Calling all Motivational Mondayers!!

[TheOneWithTheHair]

And anyone else who wants to join in. The idea of this thread is a way to record weightloss, motivate each other, discuss which methods if any we are using to lose weight and give the occasional kick up the bum.

Right you lot. I was going to wait until new year to start this thread but I think that if I'm going to have my head in the right place to start, I need your help now. I haven't weighed yet I'll do that on the 1st but I think I probably have 2 1/2 stone to lose. Last time I had 3st to lose so I'm seeing that as a postitive.

So, are any of you still out there? Who'd like to join me?

I am so slow . I never even thought that's why you were called 8020 eighty , I wondered why you had numbers for your name

Me either. Infact I was going to ask you about your name but I wondered if it was too personal.

Reastie oh my goodness, 100lbs? 100lbs that's an amazing achievement. Wow, well done you, you must look like a completely new woman!

Well my nn is easy. It's how people refer to me when trying to describe who I am.

"You know her. The one with the hair!"

Which usually gets the response, "Oohhh. Yes, I know who you mean."

Funny thing is, it's not that remarkable. Long, thick and very curly.

InMySpareTime came up with it and I've sort of grown into it. I nc for a thread once and totally outed myself on here by mistake so I'm better off sticking how I am.

mines is from my DH has always called me Kato (kate) and when I was pregnant he said I was baking at 'kato potato' I joined mn when I was pg so it seemed to fit!

eighty we have some pics on one of the spreadsheet pages, our Reastie is there!

KALE update! Bloody lovely! Drizzled with garlic infused olive oil and coarse salt, oven at 180 for ten mins.

Crunchy and tasty

Oh eighty sure I eat a lot of biscuits but I'm good at spreadsheets!

I deleted some of my pictures on the ss to add updated ones only to discover I don't really have any decent recent ones . Will be added at some point. I did have a parent not recognise me at parents evening last month I think because of WL although she said it was something different with my hair but my hair is the same

Kato do you think a toddler would eat/like the kale? I'm wondering if I can dress it up as being special crisps to get DD to eat vegetables (she refuses any veg ).

My nn is just something to do with my RL name, and I won't say any more than that as I don't want to be outed

Gah, work today, you know when you wish it were holidays again and you really can't be bothered...

Reastie that's a fantastic NSV! I had one yesterday too. I had to put two new holes in my belt.

For anyone new, an NSV is a non scales victory. Something that shows your weightloss that has nothing to do with weighing in.

Does the kale taste a bit like seaweed or am I way off the mark?

I'm going to a yarn and material shop today. Can't wait. I shall no doubt spend far more than I should but it's always so tempting.

It is quite seaweedy, and little like pak choi?

reastie veg avoidance does kick in about 3! It's a nightmare, but peas are a non-negotiable here! With the kale, you could try it, I might make more for DS but with a lot less salt (I used to much last night!) I could pop a pic up, could I maybe start a photo thread? Just for food etc? I like sharing with you guys and I'm making a birthday cake later for DS (4! Today!) just a thought?

Crap I think I've deleted someone off the ss, I'm not sure if a gap was there already below me? I've stepped away and someone please fix it, I'm so sorry if I did it was a accident

Weighed in yesterday and -3lb! I think that was mainly where I was poorly last week, but I'm not complaining!

Well done everyone for yday, great week for everyone!

toe! don't you know I have an Elliot and ET type relationship with that spreadsheet, and when you did that I collapsed to the floor?!?! ??

I'll fix it when I'm back at the laptop!

Toe you noodle!!!

So glad it wasn't me!

Well done on the loss though. :)

Ha ha, I won't ever touch it again I promise!

Lol so how's everyone's day going? I have a bag of mini creme eggs calling me, it's awful how I feel I need to go out to stop me eating them! I want to scoff the bag then buy another to replace them and pretend to dp my will power is amazing!

You need to fill up on something else!! Even if you want sweet stuff, once you fill up it'll be easier to resist. Boiled egg?

Kale huh? Might have to try that.

The gap on the spreadsheet ...... erm, might have been me. Maybe?! Think there were two white rows and I like order so had to choose the green row. Is that a bit odd?!

So, I've found my motivation! I stood on the scales this morning!!!

I'm two weeks post an op so lots of sitting about, snacking on things and when I stood on the scales this morning I got quite a
Hmmm, so I put my numbers in the spreadsheet and I'm ready. I've tested it already this morning and strolled past the chocolate.

Well done Tobermory, the worst is over. I hope you recover quickly from your op.

Kato's not going to let us near the thing at this rate! She'll lock it down or something.

Thanks hair.

Yes, she'll be taking her spreadsheet home!!!

it's was you!!

errrrmmmmmm.

It might be. Maybe. Sorry!

But there were two white rows. Yours was white and the one under was too, that's just not right. I HAD to go to the green row, dontcha see?!

I did wonder about that Tobermory. I think I'd have done the same.

Food has been good today. I missed breakfast so I had it for lunch. I'm not hungry yet either. If I can get to dinner it'll be great. I'm out for a drink with dh later so it's probably a good thing that the food calories aren't too high.

Hair...yeah, you back me up!!!

"out for a drink wth DH", how very exciting. how old are your children or do you have a babystitter lined up? We rarely get to go out just the two of us, super-busy with work, no family very close. Maybe I need to find a babysitter?

Lol no no there is OCD in all of us!

I'm sure super Kato will come along later and fix it.. Then me and Tober can smile sweetly and pretend nothing ever happened!

Drinks on a Tuesday Hair?! Vodka is only 55 cals apparently!
