Continuation of our old thread!
Everyone welcome to join us

Have had another crappy week so far. Ds1 has been really poorly and has screamed for most of the week and I've been ill with a cold as well, so I've eaten far too much rubbish. Plus TOTM from hell this time too. Aargh.

Back on it tomorrow hopefully. I was doing well and now it's all gone to shit

[MillieMoodle]

Oops meant DS2. DS1 is on school holidays and has said "muuummyyyy" approximately 500 billion times today (and every day this week)

[Bibs2014]

I just ate a cadburys creme egg! But in my defence have been u since 4.30am with DS and I had to go to work! Def over syns! Gym tomorrow!

[Notsoskinnyminny]

Surprisingly I've somehow managed to.lose 3lb of last week's gain but it's probably due to dehydration because we drank too much last night. Started at 4pm and told DH 'won't be late' ha we were the last ones to leave the pub and my once is hoarse from so much talking. Went for an ikea breakfast to sober up!!

millie the constant mum and why used to drive me mad!

[Bibs2014]

Loooong day at work today

Menu

Shredded wheat, ss milk, fruit

Chicken, lettuce, tomato, cucumber, onion, sweetcorn. Popchips and a yoghurt.

Chicken in mayflower curry sauce with wholegrain pilau rice.

A few small choc eggs. Mini egg size!!

Off on hols today and I got to my target of 11.8. To celebrate I have had an m&S chocolate and toffee hot cross bun and some easter egg! I have also got several bags of percy pigs to keep me DS occupied during the flight. Starting as I mean to go on! Hope you all have a lovely Easter!

Have a lovely holiday Smell

I found out last night that I will be working in Portugal in June. The hotel we are based in is right on the beach. I will be the oldest woman there (51) and the only Brit so will be with younger Europeans who are less fussy about getting body out.

I have to do something now don't I?

I reckon I have 8 weeks to lose a stone, which would make me look more tolerable and enable me to wear some of my nicer clothes.

[Wenchelda]

Hello all I'm back from holiday and not really managed to keep up with you all while I've been away. I'm am not looking forward to getting on the scales to check the damage tomorrow - 5 days of food catered for me is bound to have taken its toll .... cooked breakfasts, afternoon cakes and yummy puddings every day will no doubt have piled the pounds on

[happypoobum]

Welcome back wench it sounds like you had a lovely time.

I am going to weigh myself tomorrow - not looking forward to it either. I managed to be good today and did an hours gardening. MFP tells me I have used 407 calories mowing for an hour - that cannot be correct surely?

I won't use the calories but it seemed off.

I put some hot cross buns in my shopping basket and then took them out again. I am trying to channel Kate Moss and keep telling myself "Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels."

[Wenchelda]

Ok so weighed this morning and holiday damage wasn't too bad considering the amount I've eaten - I'm 2lb up from last week. Need to get back in the calorie-counting mind frame ... however we are visiting the inlaws today and MIL always has loads of food out

[Bibs2014]

Lost a pound this week.

[happypoobum]

Well done you two!

I have lost 2lbs this week and am back to 11:10.

Need to keep it going downwards with no messing about this time.

I Kondo'd my wardrobe this morning and I was quite ashamed to see the amount of money I have spent on clothes, in a bid to look better, when all I really had to do was lose the weight.

Does anyone else do that?

[Lapinlapin]

Well done Bibs and happy

I've managed to lose 1lb this week.
Feeling a bit frustrated though, as really it's more like 10 days since my last weigh in, and I've been really good. Not snacked at all, and not had huge helping at meals either. One measly pound seems a small reward

I just keep thinking that once I eat chocolate egg again, I just can't see how I can maintain this. The weight's coming off so slowly and I'm impatient to see quicker results! I feel that I'm really eating way less than usual so can't understand why it's so slow.

Anyway, am sticking with it, as at least it's going in the right direction.

Wench hope you enjoyed the holiday.
Happy Portugal in June sounds great. Don't be put off by what you think the others are going to look like. But equally, it's good motivation!
I'll be aiming to lose a similar amount in the same time frame too.
I'm now 11.3 and would like to be 10.7 (or less!)

My comfortable weight was 10st to 10st7lbs for years. I'm desperate to get back it - it will be the first time since having the dc.

We can do this!

[happypoobum]

Thanks Lapin I hope all your good work pays off soon. I plateaued a couple of times and got really disheartened, but maybe next week you will lose 5lbs or something

A manageable weight for me to maintain is 10:3 so I would like to get to just below that if possible, and then that allows me a tiny bit of wriggle room. If I could lose a stone between now and mid June I would be so much happier.

We can do this!!!

[MillieMoodle]

Not had a very good week and just catching up on the thread, will comment properly later on, just commenting now so the thread comes back into my "threads I'm on" list!

Happy Easter everyone

[Wenchelda]

Happy Easter everyone

Official post-holiday weigh in this morning was 9st 10.5.

Today's food has been -

B - tea; pain au chocolat
L- flavoured latte; bacon lettuce & tomato roll. Small KitKat.

Not sure about dinner yet just got to resist the Easter eggs

[Notsoskinnyminny]

9st8 for me and up 3" but not surprised because I haven't stopped eating. Back in work on Tuesday and back on the wagon or I'll need a new frock for DDs graduation.

Happy Easter everyone

[MillieMoodle]

Hope everyone had a lovely Easter. I'm afraid I've eaten too much chocolate and haven't been near the scales for a few days

DH is back to work tomorrow and DS1 is back to school on Wednesday so I'll be back on it properly from them. Am running out of time before summer and I really don't want to feel too self conscious on holiday!

[Wenchelda]

Morning all - millie you're not the only one who's eaten too much chocolate

Getting dressed this morning made me realise I really need to buy some new clothes. All of my tops are baggy styles anyway, bought to hide all my lumps and bumps. And now I've lost weight (even though the lumps and bumps are still there - just slightly smaller! ) I look ridiculous. My clothes are swamping me and I look like a sack of potatoes

[Lapinlapin]

Wench that's brilliant!
I'm sure you don't look like a sack of potatoes, but it's far nicer to shop for new clothes because your others are too big. Much better than having to buy more because your current ones are too small!

It just shows you're doing really well with the diet.

I'm going to have to be really careful with mine. Loved being able to have some sweet stuff again on Easter Sunday, but already I'm falling into the trap of 'picking ' at bits.

[Flashinthepan]

Lapinlapin me too! I was indulging last week, in food in general, as was on holiday, so back to really healthy and small portion today, but have been tempted at work by a hot cross bun and a chocolate!

2 mile run and 30 day shred tonight plus other wise healthy meals should see me back at 10 st 4 by next weight in, back up to 10 st 5 at the mo.

[happypoobum]

I have been so good, but went back to work today and my assistant has bought me a huge fucking egg

It's too late to regift it now so I suppose I will just have to eat it all in one sitting

[MillieMoodle]

Somehow have managed to stay at 11st 5lbs despite all the chocolate I'm happy with that; I though I'd be back near 12st again!

DS1 is back to school today so am hoping to avoid snacking on junk and also get the house a bit cleaner and tidier! It looks like a bomb site so I need to get started ASAP.

[Bibs2014]

I've eaten waaaaayyy too much! Prob gained the 2lbs I have lost recently! Did go to the gym yesterday for half an hour but that probably burnt off only a fraction of the chocolate that I ate! Back on it today!

[happypoobum]

Never mind Bibs it is Easter!

Well done Millie

I got into a pair of size 12 jeans today!!!! Well, Ok, they were M&S size 12, but even so, I was really happy
