Need to lose a few pounds after Christmas.......

[Natty1806]

Hello

Am starting a thread for people like me who need to lose a few pounds (well more like a stone) after eating and drinking far too much in the past month (again if telling the truth year)

i will post my starting weight and height on 01/01/07

anyone fancy joining me??

Oh, meant to say, for my birthday I got the strictly come dancing workout dvd with Lilia I did ask for it ... haven't tried it yet

Thanks, Cedar.

I did actually do quite a lot of exercise yesterday: took dd in her baby carrier and the dog for a long walk involving a big hill, went to town with dd, and then another walk with dd in her buggy and the dog. The weather is horrid today, so no long walks planned.

What's the Lilia dvd like, Ready? I've been toying with the idea of getting one, but don't know which to choose.

I have both of Davina's workout dvds. and I love them, especially the box-a-cise one. really gets the heart pumping.

not tried the Lilia one yet. lazy I know. as soon as you'll be the first to know if it good or not!!

I'm feeling virtuous - I walked passed the gu shelf in Tesco!

You walked PAST!! Good for you!! I had chinese meal out last night, not good, so expecting to have put on a lb or two.

oops - my mind is on chocolate so much I can't spell anymore ! I did cave in to a kitkat this morning, after a long walk with dd and the dog. Hope you enjoyed your meal last night.

Sorry, I am pmsl here I really wasn't picking you up on your spelling... giggle. I typed past as big as I was impressed by your willpower!! I just told DH that you will think I am a right snotty cow picking you up on your post. I'm sorry, I just typed it without thinking

Still chuckling away here. I feel so guilty though, I would never be so snotty to correct someone's spelling

Actually, it is the kind of thing I would do - I have a thing about apostrophes in the wrong place... dd is going to hate me when she starts school!

Just had poached eggs on toast for our late lunch. It's the first time I have poached an egg in my life, how shocking is that!! They were not too bad.

I love poached eggs but I can't cook them to save my life - mine come out either like soggy lacy things, or something that would bounce if you dropped it! So we had 'fried' eggs, ie cooked without oil in a non-stick pan.

Continuing the egg theme I just had scrambled eggs for lunch, they were lovely with a bit of salt and pepper. Nice and quick in the micrwave.
A bit fed up my weight is all over the place I havent lost anything but been very naughty.Was the same weight on saturday but I weighed today which I know i shouldnt do so soon and I have put on 2lbs. I am going to take the first weight Doing quite well with exercise 3.5 miles jog last night almost killed me though. I am going to get out my slimming world books and try and follow them for a while might even join again if that dosent work.
The sticky toffee pudding were lovely but a bit sickley.
Just found out dh has been having sneeky fags at work so trying to get him to give up again the only trouble is he has started to eating loads of biscuit instead trying not to join him.

I'm 2lb heavier this morning , but I'm not really surprised as was VERY naughty last week. So I'm sat here with my stomach rumbling wondering what to have for lunch.

Well I stuck. Weighed a day early again, and wished I hadn't cos I may lose some overnight (yeah right!!)... So looks like none of us have been very good, unless Natty is going to tell me different?? ... still it's another week! We can do it!!

must stop eating bread, must stop eating bread, must stop eating bread ....!

I know, that is my weakness too. I love bread or toast the most!!!

Girls, I need some support - I'm giving up chocolate for Lent - shock, horror! The allowing myself a little bit approach isn't working.

Good luck Roskva, The little bit dosent work for me either. I am afraid this week is a write off food wise for me so far 3 kitkats last night pancakes tonight. I just like naughty food far to much I am afraid. Exercise wise still doing ok 3mile jog tonight. But dont think its enough with what I eat!

We had pancakes last night, but for tea, not dessert of tea. Only lemon juice and a sprinkle of sugar too, no maple syrup!!

Good for you Roskva, giving up chocolate for Lent!! Keep it up!!

I am the opposite, if I allow myself a little treat here and there I am usually ok, it's when I deprive myself I crack and polish off a ton of the stuff

3 kitkats Cedar that is indulging You seem to make up for it though with exercise. That is my problem, before ttc I was so motivated, then I started to worry that exercise might be hampering the egg sticking (really daft!) so I let it slide, and then once out of the habit it's hard to get back into it.

I had maple syrup on my pancakes, in the true spirit of bingeing and then living like a puritan for a month!

i am writing of this week cream cake at work yesterday and then more kitkats!

Cedar, you will turn into a kitkat

Roskva, I love maple syrup,

I did not too bad yesterday, although I did have a wagon wheel just before bed (cardinal sin!) with a mug of ovaltine.

Oops, I was lead astray by my mate at lunch time - we both had pud , so I deserve a slap on the wrist.

For my lunch I had raw cauliflower and carrot sticks, an orange yoghurt and some corn crackers - and even though they tasted like little slabs of cardboard, they were the tastiest part

So far I am on 1.5 litres of water today, and still thirsty Clearly dehydrated.

For tea we are having bolognaise, which is a naughty treat, hence the rabbit food for lunch. But I will load my plate up with salad so I don't over do the bol.

Ready you are putting me to shame, spag bogs not to bad either. I must drink more to
