That artichoke isn't funny anymore - 10/10 porkers thread

[CoupleofKooks]

For people who like to eat a lot of fruit and veg but also need to lose weight. We suggest 10 portions of fruit and veg a day, plus at least 10 mins of extra exercise. Weigh in day is Monday. No Atkins stuff or anything like that please , just healthy eating and exercising.

Am I allowed to breeze in here and say hello to you all? I don't think I can stop for long

"I am in a fizzy meltdown of pmt" - ellie me too! After all this time are we still in sync?!

Are you sure we haven't had this title before? It does look very familiar

i think we must have had it tatties, but when i searched i couldn't find it
hello! are you around in general? would be lovely to chat
not on here you old skinnimalinki

oh it is me franny btw

Yeah I'm around

How long have you been kooky? I have that song in my head now

ooh sorry i went to bed

look here a special thread for you

i didn't mention the smiths yet
that'll fox people

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!! Tatties!!! {{xxxxxxxxxxxx}}

how clever of you to recognise me.
I have missed you and was think about you last week when we went to the tropical place and dsses insisted on me taking a 10000th pic of them in the climbing tree
How are you?
I have lost your address

my pmt fizz came to a head yesterday when I bellowed at ds1 for losing his protractor and I did I that awful ''you ALWAYS lose EVERYTHING...'' spiel. I apologised later.
In my defence I am also hosting a huge joint pary at the weekend with Too Many People. And DH has been away this week. so I am a teeeny bit stressed anyway.

This morning I weighed 10st 12! 10st somethting!! Very excited. But I am playing it down because now it's the weekend and I have already had lasagne and will be having mucho wine later and maybe cheesecake.

pointy good dog
i've let it all go to shit this week
don't know why but u have not been running and i've been comfort eating hugely
i am hoping can pull self up by boot straps soonest

on the plus side i got to wear the sequin sundress today (to toddler group LOL)
well if i had waited for suitable occasion it was just going to sit there gathering dust
it was roundly admired

a sequin sundress? crikey jingo. You must have bedazzled the whole town in today's sunshine

it's only got a little wee strip of sequins
just barely any sequins at all

it is a beautiful dress inmo and ought to be worn lots.

I am wearing bad cut off shorts and a superman vest
and one of my eyes is all red and oozy. That's a good look for a party, eh

Sunshine and weekend vibe is getting the better of me.

Apple
corned beef, avocado and salad leaves sandwich (no butter, no dressing)
then the barbecue
a shish kebab in a tortilla wrap with yoghurt and tomato and olive salad
new potatoes in mustard and lemon dressing with more tomato salad
strawberries

wine wine wine

6 portions max

well i have been very restrained for a change

cereal fruit seeds etc = 4
beans on toast with cheese = 1
a fairy cake at an art thing we went to, was slmost compulsory (was nasty cake also)
pizza with roasted veg and cheese on, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, sweetcorn = 3
dried fruit and a SMALL amount of dark chocolate = 2

no running yet
maybe tomorrow
but it's hot
and i'm tired

oh you had to mention the ruddy boots LOL

you know full well you were foaming at the mouth about the missing cream
the sales girl was shaking slightly as she hid the sign saying "cream teas" under the counter

I'm back from my hols!!!!!!!!!!!!! Had a wonderful wonderful week and we want to move to Devon (except the houses are insanely expensive!)

I've got my 10k today and am very nervous. Will catch up properly later hopefully. Only we have an intermittent internet fault and I may not be able to log on again later

Oh and I put on about 3lb on hols

pink good luck!!! hope it isn't too hot for you and that the miles pass quickly

i have spent 90% of the weekend sorting out ds1's room and moving things from boxes and putting other things into other boxes
it was a complete tip but now is beautiful - will last about a week before rot sets in again

it is too hot to eat much
we all feel headachey and a bit blah

I am feeling very full.

grapes and orange juice
two bits of french bread
lean sliced pork, cucumber, tomato and olive salad
2 little squares of cheddar
2 chicken goujons, tortilla wrap, houmus, pickled baby beetroot, red pepper

8 or 9 portions. The breadiness has filled me up

Urgh. It was awful. Hot hot hot. I walked far more than I should've. An hour and 12 mins. Disappointing but never mind. I think I'll have raised about £100 when it's all in.

2 Weetabix for breakfast and a banana. Crackers and cheese for lunch cause we haven't been shopping so nothing fresh in! Then went to the coop and had salad (leaves from the garden!!) and beans and pasta. Not bad. Not looking forward to weigh in tomorrow. My hols might have scuppered my chances of hitting my birthday target.

Our dc bedrooms stay tidy Fran but the playroom/dining room goes through the major tidy then back to pigsty cycle often!

of vegger cream teas. DH occasionally asks when we're meeting up again!

Well done on the 10 something pointy Have a sticker. I think my next target will be to get to and remain at 9 something. Or maybe 9 and a half so that when the extra bit creeps back on I'm still 9 something!

Most impressed with your 10k run, pink. Have a fizzy drink to celebrate

pink your time seems marvellous to me
well done, in that heat as well! i think you're fab to manage it

just been out walking ds2 to sleep - except he didn't drop off after an hour, so dp kindly took over
it is a twitcher's wonderland out there
we often see nice birds but they were all really CLOSE for some reason - maybe just fewer people around so they were more settled
a woodpecker feeding on the ground about 12 foot away, and the heron standing stock still in the lake about 20 foot from me
also the tern that seems to have decided to live here for now

cereal fruit seeds = 4
big salad inc leaves from garden = 3.5
veg in a cheese sauce = 3.5
carrot cake
chocolate
celery and peanut butter = 1

12 portions, plus hour's stroll, i am back on track
am hoping to be able to declare a bit lost tomorrow, but i seem to take it off at the start of the week and put it on again by the end

avi have still not stuck photos on pc, sorry
hope you are feeling bright and well again tomorrow

wahey lost between 1 and 2 lbs AT LONG LAST (still hankering after guad's fancy scales)
unless it is just dehydration of course
i will declare 1.5 lb
total 7.5 lb
yay come on then chaps, i bet pink has lost about a stone overnight, running in that heat
