What a great thread. I feel really excited to be back on track. Having last 8 stone last year or so, I've since put about 2 back on. It's day 4 for me now and I'm looking forward to getting all the way to my ultimate goal of being a healthy weight this year. I know if I stick to the packs that I can do this in the next few months. That feels really exciting (and also a little scary!)
I'm scared at how quickly I pinged back to emotional eating at the end of last year and dealing (or not) with issues by eating. It feels good to be back in control now, and on this plan. I'm also looking out for some other books (as well as Beck) to help me learn some better ways of dealing with things.
The last couple of months my asthma has been a lot worse too, since eating more 'normally'... well, more truthfully since bingeing on all the tasty foods I could find. So I want to find a way back to food at the end of this that will let me be fully healthy too. Anyway, that's for the end, back to now, it's day 4 today, and I'm looking forward to another day of packs, knowing that this will help me reach my goal.
Happy New Year

What a great thread! (I don't think my browser wants me to write this, it's my 3rd attempt and it keeps erroring... fingers crossed!)
I'm starting back too, and feel really excited to be here.
Thank you for your inspiring stories, it's humbling to read what you've all been through too. It's also exciting to know that we can support each other, and work together a day at a time to work through these things and to regain control, health and self-esteem for ourselves.
Having come off plan at the end of last year (and faffed for quite a while before that) I've put back on 2 of the 8 stone I'd lost. I feel really excited this year now, and motivated to actually get to my ultimate goal of being a healthy weight (it still feels a little scary / unreal / not possible) but know that with the support on here and keeping my mind focused that I can do it.
I scared myself at how quickly I pinged back into old patterns of emotional eating and dealing with issues (or not) by eating. It feels good to be retaking control again this year. I plan to look out for some books, as well as Beck, to help me work on that further, so that once I get through this stage, I can be confident of a way to live and maintain healthy!
Anyway, happy new year, and I look forward to us encouraging each other on these journeys. What a great thread
Hope you're all having a good weekend.

Bad bad day
Weekends can be so tough cant they!! I have my weigh in on a Sunday specifically so it will help me through the weekend. I would fail miserably if it wasnt for the fact I have to weigh in on Sunday.
Hope tomorrow goes better for you hunni xx

Sorry haven't been around for a couple of days - dr has had to up my Meds for thyroid and I also have a referral to hospital - as if life isn't complicated enough. All of this means that it isn't the time for me to do exante so moving to slimming world. Wishing you all good luck and please let me know how you get on xxxxxxx
Samprand
WILL do it!
Thats not a bad plan, sounds like a good motivator
dextersmum, sorry to hear things arent going well for you, could coming back to exante be an option for you in the future? best of luck for slimming world, my mum did it a few years ago and lost about 5 stone! x

Thanks Sammy - definitely an option for short term and am thinking of giving it a go when weight loss slows/plateaus as helps to keep me motivated. Cannot do sole source as not good with thyroid probs though (
