Frankie I know nothing about anything so no point in asking me! As for cheating it is what I've doing all my life. Valentine's Day go out and have a good night with your husband, I won't comment on the last four words! 

hi frankie,,, my diet since beginning of jan , has had 1 cheat day per week,,, and i mean a BIG cheat day,,, where i had everything .... lol ,,, this has worked for me.. weight coming off,, yeah... if i don't have 1/2 days to look forward to ,, i tend to give up on diet.. as its hard work,,, so have your valentienes day,,, same here, its my cheat day this week... and you will still find the weight come off,, good luck and enjoy valentines night ..  

Chestnut, you know perfectly well I didn't mean it like that 😂😂😂 Nikki, that helps, thank you! 

Frankie I don't know what you are talking about you know I am full of sugar and spice and all things nice! 

don't forget to put the "I'm screwed aren't I?" down as exercise !!!!! every little helps.. lol  

Nikki you can get away with that I would get slaughtered.  

smiley face  

Pahahahahahahahahaha. I usually don't track my exercise here because it overestimates how much I burn. In that case, I think it's safe to say it would be underestimated 😉😂 

The odd treat will not do you any harm... its the long term averages that matters about being good. Have a good time. 

If you want to have a low carb diet then one cheat day a month is maximum that you can afford , party food is not bad if you woukd just take a chunk that will fit you diet like sausage , regardless what you read on internet our bodies do not crave for Carbs its or taste buds and you can satisfy them by eating food that is low carb but woukd tase kind of like bread shredded or blend boiled broccoli or cauliflower and leave it to drain out and keep it handy use you instead of carbs bake it for few minutes and add ur favorite spice and eat it with any party food you will order at home 1kg of these would only have 50 grams of Carbs these small twix will make your diet easy and also will keep you satisfied 

Frankie you are a naughty girl. 

Personally I don’t think it will make that much difference, you’ll not lose anything you will probably just maintain your weight for a few days but you’ll not lose anything either, when you first weight yourself it’ll probably look like you put on something like 4Ib but take no notice it’s not a real weight I could go into water retention salt intake etc.. but I’m not going to bore you with it so enjoy ya valentines night just get back on it the day after don’t weight yourself until the following time then post your weight And then we’ll see I think you’ll be surprised 😉 

dw one cheat day never ruins progress! I call them “treat days”!!💚 

Just go out and enjoy yourself xxx 

Hun go and enjoy yourself ❤️ 

Frankie - just say to yourself 'its a cheat day' or 'a treat day' whichever sounds better to YOU and accept there will be days when you can't stick to a diet. I have days like that - like taking a colleague out for a pub meal of garlic mushrooms, burger, chips and onion rings (but avoided the burger bun and a pud) it didn't ruin everything, just slowed me a bit. Same with the Chinese takeaway I had at Chinese New Year - I just tried to reduce the quantity rather than deny the whole thing. At the end of the day - it is YOUR diet and shouldn't be governed by anyone else's rules and criticism. 

chestnut - you SOOOOO wanted to make those comments didn't you? As for you being full of sugar and spice - I can think of something else you may be full of - but too police to put that in a post...… bitch bitch ! 

and now I venture into the realms of 'chestnut's world' - of course you could always indulge in lots of extra 'exercise' on Valentine's Night to make up for it all...…. *Innocent look* 

😂😂😂 Thanks everyone. Just need to decide what exactly I'll be eating lol, but will definitely be enjoying it whatever it is. (And yes, bedroom double entendre is intended 😇) 

Who mentioned a bedroom? *innocent look - AGAIN* I get extra exercise by walking the dog for another hour.... Oh dear that could be another double entendre !!
