Hello all!
I just fitted into my 'kept for sentimental reasons' jeans that I never thought I'd ever be able to wear again!!
What a feeling!!
Thank you for all the support and tips - I love this thread 😊
Well done to all losers, and keep going all strugglers - it's worth powering through

Fantastic news on the weight Jonty And on feeling a touch better. I love fish pie, bit of a faff to make, but certainly worth it.
Tinker Good idea to break the weight loss into chucks. Doesn't sound like you have masses to lose anyway. Definitely the way to go. I love Middle Eastern food and cook it often, so the Turkish meal sounds amazing.
I am afraid we just get on with it whatever the weather and always have. Dogs to walk, pony to sort and also busy DC when they were little, much better for getting out in the fresh air everyday. Lots of Scottish holidays when they were little, so they are used to carrying on regardless
Had a lovely night last night. Ate lots and drank a full bottle of wine, that's loads for me, I do have a glass every night but not much more. Feel my appetite is normal today again.
I got up early and had some brekkie, then ran 7.5 miles. Took an hour. It was freezing cold and sleeting/raining and very windy but those kind of runs can make you mentally tougher. And it's actually quite enjoyable in a strange sort of a way.
Breakfast - Bircher muesli and blueberries.
Lunch - Tuna sandwich, fruit with natural yogurt.
Dinner - Roast beef dinner.
Snack - Graze bar post run.

Thank you for the welcomes! Need not sure what my final goal is. I'm doing little goals so nothing seems too daunting. My current one is to lose 5lbs more and be in the healthy BMI category.
Which was totally messed up by going out for dinner and drinks last night 
Jonty your day sounds amazing! As does your weigh in!
Not2 I'm ignoring my yesterday as well. Dinner at an amazing Turkish restaurant who have never heard of the term portion control and then a bottle of wine or two has made it a day to ignore! Hope you get some more sleep!
I have become oddly addicted to rice cakes with marmite on. Works out at 40 calories per rice cake so they have become my new snack best friend. To the point my 4 year old pointed out that my breath smelt funny May need to buy some sugar free polo's!

Is it okay if I join in here?
I'm 5'9 and started at 13st 7lbs. Have been using MFP and Google fit step counter and am down 15lbs so far. But the weight loss is slowing down so I know I need other people to kick my butt so I don't think "fuck it" and eat all the things!
My MFP username is the same as here. I might be less likely to use all 1200 calories on ice cream if I know you can all see it

Jumping on a bit early today. I had a quick peek from my phone early this morning and I got very teary reading all your messages, in a nice way IYKWIM. Thank you all 
.
Not your witterings were perfect - honestly. And actually that's what I need - to think this through and come up with solutions. I am ~kind of~ stuck in work but I am being hit from 2 sides now - gaslighting colleague and completely toxic manager. I have to keep convincing myself that I'm not the problem - even though I worry I am because I seem to be the common denominator. Trouble is I've been here for 10+ years so it's very scary/hard to move on, but it's getting to the stage that I'll have to think about cutting my losses soon if things don't improve. On the other side, I don't know where the relationship counselling is going yet. We're doing individual sessions again, and I like our counsellor, but progress is very slow and if anything, I'm getting angrier and more frustrated than I used to be. Maybe that's part of the process of healing - I don't know. And I think you're right - I just need to get a big cry out of my system and start again.
Anyway back to you - woohoo on the loss from last week 
!! Sorry about TOTM 
but the hair pampering has hopefully cheered you up. Gastro pub sounds lovely tonight .
Need I think I've said this before, but crumpets are v hard to find here so you're a v evil lady for tempting me like that 
. I forgot to say yesterday that I've done one set of progress photos too and I'm probably due another set around now. I was disappointed last time as my shape was still the same - just less chunky, but the difference must be amazing once you start getting properly toned up like you are.
Sesame the thing is, oaty biscuits aren't really a bad snack at all, so in the grand scheme of things you shouldn't feel guilty. It's funny though - that rings bells with me - I'm relieved when I've finished packets of biccies/choccies cos at least they're not in the house any more. Although my logic seems a bit flawed 
.
Jonty you sound much better - I'm so glad. 0.75lb is absolutely zilch in real terms so it's great you're maintaining so well.
Bath thank you for the armour - I do need reminding and it does help . And 
tasting sounds like great fun - glad you had a lovely time.
Willpower failed again last night - had 4 choccies and a G&T so finished on 1520 yesterday. Currently on plan for 1295 today, but if H mentions going out for a burger I won't say no. Otherwise my only risk is a few choccies tonight - won't need G&T tonight as work is ok today phew.

Please don't be too hard on yourself daw. When everything (everyone?) down on you, don't worry about the food. May just be a bad wave you need to ride. Don't forget the armour, but nourish what's in with good food, and self-love. You come across as such a lovely, warm, kind person. You deserve to be happier. .
Once they're gone, they're out of temptation's way sesame! But I guess to maintain so well as you are doing, you can't be the perpetual saint.
Whoo hoo not. brilliant. Really pleased you are now down to the 11 5. I didn't WI this morning, so can't say whether I am still stalking you with my weight. I doubt it. Had a do last night, wine tasting. I need not say any more, except I had a nice time, & got my money's worth!

jonty sounds like some sensible thinking there. I've found checking carefully through my logs really helpful and modified quite a bit as a result. Eg I've cut about 100cals off my breakie, and I also used to eat a pack of oatcakes every day included in my snacks, what was an extra 200 I really didn't need. My advice is be careful with the juice though - although they'll include some vitamins, it's a very easy sugar rush, that isn't nearly as filling as the equivalent quantity of fresh fruit.
need to add to what everyone else said, I like having you around here too. You have great resolve and I'd love for some of that to rub off one day.... Also I do like a healthy debate sometimes.....
daw sorry things are so tough.
Kitchen closed on 2478. I was doing really really well today.... right up until I reached for the last of the oaty biscuits after dinner. At least they're gone now.
