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.

that fmv was funny, eh?

elliemental · 28/04/2010 11:19

have just signed up for Guardian free healthy eating plan thingy. With recipes etc.
my target is 8lbs 11 oz, according to them. Which is odd, because when I filled in the form, I put 9.5 down as target weight

sorry for being awol. I've had few ishoos going on surrounding ds1 but I feel like I've got over the hump and hope to be back on form in the next few days.

food consumption hasn't been too bad quantity wise, but not much f&v.

If you ever need another shrew let me know. The cats kill them all of the time but don't eat them as apparantly they taste funny.

If you have many slugs in your garden they are great fo stripping a carcass. It's horrid I know, but true.

my skeleton loving friend has emailed back with detailed instructions about how to rot a shrew
she said she is in the middle of decomposing something herself but it isn't working out as she can't get the skin to go properly

feel like I've eaten a lot of good stuff today but prob only 7 portions.

I am striding out in my tone-up flip floppy things which arrived today. I wore them for 3 hours and my legs feel tired! Which must mean they work, surely?

Feeling bit better today

pointydog · 28/04/2010 20:08

I don't trust dem fitflops one bit

elliemental · 28/04/2010 20:13

do you mean, i will be moidered in my bed?

or do you mean you don't think they will work?

They were £35. they are a perfectly nice pair of sturdy, quite comfy flip flops which look ok enough for work. if they happen to give me legs like a gazelle, bonus!

CoupleofKooks · 28/04/2010 20:51

pointy you have lost loads
you need to start exercising now, it will boost your metabolism and give you a nice shape and give you endorphins and stuff
i know you will resist but think how we talked you into eating fruit, about 2 years ago or something

i am sorry i didn't do an updated scoreboard after tues
i sort of lost track
if anyone would like to do one then please go ahead
i know guad and pointy lost a whole shitload of weight, good on you bitches

pointydog · 28/04/2010 21:53

I don't do exercise, coK! Just this minute finished typing that on my other diet thread.

And are you confiusing me with someone who didn't like fruit? I will eat pretty much anything (which tends to be my trouble )

pointydog · 28/04/2010 21:54

CoupleofKooks · 28/04/2010 22:44
