Good Morning ladies!
My start weight is now 10st 8 if you could add that on please MsJMC
It's lovely to see such a lot of activity on here - welcome newbies!! It was such a great support when we all started, let's get it going again.
MsJMC - yup I went swimming Tuesday night, it was great. I felt so good for doing some exercise - I did 34 lengths which is half a mile at that pool...quite an achievement considering I haven't swam for about 8 years!
I had a crappy day yesterday though, was completely off the diet but it was very difficult - I had to go to London for a training day, left the house at 5am, got home at 9.30pm! I was exhausted!! Got a nice porridge at the station for breakfast which was fine but then had lunch provided and it was all totally un-diet friendly food (not a lettuce leaf in sight!) and then we all went to cafe rouge at euston for dinner so I had a baguette there - I must have eaten double my points.
I'll write it off as a bad day & try & forget about it but am abit annoyed coz it's like you break your diet because you're in a situation that you can't control.
Back on plan today but expecting a gain at my weigh in tomorrow :-( x x

At the moment i'm reading 100 days of weight Loss .
its got about the scales your love hate relationship with them , i must say i daily go on them which its not doing me any good as in the start of the diet i tend to be smiles as the weight drops off then become to hate them its starts to set me back as i'm not seeing results , after all its just a number but it makes a big impact on my diet , so is it wise to get rid . i mean ban them from the house , i'm confused.com lol
how do you all feel about the scales ?

I felt horrible after what I ate yesterday, bloated and sick and rubbish! Just shows that if you put the right fuel into your body you definitely feel better. I feel really fed up today but I'm sure that it's because I'm tired and had such a bad day yesterday with my diet.
Yeah I was proud of the swimming, I want to do more but just still don't feel confident going alone so I'll have to just go when my mate can go with me. I felt so good after it.
I think my goal is to be 9stone 7 by christmas. I'm not going to beat myself up if I don't hit it but I'd like to be somewhere close to that by Christmas morning!
It's a difficult choice on what diet to do MsJMC, I can understand your dilemma. I think you need to choose one that you know you can stick to for the long term (like ww for me) vlcd obv work but they're so hard to stick to for very long that you get into a cycle of starting the diet and then breaking it which is just horrid because you always feel that you're failing.
Have you got any further with your decision on what to do yet?
The scales is an interesting one...I get on them almost every day and for me they help, I know that my weight fluctuates throughout the week and I don't get too down about it. I find it interesting to see that I weigh more depending on what I've eaten the day before etc. I think for me I've avoided the scales for so long (hence why I put weight on) that now it's good for me to get on them each morning and not be scared of them. It's whether you can be objective about it rather than being upset if they're not going down daily. They will go down eventually if you're sticking to a diet!
Hope that helps? x x

Hi Girls!! I'm back, sorry about that, fell of the wagon slightly!! will weigh in in the morning to see exactly how much damage I have done. Have decided to do Exante TS until I go on holiday in august, I seemed to do so much better when I didn't eat any proper food. Eating a little bit seems to make me want more. I'm going to start in the morning, I've got just under 7 weeks til we go away, 43 days in fact, as of tomorrow. It'll fly by, I know I can do it!! not looking forward to getting back into ketosis, although it wasn't actually that bad last time, I think the idea of it is worse.
In answer to your question Jackie what lifts my mood, just watched an idiot abroad for the first time and it was really funny, Michael McIntyre is the best, loved him on Britain's got talent and the Hoff, also love love love, Eddie Izzard, seen him live a couple of times, he's a genius. But of course losing weight lifts my mood the most, I must remember this the next time I feel the urge to gorge on something!!
Goodnight all, will update my weight in the morning,

Hi all!
I've still not looked at that WW cd, haven't had the time bit tomorrow my fella is at work all day so I'm going to go through it then. I hope I can find the CD tomorrow now! haha.
I've not been bad with food this week but not counted or followed a particular diet... Oops.
Hope everyone is doing ok

Hello ladies
Hope everyone's weeks are going well? I'm on a sts this week but am not too bothered about it, ive been swimming twice and am going again tomorrow so that's really good, nice to feel I'm doing some exercise!
Sarah & Jackie, how are your vlcd's going? I'm so increased that you're following them, I would love to do it even just for a couple of weeks to give my weight loss a boost but I know I'd never stick it. Well done both of you!
Hclaire - any luck looking at ww disc yet? My mum has started on it today after seeing how much I've lost on it so fingers crossed she'll do well too!
Have had a horrible sticky day here today, it's needed to rain and hasn't so it's very uncomfortable. Hope it's been better where ever you all are!
