Kate well done.

I nominate you to be our slimmer of the month.

Anyone second that!!!?

Kate well done, that is such a milestone. 1lb to go!!!! It gives you such a positive feeling to think "I'm such-and-such stone and so many pounds now" I went to SW last night and although I only lost 1/2 lb I feel really happy because I treated myself to a few feasts last week and feel goo...

Wow. She looks so happy and rightly so.

Kate, remember not to deny yourself or you will just crave even more.

Everything in moderation and if you do hanker for a glass of wine plan it into your days calories/syns.

Failing to plan = planning to fail.

I will get the camera out when I get back from the allotment.

What lovely girls. You will enjoy your chicken keeping i'm sure. I've just had fun worming mine as I've got a couple of pooey bums. Now I'm off to the allotment and will bring back some over large corgettes for them no doubt. And by th way if you have anyone that grows marrows they usually have too ...

We've had a pond since before we had the girls and we have always had it netted over to stop any drownings - well the fish were a bit sluggish and one or two tended to hang around the water inlet pipe so thinking they needed some more oxygen we put in a little waterfall with a little stream. It's on...

Perfect!!!

Big day yesterday.

I cleaned out the wardrobe of all the old "fat" clothes as I had been to M&S and bought myself some new ones including a size 10 skirt!!!

I've filled three bin bags with the old stuff and now look forward to getting dressed in the morning.

Hi Ben You obviously feel you are bigger than you want to be so the first step is to tell your mum and make sure you make any decission together. She will be able to help you put together a healthy diet WITHOUT missing meals and potentially damaging your growing body. If she doesn't feel confident e...

I heard a brilliant one some years ago.

A large lady that worked in a school kitchen told me it was impossible for her to lose weight while she worked there because it was a well known fact that you absorb calories through your skin and she was always working on the frier.

Interesting

Well done Mallard, that really shows off your hard work!

Rubber corsettes? What are they supposed to do, make you sweat off the calories?

Hi Effie Angie is absolutely right. Snack away but do it with the right things. One question I have is one I should have asked myself when I started to try to loose weight "who taught you to diet?" In my case it was my mum and judging by her struggle and size she is hopeless at it. It is n...

No, TotallyScrambled, I bought the car on finance and the money I saved on the fags went to pay off the monthly instalments!!!! (Although I must admit there was also another reason why I gave up - I developed a huge lump in my tongue - it turned out to be a swollen lymph node but boy did it give me ...

Our thoughts are with you RichnRach

Good luck

I do agree it is about wanting to but I also think the thing that has sustained me through giving up the fags and loosing weight has been the daily satisfaction I get from smugly knowing I'm in control and am beating it!!!! With giving up smoking, 4 weeks in I went out and ordered myself a brand new...
