Zobo, I identify... not sure why we do this, but think it's because we know we are heading back to the real world and its food... maybe it's all part of the journey when you get to this stage!!!
Andju, you didn't sound sorry for yourself at all... sorry, I just think too much about stuff sometimes!!! Mainly thinking out loud if you know what I mean. You are very wise, I agree that the journey has to be followed to the very end but only we can decide where the end is. And we can change our minds!!! Feeling a lot better this afternoon, and much more positive.

I find now Im closer to target Im thinking about and wanting food more than I thought possible. Perhaps because when we started it was a simple "NO" as we had so much to lose... where as now we are so close to the finish line its like we can almost taste the food?

Hi all, just back from a day in Glasgow, the sun shone and I was as good as I possibly could be... had lunch with friends at Wagamama and chose raw salad (leaves & slices of mooli) and endamame beans, which are soya beans, so high protein. Figured that was best veggie option as the tofu dishes came with sauce & rice or noodles. So... feel good about that, even though I know it's just the fear of tomorrow's weigh in keeping me on track! The scales seemed to dip earlier in week, but are solidly back to where they were now... grrr. Still, I try not to take too much notice of them as they can be erratic.
Hope everyone is OK. Hugs, Trisha & Zobo, been there, know how it feels... it's all part of our challenge to put food back into our lives I guess. Learning process, right?

Wow well done. It makes all the hard work worth it. Im a 14 but a 16 on top, big (.)(.)s lol but it does mean I cant get dresses that fit well. Last time I was this weight was in the 90's! x

Me too... and not for much of the 90s, either! One of the dresses I tried was GORGEOUS but too big on top & gappy round sleeves. The bottom fitted perfectly, it was quite fitted. (I am bigger on the bottom half, not horribly so, but big hips/bum.) I never wear fitted stuff, ever. I kept fiddling with it, wondering what was wrong with it, and then it dawned on me. It was just too big... on the top half. If the skirt hadn't been so fitted, I'd have needed a 12. Oh. My. God!!!!! Worth leaving the dress behind just to know that!!!

Lol, Andju!!! I need to try that one. It's weird, but I have been giving lots of choc as pressies on this diet - either self-torture, or just some twisted idea of eating-it-by-proxy!!!
Looks like we are all set for a 100% day! My weigh in is later, I am certain I haven't made the 3lbs I pledged, but will be happy with any loss. Even when sticking 100% to 810 my losses just seem to have slowed right down. But yesterday, saw friends I hadn't seen since before Xmas... their jaws dropped, & my lovely mad pal said 'All that weight! And you've got taller, too!!!!' Lol again!!! Said I'd had my legs stretched! Such a confidence boost though.

Well done for getting rid of those clothes trip.... Out with the old, you'll never need them again.
Good luck for you wi today katy, I'm sure you'll have had a good weight loss.
Good idea with the chocs andy, lol. Even that wouldn't stop me. I have to get rid of EVERYTHING that is a temptation. So I'd either have to eat them, or give them away.
I'm a lb & a half down this morning, so 9 stone 2 & half lb.... Can't quite believe it really as I've had a couple of blips & I've been eating fruit! Anyway I'm not complaining.... Official weigh in tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have shifted that last half a lb & will have lost my pledged amount....
good luck everyone for today... x
