703 replies

Sparkler1 · 08/03/2007 21:40

Can I start a new thread? Hope you don't mind.
Just had a really bad weight gain at group tonight and need a fresh start. Thought a fresh new thread would help.
After a 6lb weight loss last weeek have just had a bad weigh in with a gain of 3 1/2lb. .
So tomorrow is a new day, start of a new week and I am going to work hard at it!!!
Who wants to join me for a good week ahead?

Summer is on it's way and we are all going to look good!

BAHB, do you usually gain weight when you have your AF? I think that's what was wrong the last time I weight on, even though I knew I had been 'good' all week.

I have taken up walking every day, about 3 miles, with ds in his buggy. If all I have to show for it this week is a huge blister under my big toe I shall be very upset

fireflyfairy2 · 06/04/2007 19:43

Well Done, rachfran

How much have you lost so far??

rachfran · 06/04/2007 20:34

Lost 8lbs in two weeks but I am going on holiday tomorrow to Spain. I am in holiday mode and just ate 2 chocolate bars! Going to try to have green days on holiday and eat as many veggie meals as possible.
I want to lose at least 2 stome by july

fireflyfairy2 · 06/04/2007 21:10

I'd love to have 2 stone off by July too!

We're off on holidays on the 6th [I think!!]
& I would love to have that off. my target is just under 2 stone now so hopefully I can be a good way to having the weight off by then. Was just thinking today that last time I lost the weight was at ww & I lost 2 stone in 8 months.... but it was very very slow for me, I lose weight at the average rate of 1/2lb - 1lb per week.

BethAndHerBrood · 06/04/2007 21:57

My periods haven't really settled down after having DS2 yet, so they're not regular. But when I think the last time it started I gained as well. They always start on a thursday afternoon!

I have just had a load of fruit and a mullerlite. I am determined to lose some this week!

fireflyfairy2 · 06/04/2007 22:24

I have run out of pineapple. Usually at night I have a few rings of pineapple sliced up with grapes & a muller light. So will have to get one tomorrow

Had pasta & fish for dinner whilst dh & kids had pizza & oven chips, but funnily enough the pizza didn't even appeal to me tonight.

I think the more healthy food you eat the more you can do without the junk food??? [Remind me of this when I feel the craving for chip shop chips!!]

fireflyfairy2 · 07/04/2007 20:23

Who needs a helping hand in dealing with the EE's accumulating in your house????

Anyone apart from me??

Wow.... I have just had to wade in through the cobwebs, past the tumbleweed & my voice is all echoy.. where is everyone??

BethAndHerBrood · 07/04/2007 21:14

We only have 2 EE in the house, and they're to give to friends tomorrow! My poor kids haven't even got one!! Never mind - I'm just about to have a bit of orange aero. Yummy!!

fireflyfairy2 · 07/04/2007 21:34

Yummy...orange Aero!!!!!

I have some fair trade choc in the fridge, but am ashamed to say I don't like it

Nothing beats a slab of dairy milk

Hi

We went out for a meal this evening & it was gorg!!

We went to the local italian place, & dh & kids got pizza. I had the most delicious pasta I have ever tasted in my life!!

Penne pasta with tomato sauce, with garlic, chilli, peppers, onions & mushrooms in it. A huge heaped plateful, & I bet there were hardly any syns in it!!

How's it going with all the easter eggs? I managed to have a couple of bited of my green & black's one yesterday evening without eating the whole thing!! Though we went out last night & I drank my weight in pernod I had abstained for lent & went a little mad

I will get a new one tomorrow night though, unless anyone has been to their meeting today & got a new one

Not sure about the rice cakes. Will find out for you

fireflyfairy2 · 11/04/2007 20:07

New p/w is EASTER.

Where's everyone at??????

Made it to club 10

BethAndHerBrood · 11/04/2007 22:00

YAY!!!!!!!!!!!!! Well done! I bet you feel great, don't you?!

My weigh in tomorrow morning. I'm wondering if I've done enough since monday after my gluttonous weekend to lose this week

But, I got my summer clothes out of the suitcase this week, and I can get in stuff that didn't fit last year! And I got a dress on that has never fitted, even when I bought it!!

fireflyfairy2 · 11/04/2007 22:09

Bloody hell Beth, that's fantastic!!

Well done you!!!!

Dh & I are off for a romantic weekend this weekend & I bought some sexy new underwear

I've been hiding from this thread . Have missed last two weigh ins. First as I wasn't well and second I had a mumsnet meet up. Been really naughty with the school easter holidays but am going back to group on Thursday night in the hope that I will get motivated again. Sigh - why is it so hard?
I have done lots of walking this easter hol though so hoping that some of the calories from the bad stuff will have burnt off that way.
Will read back through thread to see how you are all getting on. xx

You saucy minx!!! LOL, are you taking your maternity dress??

looking at that underwear, there will be plenty of body magic going on!!!!

LedodgyCheapEasterEggsAreASin · 11/04/2007 22:39

LOL Sparkler i've been avoiding too. I've missed the last two weigh ins, last week because I was in Yorkshire and tonight because I have sinusitus i've been rubbish over two weeks as dp was off work and it was dd's birthday. I'd put on about 4 pounds when weighed on my scales on saturday have been good since and they are now showing me only a pound up which i'm pleased with. Will get back on track tommorrow my friend went tonight and put on 3 pounds after Easter and another lady had put on 7 pounds in two weeks so I don't feel so bad. I think sometimes you need to give yourself a holiday as you get it out of your system and are ready to be really good again after all I see this as an eating plan for life and that means I can have the occasional week off.
