Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow 21/1?

[MrsMummyBx]

Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow? Want to be diet buddies? Im 14st7lb my heaviest ever at 5ft4. Need some motivation and willpower. Going to be doing meal substitution with shakes twice a day to kickstart my diet. Was meant to start early in January but it didn’t happen and I’ve slipped. Will be doing My Fitness Pal too.

Tinsel enjoy that cider my friend! When is your flight?

Thank you Reckless, I feel I can be honest with you ladies and that helps me to know that I'm making good decisions about my health, mental and otherwise.

Hi ladies thank you, the little man is doing much better today thank you. Went to Toby’s Carvery for lunch and had lots of roast potatoes so that probably wasn’t the best idea! Doing a healthy stir fry for tea though! I’ve managed to resist sugar for nearly a week and I feel much more energetic and my cravings are much better!

@tinsel have a safe flight!

@YouBoggle please don't underestimate how much this thread is helping me too. It's like a little secret corner where we can own up and not be judged and all help each other to get to our individual goals whatever they may be. It has turned into so much more than a weight loss thread for me.
@MrsMummy I'm glad your DS is better. I love the Toby, cheap and cheerful and always hits the spot for me. Well done on swerving the sugar - that's really hard.
Wondering if @Tinsel has taken off yet.....

Hi ladies!! Flight was a late one

Lovely weather. Well done Boggle for being so in control, what a great mindset you are developing

I'm eating mindfully even though AI is often carbs.. protein loafing and eating small plates rather than big ones

Tinsel that view!!! 😍

Wow @Tinsel that is sublime. Have a great time - sod the carbs - it's only a week!
We've been to Warwick today to take DD4 out for Sunday lunch. I had half a roast chicken with veg but gave all but one roast potato to DD.
Dessert was chocolate mousse with Turkish delight and hazelnut praline. A bit naughty really but will just have a small supper later and pick up the baton again tomorrow. My weight seems to be stuck so I'm going to have to come up with something quickly. I think I've had my eye off the ball a bit too much.

Sorry not sorry ladies

Sounds great Reckless you have lost loads already and it's very normal to become stagnant!

@tinsel wow wow it looks amazing!!!! Enjoy those cocktails

@reckless my mouth is watering at the thought of a chocolate mousse!!!

I’ve been a week without sugar now, except I did have a hot cross bun yesterday but that doesn’t count right?!??

Hope you all had a good weekend ladies! Weather in London is miserable and drizzly. I’m on hols from Thursday and going up north so I hope it perks up a bit!!

Have a good holiday MummyB!

Holiday is going great thank you! I'm a bit iffy about my relationship with DP at the minute but unsure if it's because I'm unhappy in myself or whether it's just the natural end! So confusing but having a great time!

Still having treats like yummy crepes but not going mental with the carbs like bread and pasta, you are so right Boggle and Reckless it is all about control and the mindset!

How are you guys?

Ah @Tinsel sorry about DP - I hope you work it out, but in any event enjoy your holiday as best you can.
I've been really shit today and have binged on bread and biscuits. Why? Nothing has happened and I'm not cheesed off or anything. Must be getting bored with the dieting. Pretty certain I won't have lost anything this week. Never mind just gotta keep going......

It's my first relationship so I'm not sure what's what so hard to know.

You've done so well tho reckless! I'll have gained about a stone next week so don't worry

What things are bothering you about your relationship Tinsel?

Have had a reasonable couple of days but I did bake cupcakes....

I love him so much but I'm not sure if I'm settling down too early, no sex drive, no spontaneous stuff! But then I think that fades over time with most long term relationships.. I know I'm only young and shouldn't worry but I do!

Oooo what cupcakes??

How long have you been together? You who has no sex drive and isn't spontaneous or is it both of you? What does DP think or is he just bumbling along?

Vanilla cup cakes with vanilla butter icing and random toppings like a creme cut up, choccy buttons, bits of kinder Bueno. They're yum!

Here is a photo...

They look terrible, my icing bag wasn't working! Delicious though! Maybe cos they look bad they're less calories??

Omg they look so good!! Yes definitely less calories and I heard if chocolate is broken up, all the calories escape...

We've been together 3 years and it's me who hasn't got any drive but I think it might be cos I'm so unhappy by myself. He's very understanding and nice about it all but I just feel so down!

If it makes you feel any better, my sex drive is 👎🏻 it does make it harder when you're not feeling so good about yourself though.

Rubbish isn't it! I am trying to leave all my worries till I'm home

On a lighter note, how funny is this!!

This is me! But instead of chocolate it's booze (well before April!)

It's me too

How is everyone's day going?

Feeling really low at the moment. My DS is 16m on Saturday and he's the last one to walk about if friends and family of a similar age around him. I know it doesn't matter and I'm more annoyed that it's bothering me but all it does is take me back to him being so ill in hospital and all the crap we've had to deal with. I haven't had a low day like this in awhile. I really want wine
