The NO EXCUSES, Now or NEVER slimming thread

999 replies

Youcanringmybell · 30/08/2012 16:08

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 Angry

Erm that should be 'already' Blush

outtolunchagain · 03/09/2012 10:28

Very pleased with myself , did the coffee run at work today and managed to resist the big tin of chocolate biscuits!

ElectricSoftParade · 03/09/2012 10:30

OK, have weighed myself and I am 14st 5lb.

This time next week I will not be 14st 5lb, I will be, at least, a few pounds lighter.

I haven't helped myself though. Had a huge Sunday lunch after which my lovely BIL took our DCs for the night. DH and I got very drunk and I am craving carbs, lots and lots of carbs. I will not eat them. I have had beans on one slice of toast and will not snack. I will not snack.

Best of luck everyone. WE CAN DO IT. Thanks

Count me in! I need to weigh myself somehow (scales are broken, might hook up the Wii and see if that works) but i KNOW that I am more than I should be. I need to sort it out so feel free to give me a kicking if I am wavering....

Thinking about the couch to 5km podcasts too....

Just weighed in and am slightly heavier than I thought. 12s2.5lbs. Hmm

Youcanringmybell · 03/09/2012 12:06

OK LISTEN UP DIETERS...

I am sensing some of you feeling a little sorry for yourselves, saying you feel hungry, not sure how you are going to get through it, craving certain foods. I am not getting at anyone in particular when I put this but

SUCK IT UP - OUR BODIES ARE PISSED AT US FOR TAKING THE DRUGS AWAY........I say BRING IT ON -

LET YOUR BODY GET PISSED you are in WITHDRAWAL
It is going to get WORSE before it gets BETTER

I am afraid to say it is mind of matter here ladies.

fgs PUT UP A FIGHT - FAT IS NOT GOING TO WIN HERE

Can I join? Weighed this morning am 11st 3. I just want to be back in a size 10.
Have set up a MFP and going to start using the hypnosis app again as it worked well for me last time.
Think the holidays have set me back a bit.

Youcanringmybell · 03/09/2012 12:55

mavis your post made me laugh. It read as though you had chopped the end off your finger and then eaten it! And it made you feel much better! Grin

Tschiffely · 03/09/2012 13:57

Desperate times call for desperate measures and last Friday I WAS DESPERATE. I could not fit into my work clothes, I could not afford to replace them (only trousers I could find that fit were £28, can't afford that). What I could afford was a waist trimmer, new from ebay £3.50. Arrived this morning and oh my word, it does what it says on the tin!!!

I've had a banana and an actimel thingy.
Had a drink of water and the hunger passed. I only drink water anyway, apart from the odd bottle of Budweiser!
Sat in the hairdressers right now while DD1 has a trim. My fat arse only just fits in the chair and I look massive and revolting!
Next time I will look different!

FuckityFuckFuck · 03/09/2012 14:34

Holy fuck almighty, I weigh 15.8st Shock

Fuck that for a game of soldiers! Full on healthy eating and exercise plan is now on

I have signed up for Mfp, and I've got a friend on facebook that has lost over 5 stone acting as my personal trainer.

BRING IT ON!!!!

Damn right I won't :o

That is officially the heaviest I will ever weigh

Wonder if I could convice DS to play nicely for half an hour so I can get on the exercise bike before I go to work Hmm

Schnarkle · 03/09/2012 16:13

11 stone 3 pounds. Myself and the scales had a staring competition this morning, it won. Not next week though Grin

2 boiled eggs this morning. Sliced roast pork leftovers and a tomato for lunch. Slice of toast at about 3:30. A homemade bunburger for dinner tonight. That is all I will eat today. Drinking loads of water too.

higgle · 03/09/2012 16:19

I want to join in too - 12 stone this morning, want to be a smidge under 9 stone. I was 13st 8 when I started dieting and have just lost the 4lb I put back on whilst on holiday, I WILL lose 1/2 stone a month to be where I want to be at the end of February 2013. I want to be size 10 again.

buggyRunner · 03/09/2012 17:15

good day today- hommous for lunch with carrots, nectarine apple and orange.

slice of toast with marmite and I'm done

ParaOlympicpark · 03/09/2012 17:21

Managed to avoid eating masses of sandwiches at work today, had tin of Baxters healthy soup, two triangle tuna sandwiches, loads of Vegas and a handful of cheese ball crisps. Just cracked open a tin of pineapple slices to stop my hands from shaking from all the tea I have drunk to stop me feeling hungry!
Planning vege curry with plain rice for tea. YUM!
Hurrah, I feel so motivated my lovely youcanringmybell and it's thanks to you! Thanks
schnarkle and stompy we are very similar so I will be keeping a close eye on how you two do!

ParaOlympicpark · 03/09/2012 17:22

Veges not Vegas, my school is brilliant but not quite as rock and roll as Vegas.
