    Hi peeps :wave:

    Mazzers - Glad that you enjoyed yourself, pic is lovely btw :D

    I`ve been a bad lass :o just can`t get my head around the SW bit, the reason is that i keep eating LC food as i`m so used to it and then the meal planned evening meal is more sw so in reality i`m not dieting at all even though my head thinks that i am. AAARRRGGGHHH! i`ve also put on 4lb :eek:

    Just called at the supermarket on the way home and everything that i bought would be lc diet type food.

    Was talking to DSis a while ago who has lost around 4 stone now, what she`s been doing is lcing really strictly on induction all week and then having a blow out at weekends and eating whatever she fancies.

    Wonder if that would work for me *scratches chin* i would have thought that by the time the bod is back in ketosis then it would be cheating time again.

    I go on hols in about 4 weeks and would love to lose some more and i think that the only way i`m going to manage it is lc so back on that tomorrow and see if i can stick it out until the hols. I`m yo-yoing all over the place atm so really need to do something.

    Hope that everyone is ok.

    Planning on starting the GC again soon :p

    Just like me, mixing the two and it doesnt work, puts weight on.

    Has had me quite confused at times.

    Daisy, thought the pics were on my fb page but apparently not, am working on it.

    Crikey no wonder my head is all over the place. Just been speaking to DH on the phone (he is away until tomorrow night) and he`s just reminded me that we are both off work after next week for a week :j

    He thinks that the SW type eating would be best for that week as it would be easier to stick to :o do you know something - he`s right. We have family visiting and staying with us too so lots of extra bits and bobs to do/cook/organise and i think that i could get away with making SW recipes to feed all of us without anyone else noticing. The booze will be flowing too and i can have wine on SW rather than voddie on LC.

    Think i shall still do lc this week as have the food in and then TRY the other next week. GRRRR! I forgot about the visitors and now i have to get the house in shape before they arrive which isn`t going to be easy as i`m on the worst possible set of shifts to get anything done.

    New fridge freezer will arrive the day before they do and its going to have to be stood in the living room for a few days *rolls eyes* it`ll be like steptoes yard here.

    I`m looking forward to some time off but i`m not looking forward to all the running around :( i need a rest and i don`t think that i`m going to get one :(

    Right need to stop moaning and get my act together :o

    I`m off to water the pots in the greenhouse before my head bursts :D

    Hmmm, tis quiet on here.

    Mazzers you look gorgeous! loving the pic.I'm not quite brave enough to post one of me yet, maybe after the holiday. (October)

    I'm reading a book called "French Women Don't get Fat" or something like that, at the mo. Its very interesting, more a psychology of eating habits rather than a diet. I'm going to try to incorporate a couple of the habits though. "Don't eat standing up, and eat meals at the table". I am such a grazer, and probably eat loads watching tv without it even touching the sides. Moooo!

    Right MUST do my wii fit thingy. Haven't exercised since aqua-torture on Tuesday.

    forgot to say:

    Made slimming world chips tonight but added piri piri herbs. Was lush! Hubby scoffed his way though a bowl too. I used to work with a chap who ate everything that wasn't nailed down and yet was trim. He said his secret was chili pepper- he added it to everything, even McDonalds. Apparently where he was from originally (somewhere hot, I forget where) they add chili to lots of foods and it seemed to keep them trim. Not sure its something I could get used to but if I get desperate I may give it a go. Chili ice cream anyone??;)

    I`m really wanting an actify as well but have read allsorts about them and been put off as well.

    I`ve had my mouse hovering over the buy button a few times now and always bottled it imagining the new kitchen going up in smoke :rotfl:

    I wish i could find some reviews of the later models by peeps who have had them over 12 months but i can`t seem to find anything but the older ones where they were all going up in smoke.

    Has anyone seen a Dr about weightloss? I am 20, I feel 'depressed' about my weight. I am disgusted by myself naked and just the state of me in general. My boyfriend is so very reassuring. I must be about 19stone and 5'4. I hate hate hate hate the way I look. I'm too scared of scales, and I try to lose weight but my willpower stops somewhere along the line and I have no idea. I'd love to waltz into topshop one day and just buy something beautiful.
