12st 11lbsShock

Enough is enoughShock I am not putting on any more weight this year.

So far today

3 cups tea with 2 sugarsBlush that's the only thing I fancy at the moment
1 slice of toast with jam

Not enough food I know my body probably thinks it is in starvation mode, I must do better.

I might try the low carb thing myself Furball I know that my body responds well to thatSmile

Hi. Hope you both had good Christmas. We did.Smile
New year coming up and new start needed! I can barely squeeze into size 16 jeans. I'm getting acid reflux that only ever had before when pregnant which I'm assuming is due to fat. I feel tired and everything seems more effort.

So I think new thread and fresh start needed in Jan.

Tortoise · 27/12/2011 10:48

Happy new year lardy ladies Grin. This time next year I will NOT be lardy.Smile

OP posts:
Furball · 01/01/2012 06:06

and wishing a very very Happy New Year to the both of you Small and Tortoise Smile and yes hopefully we can actually shed our lardyness!

Smalline · 01/01/2012 12:33

Happy New Year Tortoise and Furball I wish you and your families a healthy, happy and prosperous 2012.

Think I will start low carbing for the foreseeable future, would be nice to lose 3 stone this yearGrin but 1 stone would be good for starters. I'll weigh myself after my body combat class tomorrow.

Tortoise are you still on medication? If so is weight gain one of the side effects?

Tortoise · 01/01/2012 12:49

I stopped taking anti depressants. I has to stop taking the ones I was on for a week to change over to different ones but I felt happy and didn't start taking the new ones.
Getting lots of acid and sort of pressure pain under rib on left side (like in late.pregnancy when baby pushes on ribs). Googling wasn't a good idea!

Not healthy lunch today! Bacon sarnies! Gammon, roast Spuds and veg for tea tonight.

OP posts:
Smalline · 01/01/2012 14:30

I'm glad you are off the anti depressants tortoise Smile

Furball · 02/01/2012 06:04

13 st 7 Blush

(1/2 stone more than my heaviest ever)

so................day 1......................... and = a healthy homemade minestrone soup, am quite looking forward to not feeling like I've been blown up with a foot pump Smile I feel totally bloated, I've totally indulged this chrimbo and obviously the results show.

Smalline · 02/01/2012 12:37

A Whopping 13st 3lbs todayBlush whopping for me coz I'm shorter than both of you if I remember rightly!

Would like to lose 2st & 4lbs

So far today I have eaten a large banana and am currently tucking into a covent garden soup, butternut squash & sweet potato, hopefully that will keep me going for a whileSmile.

Furball · 02/01/2012 16:00

oh dear small ! we really are a right bunch aren't we.

I've done well today - got stuck in to me ironing and actually finished the never ending pile. This is something that only happens in a blue moon Grin

Made and have eaten 2 x bowls of Minestrone - was delicious and 100% healthy.

Have been for a 3 mile walk

and will have a teeny jacket and a small tin of beans for tea

1 cube of chocolate down and 2 to go [yummy]

Smalline · 02/01/2012 16:57

Well the soup kept me going for all of half an hourBlush, I then had a sweet craving, had 3 tea cakes, a mini chocolate and custard filled brioche swirl, later whilst out shopping I had a steak bake from the bakers, have just come in and have consumed 4 jaffas with a cup of coffeeBlush. Dinner will be chicken with pasta, then out to the theatre tonight, am planning to take some after dinner chocolate mint thingeys to chomp onBlush. Oh well tomorrow is another dayGrin.

It looks terrible down in writing, but I need to shame myself.

Furball · 02/01/2012 19:02

Enjoy the theatre small Smile

tomorrow is indeed another day!
