The 'Avoid The Quiche' Quiche- Part 2!!!

[HenriettaPye]

Hi all!! (waves!)

Cant believe our last thread filled up so quickly!

For those of you who don't know us, the 'Avoid the Quiche' Quiche is a group of people who all want to lose a substantial amount of weight (no coming on here complaining about the half a stone you desperately need to lose, thanks very much!) We all have different personal goals and reasons for wanting to lose weight, whether it be for a special holiday coming up, to aid fertility or to be healthier. This thread is a place to share your highs and lows, talk to like minded people, get encouragement and offer support to others when they need it!

Official weigh in day is Wednesday- Slimmer of the week will get a virtual bunch of flowers, woohoo!!

I personally am aiming to lose 6 stone. It wont be easy but i've got a great bunch of ladies behind me keeping me focused and for that i'm very grateful!

Woo henrietta

Loads of great losses this week! Will be interesting to see how much we lose in total! Will do my listings later when everyone has posted theirs

Wow, well done on the loses. I've maintained this week.

Henrietta. In case you missed it I gained 2 guinea pigs at the weekend. Real ones!

More great losses this week! Unfortunately I am not one of them, I have a horrible cold and I can only weigh in at the gym and did not feel like going at all today, or the last few days. Probably just as well as I have really been embracing the whole feed a cold thing. Back on track from tomorrow.

Go Henrietta! That new outfit for Christmas Day is calling you!

Thwarted - you have probably used a fair bit of energy (I.e calories!) fighting the cold. You could be pleasantly surprised !

Oh fantastic Iknewhousework! Hope they are settling in well!

Going for a big push this week. I need to lose 3lb next weigh in to hit my 1 stone mark.

Motivated by all the big losses this week.

Well done everyone. Can you believe this is already our 5th weigh in since Henrietta began this thread?

Would like to lose a stone and a half by the end of November. Think that is doable.

My mini goal is 7 lbs having already lost a stone.

Is it the 5th weigh in? Thought I was the 4th?

3lbs off and slimmer of the week That's 9.5 lbs in three weeks, I am thrilled.

Yes lego this is 5th!

Think that's everyone now? Will start the list

Ah of course, I didn't do the first one! Sorry, forgot about that.

Sorry I haven't made it on in time for the list. I did post my loss on Sat but meant to put it on again today. I lost 2.5lbs this week, making a total of 1st 2lbs in the 11 weeks I've been doing SW.

Well done to everyone who's lost.

OFFICIAL WEIGH IN RESULTS!! (Hope I haven't forgot anyone! Currently doing this on phone so please forgive me if I have...)

So slimmer of the week is .... YELLOWCANARY!!! Well done 6lb is fantastic, especially since Friday!! Please share your secret

So a whopping 32.4 lb lost this week. Which is equal to a cinder block- or 20 DOZEN large eggs AND a rack of baby back ribs!! (The second equivalent sounds more exciting!!)

And in the 5 weeks since we started, we've lost an amazing 168.9lb!!! That's equivalent to-
A 2 month old horse AND
An elephant penis AND
A human head!!!

Good work quiche avoiders!!!

Ah xpost summer!! Sorry, missed your post on Saturday.

Add another 2 guinea pigs into those totals!!

Mia I'm 3lb off losing a stone too I don't think I'll do it by next week cos I lost 3lb this week but I'm on track to lose it by my little half stone targets that I've set myself!

well done henrietta and I've said it before but THANK YOU for started this thread - its quite likely I would have lost my willpower by now and given up but reading all the motivational posts and checking in is helping to keep me going!! Thanks to everyone on the thread

Great work, folks, well done. And it's brilliant to see some of the people who were disheartened last week, (LayMizz , Henrietta and anyone else) posting some healthy losses this. I'm so pleased you stayed with us.

I have one more gerbil to lose to hit my final target. I'm trying not to get too excited about next week being The Week in case it doesn't happen. Boy, am I going to be on my best food behaviour for the next few days!

What a good week all round! Well find everybody.

I second what MissElodie said - thank you Henrietta for starting this thread, and to the rest of you for sticking around to inspire, commiserate and generally chat. If it wasn't for this thread I would still be starting 'next week' and I genuinely don't think I would lose anything for my wedding. Now thanks to the support on here from people who actually understand, I think I really might!

Have to go wedding dress shopping soon. I have seen a dress I like the look of and am making an appointment to try it on but the sample size is a 12 . I am dreading trying that on (or rather, holding it up against myself and seeing 50% of me peep round the sides of it). Humiliation aside, whether I choose that or another I am going to have to gamble on what size to order as I'll need to do so 5-6 months in advance. Eek.

Er, well done. Bloody phone and sausage fingers.

I second what MissElodie says - thanks to Hen for starting this, and thanks for everyone who took the trouble to write something in a post specifically mentioning me by name. It is much easier to hold on and hang in there when you know other people are rooting for you.
I wish you all a highly motivated, healthy week!

Lovely messages tonight!

Thanks all for being part of this thread, and part of my journey to a slimmer healthier life! I couldn't have done it without you and I consider us to all be friends!

Aww you lot are awesome :)

Just checking in before bed to say that I've had a good day today, no random food choices and I've felt more in control.

Didn't get anywhere near the thread yesterday.
But 2lbs down so hit my first stone.
That's 1 down, 6 to go.
Have been having very busy week, so not getting online much.
Srill craving the unhealthy stuff. Really really wanted biscuits last night, but had carrots and some low fat hummus instead.
Not quite the same, but took me over the hurdle anyway!

Well done everyone on brilliant losses

Here's to another great week
