131.6lbs My weight has crept up a bit further - but this is a Monday weight which is always higher - after a weekend away with a lot of lovely food. I have been thinking about why my weight is creeping up and why I am finding it difficult to keep to the habits. I'm partly repeating what I've already...

129.6lbs Yesterday was a failure and as a result my weight is up. We had a fantastic day in London - I love spending time with my girls and my niece. We did a lot of walking, talking, laughing and shopping - no museum unfortunately - but lots of interesting things to look at. We walked to Westminste...

128.4lbs Successes Tuesday and Wednesday. It is not easy though. At one point during the last few months I didn't have to think about No S. I felt the habits were ingrained and had become automatic. I didn't think about picking while cooking, or a biscuit with a cup of tea. Now though - it's hard. I...

128.8lbs I'm calling yesterday a success - even though I couldn't be as vanilla as I wanted to be. I went to visit my dad - he had made a chocolate chip cookie cake which he wanted me to try. I had just one bite - luckily there wasn't a lot and the girls wanted to eat most of it. In the afternoon ev...

129.6lbs No longer losing weight - unsurprisingly. The last few days have taken their toll and I'm back to where I was. This means I have stayed the same for most of October. But I know why - too many NWS days, too many failures. Friday was a big failure - 2 cakes and ice cream. I slept 14 hours on ...

127.8lbs Failure today. Cake this morning - bought for me by a colleague to say thank you for something. It would have been rude not to eat it at the time. And then it was a small step to cake this afternoon - I met up with a friend I haven't seen for weeks and we had cake and coffee. I have lost we...

Oh dear. Monday and Tuesday both failures - I am falling off this wagon big time. And after such a long time when I've done so well. So - why am I breaking the rules? I'm tired - so so tired. I'm nearly at half term but I have been working flat out for the last 6 weeks. The days are long, busy and I...

I had this problem when I first started No S. By 5pm if I hadn't eaten I was shaking and grumpy. Like Too Solid, initially I saved part of my lunch to eat as a mini meal in the afternoon. Then Oolala suggested I increase the amount of fat in my lunch. This was an enormous help (thanks Oolala :D ). I...

129.4lbs NWS event on Tuesday (birthday cake). Failure Wednesday - too easy to carry on the habit of cake from Tuesday. Why can I cement a bad habit in 2 days, when it takes such a long time to forge good habits??? So frustrating. Back on track Thursday and today, but just about to go out for a meal...

Hi Shannah - you are right - it's not easy. But I'll let you know if I have any success. 128.8lbs Another successful week. The next week has challenges: daughter's 16th birthday - weekend barbecues, meal out during the week, cake... I think I will call her birthday an S event and just have cake, rat...

Hi Shannah - thank you for your kind words. It was actually you, KCCC and a few others who inspired me to review the month in this way. I really love reading other people's reviews/thoughts/resolutions - and once I had started my own I realised it was a really useful way of clearing my thoughts. As ...

129.4lbs Another Saturday check-in and I'm still under 130. I'm very pleased about this as I had a NWS day during the week. This was more of a NWS event than a whole day - I had 1 piece of cake after a buffet lunch - really not excessive :). Review of September Positives: Starting weight: 134lbs End...

A lovely weekend - I ate no shop-bought sweets. I made a lemon drizzle cake (which was lovely), some chocolate chip cookies (which the girls ate) and a chocolate mousse for after Sunday dinner (absolutely divine). All of these were much tastier and more satisfying than anything I could have bought. ...
