2011 Weight Loss Club: Spring Slinkies successfully sizing down

[prettybird]

Brand new thread for the chatterboxes successful dieters supporting each other :)

Old thread is here

Wonder if this one will last until my 50th birthday? (beginning of April)

You are well fit Pretty!!

I used to run Marathons

I'm still only 10 minute miling - although I was pleased to get my 2 mile circuitd down from 22 minutes 9 seconds two weeks ago to 19 minutes 39 seconds on my 3rd outing/attempt on Sunday! :) And my achilles tendon isn't complaining yet - so maybe the sorbothane insole is having a positive effect. I am however feeling my hip :(

I am slower I think. I am now up to running for 25 mins and I think I need to get DH to work it out as my GPS is a bit odd. It makes the outer side of my knees ache as I run but they soon recover.

I went dry skiing after my last run and that was demanding on my knees. So completely different to proper snow skiing. I know which I prefer. We are trying an indoor snow piste thingy in HT which will be interesting!

Done well cos had lunch and it's not even 3pm!

Shameless hijack! I don't often get replies when post in aibu so what do you slinkies think of this www.mumsnet.com/Talk/am_i_being_unreasonable/1151197-to-think-interns-should-at-least-receive-travelling-expenses

Well done Pretty and Piste on your running, I will go again soon...

havnt been to aibu for a few days

have replied

im a bit and :(

worked out pp for vd meal last night - i had for pudding toffee fudge glory which was basically vanilla ice cream with toffee sauce and small fudge peices (and gawd they were small)and eog says it was 19pp

'blonde faints'

i thought it was semi healthy :(

i should have checked out puddings before i went :(

i could of had

banoffee pie 11
chocolate fudge cake 10
cheesecake 11
lemon tart 13

how the hell can i eat chocolate cake instead of ice cream and be less pp?

It could be something to do with higher sugar content?

Thanks for replying Blondes, this one looks a bit more interesting than my previous threads obviously!

Tonight I am having a night off. I am eating wotsits, chocolate and might even order a takeaway and glass of wine. I am stressed by work, home and everything and after 6 weeks on this I need a night off. If I put on 2lb I've got the rest of the week to lose it, but I need tonight.

Well done on your 2lb loss Smokin and enjoy your night off, you deserve it.

GT sorry I don't know of any websites. I'm with year 2 and I must say there has not been a lot of wet play at lunchtimes, the kids usually choose a game to play as a class, we've done drawing cutting & sticking, they have a wet play box which has games that they sometimes play, I've taken in a dvd 'Nativity' which the kids loved, oh and stories, I took in a Horrid Henry book today just in case it rained, it didn't in the end, you could do quizzes, hangman, eye spy, hope that helps.

Smokin be bad and enjoy every mouthful xx

ok, I cant eat like I used to.

Had 3 bags of crisps, a cheeseburger from the freezer and the leftover quality streets (about 8) a fondant fancy and some haribo.

Now feel sick and stuffed and possibly worse than before. Going to go to bed in a minute and sulk

sorry, bad day. Having single working mum blues and that mixed with hormones and work stress and my normal depression is not a happy smokin.

smokin it's understandable, you have so much to do. We all have those bad days. Put your feet up, watch telly (in bed?).

Smokin sorry you had a crap day ((hugs))

Don't beat yourself up about today and go to bed and start anew tomorrow xx

It's a new day Smokin - hope it's better for you.

i had fruit for breakie and will eat bns soup at lunchtime and prob 5ish when get peckish - not eating till 8pm :( but will mean that i have 29pp on zizi :)

Hi guys

better day today, hard work but only work until lunch so busy chilling with an options hot chocolate with DS2 watching toy story.

eaten ok. feel deflated but really think its pmt - was due on on saturday but still havent, and the pcos really treats me like shite. also explains the sweet cravings.

work still shitty, but hoping it will be easier soon enough. all office politics which are shattering.

I'm watching the BL this evening, I missed it on Monday. Haven't read the other thread yet as I didn't want to know who is out this week.

pretty How's things? I am well impressed by your exercise. I WILL go running tomorrow.

blondes sorry to hear of dh's van, i hope it's not too expensive, what a complete pain.

Will they do follow up tests/whatever re dh's nose bleeds?

smokin Glad you had some time to chill, you really needed it.

I was having a really good week until today. I eat really early with the dc but ds had a friend round, gave them snack as he wasn't staying for tea and I had several oatcakes with peanut butter

If I remember right Pretty, it is the funeral today? Hope it goes as well as can be expected x
