Hello all hope you are well and ploughing along Smile

I am also +4 sazz I am trying to be more healthily and ditching the rubbishy food so hoping this is just a temporary gain!

Out this am at 6 for a brisk 45 mins walk with pal. Have missed it too much and got home before the rain started Smile

Another +4, was worse but been struck down with kids' tummy bug so wavering between not hungry and needing carbs!

Walk sounds great in the morning LoTI - I your foot better? I managed to soldier through Level 1 shred this evening with the dd's after work. Not v enjoyable but ticked off Smile

Fjorn, poor you Sad although hope there are some silver linings Grin

Despite a fast day (after exercise), only 0.5 off. Boo.

Need to keep motivation up.....

It'll come off today Sazz I'm sure

I am down a paltry 0.75 to 12 7.75, prob due to the chips and then treacle cake & custard I had for tea BlushGrin Fasting today so might lose a couple more with a bit of luck...

Managed to get motivation sufficient for level 2 AND level 3 shred. Pooped now!

I take it you are feeling slightly less queasy Fjorn Grin

I like this thread because if I miss a day or two of posting then things haven't moved on too much!

Started using mfp again yesterday. Have used it on and off before but not since I got pregnant. Obviously have upped calories a bit (am going for 1700) and I'm not going to stress if I go over. I just need some sort of accountability.

lol Helga we are not exactly setting the boards alight are we... you should have seen us on our ante/postnatal threads though. We could fill one of those buggers in a fortnight Grin

Down today so broken the Wednesday 12 7 pattern and am 12 5.5 Grin So really hoping to be 12 3 or ideally lower by Friday... then it's half term and it all bloody goes back on again

Another small loss to 10.13 although I do feel my body is toning due to the extra exercise which is great. Well done Fjorn; not sure I'll manage evens this week but am determined to be good to Friday evening.

Helga - you will generally find not a lot of posting in the school holidays - I think I didn't post for about 6 weeks in the summer BlushGrin

I know what you mean about accountability - without it my portions creep up and exercise falls off and weight gradually goes up. I use Food focus but I think mfp is probably better now.

LOTI - if you are reading this, we'll miss you on here but please do concentrate on your health and I hope you find a GP who is more use than a chocolate teapot. If I ever manage to get out for an early morning walk/run, you will be my inspiration Smile

Am going to try and shred tonight with dd's and tomorrow's meal is canx so a bit less temptation!

Glad to hear the exersazz is working on your wobble Sazz Grin

Stupidly I ate a slice of DD's pizza last night but managed not to go carb crazy after that. Still 12 5.5 this morning, on a fast day so we'll see what happens. -3 would be brilliant Grin deluded

Weighed myself this morning after 3 days of sticking to 1700 calories a day and I'm down to 10.13.2!!

And I'm not even tracking that accurately. I'm not counting butter or milk and I'm not weighing anything and just taking a guess at portion sizes.

StrictlySazz · 24/10/2013 20:00

Well done Helga - I think tracking your food leads to more mindful eating rather than shoving it in and weighing yourself with fingers x'd and eyes closed Grin

Level 1 shred done this evening, so 6 exersazz this week. Woo woo! Sadly half term will not inv

Hi Bubalou - was you DS born in aug 08? Both Fjorn and I have aug 08'ers Smile

Are you following any plan or just eat less, move more? Helga and I are calorie counting using mfp/ff and Fjorn is 5:2 ing it.

Friday is official weigh in day.......

For me, evens at 10.10.75. Grrrrrrr.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 25/10/2013 08:53

Hello Bubalou do we know you???? Welcome Smile

Helga that's excellent work, well done!!!

Sazz bugger re evens, but at least it's not up and you are well in the 10s now Envy

I managed -2 yesterday to get down to 12 3.5 so it's taken two weeks to lose the cheese and wine weight from your house sazz! Bit disappointed it's taken so long but at least it's gone. Roll on half term... Grin

I have stuck to 1700 calories now for 5 days so I'm allowing myself 2000 a day over the weekend.

FjorGynAndHotWater · 28/10/2013 09:24

Hope you enjoyed your 2000 calorie days Helga!

Oh I have fallen at the weekend hurdle for the 237th week in a row BlushBlushBlush and consequently +6.5 to 12 10 was very nice cheese wine crisps & cake though... Hoping to break the holiday pattern though so fasting today in anticipation of pub tomorrow wish me luck!

Managed pretty well yesterday and down to 12 7.5 today. Pub cancelled as too tired thanks to DS' inability to reset his body clock so going to drink beer and eat pizza at home instead Blush

+5.5 to 11.2.25 after 4 days of eating loads and no real exercise but had a lovely time Smile. Need to get back on track ASAP but working the rest of this week so exercise harder to fit in.

Glad to keep you company on the sinners bench Fjorn Grin

How was your weekend Helga?
