Some stats from me

FYM 11st 11lb 11st 11lb 0lb 10st 0lb

Add yourself to the list if you want to join me ! I'm going to start with Jason Vales 7 day juice plan then see how it goes....

Weigh in once a week on a Friday morning...

Breakfast - porridge, raisins skimmed milk
After run snack () small bun type cake with raisins in, homemade and no icing so could be worse (clutches at straws)
Lunch - 2 poached eggs on 1 piece of toast (wholemeal no butter !)
Nicked from dd's tea - some chips
Dinner - will be pasta with chicken and tomato spicey sauce. NO garlic bread or wine.

My parents are coming up tomorrow evening for 3 nights because they are going to start overhauling our garden so that means I won't be able to resist WINE or nicer lunches... sigh...

At least, running is back on track (3.25 miles today) and I'll be doing lots of gardening (i.e. heavy ripping out and chucking in skip work) so might wear some of it off.

Have first appointment with Assisted Conception unit on Thursday so will be officially weighed... gulp....

PS - may I whisper... I detest celeriac (and I'm not a fussy eater but its about the only thing i don't eat...). Am sure its a lovely recipe though

Ready · 15/04/2008 18:06

Good luck with your appt Thursday Wheely ... I reckon that all the extra exercise outweighs nicking a few chips.

Wheelybug · 15/04/2008 18:09

and a small icingless cake ... must.... run..... more.....

Thanks for the good wishes - can't work out if I'm dreading it or relieved its finally here...

I've eaten two many cream teas whilst in the west country and also come home with some scones and clotted cream maybe I should go leave them in the mc avenger thread!

I reckon I will have put on 2-3lb by weigh in on Friday.

How does everyone else feel they've done this week?

Ready · 16/04/2008 17:42

Thankfully I am away for a couple of days, so won't be able to weigh in. Phew. I have not been very good, despite my promise.

Wheelybug · 16/04/2008 23:00

A terrible food day in the house of wheely. Went to a friend's house for lunch and was forcefed pizza, garlic bread and brownies for lunch. Then my parnets have arrived so I cooked veg lasagne with garlic bread and wine (and cava pre-dinner).
Am doomed.

Official BMI weigh in tomorrow I suspect so that may snap me back into weight loss action. One can hope.

My pound went straight back on not a good week two

Had initial appt at fertility clinic yesterday and was dreading them telling me I needed to lose loads more weight but she just said, it would be good to lose a little but not to worry too much. So, have changed my target to 9.5 stones because I think thats more likely than 9 stone !

Must all try harder this week. And be encouraging and say 'do not eat that cake/clotted cream scone'.

God I hate exercise.

Well this is no good. I'm losing weight , but I'm feeling bad 'cos no-one else is . Can I just make it clear that I am just dropping back to my "normal" weight (12st7lb) after a fortnight of feasting. Anything below that will be properly worth celebrating.

Have lost a pound. I too need to start exercising ClairePO. We'll have to encourage each other. I'm studying hard at the mo tho so need a couple of weeks to get work done before I can think about exercise as well as uni work - now I'm just making excuses

Well done rattling... don't feel bad at all, you should be setting us a shining example

ClairePO · 18/04/2008 14:58

Well done ratting and Lennie!!

Ready · 18/04/2008 17:04

Well done losers

I haven't weighed as we were in a hotel last night... stuffed my face with fish and chips and haribo (not at the same time, I must stress!) so probably just as well there were no scales in our bathroom

I am going to be starting seriously on Monday (yeah, right where have I heard that before?) as it will be 6 weeks til my hol, and I want to be bikini suitable

ShayeraHol · 18/04/2008 18:34

No result from me this week - have been away on a conference for the last couple of nights, so a. no scales and b. a little too much food & drink! Very nice it was too - couldn't drink too many of the cocktails though as was presenting at 8:30 this morning (booo)

ClairePO · 22/04/2008 12:57

Am having another crap week. Will have to try harder. Once I have finished the banoffee pie in the fridge.

sarah76 · 22/04/2008 14:54

Claire, I'm right there with you....there's a kitkat in my fridge which DP helpfully bought me this morning because HE was stressed and needed chocolate!

Went to our new gym for first time today....just a million more times to go. . .

Ready · 22/04/2008 16:03

B: weetabix and a cup of tea
L: weetabix
D: (will be) fish, crushed potatoes, green beans and a tomato salsa.

sarah76 · 24/04/2008 09:39

Going to put my starting weight up to 113kg, and thinking I might have to go back on the Weight Watchers. I only seem to lose when I write down every bloody thing I put in my mouth!

ClairePO · 25/04/2008 13:02

'tis Friday again Ladies! My lovely little yo-yo pound has gone again this week.

No loss this week (and only able to stick to this weight with judicial use of weight distribution on the scales). May have to put a bit of effort into losing weight - lots of exercise this week, but I need to work on cutting down on the bread and cakes. I just love starch .

Well done Claire

ClairePO · 25/04/2008 13:23

I'm the same rattling, I love starchy thins, bread potatoes etc.

However it's nicer weather now so feel more like eating salads etc so hope that will help!

rattling · 25/04/2008 15:21

I love salad - but doesn't it work so much better with some crusty bread on the side?

I am rubbish at dieting
