Hi all, made a new thread as the last one filled up so quickly and I'm still bloody massive!Grin

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.

I've not been behaving myself at all.I'm in danger of gaining all that I've lost if I don't pack in the carbs. Mmm. I'm making a fresh start tomorrow. My excuse for today is that we're going to a party and there will be nice food and booze.Hope everyone is being better than I and enjoying the sunshine.

YouBoggleMyMind · 30/06/2019 21:32

Have had a heavy weekend and nervous as shit to start my job tomorrow 😫

recklessgran · 30/06/2019 23:45

Good luck tomorrow @YouBoggle I'm sure you'll smash it. Also will be thinking of you @MoonNoodles - I'm sure your consultant will be thrilled to bits with your achievement. 15kgs is no mean feat - it's taken me 6 months to lose less than 6kgs!

TinselAndKnickers · 01/07/2019 10:54

I've also been a bit of a fatty. Not too bad but not great. So stressed about jobs! Good luck Boggle I'm sure you will absolutely smash it!

Hi ladies, hope everyone is well.
We had a good weekend, wedding was lovely although very hot! Food was buffet with plenty of salad so wasnt too unhealthy. Went to the gym and horse riding yesterday too
Hope you got on ok at the specialist today moonnoodles and I hope his scales showed the same loss as yours! 15kg is really impressive.
Anyway better get on with some work I guess! x

Yay that is good new @TinselAndKnickers! Congrats!

I hope your first week is going well @YouBoggleMyMind I am sure you will do brilliantly. Ooh how was the movie?

I saw the specialist yesterday. And his scale did show the loss and he was very impressed with my progress! He said a lot of patients dont do as well and was pleased. I go back to see him in november. So yeah it went pretty well!

emilyjeff · 02/07/2019 18:57

Well done on the job tinsel great news!
Glad specialist went well moonnoodles
And hope.youre enjoying the new job boggle
I can't stop.eating today!!! Been truly awful and now I'm cooking a fry up for dinner!!
Off on holiday tomorrow, just Norfolk in our caravan for a week but looking forward to the break. Hoping to do lots of walking to balance out the treats I'll no doubt be eating. Will.weigh tomorrow AM before I go.anyway x

YouBoggleMyMind · 02/07/2019 21:57

Job has been going ok, a big change and a lot to get used to. Makes me quite anxious really. DS hasn't been well either so that not helped.

emilyjeff · 03/07/2019 09:26

10 stone 12 again today so same as last week, not too disappointed with that x

YouBoggleMyMind · 03/07/2019 09:38

12st 6.8 so put on a lb. sigh. I am on my period though so perhaps that's something to do with it too!

recklessgran · 03/07/2019 10:32

Morning all this weigh day Wednesday
Last week 13st 6.5lbs
Today 13st 7.25lbs
So that's another gain for me of .75lbs.
Not really surprised but I haven't been THAT bad. Gotta get my act together. I'm going in the wrong direction and 5lbs heavier now than I was at my lightest on this thread. Time for the naughty step!

YouBoggleMyMind · 03/07/2019 17:33

Ill join you Reckless. I can't get my act together!

TinselAndKnickers · 03/07/2019 20:08

Once again I'm in the "need to get my act together" camp. I have a good few days then come crashing down. My problem is I binge! One biscuit two biscuit three suddenly the whole packets gone and I'm on a rampage Blush

Don't worry @Tinsel, you're in good company @YouBoggle and I will shift up and you can join us on the naughty step. I've had sausages and roast veg for dinner plus a banana. Not too calorific I hope.
My thyroid test has come back and my levels are now just inside the normal range. I've asked for a call back as I'd like the dose increased but my record has been marked with "no action needed".I'm expecting a fight - I still have symptoms although I do feel better than I did.I can't see the point of leaving me languishing in the lower end of normal.

MoonNoodles · 04/07/2019 15:34

I've gone down 1.5lbs since last Wednesday but that is up 0.5lbs from Mondays weigh in before the doctors. I am hoping its because I am drinking a ton of water and not the giant piece of cake I ate on Monday night. :(

@recklessgran Any space on the naughty step for one more? I told myself I was going to get up and go for a swim before work today and have a salad for lunch. I turned off the alarm and went back to sleep and all I have eaten today is carbs. delicious delicious carbs.

@YouBoggleMyMind it probably is the period. They are the worst.

TinselAndKnickers · 07/07/2019 14:19

Quick check in - boozy weekend and still fat however these next few weeks I'm on full lock down as the wedding (not mine!) is on the 20th of July and I'd like to look less bloated Smile

Hope everyone is having a fab weekend. My wedding outfit is a 14 not a 16 as the 16 was too big!!! 🎉🎉🎉 so a little improvement and a bit of motivation. Might post pics if I feel brave enough! Grin

Just a quick check in, hope everyone is well.
We're having a lovely time away, weather's been good, lots of nice walks, been to the beach, had fish and chips, and ice cream, and cake! Brought my running kit with us but not ran once yet! But refuse to think about diet/ weight whilst on holiday x

recklessgran · 08/07/2019 09:55

Sorry I've been MIA. Very busy due to DD3 moving to lovely new apartment and DH having to be the king of flatpack! Starting yet AGAIN today with a vengeance. I've had enough of this pound up pound down thing! I am away on holiday to Ibiza in 7 weeks time so I'm using this as my new focus. Would like at least half a stone off by then. [Hahaha!] I've been doing a lot of reading up on underactive thyroid and it seems that the ONLY way to lose in these circumstances is no white carbs/sugar. Well, I'm going to TRY to do this 5;2 if you see what I mean as I know it's unrealistic and virtually impossible for me, the carb addict to give up bread forever. So, 2 days a week I'm going to allow myself bread or potato or chips. Watermelon is going to have to be my go to snack. How is everyone else? Especially wondering if you're O.K. @MrsMummy?

YouBoggleMyMind · 08/07/2019 19:12

Hi from me too! 3rd day in my new job. Teething problems but I had a better afternoon. Heavy weekend with Birthday celebrations for my DM so who knows what I'll weigh now!!

Seems like we've all been up and down! Getting back into the swing of 16:8 but have reworked it to 15:9 because I love snacking in the eveningsGrin had a good day today and tracked it all - let's hope I keep it up.

My main goal for July is to drink more water and get back into the habit of tracking and fasting! And a bonus would be dropping from a 14/16 to a solid 14!Grin
