September is here and the Slenderistas (and TV) have their game face on.

Golden days will be in abundance as we aim to shift 7 Lindas in September

Colds are the worst paws take care of yourself and maybe have lots of green tea with some honey? Not too many calories but might make you feel a bit cozier Brew hope you feel better after some sleep

BitOutOfPractice · 06/09/2017 22:44

I didn't eat. Single morsel of the halloumi Halo

Oh paws that's a horrible stage. Get well soon Flowers

Star excellent work on the Halloumi front [BOOP]

Good Luck for today Niki!!!

10.7 and was perfect yesterday - Annoying!

CinnamonSweet73 · 07/09/2017 08:23

Good luck in the interview Niki and well done in the weight loss!

Well done BOOP on not eating the halloumi!

I didn't make the gym all week but have been spinning this morning, have done well in the food though except for a sneaky G&T Tuesday night after a tough day! Down 2lb to 12st 6 so am happy with that.

Have a good day everyone!

BitOutOfPractice · 07/09/2017 08:33

What the bloody hell have I got to do to lose weight Angry

TVHubbyClaire · 07/09/2017 08:48

best of luck in your interview Niki

BOOP that is so annoying. I am the same as yesterday but i wasnt as golden as you. You deserved a loss

In other news.....I managed a paltry 4,900 steps yesterday and am sunk by what I would need to do over next 4 days to get 70,000 for week.
Having done 11 I reckon that leaves 59 so c15,000 a day. That is not practical so its now damage limitation for week 1Blush. Wish I'd never said i'd do this stupid thing Angry

coffeeandrainbows · 07/09/2017 09:06

Good luck with the interview Niki!

Perhaps an indeterminate ankle/knee injury for this week TV and then start again next week? Wink or just jump rope in the evening to get those steps in? I don't have a step counter so have no idea how long you might have to jump rope for to get that many steps in...

BitOutOfPractice · 07/09/2017 09:07

7 days of 1000 calories a day. No booze. Exercise every day. Nothing. Bastard stubborn weight

PrimalLass · 07/09/2017 09:33

I've been really good too, and nada. Considering the egg thing now.

HappyGowerGirl · 07/09/2017 09:42

That's so frustrating Boop. Keep at it though! It will come off! Are you near your goal weight? Sometimes things really slow down then...

Good luck Niki!!!

HairsprayBabe · 07/09/2017 09:48

Are you drinking enough water BOOP too much caffeine?
Is everything "regular" so to speak?

I am having a golden weekend this weekend, fx for a proper loss on Monday. Was hoping to be lower today tbh I haven't seen 10.4 since before my holiday....

BitOutOfPractice · 07/09/2017 09:55

HappyGower I've lost 4 stone. I'd like to lose 10-14lbs more. I've had my eye off the prize all summer so I was hoping that my body would think my September push as a new diet so to speak. Apparenty not!

Hairspray water is all I can think of tbh. I have a big jug on my desk now

I have 3 coffees a day usually. Is that too much?

OP posts:
QuimReaper · 07/09/2017 10:07

Oh BOOP that is so annoying, but don't forget you're a "whoosher" - didn't you once lose almost 5lbs overnight after a holiday? And also you have lost weight, you lost 1.5lbs in the first couple of days! I know you'd hope for more but at least it's on its way down.

On the last day of my last Golden Stint I couldn't resist a sneaky penultimate weigh-in. It was early afternoon and I'd already eaten a very small amount, so I didn't take it too seriously, but I was thrilled, and couldn't wait to see what the final weigh-in would be like, first thing and with another fast day under the belt. I walked 28,000 steps that day and hardly ate a scrap. First thing the next morning I was apparently 400g heavier Confused No. Sense. Whatsoever. There is so much going on in our bodies with weight loss, we all know it's a law unto itself.

You're doing stunningly well though, at 1000 cals a day + gym trips you must be vanishing before our eyes!

QuimReaper · 07/09/2017 10:12

Also, mad props on the halloumi. That is a physical impossibility for me.

paws that's the worst bit Sad DH is a bit bunged up and snotty and I had a twinge of a sore throat a couple of days ago so I got paranoid we were about to come down, but I'm fine now - I wonder if something's going around. Goodness, I hope I don't get it next week, I'm starting a Golden Stint on Monday and if I have a cold I'll just want to eat carbs.

BitOutOfPractice · 07/09/2017 10:15

My stomach does feel as if it might be a tiny bit smaller Under the flab it feels firmer after the abs exercises I've been doing. I'm trying to carry on the abs challenge I did in August

BitOutOfPractice · 07/09/2017 10:29

I'm not doingthat much *Hairspray. And my muscle / fat stats don't seem to have changed either

140 cals for lunch big rainbow salad with some roasted fennel and a little bit of chilli oil.

I have not drank nearly enough today, thanks for the reminder Boop

leesmum · 07/09/2017 14:37

SpuriouserAndSpuriouser · 07/09/2017 17:25

Boop I'm sure you must be due a whoosh soon! KOKO, it sounds like you are having an amazingly golden week!
