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.

I am due on holiday soon, 6th April, so probs shouldn't eat that Blush tomorrow I'll be good I swear! Back to the gym. Your day tomorrow sounds lovely reckless Smile

YouBoggleMyMind · 24/03/2019 18:15

Why is food and drink just so damn yummy... I'm destined to be this weight forever I think! Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 24/03/2019 18:28

I've had a big roast with lots of veggies at lunch and some ice cream as a treat - not too hungry so maybe a light snack later Smile

I agree Boggle it isn't great!! Stupid yummy food.

I'm doing a double gym glass tomorrow with a very low calorie day (well I'm planning on it..) so hopefully it will do some damage control Sad

Bacon and egg roll [failed to exclude the carbs] for brunch in the boathouse at the marina. Lovely walk in the sunshine with DH and DD4. Enjoyed looking at all the narrowboats moored there. I can dream! Love boats.
Chicken in white wine sauce with runner beans and broccoli for dinner. DD4 now on her way home and will call DD3 soon for her mummy call. DD5 is away in Yorkshire, DD1 coming tomorrow and DD2 on Tuesday so that's all bases covered. Phew!
@YouBoggle and @Tinsel you can do this! We are all in a more positive frame of mind than we were in the beginning so that is the most important thing IMO.

YouBoggleMyMind · 24/03/2019 19:07

It's weird cos I have lost no weight but my jeans are defo less tight on the leg... it's strange!

TinselAndKnickers · 24/03/2019 22:21

Looks like I'm going to see a lot of Amanda this week 🤣

Anyone starting a new diet tomorrow 21/1?
TinselAndKnickers · 24/03/2019 22:22

Your weekend sounds lovely reckless and the food even more so! Today wasn't bad eating wise and tomorrow will be even better Smile

Boggle a non scale victory! Well done.

recklessgran · 24/03/2019 22:31

Ha! Ha! @Tinsel - Amanda is your new best friend! Hats off to you for cracking on with all the exercise. I admire that about you as I am naturally LAZY these days. @YouBoggle - skinny jeans then- well done you.
I just made some toast with cheese - we had dinner early because of DD4 needing to get home so I was starving by 9.00pm which is outside my allowed eating window but couldn't resist.
I think I have settled my mind to the fact that I'm not going to have lost the stone by next Sunday but happy anyway that the trend is downwards. Think I will need to do a VLC day tomorrow to make up for the weekend. Why are weekends so hard?

TinselAndKnickers · 24/03/2019 22:34

I am also lazy but very fat so need to try and do something to counteract my bad choices this weekend Grin I am back on my eating windows tomorrow as well. Back in the saddle! You have still lost lots of weight reckless isn't it about 10lb? Fantastic Smile

YouBoggleMyMind · 25/03/2019 09:36

Weekends are so hard Sad
Got on my scales this morning and 0.2lbs of that gain from last week has gone 😂😂😂
Maybe a good couple of days and the other 1lb will go too??
Off to Toddlers with DS and friend shortly. She wants to go to lunch after but I'm going to decline for money and food choice reasons.

YouBoggleMyMind · 25/03/2019 09:37

Also Tinsel, I hope you're not replacing us with Amanda!! I'll be super offended if you have Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 10:19

That 0.2 is good!! I'm avoiding the scales this week as I'm a scaredy cat and can't face it Blush have fun at Toddlers!!

I will not be replacing you with Amanda Grin

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 11:12

@Youboggle - yippee - you're going down, that's the thing - it doesn't actually matter the amount as long as the trend is downwards you will get there! Enjoy your toddler group and time with your friend.
@Tinsel, yes have lost 10.5lbs so far and hoping for another loss on Wednesday but well aware that I have a long way to go so need to keep up especially during the week as weekends seem to be full of foodie treats of one kind or another.
Trying to have a low calorie kind of a day but we'll see!

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 11:29

10lb is so amazing!! I'm so jealous of you and your willpower SadGrin almost a bloody stone!!

I need to get my act together.

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 12:06

@Tinsel - it took me ages to figure out what will work for me but it is major deprivation really. I'm finding it easier now than I did in the beginning because I know that all I have to do is stick to this small window of eating between 1 and 7 and only having 800 calories. I just need to keep doing it and understand that it took me years to get this fat so can't expect to fix it in a few weeks.Don't know how long I'll be able to keep it up. So far nobody has noticed the loss so obviously I've got a long way to go. Will be very pleased if I manage to hit the stone any time soon though.

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 12:22

Eating window 12-8 works for me with calorie counting but I just keep ignoring it Blush it apparently takes people weeks to notice especially if they see you often so don't be discouraged by that! You are doing amazing. Star

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 18:31

The gym has cancelled both of my classesAngryAngryAngryAngryAngryAngry bastards!!!! Might still go for a swim but never do nearly as much work!

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 18:58

No! Quick, run round the block!

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 18:58

Is Amanda sick?

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 19:22

That's what we were told but I've just arrived at the gym to do some half assed swimming and seen Amanda laughing with a pal Shock I feel betrayed!

How has your day been?Smile

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 19:45

O.K.day. What about you? Toast and laughing cow for lunch and sausage penne for dinner. Just had a mini bag of chocolate buttons [under 80 calories] as fancied some chocolate. Really odd that, as I've never been one for sweet stuff until this diet! Just off to spend evening with a g/f - been doing this every Monday for a couple of years since she suddenly lost her DH. Very sad but she's been a good friend to me over the years and she is so down it's hard to know how to help her. [Also, I think my DH quite likes having an evening to himself!]

YouBoggleMyMind · 25/03/2019 19:49

Bloody Amanda!

recklessgran · 25/03/2019 19:52

Yes, Amanda is NOT your friend!

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 20:58

Sounds like a great day reckless and that's so kind of you to think about helping your friend after losing her DH, I'm sure she really appreciates you and your girly evenings!

My dinner was a steak and jacket potato which was lovely Grin how are you doing Boggle?

TinselAndKnickers · 25/03/2019 20:59

Just done a mini aqua and swim by myself and I feel good now which is great Smile
