NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[BudaisintheZONE]

And a very good morning to you all!

New thread!!!!!!! As promised.

Weighed in and have lost the holiday kilo. So back to 15 st 3. Am still amazed that I only gained a kilo. There was NO restraint!

Goal now to get to 15 st.

You are right. Going back to uk in oct and really want to be a size smaller. Or even two!

Ok - so its time to get your head back in the game Buda. Its NTAGABSF bootcamp for you - back to the corn thins/fruit only for snacks between meals, lots of water, up the exercise and try and zone it and you will see that loss for october.

Feeling more head in right place today thankfully. Having breakfast just now - smoothie made with yoghurt, milk and blackberries. Also added a spoonful of bran. Nibbling on a bowl of strawberries too.

Will take dog for walk later.

Ok i ate 3 choc chunk cookies yest.... not good, could not understand where my will power has gone as not normaly this lax, but (tmi) i got my AF today which i dont usually as on mini pill....Grrrrrrr going to try really hard.

Only had coffee so far, prob have 3 oat cakes with cottage cheese for breaky.

I need to drop a dress size as i refuse to buy my winter wardrobe untill i have.

Please halp me with motivation and pmt munchie cravings!!!!!!!

Mama - when the munchies hit, paint your nails or go out for a walk - anything to get away from the biscuit tin. Or drink a glass of water everytime you think of eating something - often its water cravings getting mixed up with food cravings. Am assuming the choc chunk cookies were sort of small sized ones? If so, not the end of the world, just draw a line under it and move on. If the massive ones, then you need to examine why you ate them - are you restricting your diet too much so when you do have a treat you let go totally? If so, I'd advise working in a small (and by small I mean one biscuit only) treat to have at the end of the day if you've managed to zone it well all day - can be a pat on your back for doing so well.

Come on - you know you want to lose weight and you know how to do it.

Wotcha ladies.

Am back. I fear it has been faaaar too long

Dh deployed for 8 months 10 days ago. I have NO excuse.

I stood on the wii fit and was surprised to see i am only 10st 8lb. I feel much more biffa than that.

I am not in the zone.

What the frick is shredding?

Hello LG&T!! It's like January! All the old faces reappearing after the summer. Sorry DH gone for so long. Must be bloody hard.

Shredding is doing Jillian Michaels (her off the Biggest Loser) exercise DVD, The Shred. I have it but have not plucked up courage to watch it yet!!!

Hello lg & t, I remember you from previous attempts!

Been good today. NO SUGAR no biscuits and no bread. Been very good, drinking loads of water, soo thirsty. feel a bit headachey though.

ok today went as follows
breakfast- 3 oatcakes and cottage cheese
Lunch- 2 slices of small seeded batch toast
Dinner- ham and egg salad

snack- strawberrys, apple

2 coffee and 2 pints of water.

ok so far, no exercise today tho but will tomorrow. Promise i will shred as not done since sat Actually OH is off to play footlball soon so might do i then if my dinner settles in time.

Hi everyone, I find September a good month for starting afresh - new school term and everything.

Anyway, today I have eaten:
Breakfast - 2 slices of salami. Was planning on taking some fruit with me for the journey to work but in the usual chaos to get out of the house I forgot.
Lunch - salmon and green bean salad. Was served with noodles but didn't eat those.
Dinner - 3 sausages (skinny ones), roast parsnip chips, courgettes and onions.

Also had a walk through Hyde Park this morning for about 40 minutes - lovely sunshine.

Hello all. feeling stupid as I only just started to try getting back on top of things today, but have failed miserably.

Greedy pig syndrome due to feeling tired and unwell. Excuses already you notice

New day tomorrow with most of the dc back to school

Wow you lot - I want to sound like you. I'm feeling inspired.

Yes Cyb the attempts would be about right.

Although i notice YOU still here too...

Today i have eaten 2 shredded wheat (like eating spiders legs imo)

2 homemade chicken pasties (i know, i know the pastry!)

A packet of square crisps

I have opened a bottle of wine.

Today is not going well is it.

I am off to look at shredding DVD.

Oh and i have just got a dog so i have to walk it.

But... it is a Chihuahua and he is scared of the lead

Again, not going well.

I have ordered some Boden cords in a 12 for motivational purposes. This is a good move, yes?

I think having a target is a great idea but I dont know how fast you will reach it eating Chicken Pasties (homemade). Good job cods not on here...she's have your guts for garters

I know < looks around nervously >

It was mil that made them. She didn't feed them to me though

I want to lose 5lb in 2 weeks. I WILL.

Shredding looks like hell on earth.

evening podgers/biffers/zoners

I have been pretty good this week, since getting back from france on Sun, am now back to the weight I was before the baguettes got me which is great, esp considering period time too which usually = weight gain. Aiming for 10lbs in a month...

Ooooh Ducky! How are you my lovely? You must be a whippet by now surely?!

ha ha ha lgat :o I keep losing and gaining the same 4lbs! I was gyming alot though, before hols, so looked slimmer, must get back to gym next week...

I bought a dog to help with the non gyming < see below >

I must buggy march or something. We have a cross trainer in the spare room fgs. I am WEAK.

Someone come on here and shout at me.

'Lo all, am back home for a few days from myu mums, where I appear to have put on a few lbs, grrr. Off to FIL's this weekend for funeral on monday so all happy joy and stuffing face with crap. Especially as I have agreed to say something at MIL's funeral!

Can't understand what is going on, haven't done exercise for awhile and my under boob roll has massively increased, it's almost back to what it was, legs and bum ars still down but the belly roll is what makes me look fat. It's above my belly button so would sit ups etc help, how can I tone this back up?

lgat, do you have a pc in that room, or a telly/portable dvd player/laptop? I could go on xtrainer for an hour if I had a dvd with subtitles or iplayer running to distract me...its dead fuckiong boring otherwise.

Big welcome back hugs to LG&T, Yogini, Cyb and Ducky

LG&T - sorry DH has been deployed for so long but if I recollect correctly you have a ginormous family to run around after. Am not surprised you fall into the nearest chicken pasties and bottle of wine when calm falls in the evening. Lol at the Chihuahua refusing to go for walkies. I guess you could use if for weight lifting purpose Or do as the francais and put it in a tote and carry it around OI BIFFER, STEP AWAY FROM THE PASTIES UNLESS YOU WANT TO LOOK LIKE ONE. GET ON THAT CROSS TRAINER FOR 20 MINUTES A DAY UNTIL YOU'VE BURNED OFF THOSE PASTIES. Was that what you were looking for?

Still stuck in fricking flat hunting hell. Sigh. The stress is good for the waistline though as seem to have lost another pound this week. Have gymed at lunch and personal trained today so DH is now treating me to a lovely french martini (it has pineapple juice in it so is almost healthy ) - we're trying to drink up the drinks cabinet so dont have to pay to move those bottles - and salad and low fat sausages in a tomato based casserole. Yum.

Ilythia - big hug to you too to welcome you back. The only way you will shift the belly roll is to up the cardio again - more runs (do interval training if you can stomach it) - and combine with some abs and back exercises (plank, crunches, side crunch and bicycle are 4 excellent exercises to do - 3 x 20 of each) - you will see results.

That's it Dinky! 20 mins a day is nothing is it?

I do have millions to run around after. I should be skinny. Am trying not to think about the deployment. Xmas on our own

Gah.

Must 'man up'. Have only had half a bottle of wine < clutches at straws >

Where is MammaG? Is she a whippet now too and no longer needs us?

What about Aitch and cheese?

i'm setting you a challenge LG&T - if you do 20 minutes on the cross trainer a day, you can have a glass of wine at the end of the day to chill out. If not, no booze my friend. There talk about an incentive

Not seen MamaG on in ages - Aitch swung by to say she'd been attacked by the baguette monster when in France. Cheese still around and swings by from time to time. Not seen the fishy one in a long time or BobbieWickham. Cocolepew and Themasterandthemagharita occasionally make a guest appearance.
