Natty1806 · 24/10/2006 09:29

Well done

Natty1806 · 24/10/2006 18:07

Bad day today seem to be so hungry and want to eat everything in site.

Am off to the gym in the morning hopefully that will burn some of the badness off . x

Thanks Natty. I have written everything down all week and overall have been quite good but yesterday I was starving and cold (miser of a boss won't put heating on and I had my coat on at my desk!) so I went to Starbucks and had a skinny hot chocolate (not too bad) and a cinnamon whirl - then checked their website for nutritional values and the cake had over 1000 calories in it !

Good luck today Coggy

bet it tasted nice though. Mean boss not putting the heating on, if it below 16 in an office you have the right to go home. x

coggy · 25/10/2006 17:05

HOW CAN ONE CAKE HAVE NEARLY A WHOLE DAY'S WORTH OF CALORIES IN IT????????

Do not send me anymore good wishes for my weigh-ins.....I am a total failure......I am feeling fat and bloated and pre-menst and yuck!

Not helped by the fact that DH and I went to Pizza Hut instead of my class ()....BUT I do have good excuses although I know I should have none...............

I think I want to be pg so I don't have to go back and so I keep waiting for AFs!!!
Could be years then before I return!!!
I will continue to weigh-in at home.....Friday AMs and eventually I WILL get a grip and go back to RC!!!!

As long as I'm not putting on at home I will be okay.

Sorry!!!!!
I am SO bad!!!!

Natty1806 · 25/10/2006 17:44

Don't worry coggy i have had yet another bad day this week so not sure if i will weigh on Friday as i will only despress myself.

Hope you enjoyed your pizza hut. x

coggy · 25/10/2006 18:19

I felt really bad when I read yours and MrsMc's posts wishing me good luck for my weigh-in!

I suppose it's good that I feel accountable to you.......keeps me from being worse than I am!!!

Just had porridge for tea....comfort food!!

And yes.....pizza was LOVELY!!!!!

MrsMc......c'mon now........you're doing it for all of us tonight I think!!!

RachelRose · 25/10/2006 21:52

Urrrmmmm, hello!! Haven't been on here for ages... No excuse really as have been on the positive threads, but I just knew I was being really bad!!! Weighed myself for the first time in 2 weeks and have gained 4 pounds!! . I know exactly why... curry, cake, pizza, the odd bit of wine. My excuse would be that we'd had visitors but... well that pretty poor isn't it.

Anyway am now paying the price as feel bloated and disgusting. My work trousers felt all tight and uncomfortable today. I must do better, I must do better, I must do better.

I know what I should eat when I go to restaurants / sandwich shops but then when I see all the yummy stuff i cave in and say "Well, maybe just for today" - But then I say that 3 or 4 times a week.

Anyway, sorry to rant, but feeling pretty low about it tonight. I was meant to be losing weight for xmas not gaining it. My mum said to me the other day "what bra size are you now because it looks like you've gained weight". I was mortified!!!

MrsMcJ - I may need your encouragement to go for the salad tomorrow and not the pizza

Hello ladies! Lost a pound (but maybe the "3 meals in 1 day" cake hasn't got a grip yet!). I did write everything down and did do a bit more exercise - though not enough. I will do better Natty - promise!

Coggy - in the past when I was really committed to losing weight, I did it and got to my target but since then when I have more important things on my mind like my wedding before and now TTC, it takes a back seat. I think I have to accept that I'll try but not as hard as I did when it was my main focus. It sounds to me like you feel the same way! Mmm pizza sounds lovely!

Hi RachelRose - Sorry to hear you are not happy with yourself, I think you look fine with nothing there to lose! I agree about resturants, I don't eat out that much and when I do, I feel cheated if I chose something I don't really like - today - I know I should be going for a pasta with a tomato sauce, but know that I won't! That said, going to see "The Devil wears Prada" tonight with a mate so no time for dinner so lunch counts for both! I'll try and encourage to be good!

Well done Mrs

at you mum's comment RR. x AM sure you look fine.

I have been so bad this week am dreading weigh in tomorrow think i will have gained at least 2 pounds.

Must try harder now with the run up to Xmas but now i am in the 2 ww my brain keeps having conversations with itself 'don't eat too little, exercise too hard you might be pregnant' MIGHT being the operative word.

Sorry i am not mad really x

coggy · 26/10/2006 13:30

I think we all do it.............I use that as my excuse for not going to class.

There's no point paying the rejoin fee in the 2WW as I might be pg and then not need to go!!!!

A really effective way of putting off diet and exercise IMO............and I totally agree with you MrsMc about the focus thing.
My main focus is ttc and the other stuff is secondary.

Well done Mrs!

coggy · 29/10/2006 08:11

Okay.....only two days late.....but worth the wait......I lost a pound.

Probably something to do with the time delay etc. etc.
But hurrah anyway!!!!!

stretchmarks · 29/10/2006 08:58

hi there,

Well now that AF has arrived I have decided to focus my energy on shifting a few pounds this month as I had been indulging in too many goodies last month. Not sure today is the best day to start - off to lunch at a friends house followed by Halloween party later - still I've been saying I'll start tomorrow for far too long.

Well done to everyone on their weight loss so far.

coggy · 29/10/2006 09:12

Sorry to hear that AF has come Stretchy......my temps dropped today (although cos of the hour change it's all gone a bit wrong on the chart!!) so mine will be here later today or tomorrow.
Cycle buddies for November you and me!!

I decided last week that if AF did come then November would be the month where I get a grip of my last 10 1/2 pounds!!!!!

I PUBLICLY DECLARE THAT NOVEMBER IS 'GET-A-GRIP' MONTH FOR COGGY............there.....no going back now!!!!!

Natty1806 · 29/10/2006 09:25

Well done on the loss coggy

Welcome stretch, i am going to get re-focused as of today and try and be good with my slight hang over. x
