Fantastic loss Hounds and Tessie. Grin

Hi, Justlikeheaven. I have substituted the bread for either a boiled egg or a piece of fruit and still lost on the Scarsdale.

Tom came bringing a huge appetite this weekend...no loss but no gain either. We are supposed to start the two weeks 'off' of the Scarsdale but I am so tempted to break the rules and soldier 'on' for one more week as last week I only lost 1.2kg and I am only 1kg from target number1.

TheHoundsBitch · 15/09/2014 10:24

I'm starting Scarsdale today, was gonna do Duncan but I think Scarsdale is better for what I have in the fridge!
I'm back up a couple of pounds today, but that's not surprising after KFC, cake, Dominoes, kids party food and Giraffe over the weekend Blush
My next goal is another 10lb by the end of September.

coffeeinbed · 15/09/2014 10:27

We seem to be missing OP and fab.
Lightweights!

Went to weigh in earlier and my scales are dead Angry

BUT I am wearing my Skinniest Jeans and I can almost breathe properly Grin

Hi all

Well done to all the losers and maintainers Grin.

Sorry not to be joining in. Things have been very very stressful here and then my third oldest friend has been taken seriously ill and sent a text saying she needs an op and apologised if she didn't make it. Nothing since and I have been going out of my mind.

3lbs off but more because there isn't enough in and I gave my lunch to DS when he wanted seconds twice.

Been very busy all morning. Washing, cleaning the floor where buttermilk spilt, cleaning the front windows, door and frames, made custard from scratch and currently have jam roly poly steaming for the kids and in less than two hours I am off to do my volunteering job.

Well done to lucky losers, welcome to new losers and welcome back to strayers Smile
I'm finally losing again, only by a pound BUT after sts for an absolute age it's a miraculous pound!

Victrix · 15/09/2014 18:50

I've saved myself about 1,000 calories this week.

Any other GF types see Udi's tiger loaf in the shops...don't buy it.

It is WRONG

flightywoman · 15/09/2014 19:01

Final reckoning was 7lbs off which pleases me no end.

I reckon with a combo of SW and a couple of fast days I should be able to shift some serious weight by December I did not sat the C word

Fingers crossed. First target is another 7lbs in next 4 weeks.

FavadiCacao · 16/09/2014 09:43

Despite the accidental encounter with half a bar of pure delight 90% chocolate, I'm down 0.3 kg this morning. :)

TheHoundsBitch · 16/09/2014 10:03

Its all gone wrong :( every month I forget just how horrific the first 2-3 days of totm are. I ate all the things. I'm another pound up and if I don't eat some cake soon somebody gonna pay.

FavadiCacao · 16/09/2014 10:59

I am the same Hounds. Have you tried fruit? Other than last night's chocolate (which I think was cravings for fat rather than carbs), I have managed to survive all the cravings by eating fruit.

Fuckalella · 16/09/2014 11:20

Forgive me diet rebels, I have sinned. This weekend involved home made pizza, wine, wine, more wine and then a biscuit and chocolate binge yesterday. I can hear the scales taunting me, daring me to step onto them but I am staying away from them today!

I have received punishment in the form of a Jillian Michaels torture session workout already this morning though and have so far only consumed coffee. Today will be a better day.

Well done to all the losers, well done on your loss fab but sorry about your friend, hope you get some good news.

Victrix · 16/09/2014 11:27

Ooft a JM torture session is punishment enough.

I'm kind of OK with 30DS but 6 week 6 pack is awful.

coffeeinbed · 16/09/2014 11:41

Same as yesterday.
Strange, as I didn't eat at all.

It must be a boiled eggs side effect.

Fuckalella · 16/09/2014 11:48

It was Ripped in 30... I just about got the hang of 30DS a couple of months ago, did up to day 27 then lost the motivation. I do have 6W6P, managed it once but its too long. I need short fixes!

TheHoundsBitch · 16/09/2014 12:22

LOL @ 'fruit' Grin
I'm just gonna try again tomorrow. Going back to bed for an hour is probably the best idea for me right now. Shopping for puppy bits has kept my mind off of food and cramps this morning, this pup is spoiled already and she hasn't even arrived yet!

frownyface · 16/09/2014 13:14

Apparently im 2lbs down on yesturday Hmm

Today is a bitch coz we have a casserrole in the slow cooker and it smells so damn good and im so damn hungry....Angry

Im pleased i dont have TOTM as such as a take my pills each day with no gap so no period.

Hounds my puppy is nearly 7 months now, its like having a new born a bit bloody hard work but good fun -enjoy your rest you will need it Wink

WyrdByrd · 16/09/2014 21:36

So...as of 4pm yesterday I have been doing the nil by mouth/emergency appendectomy/hospital food diet.

Will let you know how that works when I'm back home to my scales Confused Grin !

Victrix · 16/09/2014 22:14

That's dedication Wyrd

Hope you feel better soon Smile

WyrdByrd · 16/09/2014 22:56

I'm not sure I'd recommend it.

Have eaten a nectarines, a handful of grapes and a chicken sandwich since 6pm on Sunday.

Weirdly don't even feel hungry.

Bearing up ok though Smile .

coffeeinbed · 17/09/2014 08:58

I wonder how much an appendix weighs.

WyrdByrd · 17/09/2014 08:59

Danceasifnooneswatching · 17/09/2014 09:53

I NEED go get back to this!! Starting Duncan tomorrow again need 1 stone gone by nov 1st is it possible?

FavadiCacao · 17/09/2014 20:50

Does an appendectomy count as a colon cleanse? Grin

WyrdByrd Flowers, how are you doing? I hope they have you already walking.

WyrdByrd · 17/09/2014 21:23

I'm home! Hobbling about but v. stiff & sore. Jumped on scales after bath this afternoon and it would appear that the appendicitis diet is actually a bit crap and has had no effect other than the fact I now appear to have two belly buttons!

Probably because after 36 hours of not eating, all the hospital kitchen has had to offer since has been sandwiches and biscuits Hmm .
