Yey!
Barb - I've managed to find your thread!!! Hope you got my email yesterday, I promised I'd be back & here I am!!

Rottingoak & Sally - sooooo sorry I've been away for so long, like Barb I was busy & fell out of the healthy eating regime, but I am back & more determined than ever to crack this & get to my goal!!

I'm so glad to hear you are all doing so well, I've not had chance to read any of the other threads as yet to see how you have all been getting on, but I can see from the board there are lots of new names there & lots of motivated people to help get me back on track!!

Barb - well done you!! 3 days of the diet & you are planning on doing another 3 days - let us know what your loss is for the first stint of it - I am keeping everything crossed for you that you have a similar successs to when we did it last time! Thanks so much for posting that link to the 3dd again - it's been so long I'd forgotten what I'm allowed to have!!

Ive just had a quick look for the 2 diet plans I found in my magazines, however I cannot lay my hands on them at the mo. although I know one of them was the 5 day diet I mentioned to you on my email Barb, this is the one that Rottingoak mentioned on her post so I'm going to have a look at the postings on that to see how everyone's getting on with it before I take the plunge on that - I definitely want to do it though!! Although it does sound very appealing - from what you say rottingoak you seem to be doing well with it!

I'm not sure which day I am going to start the 3dd - my best friend has her birthday on Monday & I am certain that she plans to do something this weekend - I think she's hoping for a barbeque on Sunday if the weather is good, but whatever we do I know it will involve food or alcohol, so I think I am best to try to eat healthy in between & then start a regimented diet after this - what do you reckon?!

My other problem is I am due to go up North for a few days next week to see my other half, which I know will involve some unhealthy food & alcohol being consumed - aaaargh!!!! Why is it at this time of year so much seems to be happening that keeps me from being good???!!!

I think I would rather wait until these 'events' are finished before starting on a strict plan, otherwise I know I will mess them up & feel bad - hope you guys don't think thats a cop out!!

I promise that I will eat healthy in between & at the moment I need all you guys for support just to stay on track with that - I've been so naughty in the last few weeks, I got on the scales a few days ago & I had gained 5lb - so Barb, I know exactly how you have been feeling (although you've now done your 3dd so I'm sure you have dropped most of your 6lb yougained - yey!!!)

Anyway, I will check in with you all tomorrow & will have to set some time aside to read the postings I have missed whilst being away from the board!

I do promise to be soooooo good tommorrow, even though I'm not on a plan as such I will elt you know how I'm getting on with my day when I message again!

Speak to you all soon & it's great to be back!
