Yay, shiny new fred. I will have my breakfast cuppa and a fag after weigh-in. Will measure today too. I have insomnia with the diet too. I normally slip immediately into a sicky carb induced coma as soon as my head hits the pillow. Tho I don't wake with a sugar hangover either.

Amaretta · 01/09/2014 10:13

Wow it is like faddy dieters anonymous!

Matildasmam22 · 01/09/2014 10:17

itsfab your alive

I slept in and missed three pages. If I'm sleeping I'm not eating.

I weighed nekkid (it was bloody freezing and my toddler thinks I'm losing the plot)

10'5.

My diet today is he skint diet. Tis the day before payday.

Tommorow is asda for healthy things, holland and barratt for shitterstea.

I had my fag (but not my cuppa) before weigh in that's an extra pound at least.

LaconicIcon · 01/09/2014 10:18

Well that made sense Hmm
BUT ANYWAY I'm looking forward to looking slim and lovely in my posh frock and not like a pig in a wig Grin

Morning diet rebels!

Weighed in at 9st 11.5 this morning, could have been much worse as I have spent the weekend eating everything in sight. Aiming to finally get back to my pre-DC weight of 8.12, which would put me at the 'most sexually desirable' BMI.

After much deliberation, decided to follow the example of Duncan from blue and have just finished my toast and single tomato. Was actually nicer than it sounded. Missing my morning cup of tea though, may cave later.

Did consume the shitter tea last night but no movement as yet. Based on the last time though I suspect tomorrow will be a 'stay close to the toilet' day!

Scrambled eggs with no butter, cabbage soup, green snotty smoothies, caffeine-nicotine transfusion meal replacement...Should we have a team song to spur us on?

?!
Matildasmam22 · 01/09/2014 10:35

amaretta it's a laugh.

Fad diets work or there wouldn't be a market for them. Plus it's hilarious especially OP, she should write a book.

fuck I'm jealous of yours shitterstea and your starting weight I remember being under 10 stone [daydreams]

Victrix · 01/09/2014 10:38

I ate three eggs for breakfast and now my teeth feel squeaky.

This is going to be a long month.

LaconicIcon · 01/09/2014 10:43

My bum would be squeaky if I ate 3 eggs!

Itsfab · 01/09/2014 10:43

I have got tummy ache and feel scared to trump.

Souper · 01/09/2014 10:44

Good morning everyone. I have also had a big long sleep in to kick off Slimtember. My official weigh in this morning is 12st 10 and 1/8.

If I can get down to something starting in the 11s by October I will be very happy and looking a whole lot better.

My plan is spinach smoothie for breakfast, salad or fruit for lunch and chicken or fish with veg for dinner. Basically nothing not raw until dinner. No snacks. Minimal carbs. Will also run three times per week.

Tiddles for my non-food treats I plan to visit the Mac counter and allow them to sell me something lovely Smile

Kelly you made me laugh with your daring selection of white trousers this morning! Grin

TheHoundsBitch · 01/09/2014 10:47

I've never been under 10 stone [sadface] 9st 10 is the sexy bmi weight for me... not sure I'll ever get there though!

Victrix · 01/09/2014 10:51

I only had three because there were 3 left in a box to get used up.

It seemed like a good idea at the time Grin

GobblersKnob · 01/09/2014 10:54

itsfab feel free to scramble your eggs with butter if you are fairly low carb, however hi-fat and hi-carb will cause the kind of diet disaster that no amount of shitters tea will shift Grin

Really think about stepping away from the bread, why not have egg and tomatoes for lunch?

Oh and all farts are better out than in Wink

GobblersKnob · 01/09/2014 10:57

Souper I know someone who does 'raw 'till four' they seem to get to eat a LOT of food while resembling a skinny twig.

cleanmachine · 01/09/2014 11:03

Can I join? I don't have shitterstea but I have the shits courtesy of an over ripe mango I had yesterday which needed binning but I was loathe to bin after spending £2.50 on it.

I'm doing the anything goes diet veering from low carb yo 5 2 to calorie counting to eggy farts diet. Need to lose a stone this slimtember.

Itsfab · 01/09/2014 11:14

Definitely not having any bread today. Will have my home made soup and then fish and potato for dinner.

Tomorrow I will start on eggs and tomatoes. Have consumed 30 calories so far today but apparently 3000 something of sodium which is 700 too many for the whole day Shock[consumed].

MorrisZapp · 01/09/2014 12:12

URGENT ADVICE NEEDED RE FULL AND SLIM!!

so I managed to pick up a box of 21 full and slim sachets in boots for a fiver (I know!) But am now worried as I see they contain green tea.

Extensive googling does not tell me how much caffeine is in each sachet.
II'm really sensitive to caffeine and only have one cup of normal tea a day.

Any ideas what the tea/ coffee equivalent is in these things?

Lucked · 01/09/2014 12:19

Oh why didn't find this thread last night!! I have eaten a whole pile of crap his morning including, but not limited to, crisps, chocolate biscuits and drumstick lollies. Is slimtember lost? Do I have to wait for Novovember?

Can someone post a link again to the Scarsdale diet info, I think I have a tomato lurking somewhere so perhaps I can blank this morning, hide the wrappers and make amends.

Souper · 01/09/2014 12:27

GobblersKnob Raw til Four, you say? Excellent, that's what I'm doing, then. Not just something I made up, nooooooo.

Just got back from my run. Only had water with a Berocca in so far. I like 'running on empty' so my body has to burn the blubber to fuel itself round.

Just checked what weight I would be at my sexy BMI... 10st 1. I have literally never weighed anything beginning with 10 as an adult.

Itsfab · 01/09/2014 12:33

I am an emotional eater. I have blamed things in my past for it but tbh I don't know if that is true or if I have used them as the reason Confused.

Had big bowl of soup, delicious. Feel full and I don't need anything else but can see that I would eat a chocolate chip biscuit as a nice sweet treat and not because I am still hungry. The biscuits will stay in the cupboard.

I suggest we do need to have a day or meal where we have things that won't equal weight loss otherwise it will be a little bit tricky. Or is that just me? Confused.

FavadiCacao · 01/09/2014 12:42

Lucked, just hide the evidence! Scarsdale link.

Victrix · 01/09/2014 12:48

Shittertea has arrived!

For such a small box it feels ominous

FavadiCacao · 01/09/2014 12:52

Tried Tracy Anderson's exercises and I should be a few fl oz.s lighter; a few more days of it should add to a gallon or so [tosoretogrinsmile].
