uh oh Trimmer!

Well we're in the final month of the year. Only 24 sleeps now until Christmas. No chocolate advent here though (apart from the kids) only lost 1lb last week, so trying extra hard this week to try and lose more like 3lb (fingers crossed)

Ideally I would like to be 11st for Christmas. But thats a 12lb drop, which might be a bit optimistic

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2011 06:52

Morning gang. Just popping in to say still 9:13 so still at goal. Fab after last weekend and the busy week I've had. Smoky low carb does have plateaus like any other diet. Just stick to it.

GettinTrimmer · 02/12/2011 10:30

Well done Piste!!

Smokin only 24 sleeps to christmas there will be a final push from me.

Unfortunately a gain for me this week, but only 1/2lb. It would have been more but I avoided dh's birthday chocolates and cakes.

Went to see doc last night, he has booked me in for a scan to rule out something called Morton's neuralga Hmm on my right foot. BUT he weighed me and gave me the news that I am 1.5 stone heavier than 5 years ago.

He advised me to lose weight, he said imagine that's a backpack you're carrying, it will have an effect on your lower limbs. This is really kick butt time, first time I've ever been told it's time to lose weight by a doctor. I've no problem with blood pressure but it's true just lately my feet are aching.

Blondeshavemorefun · 02/12/2011 17:51

sts lol

how the hell did you sts piste after all that wine and food you ate last week - not bloody fair

trimmer , hope foot is ok xxc

RatherBeOnThePiste · 02/12/2011 18:31

I sts B because I drank slim gin only except for the wine we had in the room before which was hardly any. I didnt eat anything in the pub at all and really didn't have much at that tapas place. I actually weighed 9:12on Monday morning!

smokinaces · 04/12/2011 20:43

Another 3.5lb off today. If I do 3.5 again next week (and it seems to be my regular weight loss number at the moment) it will be the 2 stone mark. It will mean my lowest since my teens, and only 1st to healthy BMI and 1st 5 to target.

Bought a size 12 lace dress for my christmas do - and it fits lovely. I am so chuffed.

Well done Smokin Smile

Smalline, how is it going? Did move go well?

Blondes, well done for sts.

Piste same to you. Are you introducing more carbs?

I am trying hard, would like another few lbs off before xmas.

GettinTrimmer · 06/12/2011 20:53

Is anyone out there?

I'm still hanging on in there.

smokinaces · 06/12/2011 21:45

I'm here!! Hanging in there too, doing ok. Weigh in this week is on Saturday so a day early. Going to make it harder to get that 3.5 again!

But am having a good day - wearing a bra 2 cup sizes smaller, and boots a size smaller so the weight is definitely going!

Now Piste is maintaining, Blondes is off the diet and Smalline has moved there arent many of us left here are there?!

GettinTrimmer · 06/12/2011 22:48

Xmas Envy at bra 2 cup sizes smaller! But very well done to you Smokin Xmas Smile

We've not seen Pretty or Bebe for a while either. We'll keep it going though Smokin. You should be there soon.

Blondeshavemorefun · 06/12/2011 22:58

i will re start in the ny as HAVE to - got really fat :(

really fucked off with myself tbh :(

GettinTrimmer · 07/12/2011 14:58

Blondes, you look fab on fb.

Don't give yourself a hard time, you will be in the right frame of mind when you're ready. We will do it together.

I've just had a bag of crisps as a treat but planning a very low cal stir-fry for tea. Hoping for a loss this week. My foot stopped hurting but now it's started playing up again so no exercise atm.

Blondeshavemorefun · 07/12/2011 18:52

GettinTrimmer · 09/12/2011 10:48

I am aiming to lose another 3.5lb by Christmas. 2 weeks to go. It will be challenging as I'm going out to a Harvester for a meal on Monday night then on Wednesday to an Indian buffet!

School xmas fair this afternoon as well, I'm running the raffle so will hopefully keep busy and away from all those cakes.....

prettybird · 09/12/2011 16:39

Slinks back in hpoing no-one had noticed she'd been slacking off Xmas Blush

I have not been in the Zone the past few weeks and as a result, my weight has crept back up again Xmas Sad At Weigh in this morning it was 12stone 10lb Xmas Sad

However, on the bright side, that is 3lb loss since last Sunday, when I at last dared get back on the scales Xmas Smile So, even if it is technically an increase since I last officially weighed in, it actually means that I have been back in the ZOne this week. I've even been doing the Shred again - 4 times already this week!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 09/12/2011 18:23

Oi Pretty! I can see you!!
I was 10st exactly this morning so a pound on, but I'm not sure what my final weight will be at the moment. So I shall lose that this week so I see that magical 9 again!

smokinaces · 10/12/2011 19:45

Hey Pretty! 3lb is fab, and go you for doing The Shred!!

Piste, 1lb could be down to anything, its minimal Grin

I did another 3lb this week - am a day early due to babysitters, but am consistantly losing 0.5lb a day. Am 11st 5.5 - am determined to be 11st for Christmas. Would love to jump on those scales on Christmas morning and see a 10 for the first time in 10 years.

Well done Smokin you will be there by Christmas Xmas Smile

Pretty we are both nearly the same weight. Will race you again.

Having said that it's is very difficult atm. Guests for lunch yesterday bought a big box of cadbury's fingers. Have left over brie and my downfall stilton in fridge. Just succumbed to a small bowl of tortilla chips with some salsa. Meal out tomorrow night..... I am hoping not to gain this week.....

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/12/2011 22:58

aww thanks you guys, but seriously im fat and really pissed off withmyself and bloody mark for making me gain weight :(

waves to pretty - without being horrible, glad im not the only one failing at the moment (sorry, thats mean)

well done smokin!!!

trimmer well done on loss

GettinTrimmer · 13/12/2011 22:16

We will soon need a new thread for 2012!

I am not having a good week and hoping for no gain on friday.....

prettybird · 14/12/2011 14:16

We will indeed Xmas Smile

Sorry you've not been havng a good week Trimmer - it's a difficult time of year. There are still a few days to go, so drink loads of water and try to be careful and maybe you'll be pleasantly surprised! Xmas Smile

I've been Shredding every week day, so am feeling pleased with myself. Have also been resisting the mince pies I made - only had one (or was it two? Xmas Hmm) from the current batch of 39 (some of which are in the freezer). Also made tablet last week and have only had a few pieces - and have been abstaining from all alcohol Anyone would think I was desperate

I will however definitely let myself go allow myself treats from Christmas Eve onwards. Xmas GrinWineWine

smokinaces · 14/12/2011 21:12

Aaaw Trimmer, it is a hard time of year so dont beat yourself up. Just try and limit the damage - I could easily put 7lb on Christmas week, so if I manage to sts or just +1 or 2 I will be happy!

I was given a piece of chocolate fudge today homemade, instead of Christmas card. Was yummy, but glad the box wasnt near! Got Christmas dinner tomorrow - was going to skip it, but been told they want a team lunch so we're all going together. Hoping to stick to meat and veg on my lo carb, and then just have my soup for tea. Went shopping for Friday evening too, and got chicken and veg in various forms (staying at a friends). Nan over for dinner Sunday - and guess what we're having?! Yup, chicken and veg again! (thank god there are various different chicken styles and veg!!) And got the girls coming round next Friday too - we're doing masterchef style dishes (e.g. 6 mini portions) so one each. I've picked honey & mustard chicken with parsnips - I can chuck it in the slow cooker, and host then. Not great carb wise, but better than anything potato or pasta based. Not sure about the other courses though - 5 other ones the girls are making, including 2 desserts! Going to have to keep jumping up to tidy or something!!

My weigh ins this week are Saturday, and then next Thursday (22nd) then probably Sat 31st, just got to confrim the last one with my lady.

Am looking forward to Christmas. Am actually a good stone under what I was this time last year (had piled some of the weight back on again) so thats cheerful at least. Hoping to be 11st for Christmas, so 1st off target, but it is slowing down now.

Hope the shredding has worked for you pretty when do you weigh in? x
