^LOL, When I was eating them everyone was like 'eeww, what's that smell!' hahaha I made my boyfriend try them and he thought they were 'okay' but my bf's bro was like o-m-g they are so good....If you like vinegary sour hot things, you'll love them! I try to describe them to people as being crunchy and sour, but you really just have to try them! I also LOVE garlic stuffed olives....Banana peppers, pickled beets,pickled sausage....lol....anything really sour or hot. I PROMISE, they are a lot better than they sound!

Hi guys
I am new to the forum and wanted to join in. I have been dieting now for 2 weeks today and so far have lost 5.9kgs (13lbs) I have quite a bit to lose though so the first weeks have been rather forgiving and are helping me to keep motivated to no end.
My problem is I lose the first bit of weight and get half way through my weight loss and tend to go off track and then put it all back on only to end up a few kilos heavier than I was when I started the diet.
But this time around I am determined that it is going to be different and rather than think of it as a diet as such I am thinking of it as my new way of living... this will never end ... I will always have to watch what I eat etc so that I dont end up back at square one AGAIN!
There are many reasons why I think that this time around is going to be different... U guys may think it wierd but I am started a MUA course in January and I want to "look" the part... I dont know about elsewhere but in Australia MOSt of the MUA's have the body to go with the face & I want to feel confident enough to think that people would want to come to me to have their makeup done and not feel like my weight is holding me back from having a successful business.
I also have a 2 year old daughter who I want to be able to run around with etc etc plus the fact that I have a medical condition that is usually cured by weight loss is another factor.
I guess I am spilling my guts because I want to be accountable, I want to have people to fall back on when I screw up and most of all I want to remind myself daily that I am doing this is better myself, not because the people around me want me to do it but doing it because I WANT TO!
OK enough now lol
Hopefully I can join in and support u guys in return for having a shoulder to complain on when Im having a bad day.

Welcome gigglepot! I can totally relate to making it halfway to a diet and going back to my old weight (and then some!) Hopefully we can all work on this together! This thread is great for support and accountability (every time I think about going to the fridge, I feel like you all can see me!)
Ok, great news! Today I tried on these pants that I haven't been able to button for like a year now and.... THEY FIT!

I still don't know what I'll be having for dinner, hopefully something fairly healthy so I don't "ruin" my whole day... |

Tish... Thank you for reposting them. I am always nervous about posting my pics online especially a full body... i know how nervous you must be. You are gorgeous. I would kill to have your body. I guess though... no matter how many people say they love the way you look... it really matters how you feel about yourself.
I think the photos idea is really good... i need to take a pic of before and after. I did find an old pic of me... and saw how much bigger my face was to what it is now. It looks alot thinner than it ever has. It def helped me to stay motivated.

These were taken today for my B4 pictures...I am going to take weekly photos to show my improvement in the exact same outfit. I need one of those Triangle (WIDE LOAD) signs to paste on the back of my caboose!!! |

What are you eating for lunch today?
I'm having pesto pastas (leftovers from last night's parmigiana veal). Tonight my man isn't going to be home... I guess I'll eat something from scratch.
I totally forgot to tell you girls, I twisted my ankle last night when I was making diner. We were planning on taking a walk after diner, like last monday... and still, somebody doesnt want us to walk after diner hahaha (my man felt unconscious just before we went last monday).
It hurts, but not too much... I can still walk but veeeerryyyy slow. He (my bf) drove me to my job this morning, but tonight I'll have to call a cab because he won't be there.

Ouch Willa!! I'm sorry to hear that...Keep Ice on it!! I am not sure what I am having the kiddo is out of school today and tomorrow so at least that will make me eat healthy. I hardly ever allow him to eat junk food. Trying to help him before he turns out like me...So it will probably be sphagetti...He loves my maghetti as he calls it.
I hope you feel better...try to stay off that foot as much as possible. Ice and elevation really helps! I wanted to ride my bike today but it is raining terribly here. So treadmill it will have to be.
