Where are you all?
I'm going to weigh myself tomorrow morning and start afresh next week and I will add food list to the thread.
Been really low on food this week so haven't actually eaten much just not very healthy stuff!

sorry tortoise - I've been off literally stuffing my face.

I keep saying 'oh I'm gonna cut the crap and crack on' and then......my stomach gets the better of me.

Tortoise · 08/09/2011 09:55

Oh dear I know that feeling furball. I'm getting fed up with clothes not fitting now so.I really do need to cut out the crap!
Have no idea what I weigh, so I'm ready for a shock in the morning!

OP posts:
Tortoise · 09/09/2011 07:31

Biggest I have been for a long time. This has to change!

Weighed in at 12st 6 today, I'm pleased with thatSmile

I'm having my breakfast now, bit late I know, toasted cheese sandwich, not very healthy I know, but I tend to have the weekends off and eat generally what I like, then try and be as good as I can during the week.

Have a good weekend ladies.

Tortoise · 21/09/2011 12:44

Well done small.
As usual I am doing really badly! I'm thinking of a chocolate and crisp ban for me during the week. Will take masses of will power but I need to do something.
Hit 14st the other morning which is really not good.
All going well with DP though! One positive thing in my life.Smile

OP posts:
Tortoise · 01/10/2011 09:36

OMG! 14 st 5lbs Shock
Ok, so I eat crap but have been walking more. Im not eating anymore than I was before when I stayed around the 12st mark. Why suddenly put on so much?
I have to do something now. I don't want to get any bigger.Sad

OP posts:
Smalline · 01/10/2011 18:29

I think it's call contentment TortoiseSmile

I lost 2lbs this week, after putting on 1lb last week, I'm hoping to keep that off now and lose some more.

How are you doing Furball

Furball · 03/10/2011 12:10

I'm still 12st 13 and a bit

still faffing about........

Furball · 07/10/2011 10:45

OK - managing to get my head round to losing again

was very good yesterday - went out for a meal and refused pudding! - thats gotta be worth minus 10 lbs Grin

am just starting back with running - will try and go 3 times a week - even if I only walk it'll be better than nothing.

How are you two tortoise and small

Tortoise · 07/10/2011 19:27

Still same as usual furball but the difference is I'm happy. Not happy with my fat but so happy with life Smile.
I should get back into cycling really. Trouble is DP doesn't work and his DS is now at school every day so I want to spend time with him!

OP posts:
Furball · 07/10/2011 20:51

can't ask for more than being 'happy with life' tortoise - I'm so pleased for you. You so deserve it Smile

I won't ask what you two get upto all day WinkGrin

Tortoise · 07/10/2011 21:12

Grin making up for lost time! 6yrs single, you miss out on things!
At least if I'm at his house I'm not snacking at home. Trouble is I still seem to pig out once home!

OP posts:
Tortoise · 03/11/2011 17:57

Wow, its nearly a month since anyone posted on here!
How are you doing small and furball?

I think I am the fattest I have ever been. Even size 16 jeans are squeezing my fat stomach.

I really want to lose a stone before Christmas. Just need to get myself motivated and get on with it. Fresh start tomorrow.

OP posts:
Smalline · 05/11/2011 18:20

Tortoise · 05/11/2011 18:55

Smalline · 07/11/2011 15:09

Gosh Tortoise sounds like you have been having a great time. Hope today is going good for you healthy eating wiseSmile.

Have had to stay at home today because DS is not well, am trying my best not to go near the biscuit barrel or the sweet tin, really should give up drinking cos I'm sure that is not helping, I really need to do something drastic.

Furball · 07/11/2011 17:22

hello both

blooming heck tortoise you have been having a good time. - I don't know what to suggest as mentally I aint there either -hows you and your chap by the way?

I've been awol and am 13 stone dead. tis not good.

I've started running again and have even been on my own when my buddy can't make it.

but.....I have been eating like a pig, even after my run today. I feel so stuffed still now, I can't face tea Blush

I don't quite know what to do about it. I'm sure I've got a screw loose somewhere.

and my clothes are a bursting. I've just bought all new dresses, yes dresses - haven't been out of trousers in over 10 years and I don't want to grow out of them. but just can't help myself.

Sorry to hear your struggling too small

anyone got an action plan?

Tortoise · 07/11/2011 21:52

Im wondering if something to do with anti depressants. Not eating any worse than before, in fact probably eating less!
Picking up 2nd hand exercise bike tomorrow morning. Plan to do at least 1 hour a night.

Going very well with DP Smile. He.even slept over in half term! Bit of a squash in my sofa bed cos his 4yr old wouldn't sleep on the mattress on floor! He is used to sharing with his dad though and I don't mind. My dc all seem to like him.

Today been very bad! Toast this morning, custard creams, 2 bags crisps, wispa gold, 2 daim bars, big plate of curly fries with cheese and 2 slices of bread and butter, 2 single finger time outs and another daim bar! Very very bad Blush. Loads of crap, nothing good. Maybe do better tomorrow.

Smalline · 08/11/2011 14:21

It looks bad when you write it down doesn't it Tortoise, maybe that's what we should be doing, putting it all down on here.

Tortoise · 08/11/2011 16:38

yes, looks terrible written down.

Today I've had
Raisin medley bar
Beans on toast, (1 & 1/2 pieces toast, no idea how many beans. DP made lunch!)
Bowl of grapes.

That looks much better than yesterday!
1hr on exercise bike later.
Pork, boiled Spuds and veg for tea.

Furball · 08/11/2011 16:55

Excellent Tortoise - well done to you, and yes a huge improvement on yesterday. Smile

1 hour on exercise bike will be tough. I take the laptop in the garage with me Blush but still struggle to keep going longer than 20 mins.

maybe we should set something Grin

I've had an alright day today too

allbran and banana for brekkie

batchelors packet pasta n sauce for lunch Blush - it is easy, and filling especially as I washed it down with a pint of water. and a gold bar

tea = chicken and jacket

tis easy isn't it. - one day is easy. lets try the same again tomorrow.

I had another dress delivered today - tis LUSH but.....I could do with being a bit sleeker in it..........mind you I'm still waiting to get into that darn jacket I bought in the spring and have still not yet managed [big time]BlushBlushBlush
