The NO EXCUSES, Now or NEVER slimming thread

[Youcanringmybell]

This is a thread for those who are pig sick of over eating and binging and have decided enough is enough.

There will be no excuses on this thread...no 'oh but I was due my period' or 'oh but it was left over so I finished it' etc

IF you need to have a nice meal as part of a celebration DO IT but no more excuses - have the meal and move on.

This is a thread for the brave.....this is a thread for the serious. Join at your peril.....

Monday mornings are weigh in - so that we cannot binge on the weekends. I am deliberately being hard on myself and if you want to do it to please join. Even if someone wafts wine and banoffee pie under my nose I will not have it - even if the world is going to end I WILL NOT HAVE IT

weigh in Monday morning and post here

Oh and drink some wine and eat some choc while you still can because on Monday you will be in hell

Well done everybody!! I'm a bit late but I weighed in this morning at 14st 11.5lbs so thats a loss of 2.5lbs. I'm fine with that especially since I had 2 inset days with food and pudding and then had a pizza on Friday and some chocolate yesterday.

A sustainable, healthy weight loss is supposed to be 1-2lbs per week. Apparently if you lose it much faster than that long term you are more likely to put it all back on when you stop trying to lose weight. That doesn't stop me wanting a quick fix though.

I've had a really healthy day today so far, lots of fruit and veg. Got a healthy spag bol for dinner too, so should be good. I also bought the SW magazine yesterday so have some new recipes to try out this week (or maybe next week seeing as I've already done the shopping for this week) and have got some of the hairy bikers diet recipes to try as well but I copied them out of a friend's book

I've felt so happy all day today .

Had a banana sandwich for breakfast and chicken and salad leaves for lunch.

Not sure what to have for dinner. Might have a ww meal. Bought 3 from tesco to try.

Already walked about 6 miles today plus lots of trips up and down stairs carrying heavy bags/boxes at my local charity shop that I do voluntary work for a couple of times a week.

Will take dogs out after dinner.

Hope you are enjoying your holiday fatbottom.

Oops that should have been fatbottomed

Well done tort !! I am so cross for drinking too much booze at the weekend, we had two massive parties to go to and stupidly went to the pubon thurs and fri. Time for reevaluation about weekend boozing, I was totally on track for 4lbs.... Am cross with myself now!

Just got home from work and loved reading about everyone's successes. There is no stopping us all now!!! I'm back on my weekday regime of cereal, coffee, soup, main meal, which is really suiting me, both diet wise and money-wise. But still got a load of BASTARD beers in the fridge courtesy of my friend. I will have a can later when I'm watching telly as I have NO WORK to do at home tonight.

Well done all!

fermez I'd be more than happy to take a few of your bastard beers off your hands .

fermez I'm happy to takes some beers off your hands too. I saved one bottle of Budweiser for tonight. Boyfriend popped down last night for half hour and drank it! But at least no extra calories for me! I don't drink much so doesn't really bother me.

Pleeease take them away from me! There's some strongbow ciders too which I do not like... Very please to have knocked the weekday red wine on the head. I was drinking a bottle every night. Not goooood. Even if I have a bottle on fri and Sat, 2 bottles is better than seven sometimeseight-- :(

I am currently sitting in front of laptop at the moment racking my brains - my mum rang yesterday saying "someone" (she wouldn't say who) has sent me something (bday tomorrow) and that I must be in from 6pm to receive it. Who has sent somethnig?? What have they sent????

Oh God! My mum and lovely best friend have sent me a Tesco delivery and I REALLY need help with this lot. Shop consists of:
Grapes
Bombay Sapphire
Casillero Del Diablo Shiraz - my all time fave
Mushrooms
Steak, mushrooms, STILTON!!!!!! (Obviously to make myself a lovely Bday meal!)
Tonic water
Lemon
Melon
MASSIVE cake with Happy Bday on - will take that to school for everyone so safe on that one
Coffee

They are so, so lovely. :) Could someone just take the bastard stilton away please???

Well, if there's Strongbow going as well, I'll go with that (west country lass) and Tortoise can have the beer, how does that sound?

Fermez, how did you give up with week day wine? How exciting to have a mystery parcel, will you open it or save it for tomorrow?

Weighed first thing this morning and was pleased to have lost a pound. Haven't been seriously dieting this week, more of a change to my diet. I have managed to keep out of the goodie tin at work, eat a lot more fruit and veg and drink a lot more water. This week I am planning to cut down on the amount of carbs I eat - particularly bread. Sandwiches are my downfall, I can get through a large loaf in two days.

HaHa, too late I see. Wow, what a great surprise. Will be passing on the bastard stilton, don't like it.

Hello. Weighed this morning: lost 2 lb so now 12.11 . Well done everyone on your losses!

Tchiffely You're welcome to the cider (live in Somerset but don't like cider lol!)

fermez Can you take the stilton to school to with some crackers to share it before cake? (no nothing about stilton so no idea if this idea works!)

Know* not no! Need to engage brain before posting!

Tortoise howdy neighbour . Enjoy the stilton.

Hello All, need to settle down and read the thread as it is now huge. Unlike me :)

Weighed myself this morning and I have lost 6lb, still more to go but am feeling very encouraged.

Hope you are all doing well, ESP

Wow - ESP great loss!

Tortoise (whose loss was also impressive!!) I think the stilton on crackers is a brilliant idea - I cannot have it in the house!

Saving the gin and tonic for the weekend when my mum and mate come up to visit. They can suffer too!!!! :)

Wow Electric Fab loss

TSchiffely with the weekday wine I just stopped. And I will not start again. I was hating myself for wasting a fiver every day on the stuff and also hating waking up claggy-tongued and heavy-headed.

The ultimate sign for me though was about 2 months ago when my job reached unbearable point and I was finding a bottle wasn't enough. I would crave move and sometimes go out and get another bottle. Hence I'm the size I am now, because as well as this, the snacking/binge eating would begin. I will have a bottle on Friday and probs Saturday, so I've not given up for good, but to be honest I'm happy to be feeling so awake and healthy during the week!

I'm feeling snacky tonight. Had can of peaches and a yogurt drink but want more. Going to have to ignore the demons in my head.
