Diet starts today... For real this time. So far 100 sit ups and 100 steps; tuna salad for lunch, with a banana for pudding... Just a shame my "leftover" birthday cake is taunting me from the kitchen.

I will resist, dammit!!

Help!

Just been weighed and the 2 pound I put on last week has gone (think the time of the month had a lot to answer for) :lol: :lol: :lol: so I've still got 2 pound to lose and only one week to go, do you think I'll do it :?: :?:

YES I WILL

Last week, I dug out my old Slimming World pack.

Since last Thursday, I have lost five pounds in weight.

I have three and a half stones to lose, but I am going to take it in small stages. I have been on diets before and have given up as the amount of weight I need to lose seems so vast and unacchievable that I give up after about 12 pounds weight loss.

This time I am determined to lose a lot as I am fed up with feeling ill most of the time.

I dread hot summers as I feel hot and sticky most of the time.

I am also fed up with having to wear balloon knickers and huge bras that you can use as sling shot.

One thing that helps me is that I have a photograph of me when I was slimmer. It is helping me to focus on the healthy eating.

I like this discussion as I know you may all feel the same.

Mazzza, please explain "leftover" birthday cake? I am truly confused, for such a thing would not exist in our house.. ( which probably explains why me and Rob are on a healthy lifestyle kick!)

It is only tuesday, and i still feel pretty energetic and enthusaistic, so swimming and eating lots of fruit etc but by the time the end of the week comes, all my energy has gone and motivation levels plummet, Maybe i should get weighed at the beginning of every week rather than the end..

another question..does anyone know of a low calorie alcohol that will have the same effect as copious amounts of vodka????? The world cup starts soon..and my will power will go out the window as we watch all the matches in the pub..

You can have white wine and soda or white alcohol such as gin and vodka with low calorie tonic water.

Low alcohol wines are yukky as are low calorie lagers.

Best thing to do is don't eat, save all your calories for the drink :glynis :rofl

I thought vodka was about the best alcohol to have if you're watching the calories. So long as you have a diet mixer with it.

That's what I tell myself anyway. :D

I have some nice ripe peaches this week to snack on at work. Yum!

Vodka is all i drink..and a little bottle of tonic water that lasts all night..so, the calories are either in the one small bottle of tonic or in the loads of ice i have in my drink then....

Jackie, what a great idea.. i have done this many times...and still the weight does not fall off me!

Left over birthday cake happens to be an unusual phenomenom, it occurs when your silly boyfriend picks the biggest, prettiest, yummiest cake in the shop in an attempt to appear loving and generous. However, he forgets that the cake that says "24 servings" on it, is only needed for 5 people at a small get together. Hmm...

Bless 'im.

As for the drink, vodka is the best, but if you go for the cheaper brands it's better for you. Trust me though, that is not an excuse to buy a bottle of white lable to top up cocktails because it gives you a hangover. And can make you go blind.

Weight watchers have a wine out, but it tastes a bit, well, shit. Normal wine has the same amount of sugar as a can of cola, so be sure to steer clear of it!

Hi folks, hope you are all getting on well. One more 12hr shift then I'm off for a week. Got a really heavy week ahead with our Lakes weekend, then daughters 18th, then "supper club" with some of the girlies - 5 nights of eating out :yikes even with Will Power firmly by myside I'm bound to put weight on. We all know that the best exercise is one of discretion so I will choose very carefully from the menus.

Where's hbrac hiding these days??

does anyone know how to stop my tummy from swelling up on holiday. no mater how much wheight i loose before i go away as soon as i get there my legs swell then my belly comes out in sympathy and stays out for the rest of my stay. i try to avoid bread and pasta but to no avail. :cry:

Apparentlly, it's something to do with the amount of water we intake whilst on holiday but my ankles also swell up on the plane.
A few years ago I got some water tablets from the doctor to take, but I took too many and ended up fainting with dehydration :cry: not good, so I just put up with it now, leave mother nature well alone. :?

When my belly swells on holiday its generally down to many San Miguels. Swelling of hands and feet is generally down to the heat, sometimes I can't my shoes on or rings off.

Sweet dreams everyone, not dreams of sweets :!:
