MrsMcEasterBunny · 28/03/2007 15:11

Hello we did a thread a bit like this last year and it worked well so I thought I'd try it again.

I have a wedding to go to in 7 weeks and I'd like to lose 10 pounds. I'm going to follow a low fat diet and do more exercise.

I'll post my losses (and any gains) on a Weds morning.

Come and help me!

Oh dear!

Roskva · 25/04/2007 11:52

I wish - that's what I blamed the 2 lbs I gained LAST week on . I think the Easter splurge has caught up with my thighs < big sigh emoticon>

cedar12 · 25/04/2007 11:22

Is it the wrong time of the month Roskva, thats what i am blaming it on any way

Roskva · 25/04/2007 10:55

Oh god, I've gained another 2lbs . I thought I'd been (reasonably) good, too.

eclipse · 25/04/2007 10:38

Oh, I'm so ashamed. No move again for me. Stuck on 12st 2 forever. Must try harder, must try harder etc. Personal target for next week is 2 off. Well done you losers and good luck the rest of you.

Well done mumo3 and head girl, I am a bit of a none mover this week. Weigh yesterday lost 1/4 lb weighed today put 1/4lb on. So I think I am about the same as last week. Af due so I am using that as an excuse. Better go with the 1/4 on. Not surprised been crap with food but have still been exercising.

theheadgirl · 25/04/2007 08:30

Well done mum03 - beat me by 1/4 lb! Only 1 off this week, but at least I'm going in the right direction.

coggy · 24/04/2007 23:17

LOL!
I'm not ready for a sparkly (or non-sparkly!!) leotard just yet!!

Give me a few more weeks on this thread and we'll see!!!!

eclipse · 24/04/2007 21:20

Hi, all. Got a bit of a shock when I saw the list of names waiting for tomorrow's weigh-in on MrsMc's post. Had a bit of a panic attack. Know it's not going to be good and I blame the Magners too. And lots of 'em.

Like the pom pom thing. Maybe we need a chant for the week to keep us away from the fridge/bar. I have no literary, musical or dancing talents. Coggy and theheadgirl should perhaps slip into their sparkly leotards and come up with a ditty and dance for the week...

pussycatmomma · 24/04/2007 19:35

Mrsmc you are soooooooooooo kind. I now have a big smile on my face....I am really not mn royalty but it feels such a pleasure to be named as one! Thank you
Well Im 5days in to the ww and have been really good so far this week. My worst time seems to be the afternoons, when i get in from work until we eat our evening meal. At least with this one it really is just healthy eating and watching portion sizes......Did anyone watch "superskinny me, the race to size double zero" on sunday evening?? and that it was actually on tv, almost like a do-it-yourself guide . To see the mental disturbance unravelling for the sake of a tv experiment......not good.
On a brighter note, hurray!!! took my last clomid for this month so normality will hopefully resume shortly!!
xxxx

coggy · 24/04/2007 18:33

Oooh! I like it!!!

Could I suggest a slight addition though?

Gimme a B
Gimme an F
Gimme a P
And watch what you're eating for your tea!

[finish with the splits, whilst waving pom-poms]

I do so like rhymes!!!!!

Yes...I know.....SPOTTER...I am...I confess!!!!

That's pretty poor for 10 of us isn't it?
A 5 pound loss?
Weren't we aiming for 15??

I have eaten LODS of naughties this weekend.....don't think I'll add much to this week's loss total.....sorry!

theheadgirl · 24/04/2007 17:42

Welcome back MrsMc
My slogan is:
Gimme a B
Gimme an F
Gimme a P
[finish with the splits, whilst waving pom-poms]

MrsMcJnr · 24/04/2007 16:49

Sorry for taking so long to get back to you it?s not that I?ve been especially naughty (though did have lots of Magners at the weekend ) just been busy in RL ? not really exercising but that said, I?ve had 5 very long walks since last weigh day, fingers crossed! Feeling a bit bloated and fat though, think that?s got to do with OV approaching (this week?s excuse!) So how are you all? I?d better have a look and see

Thank you theheadgirl for my bar of Divine, never had it so there?s a new chocolate experience to be had! I like the cheer leader idea too ? got a slogan?

mumto3girls, you?ve got to give up the coke! It?s full of sooo many badies, especially diet coke. I used to be/am an addict, it?s been 18 weeks since my last can ? I gave up when I got pg and never took it back up again. One good thing that came out of my brief pregnancy I guess

Coggy ? you must have been pretty fed up to miss you weigh in! Think you deserved all those tasty treats on the pleasure v pain principle don?t you? You weight loss is superb , well done, I am so of your resolve and motivation! Apparently the secret is finding more pleasure in changing than not changing but hey, I just want to be changed without having to do the changing!!

Ah the return of Roskva ? we thought we?d lost you! Glad we didn?t welcome back!

Hello Linjasmom feeling a bit better thanks. I hope you are having a lovely holiday. Were you going away anywhere?

Hello Pussycatmama ? I feel like MN royalty has arrived we have the Queen Bee with us ? yippeeee! how are you doing? It?s been a while since we spoke. How did your first WW go? I go to Scottish Slimmers (well, am meant to, re-joining since MC next week) but still use all the recipes I got at WW too. They?re yummy, use them for dinner parties too, no one realises! The rules are that we weigh on on a Weds and post losses or gains or stay the sames and each week we all collectively try to hit a joint target! We chat in between times to resist the urges to be bad and to gloat about being good and some lovelies even post recipes! It?s fun and yes, takes our minds off TTC. We also have quite a few on here who are not TTC so it?s a good break from thinking about it 24/7. It?s Ok for you to post on a Thurs I usually don?t do the summary until Friday but I am really late with last weeks so here goes!!

10 of us posted last week, we lost 8 ¼ but put on 3 ¼ so total loss this week was 5 pounds.
4 didn?t post and we have a new lady this week.

Here?s the list for tomorrow ladies:

iwillbepg ?
Cedar12 ?
MrsMcJnr-
eclipse ?
theheadgirl ?
Ready ?
mumto3girls ?
Scotia ?
linjasmom ? On hols
mum03 ?
Coggy ?
KittyLetteMeEatAnEasterEgg ?
Roskva70percentcocoa ?
Pinkelephant ?
Pussycatmomma ?

pussycatmomma · 23/04/2007 21:47

wow Coggy!
You have once again proved to be my inspiration!!! Well done!! I am very impressed indeed
I also dont really feel like it is a diet, just healthy eating, but quite strict - I didnt realise how much I eat without thinking, until I put a limit on myself
But sticking to 3 meals and only eating till you are "comfortably satisfied"......hmmm, cant be that easy surely?
xxx love to all.
will post on your other thread coggs about ttc stuff!

Ready · 23/04/2007 19:22

Bloody hell Coggy - that is fab! Well done you!! I think you deserve 2 weeks off, well half off perhaps
That list sounds good - we eat a lot of chicken and pasta, is there a limit to the amounts??
And fruit aswell, that is good - because on the points plan, fruit costs points. I might have to pay to go and get all the bumpf on this core plan... although the pure points works for me when I am strict at 20 points.

coggy · 23/04/2007 18:50

Pusscat.....I started about 8/9 weeks ago I think (although I have missed a couple of classes) and lost 10 1/2 pounds doing the core plan....only got 3 1/2 to go before target! HURRAH!

Ready....all fruit and veg. (not dried fruit)
low fat yogs, low fat cream cheese, lean meat, pasta, potatoes.....urm........'good' cereals like porridge, no sugar stuff.......diet drinks, skimmed milk.......all the kinds of things I would eat on a healthy diet anyway so I don't feel as if I'm on a 'diet' as such...just eating healthily.
Which was obviously a challenge in itself over the weekend!!!!

MrsMcJnr · 23/04/2007 17:01

Plan to catch up on this later, just putting it back on my threads!

Ready · 23/04/2007 14:15

So.... what is on this good list?? Just give me an idea would ya?

pussycatmomma · 22/04/2007 20:14

oooh coggy we are diet buddies if we are doing the same one! Think i am using up my points on wine so far! !
Have you had much success with the core thing or do you switch from that to counting points?

Ready · 22/04/2007 17:49

Coggy - Get some celery in there, it burns off calories

coggy · 22/04/2007 16:58

Urmmmmmmmmmm...sadly I don't think that it is the hormones.....just me at home with DH at work....feeling bored with the fridge full off bar-be-que left-overs.....

Oh...and more fruit cake gone down too!!
At least I'm balancing the cake and sausages with equal number of organic apples??!!!!

Ready · 22/04/2007 14:28

Pah!

coggy - I am so pleased that you are feeling confident. And I so hope it works out for you. Do you think the hormones make you hungry??

Linjasmom - Have a great holiday!
