SLIMTEMBER: Duncan from blue and tea that makes you poo

[WhatsGoingOnEh]

It's here!!!!!! Forget all you've ever known about steady, gradual weightloss, SLIMTEMBER IS HERE.

I am deciding how many beefburgers you can eat before it becomes slightly obscene!! It will have to wait till after my exercise class though as I don't have time before, I am soon hungry!!

For constipation is just lemon juice in hot water. It's best on an empty stomach but in desperate times! If you can't stand sharp lemony drinks, you down the juice from a teaspoon (tablespoons if required) followed by a cup of hot drink. Should work within half hour.

Well, having struggled to finish the fruit salad at lunch, I didn't stop at the signs of feeling full with dinner. I think I'm addicted to fat (I can leave the sugar).

Evening all. Well done to those who have lost a bit . Sympathies to Keith - I hope you 'go' soon.
I am having a couple of boiled eggs for my tea to get me psyched up for next week. Dh said he will have the spare room . I haven't admitted yet that I am sharting starting a fruit and egg diet from Monday

Does anyone know where I can source some ostrich eggs?

A few months ago DH started losing weight. First I was proud of him, then I was jealous, then I started to worry. When we went to France He lost 2lb in 10 days of chef catered meals and a ridiculous amount of wine. That scared me.

Blood tests came back and it was what we suspected. His thyroid is going bonkers. He starts drug treatment tomorrow with scans etc to come as we need to establish what has caused it. The bad word has been mentioned in a "one of the best results for treatment should it be that" kind of way.

Not really a diet tip (!!!) but I need to tell someone and his family are a bit over dramatic in their worrying so we're keeping it quiet.

Would I be totally shallow to hope the stress will help me burn calories?

FOUR burgers are only 440 calories???!!!!

I am debating if choc chip cookies = energy boost.

All you beef burger munchers do know the 'hamburger' is just the american name for mince right? Apols if you do and really like burgers!

Hope you husband is okay, WaitingForMe. No harm in hoping for a bonus in weight loss due to stress .

I have done the glycerin suppository.

I waited a couple of mins, then had an ominous rumble so ran for the loo and..... Farted. That's all. So clearly I don't have a baby sized poo inside me, and am just a fat fucker.

In the plus side, after 10 pints of water, 4 cups of green tea and 2 cups of shitter tea I am a pound lighter than I was this morning.

I have eaten nothing but two chicken breasts, a slice of ham and half a cauliflower today, maybe I will magically have lost the 6lb I put on by morning.

I am drink a whole lemons worth of juice in hot water.

Hope your hubby's ok waiting

Ow ow ow!

Decided to have another go, as have a distinctly swollen tummy and definitely need to go, so cut the packet open with the scissors on the work top, only to discover dh hadn't washed them up after snipping away at the chilli's he used in tonight's arrabiatta!

Fucking hell it stung!

that sounds horrific Keith

However bad you think it was, it was worse. Dh is still sniggering.

I threw away cake today!!!!!!

Free buffet again at work today on the second school training day. Another lunch of one wholemeal bread roll, one slice of ham, salad and grapes. and a few crisps and some thing bits of cheese .
It was someone's birthday and a slice of cake was thrust upon me. I took it down to my classroom, sat at my desk and took a couple of bites. Then I realised I a) didn't want it and b) didn't really like it. So I chucked it in the bin.

The afternoon was very busy getting ready for my new class, then off to the gym for induction. We tried all the machines, all the weights things and all the toning tables. (do those things actually work??)

I've finally managed to sit down to eat my tea (a couple of thin sausage, cooked in the air fryer to get rid of lots of the fat, then stir fried with onion and mushrooms).

I was v disappointed with the scales yesterday after my lovely meal out - hope today makes up for it a bit.

Still waiting for the fitbit and the full and slim stuff to arrive.

I'm definatly getting my shitterstea tommorow.

Kids are back at school I can't bloody wait. Best get an early night if I'm sleeping I'm not eating.

That's some willpower 2kids I don't think cakes ever been chucked out in my house.

Sorry about your expirience itsfab

Waiting, hope things improve soon.

I made burgers at home and added the veg to the burger meat for a bit of taste and also added a handful of chopped coriander too. Made about 10 mini burgers as I was starved after the fruit lunch which proved to be quite unsubstantial, however DH had scoffed half of them before I got to the table and although I rescued the rest, I ended up with half a dinner only.

Needless to say, I'm starved. So starved in fact, that I've come to bed early and will leave my lesson prep to the morning.

Whatsgoing, I was fighting temptation before I saw what you'd written about the magic of Scarsdale. I'm determined to see it for myself so please keep reminding us how magic it is.

Oh CTK, I do so feel for you. I have a cupboard full of suppositories, movicol, lactulose which I should return to the chemist. The ultimate force is magnesium citrate (H&B sells tablets); in powder form plus lemon in cold/hot water will be drain cleaner strength.
The chilli should help with following Tracy Anderson's standing abs; together they should push in the right direction.

On a different note, shortening your penne (quills) all'arrabiata (angry) for pene (sorrows/penalties) is not a cheat worth having.

Found you thought is imagined it.

What crash diet we doing today

waitingforme Huge hugs! I think they always mention The Bad Word, don't they. Just to cover their arses. I'm sure stress will burn off calories, as long as you ignore the siren call of the hospital canteen... Or those drinks machines that make that technically bad but actually delicious, powdered hot chocolate.

My abs are aching at CTK's ring of fire

theDietStartsTomorrow - I love your recipes. You can make silk meals out of sow's ingredients. But YES, I PROMISE you Scarsdale works. I've forgotten - have you read the book? There's a bit in a Q&A section where he says how some people think it's alchemy. :)

My beef burgers are mostly meat, I think (need to check packaging for hidden crap like flour, breadcrumbs, treacle, butter) so hopefully my body don't know it's not eating "hamburger"? Oh I hope so. I'm starving now, PROPER starving, so I hope I see some positive signs tomorrow. My oeriod's due on Sept 7, though, so maybe not.

Sorry, I'm too tired and weak to write anything articulate... Can't... Type... Please.... Send... Help....

God, do you think, by mid-September, we'll all be so grumpy and tired and hollow that this thread will disintegrate into tiny, terse posts? "Ate more CUNTING carrots. Half a pound lost. Killed DH, hopefully will resist urge to go cannib... Ah fuck."

CatThief - nooooooo!!! OMG! Ouch! Argh! Guilty lol!

hounds, I love that baby photo!

I'm confused with the lemon juice. Is it for constipation or water retention?

I've just had 3 dessert spoons of neat lemon juice, and another MASSIVE glug of it mixed with warm water. Will I piss all night or shart my PJs?
