Off to WI shortly and am going to buy a 10 week countdown and you get 2 extra weeks free then really try and focus.

Would like to lose 12lbs by christmas which should nearly be achievable depending a very likely gain tonight (star week).

Are we doing the list tonight?

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 24/10/2012 18:26

I will do list later, having a pamper from 9.15 so if I have you all by then I'll put it up if not depending on pamper finish it will be late on or in the morning.

Don't be shy, send me your results and good luck [hgrin]

Huffpot · 24/10/2012 22:30

PM sent....

Well jealous of pamper session by the way!

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 24/10/2012 23:12

Thanks guys, will sort list in the morning whilst looking ultra busy at my desk.

Completely de-stressed, just had amazing full body massage and a tint and wax of the brows, far too drowsy to contemplate list so going to snuggle up and get some shut eye.

Night.

grimRiaper · 24/10/2012 23:14

sorry, one of those days...

been at a sixth form open evening tonight with DS1 (and had to take the small DC too as DH got some work short notice, plus I had to drive him there and collect him after the open eve as I needed the car to take DS1. The joys of living in the country!)

my parents drove my uncle to see his oncologist today (hence no babysitters), he starts a course of treatment tomorrow.

should be able to WI in the morning as I don't have such an early start.

enjoy the pamperingSmile

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 25/10/2012 09:16

Well done to the losers applauds wildly

Well I bought my countdown last night so am hoping that the wagon door is now firmly latched!

Am trying summon the energy for a walk after another terrible night with my toddlers. The three of us are tucked up in bed watching Shrek and hoping they drift off for a little nap and then will go for a walk this afternoon.

B: An thin omlette with mushrooms, peppers, onions and a little spag bol meat wrapped inside and a cuppa
L: Cous cous chicken salad(free)
D: Chicken curry with rice and veg
Snacks: Fruit, carrots, celery and probably an options later with sugar free marshmallows from sainsburys - I think they're 1 syn for 2

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 25/10/2012 12:34

Countdowns really do help, wish I had got another one a few weeks back then maybe I would have reached my next goal of 2 stone by now.

Having fitting for Bridesmaid dress on Saturday, going to ask re weight loss and dress as cant put loosing weight on hold till May!!!!

B- boiled egg, FFyougurt, grapes
L- pitta, ham, cucumber, spring onion, peppers, 70% less fat salad cream
D- eating out, though will be as good as I can be.

grimRiaper · 25/10/2012 14:27

sorry, not sure of total loss myself, but down is down.

well done allSmile

ChocolateZombiesmakemefat · 25/10/2012 19:27

Just eaten cheese allowance for the next month! Bad so bad [hsad]

kid · 25/10/2012 21:28

Cheese is good for your teeth and bones, think positively but maybe don't buy any more cheese for now?!

I really fancied some chocolate biscuits earlier, so I went and had a bath instead. I was also going to have some wine but as I'm not feeling well, I took some tablets and then I couldn't have wine (DH wouldn't let me even if I wanted to)

The weekend is looming, thats my danger time for snacking. Plus I have a week off work so again, the risk of eating my entire body weight in junk is a possibility. I just hope I can stay in control.

Huffpot · 26/10/2012 09:45

I'
m trying visualisation this week as recommended by a bloke at my meeting and focussing on the number I want

to lose so we'll see how that goes

Huffpot · 26/10/2012 09:52

Arsey phone posting it strangely

Ended up having home made burgers, wedges and salad for dinner last night mmm

Off to a playgroup after our late breakfast so a three mile round walk with the double buggy then home to make a SW curry for dinner so I can be good and avoid takeaway temptation after swimming tonight

B: Porridge, banana and cuppa
L: Maybe a jacket potato and beans
D: SW curry, rice and veg

FairhairedandFrustrated · 28/10/2012 00:28

Sorry for being AWOL, things have been busy @ home!

I gained half lb on Thursday night, totally unexpectedly, as I felt I had such a brilliant week. But I've kept going, hope it shows this week.

Have just been to a party @ my sisters and was so good! Nothing I shouldn't have had, no alcohol either :)

How is everyone doing?

Huffpot · 28/10/2012 08:26

Its very quiet here isn't it?

I've been very good but had toast and peanut butter last night and some biscuits as had a rotten headache all day and putting the toddlers to bed made it worse so lay down after and didn't have a proper dinner

I was hoping it'd eased today but its niggling again.

off to take pain killers then off to church - boys nursery forms came today so we have to make an appointment to get all the forms signed by the priest.

B: cheese on toast and a cuppa
L: A jacket potato with salad and some of those new sweet chilli baked beans
D: Maybe fish and chips but its uncertain with DP home as he's impossible to plan for

grimRiaper · 28/10/2012 09:31

morning all.

I had a 2lb loss on Thursday when I managed to WI, which was a total surprise. I have done a bit of walking over the last couple of days, although nothing like as major as last weekend, but there will be walking over half term as we're too skint to do anything else.

My Uncle seems to be doing well. We're going to my parents for yummy lunch today, which will be nice for everyone as the boys haven't really seen them this week, and we haven't had lunch with them for ages (hope it's Mum's stew). I have made pumpkin cheesecake to take.

Have a nice SundaySmile

kid · 28/10/2012 10:37

We took advantage of the hour gained and took the dog over the park. He makes me nervous as his recall isn't great, he'd much rather play with other dogs than listen to me. Everytime he headed off to another dog, I had to call him and run in the opposite direction. I did a lot of running so that's my exercise for the day.

I have to go shopping shortly so need to work out what to buy.

Hope everyone enjoys their day. I'm jealous of anyone going out to lunch, I get the pleasure of cooking for our visitors today. At least I'm not at work tomorrow.

FairhairedandFrustrated · 28/10/2012 11:30

I'm not out for lunch! Dh is working and ds has been up since 7.30 little shit

So I made them clean for their brunch Wink

Am heading to shower and get dressed and hit the shop for veg for dinner. Have a stuffed pork fillet there for dinner, no idea about lunch.

You know, we have do few weigh-ins left til Christmas, I am determined to make each and every one count!!!!

WHO'S WITH ME?

grimRiaper · 28/10/2012 11:53

me! A little lighter is better than any heavier. Can't believe it's christmas countdown time again and I am still a fat mess. Hmm[hblush]

SlimJimBra · 28/10/2012 15:17

Hi all,
Sorry kid we went out for lunch too! We went to chiquitos and ds had a burrito :o And please everyone stop going on about how close xmas is, I don't want to think about Xmas yet!

grimRiaper · 28/10/2012 16:51

I don't want to think about it either.

Lunch was roast pork, yum. Though shame it wasn't Mum's stew. The cheesecake was OK, though my Dads and DS1/2s faces when I told them (after eating) that it was pumpkin was worth a laugh!
