BitOutOfPractice - i've set to 1200, but will cheat myself with exercise calories, i think that's were i'm going wrong. I'm not beating myself up if i go up to 1600 in the day.
I like MFP because i don't feel like i'm being told i can't eat things, like with some diets. I don't cope well with forbidden fruit!

Can't wait to see the Necklace of the Woods pebbles!

I've always been happy with my Fitbit step count too and it's been more accurate than apple. I don't have a heart rate thing, mine is basic. Also think it evens out as it doesn't count steps when pushing a trolley. Wish it counted lifting a wine glass.....

I have finished my assessments in between all the other madness and indoor rain playtimes. I am looking forward to being away from the asylum ahem, teaching establishment.

Good Luck tonight niki

Hairspray! I'm in awe!

Koko you are so like me. We are mindless eating cohorts. My fridge is empty tonight and we have an apple each for snack and slice of bread each for toast tomorrow. I'm a stinge at the airport so we won't be eating fancy breakfasts.

Have a great time stellar!

Only me and a large family bag of M&Ms left in the office tonight...

I have had two handfuls and now I must get out of here before there are none left for everyone else tomorrow. Really hoping for a good weight tomorrow morning so will be a small dinner tonight

Oh and thats a fab NSV hairspray , I am definitely down a size in some clothes too.....

I am SO tickled by the "I want to fuck Sam" song! I'll be singing it too now! (Better not let DH hear me...)

Remind me where you're off to Stellar?

TV STEP AWAY FROM THE M&MS!

Quim if you saw him you'd be singing it too no doubt

I'm going to the Necklace of the woods quim

Then London - land of the connecting plastic bricks.

koko I think the answer is do whatever works best for you; not in terms of the best loss, in terms of your lifestyle and what you find easiest. It doesn't sound like LC is for you, because you have to be very dedicated to it, and although I always advocate cutting carbs as much as possible when you're trying to lose weight, not being able to eat them at all is a big shift for some people. It sounds like a calorie goal would work best for you, especially as that way you can put it all in the night before when you're feeling virtuous and have A Plan each day, which might make it easier not to go off-piste.

Hello! I've been busy again today. Just catching up but I can't get the necklace thing. I feel left out!

Niki it's sooooo good to see you so positive and horny.

KOKO I think MFP might work for you here. Just think of it as just logging everything you eat. Not restricting or depriving. Just logging. I find that just doing that makes me much much more mindful of what I put in my mouth.

So who else has completely failed to get their steps in today? I'm on 5,000 but it has poured torrentially all day. I did do one of those home cardio workout videos at lunchtime - well the first 10 minutes of it :) - something is better than noting I keep telling myself. Now just need to keep hands busy this evening to avoid snacking.

Another one of my typos BOOP - Stella said she was in the East Midlands and I said that's my neck of the woods but it came out necklace!

I want to f**k Sam - funny. Not sure my BF would appreciate it - he's not called Sam 😂

Not a bad day foodwise if you ignore the cookie. 🙈

Dug out the hairy bikers book and did paprika chicken. Was nice.

I am bottom of the steps leader board - office job and crap weather! X

Just discovered there is a prosecco and macaron bar on my way home from work 🙈 dangerous is not the word, popped in and had one maceron, but the lady told me they are all between 45 and 63 calories so no damage really! Plus all the profits go into training disadvantaged young people.

And here is a pic of the slinky 6th form dress! And evidence on why it pays to be a horder keep things

As always excuse my messy room and dirty mirror I am a slob

Lovely dress! 14,000 steps today (but gave in to a sausage sandwich this morning )

Looking very foxy indeed hairspray and soooooo young!

Wow. Amazing dress Hairspray!

Hairspray you look incredible!

So lovely & so young hairspray, enjoy! I so regret not wearing things that I thought I looked fat in. Wish I was that 'fat' now!
Today started well food wise
Veg & lentil hash, 2 eggs
Roast turkey, green beans, sweet potato gratin &.....
2 glasses wine, bread & cheese a spice biscuit. Quite a large one
My lovely fil came for dinner & brought the wine, cheese & biscuits. Seemed rude not to!

Bloody wit woo Hairspray you look amazing x
ready ...I'm with ya girlfriend...my day has been similar to yours, the downside to doing lots of steps is the need to eat more...so if I can still do the steps and not eat I'll be sorted

Nikki we really need a picture of hot sexy pt guy otherwise it's not real

Pebbles I think I'm originally from your necklace of the woods. I don't live there now but was born and brought up in the East Midlands.

Hairspray you look amazing, I'm so envious of your figure. If I close my eyes I look like that, if I open them I don't. 😂

You all seem to be very positive right now. I'm trying hard to be positive and I'm looking forward to Weight Warchers tomorrow. This means I have two official weighins a week now .

I join every diet thread going and never keep it up, but am going on holiday in 5 week so have to lose half a stone. Pleeease. I am low carbing.

Id love to show him but I'd rather not post it publicly. I dont think private message allows you to share photos tho.

Nikki I'm not after a picture of his face 🙄😏

Not sure i can get a revealling pic.
