16st 7

Evenin' All!

Just waiting for my dinner to finish cooking; WW meal for one! Had around 750 of my 1200 today (including my dinner) so just wondering whether I should raid the thorntons chocolate box .

Would normally have a glass of wine at this point but drying out over January . However, I am soooo looking forward to a night off the wagon on saturday with some old friends. Would it count if I saved calories today to account for the onslaught on liver that may happen on saturday night?

Thanks for the welcome

I can hardly walk - I did another spin class yesterday. My legs - crumbs, never touched those muscles before and I cycle sometimes 15 miles a go with dh and ds.

Thats it for the gym this week, next class is Monday.

Morning all , I am feeling a lot mire motivated this week , long May it last . It sounds like everyone is doing really well .
I do think mfp is helping keep me on track , it is scary how many cals are in some food that I would have just shovelled in before without thinking .

Morning, morning, feeling relieved this morning as our prison escaped closure yesterday, still vulnerable next year though.

Anyway enough about that, whatever I am doing seems to be working, not combining meat and carbs, still having both but not on the same plate. But it is the weekend coming up and I struggle at weekends. will find some room to sort out and crack on with that I think.

I struggle on the weekend as well , we are going out for a belated Christmas meal , I am going to have to live on fresh air for the day so I can eat it .

Good news about your prison dorset , I assume you work there ....

I am a big fat failure I've just weighed myself and I've put on 1 lb :(

I know it's my own fault for snacking on bad stuff but it wasn't as much as before and most of the snacks were fruit. I'm throwing all the crap out. I'm going to push myself harder at walking every morning, I'm going to do the shred everyday, I'm going to up my water from 2 glasses a day to 8, I'm definitely not having any wine on any week day and I'm going to cut my portions down.

I now have 7 weeks 'till Florida and it needs to start coming off! I know I can do it, I lost 1 and a half stone in 5 weeks when I did slimming world. This has been a kick up the bum.

Now I feel like I need a hug :( gets out the worlds smallest violin!

I lapsed yesterday evening when a piece of cake was necessary after dealing with DS1.

Prat. Talking failure is not allowed here. 1 measly lb is not a failure.

I'm kind of hoping Dorset isn't a resident in the prison.

I had a vivid dream last night where dd2 was having a strop and I drank an entire bottle of red wine and then felt ashamed of myself. Like that doesn't happen in real life often

Thanks, Taggie :)

The last week just felt SO long and I was desperate to see how I'd done. Stoopid scales. Praying for a loss next week!

Noilly , I did much the same last week , but the difference is that in the past that has been my point to give up where as this time I have given myself a kick and got back into it .

I am also not upping my exercise yet , I can't do both at the same time , I just can't imagine going from eating crap and never doing anything more than walking to school and back and suddenly doing the shred every day and eating salad . It is too much pressure . I have got the shred , but it is staying put until I have a week where I don't lose any weight .

It isn't easy but I reckon it has got be easier than being fat and miserable .

Boffin , one piece of cake is bugger all , at least it wasn't the whole thing

Noilly, a 1lb gain isn't so bad if you know you are eating too much: it means you are eating less than you would be if you weren't conscious of it, Without the fruit it might have been more, so look on it as a small victory and a step down from the 6lb/week so many of us put on over the christmas period! Onwards and upwards from today!

For myself, I have had a couple fo good days but am starting to show symptoms: having had wine/alcohol every day for the last 2 months and eating loads of bread (every day for the last 3 years!) then giving up both on Monday my body seems to be in shock today. I woke up with dyspepsia and a sore area on my tongue today, I now have a headache as well.
I know it will pass in a couple but i'm at work and I really feel rough. One positive is that I'm struggling to eat anything as my tongue is so sore, so perhaps it will speed up whatever detox is going on so I can get well quicker!

of days.
It will pass in a couple of days

You dream about wine taggie I dream about gardening zombies

Definitely work in the prison seeing as it is a male one

Noilly I put a pound on the first week, don't beat yourself up about it. I have started drinking water whenever I feel hungry which seems to be helping, somone on another thread suggested freezing grapes as they are like boiled sweets, so I am going to do some tonight to get me through tomorrow. Saturday is wine drinking night and Sunday is the day I can mix carbs and protein. I have lost 4lbs since my weigh in on Tuesday so very doable.

Oh and no bread.

Boffin so you lapse and put it behind you.

Good news and bad news here!

The good news is I weighed in this am as I was going to a funeral and lost 3lbs! Yey! So 4lbs off so far....

The bad news is I had 2 glasses of wine after the funeral and they had chicken pie and chips laid on. 'Twas delish but sooooo creamy. Plus I had a bread roll... Eek!

FIL arrived today so we've had fish n chips for dinner. It's kind of a tradition on a Friday with PILS. But double Eek!! I've been as honest as I can with my tracker and reckon I've had 54 points today. So my 31 allowance and 23 of my weeklies!

On the plus side, I won't be eating anything else today but I do need to be careful now as I am on chief entertaining Dad duty as DH is working all weekend!!

Not weigh in day till monday but I couldn't resist hoping on the scales. Since new years day I have lost 5lbs! Am really chuffed.

My aim is to get to goal by my birthday in April. For the first time I actually think I will do it!

There are lots of frustrating things in my life at the moment that I can't control, so I think I am starting to enjoy that what I put in my mouth is something I can control.

Morning all, had a good day yesterday until last night then the wine was opened I'm afraid, mind you it was oh so good. I'm sure that abstinence does make the heart grow fonder

Well done to those who have lost and keep going to those who haven't. Have a great weekend and stay strong!

Yay well done Shybairns, that's a great loss!

Dig I'm sure wine calories don't count on a Friday night

Thanks NoillyPrat.

Morning all, I also struggle at weekends, plan to keep myself busy and have planned food for today.

Can I also be a real grumpy pants and ask that we don't use that phrase (the eating and skinny one) as I find it really offensive and link it to anorexic and unhealthy websites. Sorry and all.

Ok, sorry. I didn't realise.

Sorry Noilly, that came out wrong, didn't mean to be rude.

I am hoping wine calories don't count on a Saturday night.

Study sorted and done, bags of rubbish for skip filled, and no food since brakfast which was porridge, so I am going to have some soup now.

Hello everyone , so far so good today but I am worried about tonight. I don't want to ruin the diet but I also don't want to ruin the evening by worrying and stressing about it .

Looks like everyone is still doing really well .
