Ok, I have conducted an experiment and in the interest of faecal scientific fact I can disclose that my beast of a dressing gown weighs in at a hefty 2.2lb Shock

I can therefore conclude that either you lot shit house bricks or I have very small bowels.

RandallPinkFloyd · 23/04/2013 13:49

Awesome x-post there Lizzy,soz about that Grin

Lizzylou · 23/04/2013 14:00

Envy Randall!!
Green face is not for envy in this instance!

DoubleMum · 23/04/2013 14:30

Randall you've really messed up our scientific enquiries now we have a poo weighing minus figures.

DoubleMum · 23/04/2013 14:30

Apologies for the continued use of the word 'poo' if you are eating lunch or have a poorly tummy.

Shall need to go, I'm getting v strange looks from my colleagues, probably due to the tears of laughter running down my face. You've made my day - you're all fab!!

RandallPinkFloyd · 23/04/2013 15:09

I know, I'm more than a little confused I can't lie!

I could have sworn it was a 2lb difference, maybe it was 3? Tbh I was too traumatised to look closely, I lept of the scales like I'd been stung!

If it was really 3lb then that would prove the studies thus far. If it was 2lb I think I may need to call a doctor.

Lizzylou · 23/04/2013 18:33

No poo weighing here but have managed a run, tentative but done.
When I used to go to slimming world there were always women taking off jewellery or coming back from the loo and asking to be weighed again Grin

BsshBossh · 23/04/2013 19:43

LOL. Unfortunately I am not a consistent pooer so I can't always weigh after a morning poo Sad Grin. We need to put "poo" in the title of the next Chiefs thread!

Lizzylou · 23/04/2013 19:50

Bssh, good to know I am not the only one with erratic bowels!
I think I am the only person to travel in India and Peru and be constipated! People lost so much weight on both trips, me with bowels of steel? Nada. Dh had been planning on proposing at the Taj Mahal. He was so ill it didn't happen until we got home Grin

RandallPinkFloyd · 23/04/2013 19:52

Oh I always have a morning poo, 'twould feel all wrong going out all backed up.

I forgot to say actually, I went on my very first spa day yesterday. I really wasn't looking forward to it but it was actually fun. They gym wasn't too bad (I only went on the treadmill and bike everything else scared me), the pool was lovely, and the changing rooms were perfectly clean Smile

I even braved the sauna and steam rooms. I was terrified of them but they had glass doors so as long as I sat facing the door I was ok. Plus it was really quiet so we could use the jacuzzi (love them but bathing with strangers I will not do), lovely day all round.

We went for lunch afterwards but I had a veggie pasta thing and left the garlic bread, I feel like I'm growing!

BambieO · 23/04/2013 19:54

Bssh my strength training looks pretty similar to yours!

Tiger I would steal some of Bssh's moves :) she is much more of a pro than I am!

DoubleMum · 23/04/2013 20:39

Lizzy you've brought back memories now....I couldn't eat a curry for at least a year after I got back from India, it went straight through me, I might as well have just thrown it down the toilet. What lovely topics, I hope you're not all eating your dinner now.
Randall hark at you with your spa treatments and your jacuzzi. Soon you'll be too posh to discuss poo with us Chiefs Who Aren't Too Posh to Poo. And Weigh It Too. (Well not actually weigh the poo, that really would be revolting.)

OP posts:
RandallPinkFloyd · 23/04/2013 20:59

I know, I did feel rather grand!

Tell you what though, 3 months ago no way would I have gone. All that wandering around in your cossie? Not a chance!

I didn't breathe out the whole times Iwas there but I didn't feel like a complete whale so a massive thank you to the chiefs is in order Grin

DoubleMum · 23/04/2013 21:15

I won't go to Wet n Wild for the same reason. Not that I'm in Florida very often, obviously.

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 23/04/2013 21:16

Yes Double, you and every other bugger on my trip!!
Randall, I have only ever had one spa day and I was very post natal and breastfeeding so couldn't have most of the treatments and my tits were leaking bad style.
I do have a spa weekend to look forward to with my old student mates. Am a bit overexcited tbh. Will not be lactating so that's good.

RandallPinkFloyd · 23/04/2013 21:34

Oh I didn't have any treatments, I'm not that brave!

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 23/04/2013 22:39

Arf. You are all very funny. And Double I feel a new thread title in there somewhere.

Whoop Randall at stalking around the spa in a cossie. I know what you mean about treatments though my reluctance to partake is more of a consequence of me managing risk and considering others' wellbeing. I can't bear a massage unless it's right in my muscles as they're always tight - i generally want to twat the ladies in their white coat with smooth hair, lavender smells and little gentle presses with a pestle. Ooo. I have the rage! And I haven't been near a sauna since I went to visit my BiLs family in Norway. There was nakedness en famille. I was British and traumatised. My DSis's MiL dried her fanny in my ear.

Cor Lizzy your dedication to the cause is to be applauded. Running with a swirling tummy. Good work Chief.

As we're sharing and talking poo I feel I need to mention I managed my first run without having to stop part way round for a crap. I'm so proud I've been texting all my friends. Thinking of using it as my FB status too.

I ran 10km today because my husband were up in Harrogate doing work stuff so I couldn't go and play hockey [proud emoticon]. Unfortunately he decided to come back early to surprise me so I could go. So I then played 40 mins of a game [can't stand straight and got a bruised thumb emoticon].

Lizzylou · 24/04/2013 09:15

Tea Shock!
You really are Paula Radcliffe in all respects!

Huge respect for all the exercise! I am trying to get back to being able to run 10km easily (ahem). Have a bit of a mental block though I think.

In further news, I have lost 2lbs and have also adjusted my goal to be another 4lbs. So 16lbs to go rather than 12lbs and then we'll see whats what.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 24/04/2013 09:24

Well done hitting the goal Lizzy even though you then shifted it

And excellent weight loss too. You are a top Chief Grin

So did Paula Radcliffe shit by the side of that car? I never did work out what she was doing? I have really thought about it but have yet to not make the public toilets - I love living in a world heritage city there are toilets every mile Grin

Lizzylou · 24/04/2013 09:29

I hadn't reached goal, just extended it from 12lbs to lose to 16lbs.
Not far off though!!!

Yes, the general consensus is that she pooed. UGH.

OOh, World heritage city? Sounds swanky!

DoubleMum · 24/04/2013 09:32

Well done Lizzy, great loss!
Am shocked at public pooing.

OP posts:
RandallPinkFloyd · 24/04/2013 09:56

Fab loss Lizzy well done you!

And well done on not shitting Tea Grin

The idea of having any treatments filled me with dread anyway but one conversation with the perfectly coiffed, porcelain faced 20yo with the sing-songy voice and I was out of there!

Familial nakidity? Oh he'll no Shock

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 24/04/2013 10:38

Still whooping right at you Lizzy. I bet you could go to 10k. Some days you burn more calories than you would running 10k so I know you are capable physically. To make me do it, as I've got a race in a week so needed to know what I was capable of, I ran 5K away from home very slowly on a day when my DH was going out at a certain time and therefore had no choice but to run back. Hmmm - with a training plan like that I feel I have a future in sports (not)!

Randall that is possibly the best positive affirmation and most supportive thing anyone has ever said to me. Thank you Chief.

It looks swanky too Lizzy unfortunately we kinda clog it up and ruin the effect slightly with our West Country farmer accents, our penchant for cider and Glasto stylishness. The tourists are in and out though so largely don't notice us locals but do get to enjoy the many parks and public conveniences which a large proportion of my council tax provides. I live in Bath and if any of you Chiefs are ever in town you are very welcome to partake in Tea hospitality which consists of Gin and paella largely

Feck I hurt today.
