Clare!
Amazing - your sister's wedding will be a fab reason to maintain! And signing up for runs is a brilliant motivator. I've told pretty much everyone about my running so it will motivate me to continue to do it hopefully.
I daren't step into Subway! You did really well - I would have been much worse I'm sure. I've got a pack of oatcakes in my bag which I was going to eat, until I looked at the cal content on MFP. I've now shoved them to the back of my drawer! Not like I needed them, just wanted them.... I've noticed the cravings for stuff that have come back (cheese, chocolate, cake, anything bad basically) which I am fighting against on a daily basis at the moment...I miss the security of ketosis! All things that i'm going to have to face up to with real life and eating, so needing to get a handle on that now!

Morning ladies!
Flic - I know what you mean, we spent that long denying ourselves or everything nice and now we're both almost at target it feels like "well a little bit wont hurt me". MFP is working anyway!
Jen - no I get shoved to 1 side now I have 2 little girlies! My sister is asking them both to be flower girls and they will look much cuter than I will walking down the aisle!
First run planned tonight then hopefully DVDs and weights will arrive by the weekend. Not going mad at first, I'm planning on 30 mins every other day and then build on it from there. The DVDs at least give me something to do indoors when the weather is bad enough to be an excuse to not exercise at all!
Hope you all have a great day. Weigh in for me tonight
I was 9st7 this morning but I'm always 2-3lbs heavier in the evenings. Hopefully not too bad a gain and then hopefully a big push to get to my 9st5 target next Wednesday so I can get my 3 stone fridge magnet! My CDC gives out these cute hand made fridge magnets for each stone lost.

Ha - Jen - I have an image in my mind of us all on a pirate ship trying to fend of the dreadful octopus trying to tempt us with a selection of treats - one on each tentacle, and mermen sirens calling us from the rocks with scones and sausage rolls! Haha. We'll make it through - let's battle them together!

clare bet your wee girls with look gorg.
we are experiencing turbulance just now but it is all doable this is the time when diets lose their appeal and folk get pee d off. i ve been here before but im not giving in i want the 10.7 back and i will get it just not right now. to maintain that is really the hard part but on the plus side we re still here and thats a big plus point in our favour. so another day of dieting and the scales with grace us with their reduced figures, at some bloody point in the undermined future....

Morning Clare!
Well done on that WI - +1lb really isn't that bad, and I can see you making it to your target by next week for sure!
I've had to have a talking to this morning - just basically doing stupid things that aren't going to help me back down to where I was. All good and I'm hoping the scales are a bit kinder on Saturday than mine were this morning...

Hi ladies!
Haven't felt like posting recently, feel like I've let myself down but I'm pulling it back
After all my positiveness last week I had a bad Wed, Thur, Fri and Sat where I ate far too much. However I've been very good since so I hope to atone for my sins at my weigh in tonight. I ended up having just 2 shakes on Sunday, nothing else which wasn't my plan but circumstance, Monday I had 2 shakes and a 2-egg omelette and yesterday I had 2 shakes and smoked salmon salad so I'm feeling a touch virtuous! Sunday to yesterday I've been having around 600-700 calories a day which I'm happy with while I get back in the swing of eating properly.
Not been running yet (I know I know!) but I did do my Davina McCall DVD on Monday night and I paid for it yesterday and I couldn't even get my legs out of bed this morning - honestly thought I was going to have to ring in sick! I used to be mega fit and the DVD is split into 15 minute segments which seems like nothing. I did the first and felt okay so I carried on and did another (against OHs advice!!!), it damn near killed me! I then had a quick omelette and went for a swim for an hour. As well as the 2 5k runs I've signed up to I'm also doing a 1 mile sponsored swim on 28th Feb which I forgot I agreed to so thought I best had practice a bit!
Sister has had to change her wedding date and it's now only 16 weeks away! Been on with organising her hen do. I really want to tone up a bit before her wedding, I'll be seeing a lot of people I haven't seen since August last year so that should be interesting!
Weigh in tonight - I know I shouldn't but I had a sneaky peek at the scales this morning and 9st 5 1/2. First time I think I've been at target but I know i'll be a bit heavier tonight which I'm gutted about, really kicking myself for the weekends over indulgences but hey ho.
Got loads coming up social wise so I really need to stick to plan in between. Out Thur and Fri this week and I'm cooking my 3 of my new found recipes for OH on Saturday from the cookery class, all of which contain lots of naughty things. Nothing then until 28th Feb but loads and loads going on in March and April, then hol at end of April, relatively quiet May then Sister's wedding followed by cruise in June. Testing times ahead!
I'm going shopping for my dress for the wedding maybe at the end of this month and get it in my size now, so 8-10, and hopefully that will keep me on track a bit too. Plus I need to not put any weight on before the cruise as I have loads of gorg summer clothes (from 1st time I lost the weight pre second child!) again size 8-10 and I cannot afford to replace it all!
Hope you all have a great day

You're back! Put last week behind you and move on. I really struggled after a weekend completely off plan and came to the realisation that i'm never going to get there if I keep on cheating at the weekends! It sounds simple, but was a bit of a revelation for me, and since Monday, i've been behaving...until Thursday.
Sounds like you have some exciting things coming up - I think we just need to remind ourselves to stick to plan during the times that we can so that we enjoy the events.
Must be soooo exciting for your sister to be getting married - I organised my friend's hen party last year, and it can be quite stressful, but fun also and buying the dress is even more exciting (and a good reason to stick with it!)
Hope you have a fab WI later,

Oh Clare,
I know how you feel - this morning my scales were not behaving either. It's a constant battle and don't get too upset - it's still 1lb off and you're going in the right direction still.
Enjoy your socialising, but just be good inbetween (I know, I need to practice what I preach!) that way you can begin to negate the effects of fun times.
Stick with it lovely, and remember we're all still here for you!

on the plus side there is no way you ll be leaving the 9s no matter what your planned nights involve and that goal will keep for an extra week or so.
now off you go and enjoy the nights off safe in the knowledge that you look flipping fantastic ( its only in your head that the 2lbs show anyway)
