Chiefs where have you gone?

[DoubleMum]

The thread has disappeared seemingly replaced by a biscuit!

4 lbs Apples. Great work chief. And how did I miss 5lbs from Randall. Feck me that's awesome.

I tend to think of weekends where I managed to show a little bit of restraint as a success Double so an 'ok' on food is a good weekend. Well done to you. And good news about the 24 sessions.

I'm sure that the focus of a big apple Dinks will help.

I made good food choices mostly and managed a game of hockey. Since 4pm today I have been a rampaging Cookie Monster though. I am sat as far as I can from the kitchen right now to try and prevent further damage.

I feel less padded than two weeks ago and will weigh in on Friday morning. I feel the need to get MFP and my Fitbit out

Oh, it wasn't a real loss, purely christmas bloat.
I've got a stone of proper far I want to get rid of now.

The weekend was a bust and yesterday I had to eat through the pain. 'Twas the only way.

Nothing planned for a good while now so back to a steady 1200 a day and hope for the best!

Dinky, well jel of the NYC trip, definitely some fab motivation there.

Double, 24 sessions should give you a really good foundation, hopefull you can pick up some things you can carry on with without needing the gym. How is the job/house situation coming on?

Tea, back on the hockey field? You'll be slinky again in no time.

I do love that you all think of me when overdosing on cheese

The house situation is likely no further forward than we were last on here unfortunately Randall. Sod all happening.

Oh, that must be frustrating. Mind you I suppose that kind of thing always goes on the back burner for people over christmas. Fingers crossed something starts happening now everything's back to normal.

Wow, 5lb, 4lb, 3lb - great Chiefing going on! I feel I haven't yet made much of a dent in my Christmas poundage but will weigh in later.

Dinky - very jealous of NYC!
Tea - great to see you back, and like the others I simply don't believe you were sitting about for that long. The type of person that does planks on their kitchen floor just doesn't DO that.
Lizzy - lovely to see you back too and really glad for you and DH. Hope the return to work goes well.
Apples - I always feel like an interloper too as I dropped out for a thread and a half when I packed on all the lard again and was too embarrassed to admit it when everyone else was doing so well!

I now have extra motivation too, in the form of a university reunion in October where we go back and stay for the weekend, including a swish dinner. Last time all the men had gone fat and bald (I generalise wildly here), but all the women were snake-hipped and wearing fab dresses with lovely hair. Again, probably generalising but I don't want to let the side down. So I have to sort. it. out. (Contemplating a bout of dysentery, cholera or similar.)

Double - 24 sessions could make a massive difference though, chief. And if you get them to show you some floor work or get into running, maybe it's something you could carry on for free? Good luck on the house - not too long till Easter and then house hunting season is in full swing.
Randall - hope this week is less painful. We've all had bust weekends weeks months years just forget about it and move on.

oh yes, Buzzy, i've been hopeful for illness. A friend had gastro-enteritis and it was quite the success on the weightloss front

My weekend was average - a pound up from Saturday's weight which is pretty normal for me. It will be gone tomorrow and then the rest of the week is to make inroads on the stored reserves.

Still focusing on less food rather than exercise though - really can't summon up the enthusiasm for Jillian

Can't run Buzzy, need only low impact stuff as I have knee replacements, but yes will ask them to give me some ideas. Am going tomorrow.
And finally after months, the survey on our house is being done tomorrow.

Hello all, well done on the losses!
Not been great food wise but!!! I have done evil Shred twice!
I will be tiny, I tell you in NYC....!
It's cold here though, Chiefs which isn't helpful is it?
I too, often dream of a bout of gastro enteritis buzzy and apples , just a quick few days, and a nice half stone gone would be vair helpful!

Sorry Double, you did say about the knees - I remember now. So Jillian's out for you too shame, eh

Well done dinky! Shredding! Clearly NYC is the perfect incentive. I was at my lowest stepping on the plane to New York in the summer but haven't been that weight since

Jillian is too evil for consideration.

I'm shredding too! But only managed it three times in past six days
Going to do it every day this week then get to level 2. Then I will obvs be ripped for my wedding in three months! I quite like Jillian ....

Oh man. I've made bad food decisions at every turn today. I ate crisps. I hate crisps. And chocolate. I don't hate that. I have done two good food things though. I had an americano instead of a latte and I just ignored the out of date mince pies in the cupboard Strangely conscious of not being in control of my will power today. Tis odd.

Played hockey in the snow though so that's one week day exercise more than the last three weeks. Feel better than yesterday for a run around.

Tomorrow I will charge my Fitbit to get me to take note how little I'm moving.

6lb off, hurray!

Double I think I have a Davina DVD that you're welcome to if you like? I don't use it ever much any more. It's quite good but I tend to swim instead. Just give me a shout if you want it.

Quick dash in to say wow to buzzy that's awesome!!!!
Bet you feel fab!

Bloody fantastic Buzzy, really great.

I'm more like Tea ATM, yesterday I couldn't stop snacking so made myself walk home from work, felt dizzy, ate chocolate to feel better. Defeated purpose.

I find it impossible not to snack at work if I have crackers or biscuits 'just in case'. I need to stop doing that. Just not have food available.

Phew, pulled it back from the jaws of disaster. Half a pound off.
Not exactly a loss but not a gain, so after the two-day hen night and hungover Sunday I'll take it as a win!

6lb off! Bleddy marvellous Chief!

Jillian still gives me flashbacks

well done Randall - its the eating after the drinking that compounds the damage normally - so sounds like you did well!

Buzzy that's fantastic! More than my 2nd baby weighed, LOL!
Tea I sympathise, I threw away 4 mince pies yesterday to stop me eating them.

Thank you! Now trying not to feck it all up. Have had one baaaad day, and then yesterday where I nibbled as I went along, not logging but thinking "oh it's not too bad, won't have gone over the limit", only to then fill in the diary in the evening and find I'd busted my calories! I just forget about stuff I've had earlier when making the decision on whether to eat something.... aaaaaaand that is why I'm fat.

Randall, brilliant to still have lost after that week! Well done.

I also can't keep food at work. I make periodical attempts to do it, as I feel antsy if there isn't anything there (although I'm never more than 5-6 hours away from food and it isn't as though I couldn't live off my fat stores for that long!) In fact, there was a brief period when I kept multipacks of chocolate in my drawer, reasoning that peer pressure would keep me off them to some extent. After a day when I was alone in the office, which I now refer to in my mind as The Incident, I had to stop doing that

One swim done and a further3 swims planned this week, which does at least keep me off the biscuits for the time I'm in the water but I've dyed my hair bright red and so will be leaving a streak behind me for a bit.

I gym-ed again today, then took the dog for a walk, and then packed 5 boxes, because drum roll we got our mortgage offer at last! It's only taken since November.

I see your Incident and raise you my Debacle. 6 x 2 kitkats. in one afternoon.

Love the red streak idea but am slightly worried you'll attract predators - are you in a shark cage? .

And yay to Double Mum's mortgage offer! - at last!

Love the 'incident' and 'debacle'. Any hurrah for doubles mortgage!
In other fecking news, I have lost one bastard pound after a fair bit of excercise for me, calorie counting and fasting! And no wine in the week!
( insert huge line of expletives here)
Quite pissed off, as you usually at least lose the christmas bloat pretty fast, but I am still 6 pounds heavier that on the 20 th December. How can that be???????
Help'!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

there used to be a thread on here talking about pounds as guinea pigs from some list that told you if you lose x pounds it was the same as an armadillo and y pounds was a policeman's leg or whatever. So you have one less guinea pig trundling around with you. A good thing.

His friends will join him soon - if you're doing the right stuff it will happen. It just likes to surprise us about when.

No wine deserves a huge reward. Have faith.
