My last post posted before I was finished!
I bought new scales yesterday as I prefer to know where I'm at between weigh ins. They were the same as SW scales yesterday but today I seem to have gained a bit over a pound. I'm wondering if it was the cheese as in the past I've only had to sniff at cheese to gain weight. I ate pretty well yesterday and it's the only thing I've had that's been different from usual really

Hey, KBQueen, I have just read through your diary and really enjoyed it, would love to buddy up with another shorty for extra support 
I started out at my very heaviest in April of 2013 at 15st10lb and dabbled in Exante for about a year and at the end of a year of ups and downs and phases of intense deprivation to total and utter carelessness I ended up starting SW in May of this year at 15st3lb. So after all that faffing about I had only lost half a stone! But now on SW I'm 4lb away from a 3st loss since May and I am mega chuffed.
I'm not losing as fast as I could but life still happens and I still enjoy my meals out and go on holiday and weekend breaks a lot! So the price i pay is that I'm losing more slowly but it's still coming off
I think your goal for your next summer holiday is very achievable and realistic. That was definitely one of my major downfalls in the past, being totally unrealistic about my goals and then, after the inevitable disappointment, I'd give up altogether. So I'll join you in your quest for next year and be in the 9s for the summer.
Your food diary looks good too, I used to fret a lot about the carbs but not so much anymore. I gave it a try (because carbs basically became a four letter word to me) and did a week of SW friendly but absolutely carb laden food. Weetabix for breakfast, pasta for lunch, potatoes for dinner. And I lost just as well. The question of how you personally feel on a high carb diet is a different one, not everyone has a high tolerance for carbs and I have phases when I really cut back on them and focus more on protein. So I'd say test it out what works best for you

My weight loss really shows now, it wasn't until I lost about 2 stone that I really felt it in myself and I feel so much happier already. Also, I have really got into exercising and although I don't have much time to spare, I try and do even just short 20 minute workouts at home as often as I possibly can and it does all help with the toning side of things.
My weigh ins are Monday night, I also attend a group like yourself. And although I don't always stay for the meeting, I try to as often as I can and it does help me. You don't learn anything earth shatteringly new but it helps to focus on why I'm doing this and it motivates me to carry on.
It's only now that I'm starting to believe that I might just make it to my target weight. I'm going to visit friends in Stockholm again next July, I've just been to see them a few weeks and I wonder how different it will be this time around. I went over there this July gone as well and I weighed in at about 14st then and it was a really hot hot week, and always on and off the tubes was so exhausting and although I enjoyed it, it was difficult too with the extra weight.
What an amazing experience it would be to be there a year later at a normal weight! I'm going to hang on to that thought

And what a fabulous thought that is too I'm the same when it comes to exercise, I started doing it after I lost the first 2 stone and I really enjoy it now and it definitely helps tone bits up.
I'm off up to my sisters for New Year, I havent seen her for over a year and the last time she saw me I was 14st 9lbs. I'm currently 12st 6lbs so a little over 2 stone lighter but would love to have another stone off before I see her so there's a noticeable difference x
