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.

Don't worry everyone.
Whatever happens - we still have each other

Sometimes life gets in the way a bit. But I still stand by the fact that we have all changed mentally and physically since the thread started.

Lost a battle against my food nemesis Pringles today.

Had 3 bad days this week and it will be a miracle if I don't put on weight. I am really trying to be positive, you're right youcan I have changed so much and while I scoffed over half a tube of Pringles there's a time when I would have had a whole one and opened a second tube.

I will be good next week, I don't have any social activities planned until Saturday so I am going to try to have five days of soup and salad.

Go johnny

Go johnny and remember even putting some on you will be still lighter than before you joined this thread

Festival it does take up a lot of room . But their faces when saw it is worth it and I admi I love the run up to Xmas but my stuff starts coming down by the 26 th

Checkpiunt school dinners lets hope least adult sized

Icb

How are you doing ?

Busy weekend preparing for Xmas fair sat and then fair Sunday oh and packing as away today for 5 days to centre parcs but weighed in this morning 4lb loss

Which takes me to 13.3 but have pushed it as be spending so much time in costume on nhs choices that also takes me down into overweight . I can see that 100ln loss getting nearer and nearer so not decided about Xmas food yet

Am taking kitchen scales but whether I'll stick to it were see

Not sure how /when you ladies weigh

But I found get the lightest best weight is first thing in morning after been for a wee but before have anything to eat or drink surprising how much that cup of coffee can add

I'm very pleased with weight loss but there is no getting away from fact I'm overweight still at point where most people start thinking about dieting but hoping seeing all the skinny minnies and ghd yummy mummies parading round in their costumes will keep me on track . Not that be or yummy mummy about 4dc and 15 years to late for that . But I will be a slim mummy one day and wear shorts next year

Human bloody well done! But think how you have changed - you are now a 'normal' size. I know still overweight...but so very different from being the biggest person in the room all the time.

I havn't weighed. But unfortunately my son was up all night unwell and I had no strength to weigh and see a bad result. I will ignore today and carry on this week on 1000-1200 cals per day.

I need a nap - still don't know if I need to take son to doctors. I don't drive so need a taxi and £20 to get there! Am feeling stressed and want to resist treats.

Oh no! youcan what is it this time? We have thelittleone coughing again...... We need our own private nurse!

Well done human imam not posting my weigh in, I am NOT happy!!!!!!!!
I did eat a huge curry last night, I suspect when that wears off it will be ok.
Will I ever learn!?!?

Oh CCC - he has a temp and very angry throat. Some children have had tonsilitus in his class as well...he is surprisingly perky with medicine but I need some Ibuprofen for him so am going to accost people in the playground this morning when I take dd.

You lo is coughing again?? Any temp? This is a long long winter of bugs

Do you,want me to drop some medicine off? Can do if you like. X

Ps no temp yet but expect it will come.... Just need to get to Ikea before that happens!!!!

Oh no you can and checkpoint hope littles well soon and it's going around . DD has it to but on meds is fine so I packed calpol and prufoen with me

You can I agree sleep when you can and not worry about weigh in

But all of us are that much better even In mindset and choices are good more than bad most weeks

Hope all others are doing ok and hopefully still be here when start the after Xmas arghh I ate to much plan

And think we may need new thread but can't start it link on phone

Hi all,

Sorry of hear of high temps and up all nightness.

So after predicting doom I actually ended up down 3 lbs (scales may be lying to cheer me up). Now 34 lbs down 25 lbs to go.

So...I put the pictures up. Ignore the scifi blurred out face - my DH is paranoid that someone will cyber-stalk me...

ICB!!! Well done! Really big loss there

You look amazing - really slim!!!! Get off the thread !!

hmm I seem to be fluctuating a lot atm. I suppose that is okay as at least it is between losing not much and losing more rather than gaining and losing...

I am TOTALLY PARANOID that I will start packing the weight back on! Ever since I bought some new clothes (including the dress).

Also my brain is still totally confused about the (slight) deprivation thing...Every time I take cash out it starts yelling about how now we have money we can buy food! Like whooohooo we cracked it now lets gets some fecking calories.

dumbass brain.

Hi, thanks for your support everyone. Well miracle of miracles, I lost two lbs! it was my highest calorie week in the 10ish weeks since I started on mfp so I don't understand. There are weeks where I've been super good and lost nothing. I am suffering for it though, i feel crap/coldy and my skin and hair feel horrible, I haven't had any vegetables since about Thursday so I am going to try to use this week as a bit of a detox.

human I love Xmas too but dd2 is a bit destructive so i have put a tree up with one set of (turned off) lights as she broke so many baubles last year. I've bought and wrapped most of the presents too but but dd2 pulled all the name tags off so I've had to hide them. So sadly my house doesn't feel very xmasy. Well done for your amazing weight loss and for just being overweight! And you're nearly in the 12s too. Enjoy center parcs.

youcan will you be able to take a nap? Hope ds gets better.

checkpoint Sorry to hear that you didn't lose weight,. I hope this week is better. I am jealous of your ikea trip, I can't drive so have to go there on public transport which is a long journey. You'll burn off loads of calories wandering round ikea. Hope lo gets better.

icb what a lovely dress and you look amazing, even with the alien face.

I think our bodies and brains are going to try to sabotage our weight loss efforts forever!

Well i lost 2 pounds :D my new way of dieting seems to be working so far. I go to a group at the library on a monday and they have one of those machines which give you a full health check. So from now on i'm gonna weigh in on a monfay night. It said last week, i had 33% body fat which was a shock. So hopefully that will gradually reduce too.

Hey everyone,

i finally bought some scales and weighed myself this morning. I am 72.6kg/11 stones 6 pounds.

Tiggy my scales do body fat as well and while I know that that's probably not very reliable I thought it might be good to see that shrink. But I am at almost 33% as well, and it seems loads! What diet are you following?

Well done everyone on your weight loss!

Thanks for the advice on exercise as well. My gym offers classes so I might try those. I am especially interested in the Aqua jogging ones as that sounds great fun. It's just finding the time, when I get home at night I am hungry and tired and still have so much work to do (excuses excuses, I know).

I will try and take bananas and stuff to work so I can have some food on my way home.

I've started on the 5:2 where you eat normally for 5 days and only 500 cals on 2 days. Surprisingly easy. Plus lots of health benefits. Is there a new tgread started for us that i've missed?

ha! so I found a formula to convert from BMI to body fat and guess what?

Yes that's right I am 33% fat too :)

Well at least we are as they say...all in it together...

Oh jeez I am not doing my body fat....way to ruin your day ladies

I would like to officially annouce the presence of a HERO on this thread...I was out of all medicine for my poorly ds, not one of my friends helped me in my hour of need. I do not drive and the nearest shop is miles away.

CHECKPOINTCHARLIE went to the shops and bought me medicines and snacks for my son. She saved my sanity to day as I need a night's sleep tonight.

to CCC you have restored my faith in people. When the chips are down an MNNER will save the day. THANKS CCC xx

although now I will have holding out for a hero in my head all day grrrrrr.

Ahhhhh, love you youcan bless his little socks. Bet the jelly went before the satsuma! fingers crossed for a decent night.

Holy moly ich you are v sexy in that slinky dress!!!! DH was just about to make me cheese and crackers buti said NO, get me something healthy.

Hmm your dress pic has inspired me! I have a black sparkly jumpsuit, it is a size 18 but when I was a 16, last year, it was too tight so I will aim for that......

OOh sparkly jumpsuit?? Sounds lovely!! Can we have a pic when it is on please?

I think I will be off to doctors this morning with DS. His throat is awful and he won't eat. He never gets ill - hasnt been to the doctors for over 2 years and he is only 3 so he is doing pretty well. I shall ring and ask if they will see him...

So is everyone ready for christmas?? I think my husband is coming home on the 23/24 dec
I am getting a fake tan!! I want to feel body confident. Anyone else had a tan - I have never had one and need confidence to stand half NAKED with a stranger
