It's flaming June. Join the Slenderistas to burn off the calories and look HOT this month by losing 7lbs

[BitOutOfPractice]

You know I've jinxed the weather this month with that thread title

Here's a link to May's Thread

Let's lose the Lindas. All welcome as we try and shift 7lbs in a month

Well Hello Slenderistas! Long time no type. Have been following from a distance but haven’t yet posted in June, think I’ve possibly lost a lb or two but no major revelations here. I am over a stone lighter than when I first became a slenderista though!

This weather is good for my efforts as it’s salad salad and more salad 🤣

Have a great Monday! X

Morning all. Official weigh in this morning shows a 1.1 pound loss in last Monday. Not great really but better than the alternative!

Hello slenderistas. Bit of a shit couple of months due to family bereavement and I have apparently eaten my way through grief. I am huge.

I am attempting to claw my way back into the wagon but it keeps pulling off without me and leaving me head first in a puddle of cake.

Help me slenderistas, I keep managing a couple of decent small eating days then failing and ending up more than ever.

Realistically I'm not going to be able to catch up so this is more a soft start to joining in July thread when it's time

That's awful Koko, I would be really shaken up by something like that. Useless wanker. Says far more about his sense of self that he needs to put others down.

So sorry to hear about your bereavement Kiki. I think soft start is fine - main thing is not to give yourself a hard time, just do what you can for now.

Koko - that sounds horrible. Don’t dwell. Don’t let the bugger get you down. Some people are just horrible.

Hi Kiki - sounds like you had good reason to fall off the wagon. Don’t beat yourself up. Planning to start again in July is a good idea. Make a plan, do a healthy shop, start drinking lots of water. Plan in some exercise - to make you feel better as much as for weight loss.

Yesterday turned out to not be a great day food wise. I definitely went over my cals for the day. I drank half a bottle of red wine. But I enjoyed it. I did a circuits class and I’m not in agony today. Today is a new day.

Although I set my alarm to get up early to get my walk done before it gets hot and I didn’t actually do it. But I will! I’ll go straight after school drop off.

And I need to massively up my water intake.

Goodness me koko and kiki, you poor things.

Kiki grief is a question of survival, you did what you had to do to survive and there is absolutely no right or wrong way. I like the idea to a soft start to July, just by posting you'll be starting to get your head in the game and as we all know that's half the effort! You really need to take care of yourself though, just be sure you're not adding the stress of food worries onto the stress of grief, that won't help at all.

koko that's a horrid thing to have happened! Assuming it was nothing personal, just think of it like a real-life troll and try to think of them with all the scorn they deserve.

Thank you all

Hello. Sorry I've been a bit awol. I've been really busy but not too bad with food but I can't say the same for wine

Kiki I'm really sorry for your loss. Be kind to yourself, grief can be such a roller coaster

Koko what an arsehoke he was (I assume it was a he). Pay no heed to him he's not worth an inch of headspace

Kiki So sorry for your loss. At times like this, just focus on self-care, give your body and soul what they need. A soft-start into July sounds great, even just planning some new recipes or getting excited about a new gym class might be enough to lift you and just ENOUGH for you right now. Ready for next month when you've built up to it

Koko as PP have said, how awful that some random stranger hurled abuse at you. What a terrible person! Whatever they said to you, I've no doubt it says more about them than about you, and you can go to sleep knowing you are one thousand times a nicer person than them.

I've had another good day and feeling less disastrously blobby. Weigh in was not actually significantly worse than it was last time I was hanging around the threads though I'm definitely more voluminous.

But I've had a nice day and it's good to have a bit of positivity even though I started it with an emotional wobble.

Hi all! Been away for a couple of days at a uni open day with DS. Lots of walking. But food not great. Breakfast and lunch ok but dinner not. Some wine. Some chocolate. And found it very hard to work out my calories. So putting those few days to bed.

Was tempted to weigh this morning but we have friends over tonight for a bbq so although the food planned is healthy, there will be dessert and cheese and gin and wine!

Tomorrow I will be back on track seriously. Half a stone by next Saturday when we go on holiday would be good! I can dream!

A more realistic 3 pounds would be fab. And do-able as DH is away from Tuesday.

Where the hell do I start to relate this story.

On 12th of June during the night I had a hot water leak in the kitchen that went on overnight so I got up to a sauna plus some! The water had gone through the floor into my store which houses the washer, dryer and boiler. I’m not even going to try and relate how bad it all was. I ended up with no gas, electricity, water, toilet facilities; the house was just a shell.

I’ve been living in a travel lodge for 2 1/2 weeks with three dogs!

Very little progress has been made in this time although there are now huge fans and dehumidifiers in the kitchen and store trying to dry it all out. There is damp and mould everywhere and the smell is horrendous. This process will be at least 10 days long, and only then can the damage be properly assessed.

I’m not going to go on about it but it has been a true hell. I am sick of people telling me what a strong woman I am, at the moment I’ve had enough and I don’t feel very strong.

So my lovely fellow Slenderistas I have to admit I have eaten my way through the drama. I haven’t weighed but I must’ve gained a stone at least. I’m having to eat out every day and I just keep consuming chocolate and ice cream. I need permission to not slim until this is all over and then it’s going to be a mighty difficult hill to climb to get back on track.

I haven’t been on here since it happened as I haven’t had a lot of time but I hope everyone is doing well and there are no dramas happening that I’ve missed. I haven’t got the energy to read back. I will try and get on here from time to time just to catch up but there is no way I can lose weight at the moment .

Lots of luck to you all on your weight loss.

Oh my goodness me paws how absolutely bloody awful. You poor thing. Surely they can do better than that for your housing. That's horrendous. No wonder dieting hasn't been a priority. Have a squeeze from me

Poorpaws what a nightmare! I'm not surprised dieting isn't a priority. Look after yourself.

Oh God poorpaws that sounds horrendous. Dieting should definitely take a back seat. Just getting through each day is hard enough I’m sure.
