Hello all! Congrats in order on lots of counts it seems, well done Spurious and Squiffy and paws - and you too TV for seeing the 12.7 even if it didn't stick around, I remember you saying when you first joined us that maybe 12.7 wasn't do-able, and now you've done it!

The big day is just around the corner BOOP! How close to target are you?

Chardy I was thinking of you the other day - lovely to hear from you, and glad to hear you're on the mend. Incredible dedication to have lost 11 Lindas whilst all this is going on, I'm sure I'd have given up.

Welcome to the new faces Wild and Losing!

QuimReaper · 12/06/2017 20:04

koko if you're hoping to keep your calories really low then you really can't afford carbs I think: they're crazy-calorific and just not filling enough!

Trey and paws I'm an apple too, fairly thin legs and a big wobbly torso Sad

Meant to say well done Peaches too, and just seen your post Trey - fab work!

Shakespearesglobe · 12/06/2017 21:43

20,000 steps every day since Friday. Have not dared to weigh myself though as clothes still feel tight. Well done on all weight losses above x

BitOutOfPractice · 12/06/2017 22:45

Oh wouldn't it be great to have a slenderista party? I'd love that?

I'm on the train home only slightly pissed

Oh yeah BOOP!

Where would we meet though, we're all spread out

DrMadelineMaxwell · 12/06/2017 22:54

3.8lb off for my first week.

Happy with that, especially as I had a no count (inc few treats) weekend.

Can't do that every weekend obviously, so I need to address my treat buying in the supermarket shop as if you haven't got it in you can't eat it.

BitOutOfPractice · 12/06/2017 23:50

London or Birmingham usually work best I think.

Dr that's a great start

God Id love to lose 3.8lbs in one week.

I appear to have hit a wall.

London would be perfect for a meet up for me.

WalkersNotLays · 13/06/2017 06:29

Had a woosh today - after complaining to DP that I never had them.

Was a bit wobbly over the weekend but fully back on track now

lastqueenofscotland · 13/06/2017 06:34

2lbs off from yesterday. Need another few golden days yet!

Meet up in Manchester?!?

HairsprayBabe · 13/06/2017 09:05

Morning 10.8 for me, was hoping for a little more as yesterday was textbook golden but I think I am being greedy!

Slenderista party! OMG yes!
Birmingham sounds fab Wink considering I live here already Grin

Won't be about much today, my manager is sitting next to me so I have to "work hard" for a change Grin

Do you think we should do it then? Set a date for a meet up?

KOKO no judging here. For a short term reset it'll be fine.

quim thanks for the support, greatly appreciatedSmile

I guess now i have lost most of that first stone I am very keen to see more and its just getting harder. No doubt I had more to lose at the start........

Still at 12st 10 today but didnt have a great day yesterday so hopefully things will look better in next couple of days

HairsprayBabe · 13/06/2017 14:10

No judgement here KOKO I ate nothing but eggs for three days Grin

just found out DP didn't get a permanent contract on a job he has been doing for over a year eurghhh...

Shakespearesglobe · 13/06/2017 17:28

I have put ON weight. Sob! 1.5 pounds on. I have been doing 20,000 steps a day- how much worse would it have been otherwise Sad

TVHubbyClaire · 13/06/2017 17:30

"I ate nothing but eggs for three days"

What a fabulous line, captures the essence of our thread beautifully...Smile

I have been nibbling all day Angry I must stop!

koko 650 on food seems quite extreme I don't think I could do it anymore, at one stage yes but now I would just go over every day and be reall disappointed in myself.

DrMadelineMaxwell · 13/06/2017 20:26

Well, today proves that I can follow a healthy diet WHEN I plan for it and don't just grab food as I go.

School trip today, so it was a meal deal sandwich and packet of crisps to take on the trip rather than my healthy salad which is already in the staff room fridge.

Then I had the GP and then an meeting at my DDs high school, so dinner wasn't meat and veg, it was a couple of thin bagels with a VERY thin spread of butter.

There's a craze in the area of an Ice cream man who turns up at different places and has huge queues. We've not bothered the last few times, but I'd promised DD we'd go.

So we did. I ate 1/3rd of mine and the rest is in the freezer.

THEN I had 2 chicken thighs that DH had cooked in a casserole sauce.

Stuffed and no idea how bad the damage is, but it shouldn't be too bad on cals, it's just v high on carbs! I'll work it out on the app in a bit - then cry.

On the plus side, it's one of my non-exercise days, but I've hit my 10,000 steps.

lastqueenofscotland · 13/06/2017 20:36

Managed a good day - managed to stick to about 1200 cals even with a few squares of chocolate, and ran 8 miles so damage is limited!

Softpebbles · 13/06/2017 20:53

Been for a run 😱

BitOutOfPractice · 13/06/2017 21:12

I just CANNOT focus at the moment. Couple of pounds have crept back on. Realistically I'm not going to get a grip till after the weekend. It's trying not to go too mad and crack on after Saturday

poorpaws · 13/06/2017 21:29

I've eaten too much today, I've really struggled.. Weight Watchers tomorrow night so I'm not expecting miracles ☹️

One or two of us struggling so we'll all have to try hard. It's a bugger when you have a not so good day.
