Thank you. Ive had a naughty month or so due to the wedding and have found it very hard to get back on track but fingers crossed I will stay in the zone again now.
I am so conscious I do not want to put the weight back on. It would break my heart but its only me that can control it so fingers crossed my willpower stays x x x

Ive not been to this place before so shall make use of everything but try to be as good as I can without spoiling it for my friend. She's not a big drinker so it should be ok. The strange thing will be packing my Gym stuff for a weekend away lol I would never usually do that.
Quite excited for my weigh in on Friday but just wish I had of been good sooner rather than later. I guess the main thing is we are all still here still doing CD and still losing no matter if its 1lb, 2lb, 3lb or 4 a loss is a loss and we have to think how far we have come. I still feel so much better. I'm still not used to being " this slim " and I still flipping love it.
71 days till Xmas and I just hope to be at goal of 10st 3 by then, I could do it a whole lot faster if I didn't have so many nice trips planned but it's all part of life and we have to be able to live whilst on plan.
I seriously don't know If I would have stuck at it so long without you lot on here, The support is great and just having this place full of people all going through the same thing makes it easier x x x

Girls I just NEARLY caved but thankfully I walked out of the kitchen and here I am ! I've been craving . . . . . Something I wouldn't usually eat so I don't understand why I want it ?
I'm going to read a bit if my book and ride the craving.
Gym bag ready for tomorrow I will get through tonight as its all about choice. I know I want to be slim more than I want the blooming thing I'm craving
No need to respond just had to write it down.
Again it has to be said, thank god for this place !

Have to respond now I've read your post hon! Well done!! You ignored your animal brain!! The craving is the animal brain having had its way in the past. We are retracing our brains not to act on the cravings as we've done in the past. The remarkable thing is the cravings do pass. Ok not all te time as I know from totm but they do subside a little. Though I confess they can be overwhelming hence my slice of ham earlier today! Could've been a lab or cheese or bread!!
Keep going for it Angel! X

Hey! Angel where are you hon? Hope all is ok? I know you mentioned you would be away a lot but I can't remember when. Anyway just wanted to drop by and say hello. Also wanted you to check out a blog site that I have found interestng and helpful (it may not be to others but always worth looking at these things to decide for oneself.)

I just wanted to message you and say how inspirational your story has been. I'm right at the beginning of my journey but I hope mine will be as successful as yours....Like everyone I have my good days and bad, but to be honest I'm amazed I'm still sticking to it 2 weeks down the line (I too have tried every diet out there) & my will power in the past has been non existant, but for some reason I seem to be in this 'bubble' at the moment & I just hope it doesn't pop any time soon!! I have my 2nd weigh in tomorrow which Im not looking forward to as my scales don't seem to have budged, but I do realise that sometimes that's just the way it goes and you see the loss in other ways...so fingers crossed!! Anyway good luck with your new goal for Christmas and thankyou for sharing your thoughts through the weeks as it really has helped to motivate me.

Morning all
I've had a few trips away London weekend for a friends 40th and also just returned from 4 days in Somerset.
I've had a inevitable gain and am gutted to be back up to 13.2 :-(
I know a lot will be water retention and am now back on track with a clear diary where I know I can stick to plan for a good few weeks. I also now know I'm setting my goal back at 11.3 so it's under 2 stone away and I will get there before Xmas. I just don't think I would be able to maintain any less.
Green tea and 2 ltr of water at my side. Off work today so should be able to catch up with the site. I know it sounds stupid but I'm a all or nothing girl and knew I couldn't stick to plan for the breaks I had so did slip off track although I am disappointed with myself. Today is a new day and a fresh start.
Weigh in with CDC on Sat will be my first since Sept.
Hope you are all well and doing better than me x x

Hey! Angel!! Glad you had a great time hon! It is hard to maintain when away and socialising. I was in London for the weekend and although I kept my calories under 1000 scale still showed a couple of pounds more than when I left on Friday morning! Have a great first day back on plan. You've plenty of time before Christmas to reach your target.

Thanks Kira,
Just trying to keep myself busy. Was tempted already this morning but didnt give in and wont this time I know I have to get things back under control before Christmas. No way do I want to start buying bigger clothes than I have and my size 12's are a bit snug to say the least but I will be back to 11.3 in no time. We all know it works its just getting back into the right mind set. Will try and read some more of the book later as Ive not read it for a wek or so. Hope your doing ok ? Will catch up on your diary soon x x x

Today is going to be day 1 ( again )
I will get there I've just lost focus for a while but I can not allow myself to keep falling off the wagon. Now the wedding has gone I have lost my main focus but that is no excuse to pile the weight on again which is the last thing I want.
Ive read a few pages on here and hope its the kick up the bum I have needed to see how other people are still doing so well. There is nothing letting me down except myself and that has got to change, Hence day 1 of the new attitude SS from now until I get to 11.3 Just hope I can do it before Xmas.
I may keep popping back to ramble to sorry in advance lol. Im working strange shifts this week ( not with my usual crew ) I also have a date with my son to see the new James Bond Film on Friday so will take bottles of water to keep my hands busy. My weigh in yesterday was 13.2 but it is Time of the month so I should have a good loss by next Sat, Fingers crossed as I know one decent loss would get me right back in the zone.
Im going to avoid the bars all together as I know once I eat ANYTHING it just makes me want " real " food.
I am seriously kind of blaming other people as once I got to 10.13 people said I went to far and didnt look as nice on my face also now ive gained a bit people are saying im looking better. I know Im just using this as a excuse for not sticking to plan ( sorry to ramble lol ) but I think I will now look at my before and after pics as if anything will help me get on track those OBESE pics should do the job.
Hope everyone is doing better than me but I promise girls I will get back on track x x x

AWh! Hon it is so much harder getting back to vlcd but I know you will. It's the head thing. YOU have to be ready and have the miindset to do it and the timing of course can be key. Have you tried your wedding dress on again? Maybe trying it on and the reminder of how good you felt physcially and emotionally will help that refocus again? x

It's weird how people seem to want to sabotage you (cos even if that isn't what they have in mind, that's the effect it has). The thing is, fat redistributes. So yes, you might look a bit thin in the face, but over the course of six months to a year, the extra padding seems to move from your hips back to your face. So next time, you can safely ignore those comments or confidently state that you've been told it's only temporary! Strangely, most of us seem to lose weight from the top down. Or maybe that isn't strange - maybe it's gravity, LOL. Probably why I never seem to get to the point where I might lose lose my fat calves.
Thank heavens for Evans boots!All the very best for your restart x x
