How did this happen. I am so, so ashamed of myself. I used to weigh in 13 stone, then overhauled my whole diet and got down to 9stone 8lb.
But I've put it all back on. And so much more. This is shameful and I cannot believe I have let it get this bad. I've even had to buy some size 20 tops. I have tried slimming world but that didn't really
Work for me. So I'm back to calorie counting. And 5:2. From today. I've got to stop making excuses. I am going on an amazing holiday in January with my 2 best friends and. CAN'T be the size I am now.
I am sick of feeling tired, uncomfortable and just plain shit because of what I eat. I've taken before photos (won't post them as they would scar you forever) and have stuck a photo of myself at my smallest when I still thought I looked fat on the fridge for inspiration. I can do this!!!

Well done for drawing a line under it telly.
I have put on a pound this morning so I'm really not impressed with myself. Just goes to show how much difference it makes when you done move around. Yesterday I spent 14 hours at my desk and basically went straight to bed so my step count would have been zilch.
I woke up with the wind too, it was crazy! I'm just about to brave it on my walk to the station..... 
Also, can I just say how helpful I am finding this thread. Talking about dieting in real life makes me sound boring, plus I feel a bit embarrassed because of putting all the weight I managed to lose before. I feel like if I talk about it in real life, people just assume I'm going to fail. So yep, this thread is really helping me 
Well done Boo!! 6 lb is brilliant.
Well, I've just got in from a 'charity' Anne Summers party. Because nothing says charity like a vibrator and nipple tassels 
I gave into temptation of the buffet and ate a cheese roll and and angel cake :( but had a look at the packages definitely didn't have to dig them out the bin and they come in at 340 cals for both so I'm quite pleased.
Heir you sound like you're doing really well. Leftovers aren't really a problem for me luckily as ds always has meat and I'm veggie but one tip I read was as soon as they say they're finished, put it straight in the bin. Even if you think it's a waste of food, just get rid of it. Easier said than done though I know.
Iampert I hear the secret to a happy marriage is to ignore your husband as much as physically possible so I say this group is good for your marriage 😂😂 congratulations on finishing your work, must be a good feeling! And now you can enjoy your weekend away. How was the takeaway? Good to know we can still enjoy treats whilst making healthy choices. On that note, does anyone know if the tomato base on a pizza count as one of your five a day? Asking for a friend...
I am guilty of pinching bits off his plate whilst he's still going 
But an ok day, the noodles were delicious and allowed myself a small treat of a little jam tart as had a stressful day. Finishing on 1400 calories, I'm aiming for 1300 a day so slightly over but not horrific.
Hi - do you mind if I join you? I'm 5'1" and probably about 11.5-12 stone, but I wouldn't know for sure as I don't have scales I've read all your posts and I can relate to so much of it!! The main problem for me is sort of incidental eating, if you know what I mean. I work at home (surrounded by food) for three days, then go into the office for two days - it's a really long commute and a long day and I'm always bloody starving and end up eating junk on the way home (why do train stations have to sell so much food?!). So those are the things I need to change. I play a bit of tennis and I walk a lot but that's it. Has anyone tried fitness Blender on YouTube? That looks quite good.
Thank you for the nice welcome! 
I'm logging everything on MFP so yes, just calorie-counting really. It is so hard to resist temptation when on the way home after a long day and it's so easy to buy something unhealthy (I always do). I am just going to have to force myself to be organised by bringing healthy snacks - that doesn't come naturally to me at all!! I also want to make sure I eat 5 fruit/veg a day to leave less room for crap (that's the plan anyway). I like the idea of a weekly photo - I will do that or buy some scales! Good luck today everyone.
Hi Benham!
I'm afraid my running clothes are pretty bog standard! My favourite leggings are from Tesco Decathlon is good if you have one near you. But I wear any old crap really, usually cheap gym pants and a band t-shirt. My charity running top for the 10k arrived yesterday and it's a bit snug so there's some extra incentive.
Apologies if it is boring, but here's today's planned food - it helps me to stick to the plan if I tell someone else about it! B: oats, fruit and yogurt and a coffee. L: ham salad. Snacks at work - an apple, nectarine and Go Ahead bar. Not sure on dinner yet as DH is going out, probably something like scrambled eggs as quick and easy.
I love hearing other people's meal plans heir!
I wish I could be happy with scrambled eggs for dinner. In my head that's breakfast and if I had it for dinner I'd feel unsatisfied. They're good go because they are filling and full of protein.
Today I am having a few teas and coffees and have treated myself to some flavoured fizzy water. Dinner tonight is leftovers - last nights curry for lucky DH and tuesday's chilli for me, with some asparagus and broccoli on the side.
All I really want to eat is a huuuge steaming plate of noodles. But I won't!
