Great title, thanks Boop (and Mr. Boop!)

Fast day for me today. Unfortunately I am working all day, so I am heading off bright and early with all my food for the day (a salad and a banana) with me. Hope the rest of you enjoy the bank holiday! Grin

BitOutOfPractice · 01/05/2017 06:17

Spurious what sort of work do you do that means bank holiday working? At least you'll avoid the snacking I guess!

I'm still in Barcelona. Last day today. I have eaten and drunk all the things. Blush but I've had a fab time.

I work in healthcare, so it's pretty much par for the course. Yes, odds are I will be able to avoid snacking so that's the silver lining!

I bet it's been amazing. I love Barcelona, it's one of my favourite cities!

ponygirlcurtis · 01/05/2017 07:09

Woohoo new thread, great title! Thanks BOOP - enjoy your last day, Barcelona is a lovely city with too many foodie temptations!

If it's any consolation Spuriouser, I have been working all weekend on and off, big freelance deadlines. Hence why I am awake now fretting about it! Will get up and weigh in a minute.

Stellar67 · 01/05/2017 07:47

Checking in. Reminding myself that just because it's a holiday does not mean I can eat the fridge.

Nice title Wink

TooExtraImmatureCheddar · 01/05/2017 08:38

I'm working too. I can totally read a 90 page document by 9 o'clock, right? But before I get off MN and start that, I just have to say: 10 stone 8.75! Hooray! Quick scan of the last thread reveals that my earliest posted weight in May was 10.9.5, so I have lost a grand total of 0.75lb in April. Blush I went back up to 10.13 at one point after Easter, though. Still, I am happy to be back in the 10.8s, and I'm now in the final stretch towards my sister's wedding - it's 2 weeks on Friday, eek! Dress is still too tight in the chest, but I am pre-menstrual so I'm hoping for better things post-period. I'm aiming for 10.3 by May the 19th!

HairsprayBabe · 01/05/2017 09:05

Starting this month on 11.2 and I have more eating planned today!

Oh dear, may has to go better than April for me!

lastqueenofscotland · 01/05/2017 09:52

Great title BOOP!

Giving myself today off but motivated to hit it hard this month.

anyone else entered the London ballot?

Balonder · 01/05/2017 10:05

Love the title BOOP. I am starting a 10,000 swing kettlebell challenge for May and hope to cut out sugar and wheat. Have meal planned and shopped for the week so no excuses. Good luck everyone.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 01/05/2017 10:32

Weighing in at 226.6lbs. Looks like I have regained all of my lost weight, though this is hardly a surprise.
BSD starting now, breakfast is muesli, raspberries and milk with lemon tea (cut out the coffee again)

poorpaws · 01/05/2017 10:41

I'm really going to try this month but I said that in April. I just need to get below 10st 12lbs now, I've been there too long.

Very clever title, love it 😀

TVHubbyClaire · 01/05/2017 10:55

Starting month at 12st 11 after two nights in pub over the weekend Angry

I think to lose 4 Lindas would be good for this month, booze free for next 12 days might help.

On the positive NSV side..... I was getting ready to go out on saturday and put on a shirt bought for me by DW at Christmas. Had to take it off as far too big, do you know if I can have it altered/ taken in?
It was quite expensive and I like it and I want to wear it withhout looking like I'm wearing a checked parachute.......

leesmum · 01/05/2017 11:00

Can I join in please?
Start weight 9.3
Need to get back down to 8.10
I know it must look like I don't need to lose weight but all my clothes are tight and I refuse to go up a size Grin

Archduke · 01/05/2017 11:02

Hello hello hello all. Great title BOOP, good to see you all starting STRONG and committed.

I am only down a 1lb or 2 but am about 2kg from my goal so not too fussed.

Eaten ancient grains and fruit for breakfast, veggies and butter chicken for dinner. 3 flat whites. Stuffed.

Happy Bank Holiday to those that have it. Here the kids went back to school after the Easer hols. BEST DAY EVER.

lastqueenofscotland · 01/05/2017 11:04

Oh forgot to put lost 5lbs in April Shock

FreeNiki · 01/05/2017 12:05

Place marking with nothing to report.

Is my b.day this weekend and dread it. Have a session with hot PT this week 😍

Will try and lose 3-4lbs this week.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 01/05/2017 12:09

500 steps in to my 3000 step goal :)

Softpebbles · 01/05/2017 12:15

Checking in! Thanks BOOP great title.

I've never been to Barcelona!

Bank holiday and I am spending the day catching up on all the jobs I don't get done when at work. I so need a cleaner or to care a little less!!

My aim for May is a minimum of 3lbs. I know some people reading will think that's nothing but I'm really struggling so 3lbs permanently off would make me happy. Like TV said (of sorts) it's nice to have a new slightly lower weight to float around. Haven't weighed this morning but will tomorrow. X

Hi all, I'd like to join in if that's ok.

I need to get back in the zone. 11st6 this morning - I'd like to be 11st by the start of June. Can easily lose 3 this week, it's the next 3 I need to work on.

Quite hungover after night out yesterday so I am pleased with myself for not eating ALL THE CARBS today - my usual cure.

FreeNiki · 01/05/2017 14:56

this week!!!

hell no...i meant this month.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 01/05/2017 15:04

I just made myself a reward chart like a toddler Grin

Twiglet15 · 01/05/2017 15:07

Got distracted last month and forgot to post after the first week! Blush

Managed a good loss in April (first time in years I've not had a single Easter egg!) And finished 7lbs down. Total weight loss since January is 31lbs (16st 9 Blush to 14st 6!) I'm down 2 dress sizes so am completely chuffed.

I do am dram and have a show next week and have a slinky costume to wear. So pleased that i can get into it! Slightly short of my goal of under 200lbs for the opening night but hopefully a couple of fast days will get me there by next weekend!

BitOutOfPractice · 01/05/2017 15:33
