Accomplished professional = make it up as I go along. Grin

Pinot · 16/01/2013 19:44

I love kids dinners too Blush :o

Fried egg butty is another sinfully delicious treat. Eggs in a non-stick pan and not too much butter on the bread - not that bad, in actual fact. YUM.

Hope you get it, Gerrof lovely

sassytheFIRST · 16/01/2013 19:47

Getorf - whoop!!!

CarriedAwayAnnie · 16/01/2013 19:51

I had 2 cheese toasted sandwiches and then raided the healthy snacks Blush

I'm still under - somehow Shock

nilbyname · 16/01/2013 19:58

carried what about beans on toast for you? I love a "kids" dinner sometimes.

getorf you are sounding very accomplished professionally, well done!

double I think we are all realising we can eat less and still feel full, enjoy your supper.

I am exhausted went to see le Mis last night (totes amaze) and then could not get to sleep. Need chocolate and gin...I might have 6 squares of chocolate....

nilbyname · 16/01/2013 19:59

Oh god, I phone is being a tit. Sorry

DoubleMum · 16/01/2013 20:00

nilby I've eaten it and I do feel full. Baby steps.

RandallPinkFloyd · 16/01/2013 20:00

Sounds very grand getorf, well done you!

Thank you for the nice comments, a little emotional I can't lie, you are lovely Thanks

And carried, pinot's advice is spot on. In your face stupid ex with your crappy days!

Lizzylou · 16/01/2013 20:00

Randall, you star!
Bet you feel fantastic, so you should Smile

Getorf, you are v v v good at your job aren't you? Well done you.

Have been spinning, had 2 funsize toblerones today Blush All accounted for.

I hate eggs, except v well cooked omelette. Am almost phobic about them. Scrambled and hardboiled make me retch.
Eggs and bananas are two foods I wish I could stomach, just can't.

nilbyname · 16/01/2013 20:00

I tell you what, fried cheese toasted with slivers of opinion, buyer on the outside of the bread to go all golden, I ate a lot if them when I was pregnant. I was channelling my inner elvis.

nilbyname · 16/01/2013 20:03

Wtf!? My last post is full of typos! Sorry.

Ahem, fried with butter, cheese toasties in the pan. Heaven. Obvs not now, lentils on quinoa for me

Pinot · 16/01/2013 20:04

slivers of opinion :o

juneybean · 16/01/2013 20:07

Kind of apt Grin

spamm · 16/01/2013 20:11

nilby Grin - that's a MN diet, slivers of opinion, instead of mounds of gobbyness!

CarriedAwayAnnie · 16/01/2013 20:13

Grin Randall!

Sod him, I will be slim!!

Lulabellarama · 16/01/2013 20:16

Amazing loss Randall, well done you.
I've gone back to measuring pasta and it doesn't look like much at all, but it is actually completely adequate. I just had a very spicy puttanesca sauce on wholemeal spaghetti and it was fluffin lush. Going to round of my day with a chocolate mousse, only 88calories, less than most diet yogurts.

WiseKneeHair · 16/01/2013 20:18

Well done getorf and spamm
carried I think you followed pinots advice and smacked it back Grin Well done for resisting the take out.
I'm 60 cals over, so need to exercise, but ate late because of bloody DH. He went to the gym, instead of being back in time to look after DS2&3 whilst I took DS1 to scouts. He forgets every fucking week. So dinner went on late. Grrr. I've now put a reminder in his phone so he never forgets again.

nilbyname · 16/01/2013 20:19

Ha! Yes I like that, I can see it now...

Yeah well I know Pom bears are not strictly an aperitif nibble, but if they are presented in the right bowl they will work at your dinner party, just my sliver of opinion.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 16/01/2013 20:19

Grin spamm

In fact Grin Chiefs on the way to foxes. You're all dead funny.

RandallPinkFloyd · 16/01/2013 20:44

Stop being nice now! (Don't really)

I think we're all doing fab. The support of you lot has definitely been a massive help.

IMO the main thing to remember is that if we cheat or try and get around things we aren't fooling anyone but ourselves.

The thing I'm most proud of in fact is that I've been totally honest with myself. Normally I'd persuade myself that the odd treat wouldn't matter or perhaps be tempted to starve myself before weighing or that kind of thing.

But because of all your beady eyes and because MFP slaps you round the face with the reality of what you're eating I haven't. I've logged every single thing I've eaten, I've not gone over once.

I know my weekend was a bit of a disaster and made me look a bit of a twat but I genuinely did get the whole weekend under my calorie goal which is 1400. It may not have been an example of dieting excellence but it mattered to me to log it all and not lie to myself.

I've left it the full week to weigh again, did it in normal clothes (just taking shoes off) and did it just before my tea both times as that's the most accurate time of day for weighing.

In all honestly I'd have been happy with 1lb off, the main thing I've got out of it so far is changing my mindset. It wasn't abut how much I'd lost it was about it being a true measurement iyswim.

Well, that's my thought for the day anyway!

WiseKneeHair · 16/01/2013 20:52

Randall not only are you a weight loss suprimo and able to hold your drink, but you are truly wise as well. Grin

HeyHeySaturday · 16/01/2013 20:54

Randall well done on the weight loss, really fantastic! Cider and hula hoops is the way forward non?

I totally agree about the mindset. I record every crumb and it does make me think "is this worth recording?" and the fact my diary is public helps Grin I also really think "am I really hungry or just bored/sad/greedy? Does my stomach really feel empty?" Then if I think I am truly hungry I eat an apple.

I know I won't always be strong but it's just a day at a time isn't it? Everyday that I don't stuff my fat face is a triumph for me.

I hope this thread will continue as a support and that we can all be nice to each other.

RandallPinkFloyd · 16/01/2013 20:55

I am indeed

I'm going out again on Saturday. I am NOT planning a repeat performance!

Lizzylou · 16/01/2013 20:57

Randall, that is very true re: logging and everyone being able to see what you've eaten etc. Well done you, you were not a twat at all at the weekend, far from it.

Lula, weighing pasta etc is such an eye opener. That is why I have the Oats so simple every morning, looks paltry compared to when I make porridge from scratch but does fill me up.

We're all doing v well, aren't we?? Even if losses aren't what we hoped, it's all about changing mindset etc I s'pose. And being afraid of everyone seeing what we've scoffed on MFP.

buzzybuzzybeeshoes · 16/01/2013 21:01

Am I too late to join? I've been doing mfp for a couple of days but still got Xmas crap in the house just to log my intake and see where I' m going wrong. Fucking TERRIFYING. No wonder I need to lose 3·5 stone just to not be overweight any more.

I'm Shrewvole on mod if anyone wants to add me. 5'7 and just under FIFTEEN BLOODY STONE weeps tears down fat chief cheeks
