The wibbly tummies' new thread - (not so) round two...

Ach, DS2 is ill (properly ill, we went from the doctor's to the hospital/specialist to the pharmacist and now we're home with lots of drugs and a treatment plan. I thought he was a bit screamy and grumpy this morning, thank goodness I checked his temperature!

It's been a long day, it's involved quite a lot of stress and a chocolate croissant and a chocolate bar and some chips. Hmm. anyone spot a trigger? Still I'm going to have a hot bath and an early night and hope DS2 isn't too screamy and puky all night long, poor little boy.
Some days are easier than others! But tomorrow I will play out side with DS1, and we'll eat real meals, and things will improve, I'm sure.

I just figured it out and I lost 100g in 2 weeks!! Surely that's the equivalent of a fart??! Oh well.

Breast thrush sounds awful - poor you blackcurrants.

dyeintheear - true true, I know what you mean, I keep sort of letting myself off when I'm eating crap because I think 'oh well. i'll loose it eventually!'

crazy - arf!!

I weighed myself today - 67.1 kg. I'm not sure what I was last time I weighed myself, my laptop died and I had it saved on there!? I will try and work it out from this thread.

Weigh in tomorrow........ hoping I've got below 11st. It'll be a huge boost to me.

There's been no treats, no dairy... but a bit of booze and very little exercise.... keep reminding myself if I feel tempted that I've got to get to my target weight at some point so it may as well be sooner rather than later.....

pasties yeah especially if it's raining. eating doughnuts outside your front door in the rain is a. a really good look for the neighbours and b. counts as negative calories cos it's so mad!!

blackcurrants there's definitely something in that sugar thing. if I don't have any at all it's not too bad, but as soon as I get my first taste I go a bit bonkers and start cramming it madly in my mouth. good luck getting rid of the thrush, poor you

I've been better today, but it's only midday. and it's been a long, rainy, screamy morning...sigh. the chocolate is calling loudly.

Thanks for the link! Fell off the wagon yesterday, but having been diagnosed with breast thrush, I must cut out sugar and booze for at least a week, so that will help. When it's sugar I just can't stop atm, so maybe if I.don't start....

I got the hairy dieters book but I haven't made anything from it yet. DH put the book away in our spare room and then it's just been forgotten about, thanks dh! I sometimes think that if he had a brain he'd be dangerous.

Crazy - you made me laugh with the eating out of home not counting, it almost made me want to step outside to scoff, surely being outside the front door means it doesn't count! right??!

I have done a fair bit of walking and what not this morning, but have also had a coke and a muffin. Not great. I will try and have a healthy dinner and no snacks. we'll see.

I had a chicken wrap with home made avocado salsa for lunch so that's a step in the right direction.

Hairy Dieters here you go, the recipes really are good and tasty.

Let me see if I can do a link. Bear with.

No, I am FFing.

I am looking forward to my tea I must say.

Sophia are you bfing? I'd be starving if that was all I ate

snacks are creeping in. must stay strong! argh. I'm hungry!!!

I keep hearing about the hairy dieters, who are they? I am an expat in the USA so we have different crazes.

crazy that is my crazy time too.

I am back on wagon after NI. Today....

Porridge with blueberries
Banana
Veg and lentil soup
Apple
Fat free Greek yoghurt
Kitkat and a cup of tea. (Only 2 fingers, I thank you)

We have Hairy Dieters Cajun chicken for tea.

blackcurrants my worst time is 3pm til supper time. I just go on a total rampage. nothing seems to help except being really strict with myself, but that often doesn't work, like yesterday when I ate 6 kitkat fingers at a friend's house. I have this terrible subconscious idea that food eaten out of the house doesn't count

I've been clutching on to the wagon with my fingertips while my feet drag on the floor behind so not exactly a spectacular loss for my weigh in day but still down 1lb.

this brings me to the target set for me by ww, 10lb 13oz. it's now put me on a maintenance program - but I want to lose more weight! my goal is about 10st. so I put in a new goal of 10st 7lb but it didn't adjust my points back down. what do I do?? much as I would love to scoff 46 points a day plus the weekly 49 I still want to lose weight and am worried I'll lose track. any ww-ers out there? help!

I definitely had s weekend off the wagon but managed to lose two pounds this week. Am concentrating a bit harder now, nothing so motivating as a good result!

Its the evenings after the DCs are in bed when I reach for the crap. That and elevenses time, I think. Trying to work on that.

Ok I fell off the bandwagon for a few days recently, missed my usually weigh in and have avoided this thread for a bit! I slipped back into old habbits and have just been stuffing my face wildly. I aim to reel myself back in and to start eating reasonably again tomorrow. I must stop drinking fizzy drinks and reaching for the chocolate, and must get my arse into gear and get exercising again. I've had dh home for three weeks and he likes to jump in the car and go wherever we're going when I had been trying to get into the habit of walking more - next week I will try and focus back onto the walking.

If I remember I will weigh in tomorrow and try and then have a good weekend.

We had a few days holiday this week so I had wine and chocolate and big (delicious) meals out and one day we had a three course meal for lunch!! yikes!

How is everyone else doing today ?

Yes richman one step at a time. You need to be realistic or you will only feel crap if you set unachievable goals. Like an 8 pack of jam donuts

Hi All. Am back. Not weighing in till Fri as need some grace to loose any lbs gained in NI. I resented most snacking between meals but DH and I did crack open a bottle of wine most nights.

Just made a nice batch of winter veg and lentil soup from some home grown veg, so that should do lunches for a few days, am scouring the hairy dieters book for ideas for the evenings before I go and restock the fridge.

Ooh that sounds good Yellow. Well done.

I have had a bit of a random week. Had about 4 days last week when I could not stop eating- as in, could happily eat a 6 pack of jam doughnuts and then think "what's next?", was craving sugar like never before and now I'm completely the opposite. Must be my hormones.

Anyway, still stuck at 10 stone. Ended up not going to my Crossfit introduction as DD was ill, and actually I also realised that I'm not in the right place mentally to commit to it at the moment. Schedule is so overloaded as it is, balls getting dropped everywhere, to-do list is out of control. Also, I cant see a time when I'll be able to go 3x a week for more than a week at a time. I gotta ask myself am I really going to get home from work, do bedtime, then get changed, get on the tube and do an hour of Crossfit at 8pm? Highly unlikely. maybe I should try gettign my ass to the gym in the basement of my own building first, which has happened on exactly 4 occasions sicne May 2012. Baby steps, Richman, baby steps.

No weigh in today due to never having empty boobs, bladder, tum and bowel at one time..... Jeans are so loose I can take them off without unbuttoning so have ordered some new ones!

Yay, 68.4kg, down from 69.1kg last week. And my jeans are getting rather loose.

Hi, no wi today. Am a bit scared - not a great week due to four month sleep regression (or my reaction to it - it's not been DS shoving food into my mouth!). Am hoping for early feed and pee tomorrow for wi...

You are right, its so easy to keep stuffing in the cake without registering how much you're eating... That's definitely what I was doing before I joined this thread, and using breastfeeding as an excuse, but the production of breast milk really doesn't require 3 portions of cake a day! I'm certainly eating loads better now so hopefully the weight will gradually melt away... I've got some money set aside from my biryhday for some new clothes but I'm using it as an incentive - I won't spend it until I fit in a size 12 comfortably again. Hopefully that will be before the summer.
