Happy 2013, how's things?
Happy new year 
Gem and Tizzy hope you've had an amazing christmas and new year. Been a lovely one here aside from flu-like bug that's had me in bed for a few days, just in my ears and throat now so i can come back to work and i'm here today til 4pm oh joy of joys And we came home from inlaws to no hot water and some stupid clause about it being a new boiler means only the manufacturer's engineers can fix it else it'll void it's guarantee so gotta wait til 3rd Jan which will mean a whole 8 days without hot water grumble grumble grumble. Wow what a negative way to start a post for the new year i shall cease at once, it is 2013 and a WHOLE NEW START
Well it's 9weeks exactly today til i'm 30, started back on plan today after over a week off and i'm going to try my hardest to stick to it 100% for the next 9 weeks so i can get as close to goal as possible, would be over the moon to see the number 14 on my last WI before birthday which would mean i'll need to lose i think 24lbs in the next 9 weeks so gotta be good and i'm sure you guys will help out.
Was santa good you to all? Was very kind here, Ella loved it bless her and was still opening presents the day after. I got my knee highs, underwear, jeans (an 18s is TOO BIG WOOHOO) some perfume and baking books.
Well i intend to try and be around more this yr and we will all be SLIM JIMS :-D bring it on 2013 yay

Hi Ninja! Glad to hear you and Ella enjoyed the holidays and Santa was good to you! I also had a good time both here in the Netherlands and in the office in France...perhaps too good of a time if you catch my drift.
It's definitely time to hit it hard and get this diet done! And I'm sure you can lose 24lbs in 9 weeks by sticking to CD! You've got great focus and just imagine what it'll be like to be in the 14s!!!
It's our year to get there and stay there!

Happy to year to u both! I'm 30 in about 9 weeks to and I just wanna see a 16 something on them scales before I go away over my birthday. I get so close to the 16s then stop and put some back on this year I must push last that 16 something barrier would mean so much!
Evening all Been a busy old time here, with work and being a mum. Ella had us in A n E last night after she fell and banged her head, fell unconscious and stopped breathing so i had to breathe for her for a lil while, she spent a good few hrs in hospital being observed and aside from a black eye she's fine but i honestly thought she was dead for about a minute and i know that doesnt seem long but believe u me time stands still when someone isnt breathing and is well lifeless and grey But onwards and upwards and like i say Ellas fine she's her usual happy self lol.
Diet's going well, looks like i might manage possibly to STS when i get weighed on Fri or even have a sneaky 1lb loss which i dont think's too bad for first WI after crimbo period. Ive made myself a lil chart to cross off days up til my 30th, sommat like 58days to go haha
Glad everyone else has had a good time, will check diary's when i get home from work but Tizzys how's the new yr treating u diet wise and Gem have you managed to restart as planned?
hugs x

Wow wow wow! How scary! I can't come close to imagining it - and good on you to have the presence of mind to keep her breathing going! I'm glad to hear she's doing well.
I redid my stats/signature this morning to show the weight loss in months (see below), which made me realize that I started to drift in Nov, helped by 2 Thanksgiving feasts, and followed it up with Dec's 2lb gain. Happily I've lost the 2lb gain and am now working on getting rid of the last stone, the sooner the better. If I had shown half the dedication you do, I would have lost the 30lbs of Phase 2 and be well into maintenance by now. Ah well - could'uv, should'uv, would'uv....
At least this will be our year - we will reach our goals, go into maintenance and get on with the rest of our lives - I'm looking forward to it!!!
When do you next weigh-in?

Oh ive sort of pickled around the last few months too only having about 5-7lb loss per month and well all christmas and nw yr ive not done it, think i probably gained about half a stone but was only showing a few lbs this morning. Official WI is on Fri, should have been Sat just gone but i had to move it coz of working and i bought products to last 2 wks and well when she comes on Fri i'll still have about 4days worth left if not more and it'll have been over 3wks since i was last weighed but gotta get back into the groove and shifts these last few stones.
I hate how your body goes all ughh those for a few days when you drop the carbs, i mean i know i'm not SSing but i still dont have any extra carbs if i can help it and i just feel so sluggish for a few days til my body gets used, doesnt help working til 9pm proper wipes me out but im in tues and Wed til 4pm then off thurs and Fri so should be in the swing of things til then. The interesting part will be that my chart doesn't allow for treat nights between now and my birthday so A) it'll be interesting if i CAN stay 100% and b) whether it will make any major diff to my weight losses but we will only see over time

Jeeeeeeesus! How incredibly scary and upsetting for you, thank god she pulled through x
Thanks for concern but yes you wouldnt know anything was wrong with her aside from the lovely black eye lol.
Well currently a relatively peaceful day in work which is a bit bizarre so i actually have the opportunity to come on here. For some reason today my stomach is being very vocal and growling despite having had sufficient dietary intake, think it's just revolting from all the carbs over last few weeks lol. Not a lot planned today, just in work til 4pm then Ella and I will be making her T then a bit of a play before bathtime and then story time and bed (for Ella) then i might snuggle down iwth a duvet as its cold and watch holby city before having an early night myself, how exciting is my life lol!!!

Another day almost over and work was weirdly very unbusy to the point i was actually bored hmmmmmmm. Not been as hungry today as i was yesterday, yesterday i couldnt stop my tummy from grumbling and was hungry about 30mins after eating which was rather annoying but well nothing really today
Just had a bit of stressful news, been told MIL has been admitted to hospital and needs emergency surgery to unblock 3 arteries and if they can't do it she'll need a triple heart bypass so hubby is a bit in shock

Well today is day 6 of being back on 100% plan and so far so good. Dont think any of us got much sleep last night worrying about Ste's mum and we havent heard anything so far today so i'm thinking no news is good news.
Day off for me today, had a nice lie in but woke up all dizzy coz of disturbed sleep in the night so got up had a shower then v late breakfast and was going to do some baking but im not back properly in work now til Tues so everything would get wasted, got no housework to do coz we did that last night so ive just got my feet up and trying not to get too bored haha. Oh just had a call from health visitors seeing how we all are after Ella being in hosp on Sun, kind of made them feel a bit bad that they didnt support us when Ella was in ICU when she was a baby but still it was nice of them to see how we are.
Weigh day tomorrow which will be the first of 2013 and i hope never to see the number it shows ever again. Got a few nice things now in my calendar that i would definitely like to be a lot smaller for:
1. 1st March my Aunts 65th birthday and i havent seen most of that side of the family since we got married in 2008 so i'd like to shock them
2. 5th March my 30th enough said i would LOVE to be overweight and not obese or at least in the 14st numbers
3. End of March to achieve 1st goal of 14st
4. 5th May friends 30th party fancy dress and would LOVE to wear a sexy fancy dress outfit in a size 12/14
5. 8th May going to Kos for 2wks and again would love most of my wardrobe to be size 12/14s and possibly just possibly BE AT GOAL or at least in the 12st bracket!!!!!!!

Thanks Tizzy well today was the day to face the music weigh day and i've gained a respectable 1lb Pleased with that in the grand scheme of things, it will most certainly be gone by the next time i'm weighed and now i can start afresh for 2013
So now i have 39lbs to go til 14st but I shall do it

Hi Nina, I must get chance to sit down and read your diary from start to finish one day - sounds like you have had a scary week with your lil one and MIL - I suppose its an advantage you being a nurse in that a) you know what to do and b) a switch goes on and you somehow manage a very stressful time! Kids are very good at bouncing back too Hope the MIL improves! Well done on the little weight gain over Christmas that's amazing! If you get a good few weeks under your belt you should be at 14 stone for your 30th!! Have a good weekend!

Have a good weekend!Thanks big girl. Diary isnt that interesting a read TBH lol not many people stop by so its mainly just my ramblings on the same old stuff day in and day out haha but it was the first time ive done one and ive stuck with it
MIL has been transferred to specialist hospital now and is doing ok apparently, will know more when hubby can visit tomorrow. Ella is well just beautiful AND she's done 2 wees in the potty today eeek i'm so excited she might actually want to learn now. She's been ready for months as in can dress and undress herself, knows when she's weeing etc but just hasnt been too interested in actually going to the loo until today.
Well today is another 100% day under my belt YAY and the FIRST TIME since doing this diet that ive not had a treat night on weigh day, was SOOOOOOOOOOO tempted but my chart did work and i thought nope i can't let myself down and i do want to achieve that 60 days of being 100%
Got my bag all ready for 12hr shift at work tomorrow to make sure ive no excuse to deviate from plan and if we are really busy that i dont have time to make up a shake ive got my trusty old lemon bar in there too along with plenty of water flavouring and on Sunday ive got my best friend coming round with her 2 kiddywinks. One is 4wks younger than Ella and her other bubba is 1 in a few weeks so they should keep us entertained
Hope you all have a lovely weekend

Sounds like you are on fire and doing great! Well done for resisting treat night! It is a choice, tho' not always easy to stick to, and you know the food you would eat on treat night is still going to be available at the end of the 60d - you might even enjoy the taste, texture, umami more then!
Have a great weekend!!!
Have a great weekend!!!
Morning all or what's left of it In work today til 8pm so there won't be much to sway me from diet. Feeling good today hoorah despite not sleeping properly last night. Kept going into that almost dream state where you're still aware of your surroundings. Didnt help that i was up 3 times for the loo too.
Hope everyone has a lovely weekend i'll be around if there's not much to do but otherwise it'll prob get Mon or poss Sun night. Get drinking that water folks!!!
