March 2007 - breakaway thread for lardy ladies

[DollyPopsOut]

Thought I would start a separate thread for those of us on the March thread who are trying to lose weight etc so we can support each other without troubling the others with our food talk etc.

I'll start - have lost 8 1/2 lbs through Weightwatchers since DD2 born, with about another 2 stone to go.

Have done OK today, although I had 2 biscuits at a friend's house this morning. Not enough exercise either.

By the way, anyone from other months / years etc most welcome to join in

Let's see if we can help each other back to our former selves (or thinner in my case - my former self has ranged from a 12 to a large 16 over the years and I am aiming for the lower end again )

If I smoked I would be chain smoking today. Instead I've eaten one ton of chocolate
I must be stressed.

Sorry you're stressed Rosy.

Well, I haven't had time to eat today with DS being poorly and clingy. Does that make up for the McDonalds?

rosy-i will chain smoke for you!

i have eaten a load of crap today-

yoghurt
weetabix(with sugar+full fat milk)
large toffee cake thingy with whipped cream
a slice of bread with peanut butter
half a pancake with honey
microwave spinach+ricotta canelloni(which contained about 3000g of salt so i will have even worse water retention tomorrow)

its half term,i will diet next week

Oh I lurve peanut butter

Ate healthily yesterday but spoiled it with a late night apple custart tartm, with caramel topping and lashings of hot custard - was worth every guilt pang I can tell ya!

had bread in Camber Sands so my tum is now huge and farty!!

Shrinky - enjoy that chocolate while you still can Mrs!!

I all out of green and blacks so had to resport to a Penguin tonight!

Getting addicted to my yogalates even though I only get peace to do a few of them so far but it feels great! I can't wait to get really into it!
I am feeling stronger and slimmer but not losing weight...the chocolate is going to have to go!! (Monday is the day)
I'm taking omega 3 and really feel as if it's helping me.
My days are hectic and hard work though. phew. And the day starts too early.

Fox - I'm off to eat my albran and chocolate flakes while I can

Much better start to the day today. Toasted fruit English Muffin and a bowl of strawberries + a skinny latte with one sugar for breakfast.

Jonny's napping in his pram now, but I'll get him to have his next one in the sling and do housework. Very toning.

Then I'll make sure I walk a long way with the dog this afternoon.

Think thin ladies.

i was inspired today.i had a look at the dress selection in debenhams(i dont want a proper wedding dress but i do want a nice evening gown or something),and they were all strapless ones.it doesnt matter how much weight i loose,my norks will still be down to my fanjo,and there is no strapless anything on the planet that will hold them up.

so it looks like im going to have to go further afield to kendal or preston to get a dress,so i will need plenty of time ie at least 2 months before the wedding.which gives me 3 months to loose the weight.

well,i did it last time!!

Diva - that's so exciting - you have a fab goal and a lovely wedding ahead of you

Shrinky - I'm eationg as much chocolate as I can now before Monday - to keep my strength up

Fox me too, I ran out today and was forced to eat the childrens supply

Sigh, I'm disheartened and feeling very lardy today...

I did do a bit more yogalates yesterday and lots of walking and this morning I felt it. Must persevere..even though am a wreck....crawls on all fours towards the life giving chocolate.....

Hey you know I'm getting a bit sick of chocolate, stuffing my face with it before I give it up. I'm looking forward to giving it up actually.
There's plenty of other things I can get obsessed about I'm sure

i dont have a choc problem now,i have an issue with cakes.i have decided i will give them up on monday (thats my excuse for eating 2 today).

i feel very large and bloated today,and am still awaiting af,as i know i will ahve to go on a serious diet if the pounds dont start falling off when it arrives

dp pointed out that my boobs have shrunk a bit(i thought they had but wasnt sure).its not weight loss,it must be hormonal.just wish my tummy would shrink as well!

hi ladies
i am v pleased as my belt did up 2 notches 2day! i must get m tummy toned, any exercises that work will be v grateful

div, i'm not wearing a wedding dress either- but ebay is a great place for evening gowns or long party dresses

v bad upset tummy last night, so not keen to eat today

diva not div !!!!

Shrinky what can we replace chocolate with next week???

Three more chocolate eating days to go...

I'd be grateful for some tummy toning excercises too - plus smaller boobs...

How about alcohol Foxy...

Shrinky - great minds think alike!

sponge-you were right the first time

ive munched on various bits of rubbish today,but was very hungry at 8.30 so decided to order pizza.it turned up cold at 9.40,so we sent it away,and ordered from somewhere else.then the manager of the first pizza place turned up with a re-done original order free of charge as we are valued customers.am now waiting on the order from the second place.

diet starts monday!!!

Diva - respect for sending that first pizza back and ending up with two pizza's. Next time just give them my address

I went running up a hill the other day, cleared out the cobwebs!!! And nearly killed me
I'm doing ok, but my alcohol intake is increasing

Mine too. I started with one spritzer a night and am now on 2.5 glasses of wine...how many you having Kitty? (more than me I hope - make me feel better please)

...maybe its just a school holiday thing? (the need for more alcohol)

the 'free' pizzas were the ones we sent back but re-heated(dp used to work in the catering industry and can spot these things easily)so we ended up throwing them out anyway

kitty-i find a marked increase in alcohol intake is a common side-effect of school holidays,dont worry about it

fox-spooky telepathy stuff going on there i think

re-heated? that's a bit of a cheek!
