Onward Slenderistas! MARCHing as to Phwoar! The lose 7lbs in a month thread

[BitOutOfPractice]

Welcome to a brand new shiny thread to help us all onwards and downwards through March.

Here's a link to the last February thread

Clothes are weird. I've just been looking up clothes sizes online. My Coast strapless dress is a size 12. The website says their size 12 bust measurement is 36.6 inches. My bust measurement is 41.5 and I can get the zip most of the way up. It's tight, and I need to lose at least 2 or 3 inches, but it's no way 5 inches too tight! I'm not measuring my waist, though - there has been too much sticky toffee pudding consumed! Will try again in the morning. DH has lost my dressmaker's measuring tape, though, so I'm measuring using an old belt and then using a metal tape measure to measure that.

Apparently a size 12 is 37/30/39 in Asos, 36/29/38 in Topshop and 36.25/29.5/39.5 in M&S.

Oooh I've not had a good weekend 🙈
Dh is away and been stuck at home with the kids. And eaten. Not bad stuff but more than I've eaten for weeks. Feel huge and really cross with myself as it's 2 days till I go away with Boop and don't feel fabulous anymore 😩
Got to have 2 hardcore days of protein shakes to get back on it... before 4 days of eating/drinking...
Gahhhh why do I do it to myself???

I've had a mixed weekend. After the BMI euphoria of Friday I went on a bit of a bender on Friday night, golden day yesterday and a mixed bag today. Food great but booze on top.

I got a big load of "too small" clothes down from the loft yesterday and spent several hours trying them all on today. It's like having a whole new wardrobe. Fuck knows where I'm going to keep it all.

I'm packed Chard. Are you?

I had an ok weekend, although I think I have some kind of a virus which is leaving me exhausted. It's a long weekend here (HOORAAAAYY), so have got today to loaf about doing sweet stuff all. Might take the kids to the flicks if I can work up the energy.

DH leaves on Wednesday for his mammoth bike ride across Australia - 5,500kms non-stop (weirdo) so am facing 3 weeks of just me + kids + dogs + chickens + fish + work + everything else.

Any nice surprises in the 'too-small-clothes' BOOP?

Or all shiny shirts from the 80's

Oi! Cheeky! It's not that long it almost is since I was slimish. I threw about a third out. The rest I can live with. Mostly dresses. Let's just say I have my big birthday and my mom's big birthday covered now

Sorry BOOP I was thinking of all my teeny weeny clothes that I wore when I was 19. I think one of those skirts would make a lovely neck warmer these days.

I woke up on Sunday with a wrecked shoulder. Painful even to the touch. i wonder if ive gymmed too much.

niki hope you haven't done damage, you work so hard at the gym. Have you few rest days and see if that helps.

Pizza, pasta and gelato overload! Venice was fab! So tired and exhausted dH and I fulll of a cold but forced ourselves out of bed to explore.

I'm aiming for four golden days to try and limit damage.

I know my weekend wasn't ideal but I hopped on the scales and 140 I've put on four pounds in a fucking week!

Someone give me a big slap please

I'm 90% packed, just got to iron and put clothes in 😁 Got 2 more days at work to get through and then it's party time 🍾🌞👙

What about a couple of fast days this week keepon?

for today Cheddar. Xx

Argh, lost my post.

Just to say I'm in hiding the shame corner after a gluttonous weekend where I broke my crisp promise and had some. Along with everything else.

Hope you are okay Niki.

Morning all. Just catching up on the train ride in.

Niki and Hairspray you look fab! Ever so pleased for you.

Last I'm in a very similar boat. Put on 3lbs over the weekend. Something to do with cheesecake unfortunately. Am going to have a very well behaved week.

last hopefully your gain was like mine a couple of weeks ago just random then dropped off agin the next week.

Fingers crossed!! I've not been golden but I've definitely not had enough to justify that!

11.6 this morning, not as bad as I thought it was going to be TBH still on a minus for the month after eating all the food in the world on Saturday!

Going for a full 24hr fast today, attempted it yesterday but visited my mother so that went out of the window!

Last ate at 5:15 yesterday, next meal will be tuna steak with puy lentils and green beans this evening, with lots of water and herbal tea in the meantime, if I am really struggling I will have a sparkling water at lunch time.

i might have a weigh in today...i feel like death. the old depression from my situation is creeping back.

i just got out of bed. couldnt face it.

Ah I am another with a gain and definitely don't feel like its warranted at all. Running 3 times in last week, PT session and I am a lb up.

Really struggling with my digestion though Anyone else get a little blocked sometimes!

I am really hoping that I am due a whoosh.....

Keepon I am for 1400, I am also trying to not eat exercise calories back.

Stay with us, we can do together, I need to shift this 17lbs. X

Would it help any of us that are struggling to post what we are eating? I know it helps me and also sometimes I find it beneficial but I don't want the thread to be clogged - perhaps we could just add at the end of what we are posting? Thoughts....
