NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES thread Part 3

[CheckpointCharlie]

Ooooooohhhh, that's exciting, and a bit of an honour, I feel like the Leader!

[CheckpointCharlie]

sexy lady!!!!

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

I would be too embarrassed to have someone give me a fake tan, I did it once in one of those booths where it just squirts it at you so no one saw.

youcan is it tomorrow dh comes home? How exciting. Puts it in perspective how long we've been chatting to each other. Feels like ages since he went away. We've done well to stick at this.

Had some friends over and they left me with with profiteroles and mince pies. I have been so disciplined that I haven't eaten a single mince pie this year. Slightly worried if eat one it'll lead to them all more.

[TheHumancatapult]

You can bet it looks lovely

When dh home ?

Johnny how the mince pie advoidibg going impressed with strong will

[YoucanringmySleighBells]

Thanks everyone! johnny You are doing so well - but I think you should put yourself to thte test and have a mince pie if you really want one. It is about living a normal life! Skinny people have mince pies too at this time of year.

Husband is due home any time he can get aflight - fingers crossed it's before christmas...He has been gone about 3 months now and we are still going string.

Human - how are you?

[CheckpointCharlie]

Hi all! Am just about holding on to the weight loss I have already achieved and do believe that I have actually started to change my habits, have been given lots of Chocs and cakes but haven't eaten them yet!

Good luck for Christmas everyone, and let's not stress too much, we can all star again with a vengeance afterwards, but also let's not use Christmas as an excuse to slip back into old habits.

We are all significantly lighter and to use youcan's initial wisdom, we will never be that heavy again. So far so true.

Happy Christmas lovely pals!

[YoucanringmySleighBells]

Bloody hell CCC, even I don't remember most of the stuff I say !!

Too true. 2013 is going to be the year we all achieve our ideal weights. But for now, eat, drink and be merry. We have got the grip we so desperately needed. Well done everyone !

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

I resisted the mince pies because I realised that I didn't like the taste enough to get fat over! That said I ate 5 profiteroles for breakfast because I do like the taste of them (while dh and dds were eating weetabix and toast I was scoffing profiteroles from the packet in the fridge! The shame!)

I then had a lovely lunch at a relatives with a couple of glasses of wine. I am allowing myself four naughty days over the period as that's when we're visiting people or having them over and today was one of them. But actually it wasn't that bad.

Hope your hubby gets a flight youcan, you and the kids must be very excited.

Well done ccc for not eating everything in sight. Tomorrow is the big test for me, my food delivery comes and I'll have a house with crisps and nibbles.

Still got about 10 profiteroles downstairs, how wrong is it to have them for breakie again? (they're only 250 calories for 5 which is half of tiggy's breakfast cereal so a relatively 'healthy' option!)

[TheHumancatapult]

Youcan

Hope dh home now

I'm doing ok still sticking with it and planning my sale tatic for boxing day basically I'm going to head towards what j want and let everyone get our my way

Oh and I'm sporting a lovely air boot thingy on my foot a car ran over it and can't have plaster as I need be able check on it regularly visually as can't feel

But least boot take of and check weight on Monday

[YoucanringmySleighBells]

oh human

How on earth did that happen? Is it broken then? That's is awful news. Hope you are ok

Husband home later today - currently in Cyprus waiting fro next flight!

[TheHumancatapult]

Ooo is he home yet youcan

He did not see me and going Di fast he hit me before noticing me and gone up and over my foot and yup it's broken

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Omg! Human! That's awful, you must be in agony! Did you report the driver for dangerous driving? How could someone not see you in your chair? What an idiot! I am so angry for you.

Youcan, is dh back yet? I have a feeling you may be too busy to think of your old mumsnet pals so if I don't 'see' you again I hope you have a wonderful Xmas. X

[CheckpointCharlie]

human nightmare, how awful, what did the idiot who ran you over say???

youcan's DH is home!!!!!!!! There is a lovely thread about it going on in chat, I think he got in about four.

Am still holding on, went to a friends today for Christmas party and all there was was cheese, ham, bread and crisps. I had two small bits of bread and ham with a sliver of cheese. DH had four and now feels sick. I feel smug!!!!!

Again, human so upset for you, bit of a salacious question but can you sue them? Do you have to watch out for swelling?

[TheHumancatapult]

Checkpoint well done on avoidance

Johnny

Did you advoid the profiteroles ?

Foot wise if there is ever a silver lining it's the fact that I can't feel my foot is one . Yes police were called and surreal conversation over if broke it would hurt . Not when have no feeling anyway IB it but Dr took one look and said X-ray

Yup have airboat as I can't feel a plaster cast could rub and would never know

And that is fab news for youcan enjoy xxLol never has one DH been waited for to get home by so many ladies

[TheHumancatapult]

5lb of am hoping this will help me stay reasonable good over the next few days ( well only reasonable as it is Xmas . But I can see the 11 in my sight I will do this .

We can all do it even if hiccup over Xmas .

And on that note can I wish all you lovey fab ladies a happy Christmass the support on here is fantastic

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Well done on your weight loss human, that's amazing. I said a few weeks ago you'll be overtaking me soon and I was right! I lost 1.9 lb which I am delighted about. I am 166.9lb ie 11 st 12.9 lb. I have eaten lots of profiteroles but been moderate with other meals so my calorie intake hasn't been higher than 1500 on any day.

I hope your foot gets better quickly. I fractured a metatarsal over the summer and it's only in the last couple of weeks it's stopped hurting so I'm pleased you're not in pain, I hope you make a quick recovery.

Good news youcan! Had a quick look on the chat thread and I am so happy for you!

I hope everyone is doing well and enjoying the festive season. Thanks for all your great support, I hope you all have a wonderful xmas. Xxx

[TheHumancatapult]

Not there Johnny

Am 12.6 but am pleased compared to 6 months ago was 20 stone ANC yes I'm shopping in sales for me and it's nice to be able have a choice of where to shop and what to buy

Johnny think that's the thing we know better how to moderate ourselves and know that bad days not lead to bad months or years

[CheckpointCharlie]

Happy Christmas to all my friends on ths thread, ie everyone!
Wow, what an amazing thread youcan started, we have all benefitted so much and will continue to do so.

A very happy Christmas and a fab new year to everyone.

Lots of love.

[TheHumancatapult]

Hope everyone had a fab day yesterday

An queuing outside next and it's very odd knowing not only am I able fit in anybof the clothes more so am actually in normal sizes

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Thanks human we generally had a good day but poor dd2 is still a little run down about having various colds and bugs since October so she slept a lot. She's only just 2 so didn't really understand what was happening. Dd1 absolutely loved it.

Well done you for getting up early for the next sale. I can now fit into 12s from some of the more generous sized shops and have been buying from eBay, but if I get a chance I'll pop online later.

How's your foot human? When I injured mine it was still bruised and swollen after they took the second cast off 6 weeks later.

Hope everyone else had a good day. X

[TheHumancatapult]

Hope dd2 is feeling better soon but glad dd1 had fun

Foot does not look pretty when take the boot of to check . Of to fracture clinic today

Wow into a 12 well done . That is my goal to be wearing a 12 and looking good in it

Yup got some good stuff even ventured into new look and did not feel out of place . It is nice not to stand out size wise anymore . Though lol I'm very noticeable due to my chair

[Tortoise]

Hello all. I have been away from this thread far too long. I will be weighing myself on the 1st and taking it from there. Dreading seeing how much I weigh now.
Hope everyone had a good Christmas.

[TheHumancatapult]

Hi Tortoise

Hope you had a good Christmas

Yup think 1st be a restart for most people and always seems easier somehow previous after Xmas I found as an sick of the sugar /chocolate etc . Though previous years think i lasted week of two

[Tortoise]

Not a bad Christmas thanks. Lots of coughs and colds in the house though.

[CheckpointCharlie]

Hi everyone, am ill! At least it isnt the kids this time, DH doesn't cope very well and gets really cross when i am ill.

Hi tort nice to see you! human hope your foot is ok.

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Hello all, seasons greetings all. Glad you're back tortoise, 1st is a good time to start, like human said you should be so sick of sweet and rich food it'll make a nice change to eat healthily.

So how's everyone been food wise? I feel really greasy and fat and craving vegetables and salads (it won't last!) I have been more restrained than usual, i only had one really bad day, boxing day, when I ate so much I gave myself a stomach ache and I can't remember the last time I did that.

I am finding that when I have large lunches I don't want dinner so my body's definitely changing. Dh, who is naturally thin, is a bit like that too, so I'm hoping that my habits are becoming more like a thin person's. Obviously I still have nearly 2 stone to lose to get to a normal BMI but hopefully I can get there by the summer.

I will be weighing on Monday and starting diet again on Tuesday by throwing out any cake or naughty foods still in the house.

Poor checkpoint, hope dh is looking after you. Men are a bit crap when we're ill yet they expect us to look after them when they have the slightest sniffle.
