I am controlling my binge eating by sticking to low carb (50-100gr carbs per day).
First week was challenging, now its easier...
Good luck!

2.6lbs/1.2kg down this week! Actually think I'll reach my goal just before Christmas 
be careful with this… it could lead to binging more if you crave carbs too much xxI am controlling my binge eating by sticking to low carb (50-100gr carbs per day).

So had a good day wedding dress shopping yesterday, but I was feeling nervous so went for a run first thing, then only had two coffees until dinner time 
really made up for it at dinner but after coming back from the gym this morning, I’m back to being just 1 stone away from target! 5lbs away from my previous lowest weight so I’m glad to see some progress finally. Really hoping to get there by December 
Also.. I think I’m going to go for a fitted dress. Never in a million years did I think I’d feel brave enough for that. Or to fit in a size 12 bridal gown! Does anyone else feel like their brain hasn’t caught up with their weight loss? It’s very bizarre.. I can only see it in myself in photos, looking in the mirror is like looking at a completely different person (but I also had the opposite when I was heavier - looking in the mirror was ok but then I hated how I looked in photos).. what’s wrong with me

I relate totally. I lost 3 stone and still see no difference in the mirror. I do think it takes a whole for our brains to catch up.So had a good day wedding dress shopping yesterday, but I was feeling nervous so went for a run first thing, then only had two coffees until dinner time

We received our wedding photos a couple days ago and I was honestly shocked at how I looked. I genuinely wondered if our photographer had edited me to look slimmer!
Also when I'm online shopping, when filtering, I always have to stop myself from picking size 16 or 18, the fact I'm now a 12/14 is mind-boggling!
So happy you had a good day wedding dress shopping. It's so special!
These pictures are so stunning, congratulationsI completely relate!

Thank you so much, @bellinibobble and @Moonflower!
We went to the castle in our city to take photos as it's where we got engaged and had our civil ceremony and a griffon vulture landed right on top of us (middle photo)! It was a bit scary, but the photos turned out really magical.

That sounds amazing! Definitely worth it for the pic.
I just want to celebrate all of us today as no one IRL really gets it but I know you all will. Not just the weight loss in lbs, but also the lost inches, the smaller clothes, the increased activity, the distance run, the weight lifted, the extra water drunk, the confidence gained the improved sleep and all the other million achievements we've made and not really thought about because the focus is on the lbs.
And no matter where you are in your journey, you can make those changes and while it might be hard it is so, so worth it. What started our as weight loss for me has gone further than I ever thought possible. I got a new job last week and I know that there is just no way I'd have even applied for it never mind got it as the old me. I'm so proud of me, and of all you guys too wherever you are on your journey.
Sorry, will stop now

This has actually made me emotional!That sounds amazing! Definitely worth it for the pic.

Huuuuge congrats on your new job!! 
And yes, you're right, nobody gets it irl, but all of us on here do. I love this community and it's been a huuuuge help to speak to other ladies on the same journey sharing all our highs and lows. It isn't easy at all and it's a forever journey, but we're all here to support each other and that is so amazing.
People kept asking/telling me: Oh you're on a diet because of the wedding and were surprised when I said this isn't temporary, these are changes I want to sustain forever because like you said, there are so many benefits and seeing you list them all and how accurate they are has put a huge smile on my face.I'm really proud of all of us, ladies!
It's fantastic to be able to share stuff without judgement, competition/being dismissed or having people tell you that you're still not good enough/you have to follow x or you might as well not bother - and that it can be easy at times, harder at others. On another shady site, if you aren't doing week long starvation 'intermittent' fasting, VLC stuff, following the ideas of a doctor who a) specialises in bariatric surgery and b) literally says in the book that there's no point bothering to diet if you're already fat, you'll never do it without making men like him thousands of pounds for performing bariatric surgery or cutting out entire food groups forever and existing upon a half lettuce leaf and a teaspoon of potato, you are a failure. It's not supportive and friendly to be on a forum where people who are a size 8 insist that they could do with losing half a stone because their arse or boobs are huge or there's a huge pile on when somebody dares suggest that being a size 10-12 isn't actually the same as being morbidly obese.
I'm busy basking in the glow of a hot bath, hot shower (well, I'd been in there so long the water was getting cold), two packets of mussels in garlic butter, a wodge of GF bread and some sweet and salty popcorn. Mr D is due back soon, I'm already in my PJs (having had to get rid of another 2 sets because they won't stay up anymore) and I'm looking forward to curling up in bed later.

Hey guys,
I'd like to join you please
Lost six stone a few years ago with slimming world, it led me into a binge and restrict cycle and I've put a lot back on. Will be weighing in the morning and cal counting.

I was really craving pizza tonight but I found one of those Chicago town ones in the freezer. They are only 415 calories and really satisfied the craving! Forgot how nice they are sent me back to childhood 
always do them in the oven though they aren’t great in the microwave
always do them in the oven though they aren’t great in the microwaveJoining in! Starting calorie counting today. I would like to lose 2 to 2.5 stone. I gave up my Coca Cola habit 6 weeks ago. I used to have 2 to 4 cans of Coke a day but i switched to water and cordial. I have the occassional 7up or Sprite but I dont find it as addicitive. I lost zero weight from giving up the Coke 
My main problem is lunches and snacking so focussing on that next. My best friend is trying to lose weight too and we have arranged to meet up every second evening for walks to keep each other motivated. I am extremely competitive so I think doing it with someone else will help as I won't want her to beat me

This sounds really good! Especially as the nights get darker, means you’ll be able to go out and not worry as well. Good luck!

Happy Monday everyone! My average weight for last week was only 1lb up from the previous week which is a relief because I felt like I'd gone haywire. Trying to get back on it today and hoping to end the day with at least a 300 cal deficit. I know a 500 cal/day deficit is the 'magic number' but I struggle with that so much - haven't even managed that once :/
Went out Friday and Saturday night with friends. Weighed myself this morning as weigh in day and gained 5.2lbs. I actually sobbed. Hubby reckons it's just bloat and water weight. Hoping it comes back off quickly as I'm gutted

Try not to worry or be upset, I know it’s so demotivating and tit but I was 5lb up last Monday after a meal out on Sunday evening, and I’d lost it all again by Saturday. It will be water weight I’m sure
