Just don't drown it in butter!

Good luck with the mortgage offer!

The mayo cheesy toast is quite good really. But am feeling quite unwell now, although that might have something to do with Baby Vomit Monster.

I always thought popcorn was good too!

Yes but cinema stuff is covered with sugar. Maybe just have a small one.

I would be making my own and sneaking it in, even though I am sure it is not allowed.

Sweet Popcorn??? You've got it so so wrong! Salted Every time with butter butter butter

Or Butterkist... ooohhh

I have a sweet tooth so it's got to be sweet. :)

My tooth is very much from the school of equal opportunities...

Hahaha!

Ok, back on the slim fast diet after looking down at my belly in the bath last night it resembles a wobbly barrel

I did celebrity slim before my wedding in April and had pretty good success. However, after some huge life changing circumstances and leaving my job I am steadily gaining weight

Had a slim fast shake for breakfast at 9am. It's now 10.15am and I'm bloody starving haha!

Buttery salty popcorn here too!
Where are you Cordelia? Guessing not UK :)

I'm in Canada, so I'm surrounded by seriously delicious junk food! We moved out here in July, and I've been steadily getting rounder since

Oooh cold. Are you dreading winter?

It's nearly here, we've had a few foot of snow already. It's going to get much colder I'm sure!

Perhaps a little tummy will help keep you toasty?

A little one, maybe. Not this monstrous thing though none of my clothes fit me. I have no idea how much I weigh because I don't have any scales, I'm sure it'd make me even more depressed if I did weigh myself though. Gotta stop moaning about it and just bloody do something about it. My DH prefers women with a boy more meat on them apparently. Easy for him to say with his 30" waist

Urgh, yes I have a very slinky hipped husband too... despite his diet of wotsits!

You've taken the best move by joining the gang, we're a good mob and all here to help :)

I thought so. I had a quick read before I posted. It's hard losing weight, but easier if you can moan about it haha!

My dh is definitely more rotund than me. He'd make a reasonable father Christmas.

I've found it invaluable to have scales since I started this thread. It's the first time I've ever been on a diet and I find that the little losses spur me on. I've lost a stone since it started but my clothes don't feel different. I think I'd have given up without the scales for evidence.

It must be hard living in a Country with sucha high abundance of Peanut butter based snacks and crunchy cheetos!

Jealousy will get you nowhere Kato.

Besides you have the Munchy Box.

Hello everyone. I was worried that working at home would lead to snacking, but so far I'm more likely to forget to eat lunch at all, then grab some leftovers at 2.30 before the school run.
We don't have Christmas treats, I'll probably make mince pies, but I'm very good at giving them away to everyone. I may eat one or two before Christmas, but I'm not too fussed by them.
I still have most of the box of chocolates I got when I left work over a month ago, despite DH sneaking a few that he know I don't like.
Parties are going to get me though, with their cakey snacky temptations, but I am so close to my target (4lb) I'm determined to see it through.

4lbs? You will do that no problem the way you've been losing. (It would probably take me six weeks!).

Is that your prechristmas target or your overall one?

That's excellent IMST! I can't even remember what my Xmas target was! I know it was 11 by Halloween, which I managed! Going to stick a finger in the air and pick 10st 8 for Xmas?
