Hi Banks... Just to let you know that despite completely forgetting when I joined your challenge, I have still managed to stay away from the scale.. Instead, I`m focusing on your advice re: my last post and trying to change my eating habits. Today I went for a swimming session at the gym and ate chicken and vegetables and…

I just can`t get into the pace of healthy eating. Every now and then I have a bowl of salad but on the whole I`m still eating complete rubbish. Everyday my stats tell me that I`m pushing myself into starvation mode but I don`t know how to break the habit. Any ideas? Anyone else in a similar situation?

Still off the scale... Not such a big issue for me anymore, I think Ive got over the craving stage. Will hang in there for my promised two weeks....

Lost count of the days I`m off the scale, but hey thats a good thing I guess? Banks....Well done and congratulations on lovely wife telling you that you are looking thin.... Thats a wonderful pep up especially with all the guts and willpower needed NOT to get on the scale.I`ve not been on the scale since I joined your…

:sad: Viviakay, I`,m so sorry to hear about your ouchy back....I do hope it mends soon. 5 calories will not make a huge so keep with it and don`t get scared:flowerforyou:

I agree. What a stunner:smile:

Brilliant work... keep it up and well done. You can do it :bigsmile: :flowerforyou:

Day four over and done with and NO no no!!! I have not stepped on the scale:smile: I really really really want to but when I see the scale I just close my eyes and think of England (or so the saying goes) ha ha ha!!!! well done everyone.:flowerforyou:

Well done.....:smile: :happy: :drinker: :flowerforyou: An inspiration to us all.. Keep it off now and congratulations on your forthcoming wedding

:flowerforyou: I have to agree with Banks:smile:

Day three of diet diary and not cheated once. Drank loads of water today so jelly wobbling considerably:drinker: The diary really brings home the fact that I eat a whole lot of rubbish, so plan to attempt major change in habits as of tomorrow....When I see everything I`ve consumed in a day, its quite a shock. Do we really…

Hi Christine....:flowerforyou:

Hi and thanks for the soup... sounds delish:smile:

OMG what a divine dog..... Thank you so much for the welcome and positive remarks re: my water. God help me, I`m trying despite the fact that drinking huge amounts of water is not my idea of yummy! Managed 7 today.. :flowerforyou:

Australia is one of…

Hiya fro Cape Town.. I`m new too... Day 2 here and already Ive been made to feel most welcome. Seems like a great group and reading some of the posts, they seem to know what they are talking about. So on that note......Loads of water, loads of fibre and try to keep within your calorie quota. Lots of cardio and walk walk…

HAPPY HALLOWEEN to everyone. Its just after 10pm here and Im about to sit down with horror flicks and NO SNACKS or CHOCS or anything yummy... Just my pre bedtime coffee and yet another glass of the dreaded water:sad: Hope you all having a wicked time:smile:

Day Two of food diary...eek! But I have been true to myself and all here by putting everything in. Its pretty hard but I`m already finding this site really helpful. End of Day one of promise not to weigh myself and somehow I managed to keep away from the scale....also pretty hard, but making promises to people you have…

Hi Banks. Ive just joined up and the site looks fantastic. I love the fact that I can keep records and then chat about progress. COUNT ME IN... but I think I can only manage 2 weeks without looking. Any longer would drive me mad.. Lots of luck Petal:smile:

Wishing you lots of luck....:bigsmile:
