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

Just realising doing naff all exercise buggars up your calories massive

Red cake

Sazz double oops

Must do better tomorrow!

Fjorny good luck at dentist Tom and for hopefully swerving the gin

Ok, so have been better today. Not great food - cereal/toast/pizza/muffin, but not much of any of them so i'm hoping that i have made a small reversal of the previous days excesses.

Having a catered lunch at work tomorrow which will be difficult. I so hate not being in control of the food in front of me. I guess i can have a light supper if i do get scuppered by a delicious spread of food

+2.75. Boo.
Could have been worse I guess

Miracle sts however need to exercise as really struggled on cals

Boo indeed sazz but I bet by Tom you will be down, it was a extraordinary weekend

Do you mean you're even loti? If so well done!

sazz I at your +2.75 with my +3.25 despite swerving lovely cafe cake yesterday aft Didn't swerve the gin though, but only had two as up early for DC's dental visit. Woke at 3.30am and didn't get back to sleep till after 5am so will need will of iron to keep away from carbs today

red sounds like you ahd a lovely time with your friends but you can keep your lemon drizzle, give me chocolate or coffee cake please...

Well done LOTI

Well, i have done ok today (i think!) Had 5 quarter sandwiches (1 egg, 2 salmon, 2 tuna) and some salad. Avoided the vegetable quiche and cakes so pretty good. Not actually had any dinner yet as have been working since i got in (in between putting kids to bed)

So, i think i will have some soup DH made - dhal type stuff and hopefully leave it there.

Going off to do my FF estimating to see what i have left to play with

Woo hoo, only 900 calories gone

Well done on the reigning in sazz

I am slighty over due to a

I have topped up with a G&(S)T. Still within calories though

Yay, not quite up up (or down!) to LOTI's level but down 2.25 so only 0.5 up on Friday. Limiting my being 'bad' to two evenings seems to have paid off.

Woo hoo sazz

I am down 0.5 hope it continues as its only Tuesday!

Woo hoo you guys that's brilliant

I am only down 1.25 so still a way to go to get to evens. Off to google low carb high fibre foods though...

Fjorny have u been following the boot camp thread? I think they have a recipe thread too that you could look at?

I am trying to control my carbs but don't think I could give them up completely lol

I have walked 6 miles today

Cracking sore throat and sore teeth courtesy of the hygienist is helping with the calorie intake!

Yay for the long walk LOTI, but boo for throat. I haven't found many illnesses which put me off my eating and drinking tbh!!

Have had very busy but pretty crap (please don't ask I am trying to forget it lol) day. Stayed well under calories I think, although had to guesstimate dh's cooking experiment for tea.

Made a vat of cabbage soup which is much better than the last so lunches/fill up snack sorted.

Hope you sourced your low carb stuff Fjorn. I have realised (well re-realised for about the 4th time ) that it is calories in v calories out for me and nothing else works. At least it means nothing is banned.

Only down 0.25 so still 0.25 up on Friday. However back under 11 (just) at 10.13.75.

Circuits today

Still no progress on my high fibre requirement but nonetheless am back to evens today "just" two more to lose to be back to my pre-Christmas weight - can I do it by Friday and start a new month with good news?????

sazz yay for being 10-something again hope your day is better and you enjoy circuits.

loti hope you are feeling better today?

I am definitely feeling a bit thinner, especially round my ribs, but tummy is still a disaster area. Need to do some toning I think and toying with the idea of a Feb challenge of some kind. Don't really have time can't be arsed to do the shred every day but maybe 100 sit ups a day or something similar. Got till Friday to decide anyway!

I'm up for a shred challenge. Maybe not every day though.....

2k run and 1hr circuits

Grapefruit for brekker, cabbage soup for lunch so far

I have stocked up on sugar-free toffee and also milled flaxseed. That should get things moving... Plus an hour's walk alt lunchtime, it's not circuits but better than nowt.

Work, scootered dds to and from school + another mile so that's 5 clocked up but food not been great
Hope things move pretty quick for you fjorny

Woo hoo for great exercise sazz

Fjorny - the cabbage soup is quite good for movement

Well done on the exercise LOTI

I have been madly busy again today so only managed to clock up 1,000 calories. Mind you, i expect i can manage to sort another 200 from somewhere before bedtime

Are u not using your exercise cals at all sazz? Maybe that's where I am going wrong or maybe just eating too much

Normally I do LOTI, but i got ensconced in work for 4hrs and hence didn't eat anything after my lunch soup. I wasn't hungry either. So, i've had a big dinner - casserole & rice and don't seem to need any more

TBH one day of being well under calories is sadly not going to make any massive difference and i have a catered lunch tomorrow so will make up for it then i'm sure!

Huzzah, -1.5 so 1.25 on the week to 10.12.25.

Really, really hope I have some control over lunch. However with no snacking and soup yea I should be ok.....
