Arse. Put on 1lb. (TOTM.) Doesnae count unless its still there next fri!!! Have a great weekend everyone xx

Diet has been completely hit n miss since I started my new job- ricocheting from being too stressed oot to eat from eating pizza n ice cream at the weekend (yes I know I cancelled that plan but who was I kidding really???) ... anyway it ll calm down- I'll just cling on by my fingernails till then!

I'm with lisa-lisa. If you can carry on doing it when its not delivering the results it should, there's not much you can't do x

well its friday (thank goodness!!) and i have done my first WI in my new Boots- moved job so had to move official WI locations. And miracle of miracles, i lost 1lb!! I dont care if its the adjustment of the scales or whatever (and i know it cant be real since i was completely off the wagon for...

hiya, maybe this entirely defeats the purpose of being on a particular plan- but would there be any point in whacking your daily food into an App to see the calories, fat, etc etc breakdown? it might reveal something?

and today.... snow! tomorrow- fire? friday- plague of locusts? looks like Mr Feetface will be ok- thanks peeps!

Och!!!!!!!! Nae denying, I'd be gutted too. But. You are convinced that you've done all you can and I for one, believe you and applaud you for it!!!! Everybody... whoop wooop!!

New job is with ofgem in the licensing team, dont know much about what it will entail yet, it's a whole new world! Mr feetface also took yesterday/today as an opportunity to get himself hospitalised with rhabdomyolysis from training too hard. . He s gonna be ok but its been a long week-eh what...

Good luck! !

Here's me tatt. I already had the words "all that is gold does not glitter" (quote from the Lord of the rings) and I got the stars around it on Friday. It was a bit cool cause another 3 of the girls got inked too... bit of a impromptu group session! As for diets I was completely rubbish. ...

Left work today n got tattoo'd on a whim... off to the pub with the girls. No weigh in. Oops!

Don't know what to think about the following: Haven't "thought" about food all week. .. have grabbed food, eaten food, gone . .. erm still hungry and eaten again. But I haven't been having the same "on a diet" "what will I eat, when will I eat, is it nice, when I will I next eat, what's this...

Oooft football talk!

Woop woop mich... I'd take a lb any day of the week!!!

Am having the most manic week possible! Leaving work on Friday but had (another) job interview today with my current employer- mental!! Don't think it went very well though. Anyway i haven't recorded any of my food cause I ve been all over the place... so if I weigh in on Friday I doubt it will...

thanks folks!! celebrated my victory with far too much wine (i'm 30- you think i'd learn:confused:)... so today will be quietly spent in the house with my wee kitty Cleo who got neutered yesterday and is about as dopey as me.

how you doin spalmon?

My last WI- 1lb off. Haven't met my target but i'm happy anyway- went into the 12's- which I can't remember doing any time before. If I have to do this 1lb at a time (which it seems that i do), then so be it. Well done everyone- brilliant results all round!

we sound so similar michelle, i suffer from anxiety too- not quite panic attacks- but it can get pretty bad. well done on your booze free month, i failed miserably on that front!! in fact i'm currently a bit hungover so i'm stuck in the house cleaning and tidying too!!... totally sucks but i'm...

Aaaawww smurfette! Hope u get better soon xx

YES yes yes yes yes! !!!!!!!!!!!!!! I've done it!!!!!!!!!! 12st 13lbs. The (sugar free) milky bars are on me. Cannot believe it. I weighed in yesterday (Boots) and was 13st 2lbs.... and I thought hhhmm I reckon a pound is real and a pound is TOTM related. Managed to keep calm and decided to...

oh aye... and another thing. made an appointment for my first wedding dress fitting: sat 9th march. currently dress is a wee bit big in the bodice- cant remember if i've already posted about this, so here's a wee story: hunted and hunted and hunted (both online and in real life) for a wedding...

ah... i was gonna start waving bacon sandwiches under my laptop's nose (?!)

hiya smurfette- everybody round me has got the virus/flu/chest thing you're describing- hope you're doin ok xxx

ok, i'm nearer to making a decision about weighing in- i've managed to move (one of the many) leaving-work-lunches from tomorrow to friday, so thats another check in the "get weighed in ya big fearty" box!

now i'm confused- is this a thread full of vegetarians or is it something to do with your diets?

Thanks peeps! Watch this space

Well done Michelle. .. way to represent!!!

Yeah rg; I'm probably up at those numbers too. But its over now. At least I didn't succumb to Domino's and ben n jerry s!! It was a near miss though. Back on the wagon today- havent decided if I'm gonna weigh in on Friday or not- I'd welcome thoughts. No chance of a loss but should I avoid or not??

Thanks for all the support. Rubbish weekend- hormones, too much booze, too much food, never enough money! Redoubled efforts from tomorrow morning- much stricter on calories till friday.

TOTM. Knew it. Quite glad actually, thought it would be closer to weigh in day

Oooohhh... well lets just say that you're in essex n I'm in Scotland and if your prediction comes true you wont need minimins to hear about it!

Looks bloody great! Really in the mood for yummy comfort food.

Another 1lb for me please, not happening as fast as I would like but its still comin off.

Good advice, really gonna try. As long as I know I ve done my best I ll be fine. What is it they say? I am not responsible for my results, only my efforts. Well that s me this week x

yep.... 1 x 34 would be a dream come true michelle! i just feel like i need to see that 12 and then there will be no looking back... i've seen 13st 0lbs maybe 4 times (and always went backwards to at least 14st) but i cant remember the last time i saw a 12. but you're right everybody- what am...

Weighed in today (day early cause I'll be away from my usual Boots tomorrow) 1lb off. I know I should be happy and I am but thats me 13 st dead. Want to see 12!!!!!!!!! Please!

okey dokey, today's mental reminder (as thought up while bored poopless on x-trainer) hypothetical results; week 1: -4, 2: -3, 3: -1 4: -1 5: 0 6: 0.... get scunnered and give up. total: 9 week 1: -1, 2:-1, 3:-1, 4:-1, 5:-1, 6:-1, 7:-1, 8:-1, 9:-1, 10:-1, 11: -1...... well you get the point! a...

i always find painting my nails helpful... you have to sit still till it dries so you cant rummage in the fridge!!

lol!!!! yep: nothing surer to cut a workout short than the old full-lengther!! aye, i feel like the way i eat will just be the way i eat forever- i'll just let go on the booze a little and have another snack or dessert. if you decide to change at any point, just give me a shout. right i'm off...

i'm smug: i did my gymming at lunch time!- so much easier, me and my colleague just go together. my diet doesn't really have a name, its a mongrel: it started with atkins and then moved towards paleo (which is short for paleolithic- meaning the caveman diet, if a caveman couldnt have got their...

Only had drinks on saturday... but I decided to have vodka instead of wine to minimise the carbs- not a good idea. Gave me a hangover and had more calories than the wine would have. Hhhmmmmfff! It sounds like my diet is the opposite of yours- I never bloat apart from totm and our logic is that...

Jeezo... pasta is free??? To me it's the devil- I dont really get the logic there. Plus pasta is so moreish (to me at least) that I can eat a large portion and then be poking around in the pot 20 mins later.

hi michelle, found you at last! had a quick read of your diary, just wondering if any of the "free" foods you mention could be doin you any harm that you dont realise? (i dont really know anything about syns etc) i eat low carb but dont go in for the full atkins feel-free-to-eat-five-fry-ups...

Agreed, these tips are a bit random

Well done!! Empowered for the week ahead.

You're doin massively well for being stuck in the house- I'd probably have eaten the furniture by now.

good luck to you too michelle- btw, i cant find your diary, any clues?

yep saturday passed in a flurry of shopping, food and vodka. too many calories again (3500) but only 1 day of the week- not 2. clawed it back on sunday- Mr Feetface dragged me outside in the snow to workout in the garden. must have given the neighbours a right laugh!!! but i'm sore all over...

No booze last night! Went to see les mis at the cinema, I'm a massive fan and cried all the way through it, with the result that I didn't eat my chocolate either. Best film I've ever seen and apparently good for weight loss! Mind you, i Iook dreadful this morning with all the crying. Had a...

Hi stef2009. Low carb/atkins and a bit of light gymming for me. thats really cool- we can be pound for pound buddies... what day do u weigh in on?

don't give in Rg! you totally kept it together when the scales didn't move- and looked into the potential reasons, changing your exercise routine and everything.... world champion sanity there!!!

hi brides! i'm here too- just a bit slow on the up-take that there was a brides-to-be section! (started my own diary in another bit a couple of weeks ago "wedding year, its now or...er..now") getting married in September and have 34lbs to lose. Low carb and gym for me.6lbs down so far for...

Can I have an update please? 1lb off x

Ok, it transpires that I only have a calorie defecit of 943 for the week (not inc metabolic advantage from ketosis)... so I'm gonna take my 1lb and run! Wish my counter app thing would do weekly summaries instead of just monthly but I dont want to change it.. maybe it ll be good for me to...

Weighed in this morning. 1lb off. Musings on this: initially felt that I deserved more but the remembered the booze at the weekend. Hhhmmm need to check my counter-upper thing... back soon

spiky glitterball!!! lols!! but thanks- i think that will help x

now i just feel bored. i have worked out that i have 34 weeks till my wedding. i only have to lose 1 lb a week to be (near enough) at my goal weight. 1 lb!! nothing drastic needed then... slow and steady... a pound a week, a pound a week, a pound a week. must stay sane! i've got plenty of...

Feel quite light today.... danger!!!

You're heading in the right direction, keep it up. None of us are doing this in an ideal world... things like drinks and lunches are going to happen. All we can do is manage them when they do; I think you did really well x

Thanks peeps! Back to being the model dieter... what a difference a day makes eh? Stuck to my food like glue, quick half hour at the gym at lunchtime and badminton tonight. Although I should confess.... my fiance (lets call him The Carbinater ) more or less makes all my meals so its much...

keep it up, you've having great results!

5lbs for me :)

ok failed on 2 fronts. weighed self and drank alcohol! it all started in the gym, i saw all the other women jumping on the scales and there was much deliberating over whether or not they were right... i started helping out by putting 20kg weights on the scales one at a time to see if they were...

Brilliant smurfette! !! Well done, so happy for you xx

Malamobile I think we share a brain! I went down the yummy soft drinks route last Friday. .. sugar free ginger beer, ribena, lime juice... to make me and the OH soft cocktails. Then I promptly got bullied by my mum into a real cocktail- I honestly did resist for a bit- and then, oh look at...

Sorry rawrgirl, was talkin about atkins flu at the same time as the exercise thing. No wonder I confused ya! I did a fast this morning and for the first time ever, I havent overeaten yet because of it...yay! ! No gym today because I didnt have breakfast. Saw this idea on another post and it...

thanks folks! malamobile- i'm secretly aiming for no booze for all of january but i'm only working on this first weekend for now- i am not ruling out just clubbing myself over the head at about 7pm on friday night when i get in from work... my logic is if you're unconscious, you're not quaffing...

hooray- first proper day back at work over and done! was in a rush this morning- that 10mins extra in bed is a killer- so forgot my lunch (lovely mum-homemade-soup) but didnt go to pieces, just got some eggs at the shop. also went to the gym at lunch: 300 cals on the x-trainer. nice and...

great loss! well done!!! as long as both sets of scales go in the right direction, its all good. i know what you mean about feelin pressure when u don't weigh in- but at the moment i feel like i deserve a bit of panic for all the festive face stuffing i did. i am NOT weighing in till end jan...

that's one of my issues too- its all hunky-dorey while i'm organised and then bang!!... impromptu craving for rubbish and all that's in the cupboard is stock cubes and rice. typical. distraction can help- have a bath? paint your nails? good luck :bighug:

good start! and right on: slow and steady wins this race

more blinkin wine last night! doh!! had waaaay too many calories yesterday:sigh:.... but i still logged it in my app thing, so at least i'm sticking to that bit of the plan. next weekend will the toughy: no drinkiepoos allowed! i'm back to work properly tomorrow and have finally gotten over my...

Keep the faith! There's nowt better than cream of tomato soup and broccoli for the deadly cramps. X

Thanks guys! Your support really helps and I'm going to think about a reward I really want... really want! This is my first weekend- dont know if everybody is like me and struggles most at weekends- I have had some wine but I haven't fallen into extra munching! I count this as a victory. And...

ok where am i? i feel a bit funny starting this diary without actually having weighed myself but i think the fear of whatever i might have gained at xmas is motivating me better than the psuedo-depression i would feel if i actually knew how much it was. so, i'm giving the festive season a 7 lb...

hi spalmon and good luck... stick at it!

Target for January Challenge is 14lbs

hiya, good luck! lets do this thing.:character00115:

here's a bit of background about me, it might help explain any future rants/meltdowns in the future. i already lost a fair bit of weight- i started at 18.5st and lost about 5st. this was around 2009 and 2010. i did it by major calorie restriction and hit n miss exercise. since then, i've...

It's 2nd January and by the end of September, I 'll be married to my lovely man- that much I know. The question is will I spend the big day holding my breath due to camera paranoia or will I be at a weight where that's not the big black storm cloud of doom? And it's a good question. So, here...

I''ll go for 14lbs
