Hola.
Thought we needed a new thread Grin
Last day at work for me Grin Grin Grin

Well done Bssh on only gaining 1lb holiday weight, am hoping to emulate this!

Sounds like you are doing great choos

2.9lb off for me, that's an amazing 6lb this week. Bloody chuffed with myself Grin

I haven't been logging exercise on mfp, just want to concentrate on food for the time being. Currently 11stone 8lb, so 2 more stone to go! When I weighed back in November I was 14st 2lb. Goal seems more realistic now.

Sadly I have no before pics of dh toe, he was in a bit of a state this morning. But will take some after pics, sounds a bit grim as he is at work and its bleeding lots. He was told it shouldn't bleed so he may be back at dr. May have some great bleeding infected toe images! (Unless he is exaggerating then we will all be disappointed!!

When are you off on your hols tea?

Right, have to go and split ds and dd up, is it bad to say I don't like either of them very much at the moment Angry

Bonjour/Hola Chiefs.
I have had a fab holiday full of cycling, badminton, swimming and even a few runs (it was flat, how much easier is it to run on the flat?!) unfortunately my humongous consumption of cheese, pate, bread and lovely, lovely wine sees me 7lbs up this morning Shock Shock Shock Blush Blush Blush
So I agree with Randall, exercise tones but for me I need to watch my diet more.
The main part of our holiday we were in sw France and almost everyone was slim and toned, very much so. Felt about 1 stone over what I should be. Then we went to n spain and there were lots more normal looking people, actual tummy rolls instead of 6 pack abs. Felt better!

Soo, back on it like Sonic, holiday excess will be gone by weekend and a stone off thereafter.

How is everyone? You maintaining well Randall?
Tea Grin at naked shredding whilst drinking gin. SPD you sound all focused, well done on this last week.

Glad you had a fab time Lizzy, sounds like my idea of heaven (minus the cycling, badminton and running obvs).

You'll drop the 7lbs really quickly. Easy on easy off remember.

I'm maintaining ok so far considering all the Randalling I've been doing! Especially this weekend. Blush Just over 1lb up when I weighed to morning but still under the magic 140lb so I'm happy.

You're machine-like ways will have you svelte again in no time Smile

Lizzylou · 20/08/2013 07:45

4lbs down this morning, 3lbs to go to get to pre-hols weight Smile
Fasted yesterday and found it relatively easy to be honest, could be my way forward.
Can't juice as juicer has blown up Hmm , but I only ever do it during summer anyway.
Trying to eat cleaner and upping protein.
Body combat nearly killed me last night, abs are feeling it today. And I am back at work today Confused Angry

You are doing so well, Randall, you just seem to have the right attitude for the loss and then the maintenance. You should be so chuffed with yourself.

Glad your holiday was fab Double.

OP posts:
RandallPinkFloyd · 20/08/2013 08:59

4lb down already! Huzzah! See! Holiday weight isn't real weight Wink

I'm not surprised your juicer's given up the ghost, you worked the poor thing awfully hard before your holiday. It's probably blown a gasket.

Haven't got any more fun planned for a while now so going to be a bit good and see if I can drop just a couple of pounds to give me some lee-way. As long as I stay under 10 stone I'll be happy so ideally I'd like a buffer of 5lb ish. Some Randalling-room if you will! Between 135lb and 140lb shall henceforth be known as The Randall Zone. Smile

RandallPinkFloyd · 21/08/2013 11:08

Big relief, after a full weekend I'd randalling I'm actually 0.2lb down on last week.

I haven't fasted this week just did 1200 a day. Purely because I've found fasting a lot harder recently, it's started to make me feel really faint at times and I've noticed I've been crabbier than usual. So I thought now I'm at my goal and im just wanting to not gain rather than actually lose I'd just give it a try and it worked. Very very happy Grin

Plus I've been having a nightmare trying to buy new clothes as nothing fits me. Turns out my size 12 jeans are too big and I've just bought another 2 things in size 8 I bloody love vanity sizing I do!

RandallPinkFloyd · 21/08/2013 11:11

(What I mean is I randalled for 3 days and did 1200 a day for two days either side rather than 500.)

DoubleMum · 21/08/2013 15:54

I need more toe-related news.
In non-weight loss news, I have 2 giant rabbits! They were a rescue emergency, arrived Saturday. Things have been hectic. I may have eaten kitkats.

RandallPinkFloyd · 21/08/2013 16:19

Giant rabbits Shock
Well jel Envy

Lizzylou · 21/08/2013 19:57

Get you size 8 Randall Grin

Double, how giant are these rabbits? Have visions of horse size mutant bunnies now Grin

OP posts:
DoubleMum · 21/08/2013 20:31

This is they - www.flickr.com/photos/11485219@N07/9538302351/

They are only 6 months old, and don't stop growing until they are 2. They can grow to 20 lbs.

DoubleMum · 21/08/2013 20:31

So not horse size luckily!

Lizzylou · 21/08/2013 20:32

They are so cute! But very big already Shock

OP posts:
RandallPinkFloyd · 21/08/2013 20:58

Holy crap they're cute!

DoubleMum · 22/08/2013 07:14

This is why they need their own shed and big run, it should be done by the end of next week. At the moment they are in an 8 ft chicken coop, I can't wait to get them out of it.

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 23/08/2013 12:50

Lovely bunnies.

I had a giant rabbit when I was a girl. He was huge, bigger than a large Tom cat. He wasn't cute. He was fierce. He once fought a fox and won! He wouldn't allow any of us to touch him and terrorised us when we cleaned him out. I seem to remember him leaving on the back of a flat bed truck. Ahhhh. He was called Little Bunny FooFoo by me, Thumper by my sister, and That Bloody Rabbit by my Mum. Perhaps he didn't like having a lot of names and it made him grumpy.

Welcome back Lizzy.

Size 8 Randall Grin

Excellent loss Sylv

I am on holiday but at home for the day, washing our climbing stuff before going sailing. I seem to have put on 5lbs in a week Shock so will fast today. In some ways I can understand - youth hostels and veg don't seem to be closely acquainted - but we've been very active. Hell on Sunday I burnt almost 3000 calories hiking up and around fells! In fact, no naked shredding required. Oh well. Holiday weight seems to be easy to loose.

I can fit my running kit into my bag for holiday stage 2. So all exercise will be fully clothed. Phew!

Lizzylou · 23/08/2013 19:44

Have fun Tea, sounds active Grin

I have just got in from lovely meal out with dh and boys, pudding and everything. I am now on he wine.

Do I feel bad? No sirree. We just had an offer accepted on dream house Grin Grin Grin Grin Grin

OP posts:
RandallPinkFloyd · 23/08/2013 20:00

That's fantastic new Lizzy. In fact I wish I could grow another pair of arms so I could give it 4 thumbs up! Enjoy your lovely day.

Tea, you are bonkers. It sounds like my idea of holiday hell but as long as you're having a good time that's all that matters. Don't worry about the holiday weight, we have established it isn't really fat, it's special holiday fat that fecks of the week after you get back. Enjoy the rest of your torture Grin

LaundryLegoLunch · 26/08/2013 20:08

Hello all!

I've missed too much to catch up with everything but I hope all chiefs are enjoying their significantly thinner selves Grin

I bloody finally hit my sub-10 stone today! The day before I went on hols I was 0.25lb over which was infuriating. I put on 4lbs on hols but miraculously have lost 5lb since being back Confused

It felt so incredible to see a weight starting with 9 - I'm reckon I've not been 9 something in over 10 years.... As always, I owe it all to the original and subsequent chief threads.

I'm assuming lots of you are away, maybe once term starts we'll all be on it with a vengeance!

RandallPinkFloyd · 26/08/2013 23:51

Well done Lego!!!!

Single digits is the best feeling ever isn't it Grin

Bloody well done you.

DoubleMum · 27/08/2013 09:31

Well done Lego, brilliant Chiefing!

buzzybuzzybeeshoes · 27/08/2013 17:14

Yo, chiefs. I'm back and 2lb heavier - not too depressed about that as with the Scotland holiday that means I've been away for 27 days (most of August) and gained 3lb. I didn't get a chance to run as the holiday cottage was on a main road with tractors coming round blind bends and all sorts, and there was no pavement so I was too chicken! But tbf I could have taken DVDs or done press ups or summat. I just... didn't Wink

Congrats on the bunnies Double we are overrun with rescue beasts too - we pick up our sixth rescue cat this weekend!

Size 8 omfg Randall!! In the 9s gorblimey Lego!

Well done on the house Lizzy. Have you got an idea of when you move?

Well done all losers, I haven't really caught up with the whole thread but SDP you sound like you are on it like a car bonnet post-hols! Will do my best to join you.

RandallPinkFloyd · 27/08/2013 17:46

Blimey, well done Buzzy. A month away and only a 3lb gain, why 'tis merely a large crap. Excellent work Smile

To go with my size 8 tops I have now bitten the bullet and bought some size 10 jeans. They fit! And with minimal muffin top! Fuck you skinny jeans Grin Grin Grin

dinkydoos · 29/08/2013 17:05

Yo chiefs!
Am back and wait for it..... After 2 and half weeks in France managed to put on a wholly impressive 10 lb!! Aren't I clever....
By lost three pounds of it within a day, and am fasting today so will see if managed to reduce further by tomorrow. Sigh
Size 8 randall good god that's cool! And sub 10 lego, we were twins for all while on the old 10 stone goal but I'm a bit off that after my hol!
Lovely bunnies double and tea that sounds crazy but know that you will be tempering all that good excercise with gin, so prob not as grim as it sounds. Impressive loss sdp , can't think I have ever done a 6lb in a week, apart from giving birth Grin
lizzy spill the beans, we need house porn!

dinkydoos · 29/08/2013 17:06

Ooh and buzzy your holiday gains are a whole lot better than mine!
