Revolutionaries of The Shiney Path - The Gorillas In Our Midst Eat Healthily

[BitOfFun]

Welcome to our 22nd Healthy Eating thread under the auspicious eye of Shiney the Cult Leader. She is vegetarian (like a gorilla), but you don't have to be! Or hairy!

I may be getting distracted by my over-cryptic thread title (it is hard when all the obvious ones have been done- fwiw The Shining Path are a South American guerrilla group and I'm looking at watching Che on dvd later, what can I say...), but I have been appointed Tsar With Authority for Titles, and starting this on a Friday night may be ill-judged, BUT...

We are here with the aim of eating healthily, losing weight in varying amounts if that is what we wish, and most of all posting as often as we're able to support each other. We have a good laugh too. Allegedly. But we're no trouble, no siree...

New-comers very welcome, just introduce yourselves and pile in!

Morning all. Swam half a mile this morning. Going to try vaguely to eat healthily.

Well done for calling the doctor Shiney.

d e is not d m - someone came onto the what happened thread a bit late, didn't read properly and thought someone had suggested that. No-one actually suggested it, it was a misunderstanding that got blown up into an accusation (I think).

holy shit
have just been having a read around and i cant believe whats been going on on mn

Ah harley, you've been around a while, surely you've seen a few come and go.

holy shit...

harley have you turned into batman..?

yeah i know trills...its nuts tho

punkydude!

OMG I am utterly, utterly confused - WTF have I missed? What's going on, on MN? Someone tell me where to look!! That'll teach me to only check in briefly!

Can't believe you're still waiting Slimey....well actually I can, NHS!

There is nowhere to look, all threads about it get deleted (potential troll). So we can't say here either. Just in general be careful and appropriately suspicious and don't get too involved with heavy emotional stuff, okay?

Ok, will take note & be careful

agree with you lenin...all getting a bit boring...i couldn't give a monkeys tbh...never get involved in those threads.

think i might start a thread in aibu...

on this

That's cooler I think.

Hiya ladies

Thanks for slowing down the wagon and picking me up This is it. No biscuits, crisps or booze in the house and it's staying that way.

Good morning i hope everyone is good (struggling to know who is who)

I am still 10st (cannot believe i am not way more tbh) and starting to feel a lot more confident about myself (doubt that will last if i go out with all the skinnies but hey ho)

I need to drink more water, i am drinking too much tea (very strong, splash of milk and one sugar) because the weather has turned and it is not really helping the anemia very much. So please if you see me on here, tell me to go and get a glass of water

Cut it to half a sugar Alice and wean yourself off. I now only have sugar in my first tea of the day and I htink it makes a difference.

Obviously a nice spinach juice would be better for anaemia

(that's green from too much spinach, nt envious of your anaemia or of spinach juce! )

Anaemia is pants isn't it Alice. I have just had my blood test results and I am not back on par yet after 8 mnths.

It is so tempting to eat crap th give me the energy to get through the day and a glass of water just isn't a cup of tea IYSWIM.

Like my new fancy Halloween name? It's so original and well thought out huh

Slimey, hope you get on ok at the docs.

It doesn't help that i can't stomach iron pills, so i have spatone (but i'm really bad at remembering to take it) and try to have an iron rich diet (again, not very easy) I do like my meat a lot rarer these days though

For lunch i have had; a bowl of carrot and corriander soup, 1 slice of homade bread and butter, glass of water and DD and i are sharing a bowl of grapes as i type. Not too bad

Good morning all.

the weather is crap but I am being very proactive the week. Started clearing the kitchen, we are looking at wortops tomorrow and the someone is going to come and look at our garden to put a swimming pond in this week aswell. Shed loads of ironing to do.

shiney - hope you get better soon.

Alice - would love to be 10st but aiming for a more realistic 11stone.

Did get an incentive this morning as went to buy some fat face gift vouchers for my sister for her birthday and they had so many nice clothes in. Fed up of going to the fat shops.

Vinny - I am so impressed by the jogging.

Sorry for disappearing (did you even notice ) poor DS is not a well bunny & has been screaming the house down for the past few hours, ended up having to rock him to sleep wrapped in a blanket

Guess I better update as I haven't in a while...

Have so far last 1 stone 9lbs, I have another 1 stone 12lbs to go to reach my goal weight. Once at my goal weight I should hopefully fit in a size 12/14 comfortably I may or may not decide to drop another half stone once I reach 12 stone but we'll see. Setting myself smaller goals along the way so my next one is to get to 13 stone 7lbs

Oh and on week 5 of the running programme, having to repeat week 5 but it's my first repeat at least!

Slimey - did you hear from the docs?

Five just think how many calories you've burned cleaning the kitchen!

Lunch is leftover chicken with tomato and pineapple from lsat night.

Norma - please don't overreact if 'no-one notices you've disappeared' - we all have RL so if anyone is not here I assme they have something that needs doing (might start asking after a week, or a few days in the case of our leader).
