Honestly guys, Friday weigh ins are where it's at! Join me!

I'm so sorry about your Nana Little Miss Hope she and you all are okay!

Sundays are my disaster day! Spent it hungover and ended up inhaling a domino's... onwards and upwards for MM, body pump tonight!

slothprincess · 03/09/2012 12:45

Sorry about your Nana littlemiss. I admire you for drawing a line under yesterdays eating and throwing food away to avoid temptation. I find throwing food out really hard for some reason.

I'm with Kato on the friday weigh ins. It's the future!

InMySpareTime · 03/09/2012 13:08

I need to get back to any day weigh in, with PILs staying in the living room I haven't been able to turn the wii on all weekend. I'll weigh in tomorrow and probably Friday as well and hopefully will be down another couple of pounds.
Hair don't be disheartened, the weight will come off at some point, and TOTM usually messes up scales, due to water retention etc.

littlemissstan · 03/09/2012 13:10

Thanks all - she is doing ok considering, but my DM has some tough decisions to make now. I am spurring myself on by the fact she constantly tells me I have a fat arse in her no-nonsense Yorkshire fashion :)

Badvoc · 03/09/2012 13:12

Hello!
Well...most odd.
Am not losing loads of weight...and yet am losing inches!
Lost 4 inches from bust, 2 from thighs and 1 from waist...
Am low carbing but not too strictly.

StealthPolarBear · 03/09/2012 13:18

Where is Bonkey??

TheOneWithTheHair · 03/09/2012 13:45

Hope your nana feels better soon littlemiss.

Inches are good Badvoc. Are you exercising a lot because it could be fat loss but increased muscle mass.

reastie it could be lactic acid from muscle burn. If you keep up the exercise you'll be able to do more and more before it kicks in.

Don't know where Bonkey is but I'm sure I've seen her round the boards this weekend.

StealthPolarBear · 03/09/2012 14:34

diet off for today/ Am having a majot childcare stress with DS re-starting school. And now just found out my grandpa is in hospital hopefully he's anaemic, but the worry is COPD.

TheOneWithTheHair · 03/09/2012 16:12

Stealth I hope your grandad is ok and you sort out child care.

MM is working for me today for a change. I always get a chocolate craving about now but it's not too bad at the moment.

Badvoc · 03/09/2012 17:09

I am exercising more certainly, but not as much as I should!
Hope your pa is better soon stealth...

janflan · 03/09/2012 17:27

I weighed this morning and i have lost 2lbs. I have no idea how because it all went to pot on the weekend. We went down to west wales for the day Friday and i ate burger and chips for lunch and then chicken, bacon and bbq sauce & chips in the pub for tea! I did walk for 5 hours though. Saturday we went to the Dr Who Experience in Cardiff and ended up at an all you can eat chinese for lunch! So i'm very lucky to have lost that i was expecting the worst.

KatoPotato · 03/09/2012 17:31

Janflan this is how this thread works! We all have an inexplicable loss after eating chips and a 6lb gain after being virtuous and spin our arses off!

Enjoy your turn! High Five!

fivegomadindorset · 03/09/2012 17:40

Today has been a good day, feeling virtuous, within my points for WW including supper.

janflan · 03/09/2012 19:19

Oh well i'll like it here then.

LollipopViolet · 03/09/2012 21:09

2lbs on for me this morning.

Bum.

Gym tomorrow though, and hopefully that'll change by Friday :)

In other news, the wedding was amazing, and I took some lovely pictures that I'm editing now. There will also be one of me and DBoyfriend being posted too :)

TheOneWithTheHair · 03/09/2012 21:17

Glad you enjoyed it Lollipop. Can't wait to see the picture! :)

marriedinwhite · 03/09/2012 22:35

Oh stealth. Down 2lb since last week. Total loss 13lb. Feeling better. Have about another 10lb to go but have passed teh half way point.

Work been horrid for the last week and haven't really felt like eating.

InMySpareTime · 04/09/2012 06:17

Good morning everyoneSmile,
I managed to get through a "cake evening social" with my bible study group, I ate a fairy cake and a cookie. Stayed under cals tooSmile.
I looked on my work rota and couldn't find my Wednesday shift, asked the boss, who said "oh, you're back to just two days now it's September, I thought we discussed that". Er, no, if you discussed it, I was not there, I tend to notice things like which days I workAngry.
Luckily I am paid so very little we'll barely notice manage on a reduced wage, but I now have an extra day off a week. I may do my Pilates DVD again, or sort the garden out.

MrsPnut · 04/09/2012 07:56

Morning.

Stealth - I hope your Granddad is OK and you manage to sort out childcare.
Littlemiss - Best wishes for your Nana.

I spent yesterday running errands and enjoying my erection in the park. :o Food wise wasn't too bad and had a couple of glasses of wine after my meeting last night.
Today is the last day of the school holidays, and we will spend it finishing off clearing out the house and organising our selves for tomorrow. DD1 has announced that the shirts I have bought her don't fit (they are 2" bigger than last years) so I have to try to buy some more today and then subtly persuade her to reduce the amount she is eating.

TheOneWithTheHair · 04/09/2012 08:10

Morning all.

I'm off to Gullivers World today for the last day of the holidays. Lots of walking and not much sitting should offset the crap food.

Good luck today everyone.

PooPooOnMars · 04/09/2012 10:05

You lot were right! Weighed myself this morning and the 1lb i put back on is gone plus another 1lb!

(did have a big poo last night Grin)

reastie · 04/09/2012 10:28

Just checking in v quickly as back to work today. Means busy busy and struggling to go to the gym. Think this week will just be a no go for the gym as I have so much on and rely on family for childcare for DD, so in the holidays it's easier as they do'nt have her so much so they are happy to have her so I can go to the gym, now it's rush rush all the time and they aren't often able to have DD for gym trips.

stealth and littlemiss hope your Grandparents are OK

IMST well done on the restraint on the cake evening

poo living up to your nn there Wink

Well done to all the losers. I'm still the same weight [sigh] but only 4 lbs to go until the next stone bracket.

littlemissstan · 04/09/2012 11:00

I too have lost 1lb overnight! So that's good, just one more (still) to go to put me into the next stone bracket on Friday. Perhaps I should try your tactic Poo :)

Thank you all for your good wishes for my lovely Nana, she is doing a little better and has been able to speak to my DM which is good news.

DP has decided, after watching some programme about it at the weekend, to do the 5:2 fasting diet. I have a work trip abroad next week, but was thinking of joining him on it after that (so not possible when working away in the South of France!). Anyone tried it or have any thoughts??

BonkeyMollocks · 04/09/2012 15:06

Just marking my place because I lost you Blush

Will be back later.

TheOneWithTheHair · 04/09/2012 16:57

littlemissstan I have no idea what it even is so I can't help sorry.

Poo can I call you Mars instead?

Bonkey good to see you.
