Happy birthday NameChanger.

Well done to everyone who has lost weight.

Is anyone else going to treat themselves to something nice if they lose a certain amount of weight (I'm very shallow and I need incentive)

I've decided that if I get through a stone barrier so I am 153lb instead of my current 160.5lb I will treat myself to some extortionately expensive lovely perfume.

Then if I get down to 140lb, I can have something else

MaureenShit · 15/01/2013 19:36

Was boneless. I had to have rice as boys snarfed all the chicken.
Only a teeny bit.

GetOrf · 15/01/2013 19:38

Yes, I am hoping to lose 12 lbs by March because I am going to Le Gavroche. Grin

CarriedAwayAnnie · 15/01/2013 19:47

Grin @ GetOrf!

It's not me just being a greedy git.

DD has booked it for my birthday and she is paying.

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 15/01/2013 19:55

Sounds lovely.
Mind you, I'm such a yokel I had to google it to see what it was Blush

OOh Getorf, how fab. You've raised her well, good taste!

I am 5ft 9", I am weight. I do agree with Noddy. I put 1 stone on and can hide it fairly well, my shorter mates not so much. That said that is dangerous as you can get too complacent.

Tea, the one time I lost weight ( after DS2) and kept it off for a long period of time was doing the old Slimming World plan and I ate loads more than I usually do. I did run a lot as well. Low Carb/Dukan/VLCD all make my hair fall out.

Soo, I am reverting to bits of old SW and MFP to shift this 25lbs, and upping the exercise. But trying to get a bit of variety as I know I get bored and it all goes tits up.

DoubleMum · 15/01/2013 20:14

Lizzy I lost weight on SW too. Should have kept it up.

aJumpedUpPantryBoy · 15/01/2013 20:18

I'm 5'1" and ideally I'd like to be 9 and a half stone although at the moment I'd be thrilled with 10 and a half.
Looking at it longterm I'd be delighted if I could get to 10 and a half by the Summer.
The trouble is the older I get the harder it seems to shift the weight

Lizzylou · 15/01/2013 20:21

Did you do it before the "Extra Easy" thing came in Double?
I couldn't get my head round that at all. Liked my old "Red day/Green Day" plan.

Have prepped my quinoa salad for tomorrow and added it in, it is all coming in quite high, but I'll need some substance as I have spinning straight from work.

WiseKneeHair · 15/01/2013 20:23

I also lost on SW. I am keeping some of the healthy eating principles with the calorie counting and in this short period of time it is working. I did very little exercise when I lost with SW, so I am hoping the exercise will help me tone as well.
I'm 5'2" and a half and aiming for 9-91/2 stone. I can't imagine being any slimmer than that!

WiseKneeHair · 15/01/2013 20:24

lizzy I did it before and after extra easy. The problem I found with extra easy was that it was too easy to cheat.

MaureenShit · 15/01/2013 20:24

I'm 5.7.
Have been as big as 11.3 before. At Easter simmer through to dec was 10.2/3.
Promised self I wouldn't get over 10.7 again. So here I am

DoubleMum · 15/01/2013 20:25

Yes I was red day/ green day. Took a while to get my head round it but I can still remember lots.

GetOrf · 15/01/2013 20:28

I fluctuate wildly with weight, especially since I was ill. Went up to 12.3 which made me feel grim. My 'good' weight is 10 stone, so want to get just under that.

CarriedAwayAnnie · 15/01/2013 20:40

My weights all over the place.

I lost 3 stone on SW with no excercise in 2009.

Then put back on a stone and a half when pg/breastfeeding dd2 in 2010.

Lost two stone from summer to Dec with the stress of h leaving. Didn't plan it and didn't exercise. Only noticed when my jeans started falling down Blush

Found my appetite at Christmas and put on half a stone.

I've lost most of that with this week weights loss.

I'm hoping within the next couple of weeks to hit a certain weight and then I'll be the lightest I've been since the first time I fell pg in 2007 Shock

DoubleMum · 15/01/2013 21:09

A friend phoned tonight and said she'd seen me in the playground when she hadn't seen me for a while and it looked like I'd lost weight. Pretty ironic given that I haven't!

sassytheFIRST · 15/01/2013 21:39

I'm 5.7 and have been over 11st since dd1 was born ten years ago. Some of it is down to giant tits - I swear if i had a reduction Id lose half a stone overnight.

Want to be 10.6 ish. That would be about right I reckon.

RavenVonChaos · 15/01/2013 21:40

Getorf good luck for tomorrow. I have just finished season 5 of Mad Men - I loved it.

I have only just sat down after a long day at work, followed by the usual family gubbins - including delousing dd3 again. AAARGH. I was so hungry mid way through that I nearly went ape....those fat lice looked really tasty!

Anyway ate a friggin croissant at my meeting this morning so have had to re-jig days allowances.

Hoping for a calmer day tomorrow. Tandoori chicken, chapatti and raita for tea.

Every is positively slim compared to me, is any one else over 200lbs?

namechanger11111 · 15/01/2013 23:34

I am Juney you're not alone.

Feeling a bit bloated after my birthday blow out.

Lizzylou · 16/01/2013 07:04
