Forgot to add that Mini Eggs are my nightly treat. 16cals per egg so I save up or earn walking cals to either have 10 of them or a G&T.

Quim merci beaucoup for the elastic band analogy. I shall picture myself pinging all over the place after a weekend. Grin
And exactly User still lost a half pound!

Jealous of these holidays! And we're going to need a full report of any exciting occurrences on Hairsprays ...

Watching Superslimmers. Don't. Lots of people who went on drastic diets lost half their body weight and then put it back on again. Not cheering.

Good luck for the Wednesday weighers.

BOOP would you like my grip?

(Which now sounds rude and I'm sniggering like a teenage boy)

Why do you need a grip?

KikisDeliveryService · 14/02/2017 21:42

I have not stopped eating today. Some of it was healthy. .

Pass me one of those grips please?

Stellar67 · 15/02/2017 06:55

Sausage I've seen that programme and it annoys me. Okay if you have a small amount to lose for an event but not a good solution for long term.

I need to stop snacking at night. I'm so annoyed with myself. So good during the day then it all unravels when I sit down at the end of the day.

ArseyTussle · 15/02/2017 07:01

I'm having a weird whoosh, 1.5kg in the last few days, which takes me to 1.7kg loss for Feb so far! AND I'm sub 200lb for the first time in YEARS. Yay!

willhazboz · 15/02/2017 07:08

Hi can I join please?
I need to lose 4-5 stone eventually but I have my friends wedding in April and would really like to have lost a reasonable amount by then. I know it's half way through the month but I can't start in march! I just need to start now. I actually saw this thread on Monday and have been trying to be careful since then.
Unfortunately we are skint so can't do a big veg and healthy stuff shop till Friday.
Two babies in under 2 years ruined me!

ArseyTussle · 15/02/2017 07:13

Welcome will, good to have you with us. I'm aiming for 4 - 5 stone too, I think there may be a couple of us with quite a bit to lose. Do you have a plan?

Sausage, would it help to clean your teeth straight after dinner? That helps me if I can feel some grazing coming on.

lastqueenofscotland · 15/02/2017 07:17

Arsey that's brilliant
Well done

willhazboz · 15/02/2017 07:17

Not as such arseytussle. Kind of trying to low carb. So considering that every meal used to involve bread potato and cereal I've cut it down to just 1 carb-y meal a day. And move more!

ArseyTussle · 15/02/2017 07:24

Sounds good. I've cut out snacking, I'm making lower carb choices where possible and I'm doing 16:8. Plus running like stink.

BeyondUnderthinking · 15/02/2017 07:25

Well done arsey!! Sub 200 is my second goal after ive lost 12 lbs to bring me into 'overweight' ;)
Not weighed yet, still in bed Grin

KikisDeliveryService · 15/02/2017 07:31

Brilliant Arsey!

Today: no carbs and no snacking to mitigate me doing the complete opposite yesterday.

KikisDeliveryService · 15/02/2017 07:33

Welcome will!

ArseyTussle · 15/02/2017 07:43

You're tall aren't you, Beyond? I'm still firmly in the obese bracket at this weight.

HairsprayBabe · 15/02/2017 08:07

Morning all 11.13 again but not surprised as dinner was rather cheesetastic last night!

Feeling very under the weather today, sniffly, banging head, temperature and it feels like I have swallowed a cheese grater Sad wish I was still in bed but I have a horrible feeling I will feel worse tomorrow so I am soldiering on, quarantined from the rest of my team!

Softpebbles · 15/02/2017 08:09

Morning ladies

Two scale measurements this morning. This same and minus 1 so will use the stayed the same. I've not had a good week - been hard emotionally and feel like I need a good slap.
Yesterday had a cake at work -didn't then have lunch but not exactly healthy is it!
I'm out for an Indian on Friday - don't want to go 😫
BOOP it will click again. Stick with it.

Arsey yay on the whoosh.

Welcome Will.

Great day Kiki. 😊

BeyondUnderthinking · 15/02/2017 08:16

Weyhey - I'm only 1.2lbs away from my lowest weight on 1/12!! It's almost like the last two and a half months didn't happen!! Grin

BeyondUnderthinking · 15/02/2017 08:23

Yep arsey - I'm the thread giant!!
Does mean that all the lovely low numbers posted by some will never be in my reach though :(

HairsprayBabe · 15/02/2017 08:55

How many calories are in a Lemsip anyone?

ArseyTussle · 15/02/2017 09:00

It depends if you're using it to make a Lemsip Drizzle Cake.

Naughtysausage · 15/02/2017 09:06

MFP says 20

Naughtysausage · 15/02/2017 09:08

Also lemsip drizzle cake makes me never want to eat cake again.

Potentially we could market that as an effective weight loss tool.

Softpebbles · 15/02/2017 09:09

Lemsip Drizzle cake 😂

Get well soon hairspray. X

HairsprayBabe · 15/02/2017 09:10

What in gods name is a "Lemsip Drizzle Cake"? Ha enough to put one of cake for life!

Thanks sausage I feel rough as a badgers arse.
