I LOVE empty shelves!

TulipsInbloom1 · 29/01/2019 06:59

Yaaaaay Fridge and good luck to all those weighing in today.

I'm dreading the scales; have had a hideous weekend, am due on, and feeling under the weather. I had cheese on toast last night for tea.

Same Tulips.
I'll weigh in a sec. Am brewing a chest infection so am lying in bed wth bubbly lungs, feeling extremely sorry for myself. January has been non stop bloody illness.

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 07:22

I can't actually see a difference, again!

TulipsInbloom1 · 29/01/2019 07:26

A bad day yesterday, I ate shovelled down dcs leftovers and 7 biscuits for dinner with my healthy salad.

It's a combination of period, the shitty weather, stbexh moving out and maybe because I had put on weight but I felt low.

Anyway I weighed myself today and am 1/2 lb down on last Tuesday to 144.8 lbs. it is annoyingly slow but pushes my bmi to 24.9 which was my January target. For February I'd like to go down to 140lbs which is 1lb a week.

Well donefridge it's great to get back into old clothes!

I hope everyone else has done well.

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 07:27

Tulips can you?

God, I can't wait to see the 13's again...

TulipsInbloom1 · 29/01/2019 07:32

You will be lapping me soon fridge

Fridge, I definitely can! The top of your stomach is definitely thinner, probably other parts too, but that one is very noticeable.

I thought I wouldn't lose anything as had a very bad Sunday with endless snacking and too much food. Yesterday was good but I still felt pretty bloated. Must remember to drink more water, it's easy when I'm at work, as it's in front of me, but at home I forget.

Anyway, I lost 2lbs! So I've ducked under 11st. It was 10.13.0 so I hope I can squeeze out another lb by the end of this month.

Fiontar649 · 29/01/2019 07:45

15 st on the nose. 1 lb off this week, 16 lbs for January. I had hoped to hit 14s, but happy to have had a loss.

I feel sluggish the last few days. I think I need to mix my meals up a bit. Will have a think!

LittleDoritt hope you feel better soon
Tulips and Stealth - bet you both get a "woosh" next week!
Fridge your waist is becoming more defined.

Fiontar649 · 29/01/2019 07:46

Cross-post Carrot - well done, that's a great loss

mrbob · 29/01/2019 07:59

Wow there are some amazing losses there!

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 08:02

Do you think it would be ok to REALLY push myself this week, so I can get under the 200's by next week?

LittleDoritt · 29/01/2019 08:06

Well done everybody!
1lb on for me this week, but that's totally my own fault. Still 7lbz down for January. Be nice to do that again in Feb!

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 08:09

Little 7lb in a month is mintage! If I lost 7lb every month, I'd be at my target weight by Christmas!

PrivateCello · 29/01/2019 08:12

Yes go for it Fridge why not? Motivation is high and right now is the right time. For me personally I find I struggle to lose weight when it’s warmer as everyone is wearing nice clothes and looking slim so I tend to feel low and get demotivated and discouraged. I feel right now is a great time to lose weight for me as everyone is wearing big coat and scarves etc. I am also really hoping to push myself in feb so I can be at the lower end of 70s.
Tulip and Stealth I suspect a whoosh will be here soon! Great progress carrot, well done!

LittleDoritt · 29/01/2019 08:13

Me too - just! Grin

PrivateCello · 29/01/2019 08:13

Also well done to LitteDorritt & Fiontar! Keep going x

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 08:30

I've just tried on all of my size 16's.

Most of the pants won't even go past my thighs- but a few of the tops actually fit! I look fat in them...but I AM fat, so what did I expect? 🤣

Super excited!

There's something else I need to do today. I'm admitting it here, because I need to admit it SOMEWHERE...

I have to call my local Addaction service, and admit that I have an issue with booze.

I'm getting shit sorted. Today.

WhenCanISleepAgain · 29/01/2019 08:31

Well done everyone for keeping going! I’m 2.2lbs down this week which I’m very pleased with. Feeling very grateful for the encouragement of this group.

WhenCanISleepAgain · 29/01/2019 08:33

Well done on your clothes fridge and good luck with your phone call. That’s an important step.

AFridgeTooFar · 29/01/2019 08:37

When yay!!!! A whole bag of sugar!!!

fatcatshavemorefun · 29/01/2019 08:52

Have had a good week but it’s weekends that are difficult for me - had a big blowout meal in posh restaurant for a family birthday with wine on Saturday night Blush
Anyway, scales show I’m down a whole kilo from last Tuesday so that’s a relief! Only 2.3kg to goal for me now.
Well done to everyone, keep going!

WhenCanISleepAgain · 29/01/2019 09:20

Thanks fridge - I’ve just gone to get a bag of sugar out of the cupboards to check what it feels like. Feel very happy about losing that! Well done to fatcats too - you’ve also lost a bag of sugar this week.

StealthNinjaMum · 29/01/2019 10:11

fridge I can see a difference under your boobs! I hope the call goes well. I don't know if there's an underlying problem or trauma that caused your issues with eating or drinking but be kind to yourself.

littledorritt well done on January. If you repeated that it'd be a stone by the end of Feb.

whencan and not sofatcats. That's fantastic progress for the fourth week of a diet.
