Monday 30th March weigh-in.

After nearly five weeks in the USA I'm more than dead chuffed to find that I'm the same weight as when I went! Must have been all the excercise. Now I just have to work up the enthusiasm to dive into a 'starve' day. Probably best to wait until next week when the chocolate is finished!

Scared to get on the scales but need to pull myself together so today is going to be day one. Here goes. As I feared; 10st which means I've put on @ a stone recently. But at least I've faced my demons and I'm going to pull myself together now. Should have gone to the gym but didn't. Maybe I'll go tonight. It's crazy that it's such hard work, losing weight, and then I don't have the strength of character to keep it off. It's all down to buying things like crisps and biscuits when I was away the other week and then eating them when I got home .

You've put on a whole 14lbs Tegan? That's going it some!

Well done Nfk especially if it was five weeks. Did you have a good time?
I'm off for a few days next week, but not telling anyone I'm on a diet, mainly because I don't want to get into a discussion about low carb, etc.

I'm 1.5lbs down this week and finding it really easy to stick to.

I've made it the first day of 'being careful'. I am very aware of the large box of Dairy Box in the cupboard, and DH has been waving his 'mis-shapes' (don't ask) in front of my nose as he plonked himself down on his chair, but I've remained strong.
Sometimes although it's recommended that we weigh ourselves just once a week, it doesn't always work for me. In the past, I've weighed myself each morning, and it's been quite helpful, so I'm going to try doing that again.
Good luck!

You should be so lucky Marelli. I wish someone would wave their mis-shapes in front of me

You can be arrested for that Marmight

I would ask him to wave them in front of you too, Marmight, but by the time you get back here, they'll have disappeared.... !

That can happen in cold nights.

I think I may well disappear when I get back too

14.1 1/2

Only 4 stone to go[busad]

actually

Galen, it's so difficult to lose weight when it's nigh-on impossible to exercise (walking, etc). Are you following any particular regime to help you lose weight?

How's everyone doing? I'm in desperate need of chocolate and my mind keeps wandering towards the large box of Dairy Box (still unopened in the cupboard). I've made myself a mug of chocolate Options....
I think I've lost about 3 pounds since I began cutting down, so I must not give in to looking into the cupboard

Gradually going in the wrong direction again - feeing disheartened but fatalistic - bad combination

Same here Marelli; have cut right back and have lost a few pounds. Realise I just CAN'T have anything in the house that I shouldn't eat, as I have no self control whatsoever. Sticking to three meals a day and trying to sleep a lot [I can't eat when I'm sleeping!]. I feel so fed up when my weight creeps up; I worked so hard at losing it and then it's as if I get some sort of mental block and eat anything that isn't screwed down for a while .

Me and you tegan

And me....

You are all doing so well. Marelli is doing a great job xxx

I HAVE LOST THE PLOT BIG TIME.

- the only great job I'm doing, glass, is not looking in that bl..dy cupboard....!

DON'T LOOK IN THE CUPBOARD!!!!

It's the cinzano bianco with me!

On Wednesday I rejoiced! I had the 9 up. Yes, alright! 9st 13 and 3 quarter pounds. But the 9 was there!

Yesterday I made hot cross buns. A dozen. There are just DH and me here. There is now one bun left.

I daren't weigh. I've probably ruined it all. And now comes the choccie....

I hit the Lovage last week;inherited a bottle. It was lovely but not sure how alcoholic is is/was . jings...pretend it never happened [but you have to eat the last one for that to work ]...
