Busty Babe With GSOH Seeks SW Partner for Weigh-Ins, Bad Jokes & Barely Veiled Self-Loathing

All right, when you've un-cringed from the above -

I'm about to (re-)embark on Slimming World and since I have neither the time nor the funds to go to classes could really do with a coupla pals for those delicious weekly morning weigh-ins. Is anyone interested? I guess it would be ideal if we were all SWing, but it ain't essential. It's the praise or blame I need, alongside willing recipients of lengthy descriptions of the size of my arse Grin.

Few stats (and needless to say we needn't go in for actual weights here)

I lost 3.5 stone a couple of years ago on SW, and have gained about 20lb of that. I KNOW! Silly bint.

As a first step I want to lose 10lb because this will take me into the 'light enough for IVF' category (I have 6 months left before referral for fertility treatment and if not pregnant by then would like to arrive in the pink of health).

After that I would like to lose another 10lb and say 'hello stranger!' to my sad neglected wardrobe of vintage frocks.

Finally, if you are interesting in hanging out, would you mind awfully looking in the mirror and checking that you actually are properly overweight?! Because nothing would depress me more than celebrating getting into a size 16 dress, when everyone else on the thread was lamenting finding their size 10 skinnies a little snug Hmm

Right. I'll now sit back and await rejection. Alpine my luvva, if you're reading this do join!

Ha ha! putting DD to nap, should have updated before posting, that's about 10 messages old!

AlpinePony · 19/04/2011 14:09

Just finished a packet of mini-eggs. My mouth has that horrible sweet, "cringey" feel to it and I feel nauseous. Am I proud of myself? :( Gah. Riding tonight, treadmill morning.

BlooferLady · 19/04/2011 14:23

Put it down as your Doomsday Treat, Pony. That is what I shall do this evening .

cheepcheepchoconora · 19/04/2011 18:40

evening all! not had a horrendous day here

didn't have brekkie

for lunch got a mini baguetine from sainsbos and some of their tikka sarnie filler (don't comment!)
and might have had some crisps and an icecream in the park

having a baked potato tonight and shall be running again - hoping to top 1.5 miles with no stops this time

where's this rundown of the DoD (tm) then?!

and WOW pixie!!!!! Well done that lady!

alpine - I would eat a mountain of mini eggs right now if they were in the house... would it be cruel to steal DD's easter egg?

Onlyaphase · 19/04/2011 20:30

You know what - that Blooferlady has gone out enjoying herself for the night and left us all here in suspense. Shocking behaviour.

I have eaten well today, making the most of the Day of Doom. I fully intended to go to the Meeting of Doom today, but found myself unable to leave the house as DD is ill. Spent the day in the garden instead, with lots of paint, paper and a trail of footprints up and down the garden, it was lovely. Hope everyone else managed to enjoy the sunshine today too.

cheepcheepchoconora · 19/04/2011 20:54

enjoy the sunshine?!! I was stuck in the bloody office!!! Just waiting for DH to get home in 30 mins or so and I'll be off running Grin

pixiestix · 19/04/2011 21:41

5pm she said. 5pm!

BlooferLady · 19/04/2011 22:02

Oooo just to say - those who have club type weigh ins tomorrow do feel free to C&P the list and add yourselves.

fishandlilacs · 19/04/2011 22:21

well done everyone-I am not weighing in this week as I am on holiday.

MadameBoo · 19/04/2011 22:26

Woo-hoo well done C4ro

BlooferLady · 19/04/2011 22:28

yeah well done C4 Grin

OP posts:
Onlyaphase · 19/04/2011 22:34

Good work C4ro - is it just me or does 2kg sound much more than 4.4lbs?

Bloofer how was the theatre?

BlooferLady · 19/04/2011 22:38

It was aces ta! The feller that got me the tickets is a patron, so one mention of his name and caps were doffed and wine was issued. It was most pleasing.

OP posts:
cheepcheepchoconora · 19/04/2011 22:45

wooo well done C4ro!

I shall be victorious next week - honest guv!

I have been busy polishing my halo whilst running tonight Wink

AlpinePony · 20/04/2011 06:48

Holy Moly check out slinky c4ro. Roight then, as c4ro is supermodel of the week - I say she must post a link to her chosen dress of the week. c4ro - show us what you'd be wearing if you weren't at the office/covered in baby puke/had an hour to put on your make-up every morning.

AlpinePony · 20/04/2011 06:49

In other news, I had a poo last night and the scales show this morning that I've lost that pesky .4kg I put on - so looking forward to next week. n.b., am not suggesting that pooing is the sole source of weight loss! Blush

BlooferLady · 20/04/2011 08:10

hurrah for Big Poos. Pony i am a martyr to my bowels - always have been - and I drink some Turkish herbal tea to get me going. If I didn't use it i would have to eat 16 green apples and drink pints of warm water.

And I agree - C4ro as punishment celebration for having won this week you have to post your Inspirational Frock of the Week Grin

In other news my lovely delicious kitty staged a dirty protest last night, for reasons unknown Sad. We think 'tis because she is due to be spayed or perhaps stressed about stuff. Anyway, I discovered the second poo as I stumbled to bed in the dark. Guess how I discovered it? Yes, that's right. And guess what I had on my feet? Yes, that's right.

OP posts:
cheepcheepchoconora · 20/04/2011 08:22

euwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww bloofer!

for those interested in far TMI a good cup of normal tea (or 4) gets me going Grin

still feeling good after last nights run - and today I am eating brekkie (allbeit at my desk) ... a vanilla latte, and a croissant ........hmmmmmmmm probably not ideal! Bloof bet there aren't any slimming world days where that would be free! Blush

AlpinePony · 20/04/2011 08:45

bloofer I am familiar with the feeling of lukewarm cat poo between the toes in the darkness. :(

In apps news (Android - "Bodystats") I have lost half an inch from my waist and half an inch from my hips and thighs since last week. Waaaaay!

BlooferLady · 20/04/2011 08:52

That's ace work Pony Grin. Assuming 2 inches = 1 dress size (and it does), you're looking at another 3 weeks and you're into a smaller size already!

I was VAY NAUGHTY last night and had Bombay mix and a cheap chocolate bar as my Doomsday treat...and today I think I am having lunch with the OM, but we'll prolly go to a Vietnamese place so I can have green papaya salad and things of that kidney.

Trying to go to the gym every day at the moment and have managed it except for the day I'd had 4 hours' sleep. 30 minutes savagery on the cross trainer (400 cals gone Ithangyew) and on to weights. I did 35kg on the lateral pull yesterday [total badass emoticon]

OP posts:
AlpinePony · 20/04/2011 08:58

Oooh... I may have to go upstairs later and check two pairs of jeans which "go on" but have been a trifle muffiny.

BlooferLady · 20/04/2011 09:03

BTW where is our Colditz?

OP posts:
IWillCountToThree · 20/04/2011 09:10

Damn, forgot to add mine yesterday!

In my defence i was in hospital most of the day with my nan who'd had another fall. (She's fine)

I lost 1lb last week.

IWillCountToThree · 20/04/2011 09:17

Sorry, that's

IWillCountToThree - target 10lb, total lost 1lb, loss this week 1lb
