KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 15:38

Welcome edward and PooPoo thisis a greatthread and you'll be well looked after.

We particularly like to list naughty food.. but sometimes I foray into horrendous territory of deep fried proportions...

Bonkey are you getting some sort of pyramid bonus?

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 15:38

Welcome Edward glad you found us. :)

What are your aims/goals?
Are you going with MFP?

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 15:41

Maybe I should Grin

Its keeping me on track, I'm bored! If I can be positive for other people it rubs off for myself too...practise what you preach and all that Grin

KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 15:43

You can have another brazil nut and be happy Wink

Anyone tried BodyPump? - First class tonight!

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 15:45

Ta very much

BodyPump? Sounds brutal Confused .

I need to get my arse in gear and exercise! I'm very bad in that respect! Blush

Dh is starting to work evenings this week so I shall have to try and shred once ds is in bed!

KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 15:48

I think Body Pump may or may not be like the time I farted loudly during planks at another class...

EdwardorEricCantDecide · 20/08/2012 15:49

Aim to lose 3 stone and get back into size 10-12 by the end of October the year Smile
Am going to use mfp too (email is [email protected]) if u want to add.
Listing naughty food Shock sounds like my kind of place!
I've been to body pump years ago and found it too repetitive works wonders though!

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 15:51

Honesty is the best policy, I had a shocking few days last week. A days food is up there ^ , even I was a bit Shock at seeing it all written down Blush .

Grin @ farting during planks!

EdwardorEricCantDecide · 20/08/2012 15:52

ps the naughty food that got me in this mess is Mrs Tilly's Scottish butter tablet, I'm pretty certain they have slipping nicotine or something into it a it's truly addictive!

KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 15:53

I think Mrs Tilly is a Scottish heroin dealer... tablet is a gateway to trouble

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 15:54

Had too google......Shock

Vary glad I have not seen them for sale round here!

EdwardorEricCantDecide · 20/08/2012 15:55

Completely agree kato at the height of my addiction I was on 4 bars per day Shock
Nowadays I'm down to a bar on a Friday night (don't like alcohol)

KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 16:07

I'm the same with Lion Bars. Total blanket ban.

KatoPotato · 20/08/2012 16:51

Can somebody please tell Dominos not to call me 'Pizza Lover' and that I'd rather not know about their tempting twisted dough balls? oh but i do!

slothprincess · 20/08/2012 18:04

Thanks eighty and fluffy for your kind words about my poor kitty.

Kato, fantastic to have lost a whole stone. I am very impressed and still stunned by the existence of the munchy box

Welcome new losers :)

Well, motivational monday has not gone well for me this week. I didn't even bother weighing myself this morning. In fact, I think I'm going to take a few days off :( If I haven't returned by the weekend, send a search party with a huge net and a stun gun to fetch me back......

reastie · 20/08/2012 18:23

kato love the irony of it happening in body 'pump' although in my body pump class when I used to go it was so loud I don't think anyone would hear, and you could always look accusingly at the person next to you Wink . well done you on the stone.

Can someone please tell me, what is this munchy box you all speak of? Hmm

sloth take some time if you need to, you've had a great upset you need to get over, just make sure you're back or we'll be kicking you in here with our super toned legs Grin

Went to the gym this afternoon - feel so good when I've finished my work out - wish I didn't have to work so I could go there every day - think of how slim I'd be Wink . Have been also thinking alot about portion control and how much I eat compared to slim people - honestly this whole thread has been a revelation in how I'm approaching my thoughts to people who are slim and their eating habits differently. I think I must've been in denial or something about it. Enjoying my last 2 weeks of freedom then back to work for new school term - dreading it slightly as know I'll have less time to cook and worried I'll start eating too much again

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 18:27

For reasties attention !

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 18:28

sloth Everyone needs a break, enjoy it and come back when you are ready :)

reastie · 20/08/2012 18:31

Holy Moley bonkey Shock

MilkshakeMaker · 20/08/2012 21:07

Wow well done everyone who has lost today! I woke up over a hour late this morning so totally forgot to weigh myself, I've just had a look at the 1st of the threads to find my starting weight too, I'm hoping for something remarkable tomo, however every cloud has a silver lining so if it is shit at least I'll have a reason to work harder.

LollipopViolet · 20/08/2012 21:09

Weeeell, I had an OK day, did have some chocolate though.

Here's hoping half a stone gone is reached tomorrow. I'm curently packing my bag for college in the morning, have to get a bus at 8.10 which means leaving home at half 7 to get to the bus station! I'm so used to uni starting at 10, and always having a lift, but this centre is waaaaaay out of town.

I have a pretty notebook, and pens :) And I've bought my lunch ready too - bring on the trumpets accounting!

MrsPnut · 20/08/2012 21:18

Good luck LV, if you need to ask anything then feel free. I can answer the accounting questions pretty well but everything else you will have to take pot luck :o

Today has been good in parts, I ate pretty well during the day but am now drinking wine and eating peanuts.

BonkeyMollocks · 20/08/2012 21:19

MrsPnut Put down the peanuts! Grin

I'm eating a lemonade lolly Blush

In my defence i am baking hot, its helping Wink

sleepychunky · 20/08/2012 21:28

Hello everyone, I haven't had a chance to post for a day or so. Real life has taken over!
My mum took us (DH and DSs) out for lunch today - we went to a Harvester because it's the DCs absolute favourite place. I was pretty good but did have chips, even though they weren't really nice, but I really wanted them. I don't like having a big meal at lunchtime as then I always want to eat another big meal once the kids are in bed, but I stuck to just a little bit of leftover salad from last night and a couple of Jaffa cakes.
Back to my normal plan tomorrow. I did get a nice feeling earlier when I popped round to a neighbour whose rabbit we were looking after when they were on holiday and she said that I was looking really good. It appears that other people can see that i've lost weight, even if I can't! A good reason to keep motivated Smile
