Summer holidays weight loss boot camp

[Paperplane]

I'm determined to lose weight over the summer holidays and not put it on! It'll be great if I could drop the kids off in September about a stone lighter.

I've decided to try a diet which is low in carbs at meal times and snack on fruit only. I'll do half an hr exercise every day. Either davina dvd or gym. My treats will be things like an ice lolly on days out.

Come, join in

Starting weight 11st exactly

thanks Shiney, you are doing so very well. I just don't have time to eat at lunch so stuff down some ryvita :( then end up hungry later!

Hi mabs!
Phew so it wasn't just me in the naughty corner shiny! You more than deserve a treat though!
I've been very good today.
Having cod and sun dried tomato and basil sauce tonight with green veg.
Had some baked beans for lunch-random I realise.

Having another bad day here. I'm just not a happy bunny currently.

Sent that too quickly!

How the rest of you are ok and Tuesday isn't treating you too badly :)

i was good till ten mins ago ate 15 maltesers dammit! didn't even want them, just saw them and ate :( ggrrrr

Hi mabs Have you got a fabulous hol or glam party on 21st Sept then !

Hope you are OK prolific babies can be very hard work esp with a toddler too so don't put yourself under too much pressure, if dieting is making you feel worse not better weight can wait iyswim.

Shiny I think after all these saintly weeks a night off will have done you good

I have had an extremely stressful week which has meant far to many glasses of wine but not alot of food so i'm still in calories. I have a hot date with DH first weekend in Sept and want to be under 10 1/2st for that which should be possible...i'll be back to weigh in on Friday morning ladies!

Hi Fauxfox - 21sept is start of long w/e in Dubai with 8 girlies :)

Wine is always my problem, I don't eat loads, had none sinceSunday but am going out tonite so we will see...

porn indeed! now i am hungry

FF- you are so right. I'm exhausted and incredibly grumpy! I need wine damn it! Sadly since being pregnant for nearly 2 years booze and I are on dodgy ground, I live in fear of even a slight hangover!

Eaten poorly today. I probably need to exercise the last of the tyre off. Pushing the lorry of the double buggy I hopefully can.
I'm in such a foul mood currently, DP's fault!
Ah well.
It's my birthday Friday. I may fall off the wagon then.
How's everyone else?
(I'm so tired and not on the planet, I nearly signed off with; lots of love xxx)

Sadly i ate a curry and had loads of wine last night :( very bad indeed, but I have booked to start with personal trainer on monday..i need to!

Ooh personal trainer Mabs! I need one of those, I'm not good at self motivating.
Well both boys are in with me having milk at the moment. I'm seeing my physio today so hopefully will give me some exercises to do.
I need to make myself a food plan, any ideas Shiney? What do I need to be eating?
Hope all are well. Do excuse my ranting!

P.s mabs, we all get a naughty food day!

it was VERY naughty I'm afraid

Thank you Shiney! Thank you! I just don't eat enough which ironically probably isn't helping me shift the pounds.
I eat one meal a day with a protein lunch.
Sparkling water, diet caffeine free coke- it's bad I know. 62 calorie instant cappacunio. Maybe a booze free beer in the evening.
That diet is not working!

I think you are my food twin!
I love diet lemon Fanta! Easily replaced by San Pelligrino limon. You can get it in Waitrose or Sainsburys. It's the dogs bollacks of sparkling water with lemon.

Right so more food, I love cheese, oatcakes, nuts, feta. Right that's it I'm moving in with shiney!

Do you think my lack of food is stopping me lose weight?
I just consumed my first large glass of wine in at least 11 months. Feel tiny bit wobbly

Right you are my twin most definitely. Not many know of San pellegrino! Orange flavour is also amazing!
I don't often drink, pregnancy etc but birthdays are made for 5.5% rose!
Would eating more than normal make me gain weight? I worry.

I drink too much wine...I love plain San Pellegrino tho so lemon or orange sounds delish - shopping today so maybe I should raise my game and choose waitrose instead of bog standard tesco

I do deserve treats because despite the wine this morning i am 10st10 which is 5lb off since last week! I haven't even been hungry!! Or done any official exercise (school hols should count as a marathon in itself!). V. pleased. Am hoping for 10st7 next friday.

I love this thread - lots of things to put on the shop list now...feta, special fizzy water, nuts, houmus...yum yum
