[MilkshakeMaker]

I shall be starting tomorrow and will post 1st thing my starting weight and if i can find my measuring tape my measurements too. Feel free to join in, add tips, abuse me if i'm not doing well and general support(I offer the same in return)

I dont have a certain time frame but i do have a wedding in august so would like to at least started be on my way by then...Hopefully!!

Furcough, I forgot to say earlier I am half way through Escaoe the Diet Trap and I reckon it's definitely worth reading, makes a lot of sense and dispels a lot of dieting myths.

Well according to MFP I still have 767 calories today. If I use those for wine and don't eat tomorrow I should be ok.

InMySpareTime you are forgetting your occasional frequent cake habit!

Ah yes, the cake habit. What can I have instead of cake?

Ooooh even after falling off the wagon, I've maintained :)

Right, gym tomorrow, and back on the healthy foods.

Mmm walkers baked crisps are lovely. Am having half a bag now and half a bag with lunch tomorrow

By the way. Welcome back Stealth. Glad you're still with us.

InMySpareTime you can still have cake. Weight watchers and stuff have pretty passable ones.

I just added the wine into MFP and I need to save 117 calories tomorrow to make up for it. That should be ok because the wine will be finished.

Thanks, so am I :)
Any chance you can work off the cals with exercise before wine?

We had celeriac 'chips' tonight... Another official Kato approved 'fake food' served with grilled pork and beetroot salad.

Now, what should I treat myself to tonight?? Mfp and fitbit say I've 545 calories left...

I had a mini chocolate chip tracker... Mmmmm

Why does MFP have a tracker for neck size?

Haha! Lord knows! I'm not counting on Gillian 'shredding' my neck!

So glad to have you back with us Stealth.

I need to look at mfp too or something like that. i have had only soup and ryvitas all day- .... and three glasses fo wine. I really do self sabotage.

Oh well.

Like the idea of cauli rice. :)

I'm going to become the spokeswoman for caulie rice and potato!! Will start sketching out my brand values later

Well it's not an official weigh in day today but I had to do it as I was so close yesterday and I am now officially in the 11st club!!

11st 13.5lbs

Yay. That's fab socks. Well done. :)

Cauli rice is brilliant. Aside from the fact that it makes me fart like a dray horse.

DH gets the look of fear every time I make it and mutters about putting breeze blocks on the duvet. It's all glamour and romance chez Cough.

I've slacked on MFP a bit now I know more about what foods fall into the good and bad camps. It does mean that eating half the butter icing off the remains of my son's birthday cake go unrecorded

Butbutbutbut... I'm packing to move house this week and I reckon I'm doing the equivalent of about three shreds a day by packing, clearing and looking after two small children at the same time. Right? right?

Well done on getting into the 11st club socks :) I hope I can join you this week!

On the subject of weight / size discrepancy Milkshake it's deffo a weird one. I can be 12 stone and a size 14, whereas my 11st friend is a big 16. I'm actually heavier than DH but you wouldn't know it by looking at us.

Congratulations socks!!

The size-weight thing is really wierd. I am currently a tight 14 - and 16 in some clothes. i am not that tall though, but I have a lovely slim friend who is only 2 inches taller than me and she is also a 14-16, yet she appears to be very lean. I think also it is how your body fat is distributed. I am a definite apple, so 14 tops are way too tight.

Today i am determined to not have any wine, as it just throws me off track. I am on soup and ryvitas all day.... I find it oddly filling, especially as i load my ryvitas with sliced salad veg. Dinner will be Vietnamese beef soup from the latest WW magazine. With rice noodles. Mmmmm. Have a spinning class too... I am a bit nervous- i took all of last week off as we had guests, and I am worried i am going to faint!

I have done Day 2 of the Shred Egg Level - working up to level 1, which isn't even on the horizon. Worst pain is in my thighs and underarms and I actually feel a fraction better for exercising.

Food focuc in annoying me so I'm off to look at My Fitness Pal.

Would a MFP user help me please? I am trying to enter my weight in stones and llbs and it looks like I am adding x stone and 1 pound instead of 10. Do I need to convert it to pounds?

MFP works in pounds egg

Anyone help me? I was weighing myself as 12 4 last week but the gym had me at 12 2... This morning I'm 12 2 on my scales... Can I make that 12 square or stick with 12 2? I only get weighed every 4 weeks at the gym?

I would stick to your home scales and forget the gym ones (sorry). That way you can have weekly consistency.

I finished the wine so I have to be extra good today.

Fair enough twoth makes sense... But on gym weigh ins am I still allowed to be well chuffed at extra 2lbs?

I did try on some stashed jeans this morning and they fasten flatter and made me happy... But too glitzy for day wear!!

Ooh you need to arrange a night out then Kato. Go dancing and drink vodka and cranberry all night. And wear skyscraper heels.

Yes you can be chuffed at the extra 2lbs in the gym.
