I'm still here! Had a good day today and now I'm sitting on my hands to stop me snacking.

I'm 13.5 stone and want to be 11ish stones I think!

GeekLove · 18/01/2013 19:30

Had a hugely calorific but very tasty trip to the Chinese buffet last night. However only had two meals today as I didn't feel hungry. Made sure I had breakfast though. Did Zumba with the bully's and went out in the snow with ds2 on the sledge. Pushchairs aren't happening in the west midlands now!

AlexReidsLonelyBraincell · 18/01/2013 19:40

Hi Chiefs, I'm not great at updating myself on her but do read regularly.

I want carbs, it's the weather, I am craving big hefty portions of pure calorific stodge. Made do with beans on toast. Hmm
Being cold is making me constantly hungry.

On a positive note, I have been chocolate free for two weeks, I miss it, but one piece is never enough for me so I'm better to not have it at all. It's getting easier, I think.

WiseKneeHair · 18/01/2013 19:44

Do you think you expend more calories having sex in this weather? Can I leave my woolly socks on? Mmm, just wondering as I know DH is hoping to get lucky tonight and its not looking good for him at the moment.

karatekimmi · 18/01/2013 20:06

definitely leave your socks on,such a sexy look but think of all the heat you'll generate rubbing together! and the extra calories you'll burn off!Wink

gobbymare · 18/01/2013 20:11

You actually burn more calories when its cold according to the one show... since I heard that I too want to snack and I could I guess since I've got 500 calories left but I'm not hungry ugh !!

WiseKneeHair · 18/01/2013 20:11

I hadn't thought of the extra heat we would generate. Maybe it would be worth it then. Grin

GeekLove · 18/01/2013 20:21

Bully's? I meant boys! Still this weather does make me want more carbs especially since I am out for at least an hour a day.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 18/01/2013 20:30

Wise arf ... keeping on socks will burn more calories I'm sure

All I've done is shout at a collection of small boys today because they are excited about no school and snow and I am grumpy because of a lack of carbs and no school. I have been on a sledge though. I just want toast but Gin will just have to do without ice

karatekimmi · 18/01/2013 20:47

well according to gobbyif you have ice in your gin you'll burn more calories 'processing' it!!
< wonders at what temperature would the calorie count be zero>

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 18/01/2013 21:13

Erm. Wonder whether frozen peas will do?

hugoagogo · 18/01/2013 21:18

Right, I bought some linseeds (and some multiseed ryvita thins which are bloody lovely-who knew?)

Now what do I do with them? If I put them in porridge, do I have to crush 'em, do I have have to cook them? I know nothing. Confused

gobbymare · 18/01/2013 22:22

According to my dietician you burn more calories if you drink cold drinks because you need it to be at body temperature to process...don't know about ice tho.

Tonight I sm feeling like I want to just snack...im not hungry but I'm wondering if its my bodies way of telling me it needs more calories or is it just me & my bad habits returning?

juneybean · 19/01/2013 00:07

Tea do you not have snow?! have a gin slush!

karatekimmi · 19/01/2013 07:49

morning all

I'm sure a diet tip was eat ice cubes as it burns calories and they are free (Sounds a bit like Matt Lucus' fat fighters character?)

Ive lost 3 lb and i'm happy with that!! although slightly depressed to find I need to lose 26lb to be only overweight! oh well, keep putting one foot in front of the other, slow and steady wins the race!

Tabbykat · 19/01/2013 08:11

Major lapse yesterday with roast dinner Blush - it's too cold for salad at the moment! Still, wasn't as over my cals as I thought I'd be, which is something. Still feel really full, which isn't like me, so think maybe my stomach's shrinking a bit (hopeful emoticon)

Weather rubbish here so stuck at home with DCs, think we will be doing zumba or shred as they seem to quite enjoy bopping along. So hard not to eat carbs in this weather though!

laurenamium · 19/01/2013 08:54

Morning all! My plan today is to spend the whole afternoon sledging...hoping to burn lots of calories Grin

Have a happy Saturday everyone!

DoubleMum · 19/01/2013 09:00

Good morning from a white winter wonderland.
I've just had frozen grapes for my breakfast which is not quite the same as ice cubes but they're nice and it does stop you ramming them down your throat. Am doing roast chicken today but I'll have a baked sweet potato instead of roast potatoes.
Well done kimmi, great loss!

WiseKneeHair · 19/01/2013 09:13

Morning Chiefs.
I hate snow and don't want to go out in it --> miserable old git.
Wondering if I can persuade all three boys that they don't want to go sledging?
Not even the amount of calories it would expend is making it attractive.

Herecomesbod · 19/01/2013 09:51

Morning Chiefs! Just wondering if anyone's started to notice a difference in how their clothes feel yet? I keep hoping but am still in bloody awful nursing tops and jeans and it's doing my head in.

Maybe next week eh?

Am off to hellish soft play birthday party in a minute then sledging later. There must be a significant calories loss in there somewhere...

Hope your weekends are low-calorific.

DoubleMum · 19/01/2013 10:06

Wise I'm with you, hate snow and am v paranoid about walking on snow and ice anyway, as with my knee problems if I fall over I would probably be unable to get up. So far I have avoided it, luckily we live in a cul de sac and my DCs can go out on their own or with friends. Plus DH today! I did go and view the snowman yesterday, and a very handsome chap he was. Am hoping it's all gone by next weekend as it's DS's birthday party.

WiseKneeHair · 19/01/2013 10:16

Glad I'm not the only one double I fear I am not going to win on the sledging front. Maybe I can persuade DH to take them without me.
Here I don't know if I've noticed a difference, or whether its wishful thinking! I would usually say it takes about 1/2 stone loss for me to notice, so maybe I'm not quite there yet.

saintmerryweather · 19/01/2013 10:36

Ive weighed myself this morning and lost 6.5lbs since new years eve although if i want a roast ill have one and ill have roasty tatoes. when i get to a stone im buying myself some new dance shoes as a treat and when i get to 11st (depending on how i look by then ie no back fat!) i might enter my first ballroom competition. Keep up the good work chiefs!

DoubleMum · 19/01/2013 11:07

Well done saint!

RandallPinkFloyd · 19/01/2013 11:20
