BOOP don't blame you, that's what holidays are for Smile
Good luck to those doing the Egg challenge.

After last weeks non loss I'm 2lb down this week so that's 5.5lb lost in May!! Can't quite believe it.

It's going to be a lovely day ☀

Squiffy01 · 22/05/2017 07:07

Welcome back boop glad you had a good break!

Good luck with the eggs! Waiting with interest to hear how you get on.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 22/05/2017 07:49

More loss today - 11.8 since the beginning of May and 21lbs overall since the autumn. I'm having McDonald's more often! Grin

Beyond that's amazing and you're on course to lose a stone this month!!
Thanks ladies I feel loads better already, I don't need to lose a lot but all my clothes were getting very snug and there was no way I was going to start buying bigger stuff Angry

The Eggs, butter and cheese does sound very rich!!

readyforsunshine · 22/05/2017 09:24

beyond you're doing amazingly well🍾🍾
hairspray my last post omitted your name for some reason but it was a well done you're on 🔥! Hope The egg fast helps you on your way to target.
Welcome back boop what's the next flabby trip in the calendar? I like a good trip to look forward to, even if it's not mine & is virtualGrin
Sort of joined you all on the egg fast bfast as had 2 scrambled & 1 bacon. V proud at myself for taking overnight oats yesterday & avoiding the bacon roll van for 2 w/es running Shock how many do I have to abstain for before it becomes a habit?
Did come home to 3 glasses of wine & a giant plate of roast beef & all the trimmings, rest of the week had been lots of brown rice, wholeseed wraps, lean protein & masses of veg so all in all I'm pretty pleased. Would be nice to see more movement on the scales though.

HairsprayBabe · 22/05/2017 09:29

No longer on fire sadly sunshine, went to the fair yesterday ate lots of fair crap, toffee apple, slush puppy, candyfloss, donuts etc.
10.13 and I deserve it! Hoping it is mainly water and the egg fast will get me back on track.

On to the egg fast, never have brekky but I have egg muffins for lunch and had a bullet proof coffee to kick me off this morning.

QuimReaper · 22/05/2017 10:23

ready "the next flabby trip" Grin I suspect a typo but it made me laugh!

Welcome back BOOP, I bet you look golden and relaxed and glorious!

Beyond you are amazing, what a result! And congrats on the loss leesmum

poorpaws we all have Devil Weeks from time to time - it's less a question of us kicking you out than us not giving you permission to leave Wink You'll stay right here until you've found that wagon young lady!

EEEEEGG WEEEEEEEEK! So who's in, me, Hairspray, koko and Stellar? This thread is so awesome. I throw out a random half-baked idea about an egg fast last week and now I have three comrades in arms to commiserate with. Good shout on getting the egg whites in Hairspray, I shall do that too. I'm not going to keep to the butter rules, I'll just have as much as I want, and I'll sub in coconut oil to keep the fats up. I'm being slightly lax about the "rules" because I'm treating today as a fast day, and my fast days frequently consist of eggs and BabyBels anyway, so although I won't have anything off-plan I won't stress about trying to get extra eggs and butter in. I might mess up the loss that way, we shall see in three days!

BeyondStrongAndStable · 22/05/2017 10:25

Thanks all Blush im probably gonna ruin it next month mind!!

I'm still in the same clothes, but I think my face and neck look thinner :)

FreeNiki · 22/05/2017 10:30

Ive hit a wall. not losing anything after consistently losing 1lb a week from january.

BeyondStrongAndStable · 22/05/2017 10:54

Egg fast? Grin

Do you wanna list what you're doing and we can all have a look?

QuimReaper · 22/05/2017 11:20

I must say I didn't expect Bulletproof coffee to be so damn nice! Shock

It really is very nice!
I had mine on the bus this morning and I'm still not hungry! My recipe was 1tsp coconut oil, 1tsp butter a mug of instant coffee wizzed up with a milk frother.

Is herbal tea ok on this? I totally forgot to check and I am on my 4th cup of the morning! I assumed it would be because diet pop is fine too.

if you really hate coconut flavor you can buy unflavored coconut oil, I like the nuttiness of it though, works well even if your coffee is cheap instant like mine is!

Hello everyone,

I've been MIA these last couple of months, but I'm back on it now. Down nearly 3lb last week, so am back to where I started the year more or less. Weight loss down to stressful week last week, but I feel spurred on today to start again and get that weight loss sorted in time for the summer holidays. My head feels in a good place and I have actually been able to make good choices food-wise - which I often struggle with. 12 weeks to go, so if I can average just over 1lb per week, that would be wonderful!

I need to catch up with the thread, but well done to everyone for their losses. This really is such a lovely supportive group of people. Thank you!

Somo

Hello! I'm waving weakly while my liver and jeans both groan.

Beyond I did laugh at the idea of a flabby trip. Given how much I've eaten and drunk this weekend you are not far off from the truth. Had such a wonderful time. Im a lucky girl with my friends and sister. Not got anything booked now till July. I know, I don't know how I'll manage.

Everyone seems super focused. I must get my game pants back on and get back to it. Three weeks till the big 5-0 and nothing big planned until then. I so so want to be 10-stone something by then.

If you're looking for good egg recipes, look up menemen. Hairy Dieters do a good version (surprise surprise!) though you may have to lose the peppers and onion in it.
