The question is which is going to make me lose 20lbs in the next month? I was 14lb off target.

I am never drinking again, ever.

Itsfab · 02/09/2014 09:57

I am hungry, will have tomatoes grilled in a minute. Cake done. Not tempted ShockGrin.

This thread is brilliant!! I have at least 5 stone to lose, i have lost 1 stone in the last 2 months on slim fast but bored of that now and trying something new. Is the Duncan diet the grapefruit, eggs and chicken etc one? Im trying that one, lost 1.5lbs since yesterday!!

for breakfast ive had a boiled egg and half a grapefruit.
lunch is a grilled chicken breast with half a tin of tomatos.
dinner is a slice of toast and a salad.

im filling a jug of water and lemon slices each morning and putting it in the fridge, and making myself drink it all before the days up.

don't think i can risk the shitters tea!

FavadiCacao · 02/09/2014 10:10

The tea only gets rid of water retention, self or Mother Nature induced.
Scarsdale? It's only my second time; the first time I only needed to loose 3kgs (to reach beauty BMI) and I was on it for 2 weeks loosing 4kg. This time I'd like to lose 5kg by Sat!!! [gulp]

Well done, itsfab.

Tea reference was to Cat.

donnie · 02/09/2014 10:15

I need to lose weight as well but I still don't know what the shitter tea is or where to get it Sad - can someone enlighten me please?

Victrix · 02/09/2014 10:16

I wanted to have a stash of hard boiled eggs in the fridge and wondered if you could slow cooker them. I luffs my slow cooker Grin

I just read The Daily Mail's article and watched the video about Katie Hopkins.

I'm not sure how saying I hate fat people for making me do this has It has also succeeded in helping famously anti-fat Katie to even empathise with overweight people now. And how does ''we have a clip showing you getting emotional'' have anything to do with emotional eating? Shock

I may be drunk, Miss, but in the morning I will be sober and you will still be ugly. Dear ol' Winston Churchill comes to mind!

I am having what I had every lunch time when I was pregnant with DC1.

Tomato grilled on a slice of bread with 1 tsp of olive oil and black pepper. I am having Danish bread as lower in calories and it looks very light too.

Wifezilla · 02/09/2014 10:28

No loss on the scales for me today but looking in the mirror with the lights off I think my shadow was ever so slightly smaller.... Envious of those with losses already!

Even so, today has not started so well but the day is yet young and I will redeem myself by drinking a ton of water and sniffing dust (plenty of that around here...)

Keep the dream alive fellow skinnies Grin

Itsfab · 02/09/2014 10:33

Donnie I have slimatee from Holland & Barrett. Couldn't find any in asda, sainsburys or waitrose.

Danceasifnooneswatching · 02/09/2014 11:17

1lb off today despite drinking a bottle glass of wine.

Fruit for lunch, can't wait.Hmm

Flowers Matilda.

Fuckalella · 02/09/2014 11:29

Stomach was growling when I woke up this morning, but still managed to control myself and had grapefruit blended with ice (Whats style) then had my egg when I got back from the school run - scrambled it and added an extra white and a tomato though.

Didn't weigh in this morning as the shitter tea hadn't begun to take effect so there probably wouldn't be much difference. It has started to work now though, chillies and tea are a forceful combination.

sums up the mood for today Grin
donnie · 02/09/2014 11:29

thanks itsfab - I just read some reviews of it on amazon and I am too scared to get any! people saying they had to be near a toilet at all times etc...Shock - sounds worryingly powerful!

PrimalLass · 02/09/2014 11:31

Can I have a banana as part of my fruit lunch? have googled and can't find anything that says no.

Dreaming about banana on a slice of toast with a teaspoon on Nutella

LaconicIcon · 02/09/2014 11:49

I don't need shittertea, the half a caulie I had with dinner is just as effective. I feel cleansed.

Itsfab · 02/09/2014 11:53

Donnie I have been fine. First day I felt self conscious and worried about breaking wind but no significant results - weight or otherwise!

FavadiCacao · 02/09/2014 11:56

Thank you Lella, that's perfect background for Torture Anderson's exercises.

I can't see why you couldn't have a banana, primal. It's a bit carby, it has some fat but it is an excellent prebiotic (the greener the more resistant starch) and good source for potassium.

TheDietStartsTomorrow · 02/09/2014 12:46

Primal I was wondering the same about banana. I decided I'd just have it.

Souper · 02/09/2014 12:56

Favadi I used to have a pair of mad scales like yours. If I just stepped on to them they weighed one number, but if I lowered myself on gradually (yes, hanging on to the sink!) they weighed about 5lb less!

I have a fancy pair of Salter scales now. No fooling them Grin

Souper · 02/09/2014 12:59

Oh, and Pukka Detox seems to be effective shittertea. I had some last night but didn't have high hopes. I needed the loo after about half an hour! It might well be psychological so I will have more tonight (not before my Pilates class though - I think that would be a mistake) and report back. It tasted okay too, like liquorice and aniseed.

PrimalLass · 02/09/2014 13:05

I had my banana, toast and nutella. Bit naughty but am about to run about.

PicnicGatecrasher · 02/09/2014 13:15

Day Two Deflation.

0.1kg up on the scales, and hungrier after my chicken and tomatoes than I was yesterday after fruit? WTF??

AND someone just gone and put cakes on the desk opposite me! Noooooo

Lj8893 · 02/09/2014 13:18

I stupidly forgot to defrost a chicken breast for my lunch today so had a low fat chicken curry micro meal instead. Very spicy and i can feel it working its cleansing magic already!!

Lucked · 02/09/2014 13:26

I held off on the bananna but had just about everything else; satsumas, nectarine, melon, an apple and a few berries. I stll really really want a cheese sandwich though.

Think I may have to have a banana later though as I have a very intense exercise class this evening which I am dreading.

It's clear no one else round my way is doing scarsdale as all the grapefruits in tesco were all old, dull and slack. I will have to pop to the fruit shop later.
