Well done for the losses and chin up Lou!! You'll be fine once back at group. It encourages me 
had a very bad week!! Started with taster nite last week and haven't been right since!! For the first time this year I have thrown a last min "holiday" in and skipping group. If only I was focussed yesterday and today I.could've clawed it back with exercise but stupid lazy me hasn't bothered. I usually exercise about 6 times a week but not this week. I was off yesterday too so no excuse!! My work colleague brought in "ket" from the old fashioned sweet shop today and I had my fair share of that!!
Will draw a line under this week and start from scratch tmrw!! I know I can do it as I have lost 16lbs so far this year!! Just a blip...

latte, i have to ask if you weight your hex 's (your cheese). There does seem allot of cheese on your pictures thats all, and i know when i cook and use cheese it always looks very dissapointing because there isnt that much! your food pictures are great by the way.
when eating out i wouldnt hazard guesses at syning anything at all, you know nothing about the oils used, the method of cooking, the type and amount of cheese etc etc. i am not saying that has been the issue here, more that i dont think you can calculate syns properly whilst eating out.
I agree with pomette about carbs, but i would try more boiled rice/pots and BNS rather than pasta and mug shots......for some they can be the devils food (pasta) especially in PCOS (unless it is brown which is manky). you need low glycaemic foods with PCOS to help with the sugars (which you know better than me) white pasta and processed pasta (in packets) may not be helping.
as ever its just my slant on things, it may be sooooo off the mark but worth considering my love! less pasta more pulses as well....i swear i maintain because i eat pulses so often

Latte, sorry to hear that you are upset about that darned gain - it really is disappointing when you try so hard.(hug)
I am not saying it is right for anyone but me, but I am feeling so much better for not having the added stress of going to group.
I used to feel so anxious and resentful of the pizza eating, boozing losers and it just added to my feelings of being a failure.
I am happily maintaining right now. Doing SW the majority of the time and having the odd blip, like Sunday when my ds bought me chocolate for Mothers Day.
This weight loss lark is just so tough for some.
All I know is that stressing about it makes it a hundred times more painful.
Take care all. XX

Hi all, WI for me later and I know my off plan Sunday will raise it's ugly head and bite me in the bum, I know the gain will be of my own making so I won't winge about it here!! For thoses of you who stuck to plan and still gained...mother nature is a cow of the highest order!! I think there is no rhyme or reson, we try really hard and sts or have a tiny loss or a tiny gain even though we do the same thing every week....and then like a lot of us had last week out of the blue a 2/3lb loss, the trick is to spit in her eye and say you won't put me off you moo!! I imagine how much I might have put on since Christmas had I not been doing this....instead I'm a stone down! x

hi everyone!!!
right ive come on the laptop, its driving me mental on the i phone not being able to thank or 'like' anyones comments lol..
shelster well done for the loss
felicity that sounds like one hell of a hangover hun!!! oooof!!
acc- i hope it works doing it on your own hunni
flabulous im pleased you are more relaxed being off plan and happy maintaining, sometimes all we need is a bit of a break to get our motivation back
tiphareth well done on the sts, if you havent been 100% then for a tortoise thats a good result hunni, be pleased and pick yourself up, dust yourself down and give it a good crack this week, you can do it
greedyguts dont be so hard on yourself girl!!! we all slip now and again, it doesnt make you a failure or lazy or any of the things we label ourselves with it makes you human. being hard on yourself serves no purpose other than to make you feel bad then you will end up losing your motivation and feeling really down. its just one week out of the whole of your life....dont look back you cant change a single thing about it now, look forward and take it one day at a time and just do your best thats all you ever can do :bighug:
latte oh hun :cry: im so sorry youve had an unexplained gain. i havent checked your food diary, but have you been guesstimating syns when eating out? this is what tripped you up last time and when we worked it out you had had a lot more than you realised...then the week after you had a good loss when you pulled it around, could it be that youve slipped again but not realised? its hard to be 100% when you eat out, but you cant not go out, that would be awful and make you miserable. i really do think though that this is whats tripping you up...did i read youd had omelette? they put cream in omelettes and cook in oil but as they cooked it its hard to know the amounts hun, and wedges are more than likely deep fried...im not saying youve gotten this wrong but its easy to think that something is lower syns than it actually is and then really berate ourselves for not losing weight. 9 times out of 10 when theres a gain there is a reason but sometimes we just dont realise it..it could be medication, totm, hidden syns, not weighing and measuring properly, not eating enough super free, portion sizes too big etc etc. go back to the weeks that youve lost, your very good at doing your food diary and this is good cos you can look back and see where you have possibly slipped up...it could just be temporary water bloat..or constipation? i dont know hun but please dont get in the mind set of feeling so fed up with not getting the result you want that you give up....do you still go to group? could you do an s.a.s. log? its a pain in the bum but its just one week and i thikn as you feel you dont know where your slipping up it could help pin point the area which isnt quite going as well aas it could? big hug, were all here for you xx
sorry if i have forgotten anyone
i weighed in last night...im 11.10, i was 1.8 on boots scales on sat morning but 11.11 on boots scales friday morning lol so its a happy compromise i think!! i think its only a pound up from what i weighed when i left group so thats not bad really. so i am not discounting how far i have come cos ive still lost 2 stone and 4 pounds from las t may which is really good but i just feel this next step i need a fresh start, i dont need to be looking in my book and seeing i weighed less than i do now weeks, even months ago. its soul destroying. so im starting a fresh, new book, clean slate. i feel motivated and even had breakfast this morning!! first time in ages! i felt sick after, my body isnt used to it lol. im determined to stick to it properly, no trying to cut corners and no over indulging, im out on saturday with my sister but well be dancing which is body magic and i AM going to prepare food to snack on when i get in and im going to stick to vodka lime and soda. i dont want to look back anymore and i dont want to keep sabotaging myself, i just want to eat healthy and normal and even if i dont lose one week i dont want to feel like its the end of the world and then go on a mass binge, i want to accept that some weeks will be harder than others as i have a life to live and i cant put everything on hold waiting for me to lose weight, i need to learn how to live with eating healthy all the time and get on with doing things like socialising and still lose weight or maintain. i thought the other day that i keep thinking if im really good til i get to target then i can relax a bit...but thats wrong cos ill relax then put it all back on, this has to be a way of life and one thats enjoyable.

I lost 7lb this week. I only ate an apple yesterday. This week's loss feels like nothing.
Last night my precious cat had to be put down. I wrote last month he was diagnosed with kidney failure, there was nothing more we could do. He hadn't eaten or drank in 5 days. He was suffering & had no life anymore. He died in my arms. I never thought I could be that brave. I feel utterly numb & my eyes sting from crying. Cats with crf can live months or years when treated, I had my boy 49 days, that's all. He was 6 years 9 months old. I feel robbed. I'm totally devastated.
Sorry not to comment on everyones posts right now. It's all too raw so I'll probably check-in in a few days.

Hello Lisa
I often pop on here just to see how you're all getting on & see your posts on other threads.
I would just like to offer my utmost sympathy to you on the loss of your adored cat. I fully sympathise with your feelings & know so much how that loss can be so cruel & devastating. The loss of an animal cuts the heart very deep, especially as you had him for over 6 years, but the only saving grace is he's not suffering anymore & it takes a lot of courage to make that decision.
Just remember the good times you had with him. Take care x

Thoroughly agree. Our office junior is always talking about "fatties" then looking at me with a conscious look on her face, I have to pretend I'm not deeply hurtI really hate the word "fat". People use it so flippantly I actually find it a bit offensive. I was out for an Indian last year & my friends now husband saw two women walk in, both size 16/18 I'd say, and he said "good job we've ordered or all the food would be gone". I was niggled so asked what he meant & he explained he thinks anyone above a size 12 is fat. Bearing in mind there was me next to him, a size 12/14, it took everything not to hit him round the head with my naan!! I don't consider myself fat at all, I'm just chunky & a little overweight.*
Personally I can't stand when people say they're fat, and they're obviously smaller than me. What does that make me? Gigantic?! Bit of a slap in the face.
Right, rant over
Oh Latte, I feel for you, I really do. I wish I could come round and give you a big hug :wave_cry:
Was going to whinge about my inability to stick to plan, late period, fat arse etc, but seems shallow now. I'm so very sorry, Lisa, it's so hard to lose our pets but you know you did the right thing. A dignified, pain free death is the last gift we can give to them. Big hugs x

I just don't want to go tonight. Can't dress it up, that's the way it is. Why pay so somebody can tell me I've gained weight?
