Rules are: be kind, no judging, have a sense of humour, weigh on Wednesday mornings... and no training with Amanda Grin

@YouBoggleMyMind @recklessgran @MrsMummyBx @emilyjeff and others! Here's a brand new spanking thread.

New starting weight: 14st exactly.

No plans for the weekend. Yippee! Will be on my usual pub lunch with g/f today but otherwise I think DH and I have a rare weekend to ourselves.I'm not ruling out the usual Saturday cake outing but otherwise hoping for a quiet one.In terms of healthy eating it's likely to be a bit of an uphill struggle given that DH thinks that the jam in his Swiss roll counts as one of his 5 a day. There's not much hope for him is there? Why is he so infuriatingly slim?

MoonNoodles · 02/08/2019 10:54

Morning all,

Had an interview that went super well yesterday. Wont hear back for at least a week as they have more intetviews next week but fingers crossed.

Downside is that yesterdays eating was not amazing. Breakfast was a super sugary iced mocha coffee. Just that. No lunch. And then dinner was chip shop chips and a soda. Which usually I dont have soda.

According to MFP I stayed under my calories for the day but still not healthy eating. Trying to get back on it today.

TinselAndKnickers · 02/08/2019 17:26

Well done, fingers crossed for the interview!

I still have no appetite, I haven't eaten yet and I'm not even hungry for anything. So scared when it comes back I'll put all my weight back onSad

I've had a horrible stressful day at work which lead to me eating nothing and having no lunch break. All I've had today is a large skinny latte from the cafe in the office building. Out for dinner with SIL tonight and we are off to Prezzo so lots of cals to be consumed. I need a large glass of wine 😓

TinselAndKnickers · 04/08/2019 16:29

I'VE HIT THE STONE!!!!

Today I am 13st 5lb

One stone down officially. Obviously not the best method but I'm bloody proud none the less. ONE STONE!!!

Two more to go Smile

WOW!@Tinsel I am so, so pleased for you. I hope you feel great and can keep going now. That is an epic loss in record time too. Brilliant.

emilyjeff · 05/08/2019 13:34

Congratulations Tinsel a whole stone is amazing!
I had a pretty good weekend, ate mostly healthily apart from fish and chips friday night. Feeling a bit down for some reason today :( and so tired all the time, don't know whats wrong with me. We have a long weekend in the caravan planned for this weekend coming so hopefully that will help restore my mojo x

TinselAndKnickers · 05/08/2019 22:25

Thanks everyone!!

It's the start of the month so that means a weigh in and new goals.

August start weight: 13st 7lb
Goals: to get close to 13st and start eating healthy food and portions again. Also increase exercise to boost my endorphins!

OP posts:
MoonNoodles · 06/08/2019 11:17

Congrats @TinselAndKnickers that is brilliant just wish it was better circumstances. you are eating something though right?

Oh I have never thought to set a monthly goal. Hmmm I think my August goal will be to fit a new size. I am between sizes now where the smaller one is a bit too tight so being able to fit the smaller one comfortably would be awesome.

MoonNoodles · 07/08/2019 07:50

Good Morning all,

Wednesday morning weigh in and I am down 2 lbs! Woohoo. Hope you all are doing well and fingers crossed for everyone!

That brings my total for 2019 to 3 stone. Eeeep! Grin

recklessgran · 07/08/2019 08:06

Morning all this weigh day Wednesday.
Last week; 13st 5.75lbs
Today; 13st 5lbs
So it's .75lb loss for me. I haven't been that good so I'm not surprised but a loss is a loss. I've got 3 and a half weeks to lose 4lbs in order to finally make the stone loss since I started. @MoonNoodles 3 stone is awesome! I can't seem to even get to the stone. Must try harder!

emilyjeff · 07/08/2019 08:18

Well done ladies
I was 10st 9.5 so same as last week, not all that surprised tho didn't eat very healthily yesterday- went up north for days training and they provided pizza for lunch!
Anyway back on it today.
As for monthly goal, Id like to be 10st7 by end of Aug x

TinselAndKnickers · 07/08/2019 12:05

Congrats MoonNoodles!!! Amazing achievement, I'm so jealous! And well done reckless and Emily. We're all getting there slowly but surely.

Last week 13st 7.5lb
This week 13st 5.5lb

So an overall loss of 2lb which I'm pleased with Smile

MoonNoodles · 09/08/2019 13:20

Awh thanks ladies. Well done all.

Just came to update: I got the job!!! Woohoo!! Grin Star

TinselAndKnickers · 09/08/2019 13:37

Yes!!!!! Well done StarStar Lots of good things happening on this thread. Congratulations!

Because I haven't been eating properly, last night I had a few drinks and I was absolutely smashed Blush turned into a proper lightweight!

OP posts:
recklessgran · 09/08/2019 23:14

Ha! Ha! @Tinsel I am also a lightweight and do a good turn of dancing on tables when smashed! Off to Surrey tomorrow for a family party. Will be up early to turn 8 loaves into fancy pants sandwiches as our contribution. [DH and his brother used to take turns to host the annual family get together but since we massively down sized we don't have room, hence I like to make a decent contribution to the catering.] DD3 is here so will give me a hand and we'll collect DD1 on the way. DD5 is making tons of sausage rolls and will meet us there as she is already south. DD4 is on duty in A and E and couldn't swap her rota. I think she's secretly relieved as she's a bit of an introvert and hates being asked about people's medical issues when she's off. Unfortunately at these family occasions certain hypochondriac family members tend to corner her and she is often looking for a rescue!Hope everyone is doing O.K. I'm going to try hard not to eat or drink too much tomorrow but looking forward to seeing everyone.

emilyjeff · 12/08/2019 10:44

Hey ladies, glad everyone is doing well. Congrats on the job moonnoodles and hope family party went well reckless
I had a nice relaxing weekend, caravanning and meeting up with friends. Ate too much tho. Pretty standard, all goes to shit at the weekend and then every monday I am back on it! Determined to get more exercise in this week too, gonna pick up running by starting from week 5 of couch to 5k, think I do better when someone is telling me exactly what I should be doing!
Anyway I'm at work so best get on x

emilyjeff · 12/08/2019 20:21

OMG someone needs to actually tape my mouth up! I'd been good all day but came home and literally just munched my way thru the cupboards :( Now feeling so annoyed with myself.
Anyone have any tips on stopping binge eating? So pissed off, weds weigh in is prob gonna show me back up to 11 stone

emilyjeff · 14/08/2019 10:22

Weds weigh in....10st 11 so 2lbs gained. Pretty much what I was expecting tbh.
Had a good day yesterday food wise and went for a run. Determined to stay with it this time!
How was everyone elses weds weigh in?

TinselAndKnickers · 14/08/2019 10:43

13 st 5.5lb so a maintain for me. Not too bad considering my appetite is nearly back to normal. I've been exercising a bit more this week and really want to keep it up Smile

OP posts:
MoonNoodles · 14/08/2019 11:16

Down 1 lb. Considering I am on my period and yesterday was a hungry hungry hippo and overate like crazy. I am pleasantly surprised. I didnt expect a loss at all and was really worried about a gain. Plus I overextended at the gym sunday morning so have been waiting for an injury to recover. Going back tomorrow morning.

Last week at my old job and then new job from monday. So yay! But also training new people is throwing off my routine. So having more coffee or soda and snacking more than I usually do. Which isnt great.

recklessgran · 14/08/2019 14:56

Afternoon all this Weigh Day Wednesday
It's a maintain for me - so 13st 5lbs still.
I'm a bit disappointed as I have been trying hard.
Tomorrow will be a total write off as I'm going to afternoon tea at The Ritz with DD3. I'm a bit excited about that and trying to figure out which dress to wear as the weather isn't as good as I'd hoped so not sure the beautiful dress I had in mind will be right. DD3 is on her way so I'll go through my wardrobe with her when she arrives.
Hope everyone is doing O.K.and staying on the wagon!

emilyjeff · 14/08/2019 16:33

Glad to hear your appetite is returning tinsel And well done on the 1lb loss moonnoodles the hungry hippo is what I was doing on monday evening!
Afternoon tea at the Ritz sounds amazing reckless I'm sure you'll have a fab time.
Crap weather here atm but we are caravanning again this weekend as it is my birthday. Planning some walking, reading, relaxing, play some games. Mum and Dad are coming to meet us for a meal too but I am determined not to eat too much! x

recklessgran · 14/08/2019 20:14

@emily hope you have a lovely birthday and enjoy your meal out with your parents. Hope the weather improves - it's very wet here ATM. DD3 has arrived and has just set up a Christmas spreadsheet for me. I usually use a notebook to organise everything but she is determined to modernise me one way or the other! Can't mention the C word here to DH before 1st December but it's a big gig for me so I like to start getting everything booked up now and then start the present shopping.

MoonNoodles · 15/08/2019 12:08

I am like your DH @recklessgran no mention of the C word before 1st December. Though I have been known to have a Christmas in July music and movie weekend. Just to enjoy it because december is always so crazy.
