NOW, or NEVER, no EXCUSES thread part 4.

[Tortoise]

Here we are, thread 4 .
Time for me to have a large kick up the arse and lose weight! (After Easter!)

ICB Is it worth trying to lose 3lbs? Will that make a huge difference to how you look? A diet shouldn't be for life but healthy eating should, with the occasional treat. I know how hard it is but maybe focus more on maintaining your weight rather than losing 3lbs.
I'm probably wrong in saying that, I just don't know but that's how it feels to me. . You have done amazing to get where you are.

My turn to moan. Had to buy a smart dress for a party and have really struggled to get something to fit so have felt a bit low about my appearance for a few days. I have bought a dress today, which I don't even like that much but even though my BMi is 25 I feel so fat.

I know I am being stupid. I am more healthy etc and should be happy yet I'm just not satisfied!

My shred DVD came today. Hoping to put dd2 to bed in a minute and to do it before dh comes home from work.

Forgot to say well done tortoise for surviving last night!

I had such a big lunch today (a friend made me do it!) that I have no room for dinner. Think I managed 1300 cals so still a good day but it's frightening that you can eat so much with one meal.

I had a ready meal for dinner. Was actually very nice but was around 500 cals so probably not best choice.

Evenings are always hard. It's boredom, i know, but hopefully I can stay strong.

Tomorrows breakfast will be a bellvita biscuit thing. Freebie tester pack with Tesco delivery. Just one single pack but can't knock a freebie .

DDs have inset training day tomorrow so will be dragging them plus bfs DS on a walk in the morning! . Bf has some work to do so I said I'd have his DS!

Pre weekend weigh in shows 4 lbs loss since Tuesday
Now have to keep it up over the weekend!

Sooo hungry today but I'm sticking to it even when DDs and bfs DS had chocolate. It smelled so good!

Well done tortoise. 4lbs is brilliant. And well done for resisting chocolate. Did you go on your walk? We have a couple of playdates organised over the weekend so I'm hoping to spend time in the garden getting some exercise.

No more moaning from me, I was getting depressed for no reason. Maybe it's because the weather is nice but I feel so much better today.

Yes we went for a walk Johnny and then went to town. Will go out later too.
I have been a little naughty and had a little bag of mini cookies

I did half a shred! I am so unfit I couldn't finish. I couldn't handle the bouncing, I had to hold onto boobs as they were all over the place. Must buy sports bra and try again.

Half is a good start .

I had 3 slices of pizza, some chips and garlic bread for tea followed by a toffee ice cream .

Lots of extra walking needed tomorrow. Hopefully not undone too much good work in one night.

Had a good day today.
Crunchy nut cornflakes and ss milk for breakfast.
Lunch was a frijj milkshake!
Dinner enchiladas and a few chips.

Was out all morning, went on train to bigger local town. So lots of walking!

This afternoon I have spent a good 2 & a 1/2 hours lawn mowing. 2nd half was rather over grown and long so was very hard going . Now pooped!

Debating whether to have a skinny cow ice cream!

ICB

Don't look at 3lb to loose look how far you have come.im finding 5/2 working well

Been busy week here . And 18th yesterday much eating of cake /ice cream am planning couple fast days

as have two nights out next weekend involving cake a d Chinese I fear next Monday my scales won't like me

Well done tort

Must admit sun makes things feel better and am wearing shorts

Tortoise what's a skinny cow ice cream? Is it low calorie?

Human on your non fast days are you up to 2000 cals (or whatever is normal for your height?) or are you still fairly low cal?

We had a playdate yesterday and I helped dd1 make chocolate cupcakes with her friend. I ate a few and licked the cake mix bowl. I had such a bad headache last night and I wondered if it was because of all the sugar. I'm not used to eating it these days. I still feel a bit rough this morning and we have another playdate.

Skinny cow mint double choc ice creams are 95 cal. 1.8g fat. I don't think that's too bad really for a treat. Compared to toffee cones from Tesco that are 220 cal!

Just been on morning dog walk with DDs . Feels good to have done it 6 days out of 7.

Ooh, I'll have to look out for them.

After 41lbs weight loss dh has finally noticed I have lost weight! He was playing with dds picking them up and lifting them. So he picked me up and rather than straining to lift me more than 3 inches managed about a foot and observed "you've got lighter, i never used to be able to do that" followed by a change of conversation.

Johnny although it must be really frustrating that he hasn't noticed or said more.

My brother has just cooked a chip butty. All I can smell is chips cooking .

Another good say . More gardening done and 2 laps around the field tonight with dogs.

Really hope I get a good result tomorrow.

day not say lol!

I am pissed off that he didn't notice me look thinner but noticed i felt lighter.

Good luck tomorrow everyone. I have eaten small portions of rubbish this weekend so I'm hoping to have made a tiny loss or stayed the same.

Yay 4lbs off .
Now 16st 3lbs. Long way to go but hopefully I'm now on track to do it .

No change, still 149.7 lbs. oh well, at least I'm not putting on weight but at this rate I won't get to 140 until Xmas!

Good luck everyone else.

Well done torts! That's brilliant new.

News.

Well done tortoise

Johnny staying same is acheivment glad dh noticd your lighter maybe time send him to spec savers

Down 1/2lb which is fine as just maintaing next week probably up as have 3 nights out this week

Johnny on normal days I'm only eating around 1600 which seems be about right for me

2lbs on for me...very sad.

But good going Tort!

I just saw some pictures of me from xmas..when I was already feeling really skinny and pleased with myself...and wow do I look chubby in them now!

I think I am just going to transition quietly into trying to stay below 140 lbs....although I really would have liked to hit my target...even just once..over night even.
