17th thread lucky for successful and sustained weight loss????? Let's hope so!!!

Waking and working will have burned loads of calories, although your body might be holding on to those you are eating to fight the bugs.

1224 cals today including my evening G&T . Not used exercise cals today so hopefully some extra good there from my exertions

Should be fine at work tomorrow as never really hungry there. Haven't planned tea so need to sort that so i don't go off track.

Hello! It's me! About 6lbs to lose but I'd like somewhere to declare tiny victories along the way (or not).

Sazz, I would pass out eating so little, but admire your 'trading food for gin' style.

I'm doing mfp too, Loti, partly to get a handle on my lack of iron. I seem to be averaging about 1350, and lost 2lb last week.

Portion size is what I'm having to work on as I don't do sweets/ choc anyway.

Yay, hello Red Lentil, nice to see you back

Gin is dessert

Huzzah! -1.5 to 11.0.

Wold LOVE to be 10 something come weigh in tomorrow. Fingers and lips crossed

Wow go sazz

Thankfully also -1.5 down need another 0.75 to get to last weeks weight and 1.75 to the previous weeks baby steps tho

Hurrah for us all I too am down again, only 0.75 on yesterday but that brings it to a round -1 for the week with one day to go.Not bad considering the rubbish I shovelled in at the weekend Got my low-carb snack food planned for this weekend though so should be able to keep on track this time...

Welcome back red

Woo hoo all

Grapefruit, chicken, cabbage soup, banana, grapes, coconut yoghurt, beef chilli in tortilla with rocket. No gin . All in at 1120 calories.

Also went for a snowy stomp in the park at lunchtime for 40 mins which was lovely

Hoping to go below 11 in the morning, but have conference food, posh dinner, alcohol tomorrow and then a leaving party on Saturday night to contend with

I MUST get back to shredding as my arms are truly horrific. They were lovely back in the spring

I am taking my swimming cozzie, although no idea if there is a pool at the hotel. Would be wise to check i guess

Just looked back at thread - was 10.13 on 16 Nov.

Arse - no pool but there is a gym. However i'm not lugging my gym kit all that way so will just have to go for a walk in Green Park on Sat morning.

Just scraped it at 10.12.5, so -2.5 for the week. Will be VERY chuffed if I can keep it up this week.

Fingers x'd for you all. Xx

That's billiant sazz, well done! Hope you have a fab time today but it doesn't derail you again

I'm down another 0.5 making -1.5 for the week. Not bad considering I was +6 on Monday... Definitely being good tis weekend, and a 7.40 dentist appintment on Monday morning () should keep me off the booze on Sunday night!

Well done ladies

I am down 0.75 so back to last Friday's weight which is a feckin miracle

Just noticed my typo - was 12.13.5. Another llb would have been lovely!!

Well done on the losses ladies.

Keep it up!

Down 0.75 here too: I spot a trend ...

The main victory this week is that I really don't want to snack in the evening which is a habit that really grew on me in 2012. A small mug of semi-skimmed hot chocolate is enough to fool my brain, it turns out ...

And my jeans aren't strangling me! My weight loss method for the last 20 years has been based on the premise that I have refused to ever buy any bigger clothes.

Well done red and loti, we're all on a roll

sazz arf at 12 stone 13, you're fatter than me now

Oh FFS! 10.13.5.

At least I could report a massive weight loss next week

Red, you are spot on about not buying any bigger clothes. I really do need some more work clothes as far more office based than previously, but I refuse to buy any until at least half a stone is gone.

Food yesterday was ok (ish) given circumstances. Obvs way over calories but could have been worse

Breakfast at the hotel and I had bacon, toms, mushroom and egg. Was pretty rank actually and wish I had gone with the smoked salmon they had. Hey ho.

Will try and be good for rest of day but may be derailed by a drinks and nibbles leaving party tonight

Well done sazz, pastries would have been my downfall

I didn't do too bad either, I did have a chocolate chip cookie and a cheese straw at work but that didn't then lead to bread, cake, crisps etc etc etc so counting it as a success Bit too much gin though so will have to be careful not to feed my hangover with carbs.

Been to gym for the 1st time in 2 weeks

Out tonight but driving finding mfp really good as when I want to eat something I know I have add and it makes me think if I really want it! Well it's sort of working

Well done on swerage sazz and fjorny for stirring clear of too many carbs

Oops

Clean slate, new day.....

You and me both sazz

loti you were out last night, do you need to join us in the naughty corner???

Yes

None of you will want to know how delicious mumsnet lemon drizzle cake is with poppy seeds in then.

Not too dreadful here, but Tim had invited over some lovely friends who are emigrating soon and we had the kind of lovely lazy meal we're normally too cash- & time- poor to do.

Today I've been driven to cake by a heap of rural development funding application forms I'm filling in .... Glamorous, eh?
