhh there was cake- G's parents bought me bday cake :D couldnt resist... M&S finest... Though the slab they gave me was huge! Following day (Fri) we went to Hyper Japan at Earls Court and I.ate some naughty Japanese goodies I'd been missing- Takoyaki!! Fried squid balls ;) quantity of naugties...

Just had my weekly WI and I'm down about 1.5lbs from last week. It said -2lbs (meaning taking off the pre-pf pound I gained on Mon and an extra pound) but the chart says I'm down to 14st2lbs so must be more like 1.5lbs... Really wish the wii showed fractions! Am slightly disappointed as I'd...

NoooOoOOOoooo :angel09:haha ;) Actually I haven't been that bad! Bday weekend so obviously was a bit off ;) wine and unlimited sushi restaurant, but my appetite was really odd from *week I think as I just wasn't that into food this weekend :S so weird! Anyway, did a mid week WI which showed a...

Challenged myself to learning how to do a handstand today and managed- wahey! I was never able to as a kid... But what felt more of an NSV was how I thought "While I'm at it, I wonder if I can still crab?" and it was so easy! Last time I tried to crab many years ago at my heaviest it was nearly...

Lol! I know! I was actually a bit jealous that my bf had the runs on hol because he was losing weight while I was gaining :P SO SAD!!! hahaha

Just taught myself how to handstand :D never was able to as a kid- I could cartwheel but never hand stand. I used this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OjREMj0zuN0 but actually his technique of starting with hands on the floor and then kicking legs up was way harder than using some...

Rochelle- how comes you've been so quiet on your own diary? Hope you're doing OK? x

I'm not AS phobic of mouth injections weirdly- it's in the skin that freaks me out. I was pretty good during the first one- just sort of panicked breathing and clenched fists- but by the 2nd I was crying and by the third I was having a small panic attack :( especially as because the 2nd hadn't...

Am I the only one that's going to mention that this should kick your mini plateau in the butt and give you a nice loss? LOL ;) Can imagine it feels like cr*p though so hope you're feeling better soon!! x

Sounds like a lovely night! And holy crap- those pancakes sound divine :O the other day I really fancied something like that and ended up slicing a banana and smearing PB and honey on it- was amazing actually! Think I used about 2 tbsp of PB so like 9 syns or something, but it TOTALLY killed...

Holy crap- congratulations!!! Are you excited or has this come at a bit of a surprise? I'm excited for you!! :D xxx

Hey! Yeah, I'm so over the gain guilt now that half has already vanished! *relief* I've been a bit relaxed about Hex's so not like I've been super strict either, can tighten the reigns again later (I mean... Proper hex amounts :P no more obsessing! *coughyeahright*) Yesterday had an EE day-...

Still partying? ;) come baaaack! x

After gaining a stone while travelling for 3 months and feeling really fat and disappointed with myself on return, I'm pleased to say I got STRAIGHT back on plan from the first day back and have already lost half of the gain in the first week! Damn I missed Slimming World while away! Nothing...

Must be so chuffed that you don't have cw to do!! :D Man- that sucks that you always spring back up to 77kg... But maybe it's a good weight for you? How do you feel at 77kg? You look great in your pics :) size 12! I'm the same as you with spicy- I luuurve jalapeños and Mexican spicy but don't...

Ouch- what a nasty recoil after some nice food!! I had another friend on here who started reacting really badly to treats and stuff :( sucks! I know how sh*tty and demotivating it is to have some STS weeks but usually the body is just going through some weird cycle (you did have that crazy big...

Hey guys! I've had a miracle weigh in today :D I was dreading it as I'm due on any minute, but another 3lbs of my gain off!! So TECHNICALLY that's 7lbs off since Thursday :eek: AWESOME. I'm so relieved! Just 7lbs of gain left to blitz... Though I doubt it'll be quite as easy as this week's was...

Chewie's doing great Cant get over how damn purty he is :D he has lost his pudgy kitten look and is all slemder and silky with such beautiful markings! I'm not sure if we'll get another one... I'm always so paranoid they'll get out as we live a floor up on a main road with no garden and lost...

Great that you got to treat yourself to some new clothes :) that moose place sounds sooo yummy :eek: as does the m&s veg lasagne :O so low syn... Will look out for that! My grandma bought me some sachets of 20cal slim noodle/pasta thingies- she said they're quite nice if made right and v...

Hey Rochelle! Yeah, trying to think like that- I'd have had more regrets if I'd spent the trip stressing about food. On plan today at family get together :) had some cream from cake given to me but avoided the cake itsself ;) a few dorritos dipped in hummus but all within syns. Was STATVING on...

Another on plan red day :) feeling good about that. Have been really enjoying home made comfort food! Have missed my own cooking weirdly :P RED: _______ B- apple + muller light L- home made turkey meatballs (hexB1 for wholemeal breadcrumbs + olive oil) with salad (+1 for salad cream light)...

P.S. HAPPY BIRTHDAY :D hope you have a fantastic day and eat/drink loads of syns because it's one of those few days in the year where you're totally allowed ;) x

Hey Charley! Wow- you're getting married in Barbados :D Awesome! I love Barbados!! I used to go there a lot as a kid as my dad's company is a Caribbean travel agency and so my grandma has a place out there in Rockley on the south coast... Such a great island!! Fantastic energy there and the...

Hey CT, I'm back! :D Congrats on getting into uni- and a first! WOW! :D Your life has come leaps and bounds into an exciting and prosperous place recently, hey!? All this weight loss and fitness, engagement and wedding plans and uni! Fantastic :) well deserved! x

Hey Sophie! Just back from travels and having a catch up- WOW! BABY :D congratulations!! How is the pregnancy going? How exciting :D X

Hey Summer, how are you doing? :) Just back from my trip so stopping by to see how everyone is! 3.5/4.5lbs off isnt bad at all- especially with treats! :D nice one. X

OMG! I'm so antsy about the gain that I couldnt help a sneaky WI this morn to see if any of the gain had gone down from flight's water retention- already 4lbs off in 2 days!! PHEW. Just shows what dehydration does to your weight! Havent even pooped since I've been back :rolleyes: Anyway, such a...

^Also, the saddest part is- in those two weeks where I ate the worst I was the most missing SW and wishing I could cook for myself and eat healthy! Arghukfhkjsdh how could it backfire so badly? haha

I saw on fb!! Congratulations :D:D fantastic!! You sound so happy :D Haha- G isn't trendy enough to go to Spitafield markets ;) he must have a double! _ Feeling CRAP today about my weight gain now - saw some pics in Japan where my face looked so much slimmer than it does now, and had a bit of...

Fantastic that you've submitted your final paper so early!! Does that mean this godforsaken course is nearly over!?! :O :eek: You left your snack at home and avoided cadbury's fingers!? YOU ARE MY HERO!! <3 x

Thanks Cheeky :D I'm clinging to the fact that some of it is water retention from the flight (I was REALLY dehydrated after it) Will def post pics on fb as I go through them- energy is so loooow though that I can't even face doing so yet :o x

3 months? I plan on losing it in 3 weeks! ;) hahaha... Just kidding! Though I do hope I have a crazy post-hol-back-on-plan loss like the -7 I got after Florida last year :rolleyes: shouldn't get my hopes up!! Today I've been SO HUNGRY all day! Breakfast (fruit and yoghurt) at 5am, lunch (potato...

I'm baaaack! And I've gained A STONE! Ahhh sh*t! I'm feeling TOTALLY pumped as for getting back on plan though :D I've been really looking forward to it! Call me a spoiled brat but I'm SO BORED of eating out for every meal! I'm 90% sure that if I were just off plan at home I'd not have gained...

Hi guys! Veeery quick post here as I'm rushing out the door... Travels have been insane, so hectic and tiring but awesome too... Last ten days now before I'm home! I REALLY miss SW and healthy eating/exercising :eek: never expected to quite this much! Currently I am eating whatever... I am...

Thanks for the messages guys :D hello Freakydarkstuff! Nice to have you here! Not ferling like the best hinspiration yhoigh, just had a massive crepe with ice cream and mango for breakfast- OMG, amazing! God knows what I've gained :P having a great time though! Yesterday was ALMOST an on plan...

Really sorry that you had to make that hard decision :( I just had been having a bit of a crying fit thinking about losing Little One and to read about Ralph's probable tumour and how you gave him his last day in the run made me tear up all over again... So sad :( but you're right- it's a much...

Hey guys! Have been so busy that I havent had the chance to look through all the photos yet even- have only posted a few phone ones as they are much easier to go through hehe! First week was really tough. I was KNACKERED from the Saudi shoot and we flew to Japan the next day, it was so non-stop...

Helloooo! Havent been able to.properly catch up but scanned through a bit! Glad you had so much fun with your friends :D is the tension from the situation before gone now? Just sending some quick lovin' but have to turn phone off now to take off to Saudi (yaaay....) lol :P LOVE YA x

Spartan race sounds crazy!! Will be harrrrd but sounds fun too :D good luck training for it! X

That Indian dish sounds so yummy! Owowow @ the ankle!!! Hope it mends soooon x

Hey love! Your diary is so full of positive energy :D inspiring! I totally agree that classes (or wii games in my case hehe) are way more fun than machines! So impressed at your motivation :) Weighing in bi monthly sounds great too- I think I'll follow in your footsteps there when I'm back as I...

Sorry your period has been so rough- I hope the pill makes mine easier, just starting (had some awful pill experiemces before because of my pcos but so far so good!) How exciting that you are looking to try for a baby :D!! That gain def sounds like water retention, I always get that during...

Yeah, surprise losses are awesome!! It really couldnt have come at a better time either; I had in mind that I was looking at an extra 4lbs UP and that I'd be nearly a stone out of ideal- I had been half arsed with plan this week thinking there wasnt much point being strict and getting back into...

Yeah def want to get some shopping in in Hong kong and Bangkok! Just begrudgingly weighed in- I was AWFUL in Bahrain and am a snotty mess so really expected a huge gain- but I lost 4lbs!!! I am now just 3lbs up from my lightest again :D 13st 9 (13st 6 is 'ideal BMI' territory) PHEW!! I was...

Indeed the downside of weight loss- though while chucking old stuff I now realise how awful what I wore was! I just went for whatever fit and didn't show off rolls... Some really ugly stuff! I've definitely become waaay more fussy with clothes :P Sadly Primarni only stock really cheap nylon/poly...

Thanks all!! I really got the travel bug re-vamped in Bahrain while exploring the traditional souq there- SO different to the glossy Dubai ones! It was really grimey but the vibe was SO friendly- everyone was happy to chat/be photographed/have their produce photographed and it didnt feel at all...

Bahrain was fantastic! The shoot was a mixed wedding (much more fun than female only!) and I really bonded with the bride while we filmed her getting ready- she was so much fun! We did the couple shoot inside this fancy vintage car they had in the venue for people to take pictures with :D she...

Tasha- I really dont haha! I just freelance for this company that do shoots in the middle east- just filmimg really boring arabic weddings to be honest :P Cheeky- Saudi visa takes 48hrs, China visa takes 3 days (when paying for express visa!) and I am only back for 4 - would take 5 days for...

Thanks everyone! Hi Tasha :D! Quick post- am en royte to airport for a shoot in Bahrain. Weighed in thid morning and a bloody 3lb gain!!! Ffs! I have been doing EE/green this week and I can tell I'm overdoing the carbs :/ I feel heavier! I am now half a stone up :( Work trip wont help for...

Bond villain hahaha! His hair looked so awful slicked back for the 50's theme :P not a good look on his hair line! He just had it cut a bit too short for my liking but it'll be a good length in a few weeks hopefully.

Hey love! Only just clocked on to your username change lol! I am totally paranoid about people finding me on here too, but I am mainly just careful with linking stuff that might come up when my name/email/fb etc is googled. Re: wanting a baby- I absolutely love kids and have always had babies...

I can imahine it being exciting to try something new- I've been considering CC too but I think I'd get overwhelmed :o it is really nice on 5:2 days having non SW stuff though! Man, I've been awful at keeping up with diaries too- gets harder as you follow more people on here doesnt it?! X

Man I totally feel you on how f*cking frustrating weight loss is at the mo! Even that week I did alternate day fasting I got a bloody sts! I swear I dont go that crazy on the non fast days either, but the extra syns and hex's seem to add up... :( Really doesnt seem fair as I swear I'm not eating...

Thanks guys! It really has helped me untwist my knickers lol! Speaking of which- my knickers actually fell down while dancing LOL! I still sometimes wear knickers from when I was at my biggest :o embarassing NSV! No-one saw though :P phew! Everyone had an awesome time at the party- my dad knows...

Thanks guys :D I had a really, really great time and dressing up felt awesome! It's just what I needed to straighten my head out about my weight loss stuff- I feel SO much better now :) MAN I got wasted :P I had god knows how many glasses of wine (got there at 7pm, left at 3am!) and as 'daughter...

Work sounds so bloody stressful :( you poor thing! I'm not surprised you feel broken! That dog sounds so scary and thr cat bite stuff- ahh! But WTF is your boss on?! She sounds like the leat empathetic person ever :S I thought people who go into animal care were usually quite loving people? She...

S+s chicken is my fave! Syns arent too awful for it! Just watch not overdoing free food on syn free day, great to cut out the 300cal of syns but having 3 extra yoghurts to fill the need does the same sorta damage really. You know all that though since you're so calorie savvy! ;) good luck with...

Thanks Wii! How are you doing?? Great that you're back!! X

Think all pills take a few mo ths to really adjust to... I have such awful periods that if this means I can bypass one or two while travelling then bring it on! Also might help sort out my pcos :fingerscrossed: ! Tummy aches like mad right now!! :( think I have come to the conclusion that my...

Llama - I haven't really figured out what my target is, the current one set is just what I originally put as a guess (a couple of pounds lower than 'ideal BMI') but now I know that I'd like at least another stone off. I am still wearing size 16 jeans after all :o I'd like to be much nearer the...

Sounds like you're doing great with your food! Do you find cou ting the calories a real bore though? When I do 5:2 days it does my head in counting balsamic vinegar in cooking and splenda and stuff, but all those small calories always added up! Puts me off trying to count calories generally!

Thanks guys. Llama- I know we fluctuate and if I were maintaining I'd be fine right now, but I reeeeally wanted to be 15lbs+ lighter than I currently am for travels, I've pushed myself all year with travels at the deadline :/ but anyway, time to get over that! Decided to do a nice green day...

Thanks everyone! You are all (ALL of you) completely right! But even though I have this stuff in the back of my mind I'm constantly over thinking it all... The problem right now is very much short term, but if I let myself go wild over the weekend planning to be good next week- well... I can't...

Hey MrsGinger, you are totally right and I do need to go back to sw basics but I've become so complacent of it :( also being away for shoots where my food control is crap I was hoping fasting could be a way I can balance the bad time away in a shorter time, but I think in the process I've lost...

Well done girl! Good to hear minis is helping you keep on track. I need some of your motivation please! X

Feeling really down about my recent gains now- I just checked my wii graph and I was this weight a month ago :'( ffs. In fact, 16th of Jan I was down to 13st8! I have only lost 4lbs this year :'( I knew it had gotten harder but I didnt realise my progress had been THAT bad. Argh!! I need to get...

WI this same was thr same as yest (obvs) so 13st9lbs and still 3lbs above my lowest. Period weight should be gone by now, I need to.analyze things a bit as this should be my best loss time... G was like "but you are doing fast days :S" but I think the problem is on non fast days I'm not.having...

Haha Summer- I def prefer to be behind the camera but G is always snapping anyway! Thanks for all the encouragement guys! I had a sneaky WI a day early and the +2 is off but was hoping more of the gain would be off too, oh well... Still *week and tomorrow is official mid week WI so more...

The size 10 fits much better! Definitely a fluke ;) I do like the blue too! WI sucked though, expected it to being just 24hrs into my period. +2! So +4 in total this past week FFS! Thurs better be good! I did a 100% fast yesterday! Intended on having my 600 (5:2) calories in the evening but...

Congrats on the loss again, nice :D quieche didnt change things then! ;) Bit late but I can totally relate to all the earlier posts about weight... I weighed my age through my teens, I dont remember ever being not fat and I never ever shopped for smaller than a 16 (that was when I was 14!) so I...

I tell you what- I've been way worse than you today and dont feel half as guilty LOL. I always have a cheeky bit of birthday cake, forgetting hoe bloody synful it is :P I never even enjoy it much! Today I had jt just am hour after my rocky road sundae at dessert- and two glasses of wine! Crap...

I think the seedy reputation of Thailand is just Bangkok really which is of massive contrast to the rest of the country. Flights within Thailand are so cheap that you can visit multiple places too. Phuket looks amazing, lots of adventure, wildlife and beauty there! But we'll be going at a bad...

Hey guys, Dress was actually TOO BIG! OMG. Can you believe it!? The back was slipping a bit and it didn't pinch at the waist so I ordered a 10 :eek: they had no red size 10's so I ordered an electric blue which was nearly my first choice anyway- with the elastic on the 12 i could easily stretch...

Fantastic news on the loss!! :D adda girl! Wow @ all the gym! What exercises do you tend to do at the gym? Bet your measurements are tightening up from that too!! Ahhh I am going to have to make good menu choices too- sucks! Too many outings and will have to wath everyone eat crap while I have...

OMG coco pops on a fast day- you bloody genius :D and practically the same cal as puffed wheat- crazy! Though puffed wheat really fills your bowl as it is so light... But nothing on the yum of coco pops!! Relieved to hear the car is fixed. Good luck with your HIV doc appointment :P x
