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.

Evening ladies, fatty mcfat fat is back after a binge eating and drinking weekend. Scared of the damage to be honest but will see what Wednesday brings... friends over for dinner tomorrow evening and I'm making lasagne... how have our weekends been?

recklessgran · 23/04/2019 00:24

Evening all. Don't worry @Youboggle you're not the only one who is struggling! Mad weekend and I haven't been very good food wise. I think it might be another gain for me this week unless I can pull it back by Wednesday. I feel as though I've lost the plot a bit so need to get back on top of this food lark. All DD's except DD4 have gone now so no excuses there! DD4 has a week off but she is very health conscious so I won't be led astray by her. Hope the rest of you are doing O.K.

Hi Fatty McFatfat, I'm Bingy McCalorieAbsorber.

I've well and truly fallen off the wagon! Feeling a bit low recently and I don't think that helps with trying to lose weight. Had a busy weekend though and no time to think about food choices, only shoving in what's convenientBlush

YouBoggleMyMind · 23/04/2019 10:50

I think it's going to be a big line draw tomorrow for us all? Can we commit to being good after that?

YouBoggleMyMind · 23/04/2019 10:52

In other news, my baby took his first steps this weekend 💙 he's still wobbly but he's defo on his way! So proud Grin

TinselAndKnickers · 23/04/2019 14:07

Yes! Although exams are looming so may save my Easter chocolate for them.

Yaaaay congrats mini Boggle!! That's fantastic Smile💛

recklessgran · 23/04/2019 14:21

Ah @YouBoggle you can be forgiven ANYTHING! You must be SO proud - fantastic achievement and another milestone reached, your darling DS is catching up really fast now.

Just had 2 slices toast and marmite for lunch [small Warburtons] so not too bad. Quiche and salad for dinner - may be a bit of left over turkey from the weekend would be a wiser choice!
Sneaky weigh this morning puts me .75lb more than last week. Hoping to have a maintain tomorrow but suspect it will be another gain - so yes, drawing a line tomorrow for a fresh start!

TinselAndKnickers · 23/04/2019 19:15

Feeling so rubbish the last few days Sad so hard to eat well. However I've had more veggies and rationing my Easter eggs out Grin

Booked onto some classes at the gym which should motivate me somewhat!

How is everyone?

recklessgran · 23/04/2019 21:28

Ah @Tinsel I'm really sorry to hear that. Stacked out with chocolate here and not sure what to do with it. DH will eat his way through it eventually but I'm going to send most of it home with the DGC's I think. Lovely day at the farm yesterday followed by buffet style dinner. Had the leftovers today. Pretty much dreading the weigh day tomorrow!

recklessgran · 24/04/2019 10:40

Good morning.
Weigh day for me and it's another gain as I expected.
13st 4.25lbs. Damn. .75lbs on since last week.
Back to where I was 5 weeks ago.
I'm so cross with myself.
It's going to have to be fasting for me if I want to get anywhere I think.
Hope the rest of you are doing better than I am.
7 weeks today until my holiday. Got to get a move on.

emilyjeff · 24/04/2019 11:32

Hi, didnt want to gate crash but please can I join you all?
Weighed myself this morning...heaviest I've ever been other than when pregnant :(
I want to lose a stone ideally, and to just stop eating junk all the time. My eating and especially snacking has been awful over the easter holidays so I am starting healthy eating from today!
Just wanted to find others in similar situation, hoping this might keep my motivation up

TinselAndKnickers · 24/04/2019 13:18

Maintain for weigh day thank god! Don't know how though. Still fatter than I was 2 weeks ago!

recklessgran · 24/04/2019 16:35

@emilyjeff hi and you're very welcome here. We are all trying to address our issues and support each other in trying to lose weight. It looks as though we're all struggling a bit right now but today is our normal weigh day so a fresh start for the week ahead.

YouBoggleMyMind · 24/04/2019 17:25

Hi lovely team and Emily, welcome.

Didn't have a chance to weigh in today as was out for physio and OT with DS this morning. Physio are happy to see him a few weeks after he's properly walking and it's likely we'll be signed off and OT will see us every so often until DS starts school to make sure there's no other issues out of how poorly he was.

Tinsel I've lost my mojo too. The only thing I feel I'm still in control over is drinking.

optimisticpessimist01 · 24/04/2019 19:06

Hi guys can I join please?!

Weighed myself this morning, 13 stone 7. Been fluctuating between this and around 14 stone for a while now. Time to get serious!

I go on holiday mid-August. Is a 2 stone loss feasible by then do you think?

Signed up to Results with Lucy, £14 a month but it's live classes you can do at home- which is exactly what I would join the gym for, the classes. So in my mind I'm saving money by doing this rather than paying a gym membership to do similar classes

TinselAndKnickers · 25/04/2019 11:47

Hi to all newbies congrats Boggle that's fantastic! I'm pleased for you and your lovely DS. It's good that you feel in control of drinking! It shows all hope is not lost 

@optimisticpessimist01 you can at least lose 1 stone if not 1.5 by then! Your at home classes sound good, but I'd be so lazy with that Grin

emilyjeff · 25/04/2019 22:02

Evening ladies, well so far so good. I've done two days of healthy eating and feeling pretty good. Not had any chocolate/ biscuits/cake which is my usual downfall.
Weekend will be the next challenge though!

Results with Lucy sounds good, I'd be interested to hear how you get on. I'm fairly active, have my own horse and so ride 3-4 times a week. Also do a bit of running on and off so going to try and run a bit more regularly.

TinselAndKnickers · 25/04/2019 23:13

Well done Emily Smile god you're active! You're on a roll girl Grin

My all over body pain is back and I can't even sit up Sad the good news is I have not touched any Easter chocolate yet apart from some mini eggs so I'm not any heavier Grin longggg fast tomorrow hopefully. How are you lot getting on

recklessgran · 26/04/2019 00:32

Hello all. I've been shocking. Having a bread fest - I have no idea why. I'm in danger of just gaining all I've lost if I don't pack this in.HELP!

TinselAndKnickers · 26/04/2019 10:29

You've done well so far!! Step away from the bread Grin

I've got a blessing in disguise - tonsillitis! It means I can't swallow very well so no cramming lots of crap into my gob absentmindedly!! Bloody hurts tho Gin

TinselAndKnickers · 26/04/2019 22:16

@YouBoggleMyMind @recklessgran you bloody get back here! Grin hope you are both okay. We have got this girls slow and steady wins the race!! ❤️

recklessgran · 26/04/2019 22:26

Ha! Ha! @Tinsel poor you, sorry you feel like shite but please can I have your sore throat? Sorry been AWOL I have been in Birmingham today with DD3 visiting the National Trust Back to Back houses. I 've had a brilliant day [twas a birthday present] but food not so good - lasagne and salad and chips in Ask. Oh well, I am back on this tomorrow. Come on girls we've got this!

YouBoggleMyMind · 27/04/2019 00:46

Hi Tinsel and Reckless, sorry. DS has been poorly with a nasty cough and cold so been a bit all over the place with lack of sleep. Got a heavy day tomorrow with my 2 SILs so hopefully I can start from scratch on Sunday. I haven't weighed myself recently but prolly have gained.

TinselAndKnickers · 27/04/2019 05:56

That day sounds lovely reckless and I bloody love lasagne! Especially with chips Smile

Boggle oh no so sorry to hear about mini Boggle! Hope he is feeling better soon. Enjoy today - I need to start from scratch too.

I've had two sleepless nights with this stupid tonsillitis which is developing into a fever - I keep trying to be sick but it's too painful Sad made a lovely mango coconut and chilli curry yesterday and couldn't even eat any! MyFitnessPal said it was worried about me as I hadn't consumed enough calories Grin there's a bloody first!

YouBoggleMyMind · 27/04/2019 12:44

I'm sorry you're not feeling well Tinsel. Perhaps you have TINSELitis! 😂😂😂😂

DS is still coldy but he slept a bit better last night so hopefully he's on the mend. I'm not too bad with lack of sleep but DH finds it hard. I'm just on the train to meet my SILs for a good catch up, good food and good drink.
