Bloomin heck @73kittycat73 that’s brilliant!!

@BorderlineHappy that’s fantastic! Bet that put a spring in your step!!

Paper yes she's 11.

73kitty that's brilliant well done!

Borderline I make it 1650 at sedentary level (which is what the experts say you should go by).

@WreckTangled yes thats what im getting.
And thats what i use but the weight doesnt seem to be shifting,.

@73kittycat73 Eh not jealous at all.😂😂Well done.

Cant wait for the kids to go back to school.Bring it on.

Thank you all. Have been buying more bits for Christmas today. Almost ran out of funds until a few weeks from now. (I save some every month.) Found a lovely shop recommended on the Christmas boards, it's here . It sells some beautiful items. I'm going to wait until after Christmas in case they have a sale. I love the look of their mobile decorations.

5 lb down.
I'm now 11 st 12 and have lost 2 stone 4 lbs.
So happy I've finally seen movement

Well done @BorderlineHappy you’ve done really well!

I’ve walked ten miles today - I can’t quite believe I’ve done that!!

@PaperMonster thats great.

I have just had a chinese takeaway.Probably put the 5 lb back on😂

Lol! Fingers crossed it stays off!

The amazing thing about my ten miles is that it is actually walking in one building!!

Yay, congratulations BorderlineHappy! I'm so glad the scales are moving again for you. You've done so well. Do you have a weight goal? I want to get down to 11st, then maintain till after Christmas, then maybe start again. Well done though!
Well done on your 10 miles too PaperMonster! How big was the building?!
I couldn't sleep last night and came on here to pass some time. Ended up reading [https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4326598-To-ask-you-to-tell-me-the-weirdest-spookiest-thing-you-ve-experience this spooky thread] and felt a bit creeped out. Managed to go back to bed after and sleep though. Warning, only read in daylight with others around!

Try again [https://www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4326598-To-ask-you-to-tell-me-the-weirdest-spookiest-thing-you-ve-experience]
That thread.

I give up. One last try www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/4326598-To-ask-you-to-tell-me-the-weirdest-spookiest-thing-you-ve-experience

3rd times a charm @73kittycat73😂
Ye I want to get down to about 9 stone.
But I have it set for 11 on my app.
Easier to move it rather than depressing myself.

It certainly was.
I'd like to get down to 10st, but am happy to get down to 11 (6.8lb to go) and stay there for a while. I just hope I don't put too much on over Christmas! What method are you using? I'm calorie counting.

I'm cc'ing as well.

OMG I started reading that thread last night then quickly came off it - I’m on my own this weekend and I thought I’d probably scare myself!!

The building is actually a church! I clean it. Am back in there this morning as there’s a wedding so I’ll clean up after the florist has been. I absolutely love cleaning that place. I have had so many lovely experiences whilst doing so!

I went for a family meal on Thursday- first time going out like that since before Covid I think! I managed to stay low carb too, so that was great!

Five miles walked today. Was going to go for a walk this evening but it’s chucking it down! Enjoying the peace and quiet of being on my own!

Hello ladies. That thread is a tad unnerving isn't it? Do you have any pets with you this weekend? I always remember when I moved into my first flat on my own I got a cat, because cats are sensitive to this stuff. I wasn't scared of burglars but if the cat got spooked I'd be out of there! (Luckily never happened. )
Well done on low carbing with the meal out. What did you have?
How's the diet going today BorderlineHappy? Last night, lying in bed, I really 'got it.' I was in the zone. I thought, 'I can do this! It's easy!' An hour later I couldn't sleep as the craving for chocolate was so bad! lol

I have an old lady cat who tries, daily, to kill me. I locked her out of the bedroom so she didn’t try to wake me at daft o clock this morning.

I had a cauliflower poke bowl. Not sure if it was supposed to have noodles in - I encountered two!! So I thought I might as well eat them. There was a lot of green veg in and a flavoursome sauce. I guess the sauce would have been sugary but there wasn’t much of it, it was like a coating rather than a dollop!

Oh I fell off the thread. Apologies. I had chicken sausages and roasted cauliflower for dinner which was pretty nice now having some 85% chocolate. A week tomorrow we're going to a festival and I'm in two minds about what to do.

Option A: stick to low carb, take a low carb bun with me and can ask for a burger in it (not sure what my other options would be?). Pros: means I won't struggle with rollercoaster blood sugar levels all day and won't eat back all the calories from the past week. Cons: I could miss out on some really tasty food like churros 🤤

Option B: eat whatever I please as it's only one day. Pros: I could eat some really tasty food. Cons: rollercoaster sugar levels and overeating calories.

My future self would thank me for option A. Unless I die the following day then my future self would be full of regret

Actually I didn't fall off I've just realised this thread isn't showing in the threads I'm on 🤔

@WreckTangled I don’t always get notifications! Your tea sounds very tasty. I think I’d be tempted to go with Option A myself.

Hello everyone,hows your Sunday going.
Bit out of sorts today.

@WreckTangled I would take option A but eat the churros.

Hello everyone. Sorry to hear you are feeling a bit unsettled today BorderlineHappy. Is there something causing it, or it's just come out of the blue?
Yup, sounds like a typical cat PaperMonster.
Hi WreckTangled. I don't know what I'd do. Actually, I'd probably go with option B. Only you know though how you feel eating that kind of feed. Would your BS instantly respond or is it a day later thing?

*Eating that kind of food

It would instantly respond and probably take a good few days to get back to being normal. It’s so hard, I wish I could just eat whatever. Humph. The trouble is there’s always going to be an occasion or an excuse so I need to stick with it all the time really. I’m an all or nothing kind of person too.
