Happy New Year Slenderistas.

Let's move away from the Christmas bugger and ditch Linda for good.

Woohoo I'm 3lbs down in 2 days and my kerostix says I'm in ketosis (albeit only a mild reading).

If only the weight loss continued at this pace!! After this week I'll struggle to shift 1lb a week.

Well done everyone :-)

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 09:19

Hurrah for all the weight loss! Well done everyone. I was also 2 Lindas down this morning!

Boo! I am Jealous of the 2 linda crew! Although the scale did hover between 12.5 and 12.6 for a while before deciding on 12.6 so it might be a 1.5lb loss?

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 09:37

Oh yes I is in da two Linda crew

Does this backwards baseball cap suit me?

I'm up another 2 Linda's. I am not starting to be good till Monday. Though the calendar is telling me I intend to go to the gym tonight. I'm still not well from the sinus thing and a day with a 3 year old and a 1 year old is finishing me off by 5 pm.

We are going to have slimming world meatballs and a healthy homemade tomato sauce for dinner (with as many veggies as I can hide in it) and most of my eating is back to being good. And then in the evening I am eating chocolate and short bread. Just the open ones. Till they are gone.

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 09:46

Oh no mummy you are still poorly? Get well soon Thanks

Sinusitis here too mummy, though I'm seeing if it gets better on its own atm. Bloody crap Flowers

I'm still up four Linda's don't be too jealous Grin

PurpleDaisies · 04/01/2017 10:01

I've been on the scales and I'm down this morning too-1.3kg or 2 Lindas 13 er, ozzies? I'm very pleased.

PurpleDaisies · 04/01/2017 10:02

Sinusitis is absolutely miserable. Sending Flowers to all who need them.

Mummyreindeerlegz · 04/01/2017 10:05

Thank you, it feels like it's getting better and then is rubbish again. Sympathy to the sinusitis crew.

Golden morning here - 5k rowing and 20 mins swimming all before breakfast and caffeine! Minor annoyance at fitbit not autologging swimming as I wasn't counting lengths and not letting me log the rowing distance and allocating me far less, but hey it's given me it as a step count instead and awarded me lots of active minutes

Lindas are stable at post-fast weight which is brilliant and hopefully means tomorrow's fast will do some good work.

Sympathies to the sickies. I'm surrounded by it at home so I'm trying to do some good work while I feel well in case it smacks me down in a few days.

QuimReaper · 04/01/2017 11:50

Wow, amazing Linda losses Beyond, Chardonnay, BOOP and Purple! I'm including you too Hairspray.

I've lost track of who's Dry Janning, BOOP, Chardonnay and Archie, anyone else...? I must say Archie, as others have said, going Dry in midwinter when everyone else is is one thing, but you are a star for doing it over the summer hols! I'd be holding off til Dry June if I were you! Although there are just as many arguments for curling up with a glass of wine when it's dark and rainy, so it makes no odds really. How's the bite today?

teapig can you "feel" it?

KikisDeliveryService · 04/01/2017 11:56

Gym mirrors in changing room were terrifying today. In my head I am only a little bit blobbier than my mental image of me at my leanest and fittest. The truth is not pretty. My thighs are storing enough blubber for several lean winters. Right, motivation sorted! Onwards and downwards (on the scales)!

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 12:10

I've just told a client I'm dry January-ing and he laughed. Cheeky bugger. I will show him!

teaping · 04/01/2017 12:10

Hehe no i def can't 'feel' it but I do feel better! Still hugely overweight and blubbery but the bloated-oh-my-goodness-I've-eaten-too-much feeling that I've had for the last 2 weeks has eased and I feel in control. Just need to be able to stick to this until my wedding. Eeeeeeeeeeeeek!

The rowing machine I ordered for my Jan health kick has just arrived too so I'm gonna have to start actually using it....starting tonight! Gulp!

So impressed with you ladies who make it out of the house and to the gym before work....!

KikisDeliveryService · 04/01/2017 12:48

teaping I don't work on Wednesdays! I wouldn't be able to manage a gym trip before work. Have fun with the rowing machine! It's a good workout - I'm meant to do extra glutes stuff for physio purposes and it ticks that box well.

QuimReaper · 04/01/2017 13:02

BOOP the only time I even half-resolved to DJ I didn't mention it to anyone in case I failed, which of course gave me carte blanche to fail at the first opportunity Blush

The only way to succeed is surely to advertise it!

HairsprayBabe · 04/01/2017 13:08

I don't know if I will be fully DJing (gosh aren't we street with our crews and DJ's). I just remembered I am hosting a Hen Party of a girl I don't like later in the month and I don't think I can handle that, or her sober!

And I know I shouldn't have offered to host for her, but I was very pissed at the time and trying to be nice, I thought she would say no, I was very clearly only being polite!

QuimReaper · 04/01/2017 13:20

DJin' for the Linda Crew Grin

Good golly Hairspray how on earth did that come about if you dislike her so much?! I assume you;re not a bridesmaid or anything?

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 13:26

Hairspray you could have done fun with that Grin

Anyone thinking that less calories = greater stupidity?

Today I have:
Tipped pasta down myself
Tipped water down myself
Tipped a full eye pencil sharpener full of shavings over myself
Nearly dropped DD
Forgot where I parked

I'm now away swimming. Hopefully that'll recalibrate my brain.

Weighing tomorrow.

ponygirlcurtis · 04/01/2017 13:33

I am a couple of pounds down I think, after 2 good days. Another pound till I am at my December starting weight. Smile

BitOutOfPractice · 04/01/2017 13:44

Pony I am also a pound away from December starting weight. So frustrating to have to lose it all again
