Fab, Hairspray! I had something similar at the wedding I was at on Saturday - I was sat beside the bride and groom's neighbour for the meal, who I have chatted to a good few times. She said to me 'Are you Pony's sister? Where's Pony sitting?' Grin

What have you decided Niki? go-wan go-wan go-wan

Hairspray that is fab! And pony.

Have a great time tv. Maybe you could
Incorporate the 3:2:2 phenomena on your board?

Quim where? I need a prosecco festival in my life. Maybe in the back garden with a bit of bunting....

I'm going to a spa tomorrow! I have a course tonight till 9 then an hours drive home so looking forward to something chilled to end the week.

readyforsunshine · 11/05/2017 15:42

Thanks boop paws & beyond Smile sorry for you & your friends suffering similarly.
My assessment went well & I felt energised, i then went to ride Dds horse (& muck out) ran some errands & now I'm shattered! Ive yet to walk the dog but am looking forward to this evening with a friend, will be good to catch up.
koko I totally sympathise as I have been on such a cycle of 'healthy eating'/lo carbing etc but only managing to maintain rather than lose due to social events etc. Then I have a bad week eating for energy & gain a little extra. It really is a case of finding what works for you, for me last time I lost it was lo carb lo fat, quick, effective, no hunger but REALLY boring & restrictive.
arch I was horrified to read about your daughter, thank goodness she made a recovery. I admit to having concerns re dd now the jumps are getting so big.

Contactlass · 11/05/2017 18:07

Hello again.

I'm two lindas down just three days in...

My point about the mayo thing quim (few posts back now) is that I love the high fat element of lc but im not strict enough so I'm just getting that fat! Seems to be working so far though ( my diet has been disgusting recently). Hoping to drop from obese to overweight soon.

B: two ryvita smoked salmon, cream cheese.
L: salad egg and ham
D: wild salmon & broccoli cheese
Cycled 10k, 9k steps.
W: 11st 4 (start weight 11.6)

Love reading your updates and getting to know you all.

Niki- I do hope you go :)

What is nsv?

FreeNiki · 11/05/2017 19:43

Oh fuck Ive had ice cream, a walnut whip, brioche toast.

Oooooops.

Softpebbles · 11/05/2017 20:15

How tall are you Contact to be obese?

Good NSV ladies.

Oops Nikki. Tomorrow's a new day xx

BitOutOfPractice · 11/05/2017 20:31

Niki stop now. Don't think "ah fuck it" and carry on. Then start afresh tomorrow. Don't give up.

Contact an NSV is a non scales victory Smile

Hi pebbles, I'm 5 ft zero Grin

Non scales victory- love it!

Spinning looks really really hard to me, is it boop?

TVHubbyClaire · 11/05/2017 21:06

niki we have both fallen off the wagon tonight, I'm a number of drinks down and it's still earlySad
Tomorrow is another day Smile

Softpebbles · 11/05/2017 21:08

Tomorrow is Friday!! 😬

lastqueenofscotland · 11/05/2017 21:53

Another good day.

Not weighed for ages and working more on eating better and training better for running and it's working!

Ran a huge PB over half marathon distance weekend just gone and haven't run anything slower than a 9 min mile for week, usually bobbing around 7:30-8 min miles. Loving all the training and finding saying no the the crap so much easier.

Stellar67 · 11/05/2017 23:06

BOOP I'm rather OCD about which spin class I attend. If it's not my friend who is bossy then I don't go Grin
Contact are you low carbing? Ryvita has carbs. I'd argue it also had fibre but it depends how serious you are. I have just about grasped it but my friends are all slimming world so they have low fat everything and are Shockwhen I get my fat filled mayo sachets out.
I'm just in from my course. Intensive and tbh, emotional. I don't know if I'm cut out to work and live with autism.

BitOutOfPractice · 11/05/2017 23:16

Lasty that sounds very positive. Good for you!

Contact yes it's bloody hard. I literally drip with sweat. I am hoping and expecting to get thighs of steel from it

TV one hundred and EIGHTy Grin

Morning all!

Hairspray that's amazing, well done!

That's brilliant Last, really impressive!

Stellar what kind of course are you doing? It does sound intense, hope things look better this morning.

I have just weighed in and I am finally back at the weight I was at the start of March, before life got in the way and I went off the rails. So now I can properly start losing again! Just 6lbs to go until I reach my goal weight so probably another 6 months or so judging by my previous progress

readyforsunshine · 12/05/2017 06:51

stellar I'm in awe of anybody studying as I seem to have lost my marbles as part of this condition! I used to be really capable & organised. Last night I thought I'd lost my keys on my walk but I'd actually left them in my car in the car park along with my handbag, wallet etc Confused

HairsprayBabe · 12/05/2017 07:06

10st 11 this morning -5 for the month so far, hope I dont ruin it tomorrow!

Softpebbles · 12/05/2017 07:18

11st 3 Smile

My Lordy I didn't think the scales would ever move and I have found it ridiculously hard to focus on being good.

Spour- downwards and onwards x

Well done Hairspray. That's amazing. You can't have much more to lose now?

How's the head TV?!

I'd love to try spinning it's in the running column. I daren't.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/05/2017 08:49

Morning! 11st 1 for me this morning. A tantalising .06lb away from 4 stone lost and soooo close to my 10-something target for my next jaunt. I have a week to lose 2lbs - can I do it?

Hairspray that's brilliant. well done.

Spurious glad you're back on track. Well done Star

Pebbles what's stopping you spinning? I was scared too. Never cycled in my life but I do enjoy it now. Go on. Dare ya!

BeyondStrongAndStable · 12/05/2017 09:43

BitOutOfPractice · 12/05/2017 10:25
