Anyone want to join me in a very easy peasy diet?

Im on hols in June so that is my incentive. Beginning of December I went of a cut down diet. All I did, was after my main meal at night, I ate.... NOTHING. No picking... chocolate, biscuits, popcorn (dont we love our popcorn on MN? , crisps....nothing. Oh and no pudding!

I lost nearly 1/2 stone just by not picking.

I ate what I liked during the day, biscuit, chocolate... what ever I liked, but just stopped at night.

I have to say, I did go to bed a little bit hungry, but felt so gooooooood the next day, especially as by the end of the first week my stomach had gone down considerably, and by the second week my clothes felt looser.

Who wants to join me? anyone?

Yes Wolfgirl, I was JaamyBunny - I change my name to be topical, annoying I know but I can't help myself. Always have Jaamy in there somewhere so best to just have me down on the list as Jaamy. hink my stats were off a bit as I weighted with new scales this week (but will check on my mum's scales where I weighed orignally tomorrow). Wouldn't it be lovely if I had lost 5lbs in one week but judging from the tightness of my trousers I think there was a definitely glitch somewhere!

Well done to neversaynever! You'll be slim as a pin in no time at that rate!

Wolfgirl · 03/04/2008 18:37

Oh Lordy, save me from myself!!!!!!! Aaaarrrgghhhh, DH has just bought home the most exquisite, delicious, chocolate covered, profitaroles with alcohol. So! this looks def. to be my night OFF! I put two in my bowl with a ball of ice-cream, but they were soooooooo rich I put one back. Feel like I've redeemed myself a bit.

I guess I ought to cut out a few nice-eties tomorrow eh! ooh la la. but man the guilt!!!!!! and Ive been doing so well.

ah well

OP posts:
MamaChris · 03/04/2008 19:53

you put one back wolfgirl?!? ooh and impressed at your willpower! definitely some redemption there

Wolfgirl · 03/04/2008 20:03

I diiiiiiiiiid! Not sure how I feel, like a pendulum tbh.... smug at putting one back, but pooh pants wretched at eating one and a lump of ice-cream.

where is the justice, I ask, why cant I just enjoy! I will learn I expect. And, after all, I did make this my night off.

I will be talking, pepping and councilling myself all night now, convincing myself that it was OK. LOL

OP posts:
MamaChris · 03/04/2008 22:13

a night off should be a night off imo. enjoy it! pleasure doesn't have to be followed by guilt

Wolfgirl · 04/04/2008 08:26

Morning ladies just a little note of encouragement! keep going!!!!

OP posts:
JustJaamy · 05/04/2008 12:44

Hello Everyone! Hope all doing ok and will power is holding up.

Well done Wolfgirl for putting one of those sinful profiteroles back, thought they did sound devine. But can't help feeling you should have made the most of your night off!

DH has been ever so supportive. He has joined me on the no snacking after dinner and stopped me reaching for the biscuits last night. We're having salsd for lunch but have agreed a night off tonight with a few glasses of wine...can't wait

Wolfgirl · 05/04/2008 20:17

aaahhhh JJ, thats great DH is helping. Mine just bought home those chocolate proffy things and two bags of chocolate something or other. He didnt half get it in the neck. then he said, oh I thought I was helping you cos they are those Aero bubble chocolate ball thingies....

er... no!!!!!!!!!!! Like, when would I ever just have a couple to nibble on, it would be the whole bag LOL

did really well last night, not so well tonight, have just nibbled tiny bit of chocky, but in the main, stayed good today. Jumped on the scales this AM, and no movement since weigh in day, so not looking too hopeful for next Tues weigh in, but we shall see. Must be more discipled with everything. Mmmmmm.... this might start getting hard! LOL

OP posts:
JustJaamy · 05/04/2008 22:31

LOL at "those Aero chocolate bubble ball thingies". Bless him, men really don't have any idea about chocolate, do they?

Had a nice evening but didn;t get carries away...funny how you lose the urge for nibbling after a while. now, watch me have put on half a stone at the weigh-in LOL

Wolfgirl - don't dispair about this week, keep going!

DrNortherner · 05/04/2008 22:33

Evening ladies, I'd like to join if I may? Spotted this thread the other day and have been doing it so now would like to make it official.

What do I do to join up please?

JustJaamy · 05/04/2008 22:44

Hi DrNortherner!

We're just trying to do a simple diet and motivate each other as we go along. Weigh-in day is Tuesday.

The genius behind it is Wolfgirl, if you leave an email address, I'm sure she'll contact you with all the details...

DrNortherner · 05/04/2008 22:52

OK I will CAT her with my details. Thanks.

NeverSayNever · 05/04/2008 22:57

Hi all, would love to preen and say it was easy, but to be honest, this last week has been horrid, had my friends funeral on Thursday, and just havn't felt like eating. Anyway, we gave her a send off she would have been proud of, lots of vodka and happy stories and memories.

I am getting my appetite back now, so we will see what news the scales bring on Tuesday [crossed fingers]

Good luck all of you and keep at it

Wolfgirl · 06/04/2008 09:16

DrNortherner -welcome. Yes, CAT me your details and I will add you to the spreadsheet. Give me your Current weight, and then I will take your new weight on Tuesday.

neversaynever - bless you my love. Be easy on yourself eh? This diet is ongoing, its not an overnight achievement thingy. There is no race here, just us ladies trying to get a grip of ourselves.

Honestly, dont beat yourself up. I ate chocolate last night, albeit only a small pack of choc buttons, but still. And this morning it seems Ive put on 1/2lb, which is strange as I havent over eaten, but I think Im getting ready for girlie time, so there maybe some water retention going on.

Also, the good news is, my jeans are a little looser, so the scales tell me one thing, but my clothes tell me another.

strange, non?

OP posts:
Thomcat · 06/04/2008 09:23

Go on then. Lets see if this will stop me from picking. Have a lot of baby weight to lose. Still breastfeeding a 6 month old and, bored, tired and 2 stone overweight and doing nothing about it but eating deserts!

So what do you need to know?

I'm 11 stone, want to be 9.

Wolfgirl · 06/04/2008 10:56

at Thomcat go on then - as though Im twisting your arm LOL. Anyway, welcome m'dear. Thanks for the stats, but can I have your email addy, so I can add to you to the weekly distribution list I have set up on Outlook?

Also, what is your incentive please? And btw, today is your start day so no puddings.

However, this is an eat what you LIKE diet, during the day, then stop picking after 6pm. But Im thinking more and more that this could be painfully slow, if we continue to eat what we like during the day, so I might have to introduce some new painfully twisted rules LOL

watch this space ladies, and make sure you read your weekly email from me. Hope you are still all up for it!! ha ha ha ha >

Wolfgirl · 06/04/2008 19:36

duomonstermum about your Pcos. My friend has it quite severely. There is an internet support site you could join, I will find out the link for you. Well done for perservering !!!

hope the tests come back that AF is just temperamental.....altough it would explain the sudden appearance of the 'tachehave to laugh or will cry. at least my chest isn't as hairy as DH!! see, there's always something to be grateful for lol

Thomcat · 06/04/2008 20:38

Have no idea what you're emailing me, lol, but course you can have it, it's sara at soulbrother dot org dot uk . Why do people type it like that btw? I'm just doing it cos everyone else seems to!

My incentive - what other than being a fat cow and looking shit in all my clothes?!!!! Ledt me think...ohh I know - going to Ibiza in August with all my girly mates, none of whom have ever had kids, are all slim stunning and and half of them work in fashion and are utterly fabulous!!! Incentive enough?!!!!!

Oh shit! I can't believe that as I was typing that i started a bag of maltesers I'm going to be crap at this! That's awful.

DrNortherner · 06/04/2008 21:23

I have just emailed TC asking if she will give me wolfgirls email addy.

Don;t want to put email address on here as it has my surname in it IYKWIM!
