FjorGynAndHotWater · 27/09/2013 08:53

+1.5 on the week to 12 7.5

Am going to take it as a warning and NOT stuff my cake hole with cake this weekend, see if I can avoid another +7 on Monday and maybe lose some next week...

Sazz sorry to hear you are in a similar boat, even more surprising for you as you've been pretty good.

Loti yay!!! Someone lost some!!!

I am now pinning my hopes on a random VG inspired 4lb loss one day soon......

I am SURE you can come in at less than +7 on Monday Fjorn Grin

Nice steady work there LOTI Wink

SizzleSazz · 27/09/2013 21:16

1100 cals so far. Should probably go to bed now lol Grin

SizzleSazz · 28/09/2013 07:17

Evens Hmm

FjorGynAndHotWater · 28/09/2013 09:32

Oh poo Sazz actually do you need to... that's harsh to stick so low on a Friday and see no progress Sad

I'm up another 2 thanks to carrot cake, burger and wine Blush so just drinking tea for breakfast!

I am also +2 but only had one glass of wine and a small salad for tea wtfHmm been to gym this am and so unmotivated as feel v unfit. Did make myself with hard tho. Thinking I may need to start fasting Hmm

SizzleSazz · 28/09/2013 13:04

I had yoghurt for breakfast prawn noodle salad, nectarine and grapes for lunch and mushroom omelette for tea. 2 G&St 's and a bag of mini cheddars as a treat but within 1200.

Grr for you girls too Sad but well done for gym LOTI. I don't think fasting is the answer tbh and I'm not sure it worked for you before?

I'm currently on the treadmill - will manage 4k walk/run before Pilates. Also v unfit but I DO feel slimmer so trying to focus on that.

Friends over for dinner so will have 24 hrs off calorie counting but try not to go too mad.

luckoftheirish · 29/09/2013 07:46

0.5 down but felt it should be more as had a busy day no alcohol and not much to eat grrr... Need a new plan ladies!

SizzleSazz · 29/09/2013 09:08

I trialled the eat and drink all diet yesterday evening Grin

We actually had pretty healthy vege food so may not have been too bad other than the crisps

LOTI - what has worked in the past? I know for me that low carb and fasting don't, although cabbage soup seems to, as does ff with exercise

luckoftheirish · 29/09/2013 09:13

Not sure lol tried it all! Know I need to drink more water but other than eating naff all nothing really, and that's not working either! Need to do some research and look back on old thread and see if I can see a pattern!

Sounds like a lovely day Smile

SizzleSazz · 30/09/2013 06:52

+3

I was really pretty good yesterday with food, no alcohol and a 3 mobile walk so a bit peed off tbh. Hey ho, hope you ladies have fared better.

SizzleSazz · 30/09/2013 06:52

*mile. Even.

luckoftheirish · 30/09/2013 07:57

I will come and sit with you in the hacked off corner sazz Hmm

I looked through the whole thread yesterday and looks like I did alot more exercise. I am still mon-fri walking a minimum of 4 miles a day and gym every sat but its not making a difference this time around Hmm

SizzleSazz · 30/09/2013 14:51

I did more too LOTI but ate the extra cals if that makes sense. I have done 4 lots of exersazz this week and only had one evening 'off' so grates a bit.

SizzleSazz · 30/09/2013 21:36

1200 cals today. Hopefully will run tomorrow (or shred if rubbish weather)

Where are you Fjorn???? Did you manage less than +7 Wink

SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 07:26

-1 to 11.1.5

SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 07:28

Which is exactly the same as last mon. I have to say my mojo for going for a run is waning...... Sad

SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 07:29

And actually 0.75 higher than last tues...

luckoftheirish · 01/10/2013 07:34

Oh sazz Hmm at least you loss. I am still the same. Followed mfp to the letter yesterday, every mouthful that went into my mouth and walked 6 miles. Hmm

FjorGynAndHotWater · 01/10/2013 09:10

Hey guys, sorry been awol again, thankfully wasn't lying face down in a pile of cake...

Down to 12 9 this morning if I wobble carefully on the scales which is +1.5 on Friday. Didn't quite manage a +7 yesterday Grin Would really like to get to 12 5 by Friday which would get me back on the overall -1 per week trend. Fasting today then just need to lay off the biscuits tomorrow when not fasting.

Gutted for you two, don't know what to suggest, you are both working really hard it's not fair not to get the results just keep going a few more days and maybe you'll have a miraculous loss? Or maybe we all need to concentrate on inches and wobble rather than weight? My zero exercise for two years has left me ravaged Blush

OP posts:
SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 13:08

You are right re concentrating on inches/wobbliness. I do feel better for doing exercise after a lazy summer.

No run as had an emergency school run pickup to help a friend, although the weather turned grim so I'm not too upset!
Came home and did level one shred with weights - go me!!

luckoftheirish · 01/10/2013 14:02

Well done on the shred sazz Smile and fingers crossed for some good loss this week fjorny.

School striking today Hmm I have one at school and one at home so day not going brilliant. Have managed about 3.5 miles walking hoping another one with to-ing and fro-ing later!

SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 15:06

Quick level 3 shred before pickup Grin

SizzleSazz · 01/10/2013 21:26

Gah, only managed to eat 1000 cals today (and that's not taking into account the double shred calories). What to do - do I eat when I am not hungry or not? I can't believe i'm not actually hungry but can't really eat when I don't feel like it Confused

SizzleSazz · 02/10/2013 07:02

-2 thank fuck
