Glad to see the losses so far!

I'm taking my weight as of last Friday, as I know that my weekend will have affected things. Yesterday wasn't too bad a day, although we went out for a Thai meal and even though I made the best choices I could, some of the food was definitely too sweet.

Now that I've got this weekend out of the way, it's back to it.

There's also a very interesting article for you to read, about leptin, the hormone that controls hunger:

Ilovemyteddy - that's brilliant

[tartiflette]

Gosh yes I second the hangovers being ten times worse.
Hope you've all had good weekends. We've just had a toddler-friendly firework display in the garden which went down very well until the neighbours let off a massive rocket which sent both DTs shrieking back into the house in hysterics
Pretty sure I won't have lost this week so I'm going to enjoy a glass or two of wine tonight as my mum's staying.

Well done Teddy, what a fabulous feeling

[Viperidae]

Ilovemy teddy that's an amazing weightloss and quite inspiring to those of us with a long way to go. How long has that taken you?

I have had a horrid, hungry day which I am blaming on the carbs I cheated with yesterday in the aftermath of the sugarfree sweets debacle.

Today I have eaten -
B: None, felt icky so had hot water with lemon slice
L: Bacon, sausage, 2 eggs, creamed mushrooms
T: Mini-Tapas thingies. Chicken, green beans, roasted butternut squash (I know it's not bootcamp but it's lowish carb)

I am now so starving I'm craving something, I just can't decide what yet.

Well done ilove that is a fab loss

[MrsHerculePoirot]

Well done ilove - you have made me feel inspired to get back on track. For some reason I have been a shambles this week and was even more about it when willie named me as a big loser last week. I deffo have put on weight, but am going to weigh, log it on the spreadsheet and make sure that next week I go down and get under this blooming 16 stone mark. I think that would be a big motivator to keep going again...

Well done teddy

I am not drinking enough water atm. i need to focus on this this week.

[toomuchmonthatendofthemoney]

Well done ilove

I still feel a bit bleurgh today, wish whatever it is would just get on with it!
B 2 poached eggs on a slice of ham and watercress salad
L wasn't very hungry after later B so just had a few olives, couple of spoons of yoghurt and a slice of cheese
D bag of rocket salad (70g) and packet of mini chicken fillets from Tesco (en route. DH and Ds had MacDonald chips, the feckers, so I had to sit in a chip smelling car for an hour eating my salad)

Not looking forward to weigh in. I feel heavier this week than last and I keep remembering my cheat this week (bakewell cake). Otherwise I have stuck to bootcamp. Good luck everyone, hope its good news!!

Thanks willie!

Can I just boast that I went to Pizza Exress today and didn't eat any carbs. None. Not even a taste of the kids doughballs , DH's pizza, or Dd's tiramisu. Or the garlic bread that came with my yummy salad.

I dieting! Hear me roar!

[BIWI]

Blimey - will you shut up with all that roaring, Shagmund?

I have had a lovely dreadful last few days. Way, way too much booze, and far too many carbs. I'm going to have to be super, super strict over the next few days to even maintain my weight never mind lose any more.

But - I am gradually beginning to feel that this is me for the rest of my life - a really sustainable way of eating, with the occasional indulgence. And I can really manage that.

Being realistic, I only really want to lose half a stone more. And I know that losing it gradually, which is what I have been doing, is absolutely the best and most sustainable way to do it.

I have been up since 4am and drunk a ltr of water. might skip weighing in until tomo. Not really awake, sorry.

Have a good week and I hope all the bugs and nastyness that is bringing people down do one. Morning.

[BIWI]

Morning all!
