I hear ya! keep falling off that wagon! Stick on this if you have the willpower, its worked for so many on here :)

Hi everyone, its really nice to hear from you all and hear your kind words, and your own personal stories. I look forward to getting to know you better as we go on this mad journey!!

have just added you. Would like to see what others are eating!

I find it harder to drink from a glass than a bottle. I keep a bottle next to me all day! you'll be surprised how fast you can get through it. Im on number 3 and its only 12pm here!

i know what you mean,i completley over cooked my lunch today, and there is way that will help me lose weight. I think I will have to adhere to the "its in your hands" principle if I want to get anywhere! I think its helpful to log into MFP just to acknowledge how much you are eating and force me to exercise! Will keep you…

thanks for the response!

Congrats on your new baby and well done for taking the steps to a new (old) you. Feel free to add me too, I need the support! Mar x

Well, it's normal to plateau a little so if you do, don't be too hard on yourself. If you've stuck to your targets then you won't have put on weight. xx

I struggle with this big time! I used to eat food in order of what I liked, starting with what I liked least, and that meant I always finished my meal! Not a good idea! Now I do it the other way around! Also, at the start of my meal, I try to get what I don't want to eat OFF my plate! I normally give it to my boyfriend and…

you're only human! and the fact that you understand that it was a once off, i think it'll be ok! Just be very careful for the rest of the week and get out for a run/walk! don't beat yourself up!

totally with you, feel free to add me!

grapefruit in the morning is great for getting the metabolism going! after a week or so, you start to look forward to it, I promise ha ha

You look fab! well done, you must be very proud!

I still have to have my morning latte! I use semi skimmed milk and one sugar, but reckon the weight would fall off me if I got rid of that!

oh good idea! I think shopping would be a good one!!! lol thanks!
