Shiny new thread to carry us onward through January

@OhioOhioOhio

I thought I'd lost you all. Yay!!! Am so tempted tonight. I hate teaching online.

What age(s) are your dc?

Checking in. Started after the last weekend in Jan so day 8 today. Headachy Friday and Saturday all day but gone now. Tired every morning wide awake every night but drinking lots of water so hopefully flushing out all the toxins! Hopefully will start getting a good 8 hours soon too.

@CandyLeBonBon that is amazing!!!!! 4.1kg wow. Can you start noticing clothes getting looser etc?

Not yet. I've been doing several supermarket shifts and walking about 12000 steps each shift so I'm sure that's got something to do with it! Tummy/waist looks less bloated I think. And boobs are less matronly!

@CandyLeBonBon yep am sure that helps. I am sat at my computer all day so need to get moving. Am very happy today with the vaccine news though. Basking in a bit of hope.

Pp I'm the teacher. Kids aged 8.

Phew, found you all!

Day 11.........

Ah tight - I thought you meant teaching your own kids. Sorry it's such a slug

Slog not slug!

Day 11 great stuff 😁 had a healthy dinner and am on the sugar free orange squash, feels great not to be spending all day wondering if I'm going to have a drink, havnt really noticed any weight loss though even tho I've started a diet . I've got to resist looking in the mirror for a two stone weight loss after 7 days 🤣

Haha @PeacheyPeach I keep doing the same, sucking my tummy in and wondering why it hasn't disappeared completely yet!

I just ate a Cadbury’s flake. Never ate sweet things (because of all the booze). So weird how you then start wanting sweets.

Haha same @goldpendant and @PeacheyPeach - I want instant weight loss NOWWWW!!

Wow @CandyLeBonBon that’s an amazing loss! I don’t have scales but certainly don’t feel any lighter yet .

All I’m drinking is herbal tea and slimline tonic so you’d think it’d have an effect

@Blessex I have the most savoury tastes ever but have been craving sweets recently.

Thanks @Blessex I am trying hard with the weight loss but lying here reading your post I would swop at least 2lbs of it right now for a Cadbury's flake

@123orbust nooo I want your weightloss! Well done everyone. Another day done!

Yay. Another day to tick off. I too have struggled in the morning. Takes ages to come round. Weird!

@Origamiheaven maybe because it’s nearly midnight and I am still faffing around reading mumsnet with insomnia instead of being passed out asleep on the sofa

Morning all and well done everyone. That weight loss is amazing @ candy must make such a difference. It is getting easier though it always is during the week but the weekend was not too bad so can be done and i will cling onto that.
My skin is looking better, probably down to the medication and creams but am going to put it down not drinking to spur me on.

Well I've put on 2kg so my healthy eating starts today. Trouble is I'm trying out vegan Oreo cheesecake recipes for a friend to potentially sell in his business so that's going to be hard to resist. I have far more willpower to resist booze than I do sugar

I'm the same, shattered in the morning and feel really sluggish. This was not how it was meant to be! Still at least am sleeping well in the night. Heading into day 11. I decided to try the Kombucha, elderflower and lemon from Sainsbury's, I liked it!

I’m so jealous of those that are experiencing weight loss. I suppose it’s taken nearly a year to put it on so I must be patient!
I must try this Kombucha you talk of, what are the benefits?

Well done everyone! I’m still in too-I am so chuffed with myself. I feel mentally much better-just more happy.

Day 12. That's 2 days off a fortnight! I'm stunned that I'm on 12 days already! I would normally struggle with 12 hours. Well done everyone and thanks for keeping me on track!
