    thanks for the welcome, did a long reply before but lost it!! ggrrr

    the hardest thing is not being able to pinch a bit of the kids tea here and there!!! I've cooked cheese toasties, pancakes with choc and ice-cream, pizza and nachos with cheese for supper!! it's torture!

    just had my last shake! yippeeee still both the kids are staying out tonight so i'll be going for an early night - hopefully only another pint of water. managed a bit of exercise - a small dog walk well about 1/2 an hour.

    day 3 tomorrow.

    well hello and i'm back

    been here before and haven't a few of us, as i can see some regular names.

    i got to goal about 18 months ago, and i did manage to stay,

    my ideal weight is 9 - 9 1/2 stone and for a while i did mange to stay between this weight for most of last year.

    then we had a few up-sets end of last year, and the food crept into my life, the wrong food and drink.

    I managed to be 10 stone for christmas and was happy with that, i said i was going to loose the weight after christmas and get back down to 9 1/2, but guess what i didn't and i'm now up to 11 stone.

    And it's not good, the 14's are tight, and i have a wonderful wardrobe of sixe 12 clothes, which i am going to get into.

    I have been so bad over the past month, just not been able to get my head in the right place and i don't know why, i have even (hangs head in shame) gone to the cake shop and bought 4 cream cakes and ate them, all in one go, and i just didn't know why, and even worse i didn't enjoy them.

    So yesterday with not one easter egg,as i told my family do not buy me any, (just before i went out) i sat infront of my wardrobe wearing my knickers and bra, and i looked at the wonderful clothes that i have in there and i pulled on the £5 black pants i had to buy last week in size 16 from asda, and iput the baggy top in, that i bought, the one that i go out in each saturday night, as it is the only one that i feel comfortable in.

    Today i sat down with hubby and told him no more, nothing no more wine, no more indian take aways, i don't want it.

    He admitted to me that he also has put weight on, which he has, so i have decided to go back on the cambridge diet, (daughter did it last year before she got married, and there is 3 weeks of sachets in the cupboard)
    hubby is going to healthy eat, and we have both decided to start walking after tea, and the gym membership that i have been paying for the past 12 months and not using, i'm going to start using, and also i'm going to dust the cobwebs off the wi-fit.

    i have 4 days booked to go to krakow end of june, and i want to be able to wear the nice cloths that i have, i also have a holiday booked to turkey in sept, and i don't want to be the bonnie lass on the beach.

    I'm luck and i don't have a lot to loose, i will weigh myself tomorrow morning, and i guess i may hit more than 11 stone, but i will cope with that.

    My aim is to get back down to the 9 1/2 stone i'm comfortable with.

    There i've written it all down now, i know day 1 will be hard, and i'm prepared for it, hard work and determination will get me through it.

    I also have here and mini mins to look on for support.

    thank you for taking the time to read.
