On the way to losing a stone with Codswallop: progress to date

[JanZ]

Here's anew thread for Coddy's recruits.

The old thread is here

For the record, I started out (May 19) at 11 stone 2 and am now 10 and a half stone A total loss of 9 pounds

Coddy's potential wrath has been inspirational! Plus of course the support of the rest of you (although the thread does go quiet at times).

coddy - why do you keep bringing hints of food near us dieters???

coddys day so far:

breakfast- bran lfakes and banana
half a croissant ( too boring to explain why, notnormally on my menu!)

Lunch- salad , dressing and a hard boiled egg
2 mini choc muffins

supper chicken pomodoro
wine

wk's day so far;

one slice of toast thinly spread with peanut butter and with a banana on top
one apple

half a (big) bowl of sugar-free jelly (throughout the day)

one sausage roll (sis bought it for me for lunch)

4 rice cakes

no dinner....as yet

What do you think coddy?

very good but slighlty odd!

bear in mind it hasn't been a typical day - I've just felt very fat today with "lardy arse" resounding in my head!!! If I ate like that every day I'd be a size 8!!!

cant you do that but have a mroe balanced lunch? do you work?

I usually do have a far more balanced diet than that!! I don't work (yet) but I had loads to do today so just grabbed what I could when I could.

what would be a good lunch?
have you time to empty abag of salad adn say some ham or tune or an egg?
i do mine in a huge pyrex bowl and it takes ages to eat

mmmm, sandwiches!!!

A typical day at the moment would be;

2 slices of toast with peanut butter or jam (no butter, not allowed )
Piece of fruit

Fruit/veg to snack on

Sandwich or some pasta with tomatoey type sauce and veg

Meat, potatoes or rice and veg

Please help me ladies. I went on my holiday to France and ate everything in sight, some things hidden in cupboards and then some more things and then chips etc etc
I went away at 10.5 and now I'm 10.10
I'm distressed and need to restart my efforts to get down to under 10 stone.
I've had a low fat yogurt and a banana for breakfast.

hi everyone - been giggleing away at TC and WK's exchanges
3 sguars TC !! - wait till coddy reads that!!
I've l ost 11lbs so far and I havn't been that good (wine!)
My tips are to avoid snacking - as WK said it is suprising what creeps in!!
Have a good breakfast - cereals and bananna do work and this is from the Queen breakfast skipper who grabs a handful of biscuits at 10.30!!!!
Welshmum - eat a filling breakfast, salald and a protein for lunch, snack on fruit, and not too much carbohydrate in the evening!
I've got 7lbs to loose in 4 weeks so need to get my act together....
right, off to eat my branflakes now (nice - not!)

10 stone 6 this morning But not really been feeling well this week - been struggling in to work, when really I should have taken the time off and curled up in bed.

Anyway, that's 10lb now from the start.Should break 10 stone before the end of the month Clothes are noticeably looser

Well after dropping from 11.3 to 10.13 in the first week I'm having a terrible time at the moment and both comfort and binge eating... help... how do I stop this when I feel so miserable and then stuffing my face then feeling worse cos I'm putting on weight again

The other night I ate a full dinner, half a packet of buscuits, half litre of ice cream, 6 pack of petit filous mini deserts, 4 fat free yogurts and dds packet of smarties... I am disgusted and ashamed of myself but that doesn't seem to stop me. That by the way was everything sweet that I had in the house, once it had all gone I had 2 hot chocolates and contemplated making flapjacks but forced myself to go to bed instead

What should I do? I've told you all in the hope that writing it down and telling someone will shame me into stopping

oh for gods sake you huge porkers

stop eating so much

I am to bord tor ead your crappy self justification!

eerr slightly nervous to join in on this one, sounds like you already all know each other.(or intimidating)..here goes- hi, guys, reading this thread as a reasonably new MN'er, sounds hilarious, also quite inspirational!, well done ladies,ME- 'just turned 40, a size 18 (13 stone ish- i suppose- no scales allowed in house) BC- 10 stone, quite active- not "too" bothered by size- sort of built an image in mind that says thats ok, do eat healthy, Friends too polite to call me "lardy" which i presume I really am- eerr...can I join in for a bit of bullying and inspiration.. ?

this is you lot

( and me sometimes!)

CODDY - you crack me up so much!!! I do NOT look like that thankyou!!!! Much more like this these days - honest!!!! And I'm not a huge proker, and I hardly eat anything these days, and barely ever try to justify it....blub blub

janz - sounds like you're doing well, don't beat yourself up!!!

fizog - just keep posting on here and soon coddy will have a go at you so much that the weight will drop off just through pure fright!!!

jema - we were all new once but now we all get on SO well (stop glaring at me coddy) - just go ahead and join in. Am sure coddy will bully you much more than the rest of us could but to start you off;

• for inspiration - "I can lose weight and I WILL"
• for bullying - "I am a big fat lardy arse"

Bugger the link didn't work - try this and scroll down to the pic.

And I meant to say I'm not a PORKER, although I'm not a proker either!! Coddy - your bad spelling is contagious!!!
