Morning ladies. Had a lovely birthday weekend thanks, finished off with a meal with some friends last night. I have tried to be healthy in my choices even while eating out so hope the damage isn't too bad! Also did quite a lot of walking and found time for a run on sunday morning.
I'm the same I don't get in to christmas until december but then I don't really have many to buy for. You sound very organised anyway reckless the times I have bought things early I then forget what I've bought and where I've hidden it!!

recklessgran · 19/08/2019 11:39

@emilyjeff glad you had a good birthday weekend. I spent Saturday being a domestic goddess [rare!] and cleaned the house top to bottom and did the grocery shopping. Yesterday we went to see DD3 in her beautiful apartment as DH had a few diy jobs to do for her. We took her out for dinner and I fell off the wagon in a very spectacular way. Posh burger and skin on fries. Why? No willpower obviously. Otherwise doing my best to be a good dieter.

emilyjeff · 20/08/2019 19:08

Hi ladies. I've not been very good with my eating the last few days :( Nothing awful but just eating too much generally. Not expecting a loss tomorrow.
I need to do something differently just don't know what. Thinking of fasting, or maybe doing the military diet for 3 days to try and kind of reset my appetite. Any suggestions or recommendations gratefully received x

TinselAndKnickers · 21/08/2019 11:37

Morning all!

13st 5lb again so another maintain Hmm

Thats not bad tinsel better than a gain!
I forgot to weigh this morning, got up late so rushing around. Will do tomorrow instead.

recklessgran · 21/08/2019 12:23

Hello all this weigh day Wednesday
Last week 13st 5lbs
Today 13st 4lbs
That's a pound off for me but I'm still SO frustrated by this yo-yo thing - I don't know really what else I can do. I'm not going to lose the other 3lbs by next Saturday when I go on holiday. I'm blaming the thyroid.
Hope everyone else is O.K. and keeping the faith!

emilyjeff · 22/08/2019 07:42

A loss is still a loss tho reckless!
I was 10st 11 so same as last week. Not surprised.
Anyway off to get DS2 up as it's results day today! x

MoonNoodles · 22/08/2019 13:56

Sorry forgot to report back yesterday. Been at the new job so brain full of new info.

Down 1 lb. Which is good. Struggling to find a new habit or pattern or whatever the right word is for food at the new job. Especially as a lot of my colleagues are thin but eat horribly. And I just cant do that.

MoonNoodles · 23/08/2019 11:02

Morning. Tomorrow is the wedding. Managed to get the dress in the smaller size. I could have gone down another one but thought it wasnt as it fit but it just wasn't super flattering around the tummy so opted not to do that.

Probably not the best idea but I am giving myself a weekend pass for the wedding as its a special occassion. Still going to try to be sensible but giving myself a guilt free enjoy myself pass.

Hope you all have nice long weekends!

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 13:30

well done Moon that's great!! Enjoy. Well done others too!

I lied on weigh day, I didn't even weigh myself Grin that was Monday's results. However today I am 13st5lb so a loss of 2lb! Yessss

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 13:32

emilyjeff · 23/08/2019 14:33

Well done moonnoodles thats a great motivation when you move down a size! Have a great time at the wedding I def think you deserve a guilt free pass.
Well done tinsel aswell another 2lbs is great.
I have been super good yesterday and today. Friend at work even had domino's pizza for lunch and I turned it down!!!! Feeling good for it though.
We are away visiting friends this weekend...need to make sure I stay on the bandwagon! Planning on going to their local parkrun tomorrow morning so at least I will get some exercise in. Will be eating out sat night but other than that shouldn't be too bad as female friend has been healthy eating/losing weight recently too.
Have a fab bank holiday weekend y'all :)

recklessgran · 23/08/2019 23:18

Evening all, sorry I've been a bit AWOL lately. Eye off the ball and all that. We are off to the Lake district first thing in the morning for the weekend - well just Sat/Sun, so a flying visit. DD3 is here to look after DDog as we couldn't get him in to the kennels. All other DD's will be here on Monday for a BBQ so hoping the weather holds. We are staying in Ravenglass and looking forward to our steam train ride with breakfast and lunch included [A Christmas pressie from DD's last year!] This isn't going to be good for the weight loss though is it? @'MoonNoodles I hope you enjoy your weekend @Tinsel you are AWESOME that's a massive loss altogether you must be so proud of yourself. @emily I hope you enjoy your little break away. Will catch up with you all on Monday.

TinselAndKnickers · 23/08/2019 23:33

Sounds great reckless!! Enjoy.

I got this pop up today and it's madness to me - MONTHS of not losing one single thing then suddenly 16lb are off. Still got double that to go! But it's a start.

Welll done on the losses ladies 👍🏻
I'm still here. Just struggling to spin all the plates at the minute. I hope you're all well.

MoonNoodles · 26/08/2019 11:17

I am back and am definitely taking up more space on the wagon than before! Grin It was a fabulous weekend with so so much food and drinks and more food and more drinks. And some singing and dancing but mostly food and drinks and trains.

Oh and got a lot of compliments on my new dress. Was feeling really good in it too! So yay!

Not feeling guilty for all the food ever. Which is nice. Not expecting anything at wednesdays weigh in this week but going to keep going and trying.

Hope you are all having a lovely bank holiday weekend!

TinselAndKnickers · 26/08/2019 23:09

Today I treated myself to a dominos for dinner, and ordered a small and some sides. I could normally polish it all off but I've been eating it since 4pm on and off, still loads left!!! Probs gain on Wednesday but Grin yummy garlic dip!

MoonNoodles · 28/08/2019 07:42

Omg that sounds delicious @tinsel

Wednesday morning weigh in done. I am up 1 lb. I had lost one last week so I am basically back where I was 2 weeks ago weight wise. Trying to be nice to myself about it. I expected it wouldn't be a good weigh in. Is just hard. Went to the gym this morning and trying to remind myself that the most important thing is to keep moving forward. Its just a set back not a failure.

How are you all doing?

recklessgran · 28/08/2019 10:51

Morning all this Weigh Day Wednesday
Last week 13st 4lbs
Today 13 st 6 lbs
So it's a 2lb gain for me. Frustrated.
It's not as if I've overeaten either. I'm completely puzzled. Perhaps I ought to try intermittent fasting [I've been reading about it.] I'm off on holiday to Ibiza on Saturday so I'm just going to enjoy myself and then start again when I get back. I feel as though I'm in danger of ending up back where I started!
Really hoping for some happy losses for all of you today and hope you're enjoying the remains of the sunshine.

TinselAndKnickers · 28/08/2019 11:33

13st 5lb

Put on 2lb!!!! That will be the dominos Angry

Hi ladies, sorry been awol for a bit so busy here with one thing and another.
Weekend away was fab, did parkrun with my friend, very hot and hilly but did it all without walking so fairly pleased with that. Still probably eating too much, although its healthy stuff, weigh in today was still the same 10st 11. Need to step my game up! x

emilyjeff · 02/09/2019 12:23

Seems quiet on here lately...hope everyone is ok.
I had a busy weekend and a lot of food was eaten 'on the go' so hasn't been good at all.
I go on holiday two weeks today so I really need to have a good two weeks of healthy eating and exercise as I know I will definitely gain whilst away. Took soaked oats to work today so didnt have breakfast til about 10am then just had a tuna salad for lunch. So far so good lol x

MoonNoodles · 02/09/2019 15:05

@emilyjeff yeah it has been quiet.

I didnt eat amazingly at the weekend because I was busy. I have decided to do a salad september and have a salad for lunch every day monday-friday (we are away at the weekend and its a lot harder to do that) to try and get heathly. Went to the gym this morning. Feeling good about september so far.
