Blondes, the 2lb will soon go - especially if you get yourself to the gym. The party was a great idea, the wine had to flow x

Pretty the 1lb does count, I'd update myself if I were you.

I didn't wi this week as couldn't get to the sw class. Half term has been challenging as normal with dieting, but I have just been eating grapes then pickled onions to ward off the Sunday night munchies.

Also an eat as much as you like Indian didn't help at lunch time. I only had 1 plate of starter and 1 main course though.

prettybird · 30/10/2011 21:28

All I've had to eat today is 2 brazil nuts, 5 almonds and a banana - and even they were a risk, so I've not had anymore.

Let's just say that quite a lot of liquid has been leaving my body....... [hblush] And no, I've not been being sick - but my stomach is very tender [hblush][hblush]

Still, should do the diet good [hsmile]

Blondeshavemorefun · 30/10/2011 22:10

why arent you eating today prettybird? x

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/10/2011 06:48

One would imagine poor Pretty is poorly B!

prettybird · 31/10/2011 08:11

Everything I've eaten has left my body rapidly in liquid form..... TMI Blush

Down to 12 stone 8lb this morning - ie another 3 lb off, but am not going to take that as an official WI, given once I can eat, it will probably go straight back on.

Blondeshavemorefun · 31/10/2011 20:09

poor pb :( tho wish i had the shits 9sorry) as need to lose some weight bdq

RatherBeOnThePiste · 31/10/2011 20:33

B. Having the 'shits' as you put it doesn't equate to weight loss. Not in reality anyway! Hope you're feeling better Pretty x

prettybird · 01/11/2011 09:44

Down to 12 stone 7lb this morning - feeling a bit better but still not eating much. If I don't go mad between now and Friday thern I should be able to post a big loss :)

but I am currently making a batch of tablet for my dad to take to South Africa as gifts HmmBlush

smokinaces · 01/11/2011 10:08

prettybird - just be aware that you need to drink a lot of water. You should be having 2ltrs a day, but more like 3 if your body has been expelling that much. You should still have a pretty good loss though!

I have started my diet again. I'm not joining in the weights etc here just yet, but will be soon. Its day 3 and actually going really well. I have Christmas in my head as my aim.

And Piste/Blondes, I have decided not to come to the Christmas do. Looking at the list its only really you guys I know and I'd rather have a separate night with you guys that have to run for last train etc. Maybe we could get together between Christmas and NYE? I am childless from 30th-2nd Jan, so much more flexible Grin

prettybird · 01/11/2011 16:30

I have been having lots of water to counter the "liquid farts" as my dh calls them Blush

To be fair, that side of it seems to have settled down. Stomach still feels a bit tender though and I don't feel like eating much. The "proof of the pudding" is that I have just made a batch of tablet and left the scraping for ds Shock and the two small pieces that I have eaten to check the set/consistency actually sickened me and I do n't feel like any more Hmm That is unheard of! Grin ...... Blush

While I am not eating however, I have decided that it wouldn't be sensible to do the Shred. Which is annoying as I was just about to go back to Level 3, off Level 2, which I hate :(

smokinaces · 01/11/2011 17:59

Level 2 does suck - I gave up when I got to L2 I admit. But good call on not overdoing it when ill.

What does tablet taste like? I dont know that Ive ever had it (which could be a good thing with my waistline!)

prettybird · 01/11/2011 19:22

Level 2 is the worst level - in a strange sort of way, I think Level 3 is easier.

Tablet is like a cross between fudge and toffee - sort of melt-in-your-mouth concentrated sugar. No calories in it whatsoever Wink

Now that I've made another batch, I need to send some to Blondes as I'd promised her some ages ago.

Blondeshavemorefun · 01/11/2011 23:27

yes send to me plese - sod it my weight is gaining so may as well eat

smoking - sorry you arent coming to mn meet but def pisty and you and me should get together and go and paint your town red - where we went before - so not not to 'out' you

plus i keep getting texts from a certain mutual male friend of ours ............................................

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/11/2011 07:31

Tablet is yum and DH loved it too!!

I liked level 2 on the shred! Well I didn't dislike it. Those walk out pushups were honestly my fave. Apart from anything where you can lie down. I liked those parts very much.

prettybird · 03/11/2011 08:02

Didn't mind the walking push-ups but hate the bicep and leg raises (whatever they're called), the plank jacks and the other plank aerobic exercises. And above all, I hate the chair squats with a v-raise.

Still not right - but off to see my best friend for lunch, who is up in Edinburgh for a couple of days (she lives in North Wales). Should be a cheap lunch!

bebeballroom · 03/11/2011 12:24

Sorry for not keeping up (again) there is just a lot of crap going on at home! (Add to that the kitten that DH decided was a good idea Hmm)

Anyways...diet is not going well. About 4 weeks ago I tripped over DD & twisted my back & it has been getting worse & worse. Saw my fave GP today & he has said that when I tripped & have twisted my back & now the muscle spasms are pinching a nerve & causing sciatica (sp?) In near constant pain & hardly sleeping as a result. Lovely GP has given me some stronger painkillers/anti inflammatories & a physio referral to try & sort it out. If I'm still bad in a month I might have to have an xray to check it out!

Pretty - sorry you have had a upset tummy! :( Nasty!! Hope you feel better soon!

Welcome back Smokin!

Blondes/Piste when is meet up thing?!

bebeballroom · 04/11/2011 07:00

I can't do that Saturday! (The one before would have been fine!!) Bugger! Can't really afford it anyway, but would have been nice to come. :(

OP posts:
prettybird · 04/11/2011 09:27

Well, there are some benefits to having had a dodgy tummy Grin - I have lost 4lbs since my Saturday weigh-in :) ( five pounds since my Friday WI Wink)

Had a lovely day out yesterday with my best friend - and she did get a cheap lunch, since all I had was a banana and almond cake and a cappuccino when got there and a diet coke for lunch.

well done pb - i sts again but there we go

RatherBeOnThePiste · 04/11/2011 14:00

I forgot to weigh in this morning, but yesterday I had sts so I will claim that. Fully back in ketosis now so hoping for a loss next week.

prettybird · 04/11/2011 16:32

Just checked where I was this time last year and seen that I am 4lb lighter :) ok, the tummy bug helped achieve that but still....

So I should be able to get properly into the "11stone somethings" by Christmas. :)

Smalline · 05/11/2011 14:19

Got a shock this morning, weighed myself and have put on 4lbsSadBlushSad, this has shocked me into action, I haven't been doing any exercise for the last 2 weeks, so am planning to start back shredding next week.

We are hoping to exchange contracts by the end of next week or beginning of following week, we need to complete before 30th November.

prettybird · 05/11/2011 14:58

I'm sorry Smalline - maybe it's just a blip and you'll be pleasantly surprised next week.

The good news is that it's back into a proper contest to break through that 12stone barrier into the 11stone somethings. We can spur each other on! :)

Trimmer - are you going to join us?

Hope your exchanging of contracts goes through. The length of time of the English system always shocks me - up here, from offer to completion is usually a maximum of two months. The solicitors have to work for their money to get the searches etc through quickly as only something really untoward would stop the sale going through. But then, up here, the survey has usually been done before the offer.

GettinTrimmer · 06/11/2011 09:56

I am struggling, i wi at the club I go to on Friday, first time in 2 weeks, and I gained 2lb Sad Blush all my own fault. I had this text from the sw leader that sounded a bit odd she was going on about when you feel "weak" think about everybody else Hmm but I feel kicked up the arse.

Anyway, enough about me

pretty I think I will join you! Glad you are better now that diahorrea (probably not how it's spelt!) was nasty.

smalline Sorry to hear about your gain Sad we won't let it get us down, it's time to make a big effort on the run up towards xmas.

I agree with you about exercise it makes a difference. I am so pleased to hear about your house going through. We are still settling in, we couldn't face decorating up the stairs so my friend from school who fortunately has set herself up as a decorator did it with her dad, setting up plank, ladder, etc. We can now start putting our pictures up again!

piste well done on sts

blondes well done also on sts.

smokin I agree that level 2 is horrible, and good luck with your plan on the run up before xmas. We will get there.

Bebe I am sorry to hear about your back Sad it's good you are able to see a really nice GP. Btw that kitten is gorgeous Smile
