BigMoFos Week 56

[JackieNo]

Fresh new week.

Won't be around for a few days - off to my mum's in Pembrokeshire. Speak to you all when I get back.

Have a great time JackieNo, hopefully the weather'll pick up

We are very quiet aren't we... must remember to post more often so this thread doesn't slip out of my "threads I'm on" page.

Doing OK this week, a small loss I think

WWB if it's OK I would prefer to post my weight next week... am trying hard as dd needs a crown for dressing up and I know I can get one here if I try hard

KC, pmsl @ "ohh that was yummy was else can I eat that tastes that yummy" I have days (weeks?) like that amidst the emotional binging.

DH and I are both trying hard atm and there is nothing yummy in the house... just lots of fruit which is nice enough but is not cake

We all need to get our arses into gear, I think. It's getting too easy to let it slip.

I'm not listing the weights this week; I'm going to give everyone another week to get their acts together and send me starting weights and then we'll start again with a vengeance on Thursday next week. That'll give those ditherers a chance to pull themselves together (not mentioning any names but giving a hard stare to KC and coppertop ) and give me chance to catch up with myself a bit.

I've been crap with food this week. And the days I've been good I've felt so edgy, as if something is missing when I'm not shovelling food in my gob. It's an almost physical need to eat rather than just greed (although it is just greed). And I'm like you, KC; I don't feel as if I want to give up eating nice things.

Missed off half my post ...

Have a good few days off, Jackie; hope the weather picks up for you.

Cheesy - that's fine ... hopefully you'll have some competition for your crown though

That crown is mine I tell you, mine

[determined]

(I am going to look very silly next week aren't I? May have to lie about my starting weight to get it )

Now then ... we'll have no fibbing on this thread, thank you very much

Any more takers for a nice restart? Where are all the old timers - DottyDot, Fauve, all the rest? Anyone up for a swift boot up the backside?

Count me in WWB!

I thought I'd been reasonably good this week but the scales this morning say otherwise!

I'm trying to convince myself that its all hormonal and due to the fact that I missed a month of HRT and that AF should be visiting but apparently isn't!

But I know in my heart of hearts that the cake I consumed yesterday to celebrate little Bro's Birthday, and the High Tea at mums on Sunday, and the lack of gym visits, and the general over eating of the last week are really to blame

I will put it behind me and behave in a more controlled fashion this week!

"lots of fruit which is nice enough but is not cake " tee hee hee so true

I am in too!!! Since the wedding i have lost/put on between 0.5 and 2lbs so need to get my arse into gear.

Have not been posting cos i have been yoyoing up and down It is soooo much easier to post and be positive when you are losing but i feel like crap when i gain so don't post and feel more crap(groan).

Will email my weight after tonight's weigh in.

Lost 2.5 so celebrated with a massive steak and bottle rose lol!!

Well done Agalch!

For the weight loss that is....not necessarily the form of celebration!

LOL LMS

Have been terribly good so far today.Porridge for brekkie and salad for lunch,making low fat healthy Scottish Slimmers pasta bake for dins so no excuses for a takeaway ect tonight!!

May be going out for a short "run" with Dh tonight.Not sure if my pelvic floor will stand it tho

Hope everyone is doing ok today xx

oh so glad to see the mOFOs again!

MTPW - FANTASTIC - well done

kewc - your DS is indeed v.gorgeous

I shall be joning in again - WWB, someone needed to take charge and you stepped up to the plate. Completely up for a restart.
I haven't been emailing, am also a bit confused with the time difference, wondered if I should do Friday am but it's too complicated - will stick to Thu am my time. So will start emailing again. Have lost 5 pounds since I 'rejoined'

It will be a long week this time, so the first weigh-in proper will be next Thursday - am happy to take your weight whenever it suits you to send it, MrsJC. If anyone else wants to send me a new starting weight, or let me know their totals, that would be great.

Sorry am being lazy and can't be bothered to read back - are we doing weights again?

Cos I would like to have been crap recently and I really am in mood to try hard

yes Ellie WWB is making us start again next week [sulky emoticon]

It's for your own good, you know. I'm only doing it because I care ...

I'm back! Had a very nice few days - one large shower of rain on Friday morning, but otherwise mostly sunny. Lovely. Mind you, I weighed myself on my mum's scales (they looked very cheap, and it was on pretty fluffy carpet, excuse, excuse etc ) and although my scales make me just over 14.5 stone, hers made me 16 stone. So I'm ignoring that. But maybe now would be the time to go out and buy some digital scales - I could re-weigh myself and have that as my new starting weight. Any recommendations (apart from 'don't do it')?

Morning all!!

It's pouring here again.Didn't go for my run on Friday cos DH is ill with (man) flu poor soul.Went to gym Friday and Saturday and did cardio for half an hr and wee bit of weights.

Eating has gone to pot at weekend as always.Should be able to be focused till Thursday hopefully.Dd's unwell again too so that always has me eating crap.Easier and quicker to eat rubbish when i don't have time to chop and prepare a SS meal.

Had a shit time with mum and brother a couple of weeks ago(long boring same old same old stuff) and i went straight back to my old ways and was binging and eating enotionally cos i felt i couldn't cope. Will that ever go away or will i always do it in times of stress or when i am in meltdown situations??

Anyhow gonna get my arse into gear again and give myself a shake!!

Hope you are all ok and up for this xxx

Hi all!

I think meltdown situations will always produce the binge effect Agalch . They certainly do in my case and my skinny friend who has to eat to get her weight up (I dream of the doctor instructing me to eat MORE cake!!!!)finds meltdown moments leave her unable to eat! So I guess we all have a programmed response which doesn't change, but maybe we can find other ways of dealing with stressful but not necessarily 'meltdown' situations so that when the meltdown ones come along they don't cause quite so much damage.

Not sure if any of that makes sense!!!!

I was actually doing Ok until we went to Gunwharf because dd's school choir were singing, and they had a visiting French market. We returned home laden with delicious cheeses, pate and sausisson (sp?). It's gonna be hard to fight the greed and eat sensibly!

Hi again all!!

We are all being very quiet on here lol.

Littlemisssensible i do know what you mean about the meltdowns.Even as i am stuffing my face to make me feel better i know it will ultimatly make me feel crap but even that doesn't stop me

I probably am not quite as bad as i used to be thank god or all the weight i have lost would have gone back on by now.

Feeling lonely so come on you lot,come and keep me company here lol.

have a good day all xx

Hi Agalch!

It is a bit quiet isn't it!

How is DD? Does she feel any better yet?

Hi all

Well following all my bravado earlier this week I rather suspect the crown will go elsewhere

Just can't get my head around it atm

Am also emotionally binge eating and I hate it.
