    The shop I got it from though sometimes their clothes do come up slightly bigger. I would love a size 12 pair of jeans again, the ones I am wearing which had got too small on me, now fit but a little too big, but not sure I'm small enough to into a 12 comfortably yet.

    Hey loves!

    so I have just finished reading the ****8100d 5u6@r d13t book, loads of the ladies in the office are on it and doing really well so I wanted to check what the hype was about. I have to say, even if you aren't interested in going on it you should read the book , it was so interesting!
    I think I am going to get myself a plan and attempt it because it does actually look really good. lots of benefits as far as I can tell, and variety in meals, and because it isn't low fat you can actually eat cheese and dairy etc

    Walked from cubs to football last night. I normally go in the car and wait while OH plays but i arrived at the car just as he finished so worked out ok.

    Then went for a swim this morning. That was hard on my shoulder. Hopefully it will get easier the more i do it. I was annoyed my swimming cap idea failed. My hair was drenched!

    OH told me to put my goggles under the cap so I'm going to try with them over.

    There wasn't a smaller size, just junior and senior. Not sure i fancy a kids one but may have to if that doesn't work. Hate chlorine hair!

    Finally plucked up the courage to weigh myself this morning and I've lost 1kg! :-) Very happy with this, just need to keep the momentum going and hope this Sunday results in a loss too...might be hard as I have an all-you-can-eat Chinese booked for Friday!

    OH said I had a double muffin tonight. I have lost almost half a stone and 2 inches.
    It's the weekend and I only let me drink of a weekend and have stopped drinking in the week trying to be better but he said I shouldn't because I've had a bad week. The only bad meal I've had is the dinner he wanted to cook yesterday with cream etc in it.
    Now I feel guilty having one glass of wine. Usually I have a few but stay in my daily calories.

    He just left for work and apparently it was a joke but it's really made me wonder why I bother..

    My instructor said that's one of the hardest places to get rid of it as well. Also my daughter told me yesterday that when we were sat at the dinner table the night before, she thought my face had really slimmed down.

    I wish I had taken a pic before I started, say about this time last year, but I never. To be honest I don't think I thought it would have such a good effect on me. I've tried finding pics on the book face to try and compare but most of them are of my head only, I think you can see the difference in my face though and even though I don't feel like there is much difference body wise, I know that actually is as the clothes are a lot loser.

    Feeling really good about this week, I've managed to go through the weekend having 10 syns per day and that even included h0t ch0c0lat3 and br0wn13s too. Tried the d13t c0k3 chicken yesterday for tea, it was surprisingly nice, planning to do a chi11i later on in the week as OH is going for a work meal out at one of those all you can eat places.

    Went back on my cross trainer the other day couldn't even last 5 mins :( any tips on improving my fitness ladies please I really want to tone up and lose weight at the same time.

    Weigh in day today, could be interesting i haven't exactly been good this week. This is my last weigh in before heading back to work so i'll have to do it on my own for four months, I'm just going to weigh myself once a week and put £5 in a pot that way hopefully i'll lose a bit and save some money.

    I went swimming again this morning. Was hard and in pain after so will see if I can do it again tomorrow.

    Hey Folks
    BSD works a bit differently they actually encourage weighing more often because it holds you more accountable, which for me works!
    Weighed back in this morning and the weight is going back down so I am down 3lb since Saturday, If I hadn't weighed in and left it thinking I had a gain I would of gone of the rails as I was so demotivated so glad I did :)

    Onward and downward!

    I can weigh 7lbs more by moving the scales by a 90 degree angle - I would also agree with the others that you should weigh once a week - maybe start Saturday and take it from there. I can see that you are happier that it is on the down again but weigh in so frequently is going to demoralise you and could actually make you become obsessed, it isn't healthy. As long as you are being healthy though that is the main thing and if you have an unexpected gain don't beat yourself up.

    well done on the loss though x

    Well I weighed in tonight after a week away in Maderia - and have put on 4 1/2 lbs

    Its not good. My dress has arrived and I need to go and try it on tomorrow .

    I'm now almost half a stone heavier than I was when I ordered and was measured for my dress.
    My whole shape has also changed after changing my contraception.

    Fingers crossed for my dress tomorrow

    Looking forward to becoming the 3rd and last Mrs McLauchlan

    Hope the dress fitting went okay Maxine. I can understand why you are stressed about it but you were on holiday to enjoy/relax so try not to worry too much, there is plenty of time before the wedding.

    Although I have been keeping up to date on everyone's progress on here I have updated people as I haven't been that on plan last couple of weeks -12lbs in total and that stone award is in sight but I'm looking at gain on Sat. Just looking forward to a drawing a line under this week and starting a fresh week, going to buy a new diary to keep me on track next week. I have 2 weeks until a city break with my OH and I want that award in the bag by then!

    Only had a 1/2lb loss last night after a 1.5lb gain the week before, so frustrated at myself but I was just eating rubbish and I knew it.

    Wizbit- I too am starting the bsd- I didn't realise but a lot of the food I eat is low fat eg yoghurts and with all the sweetnersxare worse for you- just bought full fat Greek yoghurt- a load of berries and almonds for breakfasts- I usually have a banana but they really high in sugar- lunches I have soups anyway and pretty much the squash soup i make is healthy and similar to the book anyway- I usually make a batch on Sunday that does me until Thursday- Friday I'm going with the no carb ploughmans- evening meals think I will go for things like chicken parma, duck, lamb chops, hotpot, bol with spiralised squash and cod with home made pesto- I love veg anyway and I don't really each much bread or pasta anymore so hoping I will be ok- I do love my potatoes tho- trying bulgar wheat do, love cous cous but as this is out bulgar seems a goid alternative- let's see how I get on!
