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.

Oh wow that sounds lovely - hope DS avoids the worst of the cold! Enjoy your weekend, sounds fantastic Grin

recklessgran · 14/03/2019 16:36

Ooh @YouBoggle that sounds lovely - have fun in Cornwall - my favourite county and where we spent our honeymoon 43 years ago!
Been good today so far but can smell the chicken curry in the slow cooker and it's making me feel hungry.This morning I was back to my pre- birthday weight so I have at least undone the naughties from last weekend. Now have until next Wednesday to drop at least 2 pounds if I'm to meet my initial goal. Determined!
Hope you're both having a good day.

TinselAndKnickers · 14/03/2019 16:52

I have had a moment of weakness and eaten lots of chocolate after a stressful morning! However I am doing two exercise classes tomorrow and three over the weekend so this should make up for it Grin

I am really loving jacket potatoes at the moment - soft and fluffy!

TinselAndKnickers · 14/03/2019 19:08

Ah sod it - I'm off for a swim!! My bright pink swimming costume got delivered about an hour ago so I'll try it out Grin who even am I?! Ignoring the masses of chocolate I ate today..

recklessgran · 14/03/2019 19:38

Wow! @Tinsel that is some kind of happy looking costume. Enjoy your swim and don't worry about the chocs!
I'm still bloody working but hey ho!

TinselAndKnickers · 14/03/2019 20:36

It's nicer in real life GrinI had the whole pool to myself and it was so lovely. Ooh that's a late one. Hope you finish soon and can snuggle up with a cuppa!

YouBoggleMyMind · 14/03/2019 20:55

I just ate a curry and drinking a beer. DS is down with us as he's got another cold. What's super exciting is that DH and I have agreed to try for number 2 soon! 😃

TinselAndKnickers · 14/03/2019 21:03

Oh my goodness!! That's so exciting Grin I'm very pleased for you and hope you enjoyed your curry ❤️

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 06:44

Our curry was delicious and now we're on the road. Will stop for McDonald's breakfast on the M5! Nom Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 08:33

Mmm let me know what you have! Have a lovely mini holiday Smile❤️

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 09:24

Sausage and egg McMuffin, hash brown and a latte! DS has his first taste of a hash brown too and loved it! 😃
Just about the head back on the road. Less than 2 hours left to do.

What plans do we have this weekend ladies?

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 09:36

That's my exact order - delicious 😍 aww so pleased he loves hash browns. I can remember thinking it was such a treat to have them when I was little! Grin hoping your journey goes quickly.

I'm off to do TWO gym classes this morning 😱 then will have a healthy ish Nando's later and a mooch round IKEA. Tomorrow maybe a walk and a pub lunch, then back to the gym on Sunday 😴

Do you have any plans for Cornwall? Smile

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 09:58

Oooh we have an IKEA near where we live. I do love a mooch in there! There daim cake is so yummy!

I think we'll go to Padstow but nothing else planned yet.

Well done you doing 2 gym sessions! How was your swim last night?

recklessgran · 15/03/2019 10:07

@YouBoggle that is exciting news about DC2! Hope you have a great time this weekend - would love a bacon and egg muffin meal right now! [Starving] Today is my girly lunch day but first of all we are going to a wholesalers where I'm hoping to stock up on Yankee melts for my burner. Then pub lunch which I will try to keep sensible. Will drop in on DD1 to see how she's doing afterwards.
@Tinsel you are SO focused on this exercise lark that I really admire you. [Sitting here on my fat bum!] I feel tired thinking about it but know it's what I should be doing! Enjoy Ikea - my nemesis - there's always something lovely to buy and you nearly always come out feeling you've got a bargain but I can never get the hang of the layout and the fact that you have to go on a magical mystery tour to find what you want. Showing my age I suspect!
This weekend we are beginning a kitchen redec so first of all we are going to look at flooring before deciding a colour scheme. DH has just finished the bathroom and very pleased with how much better that looks with not too much outlay. New towels are such a treat! I'm a simple soul and these little things make me really happy!
Have a good day and will update later.

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 10:39

Class one done - fucking knackered but the second one is in 10 minutes so it's too late to run away SadGrin my swim was great thanks Boggle - I had the whole pool to myself! Padstow is fantastic - enjoy yourself Smile

I love Yankee Melts reckless - and no don't worry, I hate their layout too Grin I'll have to see if I can resist a cinnamon roll. I'm not so focused that I can't stop eating shit Blush can't believe how unfit I am. I'm so glad we are all here to support each other and become healthier!!

Oh my goodness reckless I am so jealous of a new kitchen! I can only dream 😍🤣

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 11:50

Well I feel embarrassed Sad everyone was way older than me and way slimmer, I couldn't even do some of the moves in the proper way. I hate having Fibromyalgia I'm so unfit!!! For god sake. Really feel shit about myself now - back to being grumpy GrinGrinGrin

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 18:42

Don't compare yourself Tinsel, you are fab for being there and doing your best! Fibromyalgia is so tough! The fact that you're evening trying and it's your second class is awesomeness!!!

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 19:50

Eaten a Nando's for 600 ish calories and feeling better GrinSmile hope you are both having a great weekend!! Thanks Boggle! ❤️

recklessgran · 15/03/2019 19:56

Sorry, no, it's not a new kitchen! Can't afford that. It's just a cheap fix involving redecoration and new flooring! I will love it anyway.
@Tinsel fibro is bloody awful so now I think you are even more wonderful than I already did. I would be laying down not taking myself off to classes..
Hope you're having a lovely time @YouBoggle - I love Cornish pasties and cream teas so it's a good job I'm not there to lead you astray.
Went to pub and had ham and eggs but left the chips. [Felt proud!] Usual J.D and coke to go with it. Just about to make a chicken salad for my dinner. Hope you two are doing O.K.

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 20:00

Still exciting! I am pleased for you Smile I will be lying down tomorrow I can assure you! Well done for leaving the chips - don't know how you did it! Grin

recklessgran · 15/03/2019 22:28

@Tinsel leaving the chips was because I've got this goal in mind so need to get down to 13st 1lb if I want to have lost a stone by the end of March. Also I find the weekends a bit challenging as DH likes to go out for cake and coffee. Might be O.K. tomorrow as he is on a mission to get on with the decorating and I have some sorting out to do - my desk is dire and piled up with crap so that's the first thing to get the treatment!

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 22:46

Very focused, love that!! yes hide away from
The cake GrinCake

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 23:24

Cornish pasty for lunch and a slab of cake for afternoon tea. Small portion of shepherds pie for dinner and a few glasses of wine. DH is snoring next to me. We were up at 5:30 this morning but I'm not quite ready to switch off yet!

TinselAndKnickers · 15/03/2019 23:31

I'm so jealous - I could kill a pasty!!

YouBoggleMyMind · 15/03/2019 23:37

Not going to lie, it was delicious Tinsel! We're off for a roast on Sunday lunch time! There's no way a gain isn't on the cards from this weekend!!
