Anybody fancy losing a stone and a half by Easter?

[MercuryRising]

I have just weighed myself and the results were hideous. I need to start taking some steps to shift some pounds - the first one being moving away from the Christmas chocolates. Does anybody fancy joining me?
It is 16 weeks until Good Friday so losing a stone and a half is very doable. I am a ww monthly pass member but haven't attended meetings regularly or followed the plan properly since the Summer
Please come and motivate me.

Doing okish.
Had a bit of of a funny day yesterday.
Had a salad buffet type thing, so no idea really how many calories.
Are onion bhajis bad? Didnt think until I had them on my plate, and ate them
That is the advantage with packaged and tinned food. They are calorie counted.

Dont knock yourself too much about the 1lb. Especially since it is your first time.

Yes onion bhajis are bad

And I love them

And I am going to an Indian buffet, where I am going to eat a lot of them

Good luck for today!

Yum...bhajiis
Nothing else to say...mmm

Mmmmmmmmmmmmmm want some now

That's the one drawback to this thread. It can give us the wrong ideas.

Had four!!

Not eating tomorrow!!

I feel responsible!
No mention of them again will pass my lips on here!

Yep, blaming you blue

Tomorrow I will have a few coffees maybe a few ryvita for lunch and omelette and chips (in the actifry) for tea

What could possibly go wrong with that?

Just the chips in the actifry obviously

Fried omelette!

I have realised that I am just about always fine until coming up to 9pm.
I like to finish off with something "nice", then I start to stray too much.

You have reminded me Rufus to find out how many calories there are in normal drinks. I always assume they are not that high.

How is everyone else?

Found out what can go wrong with that!

Damn you phileas fog crisps!

Still within my 1000 cals

If I stay looking at your post too long about crisps, I am going to want them too!

blue get off the thread!! Save yourself!!

Has anyone noticed that your skin doesn't look so good now that your loosing weight?
feel disappointed - I wanted a healthy glow, not grey dry skin.

My skins seems to be the same, although a number of people have said that they can see the weight loss in my face

Skins? I only have one skin, just felt I should clarify that

Haha!
I just feel crap if i'm honest. Wanted to glow, ooze sex appeal, be confidant.
But now my skin is dry and grey, i'm still self conscious, terrified of the bikini I got myself; i'm thinner but nothing else has changed!
Sorry i'm prob just hormonal and being silly, ignore me

Feeling really un motivated - can someone remind me why am doing this?

joker because you are only 5lb away from your target

Because you have already done so well

Because you like feeling fitter and getting into clothes that look good

I do like nice clothes and looking good

Thanks x

Oh I forgot my announcement!
I'm 2 pounds off my target! (think I was helped quite a bit by being ill, didn't eat at all for 3 days...)

Feeling really happy, thinking of changing my target to the weight I was when I met dh. But just don't like the idea of making the number of pounds to loose bigger when i'm this close to the end. anyone else moved the goal posts close to the end?

Yay!! Go joker, go joker,

My plan is to get to target and then see how easy it is to maintain, I'm miles away though

Whoo hoo. Lost 4 1/2 pounds!
Did far better than I thought. [am bluepen]
Managed to remember what I have eaten for the last week, so will keep the details safe somewhere to remind me.
Does leave me with a bit of a dilemma of what to do now. Decided to lose some more if I can for the time being.

This sort of part answers your question Joker?
btw, I am not going to where I was when I met my husband. Too thin for me. I dont like to get bony. Which is the point I stopped at, years ago when I lost 1 1/2 stone.

Can people review this and tell me what they think. A friend just said i'm eating to much.
Ihave changed final target so i've got 7lb to go.
6.45 get up and drink half a pint of water.
7.30 walk dog for an hour. Brisk walking in muddy fields.
8.45 breakfast. 2Tbsp home made low sugar granola with 1 Tbsp full fat organic live yoghurt. Small coffee. Half a pint of water.
Then walk 10 mins Down the road to work.
10.30 large mug of green tea.
12.30 small.portion of cold whole wheat pasta with lots of kale pesto. Melon. Half pint of water.
2.30. 2 squares of 70% cocoa choc.
4.30 large peppermint tea.
5.30 whole pint of water after getting home.
6.00 walk dog for another hour. 7.30 half hour of bellydance drills, practice, choreography from teacher.
8'15 dinner Spanish omelette with lots of roasted veg. normally no drink.
After dinner Camomile tea, (on a Friday or Saturday have a small glass of dry white wine.)
That's what I had yesterday. breakfast is pretty similar each day. Other examples of lunch : home made soups, salads, eggs, couscous salads, sweet jacket potatoe with cheese, stir fry.
Examples of dinners : Spanish omelette, pasta (no creamy sauces), risotto, griddled fish or lean meat with veg and rice. quorn or tofu pieces with stir fry. Home made curry with rice.
How does that sound?
