Hey y'all!

BOOP was that 442 calories? That's really not so bad shared out between two of you, I still absolutely salute you for the diet pizza and the tiny wine, and so worth it for a lovely evening! As I said - priorities are bang in order.

Spurious another one here who thinks 4lb is terrific, and there's still a week and a half of the month left to boost it to 5!

Bloody marvellous losses to Hairspray and Beyond too - you're heroes.

I'm going to drag my pale shivery self out for a weigh-in (and a dentist's appointment - joy of joys) so please all keep your fingers crossed for me Smile

BitOutOfPractice · 18/11/2016 12:33

Everything crossed Quim. Are you still feeling ropey?

I've been on the world's longest and fullest conference calm all morning with only pineapple to sustain me. I'm amazed I'm not a size 0 to be honest

QuimReaper · 18/11/2016 12:41

I feel ROTTEN. Freezing, shaking, woolly-headed and nose going like a tap Sad

You're going to be a size 0 by next bleddy week the way you're going Grin

Lubilu28 · 18/11/2016 14:04

So happy another 1lb 1/2 off!! I'm so glad I listened to u all it's dropping off me now :D

Lubilu28 · 18/11/2016 14:05

Hope u feel better soon quim my baby boy is just coming out the other side of a nasty cold so no doubt I will be next 😱 X

QuimReaper · 18/11/2016 14:49

Hate to say I toldjaso Lubi so instead I'll just say WELL BLOODY DONE! Grin

Well, I've lost a little bit. 0.3kg to be precise, so under a pound. Bit disappointing but last week was almost 1.5lb so I guess it evens out... Last week was after 3 consecutive "good" days and I was naughty on Tues this week, so maybe that's it. Also had a vair naughty Sunday.

Oh well - the trajectory is still downward, and I still might see 4lb for the month which I'd be pleased with!

BitOutOfPractice · 18/11/2016 17:33

Excellent news quim.

The bf has just suggested going out for dinner. Of course I stoutly resisted for as long as possible I didn't at all

So now I need you all to shout at me to go I the gym. Do it in unison. 1-2-3 GO YOVTHE GYM BOOP

QuimReaper · 18/11/2016 17:40

GO. TO. THE. GYM.

NOW.

(p.s. I'm having sticky toffee pudding and I'm not even sorry Grin )

BitOutOfPractice · 18/11/2016 18:40

I'm at the gym. Just weighed myself in a he scales here and it's saying I'm 1.5lbs lighter than at home. I'm taking that.

QuimReaper · 18/11/2016 22:29

BOOP! Grin Fantastic news! The gym scales are SO much more likely to be accurate, surely?

BitOutOfPractice · 18/11/2016 23:17

Yes. They is scientific innit?

That's what I decided. I did a sad middle aged woman fist pump. I'm not ashamed

Bunnyjo · 19/11/2016 07:41

Weighed myself this morning and am 12st 5lb, so that's a very tiny loss of 0.5lb for the week and 3.5lb for the month. Feeling very disheartened, as I have kept to 1200Kcal or less and done a fair few 5 mile walks. Maybe part of the reason is AF is around the corner, so I think I've got pre-menstrual bloat starting to kick in.

Ho hum, a loss is a loss I guess... Well done to all 'losers', and I'm hoping the weekend is kind to you all.

QuimReaper · 19/11/2016 12:14

Bunnyjo come join me on the "less than a pound" bench, let's keep our fingers crossed for a bigger one next week!

I would LOVE to smash through another kg bracket by the beginning of December.

ponygirlcurtis · 19/11/2016 12:17

Happy Saturday to you all. Some great losses - Quim hope you are feeling better soon.

I have had an okish week - eating has been ok and have reigned in the wine somewhat. As a result I seemed to have stopped bouncing and am fixed on the 11st 4-something mark - but the digital scales do this thing where they hover on the 2 then 3lb before settling, I am hoping that is a good sign! I also have just started my period so to be honest there's not much point weighing for a few days.

Just had a lovely breakfast - scrambled egg, mushrooms and bacon (done in the oven). That will keep me going till teatime.

BeyondTheHarpy · 19/11/2016 12:20

Just weighing in, stayed the same. Having a nice long fast this morning as I am Nil by mouth ready for surgery. Would kill for some water!!

BitOutOfPractice · 19/11/2016 12:42

Oh good luck beyond. When do you go into theatre?

Hello everyone and to the slow losers and STSers, keep going!

Things I have learned today: peanut butter is very calorific. I mean I knew it was, but blimey when you actually log it, it's eye watering

HairsprayBabe · 19/11/2016 17:29

Hi all was 12.7 this morning but am going for a curry and to the pub tonight so it might not be so gopd tomorrow!

BeyondTheHarpy · 19/11/2016 18:49

I'm out, went in not long after I posted. I have downed nearly three litres of water already Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 19/11/2016 20:39

Oh I wish you a speedy recovery beyond. If you've had something removed you might've lost weight!

The wheels have fallen off here today. Went for lunch with my sister. Oops

ponygirlcurtis · 19/11/2016 20:51

Speedy recovery, Beyond.

BeyondTheHarpy · 19/11/2016 21:42

I had olives and cheese when I woke up, then ham and salad. Went a bit off piste with cake and custard, but then had a punnet of raspberries to make up for it. Have had two cups of my new green tea (apple and black currant) which is rather nice, now watching a film and hopefully sleeping soon.

BeyondTheHarpy · 19/11/2016 21:43

They did lop off a bit of tissue BOOP, it might be worth a few ounces Grin

Bunnyjo · 20/11/2016 08:19

Beyond, wishing you a speedy recovery and I hope you're feeling OK this morning. Well done, BOOP and Hairspray, on your losses. Pony, I feel your pain with impending AF and thank you, Quim, for the reassurance.

I was still feeling annoyed this morning, so decided to stand on the scales again. I'm delighted to say that the scales showed 12st 3.5lb. That's a 1.5lb loss from yesterday, which seems unlikely, but is closer to what I would have expected to be (taking into account my physical activity and dietary intake). That makes a total loss of 5lb for the month and 32.5lb since I started at the very end of August.

Next big target is to be 11st something, which will hopefully happen over the next few weeks...

HairsprayBabe · 20/11/2016 10:25

Morning all, little delicate today
Had curry and 1/4 of a naan out for dinner last night so far not so awful, then went to the pub and split 3 bottles of wine with a friend.... oops

12.8 this morning so not awful, plus AF arrived so hopefully any water retention will woosh off in the next few days!

BeyondTheHarpy · 20/11/2016 10:29

I am thank you bunny, just waiting to hopefully be discharged (though hopefully after lunch Wink )

Curry and naan and wine sounds good hairspray, I'm jealous!!
