    Well to be honest beanielou, your going away to enjoy, so have the drink or two, see them as treats, and not something to totally deny. Well thats how I see the weekends away as something to enjoy, but only a little bit ;)

    Hi all

    just a few days since I was on and you've moved!!! You trying to hide from me??? Found you...:D

    I have to confess to school hols itis so have fallen far from the wagon. Having decided my third target was too low I increased my intake :eek: Then got carried away so am now 4lb over revised target which should be easier to maintain, when I get back to it:o

    Have baked lots of buns and biccies this month, used SW methods etc but have also eaten lots and lots of them:eek:

    So am back on here now and it's day 1

    Have taken walking boots, rain gear and healthy picnic. Looking forward to catching up with you in a fortnight. And then losing all that I will have put on. Must make a note of the name of those waffles .. was it syrup AND chocolate?

    My official weigh in is Sunday but this morning the scales were looking on the friendly side ;)

    Hope I can keep it up - really wanting cake and biscuits - mullerlight and an apple just isn't the same :rolleyes:

    .....just a personal opinion, but.......

    If you feel you've had a good week, and if you can stop at a small amount, then a small cake and two or three biscuits will do you more good than harm. It will reset your "SInce I've been naughty" timer to zero, and set you up for a few days.

    A balanced diet is just that... sweet foods are a part of a balance.

    Hello everyone.

    I'm starting to really lose weight for the 1st time *fingers crossed* I've tried diets before (lasted the grand total of 1 day before my sugar cravings set in!). I've also been on 2 different weight loss tablets from the doctor - the one lot was successful (until the winter kicked in & my SAD started - a total of 1 month). However on Saturday I had hypnosis to stop my sugar addiction & for the very first time I feel in control of my life. Yes the sugary things are there & I do think about them every now & then but now for the first time I can say NO. Unfortunately I don't know what I weighed last week - my scales are not accurate (Hence my post wanting scales recommended), but I'm going to weigh myself at the pharmacy today & get a decent set of scales! I probably won't post loads but I will be keeping an eager eye on this thread!

    Thanks those who post Comps

    Hi zulu, good to see you listened (so few do on here) and came over to join us. Zulu was looking lost so I dragged her over from wanting to buy some scales.

    There's all sorts of top bods here (quite a few ruffians as well, but more about them later:D [yes delly, the fallen madonna with the big boobies, I mean you]).

    Have a look at the current chart which is nestled in the first page of the thread - you'll see what I mean about the massive losses some folks have.

    If you want to join the 5lb monthly challenge just holler on the board
