[BitOutOfPractice]

Well here we are again. Otters. Lindas. Babes. Buggers. We're all here to lose 7lbs this month.

Everyone welcome to the best thread on MN *

link to the old thread here if you need it

I should have known it would be like this.

But just picked on bits tonight again so only coming in about 800 calories a day with no dinner.

Weight loss will probably speed up.

At least I still get to go to the gym and that is fun. Not just the exercise a social thing too.

Some great work though from my reading. Lots of losses and still a week go and plenty of time.

Niki do you have a car you could put stuff in?

140 again this morning. Need to try and be good this weekend as on a weekend away with friends and no matter how good the intention they always turn into blow outs

Thank you guys . I just need a job fast.

Made my day this morning though.

64.5kg or 10.2.

Total loss of 7.5kg or 16lbs.

And af is due this week so hoping for more loss.

Wobbles back in 😀

Back from a typically British weather holiday! Lots of naughty stuff consumed. Will weigh tomorrow to assess the damage and tackle it! Today is my last holiday day so still in naughty food mode 🙈

Sorry to hear of your hard times Nikki. Well done hairspray on your loss.

Hello to everyone else 😀

Had the WORST day at work some bitch grassed me up for lack of communication so just forwarded all emails with proof I'd done stuff she'd told everyone I hadn't done to the boss.... but I'm desperately trying to avoid consoling myself for the bad day with the work biscuit tin.

Grumble.

Lasty what a bitch

Grrrr last, don't give them a second thought, they aren't worth a biscuit.

Hope you had a good break Soft.

Hi all,

I've fallen off everything. This thread, Fitbit, the wagon.
I was on holiday. Going away within U.K. again in a couple of days.

Good Luck with the job hunt niki.
Hairspray still bowing down to you.

Egg diet...! Me. I'll do it again, next week I plan to be good the next few days too.

She is a complete witch haha I was fuming. But didn't stress eat which is something I've been terrible for in the past. Had a Diet Coke and went for a run

139 this morning!! Back in the 9s

Fantastic last! Great feeling. 😊

Stellar I would be interested to hear how you get on with it. I didn't quite do it properly (forgot I was at my mum's for dinner yesterday so it went a bit awry) but barring that blip I did three days. I have put weight on. Felt I was doing well with it, even tracked my calories into MFP for yesterday and it came out at 1,300 my usual goal (OK with 80% fat and 20% protein!).

Feel stalled generally. I am back at the gym a couple of times a week. I have massively cut back on alcohol. I am being much more careful about my eating. But I am going in the wrong direction and I don't know why. Will just need to ride it out.

Well done Last! Your colleague sounds a bit thick as well as bitchy, if you have emails that prove she is lying.

Welcome back Soft! Hope you enjoyed your holiday.

I am having a fast day today, I have egg muffins totalling 250 calories for lunch, and am planning a stir-fry for dinner. Should come in at about 500 calories.

She's doing my fucking head in at the moment! But will not bow to stress/anger eating
It's been a really recent realisation how much of an emotional eater I am

Woohoo well done for a 9 lasty! Your colleague sounds absolutely awful - I think you'll feel like you can take on anything if you get through this without "using food".

Welcome back Stellar! Are you Egg Fasting right now? I think a few people found it was useful in terms of finding new quick low-cal meals, as eggs are after all very low-cal.

still at 12st 9, these next 2 -5 lbs will just not shift

I'm doing ok, liking the slimmer version, not going back up too much and not looking fat but I would love to just see the scales move and feel a little bit slimmer

Pony and quim. Thank you, yes am back. Not on it right now (drinking non egg wine). Next week after number 2 hols.
I did well on it. I just failed consistently on the weekends and put back on.
However. I got offered a new contract this morning which I've accepted and it's right up my street. I'm in a provision for pupils that need to be there. Very excited.
I've also given myself a good goal plan for the next six months. (Yes I have more than 7lbs to lose)

My boss took me out for drinks and dinner so I dread to think what tomorrow will bring

Improvement today down to 12st 7 1/4

I have a feeling that could be my lowest yet, I do hope its not a one off and I am trying to totally avoid snacks today,

Great news stellar well done

"non egg wine" made me laugh

Wow, well done TV - 1.75 Lindas in 24hrs is what I'd call a "whoosh"! You'll be at 12.6 in no time if you stick at it!

I'm on Day 3 of my 11-day Golden Sprint. I'm planning to weigh in on Friday, and then probably break with tradition and weigh in every couple of days to get me through the final week. I really hope I can get my January Weight back at least, that'd be about 2 kilos off. 3.5 kilos would get me back to Lowest Weight Ever, but I do suspect that might be a bit optimistic.

I've just had a serious look at What Went Wrong at the end of May by comparing my weighing slips with my calendar. I gained 3 Lindas in 22 days between late May and mid-June, and in that period I had 14 "bad" days That is, I was out for dinner / had people over / etc., all of which would've involved mega drinking and eating. Given that my normal loss or maintenance ratio is 4:3, no wonder I gained, that's something like 65% Bad Days.

Still, a bit demoralising that I'd gain a pound a week at that rate, since I'm pretty sure I was still managing two Fast Days a week. Goes to show that for me, the whole "eat what you like on the other 5 days" thing just isn't true. I used to socialise at least 65% of my evenings and I was skinny as a rat Damn you greediness/age/much higher alcohol tolerance!

thanks quim fingers crossed....

have to agree on alcohol and age, increases in those two sure don't help decreases in weight...

I gained half a pound at WW tonight but considering what I've eaten all week that's not so bad. Further away from target now so MUST concentrate and get this done.

Hope everyone is doing well.

TV that's great, I need to follow your lead.

Good morning all!
10.10 for my this morning, so currently +5 for the month with 4 days to go.... and a holiday in a weeks time.... BUT... I am reasonably pleased with that as I did eat and drink a lot!

Fast day today, hopefully that will knock a linda or two on the head!

Cardiff is an amazing city, and the food there is fabulous! Welshcakes are dangerous as is liquid nitrogen ice-cream and table service speakeasies!

sounds like alot of fun hairspray

I am at 12st 7 today so pretty sure thats a best since joining this thread

I am ever hopeful of seeing 12st 6 and a stone loss before I head off on holiday next saturday
