Hello Choc, Jelly, Sarah and SR,
Choc,
I found the opposite when I am single, I don't bother cooking for myself and end up with beans on toast or a baked potato and loose loads of weight! When I cook for a partner or others I eat while I cook, and then the meal and pile the weight on! lol
Sounds like things have not been easy but pleased to hear you seem happy with your new oh
I have used weight watchers, and i think they are good, discipline yourself to write stuff down, but you can write down things you were temped to eat but didn't also, then add all those up and see what you saved yourself from! it helps keep you positive. I have used Food Focus online its a free think you put all your details in, how much you want to loose, etc and it works out what you can have, you then use it as a food diary and it tells you what you have left, I find i need to log it like that, i am logic and it appeals to the obvious side in me!
Good Luck xx
Jelly,
I want to get to 8st 5lb, that is my happy weight, I am quite little and comfy in that and it gives a few lb each way, its that last stone that keeps coming and going!
I have Rosie blocking kinect is my big problem, I need to get dh to take the girls out so I can do it!
Sarah,
OMG, you remind me I bought the 30 day shred months ago, and it is still sealed in the dvd drawer
I find Rosie won't let me do that sort of thing, she wouldn't sit and watch, may think about it but sticking with diet atm, I am still in festive food mode, hopefully i can force feed the kids the rest of the christmas food this weekend leaving a blank canvas (empty cupboards) for the healthy stuff!
Good luck with the shred, let me know how it goes!
SR, Yes, Christmas has done me no favors at all with my weight!
I pick at stuff the same way, just sweet after sweet, then don't eat meals! I find pizza so easy to eat loads of!
Yes I am sure you will do it again, it is actually quite nice after about a week of diet it feels like an old friend is back!(I feel bloated and horrible so need to eat healthy foods again!)
I am more familiar with the diet mode than anything else, although I have to confess to being a lazy dieter, and not eating all day then having healthy food in the evening, I know it does me no good, sometimes i am so rushed all day its the only way i can eat and sometimes i just find it easier to do it that way, I expect it stinks of some sort of dissorder or other! 9its slimfast without the shakes
):haha
Anyway good luck all, I am starting on Monday, healthy eating, and will see about doing anything else later, one thing at a time! lol

why don't you try creating a dieting journal to keep track of everything? I know that really helped me along and the support from other women in that section encouraged me to keep going and by writing down everything that i eat and the cals I know exactly where I am with things.
not quite sure how she only had 3 days off work
for now xx
, cutting back on carbs and going for lean protein and veg - all that boring horrible stuff that works.
