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

Ready my closest friend has Fibro and I have ME/CFS. It is amazing how similar the symptoms are. I hope you are feeling brighter.

Three consecutive Golden Days this week so hoping for a good loss.

KOKO Don't be fooled by my current whirlwind. I've done 1200 calories a day week in week out for a year now. I've only lost 1lb a week overall. I lost most of my weight from sept - December when I hardly left the house. But when you do have a holiday / blow out / blip the trick is to get back to it. Sorry it's not more "miracle cure" than that!

10.13 again for me today, was hoping for a loss as was under 1000 cals yesterday - even with cake! But never mind!

DP has just informed me he has invited his Dsis and 3 of her pals to our party on Saturday, all good all fine, except they are all 17 and the booze was supposed to be flowing freely! Can't help but think this may make the party slightly more stressful...

Stayed the same here today

Ready, I have fibro as a symptom of my EDS though rather than it's "own" diagnosis pacing is the key, finding the exact right level for you can be tough though (see my post that I spent yesterday afternoon asleep )

pebbles - that was a full on day yesterday

Just get back on the wagon today and put it behind you

This from me who will undoubtedly drink too much beer tonight..... I dont think Premier league darts is quite the venue for me to be nursing a white wine spritzer...

Ooo tv you're off to the darts? I missed that. That's on my bucket list to do soon

TV I am going to a PROSECCO FESTIVAL tonight, I don't think that's quite the place for restraint either!

Quietly optimistic for a pre-Prosecco weigh-in after three golden days. Fingers crossed!

I made the most fantastic chicken and asparagus stir fry last night - it was all lemony and crunchy and zingy, a real success. I had a slight mishap with some Cheddar cheese before it, and did have the weeniest splash of gin in my usual tonic and lime, but DH didn't get home until 10 and after my Platinum Tuesday I was just so hungry. I also sampled a spoonful or two of the egg fried rice (chef's prerogative) but overall it was pretty golden.

Quim Take me with you!!!!

I have to decide like now for that holiday or not. Decisions.

Niki do it do it do it!

Hairspray I'll bring you back a soggy doggy bag

BOOP - It's usually good fun, actually quite excited because we have table seats tonight for the first time.....

I just hope that the 20 somethings remember its darts and not football!!

NIKI - make a decision based on what feels right to you.....

Oooo you're posh tonight then TV

Oh Quim yes, take us all!

I'd go on holiday in a heartbeat niki

Me, I'm sat on bed surrounded by laptop and seventy two papers on bacteriophage therapy, absolutely dreading submitting this work. I hate it. Hate it hate it hate it

The two modules I have done this year have been bloody nightmares, they are so poorly organised. If I fail, I'm not redoing them, bugger it

BOOP posh is the last word I would use to describe it, I need to think of a message to put on my 180 card.....

QUIM you should definitely leave all traces of restraint at home....have fun

I want to go and know it'll be good but I feel terrified.

I have lost alot of confidence lately.

TV Poshness is all relative!!

Put a message to us on your card! Though I'm not sure how you'd explain that to your DW being as we are your little secret

Niki we believe in you. Go! It'll do you the world of good

"Big wave to my Slender harem"

I can put the flight on a 0% credit card and pay the rest from savings

How about "we've lost Linda"

Niki Do it! Seriously grab this opportunity and go, have an amazing time pleasing yourself!

BOOP I am certain DW will not be watching the darts,

I did wonder how i could fit slenderista on my card....

then I thought how do I make up something catchy to go with it....

then I thought how the hell could i explain the reason, background (Claire?? ) or meaning to my friend who I will be with tonight?

so, on the whole.... perhaps not.....

Hmmm. Maybe you're right.

Do it Niki. G'wan g'wan g'wan g'wan

NSV I bumped into a colleague's wife in the street yesterday and struck up a conversation she gave me a type look and we went our separate ways.

Back in the office today saw colleague said I saw his wife yesterday, he said that makes sense now, and she didn't even recognise me because I have lost so much weight!

hairspray...that is fabulous, truly makes all the efforts worthwhile!

You deserve to feel good about that
