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

[BlooferLady]

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 .

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

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

Well done on the 1lb off Ducks! Pretty impressive given the chocomania weekend!

think my scales are broke, says ive lost 7lbs since yesterday. DP asked if id removed one of my limbs.

Bugger! Been dieting for a week and have no idea what the results are.

Those scales sound fab Jenny want to swap them with mine? :o

haha, id have loved it if it were something believable!

Hello Day of Doom!

Well, I appear to have put on half a pound. Or as my highly irritating SW consultant would say "Ooooh Pix - found a little half there". [chmm]

Not too gutted as I have been eating like it is going out of fashion. The problem now is getting back into "the regime" again for next week. I don't feel like it. I'm tired. I'm lazy. I still have an easter egg left to eat.

MORNING ALL! Today is the DAY OF DOOM BUT ONE DAY LATER BECAUSE WE'RE CHEEKY BUGGERS (TM).

I am about to drink a pint of coffee in the hope I get the ol' bowels a-shuffling [literally no shame whatsoever emoticon].

If you want to go on the list can you pliz PM me target, loss this week, total loss as usual - if I try and calculate it all there will be CALAMITY as I can't count and am fairly stupid, all told.

Pix if I have only gained half a pound I shall be dead chuffed. My belly is still distended from the roast lamb and pommes dauphinoise

I dont need to write anything today, I can just copy and paste what pix wrote, as I have gained the same, and am feeling EXACTLY the same, even down to my little boy having one egg left...........good luck today everyone, welcome to everyone new, will have a proper catch up later.

Right just found a new SW group in my town at 7.30pm tonight. I have been going to WW but weigh more than when I started, I find it sooooo restrictive. Also it was 6 miles away so not only did I have to travel but I had to arrange childcare too as it was in the day. There is a SW class in my town but it starts at 6pm which is a terrible time if you have kids. SOooooooooooo 7.30pm tonight it is. Kids in bed, 2 minute drive - watch out wardrobe here I come. [csmile]

I seem to have gained 5lb . DH and I have no idea how it can have happened - I did overeat over the Easter weekend but I'd've thought you'd need to binge for a week to gain that. Am in pieces as to be expected - what was the point of all that incessant humiliating exercise -I'm heavier now than when I started.

Too gutted to be nice to anyone....

Bloofer - I'm in the same boat as you as have put on 4.5lbs this week. I feel sick with myself but am so determined to be strict with myself this week and exercise. I'm expecting a big weight loss for next week. Stick with it.

Hey Viva - is it really wrong of me that I'm glad not to be alone? I have just cried for about an hour straight. People must look at me at pity me - it's a fucking hard thing to bear. But you're right the only option is to channel the despair into determination and expect great things next week. Thanks for cheering me up slightly deario.

In a rush, will catch up later. Put on 4lb.

Bloofer no pity as were all in the same boat!! Iv lost nothing, gained nothing...for the last 4 weeks. Yes im thankful i havent gained any but still...uhh why am i doing a little more housework exercising if it gets me nowhere...::humph::

Should probably stop eating Taylans easter presents. Or just eating in general.

Does anyone else actually hate the feeling of hunger?? if i could bear to be even marginally hungry for even just a hour day id be doing better!

By the way....what is all this Paul Mckenna stuff..i clearly am an idjit as ive never heard of him and from what iv read on a different threads these woman are merely ''not eating when im not hungry...stopping eating when im full and just eating whatever i want when i want'' what the fuck! pardon my language...well if you can do that then why the hell didnt you just do that in the first place? oh i dont know maybe im being ridiculously cynical but to me thats common sense which is what i clearly am lacking.

Ha what a big fat grumpy woman i am today...ho hum pigs bum...off to shower the wobbly bits i cant reach properly.

After spending all week -2lb, this morning i'm -1. How??

Didn't eat much the last few days though, hypnosis seems to be working!

So my stats this week are: total to loose 10lb, Loss this week -1lb, total lost- 2lb

I'm actually quite chuffed!

Bloofer, Beaver et al - can I just remind you that a gain of 4 lb isn't a gain of 4lb in actual fat. It is the weight of extra food you may have eaten plus the water weight that goes with it.

If you eat carbs freely, you will gain more than the weight of the carbs as each sugar molecule will attract water molecules to it, so you retain added water when you suddenly eat more sugary and starchy food. I can't remember the exact ratio, but think it is 7 water molecules to 1 glucose molecule. So, as a very rough estimate, think of it as 1/2 lb sugar eaten means temporary weight gain of 4lb. Cease with the carbs, and the water will disappear.

If you think about when you start a diet and restrict carbs, you always lose a lot of additional water weight in the first week. Well, the same happens in reverse too if you start eating lots of carbs

Hope you feel better soon

Only that has really encouraged me, thanks so much . I hadn't thought about it in quite those terms. I am inclined to do a few red days for a bit to redress the carb balance, as it were....

It's very hard for me to stay sanguine about all this stuff - I used to be even heavier than I am now, and my whole youth was blighted by obesity, so I'm rather prone to being utterly desolate as opposed to just 'a bit miffed'. But desolation helps no-one.

I have an appointment with a personal trainer at 2pm today so I'll talk to him about how to maximise fat-burning at the gym. Also my BFF called this morning and encouraged me to throw away my flour and other baking bits so I can no longer cook (I eat no junk food whatever, but I have something akin to an emotional addiction to cooking/baking/feeding people ). I emptied 2 bags of flour and a packet of icing sugar over the a binful of soggy tea bags and mouldy raspberries - it felt like an alcoholic pouring hidden bottles of gin down the sink!

Bloofer :( That is very bloody wierd. Could it be the gym thing with building up muscle? Maybe you'll see the effects next week. Have you done measuring as well as weighing?

Viva, Vanilla and Jodie Commiserations to you all too. It was always going to be a tough week. Arsebiscuits to it. Easter is over, fresh start now. All will be well.

My sister did the Paul McKenna thing and said it was total crock of shit. And I believe her. :o

My nice scales said I have stayed the same - celery and a poo worked their magic. Thank feck.

BLoofer I am exactly the same as regards baking - I love it, and will make cakes etc for others at the drop of a hat. Unfortunately I also eat the end results to excess as well.........

I admire you for ditching the baking stuff - I can't do that, I'm too mean to ditch food. I'm just about to make rock cakes at the request of DH, but he and a mate are doing strenuous work out back building stuff so I will take the results out there and leave them there. Am feeling strong today!

Sorry - major cross posting. Only has put it all so much better with her science.

Boo that was really really welcome, thank you :) And i think the gym might have something to do with it - Him Indoors is convinced that I have visible muscles on my arms and shoulders. I might start measuring now too - it certainly can't hurt. WELL DONE on staying the same - i think i need to learn from your celery habit!

Only it's such a tough one isn't it? Baking is such a major part of my life. I think some of it stems from my childhood - our house was very very stressful at times because my father tended to get very angry about things, and there were 5 girls all shrieking and howling and getting hormonal and bitchy, and on the day of the week my Mum did all her baking of bread and cakes for the week everything would calm, and we'd all get on better and my Dad would calm down. Ever since then it's been my solution to everything ... and, I suspect, how I buy love . Good luck with the rock cakes. Alas i am more than capable of eating several cakes' worth of mixture before the bastid things are even in the bastid oven

Ah Bloofer that makes sense re the cakes = calm and peace in the house. My reason for baking is that my mother hardly baked at all, and so cakes were a real treat, and so I bake now to treat myself and my friends.

The rock cakes rocked. And have all been eaten (not by me) as they were yummy. Luckily it never occurred to me to eat the raw mix at the time!

Right - not going really that great as have been out for a picnic today.

Had 2 (nearly dry) weetabix for breakfast and a cup of tea.
Had a small bit of red onion foccia for lunch with some mango and pineapple and a low fat yoghurt for pudding.

Have come home and was starving so have had a cappuccino (6syns), a hifi bar and a packet of onion ring crisps (95 calories, no idea how many syns).

Am planning on having vegi stirfry for dinner, so thats healthy anyway.

0.5lb off, so not too bad really. Has been a really challenging week. Found the cross trainer today - not used it as batteries had leaked - have an adaptor on order.

Am enjoying my 1 stone loss - clothes baggy, wearing tight tops as boobs good with bfing.

C4ro apologies for ignoring you - DD won a massive easter egg - nearly as big as her! I was so proud as I had spent hours on it It was a mummy duck with ducklings on a pond, with dangly legs.
