We want to lose 10lbs *NEW THREAD*

[loopity]

A nice new thread for us all and for anyone else who wants to join in our 10lb challenge

Mrs Fish - That sounds like a GREAT idea.

Have another weigh-in on Tuesday ... [we really need a frightened emoticon!]
Everything I did 2 weeks ago is now becoming apparent on my body ... ... and that was milk chocolate toffee time ...

Gym today: Burned 600 calories.
My upper arms no longer rub painfully against my shirt when I run ... but my upper thighs do.

Food today:

Bfast = Double oatmeal (2 packets, apple spice) with 10g protein powder.
Slice of pumpkin bread.
Lunch = 1 piece of vegetable pizza &
large glass chocolate milk (3+ cups)
Dinner = large mug of spiced apple cider (2+ cups) &
huge bowlful of green beans.
2L water through the day.

Morning all

How are you all?
Yesterday's food
Breakfast - slice of soda bread and butter
Lunch - boiled egg, slice of wholemeal toast
Dinner - Roast gammon, champ, roasties, gravy, carrots and broccoli
Snacks - 2 mini crunchies and 2 mini flakes (lo's got a selection box after taking part in church nativity yesterday, dd and ds1 were a shepherd and an innkeeper - we got stuck into the chocs as soon as we got home )
Had 2 glasses of wine last night too.

Going to ring gym now and book creche so that I can have a swim. Then some manic shopping for rest of presents before school run starts.

BTW Mrs fish, good idea. Shall we just pop in here for a chat for the next week or two to keep thread going and then go for it from 1st Jan

Well done snorkle

I was showing 3 up this morning rather than the 4 from friday, so all in all I have lost only 4 pound, poor show

Will really go for it in the New Year, am definitely up for still posting over the next couple of weeks, and then we can start a brand new thread from Jan 1st.

Well done snorkle and dislexie for a loss this week

I'm stuck at 4.5lbs off. But had good swim today and going again on wed and thurs.

Is everyone ready for Christmas yet? I have Dh's family coming on Xmas day so will be cooking for 23, help!! [stressed out emoticon]

Bloody hell 23!

Are you mad?

I have a very easy 5 to cook for

Yes, insane, will prob need copious amounts of g&t's to get through the day Mrs Fish

Hi everyone
Hope you all doing well. Stuck in house this morning with 2ds's - ds1 has another upset stomach. Next few days are going to be manic getting the food in and last minute pressies Weather freezing here too - loads of fog, no snow yet

Been out and about today, ds had his nursery Xmas party this afternoon which was nice.

Been very cold, icy and foggy here all day today, it was very pretty first thing this morning with it all white over with frost.

I dread to think how much weight I am going to put back on over xmas/new year

Hello
Looking foward to christmas everyone? Not long now.
Iv'e been baking with my mum all week, lots of yummy treats. I'm going to gain so much over christmas. I'm trying to be good untill Christmas Eve just so the damage isnt too bad...
Although up untill today from last fri I have been stuffing my face just can't seem to resist.
Hows everyone else doing? Are we having a weigh in on fri or just leaving it untill Jan the 1st?

I reckon leave it till Jan now and we can see how much we've all put on in 3 weeks

I bet I win

Hi all
Not even getting on scales as too too scary
I am shattered, running around all day sorting out last minute pressies. Veg order has just been delivered thank goodness - just a manic trip to m&s and sainsbury's tomorrow for the last of the perishables. Then I am staying home, lighting a big, roaring fire and drinking bailey's all weekend while I wrap gifts.

Just ordered Indian takeaway

sigh ... we're so hard on ourselves aren't we!

fabulous - NO!! Very overweight - NO! but heavier than i was or want to be - YES !! xx

Hi all! Welcome to the new people Trying to lose post-baby weight as well.

Had a wonderful Christmas & hope y'all did too. Last weigh-in went much better than expected, as didn't gain anything from that horrible (read: too delicious) candy sent by otherwise very well-intentioned friends as a gift ...

On the bad side, for 5 days now have had a stomach virus!! So, I feel nearly normal, until I eat anything ... then feel extremely nauseated!! What a way to lose weight, eh?

Feeling like this has temporarily stopped gymming, so no new weigh-in this week ... daily menu has been nearly nothing since Wed., and worst is, afraid I'm now "training" my metabolism to slow down ...
