...but I don't know what.

I am sick of being on a diet, off a diet, on another diet, off that diet to, ad infinitum.

I desperately need to lose the two stone I put on while pregnant four years ago, but I can't seem to stick to anything. I am currently falling off the slimming world wagon, having previously tried most things out there - WW, low carb in various guises, hypno, cal counting...

Not sure what I hope to gain from posting this. I am just so fed up of it all and so fed up of being fat and needed somewhere to rant.

As you were.

2lbs on here. It's no surprise as I had a rough week but things are a bit better now so I'm raring to go again The important thing is not to quit!

200.2lb this morning. Going the right direction at least. DH is back from his business trip tomorrow though and he loves his carbs & "saucy" dinners (stews, curries etc). I'm going to try to continue with my fruit for breakfast/salad for lunch/avoid the carbs at dinner plan and see what happens.

Thank you for updating the spreadsheet too! I have a little graph on my phone through MFP which is very encouraging. (Apart from the little bounces, but I'll get over that. The general trend is good.)

Hooray 3lbs off for me! My dd's birthday this week and I've had 2 pub lunches and loads of family birthday celebrations and have stuck to the plan (through gritted teeth!). Was worth it though and has given me a real boost. Well done everyone - we're shrinking...

starsinthenight · 01/10/2014 07:57

Well done everyone! I can't seem to get motivated this week - energies seem to be very depleted, & I'm reaching to quick fixes (food) for a boost. Not good. Was doing so well, so will try and get back on MFP tomorrow today ...

Anyone about??

AddictedtoCrunchies · 06/10/2014 22:09

AddictedtoCrunchies · 06/10/2014 22:10

tipp2chicago · 06/10/2014 22:56

I'm still here! weighing in tomorrow.

antarctic · 07/10/2014 07:42

I'm still here - it doesn't matter if there aren't many of us, we just need a few committed ones!

Just weighed myself and I'm 1lb down this week Smile

Justwhateverreally · 07/10/2014 08:55

I'm still here! But have been crap this week. Had a lovely trip abroad though, got some sunshine in the Med.
I remember last year when I was dieting I got to just over 13 stone and ground to a halt; same thing has happened this time. Is it some kind of psychological barrier?! Grin
I know I said it last week but now perhaps it really is time to have am autumn push. I could still be down quite a bit by Christmas. Ho hum.

Well done everyone who is doing better than me!!

tipp2chicago · 07/10/2014 09:17

196.8 this morning, delighted with myself! That's 11.2 lb gone, or 5% of my starting weight! So pleased :D

Justwhateverreally · 07/10/2014 09:46

Wow well done tipp!

AddictedtoCrunchies · 07/10/2014 12:15

Well done Tipp Thanks
I stayed the same this week but that's Ok with me. Smile

thobblywighs · 07/10/2014 17:57

Well done Tipp. That is good work! Not weighed this week as had a busy, food filled, weekend but will get back on the scales tomorrow and face the music!

Stillstarving · 07/10/2014 19:32

1.5lbs off here. I'm really pleased because I had a very sociable weekend! Sorry I'm not around much between weighins!

Stillstarving · 07/10/2014 19:32

Well done to the losers!

CrumblyMumbly · 07/10/2014 19:39

1lb off here - have to keep reminding myself this is for life not just a short term thing - otherwise I'm scared I'll reach target then it will creep on again.

thobblywighs · 09/10/2014 20:01

Stayed the same but am still lighter than when I started!!!!

Nocarbs · 12/10/2014 20:55

Still here too, although have been awful the last few weeks with celebrations (birthday kind!) lots of meals out but this week I'm back with it.
May get back on 5:2 and then MFP?

AddictedtoCrunchies · 12/10/2014 21:11

Another half done today. They don't get any easier Confused

starsinthenight · 13/10/2014 08:08

Well done to you all still loosing & staying the same! Tipp -amazing loss! I took a leave of absence, but back again. Daren't get on the scales till next week tho' Blush

antarctic · 13/10/2014 20:54

Another half marathon - well done Addicted! Is that it for this year, or do you have any more coming up?

antarctic · 14/10/2014 07:29

No change for me today. It was DS2's birthday party on Sun and I had lots of cake so I'm quite relieved actually! Still 8lb down in total. Good luck to everyone weighing in today.

tipp2chicago · 14/10/2014 09:04

196.4 this morning. It was 194.8 on Friday but I kind of fell off the wagon on Friday night & drank the Shannon. Should be back down by Friday hopefully so I can hit my goal of a stone down by my birthday on Sunday. Then hopefully another stone by Christmas.

Stillstarving · 14/10/2014 10:56

Down 2 this week miraculously! Still plodding on...
