Not liking seeing you so down Instant
I also weigh throughout the day - just to keep a check on how im getting on and am also fed up of being how I am, I cried at my 3yr old nephew calling me fat ha ha how pathetic!! but I know I have to carry on and im sure you will too.
My April goal is to lose 8lbs and last week lost 1lb and this week I have stayed the same :sigh: so now thinking what I need to do to push it more, although Im sure my cheesecake eating this weekend hasnt helped!!
So this week no loss.
Hope others do better

Hi Nee!
It's my own fault I guess. I know what I should be doing & what I have to do to lose weight, but my motivation has just taken a serious dip. I stay awake half the night, sleep half the day, can't make myself just get up and go jogging or something. Bluntly, I need a kick up the arse
. I'm back on track today though...just going to ignore the scales for a month, stick to my regime, and hopefully be able to lose without obsessing about +1lb on, -1lb off, etc. I'm moving my target for the end of May to 162lbs, which probably isn't a size 14 but seems realistic enough if I work at it Compulsive weighing is the devil - if I've put on 0.4 of a lb, I'm more inclined to just go stuff myself with chocolate or whatever, cos I can't feel any benefit of the diet. I really haven't been doing it long though, so hopefully if I stick it out a while longer my mind/body will get used to it. The amount of exercise etc you have to do to lose even 2lbs a week is just exhausting
. Better now than never though - We can do it Judith!! Amy x

Morning all!
Yesterday was a good day, I admit I didnt venture outside but food wise I was really good, hoping this afternoon to take the dogs to the beach for a walk - but hoping it stays sunny
I am having the issue of feeling utterly lazy and am abit down too, hoping I snap out of it soon, but regardless I am still eating well/healthy so am at least happy with that
Hope everyone has a good day x

Morning all you lovely young things.
Glad to hear you had a good day, Nee and being on the beach today sounds perfect. My weekend thingy is my sister and I staying with another close friend. This means not preparing my own food and eating out and drinking too much. This I think of as "the perfect storm" where all the worst possible factors come together for a disaster. I am going to offer to take lunch for the Saturday and make something which is deceptively light in cals. I think they'll like this so I'll get brownie points and have a bit of extra control. Then I'll sneak in a slimfast for breakfasts and just say I'm not very hungry (please god there isn't pancakes, maple syrup and bacon for breakfast which is my absolute all time fave.)
Jo, everyone has different weigh-in (WI) days so its up to you when you post your weekly loss. Some of us are serial weighers and can tell you to the ounce how much we weigh at any point of the hour/day/week/month.
* * *
I weighed in today and I have lost 3 lbs since last week. Yippee - that is the pound I put on and 2 more. l was exceptionally good yesterday coming in at about 1100 cals so that might have just tipped the balance. One more pound to hit my 1 stone mark.
However I have just had a serious blow - someone ran into my car in the bad weather and it has just been in the garage for 3 weeks (ridiculous amount of time). I had said I didn't want a hire car but I couldn't manage for that long so I had to. They just been to pick up the hire car and claim that I have put two (yes two) scratches on it. I said "no way" but they are going to try to charge me for them. I burst into tears with the injustice of it. I was the victim here (my own car was parked outside of my house when someone hit it in the snow) and have had a huge amount of hassle over the whole thing and now my No Claims is at risk. This is just the sort of time I eat my emotions away - the feeling of lack of control over the situation, the sense of injustice, the feeling that no one is listening to me. And the knowledge that there is more hassle to come if I don't want to face handing over a silly amount of money. I'm going out with the dog now to soak up some sunshine and try to calm down.
Hope your day has a better start. xx

Hello!
I put a couple of pounds on last week due to totm-normally I would have worked out to help lose it but I have a few personal problems going on I eat when i'm upset so the day before yesterday I had crisps and chocolate and ice cream and yesterday I went to Cafe Rouge to eat and had creme brulee!
However, I jumped on the scales this morning and have managed to stay the same despite eating lots of bad things and doing no exercise. I even fit into my size 14 jeans this morning.
So my weight is 12stone 10 pounds ( I was 12stone 8 pounds and was so happy with that!)- I have had my couple of days to be a miserable so and so and now have to get back to this weight loss-summer is coming and I want to be able to wear nice clothes!

Don't panic KG - just get back on your plan and forget about the blip. The 2 pounds can't be real (it would be 7000 extra calories) so it will just go away again when its ready. Keep focusing on that summer outfit you want to wear (without the cycle shorts to stop your thighs rubbing together or the teeshirts to cover up your bingo wings) and you'll do it. xx
Hi Judith
I definately haven't eaten an extra 7000 calories-that number looks sooo scary!
Thanks for your words of encouragement I'm going for a walk now during my lunch break at work- will pick up some lunch-i'm glad it's sunny, when it's sunny I tend to want to eat salads and light food anyway!
I hope you're right and these 2 pounds go away. I'm going to do my exercise DVD tonight as well-I would really love to go for a run but i'm so embarassed by how I will look that it kinda scares me and puts me off.
I'm also thinking about buying an exercise bike or treadmill. I move flats in July and will hopefully will have a lot more room so I can get one. I'm also starting to grow my own vegetables and herbs xx

Way to go KG - you sound much more positive already. I have a treadmill and it spends more times covered in clothes than it does in use but that's cos I have a doggie now. But I know its still there. And a treadmill is much better for your joints than running on the roads. A bike is good too especially if you have it set up in front of Corrie. Veg and herbs? You little earth-mother you....

Well done on getting that 3lbs off, go you
I think your plan for the weekend will be fine, plus Im sure if you tell them your trying to be abit healthier they will understand, but must admitt if there is pancakes and syrup on offer I would struggle to refuse hee hee
Sorry to hear about the garage with the hire car, what I>D>I>O>T>S and BLEEPS
Hope you get it sorted and try and turn the anger into something positive, and maybe you'll burn some calories whilst doing it hey all well had my WI today and ive lost 0.5lb this week, not bad considering ive had a bad weekend, but spent monday and this morning trying to compensate and hopefully next weigh in should show a little nicer result , but i guess i havent gained and its half a lb that i havent got on me anymore

Morning all!
Had a really good day yesterday - I think I felt really motivated by losing weight and thought that it is possible to do this. There was also some discussion on a poker forum about my video trying to win a seat at the World Series of Poker in Vegas in July (watch it please at YouTube - WSOP Video Entry if you get the chance as the more clicks I get the better). And this got me to thinking about what would happen if I did win the seat??!! I simply cannot be the weight I am in the publicity stuff. The last prize I won I had to live with the photos all over the web for weeks and I wanted to die. And I won't know if I have won or not until end of May and I'd have to fly in July so I really have got to make some head way now.
As I don't work regularly I have lots of free time and I have found that using this forum is a real support to me - I think I log on 5/6 times a day! And if I'm really struggling I find a diary I haven't read yet and spend an hour or two browsing that. So thanks for everything guys - I appreciate you all more than you know. Have a good day and remember what Thomas Jefferson said "we never repent having eaten too little" xxx
