2010 Weight Loss Club : The Wannabe Winter Waifs

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Piste is busily plumping up the cushions and making a space for Blondes to dump the naughty step.

Here we go! Let's see 2010 out in style my fellow Slinkies!

Sorry that doesn't make sense, my sentence in the middle of the list is supposed to be at the bottom.

Looking again at the list, everybody has posted fairly recently(ish) so we can leave the list as it is?

Lost a pound this week :)

...so I should have, as I've eaten an average of 1400 calories a day before exercise, done the Shred every week day, cycled ds to school, done an hour's gardening a day and my Pilates class (75 minutes) on Monday .

I blame beginning to go throguh the menopause - my metabolism has really slowed down.

If I could break the 12 sotne barrier by Christmas, I'd be really happy - but it might be asking too much. However, I do seem to have got myself into the zone - am no longer craving (Lidl) Jaffa cakes, which were my "treat" of choice (only 47 calories each) or my "healthy" chocoloate (Lidly 74% cocoa plain chocoloate) for when I really needed a chocolate fix. I'm happy to "snack" on clementines, grapes and the odd banana (after my Shred).

Trimmer: no-one has really noticed a difference (except my dad a month or so ago) as no-one has really seen much of me since I stopped work - so they haven't seen the weight I'd pout on. Dh says that my tummy is maybe a wee bit less round. The pair of "good" trousers that I reluctantly bought in the Sales at Christmas as I didn't have any others that I could fit into for a work trip are definitely looser though.

One thing I have noticed is that since I've put on the weight, my trousers now wear out between the legs in a way they never did before . Still, it means that I have an excuse to go and get another pair of "good" trousers a size smaller, as they're nearly worn through

Trimmer: be grateful for your ds for giving you the exercise! :)

Piste: have you given up on the wellies yet? Ds has decided off his own bat to do a sponsored silence for the day (at least until 7pm when the rugby club family night starts) - yaaaay! The school has agreed, so he has gone in with a notepad to write down his responses in class - and produced a wee note on my computer for his teacher to sign verifying that he had been silent all day.

Bebe: sorry about the hip. Hope you get some releif soon. At least you can pat yourself on the back that having lost all that weight, you are not putting unnecessary pressure on it.

Hecate: congratulation on your loss - slow and steady is the way to go!

Ds is aware I am on a diet - but only sees me eating healthily as my big issue was stopping the snacks/chocolate munchies. I eat the same as dh and him at mealt times - just tend not to have as much. He's also usually the only one of us to have dessert. He does however, already call my stash of plain chocolate "healthy chocolate" and occasionally asks if he can have a square.

Updating Ttimmer's list with my stats :)

well done pretty/trimmer and piste on loss's

well done bebe for staying the same

i also sts, bit miffed tbh, i have been good (apart from bubbly and meal out in london last week)

:) how did you find that out?

twins were good,fed 1.30/2 and 5.30/6am tho windy and need a lot time to burp all wind up

got home 8ish and had a cat nap and now raring to go :)

Pretty - am loving the sponsored silence, a friend's DD just did 3 days! She is 14 and did it very well, and her mum enjoyed the peace and quiet!! ! only wore the wellies when in public today, and actually all was well

Blondes - I would like to say I invented the but that would be a lie, I saw it on another thread, but don't know how they found it iyswim?!

DH and I have to be terribly grown up this evening because DD has won an academic prize at school and it is Prize Giving tonight ( she won it last year as well, so double preen) so we are taking her out for dinner tonight on the way, so that will be lovely. It's always so nice to do something special with just one of them, as long as we do it fairly with both over time. It's not going to be good on the nosh front though, certainly not a zero point meal! And there's a drinks do after. I am doomed, but quite happily so at the mo!

piste - well done on your dd - :) def deserves a nice slap out meal

im cooking low fat spag bol with homemade o point sauce,ie a tin of toms and herbs and veg so the meal would be 7p 4 for mince and 3 for pasta on my ww, what is spag bol now on new ww?

Hi all

Having a good day, but far too much cake yesterday, it was a disaaaster

But today I have done alright so far.

If it wasn't for you fellow slinkies on this thread I would be well on the way now to gaining all the weight lost, I would have just forgotten about it then got a shock when weighing in again at some point....

I am adjusting the list because I have lost much more than 4.5lb since the start of the thread, just ww scales are different to mine

Have a good weekend all.

Hi everyone, hope you are having a good weekend.

Lost 2lbs this week, am very happy with that.

Prettybird just thought I would mention that every time I read your posts on this thread, it amazes me how alike I think we are, same age, more or less same weight, I am going through early stages of menopause I think, (periods are getting fewer and further between), I really like exercising (although you seem to know more about the body than I do, but I find your info on this matter really interesting), my trousers also seem the wear out between my legs, ooh and I love Lidl's jaffa cakes.

By the way, when I made bns soup last week, I didn't bother scraping the skin off, just scrubbed the bns, then used the whole of it (minus the seeds of course), can't say that it tasted any different.

Also does anyone know the best way to eat pomegranate, do you just scrape the seeds out and eat or squeeze them out?

well done smalline on loss

glad you enjoyed bns soup

Smalline - Cut the pomegranite & then turn it upside down over a plate/bowl & tap really hard with a spoon or your hand to get the seeds out & eat them! Yummy in fruit salad! :)

Thanks Blondes, and thank you Bebejones I will try that next time I buy one.

Had a lovely roasty this weekend after my yearnings last Sunday!

I had 1 roast spud and a veggie pasty. Fighting the sunday night munchies.... I really fancy some pretzels

grapes and a coffee for me

Lawks....I know what you mean about Sunday night munchies!! Stand firm GT!!

I have given in to the munchies! :( 2 slices of Stollen & 4 pieces of chocolate orange! Damn you Christmas food!!! Good job there are no crisps in the house or it could have been a very 'bad' night! We did have ta pizza, but I had one slice & a salad so I think that was very restrained.

Have been painting DDs xmas present most of the day (wooden dolls' house) am so tired now and not even finished! :( Painting it is the easy bit, it's putting it together that is going to be a nightmare. I'm hoping that by starting now I won't be having a last minute panic on Christmas eve!

After smalline said bout the pomegranite I have had serious longings for pomegranite juice. Unfortunately Tesco had none! Rubbish!!

Also have no idea why I have been typing pomegranite (with an I) pomegranate obviously! My brain is just not functioning!

I didn't give in to the munchies last night but it was difficult, I did stand firm, Piste.

smalline - well done on your loss.

Bebe - you are very organised. I have 7 coming to Christmas lunch, also no xmas shopping done yet - I'd like to get the dc to make presents also. So far I've done nothing.

How is your hip? My dh is on Diclofenac Sodium for his trapped nerve/whatever he's got. They are helping him, but he's just hobbled off to get a train to London for work.

I am trying really hard this week and would love to lose more than 1/2lb.

Although not sure if I will stick to the ww propoints diet

bad weekend of food and booze - but was fun :)

will spend next 4days trying to be good and hopefully will sts

whoops posted too early

friday i was good with spag bol, but sat was out for school reunion and drank faaaaaaaaaaaaaar too much wine and had hangover from he;; yesterday - which got helped by a sb and fried eggs and then went to see HP7 and ate sweets and then frankkie and bennys afterwards

btw i didnt think HP& was that good - missed HUGE chunks off the book :(

Bit disappointing then Blondes, x2 films so that wasn't supposed to happen so much.

Did they get to the point where they were captured and taken to Malfoy manor?

yes, finished just after dobby dies

I didnt like poor ol dobby having to go after he just saved the day!

I salute you GT on standing firm against the munchies!!

thank you piste
