CORRECTION Day 18, 43 points I had a milky coffee late in the evening.

Welcome Bouncing Bean, good luck with losing the last stone and a half.

Day 19, 42 points. I must get back into the swing of things as I will have used all of my extra points this week. My average number of points is up to 41 a day. I know this is the long haul so I should probably calm down, to be on target I need to lose 2lbs a week and I seem to be eating too much food for that to happen. My scales didn't arrive today and the next time I can pick them up is Monday. That will be three weeks in so a good time for a weigh in.

Have you still got snow? Nothing much happened here, I think we had 5 mins of sleet.

It's been a hell of a week at work and it always seems to get worse on a Friday afternoon so I had 2 brandies and diet lemonades tonight - they'll have to come off my weekly extra points.

Desperate times call for desperate measures! I hope that you have a lovely week-end to make up for it. The snow has all gone now but it is still bitterly cold. And that means porridge.

Just discovered this thread and wanted to add my encouragement. I too have always been a big gal and have been on one diet or another since I was 10. At my heaviest in 2007 I was over 23stone and a size 28 trousers. Ive yoyoed up and down since then losing and regaining the same 4stone. In July something clicked, I jumped on the Slimming World wagon snd clung on tight. By Christmas I had lost 77lbs and weighed less than I have for over 20 years. Ive had a month off plan because of xmss and an all inclusive holiday abroad and regained 16lbs but I am back in the fold now and fighting to get the rest gone for the summer. My target loss was 104lbs.
Healthwise the benefits are great. I have been taken off of medication for diabetes and my blood pressure dosage has halved. I have just spent my holiday jumping down
waterfalls, ziplining and horse riding, none of which I could have done before.
You are doing fabulously well and have handled meals out with a great attitude. I know you can do this. I will be watching and cheering you on x

Wow Happe, how very inspirational, thank you for visiting. Can you work out WHY it is different this time?

Everyone is doing well, keep up the good work

I lost 4 stone before my knee replacement. I cut right down on carbs so didn't need to weigh or count anything. Big bonus was my blood glucose was normal and diabetes meds reduced.

Unfortunately a lot of it crept back on when I started eating bread (soooo difficult to give up:o) and wasn't active for a long time.

So it's back to the low carbs and back to aquaerobics in the local pool and dig the scales out, OH has hidden them.

I thimk this time my head is in the right space. I spent far too many years in an unhappy marriage comfort eating away the abuse, followed by the last few years dealing with the divorce and an uncertain future. Im happy now, I have my home, my kids are grown and although still at home they both have jobs so are not dependant anymore. My man loves me and treats me like a queen, so I guess I am finally at peace in my life and can now concentrate on me. X

Hi Murphy Bear I have just had to stop buying bread I guess I will just get more desperate as time goes, on it is easy to be hard core in the first month.

Happe, what a tremendously positive story in every respect.

Day 20, 36 points which is a bit more like it. SO very cold today. I am cooking Sunday lunch tomorrow. I need to eat a lot of vegetables!

Cooking Sunday lunch for 8 people, have made myself a lovely pudding of caramelised oranges, for the others banana toffee sponge. They could choose to join in with my oranges but I doubt it!

A friend is collecting my scales from Waitrose on their way here, grand weigh-in tomorrow morning.
