Thanks so much everyone for your pearls of wisdom! I'd forgotten how great this site is and how friendly everyone is.

Lisajb74: that is exactly what i'm like, going over board and getting frustrated when i slip up! A plan for christmas is a good idea then I will be prepared and not let it take over this time round.

Dondons: I've got to admit I dont exercise! I used to walk to work for about 30mins but now I'm unemployed so I can't even do that. I think it's fair to say I've become quite de-motivated since I don't have a job to keep me going and I kinda turned to food as a comfort.
I live at the seaside now so in theory I should make the most of the active feel around here but it's hard to launch into it...

Peppermynthe: That's true actually, use what happened as experience to prevent it happening again. I did have a weigh in group which was each week but the people changed n I didn't feel quite so involved anymore n after a while I kinda slipped away n I think I've been deleted now! So much for a support gropu hey lol. I will look for another group tho, they are very helpful as you say you have to fess up all your sins to them!

Okiewoman: Yeah I'm taking it one day at a time, all you can do really isn't it. Makes it so much easier to cope with too. Gotta get to where I want to be first but yeah that's a good idea, I don't even know how I didn't notice the lbs slipping on.. must've been avoiding the scales lol.

Sasquatch27: I don't quuiiiiite follow the game analogies there but I think I get the general idea lol. Same here I didn't notice the weight had creeped back on either! Thank you, I'll keep my eye on the prize n I WILL win :)

Thanks again everyone! Hope your all doing ok with your weight loss if you need any help I am in your debt now I think! lol xx

I'm 19 and my number is 0. Still tryna find someone who i trust and feel comfortable enough to let go with.

Its scary to even think about it i dont know how im gunna get over this hurdle... any advice??

I find it too that now at night you tend to want to eat whereas in the summer you tend not to.

It must be that we stay indoors more cos its too cold outside, we aren't moving around much and there's less to do so you get bored and.... eat!

And like you say there's the holiday foods which are usually calorific so that doesn't help!

So not looking forward to the new year weight loss rush but don't you find that you don't think about that until after christmas and after you've splurged out a little bit too much lol. Gotta love the holidays!!! xx

Heya,

So this is our new weigh in thread yeah?

Hello to new people that have joined!

I'm lucy, 18, female, UK, started at 185 but thankfully am now 168.
My goal weight eventually is 154 but for the time being it is 164.

Great idea dinarly and welcome mitt, coralhart, reaper, and liquiddiet.

I'll weigh in now as i'm here but if have time will check in tomorrow too.

168- 2lb loss from last week hurrah!!

Gd luck everyone and so glad it's all back up and running!!!

xx

Hey I'm still here guys just been bit busy. Am 166lbs unfortunately!

I got inspired by this group and made one for CC teenagers.

What has happened to everyone else though??

I love going cycling but dont do it any more i think i might start again :) are you glad you got one dinarly?

xx

Wow I'm overwhelmed by everyones help.

Sure seems that there are a lot of people who have been in the same situation.

I'm definately going to take the advice and set myself mini goals and change one thing for 3 weeks and then set another goal.

Thanks again for everyones help and it is true that we do it to ourselves but also its as though there is someone else who takes over when you have a binge episode.

Good luck to everyone else who is trying to overcome binges. CC is such a great site and thanks again to everyone.

Ooh thanks, sounds a bit complicated with increasing protein and carbs etc. I have no idea how much of each food group i'm eating just count cals... maybe thats where im going wrong?!

Are workout dvds any good as an exercise??

Wow 27lbs thats fab, good luck on the rest and thanks again! xx

Wahoo finally lost! Am 166lbs but its the time of the month so that might be why. Am thinking positive though and loss is still loss

Hows everyones snacking going?

How about people list a few (healthy) things that they like to snack on??

I'm one for cashew nuts which i know they are really calorific but sometimes i reeeeally fancy some! Snackajacks are great; rice crackers basically and they have a massive range so could have some popcorn or some salt and vinegar rice snacks. Also i drink a lot of tea... but maybe thats because im english hehe does fill me up well though so its a good tip.

Have a good week everyone! x

I know what you mean, it doesnt feel worth it and i like how when i wake up in the morning i feel all fresh and not full up with food.

They do say though that breakfast gets your metabolism going and so that aids weight loss.

Hope thats some sort of help. It's not the end of the world if you dont have breakfast but in my opinion eating at 10 or 11 can be pretty much classed as breakfast anyways!

Hey, well it takes time so keep going!

I remember when i started back in december (not the most ideal time i know) that even though i was sticking to my calorie intake i wasn't loosing lbs but then i did sart to loose and it it started fairly quickly to begin with.

I don't know about the science stuff with weight loss but i do know from personal experience that it takes a couple of weeks to get going but it is SO worth it.

Its great that you have made the desision to do this and also great that you can incorporate your kids into your excersise as this will spur you on.

Good luck with it!! x

Blimey this sure has got everyone talking!

Thanks , especially alibuch  lol that's good to know.. if i do get really desperate.

Thanks for the advice though everyone, im feeling better bout it knowing that 1- i'm not the only one! 2-its okay to wait and 3- that its not a big deal!

its not so much the fact that ive met him online its that i'll act an idiot or something. That he wont like me or i dont even know to be honest!

Like the suggestion of a film, never really thought of it like that but its a gd point!

xx

Vicereine, I've met people online before but never had the guts to meet them in real life.

Theres this guy whos 19 who i met on myspace. Turns out we both went to the same highschool and have some of the same mates! He is really sweet (not to mention gorgeous) and hes been really interested.
Maybe too interested though, really flirty etc and it kinda put me off cos i got embarrased!! So i didnt meet with him even though i wanted to and im sure it could have gone on to be something.

Maybe im too afraid, and thats why nothings happened for me yet.

Well im not quiiiite happy with myself yet, lifeizsweet so maybe once i've sorted that it'll happen for me!

Cellulitedelight, i dont mind the waiting its just when friends are talking about boufriends etc i cant even comment and it sucks. Im hanging in there tho dont worry.

thanks xx

thanks guys!

Im really bad with exercise... i dnt do any lol!!

rochelle your not the only one dont worry
