Hello!

Three years since our first weight loss thread and we are still here! Just!

Well, I finally did it! I've lost err... 74lbs since May 2011 and now weigh 9 stone 4 and am a size 8-10, as opposed to umm.. 'lots heavier' and a size 16 /18.

I am really wanting to maintain, tone up, drop a couple more lbs and stay like this so any healthy eating /gym chit chat sounds good to me.

Now - where are we all???

BIWI, I may pop into your low carb thread. I need to get a bloody grip on things.

BellaVita · 25/09/2012 22:04

Yay for 12lbs Lizzy Envy

BIWI · 25/09/2012 22:13

You will be very welcome, Bella!

BellaVita · 25/09/2012 22:20

Thing is, I am sick of eating salads at work, I have them days a week, today I really struggled as I was cold and just did not fancy eating yet another salad. I work on a reception and am unable to have hot food on there, so I will definitely be looking for inspiration.

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 11:10

Bella i hate salads when im cold too, i just want to eat things like cumberland sausage, buttery mash and onion gravy

Can you not even have soup?

ive had nothing to eat today yet

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 13:25

i have eaten

lentil soup & packet of quavers, not bad you might think but ive just spoilt it by making a cup of thorntons white hot chocolate (kept in my desk draw for emergencies)

the emergency is im depressed because i STILL (18 months on) have a crush on a very gorgeous married work collegue of mine, and he has spent most the the day sat helping me and i dreamt about him last night Blush how do i stop this huge infatuation!?

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 13:27

i sometimes look to see if he is still wearing a wedding ring in the hope that he might have got divorced over the weekend Blush

Lizzylou · 26/09/2012 15:25

Oh Vinny!
It is hard when you have impure thoughts about people you shouldn't isn't it?

You need a new love interest. Any prospectives in the area? Big hunky Matt Baker type farmers???

I think I may re-enrol at the gym tonight. Am just not getting to do my Jillian Ripped DVD enough and cannot possibly get up at 6am to do it. I'd just cry.

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 15:37

how often do you do jillian lizzy? you are doing so fabulously well, im in ore of you

i have searched high and low for a man, there is no-one [sadface]

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 15:42

i know this is cruel of me but, you know at school there was always one girl who you thought would never ever get a boyfiend because they hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down and then got wacked with the ugly stick a few times at the bottom? (im such a twat for even thinking that)

well that 'girl' just changed her fb status to 'in a relationship' waaaaaaa, why can she get a bloke and i cant? im so drepressed, im a horrible person

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 15:45

gah i shouldnt even say these things out loud let alone in text

Lizzylou · 26/09/2012 15:50

Vinny you are a wonderful, beautiful, talented, intelligent and funny woman. With an amazing rack.
You are just one for settling. Nor should you!

I do Jillian 2/3 times a week, not at all this week yet! Blush

Lizzylou · 26/09/2012 15:50

Sorry!
You are just NOT one for settling

VinegarTits · 26/09/2012 15:55

aww shucks lizzy Blush i am massively a tad fussy

2/3 times a week is brill, my db who is super fit, keeps telling me if i do 20 mins of cardio 3 times a week i would see results, but im too lazy to never take his advice

BellaVita · 26/09/2012 18:51

Nope, not even soup Vinny. You will find a man - he is probably just around he corner waiting for you.

I am going to Pilates tonight. Would have gone to the gym this aft, but went for a full Elemis body scrub (on offer) which came with a mini facial and I also had my nails done. I had a voucher since last year and some points on a loyalty card, so it cost me nothing Grin.

MistressIggi · 26/09/2012 21:10

Vinny maybe you could think about what is attractive about the married man, and then look for someone else with the same qualities?
Everyone goes through a drought now and then, soon you will be back to beating them off with a stick.

I don't think anyone has even chatted me up since I had DS1 Sad

Bella, could you not have lunch in the staffroom? Or are the teachers biatches? Grin

Lizzylou · 26/09/2012 21:12

OOH Bella Envy sounds lovely.
Have got a free 5 day trial at the gym (despite only cancelling a few months ago).
Worked v hard and it felt good.

Will prob re-join next week Grin

Vinny, you could do Shred/Ripped once DS2 is in bed? It is only 20mins? You do see quick results as well.

DorsetKnob · 26/09/2012 21:15

Mwa, mwa, a name change but no lighter.

BellaVita · 26/09/2012 21:45

Hello DK [gri ]

Iggi, sadly no staff room. All faculties have their own. We do have an admin office where the kitchen is but I do not really qualify to have a "lunch break". I start at 11.30 Mon and Tue and finish at 1.15 Wed/Thur/Fri, I sort of eat and work and hope with each mouthful the phone does not ring.

Pilates was hard tonight - I picked heavier hand weights and I kept going all hot Blush.

BellaVita · 26/09/2012 21:46

Oops that failed DK Grin

VinegarTits · 27/09/2012 11:04

lizzy ive tried shred, i nearly died it was so hard Grin

VinegarTits · 27/09/2012 11:06

i cant even managed to keep up with using my cross-trainer, and i can do that while watching telly, and its easy on my asthma, im just a lazy bitch

MistressIggi · 27/09/2012 13:23

I think the cross trainer burns a lot of calories, do you feel good after using it Vinny? I have one but it's in storage as I need the space in my room for the cot - I could really be using it now too!

VinegarTits · 27/09/2012 14:17

i dont feel good no, i just feel knackered Grin might give it another go later, exercise is so boring....

BIWI · 27/09/2012 15:31

Not when your trainer is a 24 year old man ... Grin
