_party_ Happy Birthday elle45 _party_

Well day two of the new month and I'm not doing well :doh:

To follow from my Pizza disaster Monday we ended up with chippy chips and curry sauce for tea last night.:eek: I'm too tired to do anything and it's just slipping.:doh:

And I ate an entire packet of choc digestives overnight (haven't slept )

Am determined to do better today so will be doing some sort of mince and potato dish in the slow cooker today

Well it's a start

Hello - can I join in please?

I'm currently living in Sydney, Australia and surrounded by bronzed beauties all the time, so when it comes to getting my grey-white flabby body out at the beach, I just feel horrific about myself. I'm the biggest I've ever been and have gone from being "the skinny one" in my group of friends to the "chubby one". I hate clothes shopping because everything looks gross on me, and it's actually affecting my confidence at work and in social situations.

Anyway, enough doom and gloom - onwards and upwards and all that! Here's my plan:

- Walk to work and back at least 10 days this month ie 20 in total (will only be in the office for about 15 working days in Feb due to holidays/visitors/travelling/offsite meetings).
- Do at least 4 each x Body Pump, Bikram, Run and Swim over the course of the month
- No sweets, chocolate, cake or crisps (except on special occasions like OH's birthday and Valentine's day).

So far, the results are:

1/20 w2w
0/4 BP
0/4 Yoga
0/4 Run
0/4 Swim

My real downfall is boredom eating - I snack on anything and everything going. Any tips for how to avoid this? Plus I'm a real chocoholic

Ooh, I feel all motivated and excited to join a little group! Good luck guys!

I have the Paul McKenna thin thing on my ipod, perhaps I should start listening to that too?

Hi everyone,

How are you all getting on? (HAPPY BIRTHDAY ELLE!)

I was reaaally hungry yesterday. I don't think my stomach is used to just the three meals a day & smaller portions! I did some cross stitch in the evening to take my mind off food & it helped!

Exercising has been pretty good. Did the Wii fit yesterday & had a 30 minute walk both yday & this morning.

I recommend to everyone wanting to lose weight is to weigh everything! My portion sizes have got a lot bigger since Christmas & I think thats my downfall. The past 2 days I have weighed everything I've eaten on my digital scales & I am shocked that i'm basically eating twice the amount i'm supposed to. Oopsie!

I'm really hoping for a loss on Friday morning. Fingers crossed!

:wave: Hi everyone,

Don't shout at me, I know I've been AWOL and I'm sorry!

I've edited my signature and as you can see, the only thing that went on in 2010 was about 1 1/2 stone in weight

Anyway, Dragon, please count me in, I've weighed this morning at 20st 8lb, and have got back on the wagon and here's hoping for a weigh loss of ANY kind this month!!

Good luck to everyone old and new!!

:A :A :A

Would you mind if I join? See my signature down there, I am now 10st 5 so that didn't happen - and I started weight watchers yesterday yet today managed to eat 2 brownies and 2 pecan caramel danish - I feel sick from all that sugar and the brownies weren't even that nice yet I keep eating that crap! What is wrong with me that I just can't say no to that type of food! I really want to sort out my body now and I think I could really do with the support here!

Good to see you montymud and I think a lot of us are in the same boat!

They say it takes 28 days to retrain yourself - you are only on day 2 so give yourself a shake and pick yourself up and keep going hun!

:T Hi there!

I find the low cal hot chocolate drink quite handy fo weak moments, choccy cravings etc, made up with water about 40cals......although while it's nice to have in the UK in Feb, I notice it's 30 degrees in Sydney, so maybe not. Perhaps you could make an iced version or a mocha frappe??!!
