The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM)

[BlooferLady]

You lot! Over 'ere! Sorry for taking liberties with the previous thread: I am no good with suspense, and it was like looking at a gigantic throbbing pustulating boil and not being able to squeeze it

My weigh in is done for tomorrow too Bloof. My last chance to wrestle control back has been firmly defeated by an inconsolable baby and pizza hut. Oh well, tomorrow is another day and all that.

Love the idea of your cupcakes. Weevils will add protein.

Aah well bloofer. enjoy yer cupcake, maybe give the rest to DH to take to work with him to avoid eating them all. I had a very lovely welsh cake yesterday and am having a couple of very lovely glasses of red wine tonight. Cos I is on me holidays!
Meant to say, that woman was a complete bi-atch, you poor thing. Why can't people just be nice. I am a firm believer of treat ohers as you wish to be treated!

Welcome back Cheese I was just limbering up to do the List of Doom, but as you've already started I'll bow out graciously.

Reading the last few messages I just cannot believe what some people say to others. Maybe they think that a bit of chubbiness means you're deaf too?

Those cupcakes sound nice. And I don't even like mincemeat that much. Not great fan of dried fruit in general, so I was very happy this week when DH said he wanted a fruit cake for his birthday. I can guarantee a fruitcake will remain untouched by me, which is more than can be said for any other type of cake/biscuits/scone arrangement in this house.

Aah sorry only, I wasn't sure if u wanted to do it!

Good morning DoDers.

I'm getting this in early as I'm off out the door in a minute to take dh to work. These are the results from the Bee jury (please bear in mind it's all water as it's the first week!). I have lost 6.5 pounds! Not sure if I'm supposed to pm it, if I am please say, that's 15st 11.5 down to 15st 5 - final target 10st.

Todays food will be:
Weetabix and some fruit
Toast with spaghetti hoops or cheese triangles
SW spinach and ricotta cannelloni (syns for the ricotta)
Snacks are the usual!

grinninbee well done, stonking result

most people pm then we make a big fat list of losers and gainers but as it's your first time we'll forgive ya! I'll copy n paste it from yer post. My in laws have no scales in house. Bloody thin people, so have to weigh myself later. Preparing for a gain!

I think kid raises an interesting point and a very true one - we remember word for word the things which have made us feel "worthless" and "disgusting".

One's which spring to mind:

1. Daphne's got a brand new diet, once she's had her tea she'll try it. (From The Broons) Courtesy of my dad.
2. By a school teacher : Move your great bulk over here. - No witty response for that, I simply called him a cunt and walked out.
3. You fat fuck - Shouted from a chairlift at me as I skiied down a black run.
4. Why are you so fat? You look like a man - told to me by a small child I'd been asked to escort on a chairlift, I should've pushed him off and let him plunge to his death on the rocks below.

bloof Mincemeat? I can barely type through my dry-retching. I actually RAN AWAY FROM SCHOOL on christmas dinner day because I thought they were going to force me to eat them. I ran all the way home crying and I wouldn't go back to school until my mum came back with me and made them promise not to force me. :(

grinningbee That is fucking awesome! Fuck the water-sayers - just smile knowingly and say "wonderful isn't it? All that cellulite - now gone". Then say something like "Do you think you should try it?". Stand back for cat's bum mouth par excellence!

Have put on 2lb. Since yesterday. Arse. I will shuffle to the bottom of the list with my head held low.

I've gained 2lb. I'm devastated. Aside from last Wednesday when I had a 'day off' and last night's cake incident, I have been extremely good.

What's the fucking point of adding the stress of a diet to the last weeks of a doctorate if I'm going to get even fucking fatter?

sdfgk.jsbndlgndlgnsldogdfsdfu

Oh fuck it Bloof & start again, could be water or anything. Onlyaphase same goes.

Well first DoD for me and lost 4lbs, really chuffed with that I usually lose like 2 at the most (bloody thyroid) and have done lots of EE days. Probably just the sheer shock of not mainlining donuts.

So: start weight 12st 6lbs
today: 12st 2lbs

[Mr Burns] Eeeeeexcrement [/Mr Burns]

Can I please apologise for my moment of colossal self-absorption and say WELL DONE to Bee - what a fantastic start pal, gives hope to us all! And well done too to Ursula. And I'm not even gritting my teeth - I like hearing that SW works; it makes me want to carry on even when I'm being an utter fucking shambles.

Am chortling at Eeeeeeeexcrement

I think I am disproportionately upset because I have a party this Saturday and one after, and I had so desperately wanted to be below 15 stone, for my own sake; I am so utterly thoroughly sick of always being the fattest bint in the room, and I have a beautiful vintage black lace maxi dress that looks nice, but on someone less bulky would look absolutely exquisite. I dunno, I just....I would just like to hold me head up, you know? And not look so manky.

All right, that's my self-pity over, I promise. Ursula I love your line - fuck it and start again. That's like a 21st century Scarlett O'Hara

Pony am speechless at those insults. what the fuck is wrong with people?! I can only hope assume they are desperately unhappy in some way.

sorry for not pm'ing the results. Won't do it again guv.

If it makes anyone feel better this week with the gains, this will be my 5th attempt at SW. Admittedly 2 of the times I stopped were because I got pg, but the other 2 I fell off the wagon and was too ashamed to go back. I've joined online which suits me waaaaay better, especially with two small dc, plus I've got all of you as my virtual group!

I can remember sitting down one night and eating an entire Sarah Lee double chocolate gateaux. I then thought seeing as I'd so badly sabotaged that day I may as well have a whole week off... and so it continued.

Bloof I can't believe what that lady said to you - so incredibly rude. And Alpine just for all your comments too. People are really bloody nasty.

I stayed the same this week. Will kick arse in gear and get a loss next week. Oh yes.

Bloofer I am not just saying this, I really mean it. You are gorgeous. Seriously. My other half agrees, he saw a pic of you and said "ooooh, who's THAT" and then made appreciative noises until I killed him politely asked him to stop. Whether you are 15 stone or 10 stone, you are still gorgeous. So hold your head up high at the party and say "I am beautiful and fabulous now, I shall be even more beautiful and fabulous in the future".

BIG congratulations to the fantastic losses, well done all. You are inspiring me, as is the SW magazine that turned up yesterday. I am going to menu plan and that will hopefully help my motivation.

I got over all the diet induced navel gazing a while ago, I'm so fucking determined this time I could gain a stone overnight & wanna kick its arse!

And that changing room woman was a first class biatch I concur.

With the party/ies- get your hair done, get new shoes, new jewellery, make up, borrow them if money's a prob-they will make you feel good without having the feeling :)

Are we supposed to PM?

Grinning I'm doing online too...

about 4th attempt for me.

Alpine I have a similar, longer list of my own, fuckers!!

Sorry I always post 4 fucking posts when one would do!!

Managed to lose a pound despite overindulgence over the weekend, will probably show on the scales next week
Anyway am back in the game today, haven't had chance to read through since Friday, will do that now!

My glum message from yesterday should be ignored and you can all roll your eyes at the whiner-for-no-reason; I get to report -2lb! Miracles occurred overnight as that was not at all the position yesterday or the day before. I was +1lb last week which was what was making a plateau such a bad thing.

bee Your DD shouting at the veg did make me laugh. I'm not actually doing SW as I don't have the books. I have cleared out the cupboards of biscuits, cakes and anything nice and am trying to just have one cooked meal a day with normal portion sizes. Wowzers to the 6.5 lbs too!

OnlyAPhase I've got about 3 tops which may not sound all that minimalist but my DD is going through a snotty dribbly phase and for now I'm putting everything I wear each day in the washbin. I have about 3 pairs of trousers too so I'm getting a bit sick of seeing the same stuff. I just need to stay right on top of washing and hold on those few weeks until I get all slim and waiffy and feel like I've deserved a trip to the shops .

Bloofer Also XX* to the the changing room twat, hope the crass thoughtless tit doesn't pass her attitude onto her kid.

Ursula How much is the online SW

morning, well done Bee & ursula top losses

I have put on 1.5 lb , for my mega cycle ride I had to eat pretty constantly just to have enough sugar in my blood to finish it and I have been feeling very tied and under-carbed (not a real word I know) so haven't really been sticking to the diet.

So its not surprising anyway back on the wagon onward an upward (well downward in weight obviously). The good new was I had to buy new clothes in the week and I got into size 14 trousers, I have not been in a size 14 in 20 years I was so chuffed

They have an offer on or did, so £20 less than usual, I paid £65 for the 'silver' ooh luxurious, which is 3 months plus a year's magazine subscription. Think bronze was £60 ish and mags are almost £3 each & I like to read the mag. I think it's £20 a month thereafter. The gold was a rip off as was £80 for extra books that you get the downloads to anyway

I guess the same as spending £5 a week at group. I don't do groups though.

& congrats on surprise loss C4ro & on smaller dress size Hedgepig! Minimins.com call that a 'non-scale victory'

(see never just the one post from me -eyeroll)

Gosh, well done hedgepig - I have promised myself a Vivienne Westwood dress when I'm a 12/14. I have NO fucking idea where I'll wear it. The stables? Walking the dogs?

I need to lose a few more kg to get in to my suits again - believe it or not, my favourite suit is a Tesco F&F one! But right now it's obscenely tight and I fear for everyone's eyesight should I sit down too quickly. Am very fed up with wearing "smart casual" to work and honestly do feel that being "scruffy" along with a "big fat fatty fat mcfatterson" is hindering my career. Operation promotion in action! Does not help that the most successful woman in my building is tall, slim, gorgeous & well turned-out. And nice. The fucking caaaaah.

Well done c4ro and obrigada for defeating the diet gods!

Glad to have company on the lardy step Bloofer.

I totally agree that it is lovely to hear of others doing so well on SW. Congratulations to Bee and Ursula and to especially to Hedgepig for the size 14s. Am at that like you wouldn't believe. I remember the day I bought my first size 16 skirt for work, just to tide me over until I'd lost a bit of weight......that was in 1996.

Ursula I don't do groups either any more. Such a waste of time around here as there aren't any like minded people. The last one I went to was like a pensioners day out, and I sat there thinking 'This is 90 minutes of my life I'm never going to get back' .

New day, new start and all that

I'm going to start menu planning on here, to keep myself accountable like some of you do already. What I'd really like to do is eat Pony's delicious food, and indeed there is nothing stopping me from doing that other than lethargy. And the lack of a personal chef.

Breakfast was toast (HEB) with 2 chopped hard boiled eggs and dollop of salad cream (2.5 syns)
Lunch will be baked potato with baked beans and cheese (HEA)
Supper is spaghetti bolognaise - probably about 6 syns for the sauce - and salad with dressing (3 syns)
Snacks - pineapple, apple and banana

I've already wrestled an 8 stone labrador into the vets this morning, and that brought me out in a sweat. The vet had to come and shove from behind too. That must count as exercising?

Hope everyone has a fabulous day - it is windy, cold and showery here.

Hi all,

Major congrats to this week's big losers! (so to speak) I'm somewhere in the middle this week, have lost another 500g (about a pound, for you Imperial sorts).

Have explained to Cheese that I'm posting this despite having not actually weighed in this am - I had a launch party/coffee morning thingy at my house today for my new biz and completely on purpose forgot about the scales. And I'm NOT going to do it now, 'cos I've had a scone and about 6 cups of coffee, which probably total a kilo or three.

I've had an interesting realisation - namely that I have a powerful and largely inexplicable urge to sabotage any success I manage to have on the weight-loss front. Viz., after finally breaking through a stubborn plateau this week, I had too much pasta for dinner night before last, and polished off a bottle of wine (yes, a BOTTLE) last night. Why, dear reader, would I want to do such things? Anyone else do this?

Also ran across a book about the Dukan diet in Waterstone's yesterday, and am mulling it over. Looks v restrictive, at least at first, and thus is unlikely to impart good long-term eating habits. But then again, I already know how to eat healthily - it's just that I only seem able to maintain my weight on that kind of plan. Plus, this Dukan thing is really meant to WORK - like, lose 6-10 lbs in the first week kind of work. So couldn't I do that bit and then work my way back gradually to regular healthy eating?

Someone tell me this is a bad idea. 'Cos I know it must be, but damn, it's tempting.
