We've nearly grown out of the last thread here so i started the new one.

We're all doing different things but we're all here to support each other on the journey. We kick each other when we need it and offer sympathy when that's more appropriate.

rain Pringles are my absolute weakness, I can't have them in the house because I eat them, my poor kids live in a house with no snacks other than grapes because mummy's a pig.

human really struggling with water. Can usually manage 1.5l a day but I am going to toilet every half an hour, sometimes more. I am going to try to do 2l a day but I am so bored with it.

Thanks Human - I have had a good day today..Once I get to Wednesday I will be back into the swing. I do not think I have put much on - just very bloated. I am laying of carbs for a few days, doing a bit more exercise and I should still be down a pound next monday I hope.
I like your monthly targets instead of the weekly. Will take that into consideration!!!
fedup- No worries - we have all slipped up hun x

Tortoise · 14/10/2012 22:38

Expecting a bad result tomorrow. Sad
I do well for a few days then all goes down hill from there.
Also feeling low tonight and this leads to me reaching for food. Would really like a few bottles of bud but haven't got any!
Hoping i can do better next week! But that would be a miracle for me!

TheHumancatapult · 15/10/2012 01:13

Ok this is early even for me but can't get back to sleep so will probably chuck In a workout in hope that it tires me out so can sleep otherwise I may be rather tired later

Loss this week of 4lb . Which means made my monthly target already so will slacken of in the exercise a bit as anything now is bonus . But next few weeks going be dodgy as my youngest now come down with chicken poxs !! So he be of couple weeks then it's half term cake and chocolate may be needed to survive 3 weeks

TheHumancatapult · 15/10/2012 01:15

You can looking at weightless over a month is better as those bad days don't seem so bad then

Tortoise take it one day at a time and if have a bad meal or day then next day try again

It's not how many times you fall that matter in life it is how many you pick yourself up and try again

Goonatic · 15/10/2012 07:21

Oh bugger. 1lb on taking me to 14.6 I am not surprised though......
Need to get my head back in it, watch this space!

Well done human!

Youcanringmybell · 15/10/2012 07:22

Human - you are an inspiration! You MUST be feeling so good!! Well done - I really really mean that. You are so amazing!
You put me to shame and I am pulling my socks up now...

I did weigh...dammit I couldn't NOT....I have stayed the same
and I am amazed....it has given me the impetus to continue on for a good week because I feel bloated already.

I am still not well Sad Bad cold, sicky feeling, headache hasn't gone since Friday.

Thise who are struggling (like me) we HAVE TO GET BACK ON IT!!! WE cannot FAIL this time.It is a slow arduous process.

We KNEW this was going to be bloody HARD. But we CAN and ARE doing it a pound or ounce at a time.

dancinginthemoonlight · 15/10/2012 07:28

Not able to weigh until tomorrow morning as I'm at the in laws... Not expecting any loss as m in law is a feeder and loves treating us. plus I had a date night on sat with dh and had a three course meal and wine. Was or first date in 8 months tho as we don't have baby sitters at home :-(. We shall see!

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 15/10/2012 07:45

Hi all. After last weeks half pound loss this week I have managed a whopping 4lb which is my biggest loss since I started doing this (3 or 4 weeks ago).

My weight is now.....drumroll.... 191.9 lb which is .1lb less than 13 st!

Yay! I never want to be 13 st again.

Well done human and well done everyone else, even if your results aren't as good as you'd like it's amazing that you"re not giving up.

FedUpOfRain · 15/10/2012 08:30

Haven't lost anything this week which is a bit rubbish, but then I haven't been very good so can't really complain.

Well done to everyone else!

TheHumancatapult · 15/10/2012 08:55

Well done everyone

And you can glad you stayed the same

Dancing sometimes other things more important hope you enjoyed date night

Goon that 1lb could be just needing a dam good poo or could be water

tiggy114 · 15/10/2012 09:06

Stayed the same again! But i look thinner. I don't get it. I need some more scales i think!

TheHumancatapult · 15/10/2012 09:23

Tiggy

If you are toning up even just extra walking muscle weighs more than fat

ICBINEG · 15/10/2012 10:07

Morning all.

My morning weight in was 12st 5 which is 3lb loss. I wasn't expecting that because my MIL was round with chocolate, shortbread and cheese - although I did the evil and ate the snacks and skipped meals (now that IS naughty). Was pretty bloated last monday though so have averaged 2lb loss over last 2 weeks which is my target.

ICBINEG · 15/10/2012 10:15

Tiggy this is really about health not weight, we are just using weight as a rather poor proxy measurement of health. If you are losing inches and eating better then you WILL BE more healthy. At some point the scales will catch up and reflect that (although I would certainly say that new scales have helped me have more faith in my progress - but the quantitative easing that occurred when I switched scales was pretty painful).

cantmakecarrotcake · 15/10/2012 12:47

Hi folks. My attention to eating well has been much the same as my attention to this thread Blush

However, having had a week off at home with DH and a couple of nice lunches out I've managed to stay the same at 74kg. Back to work this week so hopefully I can get remotivated to give it another push.

Hope everyone's doing ok. Keep up the hard work - we all know we see results when we focus.

Tortoise · 15/10/2012 20:14

1.5lb gain Sad

Goonatic · 15/10/2012 20:43

Thanks human!!! Could well be!

Oh tort let's make a promise to eachother that we are not going to do that again?!

Goonatic · 15/10/2012 20:43

Ps have a look at my grim decoration on my profile to cheer you up!

dancinginthemoonlight · 15/10/2012 21:16

Goonatic- oh dear! My house needed and still nee s litres of white paint to cover the sins of the previous owners... I shall weigh in tomorrow am... Expecting a big gain but have bought healthy shopping this week

Goonatic · 15/10/2012 21:29

Don't stress dancing let's you me and human vow to do much better this week! I had a packet of kettle chips left over from a girls. Ightmare at the weekend and I ate them allllll today. I then had to go to work and felt sick all afternoon. Stupid, just stupid!

Goonatic · 15/10/2012 21:31

It wasn't a nightmare! It was a girls night, and it was fun!

I bought my first proper new house 'thing' at the weekend, a cerise pink lampshade from john Lewis, made me sooooo happy!

Youcanringmybell · 15/10/2012 21:51

Sounds lovely goon - yummy kettle chips. I may have a better week...I may not. I have a girls night in tomorrow night, amd my dd birthday and party over friday and saturday...plus I am lonely. I am really shit.

Don't worry Tort...have an unmumsnetty hug Thanks
There are worse things to get upset about!

Tortoise · 15/10/2012 23:08

I'm tired of finding healthy food, tired of struggling, tired of failing and quite frankly fed up with everything at the moment!
I want to curl up in a ball and snuggle my dog and sleep for a week! Sad

Youcanringmybell · 16/10/2012 06:57

Tortoise I think I felt like that for a couple of weeks now. But it will pass soon and you will get right back on it. Don't give up entirely. When losing lots of weight it is entirely normal to put a little back on some weeks and then have a bigger loss the next.
You will still go down in weight as long as, on the days were you are strong enough, you eat well.

But I know how hard the struggle is when you have an eating disorder. It is so hard to re-train yourself - if we ever truly do. I do not think I will ever find normal eating happening unconciously.
