Welcome back!

You can do it, one weigh in at a time, one day at a time, one meal at a time!

We're here for you

 

[kateyb]

thank you so much. you have no idea how much that means. its nice to feel part of a group of like minded people. x

:wavey: hello Katey of course you can come back

My advise

a) come on minimins daily - very supportive, helpful, tonnes of info and recipes
b) start a diary on here
c) meal plan (this is one of my downfalls I don't always do this)
d) if you have a bad moment, keep it to just that a moment, it was a blip draw a line straight away and carry on plan , not the next day, or the following week, draw the line immediately, don't beat yourself up or dwell on it
e) go through the recipe section and write/print out ones you are interested in and do a good sw shop
f) give yourself small doable goals that set you up to succeed.

As people keep reminding me 'the tortoise always wins' so even if its o.5lb or 1lb a week, its a loss

Welcome back and good luck Katey. I was in the same boat as you before, I kept coming, going, coming back, leaving....got to an annoying pattern but now Im back to stay. Make Minimins your homepage (let me know if you dont know how and I will tell you) This will encourage you to use it every day. I cannot stress how much it helps you through your journey. Talking to friends or family about your weight isn't the same as speaking to hundreds of people going through the same or similar thing.
You have us all to rely on When your feeling bad, write to us about it. When your feeling good, do the same. There will always be someone there to read it. You can do it x x x x This is it!

 

[kateyb]

hi, thanks for that. there are some really good tips there. will start a diary today. x and your so right. im not bothered how long it takes as long as its down and not up. x

 

[JackieN]

and as someone rightly pointed out to me yesterday, if I happen to fail as in not lose weight one week not to be disheartened just to be more determined the next its not a race its a lifestyle xxxxx

 

[kateyb]

[who_la_hoop]

[tallsarah]
