peopel hwo have put on or lost a HUGE amount of weight

[cod]

what was it that you ate that put on so much wiehgt

for me whn i was 11 stone ansd 7 lbs it was drink and night snacks

c hips after hte pub or currys ( was a student) and also 4pm toast

one takeaway a fortnight

toast is the ULTIMATE comfort food

dripping with butter

takaways are mingin

boiled chicken

meat from god know what animal

clumpy rice

bleugh

but are you starving whne you ahev it?
no i ban toast except for at breakfast
never have toast int he day
odd
and never wtahc tv either
btoh are banned

hmm, yes, bread was the thing I forgot on my list of foods I couldn't stop eating

I don't eat it now - if I do, I have a pavlovian response and start gorging, so know it's one of my "trigger" foods.

I lost a stone and a half after having dd1

I am normally about 10 10 and was 12 stone

my downfall atm is malt loaf with loads of butter

i have toast nearly every day for my lunch

i used t have it for brekkie too but now i have cereal (rice crispies)

toast is one of my downfalls

in fact all carbs are my downfall. hence I am enormous. Have managed to get rid of a lot of my sugar cravings over the last few weeks and lose a few pounds. am now going to embark on the GI diet as what's good enough for Puff is good enough for me!

STOP THE TOAST

yummy toast - and it has to be white bread too

i especially love the heel toasted

i was grabbing takeaways or quick meals out when i am on way home from harefield. i have stopped that (dd1 not happy but tough lol). ialso dont buy bread anymore, but make my own. but i dont touch it. thats for the kids now.

oh I was quite proud because I haven't eaten white bread for weeks and weeks. I have sunflower & linseed or something

it's still bloody toast though....

takeaways are so expensive too

take a packed lunch misdee

georginarf have you lost weight though without eating bread

Toast
Malt loaf - have eaten almost a whole one in one go
Snacking when home from work pre-supper
chocolate (green and black's butterscotch)
too much wine
mistaking thirst for hunger

your kids had takeaways too?
hmm NOT good md

mine have never had one i dont htink < sorry to be smug>

ireally dont htough

i know np. i have started to take food with me. or go after i have eaten at home.

it doesnt help when people say 'oh your fine the way you are' i need someone to say 'oh my godm you;ve really let yourself go, get it sorted woman'

i have never been slim, but when i met peter i was a size 16. am now a 20-24 depending on where i shop.

I have lost some weight through not eating puddings/ice cream/sweets/chocolate over the last few weeks (even whilst on holiday with DH stuffing his face in front of me)

but I have many stones to go.

we are lucky where we live with takeaways, we have an award winning Indian restaurant, uses local produce using free range birds and stuff and natural herbs - nice treat and we limit to once every 3-4 weeks.
DS is 12 and he will share this with us.

yes cod, my kids have eaten takaways. but they are usually at home with grandparents being fed by them. i am just a pig. oink oink.

When I split up with xp and started seeing dh I had gone down to a size 6.
I'd also started a new job at the same time which was a few doors down from a very good bakers and the staff would have a mid morning snack from there everyday, followed by lunch.

When I say snack it consisted of a pasty and a bun or cake of some description then a big sandwich and chocolate bar for lunch.

Needless to say I crept back up to a 12 in about 2 months.

oh i have just got the kids an 8ft trampoline, and am just in the weight limit to use it, so will be using it in the evenings to get rid of a few calories lol.

ditto puddle

Yes and I blame all of you for introducing me to Green and Blacks. Totally ruined me over Christmas. I saw them at our Global Market and said..humm...think I heard something on Mumsnet about these.....OMG. Quite tastey. :o I have a brother-in-law that lives where they are made/shipped, do they have a place where the deformed ones go? G&B Outlet?

I was a skinny child, a skinny teen and skinny at University. When I graduated I didn't find a job for 2 years (that big old recession, remember?) and I went back to my parents to live. I had been about 8 - 8.5 stone. By the time I started work I had crept up to 11 and that's the weight I was when I got pregnant with ds1. Went up to 13.5 in pregnancy - within 3 months of having ds1 I was 8.5 stone again (the amazing breast-feeding and PND diet - works wonders).

Then the weight started to creep up again. I did Rosemary Conley and lost 2 stone. Then I had a miscarriage, then 6 months later I was pregnant with ds2. After ds2 was born I went up to 12 stone.

Did WeightWatchers, lost 3 stone. Christmas 2004 I weighed 9 stone. Since then it's crept up again - I'm back at 11.

Went back to WW with my tail between my legs last week and lost 4.5 lbs.

It's not the losing it, it's the keeping it off that I find so hard. I have to face the fact that I may have been naturally skinny once but I'm not any more - I do have to watch what I eat very carefully.

My downfalls are...well, everything really. I don't eat crap (apart from crisps, I'm a crisp monster) but I love cooking, I love red wine, cheese....

That turned into a bit of a confessional. Thanks for listening, people. My name is moo and I'm a greedy guts
