NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES thread Part 3

[CheckpointCharlie]

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

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Meant to say thank you ladies for being here. I still haven't told anyone in real life about my diet so it's nice to be able 'talk' to someone. dh still not noticed weightloss of 24 lbs!

I will be very happy if I continue to lose 1 or 2lb a week so i think i'd like to be in the 10s by Easter.

[Tortoise]

Well, my first aim is to get back under 16st

[Tortoise]

Didn't have breakfast but for the first time in years I made boiled eggs for lunch. So, 2 boiled eggs and a banana for lunch.

Gammon cooking in slow cooker for dinner. Will be having veg and a couple of roast spuds with it.

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Hi tortoise

That's a good start. I love eggs and gammon. Did you find it easy to go without breakfast? 'they' always say you need breakfast or you might pig out at lunchtime but I don't mind being hungry anymore and don't really notice if I haven't had breakfast. If i've had a big days eating then I skip breakfast the next day and don't miss it.

Dinner tonight a slow cooked casserole. 100 ml wine, 2 bacon rashers, a spoonful of creme fraiche and chicken so should be yummy and not feel diety.

[TheHumancatapult]

See I can't skip breakfast have before kids wake up with coffee and enjoy every mouthful in peace :)

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

But human don't you live on 500 cals? I'm curious about what you eat for breakfast? I have one slice of toast with marmite or dairylea when I do (apart from last week when I had profiteroles three times last week, but still quite low calorie!)

I like going without breakfast so I can have an extra couple of hundred calories for another meal. I suspect dh hasn't noticed my diet because he sees me eating good evening meals.

Breakfast in peace, yes that would be good!

[TheHumancatapult]

I have 4 gluten free crisp breads and 30 grams of Philli on them which nowadays fills me up pretty well and only comes in at 125 calories . Plus water and my coffee

Then rest of my calories throughout the day made up normally of chicken or turkey friggibg repetitive but it's working . Once I make it to my goal I'll slowly increase my calories till I can work out best balance

[Tortoise]

Breakfast is my hardest meal to find so I think may be better to go without. Didn't bother me today but had chocolates late last night with dc!
Dinner was too big portion wise I think but bloody tasty!

[Stayingundertheduvet]

Hi, please can I join this thread. I was 12 stone and got down to 9.5 and felt great...but slowly the weight has crept back on and I have gone back up to 11 stone. I would love to lose a stone and drink less this year. I've also got into bad eating patterns with not eating until about 4 pm and think it has messed up my digestion (unsurprisingly!)...so lots to try to change this year!

[TheHumancatapult]

Tortoise

Think it's case of finding what works for you . I'm not hungry of an evening so eat more at lunch than dinner


Hi staying

Dive right in we're all doing own thing but the support here is fab . And it's about making life changes rather than quick fixes

[CheckpointCharlie]

Hi staying yep come and join us!

[FuckityFuckFuck]

Hello ladies :)

I was here at the very very start, shuffled off for a while but I am going to be back again for the new year. I did lose a stone and a half, stopped exercising but didnt put anything back on until the week before christmas but I am going to get rid of the other stone and a half that needs to go this year.

I will do the weigh in next week but can't start any actual dieting until my back sorts itself out and I can come off the various pills I'm on. I will fire up mfp again and I'm considering to couch to 5k as well, which will have the added benefit of strengthing my back (fingers crossed)

On the plus side, sooo many people have commented on what I have lost so far and I actually managed to raid my sisters wardrobe on christmas day - first time I've done that for about 10 years!

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Hello welcome. Well done for losing the weight last year, I'm sure you'll be able to do it again. I also have 1 1/2 to 2 st to lose.

Ooh human good tip! I have just ordered some crisp breads online to try as an alternative to toast. Sometimes I have oatcakes and hummus as a snack but it's nice to try something new. Hopefully dh and dds won't like them, I keep finding EMPTY packets of my oatcakes in the cupboard, so annoying.

I almost had a good day but couldn't quite resist the chocolates or biscuits still in the house.tomorrow's bin day so sadly I'll be chucking food away. Hate being so wasteful but I am really struggling with my willpower at the moment.

[JohnnyDeppsfuturewife]

Hello fuckity. Hope your back gets better soon.

[CheckpointCharlie]

Oh hurray fuckity is back! hope your back gets better soon!

[FuckityFuckFuck]

Is Youcan still really strict? Do you think I'll be put on the naughty step for disappearing?

[TheHumancatapult]

Hi fuckity

think we all been on naughty step including me . I have just over 2 stone to go ( have lost almost 8stone) but yes I admit it's a boost when people notice . But since I'm still hiding under my very big baggy coat it's not that noticeable yet
Am looking forward to whipping coat of when Warmer and few shocked faces


Johnny the DS gluten free ones are even crisper than normal ones

[ICBINEG]

lo all! A very happy new year!

Man there were times over xmas when I thought people were seriously trying to sabotage me losing weight! But I'm back in my own house following my own rules now.

So I have decided to skip right past how much I gained and say simply, I am 11 and a half stone now and I want to be 9 and a half stone.

So 2 stone to lose. I am aiming to do it by Easter!

[Tortoise]

All I've had today so far is a yog and strawberry cereal bar and 6 milky way celebration chocs.
Don't know what to have for dinner. Dc having pizza and chips.

Feeling down this afternoon and trying not to ruin it all by eating chips which I so want to scoff right now.

[Tortoise]

Had chicken flavoured savory rice for dinner. Wasn't very tasty but never mind!

[CheckpointCharlie]

Cool ich I want to do two aswell. I actually put a little cake thing in my mouth yesterday, chewed, the thought what the fuck am I doing, so spat it out in the bin!
My dd is poorly again, bronchitis, so as steroids and anti biopics, it is SO stressful and I really struggle to stay sane...... Have glass of wine and Barbie films on the sky box so hopefully tomorrow will be better. (although I won't be drinking wine in the day obv!)

[CheckpointCharlie]

Well donetort for resisting x

[Tortoise]

Didn't keep the resistance up for long. Had 2 Mr Kipling banoffee slices, 2 bananas mashed in milk and sugar.
And had some jelly beans .

[CheckpointCharlie]

Well today is done now. Don't stress about it. I ate some cheese, yes the bane of my life that is bloody CHEESE! At lunchtime.
Bad me. But I went shopping earlier and bought some cottage cheese earlier so am trying!

[Tortoise]

I'm not going to stress about it. Hadn't eaten much throughout the say so doubt I did too much damage. Tomorrow is a new day .
I have to prove to those who think I will fail that I will do this.
