Saves you the calories DG

I'm not too bad with chocolate, but mention the word cheese.

Weigh day for me today and I have lost 1.3kgs according to the scales. This doesn't mean much to me unless it's a consistent loss over the next few weeks 'cos my weight fluctuates that much each day anyway. Still at least it's going down.

More importantl, I want to see the results on me rather than the numbers of the scales.

Oh dear, not a little mouse are we Chookie? I'm glad I don't like cheese

Absolutely Tasty! No point the numbers going down if the fat doesn't go away

Well done Tasty, that's a great loss
My weigh day is tomorrow.

Good luck Mandy.

I weighed in on Monday. I thought I posted my results but I can't see them here.  I was surprised and disappointed that I did not lose any weight for the week. I though I had achieved a deficit overall for the week. I had amid week weigh in that I didn't record and I jumped on the Wii fit on Saturday and they both indicated that I was on track for about a kilo of loss but something went wrong somewhere.

Yesterday I had a full on binge.  It started at work because I was tired and stressed. I didn't get home until 7:30 last night. Once I was at home I was too tired to exercise and had things to do so the binge just continued.

I really hate myself when I binge. I know I am doing it and that I should stop but I find it really difficult and give into it. It is real binging too. I hide in the kitchen and eat or sneak food because I am embarrassed about it.

I am trying to get back on track today but I am still really tired and stressed.

Dash, I used to do that too. I used to hide in the pantry and eat the cooking chocolate, and then I'd feel so bad that I would eat more to try and make myself feel better
It's not a good feeling. I used to hate myself for it too. You just have to find new coping strategies, and I know it is harder than it sounds

Mandi, you can add my name to the weight loss list. I just want to lose another couple of kilos, but I'd like my name to be on the list with the rest of you so I can feel part of the team

My weight now is 68.5kg and my weigh day is Sunday

Excellent Amy, that would be great to add you to the list.
And Dash don't give up, a set back is not the end of the world. We are all here to support each other through the good and the bad.

I haven't weighed myself yet, but I know what I weighed when I went to the doctors last so I'm going to go on that. I'm not dieting strictly, just trying to be more thoughtful about what I eat and decrease portion sizes. Am also noting down the nights I have alcohol free nights so I can track my consumption. One drink even means that I cannot say its alcohol free. Made some chocolate alternative from the Vegetarian cookbook and am pondering whether this could be a good substitute for a sweet craving. Don't think I've lost any weight however cos my clothes still feel the same, and the fat lady in the mirror still recognises me when I wave at her each day.

Yay! Thanks Mandi

I think I'm lucky that because I'm still under 18 I don't have to worry about alcohol. It isn't something I want to get into even when I am allowed to drink it though But I know it is the downfall for some people
CP, just imagine how great it will be when you start seeing a slim lady in the mirror

I'm definitely not on a diet either. And I'm feeling quiet confident that I'm on a life style change with my eating habits. Instead of grabbing something quick and unhealthy, I'm going for better choices and actually enjoying it more. I'm really enjoying the challenge

That's a pack of sugar, or 4x 500g blocks of butter
