We're all going on a slimmer holiday! 7lbs or bust in August!

[BitOutOfPractice]

The new Slenderistas August thread starts here. Welcome aboard. The wagon is in town.

Link to old thread here

haispray thank you so much again

Chinese wouldnt be my first choice either but going with elderly aunts who like it alot

Not a huge fan of Wagamamas , my favourite is definitely Vietnamese but no restaurant this far north east. Highlight of our trips to Edinburgh is usually 2 visits to a fab Vietnamese place there

I really love Thai food, deep fried tofu with thai red curry

Lets talk about something else this is making me hungry! hahaa

I was thinking just the same myself, about to pass out from no food so far today!!

Hot PT is forgiven. He wasnt there when I was. He goes for a couple of days next week.

He was really nice to me and asked for tips. Swoon.

He sounds dreamy Niki 😍

BOOO 10.6 again...

Hoping for a woosh, have decided I'm not drinking tonight because I was hoping to be lower this morning....

Do any of you lovely ladies live in or near Brighton. There is method to my madness!

No sorry Niki I'm in Brum.

I'm in London I'm afraid! Pourquoi?

Played badminton last night but had late dinner so a very disappointing 12st 10 this morning

Must do better next week, hopefully a few calories will go during 10k on sunday which should at least nullify tomorrow's chinese but no doubt there will be a late lunch somewhere after run

Apologies Niki i dont think anyone lives further away from Brighton than i do....hope you enjoyed the rest of your Edinburgh visit

I saw a dress I really wanted in Glasgow at a store that has branches everywhere. Sold out online and in London. I see the last dress they have in my size already over someones arm

So I contacted the company. They have 2 in Brighton so I wondered if anyone lived near to get for me and I could send money and postage for it.

Scotland was fabulous 🇽🇸

Loch Ness and the Highlands are next.

Haha. That was a Saltire emoticon I lifted from whatsapp. Clearly doesn't work on here.

I'm not in Brighton either I'm afraid.

I forgot to bloody well weigh in this morning! I will have to do it tomorrow, but I will have to be good tonight then. I feel lighter though, so I will be annoyed if it doesn't show on the scales if that makes any sense!

spurious of course it does, I have now got used to how I feel and what the weight will be when I step on scales so I totally get it

I'm going to go light tonight too because I have been eating too much as well as the wrong things at the wrong times since I came back from holiday

I'm glad that doesn't sound totally insane TV!

Sorry Niki I'm not in Brighton either.

Diet gone to shit. No transport to go to WW ( car being fixed after being bumped outside my home). Will be up quite a few pounds in August. Will try harder in September.

Glad to hear that you enjoyed Scotland, Niki.

poorpaws keep going, it's so hard sometimes isn't it, it can feel like everything is going against you.

I have kept going despite feeling I was just maintaining and not getting anywhere and I finally seem to be getting somewhere. hopes I don't jinx it Giving up wine during the week seems to have helped and I am nearly back down into the next stone bracket. Where I was before, until I wasn't! 😆 So old territory but glad it is going down and not up!

Ponygirl that's good to hear! Downwards is definitely the right way

Poorpaws that's shit about your car. I agree with Pony though, you have to koko. Hopefully September will be your month!

Anyway I weighed in this morning and I'm STS, 3lbs above my lowest weight. HOW?!?! I had a pretty golden week, about 1200 calories every day, no gym classes but lots of walking and cycling to work. Could it be because I drank much wine last night? Gah. Off to bodypump in a bit and planning a day off dieting today, but back on it tomorrow.

10.6 again getting bored of this now!

12st 9 , still in that 3lb limbo between 12st 7 and 12st 10, Its not as if this is my target weight band , i have another 10 Lindas to lose before i get to that

Did a 10k yesterday which went well given I hadnt laced up my running shoes since last event in May, really want to get back into good exercise habits.

Apparently I ran off 881 calories, then went out for dinner and had wine and then beer so no benefit at all (although I did enjoy it)

Morning ladies, nice to hear you lot are still keeping up the good work, I haven't weighed myself in a week and I'm not going to, have loads on the next week or so and I know any real serious attempts at dieting will be half-hearted
So I'm getting ready to crack on again when the DS's are back at school.
Sorry Nikki I'm nowhere near Brighton, hope you get sorted though.
TV well done on your 10k, you definitely earned your meal out 👍
Poorpaws (waves) I'm hoping for a fantastic September, we can do it, we've done it before

Well done TV, don't think I could even do 5k if I hadn't done it in 3 months, kudos!

thank you so much pony and lees

legs are bloomin sore today, just shows how much I need to do some exercise

I definitely couldn't do 10k without training TV so I'm impressed.

My weekend had gone to hell in a handcart diet wise. And bloody great it's been too
