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.

So far so good - had 1100 cals today so here's hoping I will make it through the weekend in order toh ave a good weigh in for once - hope everyone else is doing well and those that have events on- ENJOY IT x

TheHumancatapult · 10/11/2012 14:48

Ekkkk I have a kitchen full of yummy food as Frid ds holding their wedding do at mine between house and marquee in garden( not posh just big garden and downstairs is open plan so more room for people ) but spent all day cooking etc and sat looking at it screaming eat me

Youcanringmybell · 10/11/2012 15:39

Oh Human - Don't tell me that cos I would just say 'go ahead and treat yourself'!! I am naughty..
I took children to garden centre and got them a cooked breakfast and got myself a filter coffee! TBH i have been feeling under the weather and felt too stressed to eat it out. Tonight is ww curry and sweetcorn. The one more day to get through before weigh in - i so hope it will be good [worried]

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 10/11/2012 16:28

Ooh human good luck, I wouldn't be able to cope with that. I constantly pick at food while I cook (but not any more!)

So far I'm having an ok weekend, have beef casserole in the oven and it smells amazing. Have been disciplined and thrown away cake and chocolates brought round by other people. I feel so guilty doing it but this weekend was about trying to start from scratch again as I thought I was picking up my old habits. Haven't managed to go swimming but dd1 sick last night so I feel too tired (and she has been very clingy and not wanted me to leave her with dh).

youcan you are very disciplined. I hope Monday's weigh in goes well.

Youcanringmybell · 10/11/2012 17:05

Sounds like you have everything under control Johnny - all will be well for Monday!! x

JohnnyDeppsfuturewife · 10/11/2012 18:00

Thanks youcan, I can't believe how disciplined I have been for the last 6 or 7 weeks. I am a bit frustrated at how hard it still is, I have to think about every mouthful I eat (or don't eat), I know that we want to make changes to our lifestyle but I had hoped by now that I would eat healthily on autopilot. Even if I lose another 25 lb will the rest of my life be like this? I suppose it will be worth it if I get there. If I go down to less than 80 kilos on Monday I will treat myself to a manicure. I think you should give yourself a treat too as you've had a rough few weeks and are still going.

Youcanringmybell · 10/11/2012 21:37

Johnny - I often feel the same way. It is a struggle everyday and I think, i the mark of having an eating disorder, rather than just being greedy. It does not com enaturally to me either. The impulse to binge on food even when I am not hungry is there...it does fufil and emotional need for many of us.

It will be a struggle but I am sure, eventually, we will learn to live with it. Next time, when we put on a few pounds, we will have the discipline to lose straight away!!

dancinginthemoonlight · 10/11/2012 22:20

Just catching up on the thread. The last fee weeks have been very busy here and I have seriously neglected my weight loss... Plan to weigh in on Mon and hardcore it! In the spirit of the finding out what people look like, I have put my pic on my profile for 24 hours :-)

TheHumancatapult · 11/11/2012 06:17

Was a really good night far to late to bed Grin but resisted the food [shines Halo ) and I don't drink so that was easy enough only thing I did do was had treat of couple glasses of diet Coke

Reward was looking at some of pictures on the camera and was surprised see I been caught unawares face on and no time to breath in and actually It was ok far better than I thought,I always cringe at pictures of myself first time in months and I really can see the differance asked them let me have a copy stop my mum complaint no photos of me

On the downside no workout yesterday ( was busy from 7am) and won't be any today only thing today is cleaning up And sorting kids out for school and resting >

I'm hoping scales kind to me tomorrow

Johnny it will come took me about 3 months but I think even when get there I will have ti weigh in weekly and adjust what I eat

Good luck Dancing and you can your doing really well but hope you ate feeling less sick z

Youcanringmybell · 11/11/2012 17:13

Goodluck dancing - always a good sign to get stuck in when the mood takes you to have a good week!!

Well done human - you are sooo focussed. Goosluck for the weigh in tomorrow.

If I haven't done well I will probably jack it in through sheer Angry

GOODLUCK EVERYONE

Goonatic · 11/11/2012 18:52

Hello all, dancing I can't get to your profile, sure I am the noisiest by far
I have eaten pizza........ Yes, last night we had some friends round and we all ae bloody pizza. Bollocks. I am soooo close to that 13 on the scales, I am going to put fat pictures of myself all over my house so that I don't cock p anymore..

TheHumancatapult · 11/11/2012 18:59

No workout today was bed 2am up at 6 and then day spent tidying house have mangersd some water today but my bed calling me very soon

dancinginthemoonlight · 11/11/2012 20:27

Goon- hopefully you should be able able to see my profile now. I tried (unsuccessfully) to do it from my phone... Im all set for going hardcore tomorrow and am enjoying my last wine :s

Mathsdidi · 11/11/2012 20:59

I can see you dancing. You look lovely.

I'm ready for hardcore this week too. I'm cutting out sugar completely from tomorrow morning because I'm sure it's a sugar addiction that's making me cock up so much. Well, that and being rather miserable and eating every time anything gets me down.

Youcanringmybell · 11/11/2012 21:06

Goon do not worry some pizza will not spoil alll your hard work. I find having a day off every now and then kicks your metabolism into touch again.

Can i have a little moan...you lot know me on here. I just seen pics on FB of remembrance ceremoney in Afghanistan and mu husband was at the ceremony. I really miss him, I was straining my eyes to see if I could see is face in the pics but too many people there. I miss him and sometimes have alittle panic about the 'distance' between us. I have been good today.But I am so looking forward to a glass of wine tomorrow after my job interview.

Mathsdidi · 11/11/2012 21:27

youcan that sounds really hard. Of course you miss him. Have a hug. And good luck with the job interview tomorrow, I'll be thinking of you.

dancinginthemoonlight · 11/11/2012 21:31

thank you Mathsdidi :). It was taken at my sisters hen do so had lots of help from my much more fashionable and adept sisters to make me presentable lol

FedUpOfRain · 11/11/2012 21:57

Hope your ok youcan that sounds really difficult! Good luck for your interview tomorrow, whats it for?

I have had a lovely weekend, had a little break from dieting but haven't been too bad. I am going to have a really good week, I want to push myself to lose a few pounds and get my motivation back. Going to set some proper goals I think, need something to work towards.

Hope everybody had a good weekend.

Tortoise · 11/11/2012 22:53

I've had a crap weekend.
DD1 has been a pain in the bum. She's got such a foul temper and i'm out of patience with her. She's only 9. Even little thing sends her off in a shouty tearful rage. Sad
My foot is feeling quite a bit better, Still painful in certain positions and had shooting pains in it earlier but i did cut half the lawn today! Other half was just too wet (very long garden!).

Also found mouse droppings on kitchen floor. Trap has not long gone off. Just checked it, the mouse is now dead! Wonder if there is more than one? Was actually quite cute. I used to have a pet mouse called marmite Grin.

Right, I will weigh in tomorrow how ever bad the results and this week i really need some harsh words and telling off if i mess up! Please go back to being hard on me. I need it! If i fail again, maybe i should look into hypnotherapy. Will try anything if it might help brake the pattern.

Tortoise · 11/11/2012 22:58

Youcan It must be so hard for you. Understandable you miss your DH. Sending (( hugs ))

TheHumancatapult · 12/11/2012 02:08

You can must be so hard and today a very poignant day for you both to .

Tortoise I dot have a 9 year old and she can be a pita but I'm wondering if she heading into PMT but without the periods flaming hormones

Good luck everyone with weighin

Goon did Yiu enjoy the pizza main thing and in moderation is the key

So weigh in time and I done it Loss this week 3 and 1/2lbs which happy with as been very light on workouts ( non existentdrone days. More importantly I now see a 13 on the scale only just but it is there Grin 3 weeks to my holiday so like to get further down in the 13's

TheHumancatapult · 12/11/2012 02:09

That's some not drone Blush

Youcanringmybell · 12/11/2012 07:12

Morning all and thank you for all your support for my moaning...Smile
Really nice to see you all on here!!

Human - well done a 13!!! That is absolutely incredible.

Well despite doing TWO fast days and ahving under 1200 cals all the other days of the week I have only lost 2.2 lbs. I am gutted tbh. I really tried and could have done no more. I do not have the strength to exercise as well.

However, logged onto Myfitness pal and running loss is now 13 pound so I hvae it all toa im for this week. I am having a day off today and then cracking on tomorrow in an effort to lose some more weight. Sad

Goodluck to everyone else!!!

TheHumancatapult · 12/11/2012 07:20

You can but over 5 weeks that's over 10lbs almost another stone taking You down towards that 11 stone as a first number

Youcanringmybell · 12/11/2012 07:51

Thank you human - I must exercise perspective!! However, am going to plan a couple of 5 miles walks this weeks if the weather holds up!! The only way to make some head way this week and feel like I am going to achieve my pre-christmas goal....I would love to be 12st for when my husband gets back in 5 weeks [eek]
