I am also starting afresh, kicking myself into gear and taking control. I am still going to weigh in at SW class but I am having a break from that diet. I am going to have a go at calories. I will have 1200 daily so that I can save for the wekend. I will exercise when I can, as time is in short supply and see what happens. I have still lost 6lb so thats something to build on:cool:

Thanks for that Carol! I needed a good talking to - I was starting to wonder why I am bothering.... You said what I should have been thinking - so I have printed your post out and have stuck it on my fridge - just to remind me why I am torturing myself like this.

Don't know what I'm going to do.... I lost my pedometer while I was out walking today.... a fitting end for it, I suppose!

Farewell the pedometer ..... I gave up using mine because I didn't like what it was telling me. I thought my walk home was at least 2 miles not a tiny 1.2 miles!

Can I join in the recommitment? I said in a different post that the day before the Easter holidays may seem a strange day to recommit to losing weight but when you've got to do it, you've got to do it :o

I just realised its only Wednesday, not Thursday, why is this week going to slow?!

There is such detemination here.... Phoebe every day we stick to the diet is a day closer to being at goal, even if we fall off a little along the way.

If you go off the rails over Easter, you will still have had a good few days... a little in credit ;)

Hi everyone

well for the first time since I started this journey I think this easter weekend will be that hardest one I have had to get through...all that chocolate and TOM is here too which is what is going to make it difficult. This is about the only time I really crave chocolate big time anymore and know that no matter how much I eat I am still never satisfied, so I am just going to have to try to stay strong and keep telling myself I don't want it...Yeah right..who am I trying to kid...of course I want it....what I should of said was I need to keep telling myself this year I can't have it...but next year when I am at my goal weight I can....If I give in now and gain a few pounds I am just adding to the weight I still have to lose...if I gain a few pounds when I am already at my goal weight I will only have to lose that few pounds....so in my opinion...it is worth giving up the chocolate this year to be able to really enjoy it next year :)

souds so easy to say that doesn't it...have to wait and see what happens when I am faced with the sight of it all on sunday :)

Hope you all stay strong

Ali :wave:

Grrrrr!!!!! No. 1. I suppose I shouldn't be weighing myself every morning - but I have got in to the Bridget Jones habit and I can't get out of it.... anyway I think that I am going to be bobbing around the 13st/12st 13lb mark for a week or two - just to really wind me up! Back to 13st today!! I hope I go back to 12st 13 for Monday's weigh in (or less). I don't know why its doing this I have kept to 1750 cals or under and I am doing more than enough exercise, so I can't figure it out.

Grrrrr!!!!! No. 2. I bumped in to an ex neighbour of mine yesterday.... she looked me up and down and said that I had lost a lot of weight (nice) then went on to ask if we were 'going to hear the patter of little feet'! Not thinking anything of it I said that we hoped to get our first child in about July (meaning foster child)..... and she said 'so you are 5 months pregnant are you? You look more than that!' BOO HOO!!!!!! I came straight home and had a good look in the mirror and she's right.
