Morning Losers!
Weighed myself this morning as it's 30 days since I started watching my calories, making a bigger effort to exercise and trying to find a more balanced approach. Happy to say that in the last 30 days I've lost 13lb exactly :j In that time I've had 8 takeaways/meals out (went through my diary and counted!) several easter eggs, a whole tub of chocolate caramels and 4 cupcakes. Feel happy as it's proof that a couple treats, or even (in my case) 1/4 of your evening meals being completely unhealthy isn't the end of the world.
Will still weigh in tomorrow with an official weekly weight
Star - I totally get that feelingWasn't until I went back on MFP I figured out I'd put 25lb+ on over the last half of 2014!! I knew I felt a little bigger but not that bigger! I'm sure you'll be zipping that wedding dress up in no time once you get focused
When is your anniversary? I don't know how much you want to lose, but if there's a handful of months before the date you might still have time!
That's an awesome lost, CWAnd it's good you're getting breakfast! I never eat breakfast and I know it's bad

I also have not been using MFP for the last week and just see where it gets me
Right back on it this week to get this last 7lbs off !!!!!!
Good luck to everyone with your weigh ins and hope you have had a better week than me !

Sorry Mav. Lets keep plodding at least. It saves going more off the rails I think.

Sorry have been awol for a couple of weeks - have been a bit off the rails again but back on it for past couple of days. I'm getting in the queue behind Mavvymoo for a good slapping lol!
So, am now 12st 10lb/178lb, a pound heavier than last official weigh in but 3lb lighter than the last time I braved the scales, so that's something, at least...
Can you put me down as a 1lb gain for the week please, Shrimpy, now 4lb down from starting weight of 13st / 182lb.
Hope that makes sense - just don't want to restart again as will never get momentum! At least you know what went wrong Mav, that's half the battle. And well done on loss HH.#21 Save £12k in 2025 £12577.35/£20000

#sneaking back in nervously and sitting at the back trying not to be noticed#
I have fallen off the wagon since Easter and just not been able to get back into it again. Weighing in this morning at 208 so is a gain from me of I think 3lb over the last 2 weeks but shrimpy can confirm
I have kept up the exercise as otherwise that would be much much worse but I have still put on 4lb since my previous lowest.
This week I will lose that 4lb to get me back on track from the post Easter melt down.
I know exactly what I am doing wrong... Eating crap. So annoyed at myself as have done to well for 5 months and then sabotaged myself. GrrrI am a Mortgage Adviser

After going AWOL last week as I had STS again even after a really good week I almost gave up, hubby fed me take away Wed night and then I got back on it! That's a first, and I am proud of him for supporting me and me for not going on a spiral.
Proud to say that this weeks hard work has been rewarded with finally getting into the 17's!!
I have lost 1lb weighing in at 17st 13lbs, 251lbs! Can't remember the last time I was in the 17's.
