Let's stay FEBulous #2! 7lbs off in a month thread

[BitOutOfPractice]

We've been so busy chatting we filled the old FEBulous thread here

All welcome to push on through for half a stone in February

Someone needs to put a lock on the office biscuits for my sake

Need to get my head back in the game!!

No snow here either thankfully. Blinking cold though. Be impressed with you dedication Arsey, even if you were partially thwarted - you gave it a good go.

Brilliant news Chard and Niki!

Stellar I have a ready stock of lines as they are needed frequently. I read something really interesting yesterday about the very non-linear nature of weight loss. Let me see if I can find it.

Glad you are seeing results niki! Happy birthday hairspray! 🎂
The kids sandpit is a goner. Conservatory is also sounding dodgy. But it's calmed down a bit now thankfully!

Oh and tea tonight is halloumi and veg with pitta bread (no bread for me!)
Hope the cow isn't dead!

Poor wee coo, hope it's just, er, having a lie down.

I couldn't find the article I read yesterday but this one is a similar idea - about plateaus, and the non-linear nature of our losses. [http://rebootedbody.com/weight-loss-crisis/]

Thanks pony. That is interesting and I was thinking, oh that's me, that's me...oh

My yoga teacher gave some good tips about pretending you are on a trapeze and in order to get to the next trapeze you have to let go of the negative. She also talked about letting go of body image/ego etc when we were doing shoulder stands, but all I could feel was that I could almost breastfeed myself.

Going to brave a run tonight... Heaven help me.
I might blow away...

all I could feel was that I could almost breastfeed myself... That would be me too!

Stay safe queen.

HAPPY BIIIIRHTDAAAAAY Hairspray, and WOWEE Niki and Chard!

Bloody brave job on the run Arsey - did you start a separate thread about the cow, I'm sure I saw one trending earlier? Hope there isn't an epidemic sweeping the country?!

I am bloody starving. And I have nothing exciting lined up to eat.

Harumph.

Stellar actually snorted on the train. Thank you for that.

Happy birthday hairspray hope you get lovely presents. I'm always more interested in other people's, proper nosey.

Still plateauing but have just read that article and I'm not worried by it. I'm just gently rubbing my hands together and muttering about summer dresses soon...

I did start a thread about the cow, I think on balance it's unlikely to have been dead.

NSV!!!!! Put on a pair of trousers that used to have a really tight waistband, and they're totally wearable!

Ooh that halluomi pitta sounds awesome.

Cant spell it though.

Is the cow actually dead? 🐄

That's an interesting philosophical question, Niki. It's not there any more, but does that mean it's alive, or dead?

Schrodinger's cow

I love it......cow is undead. But not dead dead. 🐄

Cor blimey, just got in from my 11K steps, I almost took flight at one point! Seems to be dying down where I am though.

I'm sooooo huuuuungry. I thought avocado was supposed to be Good Fat and therefore fabulously filling? It doesn't fill me up at all for all the calories!

hairspray happy happy birthday! I hope you have had a great day.

Well done Niki I'm jealous I used to have your dedication to the gym but now I barley have the motivation to set foot in the place

I am so tired. Will be a shit food night tonight as I've been on the bus for nearly 20 minutes and only gone two stops I am soo hungry I wonder if delivrroo make deliveries to buses.

Quim I had an avocado today and I felt the same. Unfulfilled.

Laughing at the undead dead cow.

I've put on 3.7lbs this week. why in the world am I bothering. I know it was a bit of shit week but how is that even possible. I just want to cry.

Morning all jetting off at midday today, just weighed in at 11.7 v surprised as I had 2 slices of cake and everything yestersday!

Now I feel horrible guilt about all the food I haven't eaten yet in Switzerland!

-3 lindas for the month now, hopefully I don't ruin it totally in the next few days!

Have a lovely time Hairspray - enjoy the food without too much guilt, if you do put on so be it, you know you can shift it again.

Hairspray have fun on holiday, remember you've come along way and can't put it all back on in a few days of indulgence.

Another Linda gone this morning so I'm one away from the half stone for the month and so nearly where I want to be at 9st. Please can I stay with you guys when I've finished?! This is my favourite thread in MN!

Oh no squiffy that's dispiriting. Can you draw a line on it and move on? I reckon it can be quick on quick off sometimes.

Hairspray have a fab time and enjoy the food and drink and you can be back on it asap when ou get back

Well done lasty Of course you can stay! We are all family here

Squiffy similar happened to me - it was just a blip and disappeared! Don't dwell on it just keep going!

Hairspray have a fab holiday. Not jealous at all.

And last yes! Stay for motivation! Can't believe you're nearly there! How much is that off in total?

Hairspray have an absolutely terrific time and for heaven's sake relax and blow the calories, it's your birthday trip to Geneva! And keep us... posted... won't you...? 💍👀🍾

Squiff I am so sorry about your gain, how bitterly disappointing for you. Any possible contributing factors? AF? Tiny bit bunged up? Had a boozey or salty day this week? In any case as BOOP says it's easy come easy go - it's surely not physically possible to gain over 3lbs of fat in a week, especially one that was just "a bit shit" and not one involving a bottle of wine and a cheeseboard for every meal! (I am pretty sure I did gain almost 4lbs of fat the week I did that in France a couple of years ago. I'd never thought to check the calories in saucisson )
