    Good afternoon everyone!

    I hope you have all had good days so far - i feel like im getting back into the swing of things - i have a very positive outlook today - gym again tonight! woo!

    Foodwise i have made some good choices.. and avoided eating that muffin that is sitting across from my desk! :angry: Soooo annoying seeing it! Kinda glad im not a muffin girl.. if it was a cake - or cookie.. well thats another story!

    Im glad you are all setting yourselves mini goals this week.. it really helps having one! mine is once again to NOT overeat at the weekend like i always do! :laugh:

    P.S Erika, i hope you and your OH have a lovely birthday evening! Enjoy the lasagne - very jealous! :flowerforyou:

    Hi Everyone, Its my day off today and the sun is shinning!!! cant be bad!! I think Im lucky working weekends (well in a diet sort of way) as I don't have the same temptations!!! Last night I tried a Zumba class for the first time, It was really good and I enjoyed it so will go again!! have also been doing the shred, i'm on Level 3 Day 26 so only 5 more days and I will finish!!! then I might start again and try and copy Natalie (who is very good and does all the more advanced moves!!). Good luck to you all will post again soon.

    Hey everyone! Happy Wednesday! Haha

    I'm back after my long weekend in Devon for Mother's Day. I dunno who it is but I just can't seem to control myself in my mum's house...anyway I've totally had my fill of fattening horrible food and am sick to the teeth of it! I'm definitely back on the bandwagon today and I'm consciouss I've said that a few times over the past two weeks - ahem - I really mean it now, it's a slippery slope from here and I'm undoing all my hard work! I think my fight with the scales at the gym a couple weeks ago really knocked me for six and upset me which has started this unhealthiness!! Enough is enough!
    I hope you all had a great weekend (I know that was a while ago now haha :laugh: ) the weather was amazing in Plymouth :heart: Oh I do love to be beside the sea!!!!!!!!!!!
    Right pound a week here I come! :drinker:

    Loving all the UK peeps in this thread!!

    I'm fairly new here so I'm just starting.....
    Had a birthday last week (big 3-0 eek!) so that was tough with all the gifts chocs and offers of drinks.
    Still lost 1.6lbs last week though, good times.

    Hiiii Mimi! Lovely to see you back on the board.. Missed your face! :bigsmile:
    I had the exact same frame of mind when it came to monday - i wanted to get right back on track, no slacking.. so its wednesday now and i can happily say i have stuck to being good.. no snacking - apart from healthy snacks of course! :wink:
    I hope you had a lovely weekend though, asides from the "fattening foods" im sure they tasted amazing!!

    Off to Nottingham :smooched: *fingers crossed* this weekend, so i will be trying to watch what i eat.. :huh: Could be difficult... Just as long as im good this week then im not going to worry too much - back on saturday evening!

    Love K x

    Hi everyone, Hope everyone's doing good. Got my weigh in tonight, fingers crossed. I'm doing quite well on the not comfort eating front but the nights can be quite difficult now I'm on my own (I've not lived on my own before!)

    Happy St Patrick's Day if you're celebrating :drinker:

    I'm going on holiday to Marbella this year, me and my fella probably wouldnt have gone away so perhaps it's just as well that we've split up! Going with my Mum, step Dad, Aunty and cousin, should be a good one :smile:

    Good luck on the weigh in.

    We are off to Aruba this year (that is the reason for losing some weight) and I can't wait. I've never been to Aruba before so I am looking forward to finding out all about it. I hope it is as good as it looks in the brouchure. Steve x

    Hi everyone :flowerforyou:

    Thank you Katherine for the timely reminder of how near ? my holiday is. (panic) 19 weeks sounds ages but it will probably fly past. I am of to the South of France for a fortnight with Hubby, Kids & Parents.

    Is it unreasonable to expect to lose 2lbs a week or am I setting myself up to fail?
    Does anyone else get days where they are really hungry? I have had my lunch - and normally that does me, but today I am sitting here thinking I'm still hungry & want more. I daren't go down to the kitchen here at work, cos it's someones birthday & there are cream cakes :devil:
    So far I have resisted :laugh:

    I have days when I am very hungry and all I want to do is eat and eat. Sometimes I feel that I simply have to eat so I do, but I try to keep it as healthy as possible. Other days I struggle to eat my calories becasue I just do not feel hungry.

    A 2lb a week loss is ok to aim for but as long as you are 1-2lbs a week that will be good.
