Stop the grazing. Look aMAYzing. Slenderistas spring into action to lose 7lbs in May

[BitOutOfPractice]

May the force of the Linda be with you as we aim for 7lbs off in a month

Here's a link to the April thread

You sound really low Niki, birthdays can be really hard when you are on your own, they can be another stick to beat yourself with. Even something small like taking yourself off to the cinema can be you doing something nice for yourself.

I think once you are an adult people stop caring so much about birthdays - rightly or wrongly. My OH doesn't even get a card from his parents! Sundays are hard too if you are single as it's a quiet day and most people just tend to be at home.
Definitely do something nice for yourself and keep on the weight loss, which is brill.
Do you have British military fitness where you live? I found that the best for good looking men as a mixed group and we'd often to go pub after.

No idea how you stick to 700 calories keepon. I'm struggling to keep to 2000! Had a massive bit of cake yesterday but then good today and also went swimming. I def think my milk supply for bf dries up when I don't eat enough so need to focus on the exercise side of things. Goal is to run 1k this week!

for Niki

Oh Mountain I'm so sorry about your dad, how shocking and awful for you. Hugs and to you. Do you have wider family around who are supportive and nice?

Niki Happy Birthday wishes to you, sorry it's been a difficult one. I do hope you found something nice to do for yourself, personally I loathe my birthdays - too much stress and pressure on top of getting old. Also sorry about not getting the job - so bloody disappointing and frustrating for you. for you too.

That's it exactly it. I should have done something even seen a film.

Going to bed with a heavy dose of diazepam. FML

Yeah 3.5lb down!!! Can't believe I've lost this much.
Now 8.13.1/2lb

Niki you don't sound too good chick, do you have close friends that you can talk to?

Morning. Back from a wonderful weekend celebrating mom's 80th. We totally surprised her with the party. Her face was a picture!

Not stood on the scales yet though I haven't gone too mad so let's hope the damage is minimal.

Niki happy birthday for yesterday. It sounds like it wasn't your best. You sound so low I feel a bit worried about you.

11.3 again for me today, had an ok day yesterday within calories but still had carbs, I need to get my head back in the zone or this month will end up like april on a gain and i am not having that again!

Just had a spoonful of bee pollen, and that is it bar tea and coffee for me till this evening. Golden day, angel week here I come!

Niki I hope you are ok, like Boop said, I am worried for you too, we care a lot about you so don't feel like it is pointless

Hi guys just found this thread so a week behind you all!
Weight myself yesterday and am 14.1 😱
Not good and need to do something about it and get fit, instead of staying fat.
Went swimming and cycling yesterday, will go for s lunchtime walk at work today and finally get to that yoga class I keep threatening to go to!
Am going to make myself and my health a priority for the next few month to lose weight and get healthy. Don't want to stay fat throughout my 40s!

Aim - get to 13.6 by 31 May - eat better food, a lot less junk and find exercise I enjoy and bloody well do it!!

Hello minny and welcome to the Best Thread on MN*

TM

MY phone autocorrected your name to ninny! That wouldn't have been a good start! Sounds like you have a plan. What's your strategy going to be? Do you go to a class or do low carbing or something else? We've got all sorts here so you're very welcome.

I'd just like to announce I've had a weekend without gaining! It's a miracle! A miracle I tell ya!

Nikki I hope you feel better soon.

Had a great weekend just not food wise! Seemed that only Carbs could settle my hangover! Back on it today although feel quite sick and have to travel with work so have had one slice of toast as a kill or cure.

Glad your mum enjoyed BOOP.

Hairspray - all day with no food? Crikey I could not do that, I don't normally have breakfast but have fruit at 10.30ish and then lunch. No way I'd make it until tea time!

Have a great day. X

Agree with all them lot ^ you don't sound good niki :(
I hope it's just birthday blues and you're feeling better today?

I'm up a lb today, so that's -5.2lbs for the week

DH did say I looked thinner this morning though

I didnt quite have the low alcohol weekend I had planned due to an unfortunate bottle of red with dinner on saturday (oh and glass of white with starter..... )

Ended up in local hotel for carvery dinner last night but did try to focus on veg and not potatos and I had eaten next to nothing and was physically busy all day....don't feel too fat today so hopefully weigh in tomorrow wont be too bad........

Hope you are feeling a little better today Niki , Sundays and birthdays can often be over rated.....

Hairspray - what did you have at Nandos?

Well done all the losers. I am down 2lbs this week. It might have been more but I got caught yesterday evening hungry, travelling and having a burger and a few chips. Managed to resist refined sugar though and haven't had any all month! Back on track today.
Niki hope you are feeling better today. You are losing weight for you and you are great. Happy Birthday

I'm having a fast day today, salad for lunch and tomato soup for dinner. I also cycled into work this morning so that's a good 35ish minutes of exercise already. Hoping that will kickstart a golden week!

Welcome to the thread Minny!

Niki hope you are feeling better today. Have you spoke to anyone IRL about how down you feel? Like the others I am a bit worried about you!

TV I had olives, a veggie pitta and peas, and a half carafe of sangria that I am ignoring!

Yep Pebbles, I do it about twice a week, not hungry till I eat you see. I do have very early dinner though, 'bout half five.

Hello all, what a lot of catching up! Well done on the no-gain weekend BOOP, especially with the surprise party in there! Sounds like a lovely thing, I bet your mum was thrilled.

Niki I hope you're feeling a bit less down, birthdays can be really tough

Beyond you've done incredibly well, well done! And you too poorpaws! I've never looked at the date on a tin, I figure they have to put a date on them, but the food actually lasts forever.

I'm going to lose this week, I'm having 3 good days and I will will will see a loss. I feel flabby as anything. Sister's birthday yesterday (in good company with Niki!) and I didn't eat much but I did drink plenty. Mum was thrusting loads of Dad's stuff on us and I got a bit overwhelmed and wept all the way home. I feel knackered today

Well done leesmum too! I think I missed you joining the thread, many apologies - what a terrific first week you've had. Gold star for sure.

Welcome to blowaway and Minny too, lots of lovely new faces this month!

:( quim. Hope three good days can be achieved and makes you smile :)

I've just had an omelette for lunch. 1.5 litres down for water and not far off my step goal either :) Pilates starts today so must actually remember to do it!!

Thanks Beyond, just slightly struggling to rediscover the wagon after America and desperately need to. Social calendar has been too busy, and will continue to be as it's my birthday next weekend, so I need to work hard to make some progress this month!

I have (metaphorically) closed the kitchen for the night on 450 calories, and I cycled into work so I count that as a golden day! Apparently I have also met my step goal but I think it counts my cycling as walking IYSWIM.. So I don't know. But pretty golden!

Quim You will rediscover the wagon in time, but be kind to yourself while you get back there

Beyond It sounds like you are doing really well!
