Cool, I love making soup, but mines done in a big pot, are they easy to use those soup makers? Do you just throw it all in and away you you go!

What do people find best for losing weight ww or sw? X

natalie2614 - Thats really good, I may have to invest in one, the way I make a vegetable soup is sooooooo long winded! I'm going to check out soup makers now. H2B will probably think it's a waste of money but not once he realises how easy it to use!

Hello everyone, I hope you all had a lovely xmas.

I managed to put on 10lb over xmas :/ not good, however me and h2b are going on a health kick from Jan 1st so it should hopefully come back off! x

I put on 3.5 lb over Christmas. New start from today!

ah well your 'xmas gain's' dont seem to bad ladies. well done!! i dont know how I managed 6-7lb to be honest!! Well, randomly started again on Thurs due to the fact im a WW helper and go back next weds so thought to try and do some damage limitation... and then when weighed myself thought i definitely need to. but last 2 days i have eaten my 3 meals properly but then raided biscuits and chocolates :(
trying to wean myself off now, getting OH to be strict with me and whenever i have the urge to contact him! like yesterday i didnt even want anything and just sat and ate 5 or 6 biscuits... and regretted it straight after. why do it? xmas is done for me, we're not doing anything for NY so need to get back on it!!
Weighed myself this morn and gone down 2lb since thurs so thats a light in the right direction! want to try and get as much off as possible before official weigh in on Weds... ill be ok with a 2-3lb gain then. ugh!

x

Back out for my run tomorrow, hopefully I can work off all the chocolate lol.

This year I've been pretty good with eating, I haven't over indulged that much the only extra thing I've been eating is the choccies and thats it really.

I have had an awful day for dieting! Had a pub lunch with friends then came home and started scoffing my way through a massive box of thorntons chocolates!! I cannot do this while there are Christmas chocolates still lurking in the house! And now it's my time of the month... so feeling pretty hopeless!! I will try and be good from Tuesday onwards (no chance of avoiding alcohol and nibbles on New Years Eve!) I have bought some slim fast in preparation.. so a week of good and then I will step on the scales. If I weigh myself now I am likely to throw a wobbly and eat even more chocolate to make myself feel better!! Ha ha! Under eight months to go and no sign of my dream dress zipping up :(

Hey all well im making a start on my fitness again today, last time i was at the gym was end of sept eekk thats terrible when i look at it but it was because i was doing so much overtime for the wedding i never had time to go but now im like right i have to make time!!! so im off for a gym and swim today and will step on those scales and see what the truth is!!! wish me luck lol

Effort to run today, I can't be bothered but I really need to do it.

Well thats me back from the gym unfortunetly i didnt get for a swim today as a child had done a poo in the pool, any way i still stepped on those scales and for those of you who already have me on their MyFitnessPal will know ive now lost 1KG over xmas!!. the last time i weighed myself i was 80kg that was in sept but i am now 79kg and when i started all this i was 82kg. so thats a total of 3kg am very proud of myself hahaha

haha definetly id of hate to of been in when that happened yuk!! yeah you do have me on mfp ive just been looking through your profile lol well i think it says on mfp 3kg is 6lbs as it says on my home page ive lost 6lbs which actually sounds better haha

lol no it was you had completed your food diary and im running out of ideas for things to eat lol

I did my run hooray!!!!

Yea, it's always an effort at first to go out the door but once I start I'm fine and get into it.

lol, I've got to get H2B into it in the next week or so, he said he would come running with me!

When I think about exercise I think of excuses of why i can't do it at this or that time but if I don't think about it and just get into my gear and do it I'm absolutely fine and enjoy it.

Got my new trainers today. That means I can start running tomorrow need to start working off the chocolate x

That's not too bad so well done, I'm on MFP I'm phoenix8633 so you can add me if you want to. I don't know how to add on MFP.

EDIT: I just worked it out lol

There was a woman in my class lost 2.5lb!! even she couldnt believe she'd lost, might encourage me to be good if i have buddies on mfp, a bit of competition to spur me on

Just accepted your request thanks!

Coolies thanks just accepted!
