I am being exceptional, I didn't know I could do it . I think because you guys are ethereal I feel as if you are watching me when I get to the fridge. I haven't been weighed again, saving that till Saturday. I have even cooked chips (fries) twice for my husband and bought him a massive Toblerone and had NON! Not just eating lettuce tho', couldn't go that far.

That is great Helen! I am resisting some of my favorite junk foods. We can do it!!

Gosh, you are all being so good! And Helen there are indeed lots of us all thinking about not going to the fridge.....!

Right now am still on track, breakfast was apple slices and a bit of brie, plus my usual black coffee. I am actually quite looking forward to Saturday and weighing myself because I am sure I must have lost a little bit at least.

I have gained 70 lbs. I want to join in with all of you, but I know I can't do it right now. My husband just had surgery and I'm so exhausted and overwhelmed trying to take care of him. But it's nice to know you're all here when I feel like I can join in.

I think we are going to be doing this for quite a while, Emily. When you are ready, we will still be here.

I do hope that your husband makes a good recovery, and that things improve for you soon.

Currently focusing on portion control. Today we had a bbq at work. Took one bite of the beans and decided they weren't worth the calories. That's a big step for me; normally I don't want to hurt someone's feelings so would've eaten it anyway. Baby steps everyone.

I am so upset today. My daughter brought scale back and when I got on it I weighted way more than I thought so I have no idea if I lost any lbs. So I have to wait until next Friday to weight in again. Keep up the work good everyone!

Just remember as you weigh yourselves tomorrow that losing weight slowly is much better than losing it quickly! One is much more inclined to keep it off that way. I think that a reasonable goal is no more than 2 lbs a week. I recently lost five lbs by cutting down on my food intake, at the very slow rate of one half to one pound every week or two. As with every endeavour, patience is key to long-term success!

Well this is somewhat annoying, I did lose a pound but I have gained it back again.

I know why it is, I am very short of sleep and have been drinking a lot of coffee, skipping meals and eating things at all hours of the night, trying to stay awake. Dealing with mental illness crisis with a family member, so all very necessary. None of that is going to help with weight loss, when I get very tired I tend to get water retention as well. Hopefully I will be able to actually lose some weight and keep it off once things settle down again.

You will probably make up for it next week, if this are calmer then. Because you have had the recent weight loss it will be that bit harder too, you are maintaining the weight loss and under difficult circunstances Calluna so well done.
Think my success was mainly because I have put at least that much on fairly recently it's going to get tougher but I'm SO up for it!
