No loss this week... but no gain either. How's everyone else doing?

I may be a year or two out, but I think it was 1978 the last time I got letched at from a building site, and 1981 that anyone other than my husband said 'Hiya sexy!':o

Best of luck, whatever works for you stick to it!

Thanks! Nice to be back. I've lost the 2lb gain and also another 3lbs so it's nice to be back on the wagon.

Back in the land of the living and feel as if I have lost a bit more... should have done! Dreadfully hot here so have been having a good deal of milk rather than eating. I've made myself a milk jelly for later and also some banana icecream. (I froze the banana last night) Weigh in tomorrow

I'm not ignoring you everyone, I'm down with a tummy bug. I know every brush stroke on the back of the loo door and I have spent so much time in there I'm thinking of sending out change of address cards. If I don't lose the 2lb gain and some then I'm a dutchman! For obvious reasons I have to...

2 POUNDS GAIN! So what? It's actually 1 and 3/4 and |I rounded it up.If that was all I'd lost I'd feel it wasn't very much. Back on the straight and narrow and will weigh again next Sunday.

Well, I shan't be weighing for, at the very least, a week! I won't tell you all I had to eat, so let's just say I have had my calorie intake, up to and including, twelve months next swan upping! Am I guilty? NO WAY! If I shut myself away and diet, diet, diet; of course I'll lose weight quickly'...

We are going out to dinner with old friends on Thursday evening. No way will I sit there like the ghost of Christmas past nibbling a bit of tired lettuce while they all roll up their sleeves and get stuck in. So this is one of the 'allowed to be a bit naughty' weeks.

Another pound off this week... slow but sure!

I found out today that our council, along with many others across the UK, is selling off our personal details to these blinking spam and junk mail firms. It was only at the end of last year, I found out just how much the councillors get in expenses... more than many people earn by doing an...

I haven't been a size 12 since 1975!!!!

Keeping everything crossed for you Barb. You'll get it off never fear. Look, if you aim for 1lb a week that's 10lbs off by the time for the cruise and if you get 2lbs off that's nearly 2 stones! Just chill out and take it a day at a time. Don't give up and don't panic, there's oodles of time yet.

Oh Barb I love Alaska. Many moons and several stones ago I used to work in the arctic circle. It was a wonderful life I can tell you. I do envy you, Alaska is beautiful and the people are great, ever so friendly

A loss is better than a gain isn't it? I read that article too... quite made my day it did

Sounds like you are doing just great.

Do you know, if it wasn't for reading posts on this forum I would have dropped off in week one. Some of these diaries are wonderful, full of laughs and tips and isn't it great to read something and think I've done/feltlike that? and then read on and see how the person has coped with the problem

I’ve made myself a pork casserole for tea. I got some cubed lean pork in Sainsbury’s, a couple of economy peppers, and cooked them in the pressure cooker with an onion and a handful of mixed veg out of the freezer. I used the liquid to mix with some low fat gravy granules to make a thin gravy...

Ah Barb... how dull life would be without the odd cheat along the way! Enjoy it, make it worthwhile, then back on the diet straight and narrow. How many people do you know, who have lost huge amounts of weight but didn't have any fun doing it? Bet they put it all back on again. I'm keeping...

Is that your little dog Barb? Gorgeous! We have a lab at the moment but have had everything from a Yorkie to an Old English, and something, God knows what was in him altogether, you had to offer a biscuit to to see which end was facing you. Thanks for the compliment Blue grapefruit! I can't...

Blimey! If I looked as good as that you'd have one very happy bunny over here where I am! The very best of luck to you, I think you'll do it easily you sound really determined.

Amazing! Congratulations to you. A whole new wardrobe coming on methinks?

5lbs off!!!! I know most of it is water weight, but I’m still over the moon because I was looking for about that this month and to do it in a week has really made my day, because I haven’t exactly starved myself have I? Yesterday the family had a ‘naughty’ tea… a fry up. I joined in and...

Hello everyone and thanks for the encouragement... Hope I don't let you down on Sunday morning when I weigh. Yesterday the family had chips so I had some too. Though mighty funny chips they looked I can tell you. I baked a potato and when it was cool cut it into chip shapes(more or less)...

4 days in and still going strong. I'm trying not to think of this as a diet, more of a new way of life and so far, early days I know, but it seems to be working.

Thank you ever so much for the welcome, I feel proper at home here. Well, bear in mind that this week is only an experiment, and I’m only hoping to lose a pound… and could quite easily gain a pound! So don’t let me influence you! This is today’s menu: Breakfast: banana smoothie made with...

I am an expert dieter! I’ve been dieting for over 40 years, and can lose weight really quickly, but keeping it off is the problem. Low Carb diets are the worst for me, the weight drops off, 5 stones in 9 months, but as soon as I started eating again 4 of them piled back on in a year. The only...
