MFP to lose weight - Part 3

[Emz449]

Can't believe we've had to start a new thread already!

I'm on plan today and feeling good about it, this weight will go down! Still 10'13 this morning, not too disappointed. Hoping it'll go down with a good sleep or two over the weekend!

Thanks jonty, I'm a bit better this morning but throat still very raw. I actually think I may have reflux and the acid burned my throat, I've been dying with indigestion and had acid rise up a few times. Up since 5.30am baking cupcakes for a little party I'm having this afternoon, got to go make the icing for them now. Restricting myself to 1 choc a day has been my saviour, especially considering we got something like 5 tubs as presents on Sunday! Needless to say I very generously shared😁 Still have 2 left. Not weighing in today as have had tea while baking and knowing my luck I'd be 2lb up! Might hold off til Thursday - see can I behave

I am down to 10st 7.5 so 2lb off since yesterday. So stupid to eat so much over the weekend. I was utterly out of control - eating the DC''s leftovers and all sorts. Haven't done that in ages.

I had a good day yesterday though and I have another light day planned for today.

Hope you feel better soon Not2. And wow at getting up in the middle of the night to bake!

Hope you feel better too Not2, horrible being unwell at this time of year.

Sts this morning for me. It's all I want now though and it's all I can hope for with all the food that's being consumed at the moment! I'm heading back home tomorrow which will be nice but I'm not sure if there will be scales there I do hope so so I can keep on eye on things!

News flash - decided to not dodge the scales and I was 11.9.8 down from 11.10.4 - first weekend EVER that I lost weight!!! Ok, I feel like crap, work is dreadful, I'm considering killing my OH but I'm 11.9.8!!! As you were 😉

Emz take your scales with you! I am always going to travel with mine from now on. When I was away for a week it was just miserable not knowing what I was doing.

Hurray for Not2!!! Early Christmas present for yourself !!

Checked with my sister and she still has her pair!

She's decided that she wants to lose weight too so we're going to get sporty when I'm back

Oh god. Groan. I have just eaten TWO pieces of cake. How bloody unnecessary is that? I need a stern talking to. Give me a stern talking to, everyone.

I wasn't even hungry. I was hungry at 11am so I had my lunch early then just carried on eating.

Wagging finger sternly in imust's direction. Now missy get a grip (passing you one helpfully) Less of that! You're lovely & slim, too much sugar will make you bloated and pudgy! Will that do? 😘

No no I need lots more telling off I am up to an estimated 3500 today (HOW??!!) so counting what I just ate as dinner. Feeling very uncomfortable and full again. It is the time of year isn't it but I need to get a check on myself.

Right I have had a big word with myself and I am feeling a bit better. I am drinking lots of water. I will weigh in the morning and tell you guys the number. This is just a blip. A week long blip.

I think we're all prone to a touch of self sabotage from time to time imust, and it doesn't help that it coincided with the most foodie time of the year! You're my inspiration and I'm so young () and impressionable that it's your DUTY to be a good example for me 😁
Afternoon tea party done, hostess'ing my ass of again so didn't go too mad and I think I'm done eating apart from my advent choccie shortly. Oooh, all hopeful for Thursday/Goal day. I really really want this to be the first Christmas that I don't gain a dress size!

Thanks Not2 and we'll done on your hostessing. I know that you won't be gaining a dress size this year. You are rocking and completely in control.

I have had a bit of fresh air and nearly got blown away but feeling a bit better. Going to drink more water and have an early night. Tomorrow is a new start for me and I am going to sort myself out.

Morning all - hope to hear how everyone else is doing today as I'm on my holidays and will have loads of time to read 😁 Did a quick weigh in and now I'm at 11.9, down .8 from yesterday. Woke up starving though, it could be a trickier day than the last few - tbh they worked out great - have a kids party later that will have wine/sambo's/nibbles but I can work the room & catch up with people, don't necessarily have to guard eat all the food I guess? Tomorrow being the last day of advent culminates in a bigger chocolate treat (100g choc teddy) I'm thinking I'll donate it to the kids Christmas Eve treat box. The difference not guzzling chocolate this month has turned my weight loss around and I'm loathe to f* it up now. But I do know my DH has bought me fancy chocs as part of my present, might do a 1 choc a day with them, hmmm.
imust - hope today is a better day for you, you back on the good girl wagon?
jonty - any sleep yet? You feeling any better? I'm not too bad but still sore of throat, coughing a bit but nothing a days rest won't help
emz - great that you'll have support with your sister. I think our motto for the next week could be its all about the family not all about the food. I'm going to focus on smaller portions of yummy food with no snacks inbetween so every meal is mindfully/properly enjoyed.
And hi to everyone else! Where's the new recruits? Catch us up with your news

Stayed the same this morning! Really can't believe my luck this week. Expected a lb or 2 on but nope! Such a relief!

10st 11 this morning so an overnight gain of 4lb and a gain of 8lb from my lowest weight 6 days ago.

I have had 4 days of excessive eating. It stops now. This is completely my disordered eating rearing its head. I have eaten my normal breakfast and I have lunch planned. Going for a 1200 day because I don't want to get into a binge starve cycle.

Emz I think your body has found its home weight, the fact that you've had plenty of socialising and weight isn't increasing is such an achievement, well well done
imust I really hope you're not too down about the scales, 8lb isn't possible - just not, this is purely bloat/fluid. Yes maybe 2lb, I'd buy that but no way 8, you've have had to eat 1000's including your daily allowance, if we take the 3,500 a pound plus the 1,500 or so you'd need to stay the same, we're talking 40,000 calories! Today/tomorrow stay to 1,200 if you can, bet you 4-6lb will be gone by Friday. No punishing yourself or any further berating, done & dusted. You're back in the room 😉
I've decided not to go to the party today, I don't want anyone getting this lurgy I have & I'm not up for too many people in a small space. I'm resting it out, and starting to think about how I can back to exercise once I feel better, I love planning!

Thanks Not2, that helps. I am feeling okay today. I am back on it I think. I was lonely yesterday which is a trigger for me but I'm not on my own today or obviously for the next few days!

Also yesterday was very salty and sugary so lots of water today.

Plus I have my small trousers on and they still fit fine with plenty of room so I know I haven't suddenly ballooned in size.

Well there you go then! Your clothes are a better measure of weight than a stupid mean old scales. Glad to hear you sound a little brighter, a slip up can make you stronger.

I am on track so far today. Healthy dinner planned. Have a bit of a headache so early night.

On the train back home! Wasn't exactly the best today but could have been worse, steak with salad for lunch today and then came afterwards.... Whoops! Meeting my boyfriend off the train and having a liquid dinner! Looking forward to seeing him. Going out for dinner tomorrow too, will it ever end! I've packed my gym things with all the best intentions in the world

I've made quite the pig of myself - me and a load of Chinese. Oh well ☺️ I think I might accept today's weight as my Christmas goal which is 7.2lb down from when we started around the 24th of November. I think I'm too scared of salt bloat to worry myself with a bad weigh in. Back to the scales on Saturday I reckon.
Have a lovely time with your boyfriend emz, can't believe it's nearly Christmas!

Imust well done for hanging in there.
Not2b sounds like a plan
Emz it's Christmas, don't worry for a couple of days.
I weighed in At 10.5, so maintaining exactly, but no losses. It just makes it even more clear to me how much I need to be running in order to get and keep my head in the right space for losing weight. I'm not worrying about the diet for today, Christmas Day or Boxing Day, so back on the scales on Monday actually I reckon, when I can hopefully then go straight out for a run and get myself motivated Again. Merry Christmas everyone!

Well done Not2 on your 7.2lb loss. That is amazing in a month!

I am nearly a lb down since yesterday so okay with that. I have a lot of last minute Christmas preparations to get done today so maybe I will burn off a bit more!
