New thread for those of us who need a little kick every now and again. Remind me of your reasons for doing this again? I need to be a healthy weight for possibly the first time in my adult life.
We all have blips. Days, sometimes even weeks off. And the scales stay the same or even go up. But long term, you should be losing weight and learning new habits to maintain. Think of it like house prices - they fluctuate and go down as well as up (apparently they do go up!). But over a long period of time you're unlikely to regret buying a house.
welcome yoghurt :) you'll find all the support and virtual kicks up the bum you need here.

Brilliant reastie :o Sorry it didn't suit you, but comfortably fitting into something you previously squeezed itno is brilliant :o
MM - nothing wrong with treating yourself every now and again.

I am still doing well at being motivated. Can feel myself startign to slide though...I just need to hold on until Saturday, day off.

MilkshakeMaker · 04/10/2012 14:57

Music to my ears Kato, music to my ears!

MilkshakeMaker · 04/10/2012 15:02

It's not long to Saturday Infinity, you can do it, sounds like you are well on track this week, get you! Lol

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 04/10/2012 15:19

You're right. It's only 36ish hours away. Of course I can do it! Like every weekend I say ill still cal count but set myself a higher goal - even 2000cal, this weekend I WILL do it

KatoPotato · 04/10/2012 15:50

Nice one reastie You notice your old clothes getting bigger but it's a leap to try the next size(s) down!

Not sure when i'll brave a size 12...

TheOneWithTheHair · 04/10/2012 16:58

Well done reastie that's great news!!

Come on Stealth you can do it.

My week is still crap. I'm pretty sure I'll have gained but I'm not surprised. I have two nights out this weekend. One is a mnet meet-up.

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 04/10/2012 18:18

Thank you :) hair, mn meet ups a very good reason to break the diet (wine you drink with mners has no calories) but is there any way you can only break the diet a bit?
I was on a London one the other week (think you popped on the thread?) It was great fun!

TheBonkeyMollocks · 04/10/2012 18:31

Hello, I have discovered the secret to dieting!!!!

Get a hobby!!! Grin

I have just started making my own jewellery to sell/presents and over the last few days. I haven't picked at all!
" meals a day and i am done!!!! Shock

TheOneWithTheHair · 04/10/2012 18:38

I did pop on the thread. Thought it would have been great to meet up if you were ever in Manchester.

Bonkey that's great. I love it when I find really good distractions. Tomorrow will be hard. The DIY is temporarily on hold and I have to stay in waiting for a new carpet. I may have to clean something. ShockGrin

TheBonkeyMollocks · 04/10/2012 18:39

Cleaning is good!
Thin waist and clean house! Grin

TheOneWithTheHair · 05/10/2012 07:22

But it's soooooo boring Bonkey.

Morning everyone. Hope you all have a good day today.

MilkshakeMaker · 05/10/2012 07:30

Morning,

I don't have anything to say but find if I'm checking in here it's much easier to be good! I've got work today, it's charity day and there is cakes and sweets being rammed down our throats, will give to be really strict with myself or I'll scoff the lot

TheOneWithTheHair · 05/10/2012 07:55

Good luck Milkshake. I want cake. :(

InfinityWelcomesCarefulDrivers · 05/10/2012 10:02

TheOneWithTheHair · 05/10/2012 10:06

Well done to today's losers.

Sorry about your mum eighty. Hope she recovers soon.

reastie · 05/10/2012 14:02

eighty excellent news (not your Mum obv - hope she's OK)

kato I love your logic on the moving the scales around the bathroom!

Things here not great past couple of days - really stressful at work and having to work longer hours this week including tomorrow, means I have been eating too much, so will keep fingers crossed for a maintain if nothing else on weigh in Monday

TheBonkeyMollocks · 05/10/2012 15:47

I'm not doing too badly, been busy with the jewellery if you would like a linky to my fb page then I can pm Wink .
