Does anyone with 1-2st to lose fancy buddying up?

Woahbodyforrrrm · 01/02/2015 11:41

I'm 5ft 5 and am currently 10st 6lb. My clothes are feeling tight and I have stopped wearing jeans in favour of elasticated trousers which is a slippery slope for me.

To cut a long story short, I lost 3st after my twins were born 2.5 years ago. I felt a lot happier and more confident but it's beginning to creep back on as I lost the weight during my turbulent pregnancy so never had to address my bad eating habits. It's catching up with me now and I've put a stone back on and know if I don't address the problem now, it won't be long till the other 2+st is back.

I wondered whether anyone fancied buddying up and we can give each other a nudge, check in on how each other is doing?

Got it! Thanks!

flanjabelle · 29/03/2015 19:22

I'm proud of myself today! I have done well on mfp and actually turned down a dinner offer from my mum. it would have been my favourite roast beef. I had chicken veg and rice instead. Feeling good!

11st 3.6lbs

3 weeks ago i was 11st 2lbs. i guess thats not bad considering i thought i was above my starting weight. ive had a better couple of days food wise. but not the heart to log it into mfp.

hospital tomorrow. i feel a little in a daze about it all. i wish i knew what to expect.

flanjabelle · 29/03/2015 19:55

Filo, I haven't read back through the thread, so don't know what's wrong and please don't feel the need to repeat yourself. I just wanted to say I hope you are ok, and good luck tomorrow.

FiloFunky · 29/03/2015 21:25

i dont mind sharing. i have a mass of fluid behind my eye. at the moment the hospital seems to be keeping me in the dark. this will the 3rd specialist ive been transferred to in my search for an answer.

i do know that its a rare condition and not usually found before it makes someone blind. so i guess I'm to be grateful that there is some chance, hopefully, that i might not lose my sight in that eye.

just wish someone would tell me what to expect. my last appt i was injected and turned yellow! i certainly hadn't expected that. i really did look like this Blush

flanjabelle · 30/03/2015 08:04

Oh goodness filo, that sounds very worrying for you. I hope you get some answers today and feel calmer once you know what is going to happen. Flowers

Lost 1lb, so lost 7(+4.6oz)lb in total in two weeks exactly. The chocolate is calling me, but I'm trying hard to resist!!

anothernumberone · 30/03/2015 19:57

Fingers crossed tomorrow Filo.

flanjabelle · 31/03/2015 09:52

How did you get on filo? Are you ok?

Down to 12 stone 0.4oz today. (Another lb off).
Went swimming last night and did 30mins lane swimming. it felt really good! I was knackered afterwards though, need to get fitter!

Thebewilderbeest · 31/03/2015 21:57

Welcome flanjabelle and pickles, good to have a couple more on board!

filo I hope all went ok Thanks

9st 9 at last weigh in, then took the kids to Harvester and spent the 2 days afterwards trying to claw back the 900 calories I went over!

Really craving sugar at the moment, so hard with the kids and their bloody endless Easter treats that appear from everywhere, it's not even Easter yet! Almost tempted to hide vegetables around the garden on Sunday as a joke and to make me feel better. I'll hold all the chocolate to ransom until they eat their greens!

FiloFunky · 01/04/2015 07:57

good news. the fluid has receeded away from my optic nerve. i will be monitored for the next two years and can must phone them and see them if my vision gors in the meantime.

they dont want to operate yet they wish to see if the fluid continues to receed or not. Grin

Hello - late to the party but can I join?

I am 5'4 and weigh 9st - I would like to lose half a stone and tone up a lot. I'm currently following a bikini body plan involving clean eating and exercise 6 days per week (I know, Urgh). So far, so good - have lost 3lbs in 9 days.

Checking in here will hopefully keep me on the straight and narrow!

anothernumberone · 01/04/2015 11:51

Filo great update totally delighted for you Flowers

anothernumberone · 01/04/2015 11:52

Welcome Amber.

flanjabelle · 01/04/2015 13:02

So happy for you filo! Glad it's good news!

Thebewilderbeest · 01/04/2015 21:20

welcome amber

filo that's great news, must be a huge weight of your shoulders!

This evening I have been fighting the urge to snack on rubbish even though I'm not hungry. Instead I had some grapefruit, a lump of cucumber and 3 celery sticks, seems to have worked as I'm stuffed now and don't want anything!

anothernumberone · 01/04/2015 21:38

I have had a shit week weigh in in the morning. Shock

flanjabelle · 02/04/2015 07:16

Good luck this morning another!

IamMummyhearmeROAR · 02/04/2015 07:50

Can I join? I'm 5foot 5 and currently weigh 11stone 4. I started my weight loss journey a month ago and have lost 9 pounds so far. I would like to be 10 stone 4. I am running 5k a couple of times a week and cutting out the crap. So far I feel great. I'm a chocoholic but have replaced gorging on cheapie chocolate to 1 square of Lidl raspberry 70 %. Around about 11 stone I will plateau so I hope being here will help me break through that

HeffalumpsnWoozles · 05/04/2015 07:57

Morning all & welcome IamMumm, got a stay the same this morning. Considering the hot x buns & bloody easter chocolate I've picked on I'm happy with that.

Bought a dress in a size 10 yesterday which will hopefully keep me on track as I need to shed another 12lb before it will fit me! Good luck all & Happy Easter Easter Smile

flanjabelle · 05/04/2015 08:22

I seem to be staying the same too, dispute eating really healthily and exercising :(

flanjabelle · 05/04/2015 08:23

Dispite sorry.

mamapants · 05/04/2015 09:37

Amber what is the bikini plan you are doing?
How's it going so far?
What exercise are you doing.
I'm only doing couch to 5k at the moment. Also trying to do some yoga at home so that I can join a class in a few weeks without embarrassing myself.
Didn't think I'd lost any weight but was down two pounds this morning. 8lb8
So hopefully will keep moving in right direction

flanjabelle · 05/04/2015 09:45

I think I know why I'm stuck! I'm pre menstrual and always bloat and retain water. Does anyone else find their loss fluctuates depending on their cycle?

Mama I'm trying some yoga at home today too. I'm lucky that dp is trained as a fitness instructor so he can help me!

mamapants · 06/04/2015 22:11

That is good flanjabelle.
I never did any yoga yesterday, fell asleep putting my daughter to bed.
Will have to go for a run tomorrow.
Tried on some of my more summery clothes earlier and couldn't close my trousers so not feeling great about that.
I keep thinking I don't look too bad then every now and again try on some prepregnancy clothes and it's depressing
