Ah that is a lovely pic - u look v happy! Hoping ur dog gets better soon - poor little thing.

Awww thank you, that's sweet. I'm feeling in a pretty good place at the minute (although we all know I can be up and down lime a yoyo, but I'm embracing it while I can lol). Hope my pup feels better too, we are both sprawled on the sofa feeling sorry for ourselves lol

Expected a huge gain as midweek peek showed 3.4lb gain. Somehow got rid of it all and lost another 0.2lb on top!

Well done - that's really good! Isn't it odd how our weight fluctuates - guess that's why "they" tell us to weigh only once a week!

Right ladies ... I'm just totally skipping WI tmrw! With Darcey's birthday today I've eaten like a , well like a kid at a birthday party lol !! I'm actually considering going back to SW this week for a wee shake up. Can't find my book though - will need to remind myself of the basic guidelines and I should be okay. I'm not able to get to a class. Did it before and did well until it just stopped working.....but...... Sometimes a change just works ! Xxx

I think you had a good excuse for enjoying some nice food! I refuse to miss out on special occasions or trips away anymore, I remember a few years ago me and my other half went to portstewart which is a lovely wee seaside town over here, and we should have been enjoying ice cream and fish and chips, but no, we sat with bowls of all bran and strawberrys! I was too obsessive over things, and now I'm just feeling like life is too short to not enjoy special days, so I relax myself a little bit. Shaking things up a bit might be just what you need though

I found food diaries I had written from four years ago and depressed myself when I saw that I'm pretty Much the same weight now as I was then, which would be fab if I was just trying to maintain,but it's a bit depressing when I think that had I just stuck to it, I could be maintaining goal weight by this point, arrrghhh lol

Great advice - and bet lots of us on here have been at this 'game' for a long time (me defo!) but at least we're carrying on or we cd be dealing with a lot more weight issues eh? Have a good week!

I agree! It's sad that so many people have these issues and have struggled for so many years. It's been around ten for me, but I know it's been longer for others. Silly thing is, before I started weightwatchers the very first time, whilst I was overweight, I had no body image issues at all-I wasn't overly confident but at the same time I had no problems with how I looked, it's only since I've been dieting, and actually lost weight that I see all the issues,i guess that's because you spend more time focusing on your body when you diet, so you notice little things more.

I would *love* 2014 to be the year I finally get to goal, and I feel like with the lovely support on here it isn't a completely unrealistic achievement, so fingers crossed!
