calling all long term slimmers

[glitterfairy]

I am starting this thread to take up from the 10 stone one. That thread has given me a lot of strength and hope and I would like to continue that dialogue but thought it might need freshening up. Champs speak to me! Hows it going and how many new food types can you alert me to?
Any more takers for the long haul speak now!

Am ok although my mind has gone Champs. However period started today so obviously slowing down and not doing so much has helped and the twins are no longer on the horizon nor is cancer of the pituatary which is a relief! Had worked myself into a right state but all is well!

glitter!! I was worried about my periods too!! imagining all the worse. Funny thing is that after I put on some weight my periods returned!!! think health officials may have been right.

please dont think I'm just a lazy bloater (tempting I know) but i really think I will eat healthily and excersise but not diet as such until I stop b/f. I have been ill, rundown, periods stopped, milk slowed down.......

what do you think? Please be as frank as we always are.

PS I'm glad you are doing better.

Champs Lazy bloater club has now been started on mn! Will start a new thread instantly!

I put on loads of weight bf and was always starving! With my third I couldnt bf and I lost weight the quickest.

I think trying to diet when you are feeding is not good for you. eating sensibly yes but if you are hungry then you need food. The real problem with women like me is I am rubbish at knowing when I am hungry and not just needing comfort, Angry, hurt, Depressed, or into just pigging out!

I need lessons in hunger management to ensure I know what hunger really is. As soon as I see fod I must have it abit like shopping. When I was feeding I was almost always tired and depressed as well which is also crap for dieting. I find that I can manage food adiction when I am a0 not tired b) not too stressed and c) reasonably happy. Which leaves not much space for trouble. If I get cross my instant reaction is to eat or depressed or tired or just down! This is a downward spiral as then I feel worse and eat more!

Anyway imo you are very good to even think of dieting and bf and frankly deserve a medal! So here it is the Lazy bloaters medal of the year award for trying to stop being a lazy bloater!

Hi!!! glitter you are lovely!!
I now fit into a generous 20... taking sooooooo long.
HELP!!!!!!!

how was ww Julie?

ROFL!! Glitter, you are wonderful. ALWAYS THERE TO HELP ME GET A GRIP (oops caps!!)
I totally feel your post, I am just like that!! I am a bit down to tell you the truth cos I really need to loose weight but have to weigh up(no pun intended)the possibility of being ill and not enough milk for ds2 to just making myself happy, although if am ill wont be happy... arrrrrrrgggg.

There's no way I'm gonna slip into old ways though will go on eating healthier and hopefully will still loose some.

Hi everyone - well I actually went runing last night for the first time and am aching today - not enough stretches afterwards! It was OK though. I did 20 mins of 90 secs running and 60 secs walking and it really was OK even though I was very very slow! Could hardly manage at the end - but felt better for it IYKWIM.

I lost 2.5 lbs last week which was the first week for ages I've followed the diet without cheating so I'm really pleased. I keep on saying to myself every time I'm thinking about eating something I shouldn't 'I've got dedication and determination and I'm going to get slim and fit' and so far it's working. WE'll see! Anyway Glitter, thanks for the RC info!! She sounds like she's gone a bit too far!

Am still having the Oat so Simple when I get home from work and it's gorgeous!! the apple one is really nice too but don't fancy vanilla - yuk!!

Hope you all have a good weekend. I've made it my mission to take the DSs to all the Manchester museums this summer - we've done the Museaum of Science and Industry and the Imperial War museaum so far - just need to think what to do this weekend now!

LOL M xxx

Well done Moniker!
Am impressed by the museum tour and the running.

Thanks Champs best bloater friend! am not feeling too lazy today!

See Champs you are much thinner than me! I am jealous! You are lovely too so maybe not the lazy bloaters club but the lovely ladies club!

Anyway am now in Dublin again and then on Saturday off to Italy for two weeks of (hopefully) sun, pasta and red wine!

How are you all doing?

Well done Moniker!! weight loss and excersize!!

Just had a fat shopping experience. looking for a wedding outfit, came back with lower self esteem and vow that this be the last year like this.... Dont worry will still be in bloater club till then

lol Champs. Things can only get better and dont forget we have the whole summer ahead of us to look great lying by the pool sipping our low calorie drinks through a pink straw and wearing little flouncy strappy dresses! Bloaters Rule!

Actualy once got v. drunk on holiday and had a jumping on the lilo competition and jumped into a stack of rubber rings and did a very good michelin man impression!

I am trying hard not to be jealous of your jetsetting lifestyle!!! LOL. Am in a diet duldge, where's your whip?

Dont be jealous you are thinner than me! lol It gets boring sometimes honest. Anyway the whip is out and I am giving the lazy bloater part a good thrashing !

Thank you beets for that lovely image best of all was our dhs trying to push and heave me back in the boat but I was laughing so much I couldnt move.

Obviously nowadays although no thinner I would be fitter so could pull myself up with my new imporved muscles on my arms.
