Hot PT said lift your hips higher babe.

I wish I had been lifting my hips with him in another context.

poorpaws · 28/06/2017 22:23

Love Nikibabe perfect name.

Squiffy01 · 29/06/2017 07:04

Ha love the new name. Does he do any training outside the gym that you could book in for?

leesmum · 29/06/2017 07:38

Nikibabe that's just brilliant Wink

HairsprayBabe · 29/06/2017 07:55

My god y'all are a thirsty bunch Grin

10.5 so on an actual loss for June now, just the 1lb, but it is a downward trend and I have two more days to go so could be a little more? possibly, hopefully!

How is the next thread title coming along BOOP?

TVHubbyClaire · 29/06/2017 08:32

I just looked back to 1 June - 12st 8 1/4

I weighed myself this morning - 12st 8 1/4

So no gain over 4 weeks, I'm not totally distressed but a little disappointed in myself that i havent lost anything, I need another push

Hotel breakfasts and dinners out for three nights this weekend so will need to be careful.....

HairsprayBabe · 29/06/2017 08:59

For the hotel breaks just skip any carby elements, so feel free to have eggs and bacon but don't bother with the toast, the protein and fats should keep you going till lunchtime and you will be less tempted to snack!

Not sure what tips I can give for meals out other than stick to grilled meat/fish with veggies and avoid creamy sauces and skip dessert for a nice coffee perhaps?
If you have to have a starter go for olives or soup, and if there is any bread on the table do not touch it!
My thin friend always swears by drinking 2 large glasses of water before she orders her food to stop herself over eating.

BitOutOfPractice · 29/06/2017 09:03

Oh shit! July title! I'll get my thinking cap on. Any suggestions welcome

He does PT sessions but not sure of other venues......thats an idea

NikiBabe · 29/06/2017 09:13

I have the Summer in the city song in my head this morning.

Summer Slenderistas in the City.....or something Boop

lastqueenofscotland · 29/06/2017 09:39

Managed to be a bit better yesterday, this week is just really about Damage limitation now

HairsprayBabe · 29/06/2017 09:41

Quit July-ing around?
Getting July (truly) gorgeous?

This one is hard

NikiBabe · 29/06/2017 11:47

OMG I am in a new kilo bracket finally. Dropped to the 65s. Now 65.5.

I was 66.5 at the beginning of the month.

So that's a 2lb loss from 10.6 to 10.4.

And hot PT called me babe again.

😍

BitOutOfPractice · 29/06/2017 11:59

Yay Niki that's great! On both counts! Well done babe! Grin

Hairspray they're all hard. I've texted Mr BOOP for his help

Niki that name change is having all the right results Smile

i am now singing that Azter camera song too....."summer slenderistas who are losing still....

although I have to say the only song I really associate with this thread is by another scottish band......

HairsprayBabe · 29/06/2017 14:40

"surprise" pub lunch out for a colleague who is leaving work today...

Had 2 quorn sausages, with peas and salad but forgot to ask for the salad dressing on the side.

Anyone know what salad dressing they generally use in pubs, some sort of french vinaigrette I imagine.

Softpebbles · 30/06/2017 07:40

Weigh in today. 11 stone. So minus 3 for the month 😀

Slightly annoyed didn't get into the 10's. Holiday next month and work trip away so need to keep exercising and be mindful.

July I would like to get to 10 stone 11. Sounds easy but loss is really slow.

Overall 9lbs gone so far. X

TVHubbyClaire · 30/06/2017 08:17

well done pebbles , July will be a good month in a new bracket

Realistically 3 Linda loss would be ok for me too in July and take me into new lows

Already not looking forward to next Wednesday's weigh in, I need to walk round lots of lakes in the next few days

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 30/06/2017 08:57

Morning all!

Loving the namechange Niki!

And Soft well done!

I am trying to climb back onto the wagon but I am sort of hanging on by my fingertips at the moment. Ending June on a 3lb gain Blush Goal for July is to lose those 3lbs and (ideally) a couple more.

HairsprayBabe · 30/06/2017 09:14

10.4
-2lbs for June, although I tend to officially weigh in on the 1st so could be 3 if I am good today.
1lb off a 5st loss.... still not sure if I am done, 10st dead gives me a 22 BMI... see how I go next month I think

BitOutOfPractice · 30/06/2017 09:35

Ooo pebbles so close. But you're doing great

Please everyone pray for dry weather today. Going to an outdoor gig. Should get lots of steps though seriously some of those girls never sit down! Grin

Hi all,
Been a long couple of weeks here and now well and truly missed the bandwagon. I'm collecting all the Linda's Blush

Everyone sounds like they are in a good place so I've been avoiding. But time to sort myself out.

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 30/06/2017 10:05

Hairspray you are doing so well! (Nearly) 5 stone is an amazing amount!

Right, to cement my on-the-wagon-ness I am booking two gym classes. Bodypump on Sunday (can't go to my usual class tomorrow as we are going to Ikea, god help me) and a HIIT class on Wednesday, which I have never been to before. I am also meal-planning. I'm going to make those egg muffin things that Hairspray posted a couple of threads ago for my fast day lunches.
