Like SHINEY Cult... Like Never Before...

[BellaVita]

Hiya

I'm Bella...

Have about 7lb's to lose before my BiG APPLE trip which is ooooh only a few days to go.

Have had quite a good day food wise, apart from the choc hob nob and glass of wine. No gym today as I am doing extra hours at work invigilating.

How the feck is everyone?

Where are ya? Ya cunts...

Eh up.

Or something.

Hello Trills.

Any NY tips to give me?

Gosh it's been a while?

Reporting for duty!

7lbs would be great for me. I'd like to do it in the next 3 weeks. And then tackle the remaining 5lbs.

Food today..

Mango chunks and cherries with natural yogurt

2 wholemeal pittas with marinated tofu, red pepper, baby corn and mushrooms and hummus

roasted veg with tomatoes and feta cheese.

I would quite like to eat some mini rolls now but I shall have a bath instead.

Ohh NEW YORK

Alright trills...

where is jac? And vinny? And the rest of the GANG?

When I was in NY I was taken to lots of bars by my boss who lived there, and I paid absolutely zero attention to where anything was.

I've heard good things about this though.

funny you should mention the shiney cult as its only just dawned on me that everyone has buggered off......

where are they all?

anyway - i will join. i have 10lb to lose and have had for about the last 5 years.

what are you eating? perhaps you can inspire me.

tomorrow i have planned
porridge made with water for brekky

lunch - garden salad with ham and turkey and a small bread roll
fresh fruit
water

dinner - 2 egg omlette with spring onion/tomato/chorizo
WW yoghurt

treat = 1 (yes 1!!!!) small glass of red wine

and - if im not too knackered and its not toooo sticky i intend on a 20 min run.

i may need you to hold me to that....and the 1 glass of red

It's my birthday tomorrow. And I have a work networking drinks thingy on Wednesday. And stuff planned this weekend. I am not dieting, clearly. Will try to eat nice healthy things rather than trash though. I'm heavier now than I was back when I joined the original healthy Shiney thingy back in 2009.

Thanks for the link Trills.

I am so bloody excited I cannot begin to tell you just how much. Am stressing this week as been asked to work extra and fit everything else in too.

Your food for today sounds lovely Shiney.

Was it really 2009?!

Wow.

I am ...over 2 stone lighter than when we started then. However STILL can't lose this last almost stone.

How long are you going to NY for Bella?

Hey vicar!

Not for long enough! Arrive Sat and fly back overnight Tuesday.

I cannot believe it was 2009 either .

Are you doing anything special tomorrow Trills for your birthday?

Hello Vic.

Shiney I was thinking about you and your weight loss. My best friend has asked me to be her bridesmaid abs the wedding is in 6 weeks. Want to loose 10lbs which I have been really trying to do sine Christmas. Eating bran flakes or smoothie for breakfast, pitta with tuna salad for lunch and salad with chicken and fish with a few new potatos for dinner.

It's so frustrating when you are being good and the weight still doesn't shift

Bella how ling are you in NY for?

Hello twofalls... I had a good push with it from January and then stalled last month but feeling motivated again now!

Hello Y'all. x

Have some weight to lose too.

I am being half good and half bad.

I have half of every meal as salad, drink loads of water, cut down on carbs and coffe,

But then as if by magic, a cake is in my hand and I have inhaled it!

Tis genius I tell you.

My bike is mended though so shall zoom away the calories.

Excited much Bella?

Miiiiiitz! Hello Half good and half bad is well ok I think!

blimey, a while since I posted on a Shiney thread, but I guess the word CULT just drew me back, like some weird form of hypnotice suggestion . (TotalChaos here).

But hello all. I am also in the thick of dieting - I lost 3 stone 2 years ago, put on 2 stone last year, and lost 1.5 stone this year. So Am 2.5 stone under my heaviest weight, but still 2.5 stone to go to the magic BMI 25.

NY sounds marvellous Bella, have you planned out the shopping/galleries/cocktails already?

Oh hello!
I am the exact weight I was when I started with you mofos in 2009. Though have lost and gained back umpteen stones. And am flabbier cos I can't exercise as much now I am wohm.

Not long to NY then Bella?!

That sounds about like my weight loss calculations TLP!!

Lost a bit, gained loads, lost it all, put half back on etc...

JUMPS ON LIZZY AND LICKS HER xx

Hi Mittz, nice to "talk" to you again, yes, think I have to face up to the dreaded permanent lifestyle change, and the fact that I can't get away with eating the sort of stuff I did in my twenties. But I refuse to give up coffee or diet drinks!

We are going to see Rock of Ages. Not booked anything else yet. Tried to get tickets for the 911 Memorial bit the online allocation for this weekend had already gone (this was a few weeks ago). Will queue on the day. Going to do Central Park/Strawberry Fields, Times Square (after the show - need to see it lit up in the dark), a cruise, Empire State, Grand Central and hopefully The Rockerfella Centre. We will then need another holiday when we get back!

ohhhhhh as if by magic!! hello shiney! where are you these days? i just started a thread asking where you and bof and other noticable absentees are!

i didnt realise how much weight you had lost! thats brilliant.

10lb would do me and i just cant find my motivation. am working tomorrow - so will be good.
if i need to snack im taking fruit and only fruit with me. its the wine i will have to watch....

....and hi bella!

so quite action packed already then Bella! Rock of Ages looks like it will be great fun, like Glee but with decent songs and without the school dramas.
