Ok so it's weigh in day and I gained again! I just keep going up and down and up again. I am at 271.8 lbs. I gained 2.4. YUCK! lol It had to be all the chocolate!
Now, since it is a new week, I am ready to really start this diet again! I have realized I really don't want to gain my 40 back or ever ever hit 300 lbs again! Once I lose for a couple of weeks I will begin to see the loss more and start loving being on my diet again! It feels so good to lose! And I have felt really yucky lately. I am always tired and I am not energized at all so I know this is what I need to do to feel better.
So, right here, in front of my new buddy lol, I am vowing to get back on the wagon! I have to do this and I know I can do this!
I am going to walk my nephews at least 3-4 times a week.
I am going to drink my 64 ounces of water every day.
I am going to eat smaller portions and stay in my 1500 calorie goal.
I am also staying away from candy. I know it is what killed me.
I bought some fudgecicles that are sugar free and only 40 calories so those should help my chocolate cravings. I also bought some rice cakes with just a little chocolate on them. They are delicious.
So, here goes nothing...again!

| I went for a walk today! I walked 1 and 1/4 miles! Yay me! It felt so good! I am very excited to be on my diet again! I can't say that I ate extremely healthy, but I haven't have any chocolate! lol So it's looking up.

Hey hun, sorry I've a bit slack on visiting in here. Life is a bit crazy at the moment at work. Someone has given notice and is leaving the end of next week, the new person Ive been training didnt turn up today, so now got to find someone else! And I have a sneaking suspicion that another girl is going to interviews! Argh!
We are also waiting to hear about a new house that we might move to, it's a fair bit cheaper than the one we are in and will help us clear our debts and credit cards.
How are you getting along? Sticking to your walking plan and drinking all your water I hope! I like chocolate too, but it is very naughty!
My flower arrived yesterday for my wedding. Well a big box of artificial ones that I have to try to make into pretty bouquets now (I am not artistic at all!). But is the cheapest option. Loads cheaper than fresh ones and getting someone else to do them.
As for the weight loss, I went to my slimming world class last night and got my first half stone (7lbs) weight loss award. Weighed in there as 243lbs. Then weighed myself this morning and was 241.9lbs. So I am hoping I can hit 240lbs for this weeks weigh in on Friday. Id be so chuffed to see the lower side of 240lbs.
Oh, Scott came home with a Nintendo Wii at the weekend from his sister, so I treated myself to a Wii Fit. Have you got them over there? Or are they a British thing? One of the games is Hula Hooping, which really burns and I think I must be doing it wrong cause my back is killing! lol. There is a dance game as well, which is very funny to try to keep up with. Not sure how much exercise you actually do with it, but its much more fun than running on a treadmill...lol!
Promise to try to get on here more often, I can't access it at work all the time and my computer at home is painfully slow! But promise to try my best! K x

Where are you?! 
Scott has just offered to go out and get indian for us for tea, but I know I shouldn't be having it! I have put on 3lbs since last Tuesday at my slimming world class.

Sorry! I have been depressed! lol It is getting so hard to get bacxk on my diet and I hate it because I know I can do it! I have done it before! Anyways, I am back now and trying hard again for a new week. Life has been crazy for me too! Four people have quit over a two week span so we are super busy.
Now, for my diet, I have started to take weight loss vitamins. They are completely safe and just help with energy and stuff. Yesterday I started my day by weighing in at 275.6 lbs which means I gained 3.8... Then I got motivated, ate really good the whole day, and took a walk! Now, today we are going to the fair which means funnel cakes and sloppy joes! lol But I will be walking around a lot too!
I also have a big box of "aqua" colored roses, but looking at them now, they are just not PERFECT! lol So, I may sell them and buy some lilies! Lilies are the flower I really want but I cannot find them in aqua. I am also going with fake flowers for the price differece.
We do have Wiis here. I love them! My brother has one and it is a lot of fun. I really want to get a TreadClimber by Bowflex, but money is tight right now.
I am trying real hard to stay back on my diet. I am drinking water, taking vitamins, and eating less. I am also taking walks with my mom. It's a little more than a mile. I hope it helps! I really want to lose weight!
I have an idea. I think we need to try something different than just chatting about our diets. We need to share some goals or reasons. Let's make a list of reasons why we want to lose weight. Maybe if we share them with each other we can use each other's reasons to meet our own. I'll do three then you can do three.
1. I want to look great for my wedding and hve more variety in dresses.
2. I want to be a healthy mom some day and be able to conceive.
3. I want to not get winded just climbing into my mom's van! lol

Hey hun, good to hear from you. I am struggling too and beating myself up!
My flowers are roses and lilies too! I have picked Stargazer Lilies, google them. They are lush! They are also,pink...I dont own a single pink item of anything. I am so not a pink girl, but my two bridesmaids love it and I dont think me being feminine and girly for one day is going to kill me. Everyone will be shocked, cause I am quite a tomboy. I dont even own a dress and I always have my hair scrapped back. So I am hoping when I appear and walk down that iasle there are going to be a few shocked people.
I remember seeing some beautiful artificial aqua lilies like mine somewhere, I will see if I can find them again, send you the website.
I weighed in this morning and I am still 3lbs up. I need to get motivated again, I think I may go swimming agin tomoz morning before work. I have to drag myself there, but I always feel really good afterwards.
Do you ever read magazines or watch stuff on tv and see people and just long so so bad to be like them? I do. I sit there and I can't describe now 'desperate' I feel to be thin! But when it actually comes to it, I can't channel that horrible feeling into motivation?! Do you know what I mean?
My reasons for losing weight........ummm, there are so many!
1. To be slim for my wedding of course!!!
2. To stop being ashamed of myself and to be able to walk into a room of strangers with confidence.
3. So I can be a happy person. People think I am bubbly, but its just a front. But I know that if I was slimmer, it'd have more confidence and I wouldnt have to pretend.
4. I also want to be a fit, healthy mum that can join in with all the fun and games.
What date is your wedding planned for? It's 56 weeks until mine. Just think 1lb a week would be 4 stone lost! lol
Anyways, I will sign out now. Sorry if I was a bit morbid! lol. x

Right young lady, I think you and I need to step our butts up a gear!
Monday morning and I didnt weigh this morning, I know I have put on a ew lbs this week, but when I didnt want to spoil my good mood, so I didnt get the scales out.
I've had a huge coffee this morning, with sweetener and skimmmed milk and a big bowl of cheerios. I've got half a melon for my lunch and I've got salad that needs using up for tea. When I get home from work I have to scrub down and disinfect my dogs kennels (cause they smell a little bit). So if all goes to plan I should have had a good day food wise, with some exercise as well.
I started playing with the flowers yesterday, they look great! I kinda wish I was gettgin married in a couple of months, but I need the year to lsoe the weight!
Hope you have a good day. K x

I've been having Subway a lot lately! Do you have those over there? It's a sub sandwich shop. I like being able to get a big sandwich for little calories!
We went to the fair and I carried my 2 year old nephew and walked around all night! Lots of exercise there! I haven't done much since though. I weighed myself yesterday just for fun and I was 274.2 lbs. That means I lost about 1.4 lbs in four days. So, I feel pretty good about getting back on track this week.
I was playing with cakes last night. Me and my maid of honor made a tiered tye-dyed cake just for fun. We practiced with fondant and made roses our of it and stuff. It was fun.
Anyways, I hope we both keep up on our diets! I really wanna look pretty in our dresses. We will look great no matter what though! lol I do not own a dress either. lol My fiance has rarely even seen me with my hair out of a ponytail! lol He will be amazed!
Anyways, I'll stop talking now! Good luck on your diet! I know we can do it!

Congrats! I havent even weighed myself the past few days :0(
I know I put on about 4/5lbs last week and havent really been trying to shift it again. So I didnt weigh this morning, weighing doesnt help me. Cause if Ive put on I get depressed and eat, if Ive lost then I slack off. So either way I shouldnt weigh unless its weigh day!
Today I have got a nice healthy lunch with me. Ryvita, cream cheese, ham and cucumber. All very healthy! With grapes, melon and yoghurt.
Scott is away with work until Thursday evening, so I can make the most out of him not being about. I probably wont eat in the evenings while he isnt here, or just have cereal or something. He likes a big evening meal so I normally eat loads in the evening even though Im not hungry. Just cause its there.
Right, Ive got some deadlines I need to meet.
1. My step sister is getting married in just under 5 weeks. I want to be into the next stone bracket. Im thinking I must be back up around 249lbs? So I want to lose a stone (14lbs) by then. I knwo thats a lot, but Im sure it is achievable?
2. I am going away to Portugal with work in November for a week. To attend some seminars with international suppliers (basically just a jolly up for the directors). That is in 15 weeks time, so I would like to lose 2 stone (28lbs) by then. As I think that is probably what I have put on since they last saw me two years ago. I dont want people to be whispering about how much weight I have put on!
3. My wedding of course, though not setting a goal for that! Just as much as possible...lol!
Oh and we are both being slack on here, we should come on at least every other evening to clock in. x

So, it's the middle of weigh in week and I feel really good about it! I have done my walking about every other day, sometimes a few days in a row. I need to drink more water, but I'm eating pretty darn good! I agree about weighing in. If I see a good weigh in, I slack off. lol We should try to avoid that! Jerremy is actually helping me out alot! He is trying to eat healthy with me and keep any not healthy foods to himself! lol
I will write some deadlines too!
1. I would really like to lose 15 lbs by Halloween, October 31st. I want to be able to take me nephew to lots of houses and my reward will be to steal a few pieces of candy! lol You guys celebrate Halloween, right? And yes, your first goal is acheivable! I have lost 15 lbs in less than 4 weeks before so yes, it is, and YOU CAN DO IT!
2. We have a large Christmas party on December 24th every year. I don't see my family tooo often so I want to lose weight by then. I would like to lose at least 25 lbs by then. I have only lost about 1 lb per week so I am going to keep my goals really low. lol
3. My wedding! My goal is gonna be as much as possible too, but I am think about 50 lbs! I would like to lose more than that, but we will see! I really hope we stay friends until our weddings! lol
Yes, we need to get on here more! I love hearing from you! Good luck with the weight loss!
P.S. I love love love your bouquets!!!!!!

Which is better than it has been the last few days. Not sure what my lowest ahs been on here since I started, I think it might have been 242lbs, something like that.
Will drop in later for a longer post! xxx

I weighed in today. I am 271.4 lbs! That's exactly a 3 lb loss since last friday! I guess my walks really are paying off. I feel so great for losing for two weeks in a row again! I haven't had two consecutive losses in about 2 months. It has been down one week and back up the next.
My goal for this week is to lose the extra 1.5 in order to be in the next ten pound bracket of the 260s. Mt lowest weight throughout my journey has been 263.5 so I really need to get to that weight and then keep going. I'm not sure what I am using for motivation lately but it has ben working.
I am very excited again. I feel so much better being able to say that I am changing my lifestyle. I am so glad I lost today! I was thinking I was going to gain. I had been baking cakes and taste-testing them again this week. lol
My goals are to walk 3-4 times this week, drink 64 oz of water a day, and keep eating healthy. I am super motivated so let's hope for at least a 1-5 lb loss this week!!
Anyways, I hope you got a loss as well! Good luck this coming week!

Well when I weighed in this week at my slimming world class, I was up 3.5lbs from the time before...oops! I weighed in at 247.5lbs, but weighed this morning and I was back down to 244lbs, need to drop another 1lb to be back where I was. I am bouncing around still, need to crack on. I am trying to get the motivation up to go swimming tomorrow mornign before work. I havent been for a couple of weeks, once I get back into it I know I will be fine, just need to get here...lol!
Well done you for losing two weeks in a row! It's feels great once you get back on track again doesnt it? It's just so disheartening when you arent! lol
This week, I am going to try to drink less coffee and more water! x

Hello! Well I didnt go swimming this morning...and I havent drunk any liquid other than about 4 coffees...but I did have a very good breakfast and dinner! Had 3 nectarines, half a melon and, about 100 grapes and a yoghurt for my dinner. Well they had to be used up as they were all verging on going bad if I didnt use them up soon.
Not sure what to do for tea? Scott has got tikki massala that I cooked him last night. I made sure there wasnt enough for me otherwise I would have tucked right in! lol. Hmmm...what to do, what to do. I've got some potatoes to use up? And baked beans...or an omelette..Im making myself hungry now.
Home time in 25 mins! Yay x

Hey girlie! It's ok that you didnt go swimming. It might make it easier to do something at home. Waking up is hard enough. Let alone, driving somewhere to go swimming, and then going to work. That's no fun. But if you woke up and did something at home, or went for a walk late at night like I do, maybe it would help.
Also, I LOVE COFFEE. lol But I used to use about 6 creams and 5 sugars. lol which is a lot of calories. I have learned to love coffee with only splenda (a sugar substitute). Therefore, it has little to no calories. Coffee isn't that bad for a diet, if you skip the cream and sugars or just use a little.
I have been doing pretty good on eating. I have been way too busy to eat much. lol I have not walked this week yet though. Anyways, I have to go do homework now.
Good Luck!

Ah, Im not so bad with the coffee. I have skimmed milk and sweetener, but still its not as good for you as plain old boring water!
Went to my slimming world class last night and weighed in at 243.5lbs so thats my official mid week weigh in! 0.5lb off where I had got to. Hoping to lose a couple of lbs for next week. Im used to losing weight so quickly, but Im starting to wonder whether in the long run slower is better as I put it on as quick as I lose it?
One of horses isn't very well, not sure what it is up, but she's been losing weight over the alst few weeks and I can't keep any on her. So tonight she is coming into the stable and she'll stay inside at night time. So I can monitor what she is eating and drinking. Which means exercise for me as I have to lug buckets of water about and muck out wheelbarrows full of wet smelly bedding.

Urgh! I feel so fat today, it's meant to be weigh in day, but there is no way I am stepping on the scales!
We had one of our suppliers come in yesterday, who brought us some goodies. They were from Cadburys. You must have cadburys chocolate bars over there? So he brought in giant bars of chocolate, boxes of eclairs...goodies galore! I guess he figures the way into an office full of woman is to give them chocolate. So as you can guess, I didnt touch a single bit....YEAH RIGHT! I ate it till I fell sick...
Then it was Scott's mum's 50th yesterday, so we went out for a family meal. I had garlic mushrooms, onion rings, chips and a rack of ribs. Washed down by a couple of pints of cider...
Then if that isn't all enough, today its one of the girls in the offices birthday so she has brought in cakes and fresh fruit and cream for us.
But I've just come on here and not only do I feel sick, but I also feel very very guilty as well. Bugger! Everytime I start doing well, I let myself down. I've got no will power at all.
The only good news I have got to report is that I have got my bridesmaid dresses! Yay! My catalogue had a sale on and these were in there and they match the flowers exactly.
Have a lovely weekend xxx
PS. I'd say 20 hundred hours, not sure if that make Jeremy right or wrong...lol?!

I lost .2 lbs! lol It's a tiny tiny loss, but I'm happy with it. I'm at 271.2 lbs now.
Ok wow, wow and wow! lol
First off, negativity will not get you anywhere! We have to stay positive. Yes, you overeate here and there. So did i! But It's a new week! Countdown to our weddings! Each week is a new beginning, and we both of los before and we can do it again! If we make ourselves busy with other things, we can remember that food is not that important! lol I would suggest avoiding the break room! I love Cadbury!!!!! lol BuT, ANYWAYS, YOU CAN DO THIS! I believe in us and we just have to thing more about health risks and we gotta stay positive for our guys too! They need us! lol
Second, That would make Jerremy wrong! :)
Third, I love the dresses and the bouquets! They are very very pretty. You're wedding is going to be beautiful! And you will be beautiful in it, whether you lose the weight or not! This is your life. You choose how and when you wanna start living it! :)

Oh hun, whats going on? I hope everything is okay? Like one of your friends said, whats meant to be is meant to be. But that doesn't make it any easier does it?
It's gonna be tough seeing him at work, but stick to your guns. Be strong, give him chance to reflect and he will come back to you. Honestly, the #%@&! that Scot has put me through over the years. I've been a wreck...but I never learnt. Everytime I left, I went running back and nothing had changed. Then when I did finally leave and move on with my life, eventually he came back to me a changed person. If only I'd done that in the first place?! lol
Still, its better to get all of this out of the way before you get married. It will make your relationship stronger. They aren't meant to be easy work, if they were they'd be boring and stale!
I hope things work out for you sweetie. Keep in touch xxx

I was not happy. I was lying to myself and trying to convince myself that I was. I was more excited about the wedding than the marriage. Over the last few days I have been happier than I have in a long time. lol I won't see him at work because he lost his job the night i broke up with him. I told him he can stay here til he finds a place to go, but that it can't be long because it's too difficult.
Thanks for the concern though. I appreciate it, but I'm okay. I'm actually doing great! :) I do not think we will be getting back together, but if we are meant to get married we will. It's amazing how things I have been going since we broke up. Everything else in my life is falling into place! :)

Or the worst if I decide to go the depressive, gotta have chocolate way! lol But I'm not! I'm in a great mood. lol I haven't thought about food much at all!
I have not been doing my walking this last week. lol But I have not eaten much at all either. I have been in a better mood than I have in months! Thanks for all the support.
His first concern was where hhe was gonna live. It had nothing to do with losing me. Plus he laughed at me when I tried to break up, so I'm not sure it's really hurting him much. lol
Anyways I gotta go! Weigh in in two days!!

Ah thats awful, blokes are so emotionally detached, they don't get how women take things to heart. Well hopefully he has to sofa hop for a few weeks to make him realise what he's lost out on.
Am glad that you are feeling positive. Weigh in day!
242.3lbs for me. Think thats 1 off, better than nothing!

Hey! I'm at 268.2 lbs. That's exactly 3 lbs gone! Yay!
I finnally got back down to seeing the 60. My lowest weight to date was 263 so I am aiming for that in a few weeks. Once I get there I will feel awesome enough to keep going. I don't really have much of a reason to be losing anymore. lol I mean not by a certain date because the wedding is off, but I still NEED to lose. lol
I have been doing really good for a couple days now. I feel rejuvinated! lol I'm worried about bills and life alone in general, but it feels pretty good. Everything happens for a reason so I guess we will see how things go.
I gotta go to work, but I'll talk to you soon! See ya!

Oh lana, lana, lana! What is going on? Neither of us have posted for 2 weeks! We are not being very good at this are we?
Im feeling very depressed as we sat down and looked at the cost of the wedding etc and we can't afford it next year. Looks like we will need to postpone it for a year. We have got too many debts to get cleared first. I guess I would like to get the debts cleared, well of course would. But also I want to be married too!
We're hectic at the minute trying to get organised for the house move. The new place is hanging, I've got pics up on FB if you wanted to have a gander. Got so much work to do! ANd we are moving the horses too, so as well as the hosue I have to clear out my tackroom, stables etc etc and get the horses shifted!
I weighed yesterday for the first time in 2 weeks and I was pleased that I was still 245lbs. I am going away in 2 months for a week with work and have kind of set myself a target of 14lbs by then. We'll see how it goes.
How are you getting along? How are things with Jeremy? Are you still feeling ok about it all? If it gets hard then don't be ashamed, it's natural.

Sorry this will be short.
I'm okay. Jerremy and I are being friends. Everything is going okay. I'm just working a lot more. That sucks about the wedding. May you could just spend less on it?
I am at 268.4 lbs which is a little down from last week. Yay me! lol I haven't even been trying.
I'm going out of state for a few days to take a break from my world. lol I hope to post a longer message later.
TTYL bye byes! Good luck with everything!
