    Way to go Puzzled, you sound well motivated, will you send me some of it pleeeeeeze. WE WILL DO THIS. :A

    Ummmm confession - motvation ran away and left me in the land of more free easter eggs, a date or two with a very nice man who unfortunately feels the need to feed me every time i see him resulting in chinese food, burger bars, pubs, kispy kreams, cake shops and even buying my fav biscuits in (caramel digestives) because i went around for a cuppa.

    Also the alcohol consumption has been very, very bad, have been drinking sugary coctails, sticks shots with cream etc and i even forgot to ask for diet coke, so when i went back to the vodka drank fat coke all night instead of skinny coke ........

    So as a very, very naughty Puzzled i am hanging my head in shame.

    Hope Kmac and Emmy are keeping up the exercise. Lynne how is the new job going? Blue - hope when my motivation ran away you got it instead :)

    And to all the newbies - so do not follow my example, in fact if anyone has and cheats they can share - things like what to eat when driving instead of the um very yummy haribo sweets that accidently open and then eat themselves that would be ace :)

    Hey everyone,

    How are you all doing?

    Ive totally fallen off the wagon and have put 5lbs on this month rather than loosing the 6lbs i aimed for!

    Sooooo not good and very demotivated although i know all i need to do is control what im eating .......

    Wish me luck!!

    Hi everyone,

    Puzzled, just pick yourself up and dust yourself down, the weight will come off eventually.

    I am at my heaviest ever weight and I have started cutting down again. I don't believe in diets as such, it's just sheer hard work with exercise and sensible eating that works (with a treat thrown in here and there).

    I always look and see if anyone has been posting, we will all need to slink back and get our bums in gear.:p

    Speak soon. xx

    HI Lynne,

    I definately need a kick up the bum, but was really good yesterday and ate my 3 meals and that was it, its snacking that does me in.

    I have also changed my shopping list for this month so that i dont buy Crisps and some of the naughty stuff that ive been eating!!!

    Well done on the healthy eating!! Have you started exercising yet?
