I've been making DS's birthday cake today, which means I've been nibbling away at discarded chocolate cake and buttercream.

Smalline · 12/05/2011 21:48

Mmmm chocolate cake, my favourite!

Smalline · 14/05/2011 12:57

Have got a bit complacent this week and have stayed the same, will try harder next weekSmile

Furball · 14/05/2011 14:01

just completely scoffed had KFC Blush

It's not normally my thang, but it was very nice.

Went out last night to a friends and refrained from ALL nibbles and goodies [pat on back]

Smalline · 14/05/2011 15:57

You did better than me Furball I went to friends last night for a BBQ, I wasnt too bad, but then I made some Eton mess and had 2 large portionsBlush, it was delishGrin. Went to the gym this morningSmile

MarionCole · 14/05/2011 18:29

We went out to Pizza Hut last night for DS's birthday tea. It's impossible not to overindulge in Pizza Hut. I can't see the weight loss being maintained for the end of the week!

Ambi · 15/05/2011 23:43

Hiya, I'm hoping to join in here, this seems like the best one for me. I'm 13.6 today which I've overindulged the last few months weeks and I need to be below 13 to make a difference then I'll go for 12.6 then 12. I'm a bit sporadic about posting so I'll try to check in. I'm off to Zumba tomorrow night and eating better foods than the junk I'm used to. I need to get into the mental zone and I'll be ok. I'm inspired by you all.

Ambi · 15/05/2011 23:44

Went to Pizza hut yesterday Marion, that ice cream factory is amazing though.

Tortoise · 16/05/2011 07:58

Well that's a relief. After a weekend of too many meals out and too much birthday cake I have just weighed in at 12st 4lbs, so down another 1lb. I was convinced that the best I could hope for was not to have put any on. Back on the wagon now.

Hello ambi :)

Tortoise · 17/05/2011 10:41

DD1s birthday today. Big chocolate cake for later. Need to ice it and decorate this morning.
Well done Marion.

MarionCole · 18/05/2011 19:48

Aaargh today has been terrible

Tortoise · 18/05/2011 19:53

Smalline · 19/05/2011 10:37

New day today MarionSmile

Tortoise thanks for reminding me that I still have some easter eggs in the car for the kids - given to me before easter!!! Blush
Hope your DD had a great birthday, what theme was the chocolate cake?

How are you doing Furball? are you still getting weighed at SW?

Have been doing ok myself this week but think that I have been having too much carbs, caved in last night and had 2 glasses of wineBlush.

I'm away for the weekend, doing a sponsered 10 mile walk, this will be my first time away from the kids, I'm guiltily looking forward to it BlushGrin

Tortoise · 19/05/2011 13:58

Just a chocolate cake small. Topped with crumbled flake and strawberries! Very yummy! Hope the walk goes well.

12st 10 (and a quarter) Blush
Not good. Not good at all.Sad

Tortoise · 24/05/2011 18:52

Where have you all gone? I am struggling big time at the moment. Just keep snacking. Rarely eating a proper meal just loads of crap. I feel fat, bloated and unhappy.
Also split yet another pair of jeans round inner thigh.
Had to buy some size 16 off Ebay because nothing fits properly and I have nothing to wear.
on a possible positive note I have an application for a job in local coffee shop. Terrified but have to get back to work at some point and this is ideal hours.

MarionCole · 25/05/2011 19:37

I'm here Tort, really struggling though. I wish I could find an exercise I enjoyed then I wouldn't have to cut down on food so much. I've been bored today, not enough work to do, and I've been snacking all day.

Tortoise · 25/05/2011 21:08

Sorry to hear your struggling too. Im on my 2nd Snickers duo of the day.Sad

OP posts:
MarionCole · 25/05/2011 23:19

I really wanted to be 12st by the end of May - still have 3lbs to go, going to be a struggle I think.

Furball · 26/05/2011 07:26

I'm here..........to confess my sins........

sorry to hear you are struggling tortoise - good news about the job though!

Thanks for thinking of me smalline - good luck with the walk

marion - boredom is the route of all dieters downfalls, hope you find a solution.

I'm still 12st 6, but surely can't be for much longer. I made a banoffee pie at the weekend.......then on the tin of condensed milk noticed a recipe for millionaires shortbread, so thought I'd make that too Blush

I can confirm - both are absolutely delicious.

we are away the weekend, so that will curb my scoffing. Hopefully the weather will be kind so we can get out for walks etc.

I'm being monitored for my blood pressure and have to take it myself 3 times, 3 times a day [like i can remember]

all websites state to lower it - loose weight and exercise - how much more proof do i need?

lovechocolate · 26/05/2011 07:52

Hi ladies,

Can I join you? This thread isjust what I need! I started at 12 st 9. That was 14 weeks ago. Am now 11 st. 7 (which I am pleased about) but am struggling with the motivation to keep going!

lovechocolate · 26/05/2011 07:54

Just realized my nickname says it all!
