time for drastic action!!!! Join me if you are really fat!

[schneebly]

Okay I am going to be 100% honest on this - rules are

Post your height, weight and dress size
what you want to achieve
post everything you have eaten and drank every day if possible.
Also post details of any exercise taken.
When someone has been over indulgent we need to help support and remind them why they want to lose the weight.

anyone up for this?

I will start

I am 5ft 5" and weigh 16 stones
I am a size 20 (but try to squeeze into 18!)
I have never been skinny but would like to be able to buy clothes anywhere so get to size 14ish.
I will post details later of food and exercise taken.

Someone join me please?

sorry to but in, but i wouldnt do cc whilst she is ill, wait until she has recovered, poor thing, then you should be able to manage it better, and it shouldnt take long by what you were saying, before she became ill. Not that im an expert, but am mummy to 2 who never slept

I'd love to join you.

I'm 5ft 7"and a bit and today weigh 13 stone 7
Size 16 and disastrous bottom and thighs
I want to lose three stone and look good in the clothes that I have. And be a fitter and in better shape before trying for baby number 2.

I have joined the local gym, and have been twice a week for the past three weeks. And today is Day Two of the Food Doctor Diet for Life. Its really hard as the first week is quite restricted but after that its way more relaxed.

(We should get maltesers onn board as our mentor and advisor, she's trained in fitness things)

Thanks SP - I think you're right about waiting until she's better. It was so horrible last night that all I wanted to do was put her in bed with me.... so I did!

Welcome mazzystar! I'm still not feeling brave enough to post my details, so I'm just staying for the chat at the moment. Damn those hot cross buns (but I still can't make myself throw them away).

Doing really well so far today... marmite on brown toast for breakfast, snacking on fruit and cupasoup, brown roll and muller light yogurt for lunch.

A colleague passed round a bag of sweets though and I had two or three.

Evenings are my worst time. I just get the munchies and snack all night. Anyone got any tactics for getting rid of the evening munchies?

Does anyone know that statistic about how many calories you need to burn to lose 1lb of fat?

I'd really like to know!

i was 4blue1pink ( bit naff really)

munchies tactics - keep busy, knit or something!, drink lots of cups of herbal tea, chop up lots of crudites to nibble.....

if only l could stick to my own advice

Please can i join?
I am 5'6
I weigh 12 stone 9
And i'm a size (tight but have leant not to breathe when out ) 16
I am learning to swim, and am going to my induction at the gym tonight [scared]
Today i have eaten;
A cheese sandwich on white bread, packet of hula hoops and a chocolate bar
although i went shopping and bought all healthy snaks ie snak a jacks and ryvita, they remain untouched in the cupboard. What i need is a foot up my bum

@ Mazzystar

I work in the food industry doing product specifications and labels, so I know more about healthy diets than most! Just a shame I can't follow what I know about guideline daily amounts and fat intakes etc etc.

"Physician heal thyself" pmsl

1lb of fat contains about 4100 calories... I suppose you lose a certain amount of water too to start with but it explains why it's so damn hard to shift.

I am on the lardies ladies weight loss too need to shift my ass and go get weighed today.

I have lost 18lbs by doing this online with my fellow netters.

So last tuesday I weighed 12st 1lb
I am a size 18
Want to be about a 12-14 again
still need to loose another 2 stone

littlefish-i was oddoneout.
yes its a waste of time doing the controlled crying when they are ill, at this time dd just wants to be cuddled when she wakes up as she probably feels awful..bless her.
wait till shes 100% then start again, glad you were getting some success before she got ill.

you dont look a bit like i expected space - not surewhat i expected but you are not her! You look lovely btw!

eekk! youve checked me out on the mods page havent you??!!!
my hair is a lot longer now, i look like a right numpty in that pic, but it was the only half decent i had that was recent!
like your new name now notanotter.

good evening all - hope you are all feeling positive after a good day and if you didnt have a good one believe that tommorow will be better!

I was a good girl today (mostly!)

I have had a small bowl of cheerios with semi skimmed milk, two slices of toasted wholemeal bread with l/f spread and marmite, l/f yoghurt, grapes and a baked potato with beans.

not bad considering we were out at pub for mil's b'day! Everyone else was having fish and chips and choc fudge cake and i just had a baked potato!

I have drank 4 glasses of water, 1 can diet irn bru and one glass wine.

Not a great day nurtitionally but good calorie and fat wise. I am going on a long walk tommorow and plan to have porridge for breakfast and make some filling veggie soup! Best wishes for a good day tommorow!

thank you to all those who are joining in with this - i dont think i can do it on my own but feeling strong knowing that you are all there too!

good morning ladies! How are you all doing? I have just had breakfast - didnt fancy porridge but had a banana, some strawberries and a bit of brown toast, washed down with camomile and spiced apple tea. I am still feelimg positive and hope you are too - just think how nice it will be to feel healthy and look great in clothes! I am going for a walk today to get some exercise but I cant wait for our new leisure centre to open as we currently have no swimming pool - it opens soon and I will go loads, it has a creche for when I want to go without the kids!

Morning Schneebly and everyone
Did OK yesterday until I went to the docs and had a bit of a bad time of it. Bought myself a Mars Bar and a packet of Rolos on the way out and scoffed the lot. As usual I felt crap about myself afterwards.
I have been trying to come off AD's recently but my GP has put my dose back up as I told her my binging is getting worse and she (rightly) thinks it's connected to my depression.
Was fine when I got home though, pasta in tomato sauce for tea and no more rubbish, although I did have a glass of wine.
Feeling a lot more positive today, had a good start with a small bowl of cheerios with ss milk and a banana. Soup, fruit and a mullerlight yogurt for lunch. No chocolate today and all the wine has gone now and I'm not buying any more for a few days. I am determined to crack this.

Good luck to all of you.

hi cath - dont worry about yesterday, you sound so much like me! I was on the bingeing thread too! You didnt eat anything else bad last night and i am glad you are feeling positive today! We can crack this!

I've got a day without dd. Always a danger for me as I'm alone in the house with all the food! I think I'll go and have a shower and go out, in an effort to remove temptation. The trouble is that I then transfer to retail therapy!

Morning all - Shneebly and TangerineCath, I was on the binging thread too

Wow so many of us in the same boat, this shouldn't make me :) I know but it's sooooo good to know that I'm not the only one.

I know exactly what you mean tangerinecath! Littlefish - distraction is good - I am just about to head out for a walk with ds's and then visit my grannies. Why dont you use your retail therapy to buy something little in a size too small as an incentive!? Will talk again later - guess what - DH is on radio 2 Steve Wright's big quiz this afternoon!

Okay ladies give me an exciting idea about what to put on my delicious ryvita i'm not having a sandwich i'm going for healthy

low fat cream cheese and cucumber - yum

ham and mustard is nice too but can be a bit dry

cottage cheese with pineapple

making myself hungry now

I don't like cottage cheese but have low fat phil and salad stuff so i think i will give that a go thanks

I don't like cottage cheese but have low fat phil and salad stuff so i think i will give that a go thanks

Hi all great start to day for me to, had porridge for brekie, then asda for shopping managed to resist the french stick that i love, lunch was, 2 slices ww bread, humous and salad, with a minestone, slim a soup

But to be honest i feel like eating my way through entire contents of fridge and cupboards, as i bumped into someone today who cuts my ex mil hair, and she said she had been into hairdresser with ex dp new girlfriend, who is tall, nice figure, long blonde hair, etc, so i feel totally rock bottom again, and coyuld eat everything, although you would think that it wouldnt because hearing that she is slim should make me want to lose weight...........

And all the easter eggs that are around dont help, wish people would stop buying them,
