NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES weight loss part 2

[Goldidi]

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.

maybe this is a good moment to admit that I have red hair too....

cookie

know you said stayed the same but thats acehivement to shows that your able to moderate

Ok so i gave up and was so fed up of dieting i fell off the wagon bigtime. But i know if i wanna be slim by xmas i need to get back on the diet. So here i am again. I just didn't seem to be losing any weight before :( don't know where i was going wrong :( well i'm back on the wagon now.

tiggy HUUUUUUGGGGG! Don't be down, be determined! I will hold your hand, as long as you pull me away from anything naughty!
Ooh ich how spooky, anyone who doesn't have red hair?! (youcan is blonde!)

aw thanks Human , i know ive been away and eaten out but still would have liked a loss this week!
i have boring dark brown hair im afraid, and its very grey unless i dye it very very regularly!

Tiggy your back that's a big step though

I am back - feeling frayed. My son is the DEVIL today what happened?? Seriously he just kicked his sister and is in his room.

I had the interview...four people sat in and two asked questions.

I answered questions a little brieflu but didn't want to ramble - a fine line I think. So I will hear by the end of the week.

I so had enough today but thank you for your concerns. Staff mentioned nothing and neither did I and they seemed very friendly so I hope they didn't see much at all.

THANKS EVERYONE - TOMMOROW IS A NEW DAY!!! XX

Nice one youcan. Probably one of those things that you can't stop thinking about but that the other people involved forgot around 10 nano-seconds after it happened...

Glad the interview went well anyway!

Hello all. Sorry I haven't managed to put a picture up, tried but couldn't work out how to do it with my iPad. Will try to get my laptop to do it tonight.

From the photos I've seen you all look very glam and not at all overweight. I agree human I had thought you would have short hair and you look so young (think I had thought no one could have four kids without their hair going grey with stress!)

Youcan I'm sure you did brilliantly, they probably respected you for being calm. My dd2 had a tantrum in a garden centre yesterday because we wouldn't buy her a Christmas tree decoration. It was a proper lay on floor banging fists and screaming one. I am so used to it I just laughed and took photos.

tiggy welcome back! what sort of dieting were you trying before? Was the problem that you couldn't stick to what you intended or that you did stick to it and still didn't lose?

It sounds like you handled that situation well youcan Sounds like the interview went well too!
Keep trying to be positive tiggy I know its hard, I was feeling rubbish about it all last week, the kick start I needed was looking at old photos of myself.
I have put my picture up (only for a little while) bit nervous...

for you all!!!

Sorry I am not being very supportive to to all of you tonight. Not quite 'with it?' - but have my wine. That will sort me out that's for sure .

I am full of motivation again. I was trying to calorie count with mfp then got lazy and stopped counting but still ate healthy. Then just stopped bothering. Thing is i just wasn't losing any weight. Over 3 weigh ins i stayed the same so lost motivation. I also don't eat too unhealthy but i like a slice of cake or a few biscuits with my tea. I can keep away from take aways etc. It's cheese and snacks that get me. Plus i do no excercise at all.

Hi tiggy, it's great that you're back and feeling motivated.

Have finally put two photos up. Think these are the only photos of me taken in the last 5 years, both 2008. It was a horrible photo taken in September this year that made me decide to lose weight. My face looks slimmer so I may stop hiding now when someone brings out a camera!

Lovely pictures - Johnny is going to be a lucky man!! Again - not seeing any overweightness....

Tiggy - it is fine to coast for a bit and stay the same. Chipping away at it is a good way..the effects are more permenant then. Well done!!

Thanks youcan, i can just about squeeze fit into those jeans again but because of my large tummy they don't look great. Hopefully by Xmas they'll be baggy on me.

Feeling very Christmassy at the moment, have nearly finished Xmas shopping on the internet, so my thoughts are increasingly turning to Christmas puddings! Must resist!

I weighed in this morning and am 15st 13 3/4. I was expecting a much worse result!
So today, i'm getting back on track.
I've re-installed the MFP app on my phone and i plan to make use of it!
Not had the best food choices so far today but haven't over eaten so far which is ok.
i think we are having chicken casserole for dinner tonight.

hmmm so yesterday was snack free! but today there was free lunch at work again....I just CANNOT not eat at these things....

I'm feeling extremely down and out about this and just trying not to let it turn into oh fuck it I might as well have chinese for dinner....

Join me ICB - I have been very bad yesterday and today!! WTF!! We are NOT doing ourselves any favours. Tomorrow I will be on a fast day. Then I will fast on Friday too and maybe Sunday. I feel disgusted with myself. It is very hard day after day.
I am so tired because my son is ill and i couldn't muster the strength. Tomorrow is another day though and I will slowly get to where I need to be...or I will die trying

Dd2(little bugger) said my boobs were 'low down' today...... :/
Have been reasonably good today, ate a few minstrels in the staff meeting but stuck to my guns apart from that!

Well done Goon - I have had the very same comment from my own lavely daughter.....Their time will come

Ha! Dd1 is four so she tells me I'm beautiful. I suspect one day I'll get comments about saggy boobs and I'll blame it on her breatstfeeding. Even at 3 she used to ask for it. Ha, that'll embarrass her when she's older.

Had two lunches out this week. Managed to choose healthy ish options and today left food on my plate! Still over my calorie limits so I need to be strict with myself for the rest of the week. I'm going to have hairy bikers lamb curry for the next two nights as it's the tastiest low cal recipe I have found and lamb feels like such a non diet food.

I've done ok today.
Dinner was chicken and leek pie. I only had a little of the pastry. And had a muller light yog for pud. Nothing since, which is amazing for me .
My DC say i have saggy boobs too! The more weight i lose the worse it will get. They will soon be back to spaniel ears like they were last year before i put all the extra weight on!

Wonder woman label defintley off past few days no excerscise bar one lot this week . Am tired full of cold and juggling 5 under 9 . Two with Sn of a evening ( neighbour in hospital so have her two after school till 7pm ) added to my 4 plus my niece

Only bright spot sticking to diet as feel to tired /lousy to eat but drinking diet coke but suspect not going be such a good week for me

Tortoise mine droppy but downside to big boobs wish bloody would go of there

Well fond on only a fed minstrels

Icb
