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

A not very salubrious LAN-dan branch. Good for people watching!

AlpinePony · 17/05/2011 19:22

STDG I too have a Coco - she is an asshat ! Grin

Rode the horse tonight and it went really really well, we were both covered in sweat afterwards - although I at least wasn't flashing my vagina at people.

AlpinePony · 17/05/2011 19:34

Btw, I avoided that thread where bloofer probably picked up stdg - I couldn't face wading through 300 "OMG if I were a size 14 I would probably just kill myself"! Hmm

Hedgepig · 17/05/2011 21:41

cripes Pony if I were a size 14 I'd have a party!

we had smoked haddock, new potatoes and veg tonight for tea, it was dead yummy and really quick. I have stopped eating now BUT DH IS SCOFFING BISCUITS AND CAKES ::cover eyes::

welcome SDTG, lovely to meet you and the dog is very cute :-)

well done cheese and mummy on all of your exercise, I managed a walk for about 15mins at lunch time which is better than nothing I suppose. And bloof on your mega walk too

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 17/05/2011 22:22

AlpinePony - you are right on so many things. Yes, that thread is where Bloofer picked me up (golly she must be strong Wink), and it is definitely a thread worth avoiding.

I'd love to be a 14 too - maybe we will get there one day, Hedgepig. And 15 minutes walk is more than I managed today, so well done. The cute dog says thankyou too, and sends all you lovely people licks and tail-waggles. She is currently up on our bed, snuggling up to dh - the floozy!

Onlyaphase · 18/05/2011 07:58

Right you lovely lot, today is the Day of Doom.

If you could all PM me your weight loss this week, plus target/amount lost to date etc by 9.15 tonight, I will do The List by 9.30pm.

Best of luck to you all - have already walked the dogs for 40 minutes today in anticipation of the scales.

Will pop back to chat later I hope though it does seem rather difficult at the moment. You all seem to be getting on so well though.

mummynoseynora · 18/05/2011 08:49

Morning all

STS this week... which is a bummer.... BUT my evil % scales kindly told me I have lost 1% of body fat, which has to be good - doesn't it!?!?! Grin

pony - well done on the riding - cracking up at the thought of the vagina flashing... Hope mine wasn't on display when I was running Wink

STDG - Thats good that you are on meds now and having the therapy. Poor you with the pain walking Sad is there a local shop you could get to or anything? or even sit in the garden ? am sure its the fresh air that does it Either way as long as you are on the road to recovery thats what matters :)
Coco is gorgeous by the way

Hedge - Well done on the healthy dinner, did you manage to avoid the biccies?

Only - well done on your 40 min walk already... there will be no exercise for me today Sad

BlooferLady · 18/05/2011 08:56

Am still chortling at STDG re-naming her dog. Can't you change it to 'carob'? Grin

Well now. That's 2.5lb off for me this week, meaning I can just about wear slipped effortlessly my black skirt made of net panels. Dear me yes, I look zackly like Natalie Portman in Black Swan. What?!

Annoyingly as soon as I weighed and dressed I did a positively apocalyptic shit, but can't weigh myself again owing to being in t'office.

Well done on the fat loss that Nora!

THANKS FOR LISTING ONLY: you = superhero.

BlooferLady · 18/05/2011 09:01

D'oh, forgot food!

B - coffee and a banana. Far from ideal I realise, but I wanted to get to the office at dawn's crack to spend the bare minimum of time with mentalevilexboss

L - grilled chicken, pea and edamame salad, fruit

D - Hmph. Not sure. I am going to a book launch then out on the razz no necessarily to get wankered . I think I'll try and fill up with some wholemeal pasta before I leave, so as to soak up the boozeage a bit, and avert temptation of sundry bookish canapes and treats.

StayingDavidTennantsGirl · 18/05/2011 09:17

Yay on the weightloss, Bloofer!! I know that if I could lose just two pounds a week, I'd be down over 5 stone in a year. I am going to go and have a weetabix for my breakfast, with semi skimmed and a banana. Not sure about lunch, but tea is teriyaki chicken skewers with noodles and stir fry veg. I might almost reach my 5 a day! Shock

BlooferLady · 18/05/2011 09:20

Fanks SDTG! Yes, slow & steady will hopefully win the race. Although dammit I want to be top of the Big Fat List at least once in my life!

Your meals sound lush. That's pretty SLimming World ackshooooly - in due course you might find that SW really suits you!

OP posts:
AlpinePony · 18/05/2011 09:26

A what? 5 a what ? Grin

No movement here. On my scales or my bowels. Hmm No poo yesterday and the teeniest, tiniest poo this morning which doesn't count. Hmm I'm sure if I'd been able to poo properly it would've been better. I can't believe I'm resorting to pooing to get weight loss. :(

Cheeseandbiscuits · 18/05/2011 09:33

Morning all! The weather is black and so is my mood. Lost 1lb this week which I'm disappointed with but that's what happans when you have wine and pizza for dinner on sat night. Oh and I've barely poo'ed for the last 4days.

Bloof - stonking effort well done. Enjoy tonight! I think actually booze is evil -I ate the same as I did the week before but had wine and only lost 1lb. Use that as motivation to stay away from el vino.

Nora - great, well done.

Sdtg- ooh yummy food, healthy too. T'is very slimming world, nudge nudge.

Today I will eat
b: branflakes nat yog and fruit
l: salad, new pots, chicken
d: beef madras (sw rec)
plus ml yog and fruit

exercise: gym. Dd going in crèche for first time... Eek!

obrigada · 18/05/2011 09:39

Morning, well got weighed last night and lost half a friggin pound, am disappointed as I did put the effort in, just going to have to try harder this week, my mantra for this week is "fill one third of my plate with superfree food" which sounds easy in theory but in practice is a different matter Hmm All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Cheeseandbiscuits · 18/05/2011 10:30

obri 1/2 lb is better than nowt, at least it's in the downward direction. Positive thinking and all that. It's another week now so you can get on it. Well done!

obrigada · 18/05/2011 10:40

Thanks Cheese:)

MadameBoo · 18/05/2011 16:50

Stayed the same. I really need to get my finger out...

duckymum · 18/05/2011 18:01

1lb off
Surprised as thought I had mucked all up on Fri/ Sat.
I may go on to muck up again this Friday as DH is requesting take away, as we haven't had one for ages. Will be doing fast walking with pram while DD in nursery, so fingers crossed for good weather so I walk further.

Congrats to all the losers, and hi to SDTG!

stinkypinky · 18/05/2011 18:35

Hi SDTG 1lb off - will take me a year at this rate! Grin

weblette · 18/05/2011 18:43

Hooray - have found you!!

Just started week 3, lost 7lbs so far. Want to lose 3stone in total. Have done SW before and managed nearly 2 stone off but am determined to see it through this time.

Doing Extra Easy and so far it's doing what it says on the tin.

My biggest weaknesses are wine and nibbling kids leftovers.

Well done on losses this week!

Hedgepig · 18/05/2011 18:57

minus 1lb this week at least I didn't gain I haven't really stuck to the plan tbh so better than it should be.

Hi weblette and welcome, kid left overs are my downfall too, they have to go in the food waste immediately or I will pick even though i don't like them

Hedgepig · 18/05/2011 19:03

Warning possibly TMI Cheese I keep meaning to say I have been getting a bit "bunged up" on this diet too, which is odd given the amount of fruit and veg I'm eating but I have found weetabix x2 and a HEb for breakfast really helps.

pixiestix · 18/05/2011 19:07

Lost 2.5lbs this week ,and still didn't get SOW at group Angry I am never going to win that bastard basket of mouldy fruit!
Good week last week and so far this week BUT... Ben and Jerry's is on 2 4 1 at the Co-op and I succumbed to two tubs of Phish Food this afternoon. They are calling me from the freezer. I fear for my sanity unless I eat them pronto Grin
Well done all, especially Bloofy - how thin we both are this week! Wink

pixiestix · 18/05/2011 19:08

Oh yes, another one doing rabbit poos here. More water is the answer, I think.

mandalee · 18/05/2011 19:15

Ladies!

Have finally finally! read my way through ALL of your wonderful thread, and my big fat Princess Beatrice hat is off to each and every one of you.

I'm trying to lose 20kg and have had just about no luck for the longest time, mostly because I can't be stuffed I kept feeling sorry for myself. Like nobody else in the WHOLE WORLD had to do what I had to do to lose weight, and I OUGHT to be able to have a doughnut, dammit, because other people do it all the time and they look fine...

Sound familiar?

Well, you all have collectively put paid to that notion. Your strength, humour and grace under pressure have somehow helped me break through a barrier that's been there for years, if not decades. Since I started reading this thread earlier this week, I've lost almost a kilo, and have felt great about it.

Can I join the club, pleeeease? I meet all the [serial-dieting chronic self-loathing phobic-about-swimsuit-shopping] criteria, I think... Grin

Just in case, here are my current stats:

Mandalee, loss to date 2.5kg, loss this week .8kg, 12.5% of the way to my 20kg goal

cheers!
