I actually ended on 24k steps as was still at work, I'm on 14k today but think I'm done and will be putting my feet up now til bedtime.

Had about 2 hours sleep last night thanks to dd so ended up having 500 cals of choc for breakfast and chips for lunch down the beach, will probably skip dinner as feeling so knackered so at least I won't be too over cals.

Hope you're feeling a bit better britney must suck being poorly in the heat

DaisyChops · 31/07/2018 17:03

Logic 👏 such a lot of steps, well done! You must have walked the work on your Fitbit!

You have made me feel better about having chocolate breakfast, that was me yesterday (and today hasn't been much better!). If I start the day bad I might as well write off the whole day! I am now thinking that if I can maintain my weight over the school holidays it will be an achievement 🙈

Get well soon Britney BrewThanks

EF well done for getting back on the wagon after the weekend, I'm not quite there yet 🙈

Shedders* you are doing amazing 🏆

Not sure why my post has random * 😂

Thanks for the warm welcome. I’ve been doing well today, we went to the beach and I didn’t have a pasty, ice cream etc like the rest of the family! I opted for a chickpea and lentil dahl- hope that was the right choice. I’m sure it was cooked with more oil/fat than it would have been if I did it at home.
Must do my exercise dvd tomorrow morning to get my steps up!

LogicMakesSense · 31/07/2018 19:29

shedders I haven't read the whole thread so sorry if u have already said but what's the gastric band app you are using?

Shedders · 31/07/2018 19:53

logic it’s VGB hypnosis easyloss. I think it was £7.99 but I read a thread that seemed to have good results for some. There is also a Facebook group u can join that has lots of success stories. I guess u have to be open to it. I think it’s definitely helping me with not snacking and eating slower. I just thought 8 quid is Not a lot to lose if it doesn’t work. But it seems to be for me so far.

SBDB · 31/07/2018 20:09

Had a good day today. Went for lunch with my sister and friend to pizza express and opted for the 600 cal pizza with a salad in the middle. It was really lovely and just enough.
Dinner is sweet chilli chicken noodles so should be ok with that. Haven’t snacked at all really today so I’m really pleased with that!
Well done to everyone with exercise and walking, this is something I must do but I struggle to get motivated in the heat.

LogicMakesSense · 31/07/2018 20:38

I'm trying to find my headphones to see what a free one is like before paying, I'm curious though and even if it doesn't work for me I like the idea of taking a few minutes just for me Grin

Dh has just talked me into McDonald's but I was good and had a grilled chicken wrap for 345cals. Over cals for today but still less than recommended to maintain so will take that.

PlusPrincess · 31/07/2018 20:45

I am starting again tomorrow for the 1,000,001st time. I am fed up of being fat. I tend to blame everything that goes wrong on me being fat which I know isn't the case. So tomorrow I am putting my big girl panties on and am going to attempt to lose weight and get my life in some sort of order xx

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 31/07/2018 21:11

Sorry this dropped off my threads thingy

Im not doing well at all...

But id like to lurk so when i get back to it you're all still here Smile

DaisyChops · 31/07/2018 22:01

Rufus 🙋‍♀️** I wondered where you where! Stick with us as I'm the same, it just snowballs with me, kids sick, no sleep, and omg those new maltester buttons 🙈

I have lowered my expectations to a maintain over the school hols as my kids are full on driving me mad already!!!

PP welcome Smile

DaisyChops · 31/07/2018 22:02

Rufus not shouting at you in bold! I am clearly unable to type tonight!!!

Rufustheyawningreindeer · 31/07/2018 22:34
Grin

S'okay daisy

Ill try not to lose the thread again!!

itsBritneyBeach · 31/07/2018 22:48

@Rufustheyawningreindeer we're still here Grin

I had food poisoning last night so I've eaten the bare minimum today (one bread roll!) hope my scales pick up on this Grin

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 08:57

Oh no @itsBritneyBeach! You've not had the best luck recently! Hope you're feeling better this morning.

I'm really proud of myself. Was surrounded by kitkats, mars bars & luxury cookies yesterday & I didn't eat any despite them being ON MY DESK (how cruel is that?!?). Going to do a weigh in this morning. Wish me luck

SBDB · 01/08/2018 09:05

Good luck @happytobemrsb hope you get the result you want and well done on the willpower yesterday! That is seriously impressive willpower!

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 09:13

Lost 0.5lb since Saturday. I really should just weigh in once a week

Shedders · 01/08/2018 09:19

That’s ok happy it’s only Wednesday. Well done for avoiding all that chocolate. That’s some
Serious will power. I had a good day yesterday. On with another good day today. Hope u are all feeling positive today. Good luck 😉

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 10:23

Thanks @Shedders & @SBDB. Was hoping for more of a weight loss but what can you do?! These last few pounds have always been the most difficult to shift. I've lost 3.5lb since 17th July. Not great

itsBritneyBeach · 01/08/2018 11:05

@happytobemrsg don't be silly you're doing amazing!

DaisyChops · 01/08/2018 13:49

MrsG bet you have lost inches! I never measured this time, I normally do as I can't take the risk of someone finding a 'before' photo on my phone as I would just die!

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 16:11

Sorry I was just disappointed this morning. I'm the lowest I've been for over a year, but I guess I'm just impatient. I'll keep going because I have no choice - I have a party in September & I refuse to squeeze into a dress!

itsBritneyBeach · 01/08/2018 18:24

I had to retake my "before" photos from earlier this year as I'm even fatter now 😂😂😂

Oh well! Today's not been so bad.

2 x small bacon rolls (I NEEDED them, promise)
1 x bowl of granola

Dinner will be chicken thighs and Mediterranean vegetables, maybe some rice too.

And noooo snacksGrin

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 19:39

Very healthy @itsBritneyBeach well done!

happytobemrsg · 01/08/2018 19:40

I haven't got any before photos - it's bad enough reporting my weight!
