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.

we can sit on the naughty step together avi

went for bootcut - long and lean . Tried straight legs but not good with v muscular calves. I am most sturdy

pink stuff? oh dear nobody loves my fake ham

pointy i am envious of muscular calves
i have the weediest calves imaginable
put jeans on and the usual trouble - they fall down as i have no hips or arse
am going to have to take back for smaller size which will give me a muffin top but will stay up

right have weighed
jumped on and off pretty sharpish - have not lost anything - jumped off quick enough to avoid seeing if i had gained
how about you lot?

Franny........ZERO - total 8 lb

you can cut and paste, i am not around today

come onnnnn, someone must have lost some weight

Franny........ZERO - total 8 lb
Lemur .. not weighing, but skirts are looser and the roll under my boobs seems to have gone - hurrah.

WRT the ribcage getting bigger, when you're pg your ribs flare out to accommodate the baby and I guess sometimes they don't go back to what they were.

I have always envied people with no hips and no arse, but that's because I was at the front of both queues when they were being handed out. But then you always want what you haven't got don't you?!

ds has escaped out of the front door a few times too, so it's now having to be locked all of the time which is a pita.

Franny........ZERO - total 8 lb
Lemur .. not weighing
Avi 11st3 - PLUS 1 pound
Guad lost 1 - total 11.5

and I was on line for three, I tell you three, until the weekend. Picnics on the beach MUST involve lots of pimms and cous cous and coleslaw and cakes and hotdogs.

Ratatouille tonight with felafel
fruit for lunch
cappucino and carrot cake for breakfast

oh well, well done guad
avi feeling good is the best start
lemur well done on looseness

if i manage to keep up with running this week i will be running about 8 or 9 miles
gotta lose some weight from that surely?

8-9 miles is fantastic Fra, well done you.

Banana milkshake (just semi milk and a banana)
bean soup, cucumber sticks, cherry toms, watermelon.
SOme bear granola nibble type thing
Chilli with mucho onion, toms, mushrooms and kidney beans. Also had salad leaves, cucumber, radishes and toms with the chilli.

Probably 10-12 portions
Walked for a couple of miles with ds (him in the buggy for most of it!)
2 hour yoga class which I'm going to later.

i haven't done it yet lemur!

i like those bear granola thingies

I know you haven't done it yet, but I'm impressed that you will be doing it

Yes, I had the coco cherry one. I saw them in Waitrose today and thought, why not? I got sucked in by the 100 cal thing!

Right, I'm now off to stretch and pose ...

I will weigh tomorrow morning. Tuesdays are good for me usually.

cor i wish tuesdays were a good day for me to weigh, i don't think my scales like me this week

lemur i agree it sounds impressive
i wish i shared your faith in me actually doing it
how was yoga?

Gah! Plus 1lb. But I had a lovely weekend with my sister

Fran I take it you mean 8-9 miles over the week? I thought you meant in one go at first glance!! Well done on still doing it though!! It's great isn't it!! I need to get out again. I think I've only been once since my 10k. (Hence the +1!)

Oh bother the dc are awake.

Catch up soon!

bad luck pink
not a high achieving week for any of us i don't think, however we will muddle on
yes if i go out 3 times this week it will be 2.75 + 3 + 3 miles
which sounds completely unlikely

ds1's butterflies have hatched - it is very exciting
i can highly recommend this kit
everything works just as they say it will, seems completely foolproof (unlike similar things like antworld or sea monkeys) and watching the caterpillars and butterflies is really fabulous

Franny........ZERO - total 8 lb
Lemur .. not weighing
Avi 11st3 - PLUS 1 pound
Guad lost 1 - total 11.5
pink - +1, total lots (can't remember how many pink)
pointy - weighing today

this better be good pointy

have had traumatic day ds1 now has one less tooth than he had this morning
not in our plans for the day to have to catch buses to emergency dentist in pissing rain
he was BRAVE
and now has big hole in his gum
there was an abscess thing forming under the last dodgy filling she did (she couldn't do it properly as it was too sensitive for ds to bear it)
thank GOD it is over, he was so scared and he went through with it anyway
i was calm all morning and then had 3 minute cry in private when was all over

_

there that's the end of it

ha haaah! I weigh 10st 10 and that is a loss of 2lb from last week. I is pleased.

Franny........ZERO - total 8 lb
Lemur .. not weighing
Avi 11st3 - PLUS 1 pound
Guad lost 1 - total 11.5
pink - +1, total lots (can't remember how many pink)
pointy - lost 2 - total 12lb

pooter probs, thrown off.

What a terrible dental time of it for your ds, fran. Sounds painful.

ooh pointy you dark horse you
i bet you are feeling good about that

avi that is so odd
and especially after we were just talking about them today
having said that, ds would like nothing better than to be bought another set exactly the same
do you think she meant to say "as much fun as you did with last year's kit"?
ours need releasing but i think we will do it in the morning
did you feel a bit mean keeping them in the net thing?

ds1 is doing fine in circumstances
a lot of people made a big fuss of him (he is massive show off like me so he enjoyed that a lot)
he says it hurts but won't take pain relief - he always hates having medicine
fingers crossed that will be the last one for a while, but the actual procedure was not too bad, just in case anyone has to have the same! once she had numbed it thoroughly, 3 secs and it was over really

LOL yeah yeah pointy you just came to post about your weight loss and then ran off without reading all the boring posts before you we have all done it
