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.

tiger i don't know if it would help, but i found almost immediately that i stopped eating huge amounts of crap, i felt better and had more energy
i mean almost the day i started - maybe it was psychological but it really worked
what helps me also is to buy some really nice, healthy but delicious things - stuff you really want to eat - and have them all ready for you to eat that day

i had a superb shopping day today - or maybe a disastrous day - depending on whether you are thinking about the contents of my wardrobe or the contents of my wallet, ha ha

everything i tried on looked nice
this never happens
i bought and bought

probably tomorrow the magic will have worn off and i will turn back into a pumpkin

will get dh to download some tomorrow?

This morning I weighed 10st 13 so only 1lb lost but that makes 9lb in total.

weetabix and o juice
banana
baker tater with bit grated cheese, coleslaw and salad
kit kat
pork and courgette and hazelnut sweet and sour stir fry (light on noodles and heavy on courgette and lean pork)

probably only 5 portions

pointy that's good isn't it
i haven't done a league table yet sorry

cereal fruit seeds blah = 4
sort of missed lunch (stupid idea as have been starving all evening and snacking)
veg sushi box
pizza and salad
chocolate
mini magnum
more chocolate
cheese and biscuits
chocolate

sorry veggers that was crap

avi there only appears to be one actual meal there

yesterday - shredded wheat
blueberries
raspberries
lentil and carrot soup (2 slices wholemeal bread)
2 small slices birthday cake
baked pot with tuna, onion and sweetcorn, lettuce, tomatoes
apple

today:
chicken salad: lettuce, rocket, sweetcorn, onion, tomato, ccumber, artichcoke hearts, olives.
Blue berries
bANananananana
apple

birthday cake

chickpeas/cauli/spinach/mushrooms/tomatoes/sweet potato curry

cereal la de dah = 4
m+s salad shaker thing, couscous and fruit - was nice but bit sweet and no beans or anything in, so not terribly filling
punnet of blueberries and raspberries = 3

and look what i found for you pointy
the truth about olives

oops missed out my dinner (and cake )

small bit lemon cake
tofu, red pepper, courgette, mushroom kebabs, rice and wild rice = 3

i am going to eat more things quite soon
am hungry
but that's 10 already

and TWO MORE PEOPLE said i had lost a lot of weight
and i wore daft new tapered 80s type trousers and got a compliment and no-one laughed, well not openly

right rather delayed here is this week's spreadsheet

franny - lost 1.5 total 7.5 lb
ellie - lost 1 lb (total?)
pointy - lost 1 lb total 9lb
pink - gained 2 lb total 7 lb but completed 10k so gets extra brownie points
avi - still refuses to weigh but states she is "actually going to try now"
tigerfeet - wants motivation, come on tiger!
guad - excused
lemur - AWOL - hope ok?

who have i missed?

Am I currently number one on the weight-loss podium?Am I?

Thanks for olive news. I couldn't have 30 at one sitting.

weetabix an d apple, grape, rasp juice
banana
mince, half baked tater with cheese in, carrots
pickled baby beets
tiny bit of rice, multo chilli with mushrooms, tomatoes and kidney beans. Do kidney beans count?
fantasitcally juicy pear

7 but maybe more depending on the kidneys

yes they do count pointy
and looks like you are top dawg while guad is away, well done indeed

i had a cheese muffin, babybel, brazils, chocolate, and 4 satsumas
they were burstingly good, i may eat some more shortly

is guad better than me?

avi i can't put you on the spreadsheet at 11.4 if you are actually 11.7
this is ludicrous
it is just a number and you look very nice indeed and your bottom is great

right pc battery appears to have died i may not be back on today

hmm new battery
the old one was down to about 3 mins of power, this one has 6 hours
i could go and MN in the park again (our wifi theoretically goes that far)

well have run 2.6 miles
pink HOW oh HOW do you keep interested in this
i feel fab now but while i was doing it i just thought OHH this is LONG and DULL and i CAN'T do longer distances than this
i am going to try to keep going as i want to do the 5k now, am only 2 weeks from finishing i think
but after that what next? i can't run with anyone i don't think as am too uncompromising, would drive me mad having to keep up with them

oh carbon trust people did not pick us
sort of and at the same time !

Happy Birthday to me! Happy birthday to me! Happy birthday dear Pinky! Happy Birthday to me!!!!!!

Where's my party? We used to have cakes and bunting and dressing up!

Oh, by the way, I've lost 1.5lb since Monday so was only 1lb off my target of 10st. And then I ate cake all day and went out for dinner. But hey! Who's counting?

scrambles to get into party outfit

oh dear sorry pink
i think the birthday monitor must have been on holiday
HAPPY BIRTHDAY
have a glass of something lovely
and a cake in honour of your old name

avi hoorah you did weighing
but i am so at your suggestion that my button is wearing out
you can't guess what you weighed last week and backdate it, no
