Hope they find out what's up soon loti feel free to whinge etc, but sounds like you are realising that YOU are the most important person in YOUR LIFE and don't let anyone or anything distract you from that Smile

crispy I too am being scuppered by weekends, it's the demon drink that then makes me crave delicious and fattening food Blush Am going to try and do some proper exercise on Saturday and Sunday (not just sex Wink) which will amybe remind me to step away from the crisps...

Not too much chopping done today, arms are aching! But 2x school run and 14.5 miles on my bike so not too shabby.

Have fun in Jersey crispy Envy just keep away from the cream Grin

Good luck with the tests loti.

Back to fri's weight but may be scuppered by trip. Hots, we need to see each other through the weekends. We CAN do this!!

luckoftheirish · 26/01/2011 16:21

Will be joining in the hand holding at weekends too crisp...

I'm thinking a one night at weekend blow out maybe where no guilt involved and then careful?? Thoughts?

Dd2 driving me crazy today and with massive pmt to boot Hmm biked and did some pilates but dd2 wasn't playing ball so it was all rather half hearted Hmm I need to be kept away from a glass of wine tonight but fear I do not have the will power Blush

FjorgynAndHotWater · 26/01/2011 21:19

12 miles biking need to drink LOADS of water tomorrow, not looking good for Friday and am not going to reach anywhere near my target if I don't get serious about this again...

luckoftheirish · 26/01/2011 21:32

Well done hots!

Positive thinking for us all... I have now sneaked into the overweight category for my height ekk so am serious about getting my weight down.

And before u ask have checked loads of websites and they all say the same thing Sad

luckoftheirish · 27/01/2011 15:03

Biking and pilates done phew! So that's 5 exersazzels this week! Fingers crossed it will show on the scales tom... Have not peeked since Monday ekk

good luck tom ladies Smile

FjorgynAndHotWater · 27/01/2011 20:47

loti are you sure you haven't mixed up lb and kg when working out your BMI??? Or accidentally knocked 2ft off your height? Well done on 5x ExerSazz anyway, that's dedication Smile

I only managed 8 miles tonight, am knackered and can't be arsed to do the full 12, but was walking for an hour at lunchtime so not too bad altogether, oh, and said no thanks to some chocolate hedgehog cake at work Shock

Off to down half a gallon of water before bed to try and squeeze a bit more weight off for the morning...

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 27/01/2011 21:34

Unfortunately not hots Sad

well done on the biking! I must confess that although weigh in is tomorrow I have had some wine and pringles Blush when will I learn???

CrispyTheCrisp · 27/01/2011 21:46

Well done ladies. Not TOO bad for me - no exercise but had steamed fish, new pots and spinach at the restaurant & no dessert. Did have a bottle few glasses of wine though Blush

Not sure whether to weigh or not tomorrow - think it might make me cry. But might be a good thing to keep me reigned in until Sat and as LOTI says, just have one bad day rather than three two

Only 3 exersazz this week. I must try and get one in tomorrow to get the week off to a good start. Work is going to be ramping up though so i need to be v organised to fit it all in.....

FjorgynAndHotWater · 28/01/2011 08:22

I think you should weigh crispy then you know the worst and can take apropriate action. It probably won't be as bad as you think though

My scales were flickering between 0 and -0.5lb so am being kind to myself and taking the -0.5 and hoping it encourages me to rein in re crisps etc this weekend...

loti hope you have an encouraging weigh-in too.

OP posts:
CrispyTheCrisp · 28/01/2011 08:27

+1
now +13 on my lowest. Shit.

It just seems so futile ATM Sad. Also I have pains in my chest (either from my too tight bra yesterday or an impending heart attack. Am assuming the former for now.

Will have to go back to the Lord I think and start again

luckoftheirish · 28/01/2011 08:48

+1 for me too Sad gutted as apart from last night I have been so good and have exercised and eaten well..

This is way out of control for me and getting so frustrated and angry at my self...

Have more anti biotics for damn wisdom tooth so no alcohol at all for me this weekend .. Gonna try and do some exercise today and hopefully once over weekend too...

I agree crisp I think I need to look at lord ford again.

Well done hotster

FjorgynAndHotWater · 28/01/2011 08:55

That maybe due to lots of wine too close to weigh-day though crispy It always takes a few days for me to wee out the weekend excess, I was +4 on Monday Shock.

OP posts:
FjorgynAndHotWater · 28/01/2011 08:59

Oops loti took me ages to post that and missed your results for today. Don't beat yourself up, you too are prob suffering from the effects of last night's wine. Drinking the night before a weigh in is crazy hardcore Grin

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 28/01/2011 12:03

Twas a bit silly hots Blush knew I would be starting the anti biotics today and although I can drink on them it's a way not too!!

Hoping to go biking in a bit if dd2 agrees although I her current mood may not Hmm

luckoftheirish · 28/01/2011 17:55

Did 20mins of biking was all whingy pants would allow! Really going to miss my glass of wine tonight... Got my dad here and a bit of a grumpy dh so it would have been a welcome respite!

Aw well Tea anyone Hmm

alittlebitshy · 28/01/2011 18:34

I see from the other thread that it was not an impending heart attack crispy but i am sure you need lots of treats to gte over the pain Grin.
sorry on the gains but positive thinking.

My weigh in is tomorrow so we'll see...

loti Are you SURE????? all the pics i have seen of you have you as such a lovely shape - i cannot believe you have slipped into the overweight band. I, on the other hand, crept back into obese Blush. On the way down though. I hope.

CrispyTheCrisp · 29/01/2011 10:09

Well done on being on the way down ALBS Envy. Good luck for the weigh in today.

I managed to actually have a pretty good day yesterday, with only 2 small glasses of wine in the evening.

Thank goodness that the 'heart attack' seems to be subsiding - bit bloomin scary though! I am hoping it recovers enough so i can exercise next week though.

How is the tooth LOTI? Does the pain stop you eating? Grin

Right, today is another GOOD day. It has to be.

luckoftheirish · 29/01/2011 10:48

I wish crispy Grin.. tooth was killing me last night and an ice cold glass of wine would have really sorted me out but i resisted Grin

good luck today ALBS

luckoftheirish · 29/01/2011 18:49

Just did my fat burner section on my dvd.. was really hard work but so pleased i did it Grin

luckoftheirish · 30/01/2011 09:06

me and dd1 just did the cardio burn on my dvd Grin.. cannot believe how out of breathe i was Hmm.. for allmy biking i thought i would be fitter!

Hots where are u??

How this weekend is being good for you crisp..

Albs did weigh in go ok??

alittlebitshy · 30/01/2011 10:12

I lost 1lb so am still on the way down - that is 5lb in 3 weeks so not bad at all.
dh gained so he was less impressed Grin.

luckoftheirish · 31/01/2011 15:02

Did the fat burn on DVD again as trying to mix things up a bit! Was really aching this morning but it has actually loosened me up a bit! Definitely a burn tho Grin

not looked at the scales since fri and have no plan to til this fri... AF gone AWOL but hoping she makes an appearance soon as bloating and pmt driving me bonkers Grin

hope you make your pilates tonight crisp

where are u hots? Hope u are ok!

Well done on the loss Albs Smile

CrispyTheCrisp · 31/01/2011 15:45

Well done on the loss ALBS, sounds like you are doing really well Smile

LOTI you are amazing! Well done to you and your dedication. I have mainly eaten and drunk this weekend .

Swam 32 lengths this avo which is the first time for absolutely ages as I have had no goggles. Felt good. Pilates this evening which I am looking forward to Smile

luckoftheirish · 31/01/2011 16:12

Hurrah for swimming and hurrah for pilates later!!

Not sure if I am that dedicated as I have not drunk but eaten for Britain this weekend Blush
