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?

Oh, and I have to ask you all that have left emails, are you happy to be included in the spreadsheet?

the column headings read:

MN Name; RL Name; current weight;Incentive ?; target weight; and then several columns, one per week for weigh in.

Mornin M'Lovelies,

I had tea at about 6pm and had curry, rice and a pitta bread. I nothing after that and just drank water.

I'm taking DS for swimming lessons tonight so will weigh myself at the pool.

countryhousehotel · 19/03/2008 07:40

hi - can i join you ladies? my dd is 20 months now. I am about half a stone heavier today than i was post-natally!!!! I am blaming it on stopping breastfeeding last July when she turned one.....seems to have crept on since then. Feel that i am putting on weight now but managed not to during pregnancy. Time to do something before spring.

Wolfgirl what do i need to do to get on your spreadsheet?

mehdismummy · 19/03/2008 07:56

ooh me too please. Is it too late wolfgirl?

TaLcYonHerTodd · 19/03/2008 08:03

Are we allowed alcohol post teatime?
Does that count, wolfgirl?

futurity · 19/03/2008 08:23

Hi! Can I join? I lost my baby weight after DS2 this way..I was so tired in the evening i just went to bed at 7 so didn't snack and my baby weight just fell off! Now of course its different and evenings are most defintely my downfall..the rest of the day I am fairly ok. I will also add to this that I WILL drink more water as last year I had kidney stones and the hospital told me off for not drinking enough!

What info do you need from me? Don't really want to post my email address here...can you CAT me?

ScoobyDoo · 19/03/2008 08:24

My email is scooby24 @ ntlworld.com

NeverSayNever · 19/03/2008 08:42

Can I join please? been looking at losing some weight.

neversaynever96 @ yahoo.co.uk

Nbg · 19/03/2008 09:47

Ok I am starting today but only because dh walked in last night with 3 bars of chocolate and a posh sponge choc toffee dessert thingy.

Showmeheaven · 19/03/2008 10:31

Wolfgirl, I won't join you on the email part (if thats ok) because my full, real name is on my email address and I'd be too ashamed to let the world know how much I weigh

But I will be doing it for sure, and will be happy to join in on this part. Hope thats o.k.

duomonstermum · 19/03/2008 12:07

i don't mind being on the spreadsheet. prob need to spread it wider to make room for my bum....much as i love DH, he really should have mentioned that it was gaining it's own postcode

JaamyBunny · 19/03/2008 12:25

Hello!

Can I please join? Am TTC so don't want to do anything drastic but could be doing with losing a stone. Just need to cut out the snacking, especially when DH is away with work. This sounds perfect. Don't have any scales so will have to weigh at Mum's and won't always be the same day each week. Hope that's ok, Wolfgirl.

Thanks - tracey at patrickhouse dot co dot uk

Wolfgirl · 19/03/2008 18:01

Showmeheaven I can take emails off the spreadsheet for those who dont want them listed. Also, you can just keep to your MN name on the spreadsheet too.

Also, Im going to create a Group email, and list everyone Blind CC - iykwim. If you dont, basically it means, you will receive your spreadsheet and any other emails from me, but no one else will know you have received it.

Nbg you are soooooooooo funny. I think this week is just getting ourselves phsyced (spelling?) - and me getting the names and spreadsheet set up. Maybe we should start properly after Easter, cos it is a bugger of time to start just before eh!

Me though, I am starting now,because I have holiday in June. Ive been out trying to buy bikinis and clothes, and my body should belong in a donar kebab window, its disgusting.

Im not saying to anyone dont start till next week, but I understand if you slip, or prefer not to start till next Tuesday.

There are at least 20 of us now, and I shall list you all a little later tonight Then once Ive set the group email up, I shall send the spreadsheet out.

countryhousehotel - can you leave your email here, or CAT me?

NeverSayNever - yep, got you down, no worries

JaamyBunny - yep, got you down too my lovely.

Please leave me your emails, or CAT me. And let me know if you are happy to have your details on the spreadsheet.

Just a reminder whats on the spreadsheet:

MN Name; RL Name; current weight;Incentive ?; target weight; and then several columns, one per week for weigh in.

Im happy to change any of this, or exclude personal details if you prefer. But do let me know before OUR official start date next Tuesday.

Showmeheaven · 19/03/2008 18:49

Cool! Thats great Wolfgirl but how do I CAT you with my email address. What does CAT mean anyway ? (she says feeling very stupid

Wolfgirl · 19/03/2008 18:53

Showmeheaven - ah now then, you have to contact MNHQ and pay them £5. that way you can contact another MNttr privately and securely. Use the Contact us link at the top of the page. I think.

keevamum - Mmmmm....absolutely! what is your email addy please?

futurity - I think we both need to be registered with MN to CAT each other.

kerryMum - you'd think so, wouldnt you , but somehow its goes awry at night time LOL

OP posts:
futurity · 19/03/2008 19:34

i just checked and I am registered to receive CAT's but not to send them. This should be fine though as I found a thread that says you can receive CAT's even if you haven't signed up to send them. Do you want to give it a go?
