The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VIII - The One Where We Waist Away!

[grinningbee]

Yes, it is cushion plumping time again

Pull up your favourite chair (I'm bagging the one in the corner thanks ) stick your feet up and join in with the nattering.

Plenty of room for everyone

No, we're going to Dalaman but I did go to Belek a few of years ago. We also went to Antayla in 2010. As you can probably tell, we like Turkey

Me too we stayed in a couple of the AI hotels on the beach in Belek they were lovely, not much else there when we went mind.

Antayla is lovely too, not done Dalaman yet, Gumbet was good pre child.

Very jealous, you will most definitly get to see and feel the effects of that lovely ball of fire in the sky!

Rushes in ::snogs Bee:: lovely to see you mate come sit on the naughty bench with me

And I think someone else has come back too, right Ria?

Thanks for having me back chaps. Things should be a lot more settled from now on. I'm just waiting for a date for my op, but other than that it should be all sorted. And I'm with you Choc on the emotional eating. The last couple of months prove that that is my downfall.

Anyhoo! Lovely to be back. Must read back to see what I've missed. Tomorrow I'm going to hunt for the scales or buy new ones.

Today I have eaten:

Weetabix
Savoury rice
Quorn chilli
2 x alpen lights

And a Kinder egg by mistake. Dd had one when we went out earlier, decided after some of it she only wanted the toy and shoved the rest into my hand, and I automatically ate it. Realised afterwards what I'd done! I need to reprogram myself.

Food tomorrow will be better as I now have all the shopping in.

Waaah! I wanna go to a 5 AI hotel on the beach in Turkey!! I'd even settle for 4 at a push

Welcome back bee! and nice to see a newbie - welcome clodagh

Right then, it is Day of Doom Eve, so if you're anything like me you'll be making a mental note not to eat breakfast or drink anything before jumping on those scales first thing not to mention the morning ablutions. Good luck everyone, don't forget to PM your stats; I'm shit at maths so you're best off being very precise re: start/current/weight lost etc!

Won't do List til around 9pm, for those who go to an evening group.

Night night x

Had a good wi tonight but crap group. Had to take ds and he played up :( so we left half way through

Hello bee and clodagh - sorry I was being rather rude there just ploughing straight in with my woes and hello slinky too, I've pmed you tonight with my wi

Hi all :)

Had another ok day!! Fruit breakfast, salad lunch, dinner was v late, 2 w/meal bread and spaghetti (syns on flora light)

Hifi rocky road 3 syns. Am so hungry today!

Did day 1 level 2 of shred - ugh!!!

I just had rack of ribs in bbq sauce with jacket potato and side salad. Then sticky toffee pudding with ice cream and 3 bacardis and diet cokes

No more nights out or birthdays until 21 st of month so will be fabulous till then I promise x

Night all x x x

Bee as per my post don't beat yourself up over the kinder egg it could have been worse, much worse.

Hi Clodagh welcome and get stuck in xxx

Where are you all????

Did I kill the thread?

Have you all been weighed and in the depths of despair??? I bloody hope not!

I am very tired after last nights meal and drinks and very sluggish, not much getting done today.

B- boiled egg, yoghurt and grapes
L - Pitta with ham and salad (will refrain from eating curly wurly as as per name change, it makes me fat!)
Not decided re dinner yet possibly wedges and turkey breast stir fry with mangetout

Just received an e-mail from colleauge re cakes out on her desk for her birthday.....MUST BE STRONG!!!!

I'm here. Only 2 pm's so far, so here's just a gentle reminder that today is

THE DAY OF DOOM!

...and as face is on holiday, I shall be doing the list tonight.

How did you find L2 D1 of Shred fhf? Aching badly today? Your meal sounded nice choc, and spirit and diet mixers aren't too many syns are they? Nice name change too Be strong and resist the cakes at work! (am jealous you can MN at work btw)

Weather here is so random at the moment, one minute it's bright sunshine, then next thunder and torrential rain

Greetings!

Hello to the new bods who have arrived since I went on my fatfest , and hello to everyone who is still here.

I'm in a bit of a daze - there's a yellow glowy thing in the sky, and I can't remember what it is

Right. I'm off out in a sec to buy some scales. Can't be bothered to play "hunt the box that they're in". They could be anywhere!

Food today:

Weetabix and a banana
Cheese triangles on toast with cucumber and cherry toms, an apple
Left over quorn chilli with rice, maybe a yogurt for later

Slinky my lovely, I'll pm you later. I'm not sure if I'm starting back from scratch yet. I'll see what the damage is first...

Anyone here keep chickens? Odd question I know, but now we have a large garden, it might be an idea. Just don't know whether it's a good or bad one though!

Howdy all
Bee! Welcome back - you've been missed
And welcome Clodagh :-)

Well done on even contemplating level 2 shred FHF
I'm leaving mine be until I know my wobbly undercarriage will stay put.

I shall pm you tonight Slinky as I have an evening meeting...I'm hoping I've lost something!

Ok off to do some housework while smallest toddler sleeping!

I actually broke a decent sweat vacuuming the house yesterday huffers, so it's not a bad idea to do it before group tonight! Good luck at your WI, I won't do the list til I'm back from boot camp and showered, so between 9pm-10pm?

I've just shush-patted my ds back to sleep, as he's a little under the weather and had 'only' slept for 1hr 20mins...I know he can do better than that! Especially as he'd been running around this morning. Am dreading him dropping his naps, as love having Tues and Weds afternoons to myself.

Ah bee it's so good to have you back! Not seen a menu like that for a while Good luck with your WI too, fingers crossed it's not as bad as you think. I seem to remember your amazing ability to shift half a stone a week anyway, so no doubt you'll be storming your way back to the top of the List in no time Don't have chickens I'm afraid, but isn't there a forum on here somewhere?

Right ladies,I have made a shepherd's pie and it is in the oven right now!

I don't have scales at home but am thinking of getting some - good idea or not? I think whilst losing weight it was wise not to have the temptation to weigh myself all the time but now I'm wavering!

Enjoy the bright yellow thing bee the heavens have just opened (again) here

Slinky I do it on my phone mainly, though come lunch I am straight on works internet. Hopefully they don't realise what it is or very soon I may see a sign that says 'policy breach'

Re scales I would say that I have lost a lot more weight this time round without having a set in the house. Previously I would be on them daily and maybe I put too much pressure on myself, but my losses were always smaller than they are now.

Huff! How's the recovery going? Hope you're much better now

I have scales . OMG. I need to go back through the thread now to find what my last weigh in was. I may have narrowly avoided bunging on 2 stone, but I can't remember my last stats. It's not pretty anyway.

As for losing a big chunk in a week... we'll see. I'd forgotten the power of quorn! And yes, back to the old faithful - cheese triangles on toast

Amazingly it is still sunny here. I'm sure it won't last!

I have checked my stats using a crafty combo of the old thread and MFP (which I have been using as a progress checker whilst AWOL).

I WI at my heaviest on 4 Dec 11... since then I have lost a total of 11.5lb. Since my last thread WI (April 18th) I have lost 7lb, and I am currently 1lb heavier than my lowest weight (on 17 June). I will be glossing over the fact that I am still 2 stone heavier than I was when I first joined MFP in Oct-ish 2010

I have a few demons to beat though...

Who is still around from the old thread? Hello to those who have joined since I went away

Hello all! IHappy DoD

'm not really here My internet connection is so bad that I can't really keep up with the thread permanently and my eating habits of late are.... um.... best left unspoken. Glad to see all the old faces though and not be the only one struggling (That sounds worse than I meant it ) I'll try to pop in a bit more this month.

Any more for any more? Hedge my Lovely?
