On a different note, I am sad to inform you all that I am "resigning" from this challenge, i just can't do it and am finding it so hard, feel like I'm just going to be fat and sad forever, I don't have the willpower or anything to carry it through. I just dont have it in me to lose the weight, I feel useless and good for nothing. For every step I make forward I make ten steps back and I just can't do it anymore so friends, I wish you all well, i will be keeping an eye on your progress Thank you all for your support so far and I hope you beat Lenny hands down, you are all doing great and I think you are all wonderful people. Keep it up, you're all amazing :T :T :T

Oh no you don't missy! Weller, this challenge isn't just about losing weight, it's about supporting each other through their daily ups and downs. Besides, flippin heck woman, you're 11lbs down!! I wouldn't call that 10 steps back.

So, ok, like debt busting you might have a bit of a setback, you might pig out for a few days, lord knows I've done my fair share of that. Even if you put a couple of pounds back on, who cares, there's no grand prize here other than us feeling better about ourselves. If that takes 12 weeks or 12 years it doesn't matter. What matters is having somewhere to go where people care so you can offload all of the self destructive thoughts and fill yourself up with positive ones. So, by all means have a few days off, you've had a rough week, relax a bit. Then, when you feel like it hop back on the wagon again. But, once names go on my list they can't come off, that's like removing a friend and I'm not about to do that.

Toto

Pap, you look fab, your face is so much thinner. And you do have beautiful eyes.

Toto

Keren, I think your suffering from working at home syndrome. When we first started the business and I quit session work I slowly started to retreat, I just wasn't having enough contact with outside people. Then it got to the point where I almost couldn't go out, I was even having my shopping delivered, my confidence fell through the floor.

I don't think you should get a job, because I think you're past that now. I think you should do something creative... foody... something you love. You could make celebration cakes? OMG yes, set up an outside catering business, you could even go and cook for people in their homes for dinner parties etc. I'll help with the business set up if you like. I can also give you tons of event companies who use caterers. I also have more than a few contacts in the catering world. Would you like a masterclass with Mr Saunders? I could sort that out for you easy as pie.

See, I've got you up and running alrady, by all means tell me to shut up:rotfl:

You are completely right Toto. With everything over the last year, I hit rock bottom. I am a bit better now, but I seem to have levelled out abit. I think I've been out twice this month - the same number of times between last October and May! I need to get out of the rut, but i'm finding it hard.

have to say Toto, doing dinner party cooking was one of the things I'd thought about. From two to about 12 people, in their homes. I guess i'd need loads of kit to go and do venue catering.

I thought a couple of years ago about the different menu's and did a bit of looking around to see if it was do-able.

I'm just not sure about the H+S regulations , what certificates I'd need or if I need my own kitchen inspecting etc.

You make it sound really viable Toto!!!!!!

Weight loss this week 1.75lbs total weight loss so far 4.5lbs

Not quite sure how I've managed that with the week I've had! Hopefully won't go back up next week

And Weller, you should read what Toto said and take it to heart! Spot on
