I have 10 stone to lose overall. There, I said it. No going back now. I miss riding my horse, I miss being happy and I have a toddler that doesn't want a sweaty elephant for a mum.
Anyone want to join me for some moral support?

Has anyone done a meal plan for next week? I could do with inspiration!
So far I'm having veg frittata for tea today as I have eggs to use up, and I'm making SW soup to take to work. If I make it on Monday evening will it still be OK to eat Friday lunchtime just stored in fridge or will I need to freeze?

Bocolatechiscuit · 03/01/2016 10:03

Thank you for doing that Arkkorox. I have now requested to join too!

I'm just eating everything in sight today to get it out of the way-told my partner 'it's my last day so expect me to stuff my face!' I have all sorts of chocolates, crisps, cheese...I could well be a couple of lbs heavier tomorrow but I'm not missing this fun bit before it all gets serious tomorrow! 🙈

flyright · 03/01/2016 10:14

atsea your soup will be fine for the week. I do that and it's a good way of keeping on track at lunch with a few crispbreads

flyright · 03/01/2016 10:15

arkkorox sorry you're not well. Hope you feel better soon. You're doing sterling work!

errorofjudgement · 03/01/2016 10:27

Still reading my way through the thread but please can I join too?
Looking to lose prob 5 stone, and joining a SW group tomorrow so will be starting and weighing in on the 4th
I've also asked to join the FB group

fohamy12 · 03/01/2016 11:00

Can I join too? Lost 4.5 stone last year, got obsessed with running on treadmill, weighing every day, more than once and of course the inevitable happened and I put 3.5 stone back on in just a few months!
So started on new years day, doing an unofficial kind of low carb slimming world and committed to walk every day.
Would really love to join in with you allSmile

fohamy12 · 03/01/2016 11:01

By the way have at least 5 stone to lose

Arkkorox · 03/01/2016 11:10

Im going to put the group back to secret at 11:15. If anyone wants to join after that just shout.

Thank you! Made it Grin

SaoirseLikeInertia · 03/01/2016 11:47

Dh has man flu so has decided that he is bed bound. Upside- I have place to myself to sort out my fridge, esting plan, tidy kitchen eat all the crisps

Downside- well obviously the world is about to end as the enormity of DH having a cold will cause it to implode apparently

Arkkorox · 03/01/2016 11:51

Saoirse Grin

Well I'm 4lbs down this morning. Thanks stomach bug!

Bazarredebazarre · 03/01/2016 11:58

All the best with the fridge Saoa.

Temped to suggest you put DH in the fridge to get him to man up about what 'cold'really means. Just give DH a hot water bottle and a paracetamol whilst he's snuggled under the covers and remember that when it's your turn he'll have to do the same. Grin

Bazarredebazarre · 03/01/2016 12:04

Jealous Arkk

FattyNinjaOwl · 03/01/2016 12:17

ark did you do a big poo? Grin

scarednoob · 03/01/2016 12:18

I have requested it! I am 0.5lbs heavier than I was before Christmas. Which is fine until i look at the starting number. Bring it on!

SaoirseLikeInertia · 03/01/2016 12:25

Bazarredebazarre to be fair, he's very good at looking after me. He's just a crap patient

Haven't braved my scales yet. I am guessing 15st 7 going by my clothes.

LittleMiss77 · 03/01/2016 12:33

See ark

Nothing like a tummy bug to help things along Grin

NatalieJane83 · 03/01/2016 12:45

Anyone looked into Juice Plus?

Arkkorox · 03/01/2016 12:48

I will trade the 4lbs for this. It's vile! Would happily have the 4lbs back. You watch I'll put it back on when I'm better lol

OP posts:
jorahmormont · 03/01/2016 12:54

Natalie I have a friend who sells Juice Plus... the results look incredible but I think it's a very expensive thing as they say you have to keep going with the capsules etc long-term, so it works out really pricey.
