Thought I'd be brave and start the new thread off!

Umm so added some of you before mfp made me feel like some weird stalker (you can only add 5 friends in 10 mins) but also read back the messages and realise some of you were not inviting all and sundry to add you as a friend - sorry bout that got a bit excited there - feel free to reject

ohmydarlin have accepted as the more people to nag me the merrier!

Will think about fruit, but it doesn't "do" it for me, not like chocolate or Pom bears. Or both together (lush btw!).

Breadsticks might work - or actually, I've got those Danish crisp breads that are like really hard mini half baguettes - must go check their calorie content.

ohmydarlin I thought your mfp name was smellylittleorange first I had to look again when it wouldn't let me add you!

cinnamon a fellow childminder here

Krisprolls not crispbreads.

And 51 calories for a little thing compared to 21 for a breadstick.

Breadsticks go on the list!

was thinking about changing my mumsnet name if I can work out how it will be smellylittleorange! Thanks for the adds all x

Cinammon ... I had more wine and some popcorn and then felt hungry. So, I had a packet of crisps and a packet of smarties. 600 calories over for the day. Not good!

However, I weighed in this morning and lost 2.5lb from my mid-week weight, and 1lb from last weeks weigh in. I'm on track today (just!) and have given myself the proverbial kick up the arse.

I'm 9 weeks in to the diet and have lost 16.5lb, so overall I'm delighted.

My problem is my sore hip, which is stopping me exercising.... If it's not better by the start of next week I think I'll take a trip to the GP.

All friend requests welcome I need people to motivate / nag / inspire me otherwise I will just fall back into old bad habits...

Craving sugary sweet things atm...

Loving the idea of smellylittleorange as a name

I'm back with a name change!

Vodka contains less calories than wine. It also gets you drinker faster as it's higher proof.

But... the associated mixers have more calories than the wine.

Moral? Get quietly blootered on neat vodka straight from the bottle

Drinker? Drunker!

I'm not on it!

at drinker!!
Nice name Smelly!

I can't resist the odd (ahem) bottle of Bulmers pear cider of an evening at the weekend. Sadly it is very calorific so I walk the poor dog for hours to earn it! May train myself onto neat vodka... hic!

Ooooo found you!! Bookmarking!! :o

Oh and Deli sticks are HERE. They come in different varieties too. Yummers!!

I have just downloaded this app after watching secret eaters and I was wanting to know about what I eat. I was shocked at what results came back.

I'm kailumsmum on it.

Oh anyone I've missed, please feel free to add me!

smelly!

The 2lb I put on has gone again. :o
Those deli sticks look nice!

Ooh I saw those deli sticks in the supermarket and thought they looked pretty yummy but didn't even bother looking at the cals as I assumed they would be about 250 each! Definitely buying them now!

They are really nice mackerel. They come in two different sizes - a pack of 4 smaller ones or a pack of 3 slightly thicker ones. I prefer the salami ones (or whatever it is) to the others. The ham ones are ok too but I did think the chicken ones were vile. The stuffing ones were also vile. Just IMO tho - each to their own and all that!

Bookmarking thread, welcome to newbies, am stokey2012 on mfp, do add me. It is great to know what you're eating, just realised 1 chocolate croissant= 4 slices of bread :(, and doesn't fill you up nearly as much.
Am finding exercise a bit tricky as have little baby and vaguely trying to instill sleep routine so trying only to take her out pram when she should be sleeping, trouble is i need to sleep too. Seems unfair that being up half the night doesn't help you lose weight! May invest in a wii fit.

4 slices of bread??! Wow that sucks! Just a shame the choc croissant takes better.

You should SO sleep when you can. Being über tired also hinders weight loss so make sure you can up on some zzzzz when you can.

Chocolate croissant is sooooooo much better than 4 slices of bread! Can't remember the last time I had one, do treat myself to a plain one for breakfast with jam (no butter) and a glass of juice. Would always have had 2 and finished the kids ones!!

Yay MonsterBookOfTysons, hopefully I'll join you in a day or two still stuck at 400g more than 5 days ago.

MFP newsfeed is down!!! Wwaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!

I will just have to post here instead that i lost 3 lbs this week!!

Yay! Well done RGPargy!!!

It's back now :)
