Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow? Want to be diet buddies? Im 14st7lb my heaviest ever at 5ft4. Need some motivation and willpower. Going to be doing meal substitution with shakes twice a day to kickstart my diet. Was meant to start early in January but it didn’t happen and I’ve slipped. Will be doing My Fitness Pal too.

Ha! Ha! I've been worse than both of you. We popped to the Beefeater in the end. Prawn cocktail and skinny fries with pepper sauce followed by sticky toffee pudding and ice cream along with another JD and coke. Well exceeded calories and doing it all again tomorrow night but probably worse than tonight. Oh well, so lucky to have my lovely family around me - feeling the love tonight although will have to release some of the cash that I have remanded in custody to pay for it all! Don't really care!

TinselAndKnickers · 08/03/2019 23:02

Sounds like you've had a brilliant day! Enjoy your weekend Grin

I love this thread.

recklessgran · 09/03/2019 08:35

So love this thread too. Hope you both have a great weekend - keep going we are all falling off the wagon for one reason or another but crucially all getting back on thanks to the support here.
Aaaargh one and a half pound gain on the scales this morning, going to have to be careful today, birthday weekend or not! Really don't want to undo all the hard work otherwise I'll be one step forward and two back forever as there's always something going on here that I could use as an excuse to eat the wrong things.
Going to the harvester later so I think it will be steak and salad and not a lot else - never mind, it's the company that will be the best thing not the food and I had exactly what I fancied last night so don't need to do it again tonight.Catch up later.

My parents are back from 5 weeks away so we are going over to see them in a bit. I can't wait! The time went quickly apart from the last week when I really noticed they weren't around.

TinselAndKnickers · 09/03/2019 10:49

Have a good weekend pals! Mmmm steak dinner sounds lovely. I'm having a Nando's before cocktails this evening but I'm having all good choices!

Aw enjoy seeing your parents Boggle - I bet you look great Smile

Back on track today! Although no exercise as unwell with bad cold.

I'm going to try to up my protein intake and reduce carbs/ sugar as I think this approach is better for getting rid of 'belly fat'. Not sure how well this will work for me as I normally have a lot of sweet treat things and general high carb intake. I don't eat meat but do eat fish so upping my intake of this.

I've recently discovered that I'm 2 inches shorter than I previously thought which means my 'healthy weight' is about 6 pounds lighter!

Intake today:

2 x toast with peanut butter (now bought some low carb bread to use from tomorrow)

Vegetable soup, edamame bean protein pot, baby bel light

Bass fish fillet in lemongrass sauce with cauliflower rice, broccoli and carrots

2 glasses red wine

Off to bed now so no more snacking !

@Apples welcome back to our little corner of loveliness! It's my birthday weekend so I've been a bit naughty. I weighed 1.25 lbs heavier this morning than I did on my "weigh day" last Wednesday. However, back on track from today as determined to have a loss again this Wednesday no matter how small.
@Boggle I hope you enjoyed your visit to your parents. I'd like to bet that they saw a big change in your confidence [as is obvious to me from this thread] and also a lot of progress with your beautiful DS too!
I would be so proud of you if you were my DD.
@Tinsel hope you had a good night out and not too worse for wear this morning.
Only DD4 left now as others all went home last night. Will make the most of spoiling her before we send her off on her way this evening.Will catch up later - have a good day all.

TinselAndKnickers · 10/03/2019 17:22

Hi again Apples! Well done for getting back on track - a shame about that pesky height making your goal different 

So glad you had a great birthday @reckless, and I 100% agree about @YouBoggleMyMind's confidence Smile it is lovely to see.

I have eaten absolute shit this weekend - 2 McDonald's (one was drunken so doesn't count Grin) and a Pizza Hut buffet lunch in which no salad was consumed! Not to mention the millions of alcoholic fizzy drinks I had yesterday.

Tomorrow I am back on it hard core and ready to kick ass!

YouBoggleMyMind · 10/03/2019 22:25

Thank you Tinsel and Reckless. That really means so much. I do feel like a better person, despite all that I've been through. DS makes me proud and I know that I need to work on making me proud too. Can't do everything overnight though so little steps and I'll get there! Smile

TinselAndKnickers · 10/03/2019 22:27

Wooohooo! That is lovely to here Grin I agree. We will do it!

YouBoggleMyMind · 11/03/2019 12:18

How are we all doing on this blustery Monday?

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 12:18

Afternoon everyone - have a great week!

Breakfast was an orange at 7am to kickstart my metabolism then fasting till 12:30.
Lunch is a jacket potato with beans and cheese
Dinner - undecided Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 12:19

Great minds Boggle!!

recklessgran · 11/03/2019 12:27

Afternoon all. I have been really bad all weekend so now absolutely have to be good! I have only had tea so far. Planning to have soup for lunch and then Basa fillet with green veg for dinner. That should be VLC I hope. Got to undo all the bread/chocolate consumed in the last 3 days otherwise will be a definite gain for me on Wednesday.
Hope you are all feeling properly motivated and having a good day.

YouBoggleMyMind · 11/03/2019 14:41

Great minds indeed! Grin

Poached eggs on toast for lunch for me. Dinner is a fish cake with veg.

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 14:43

Mmm sounds great everyone. I had no beans in the cupboard so I had to have a plain jacket with butter - heartbreaking after waiting so long!! Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 17:29

Taken my little brother to McDonald's as a birthday treat - and I haven't eaten anything! I will eat chicken, rice and veggies before going to my aqua class Grin

recklessgran · 11/03/2019 19:31

@Tinsel I really am in awe of you. There is no way I could possibly go to McDonalds without at least having a large fries. Well done you!
I have had bacon and egg for lunch and soup and basa and green veg for dinner. Out to a g/f's this evening but will only be having a cuppa there.

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 22:30

Mmmm bacon and eggs.. that's tomorrow's breakfast sorted for me! Grin

I really feel good about today - not that it makes up for my terrible weekend, but I've been soooo good. Proud Grin for once!!

Also a woman's boob popped out in my aqua class tonight 🤣 comedy gold!

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 23:03

It's that badboy! Sorry if the link is crap.

I'm glad you have had a good day Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 23:04

Oh god the link is shite. It's called the Misfit Ray - a cheaper Fitbit type thing!

recklessgran · 11/03/2019 23:07

Blimey you two - we are rocking this weight loss thing. Aqua! Yeah, I need to get off my lardy bum and get active. Lazy cow I am. Will have a little chat with myself about this.

TinselAndKnickers · 11/03/2019 23:13

I am still lazy 90% of the time Grin staaaaarving now though! I can't wait to eat my breakfast of bacon and eggs tomorrow mmmmm
