Oh well, I shall remain an "Adult" and stick to my guns 
Well they say that LL is a journey, both physical and emotional.
I have just finished week 4 of RTM. I have found foundation and the 1st 3 weeks of RTM exciting. Yes, I've had hard times and emotional barriers to deal with but - WOW - I think I had every emotion on Sunday morning!!
I woke up at 5.30 and I had the worries of the world on my shoulders! I couldn't put anything in any kind of per...

Hi guys had a fab weekend with my OH for our anniversary.
FOOD/DRINK ALERT!!!
We spent Saturday in Glasgow and I had made a previous decision that I was going to "lapse" and have some alcohol. It was a beautiful sunny day and I had bought a new dress for the evening. Went round a couple of pubs and I had some champagne then we went back to the hotel where we had free booze from 5pm. Usually I w...

Well I tried something I haven't done since I was a child - I went horse riding!!:D
It was wondeful and a bit like riding a bike - you never forget. I was on Duke who was lovely and patient with me. My biggest fear was getting on the horse, luckily they had a mounting block
. I was walking, trotting, trotting over poles and even managed a few canters - exhilarating!

Hi, I'm getting hopeless writing my journal and I must say I miss it!
On the other hand, loving RTM - something to look forward to guys!! Enjoying my new tastes and some old ones. Everything tastes so much better when you havent been able to eat it and you actually take the time to "taste it!!"

Hi everyone, cant believe I have not written in my journal for a week!
This is the 1st day of RTM after losing 45.5 lbs on foundation - I have been through all the usual feelings of excited, wary, apprehensive etc of starting on real food again - but I must say I thoroughly enjoyed my 1st meal of tuna mixed with cottage cheese served with my trusty soup "crisps".

Feeling utterly confused! My weight loss "seems" to be slowing down. I had got into a pattern of having 2 good losses followed by a smaller loss - and was getting my head round that - but now this week I lost 2 lbs, and next week is my "scheduled" small loss, so Im feeling a bit agitated as Id made the decision to start RTM on 1 June, end of week 14. I was hoping to be 11st and then to control...

Im feeling really frustrated at the moment. I absolutely know its just my crooked thoughts but I feel as though I am going backwards! 
Although I understand I must be getting smaller, I feel as big as I did at the beginning !

Well just back from WI and lost 1lb. There is definitely a pattern emerging, every 3 weeks, small weight loss. I'm not so "bitter" about it as I know the following weeks, the losses catch up. My LLC took my measurements and have lost a couple more inches over my body and I can feel the difference in my clothes so still happy with the forward movement!

Sun - OH working early and woke up with him. Watched a couple of DVD's in bed then got up. Had brekkie then pottered about in the garden. Not had much motivation the last few days but quite enjoyed having "nothing to do" mode so did nothing! Went down to the gym and had a good workout then relaxed in the jacuzzi and sauna, heaven. My hubby and son had a chinese carryout so disappeared upstairs...

Had a lovely day in Edinburgh on Thursday with my step daughter. We took the train through and had a wander round the shops. Went into River Island with her and saw a lovely belt - normally I wouldnt even bother looking at things as they would never have gone near me - but I tried it on and it fitted (maybe even a bit big whoo hoo!!) We then went for lunch, well I had my "crisps" and then went to...

Oh well had another good weight loss last night - 3.5 lbs taking my total to 33.5 lbs in 9 weeks! Hubby gave me a cute handbag I had seen at the local shops does he realise he will need to keep this up - even after I reach my target lol.

Both my hubby and son were working early this morning and as I was awake decided to put a DVD on and watch it in bed. Chose "Love Actually" - havent seen it in ages but it's easy to watch and made me smile.

Woke up and didnt feel hungry at all. I think maybe I was overdoing going to the gym so going to go twice a week instead of 3 and stick to my 2 nights line dancing! I am however feeling like Im missing the " social side" of things. The nice meal out etc. Ally had a great answer to my blog yesterday and as she said my mind is playing games with me and Im sure shes right. I dont want to come of...

Have been feeling very hungry the last couple of days! Have tried drinking more water and keeping busy and it does help for a wee while but I truly feel hungry not just "think I feel" hungry. Most people on ketosis say they dont feel hungry, having been 100% abstinent, could it be possible I am not in kestosis - I am 1/2 way through 3rd week?

Felt really tired today - like a horse I could have slept where I stood! 
Went to the shops window shopping but had to come home. OH was going to the gym and originally was not going to go but did go and actually quite enjoyed it - helped the tiredness a wee bit but home had tea and bed! Woken up today feeling much more refreshed ready for another day!

Had my 2nd WI last night - lost 4lbs = 11.5 lbs in total - whoo hoo! 2 people commented that they could see a difference already - nice incentive! Threw out a pair of jeans yesterday - nearly made the mistake of putting them back in the wardrobe but too big - out they go! Tried the tomato soup today - really enjoyed it and a nice change from the others! Going to the gym again tonight and then re...

I dont know about any of the rest of you but I am always nervous on WI day! I have been 100% abstinent but still those butterflies are fluttering away! I am also excited because hopefully I will be smaller than last week - whatever the weight loss. Went to the gym again last night - must admit if Im hungry (or probably just think I am) a 1/2 hr at gym seems to sort me out - I also love the pool ...

Well very pleased with myself! Met up with my friends for lunch yesterday and had a lovely surprise when Val, a friend who now lives in London, turned up too! Unfortunately she had been up attending a funeral but we got the benefit of her company. I just ate before I went and had my coffee and sparkling water while they ate and drank! I felt so pround that I stuck to my plan and thoroughly s...

Got a nice surprise when i opened my toffee bar and it was covered in white chocolate yum! I think it tastes more like marzipan than toffee but still enjoyed it. My first real challenge is today when I'm meeting up with my friends for "lunch" well coffee and water for me. Thought about taking a foodpack but too much hassle will just eat beforehand. The wine might be a bit more hard to watch the...

Had a lovely time babysitting my nephew Jamie (5) and Sam (the black lab) last night. Just took my chilli foodpack and peanut bar round with me. Being my brother's birthday there was the dreaded birthday cake which was offered to me by Jamie - I said no I was on a diet and he said "why?" I could have kissed him and jumped for joy - these 1st few pounds must have worked wonders oh the innocence...

Had my 1st weigh in last night - 7.5 lbs - ecstatic! A new month and a new stone - Its so worthwhile and Im really excited about this week now! My lovely hubby greeted me with a beautiful bunch of flowers which was so thoughtful and reminded me that hes behind me all the way! Went shopping yesterday and kept looking in shops where I could never fit their clothes and saying "see you soon". I kn...

Feeling very positive this morning - its a new month and hopefully tomorrow night I'll break the 14 stone barrier and be 13 st something- that would need a loss of 3 1/2 lbs. Mentally that would be great for me. Didnt plan my foodpacks very well and didnt get enough shakes - ive been left with too many soups - so had veggie soup this morning for brekkie wasnt too bad - again its just programming...

Its nearly the end of my 1st weekend and Ive survived! Lucky I wasnt up to much but hopefully by the time I have to deal with my first night in pub without a glass of wine (:(() ill have seen some weight loss and be able to cope! I took a sample of different foodpacks this week and feel when I choose the right ones from now on it will be slightly easier too. I definitely prefer some to others. ...

Felt hungry last night but it was probably because it was quite late and I just went to my bed and when I woke up I was fine and not even feeling particularly hungry. When I did have breakfast I had a great "latte"! I'm sure that me being a "Newbie" most people will have tried this but just in case you havent here's the "recipe". 300ml boiling water, mix vanilla shake, I use blender, put it int...

Day 2 and really surprised at how easy it is so far - long way to go I know but I just keep thinking of the end result. Had strawberry foodpack last night and did not enjoy it at all but plenty more to choose from so not a problem. Was hungry after chilli dinner but made myself wait 20 mins to let my tummy know it had eaten and was fine after 5 mins. Again everybody is so kind and informative w...

Got my foodpacks last night and feel reaaly excited about starting my "new life". There were some very inspirational stories at the meeting and feel really encouraged. Took a variety of sachets to try - think porridge this morning. Got messages of support from fellow bloggers which is lovely as I dont feel alone and feel like part of a community.:D
