2010 Weight Loss Club: Festively Fighting Flab into 2011

[prettybird]

Here is the new thread for us to achieve success in

Old thread is here

I'll change my name to my "Christmas" one after Saturday: I'm helping to organise the Scottish Mumsnet Christmas meet-up and it might confuse things if I change my name.

dont think so piste - dont think you can eat a dongle

I actually have a dongle for emergencies, sadly I don't have any prongles for emergencies.

how does a dongle work - i know how prongles work

Hope your dongle gets sorted Bebe, I have absolutely no idea about these things

It's worked well for me today planning what to eat in advance and I have stuck to 29pp, if I've counted correctly.

It's like a little USB stick that you just slot in & it connects off the mobile phone signal. Definitely not like a Prongle!

Have been a bad bebe the last couple of days! Damn DH for having a birthday! Aaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrggghhh, buffet food...and Birthday cake! Which took me 4.5hours to decorate on Friday but was worth it coz he loved it. (Pic on my profile)

Had celery soup for dinner so hopefully I managed to rein in a few calories there!

bebe, that cake is amazing!! you are so talented! (and your little girl is gorgeous!!)

Blondes, I know 1-2lb a week is healthy, just pushing for a bit more with the extra exercise, just for the first few weeks as I know it will tail off. Just did 25 mins on the stepper and 4.5 miles on the bike. am shattered, but worth it - celebrated with a pear and glass of water! The crisps were calling me, but I have resisted!

One shoves a Prongle into the hole in one's face
One shoves a Dongle into the hole in one's computer.
Innit.

piste thanks for that helpful hint

trimmer well done for sticking to 29 - what did you have?

Smokin 'claps at willpower' hope Tom goes well

bebe fab cake and have said before but your dd is very cute

6 mini kiefs = 8pp

Apparently 12 malteasers are 3pp or 24 for 6pp

Will try and buy some tomorrow

bebe that cake is amazing! Not surprised it took you 4 hours looking at the detail in it. Is Stargate to do with Startrek? You should go into a cake making business!

blondes I had yesterday:

Breakfast: low fat yog (2pp) with free fruit

1/2 pint semi skimmed milk (4pp) for tea/coffee

Lunch: 150g cooked rice (6pp), low fat mayo (1pp), quorn pieces (small amount, counted 2pp), free dry fried veg

tea: roast potatoes, done in oil (150g) (6pp), quorn sausages (4pp), free veg, gravy (1pp)

snack: jaffa cake and 2 digestives (4pp)

I think I've counted this correctly as before I felt like I was eating sensibly and going well over 29 so got fed up.

on 12 malteasers being 3pp!!

smokin well done on the exercise, bucketing down with rain here so I am doing Davina fit today.

I have to do a test online today for a job application, and house is a tip so have a good day all Also we have decided to move so will look for estate agents to ring up. We've promised the dc they will not have to change school, so not going far.

trimmer yes you have counted correctly - well done and good luck with moving

bebe made your celery soup this a,m, will fill myself up with it as also having quiche and salad

Morning, ok so weigh in iv lost 3lb so im happy but im sure it will catch up with me after the weekend I had. Does someone mind updating me on the list please. Thanks

thanks blondes, can I ask you aswell is your field of work just babies ?

no, im a nanny during the day but often do mn/night nannying/sleep training during the evenings/nights

did you want some advice?

Lovely cake Bebe - but don't know the film! I'm sure it is an amazing replica though

Ahhhhhhh

Having a nightmare :(

Car has flat tyre. I'm down a country lane and car doesn't have spare - just an inflation/foam kit but that's no use if tyre is fucked :(

5 kids and me in the dark - AA is on it's way .......

We are all Hungary and if there was food I would be eating no matter what it is

Blondes I hope the AA is with you now. Let us know you are all alright.

I make it 34 points today, but I have done 1/2 hour Davina Fit DVD, 4 exercise points.

I have a head of celery in the fridge that needs using up, maybe more free point soups would help.

Blondes/Bebe, I know the recipe for celery soup was posted a few pages back, but can't find it. Could you post it again for me please? Thanks!

Me Me Me
I copied it before. This is the one Bebe posted a long while ago.

Celery soup - Soften an onion (and garlic if you have some) in a little oil/fry light. Chop Celery into small pieces and slightly soften in pan with onion. Season well, plenty of pepper! Add veg stock & simmer until celery is soft. Blitz in blender (I always think it's quite nice to have some pieces of celery left whole). Add splash of skimmed milk to make it slightly 'creamier'. (Sometimes I leave the milk out & just serve it with a little low fat creme fraiche)

Car is being towed to garage :(

You in it?!
What a pain Mrs B

weigh in this morning was 4lb down - 8lb in a fortnight, very happy! Have let myself have a handful of quality street in celebration

Blondes, car stuff sucks is it just a straight tyre or more?

Well done Smokin!!!! You deserve a treat !!!

Car finally at garage. AA towed it there. Mb picked up 3 tired/Hungary/ kids as AA could only fit 2people in the front of recovery vehicle

I'm so Hungary but going to be good and eat a micro healthy meal as can't be Arsed to cook

This is a stargate! It is not anything to do with star trek! It was a film originally then a TV series & they have had 2 spin off series & a couple of straight to dvd films. DH is obsessed!

Blondes - Hope you are ok? What an ordeal!

Smokin - well done! :o

Looks just like stargate - fab film But never got into the series

Car is at garage - will prob need a new tyre and wheel.

Db not gonna be happy

Even more so as mb drive his tank today and she got the wingmirror hit and smashed

So new one of those as well

Db gonna flip :(
