School runs done and lovely 40 min walk tonight Smile oh a few sit up lol Grin

QueenofDreams · 24/04/2013 21:54

Hey guys, saw the thread in weight loss topic, so thought I'd pop in and say hi as I've got no idea where everyone chats now (if you do) hope you're all doing well.

SizzleSazz · 25/04/2013 08:23

Huzzah for being down Fjorny. Well done Smile

LOTI - walks sound lovely - am hoping to walk tomorrow morning.

Hey QoD, nice to see you pop by Smile. I think most aug 08's are on fb in some way so people catch up there. Are you joining us for some crap weightless support? Grin

Down 1.0 on last fri to 10.12.75 so happy with that. Richards birthday this weekend though......

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/04/2013 09:17

Hey QoD nice to see you!

sazz well done, I'm down a fraction so -1 on Friday too. I don't have a DH birthday to look forward to this weekend though...

loti you are really getting on with your exercise!

OP posts:
QueenofDreams · 25/04/2013 10:28

yeah I'll join you for weightloss! I've managed to lose just over one stone in the last 7 months, so not doing too great, but at least it's lower than it was. I can't get any serious exercise though because of my silly ligament damage issues, but I'm having physio for it now so I'll hopefully be able to start getting more active once that's resolved.

SizzleSazz · 25/04/2013 20:16

You're doing far better than any of us QoD Grin. Well done on over a stone, that's fab Smile

We are still officially weighing on Fridays and I have about 3/4 stone to shift asap.

QueenofDreams · 25/04/2013 21:45

haha, sazz I have about 3 stone to go so it'll take a while at this rate Grin

luckoftheirish · 26/04/2013 06:42

MorningSmile

Good things this week- have walked school run every day and managed gym at the weekend and two extra walks Smile

Bad things this week- I am addicted to mini eggs and have been scoffing them like they are going out of fashion BlushBlushBlush

Fingers crossed for good weigh in ladies xxx

FjorGynAndHotWater · 26/04/2013 07:14

Oh FFS I am back to evens on last week Angry Went to friend'e house after work yesterday for her and her DD's birthday, she always does a carby but nice beige buffet and because I was a bit late DH had got me a plateful. Too polite to leave the quiche/pizza/sausage roll (although did swerve cake Shock) so hoping it's carb bloating and not just my inability to bloody lose weight... Have managed not to feel utterly disheartened and scoff a pain au chocolat so far this morning so that's progress, right???

loti I love mini eggs too Grin but luckily there are none left at my house...

sazz good luck on your weigh Smile

QoD I have been losing/gaining/losing the same stone for the last three years with still 1.5 to 2 to go. Hope you are more successful Grin

LittleNutTree · 26/04/2013 07:21

Hello you lot! I saw this thread in active convos and can't believe this thread is still around, you're all doing really well to keep at it! I'm knackered just thinking of all your efforts Grin

QueenofDreams · 26/04/2013 10:40

fjor are you going low carb then? I'm trying to replace my refined carbs with healthier options. For example I'm currently scoffing a paleo pumpkin porridge instead of having toast! I'd actually like to do primal blueprint style eating, but DP gets in the way of that. He's quite set in his ways WRT diet. I think I lost the same 5lb several times for about a year before I actually started losing any weight. It was most frustrating.

luckoftheirish · 30/04/2013 08:08

Back in the game with an early morning walk Smile gym on sat and school runs yesterday Smile still too many mini eggs tho Blush

FjorGynAndHotWater · 30/04/2013 10:58

QoD yes I am trying to low-carb although seem to fall off the wagon into a vat of cake every weekend Blush

Hence the horrific weigh in yesterday, not much better today my target of 8lb off by 17 May is well and truly fucked...

loti step away from the eggs!!!!!

sazz how was the DH birthday weekend, boozy & cheesy????

LittleNut Tree hello! At least you have a good excuse for getting fatter Grin

luckoftheirish · 01/05/2013 07:29

50 mins sunshine walk this am Smile now getting organised for work Hmm

SizzleSazz · 01/05/2013 16:52

Ha ha Fjorn, no weigh in so far this week as out for lunch on Friday, Saturday and Sunday Shock. Not much better since tbh. i'm impressed by your perseverance with the scales!

Walked to school yesterday, so 2.5 miles and walked about 5 miles today which was nice. Foot still hurting and podiatrist out of ideas Hmm

HI LNT, we are still bumbling along with LOTI responsible for most of our 'efforts' Grin

Well done on the gym & walking LOTI - are you feeling any healthier/less poorly?

QoD - Paleo pumpkin porridge sounds grim interesting Grin

luckoftheirish · 02/05/2013 05:49

Morning all just getting ready for my morning walk SmileI love it so much when it's lovely and quiet, the sun is shining and a nice gossip with my friend Smile

Work again today and another friend up for walking tonight!

Sazz feeling much much better thank you Smile diet is still a bitt rubbish Blush but feel more tones from the walking and much prefer it to slacking away at the gym Smile

Hope yesterday was a better day fjorny Smile

Waves to qod and lnt Smile

FjorGynAndHotWater · 02/05/2013 08:48

loti I am rather Envy of your walk this morning, it's beautiful here today too but all I can see from my rubbish office is one small corner of blue sky Sad and those fecking lottery numbers keep refusing to match the ones on my ticket

Weight coming off but very very slowly, despite my being good. Still 1lb up on Friday, and with a birthday fuddle at work today the chances of getting rid of that are pretty slim...

Off out for fish & chips with MIL tomorrow teatime, then a weekend away with friends means that despite the lack of booze I will no doubt be crying on the scales again come Tuesday Blush

sazz what a bugger re your foot. I hope your podiatrist can refer you to someone a bit cleverer!

OP posts:
FjorGynAndHotWater · 02/05/2013 12:44

Swerving carbs so far but there are some yummy looking puddings to come...

OP posts:
luckoftheirish · 02/05/2013 20:38

Hope you contained to swerve the carbs fjorny Smile

Hour walk tonight and school runs done , legs are sore now Grin

SizzleSazz · 03/05/2013 06:57

Eek. Back to 11stone. No motivation this week so no surprise really. Hope you do better Fjorn Smile

FjorGynAndHotWater · 03/05/2013 10:49

I did mainly avoid carbs, OK had one small piece of chocolate cheesecake, and licked the bowl after making a cake for MIL's birthday but this in NO WAY explains the fucking two pounds I put on in 24 hours to make me +3 on the week

Today is going to be already a write off so lord knows what the weekend will do, need a new plan cos this sure isn't working...

Glad to hear I'm not the only one though sazz Grin
