Smaller jeans for Xmas party no comfier and nI weight loss this week so will buy my normal size today so I can be comfy

Not2bObvious · 29/11/2019 10:25

Comfy is best, better to have the jeans fit than too tight. I’m lying around for a bit before my hair appointment, trying to think how I’ll get my steps in with a full curvy blow dry! Doubt I’ll be on the treadmill somehpw

not I needed that encouragement to do it! I felt like I was cheating but I know it's only bloat from weekend. Must say to his mother in the kindest way possible I don't want sausages at the weekend, I'll cook eggs myself, if they're there in front of me I'll eat them of course, to avoid being rude and wasting food!

Now I'm down 0.1lbs compared to being +2!

Smaller jeans will be there for next year for you not

Happierwithouthim · 29/11/2019 12:20

Not2bObvious · 29/11/2019 14:06

Grin Iol

Over by toast and jam. Twas lovely but for the calories I could have had ice cream.
Fbw and 18k steps in though

Not2bObvious · 30/11/2019 07:59

I reckon the 18k steps earned you the toast & jam life
Stonking headache but no surprise - bigger surprise to be down .2, still hanging onto my half pound loss. Out again tonight😩

Sts this morning. Yesterday was a carb day though

Happierwithouthim · 30/11/2019 09:08

Sts again today probably won't be weighing tomo so -0.1lbs

Wolf with the jeans sorry not

Got takeaway last night but got two starters instead of mains to reduce the carb load - was an all round carby day french toast for breakfast, ham & cheese toastie and an orange for lunch & chicken satay skewers & spice bag from Lana for dinner.

Have a lovely Saturday guys, I'm spending the day at home, cleaning tidying & sorting & will walk the dog later for a long walk

Happierwithouthim · 30/11/2019 09:12

I'd to size down to 10 petite #vanitysizing but who cares Grin

Delighted with it, I’ve already got black strappy sandals & I got blingy costume jewellery for wedding a couple of weeks ago & there’s some purple in my pandora bracelet so I’m pretty sorted

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 30/11/2019 10:19

That is lovely happier, purple is my favourite colour! You're figure is amazing too!
Sts yesterday, steps were 13658
Food wise was ok, cereal for breakfast, coffee. Leftover pizza for lunch, some yogurt, an orange and an apple, coconut oreos, water.
When I picked up dd2 she wanted McDonald's for her Friday treat, so she got fries and a mcflurry. I did a bit of shopping before I collected her so we sat down to eat so I had fries and a coke. Then for dinner I had some toasted thick bread with hummus, em a very carby day.

Weight today has sts.

Hope you all have a great Saturday.

lifelongfrugaleer · 30/11/2019 10:35

Gorgeous happier

Happierwithouthim · 30/11/2019 18:30

My favourite colour too curvy & I very rarely wear it, thanks for the compliments 💕

I've only eaten brunch yet today of poached eggs bacon medallions avocado & chutney on a slimbo must go feed myself now

lifelongfrugaleer · 30/11/2019 19:32

Been shit food wise today. Got takeout with the kids and didn't enjoy it. No more. And no more Aldi choc as shopping when hungry.

Not2bObvious · 30/11/2019 20:08

Out for pizza and a gig, 2 nights on the trot, ouf!

My curvy/curly blow dry is lasting me well though! Big hair makes my face look slimmer - should get it done more often

OP posts:
CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 30/11/2019 21:47

Same here happier, I don't wear it a lot either, don't know why, will have to though.
life, it's so disappointing when take out is rubbish!
not, glad your hair is lasting well.

Food today has been a bit hit and miss, but I'm not really worried, it is what it is. I did manage to get in 10236 steps, just being at home, tidying, sorting and having a dance with the kids.

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/12/2019 07:51

Up today but not really surprised. Today will be better

Not2bObvious · 01/12/2019 08:12

Up a bit so my loss is .3 for the week. Now the main splurge is behind me and I can focus on the next 3 weeks to get the job done. 5lb to my target, thinking it’s a bit ambitious but you gotta aim high. Scrapped through with my 10,000 steps last night, in to the city centre with my teenager, wish me luck

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 01/12/2019 08:21

I got 10k steps yesterday. Weekly average is -1.94.
Eating tracked food this morning then going to walk to body pump.

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 01/12/2019 09:29

Morning all.
My weight stayed the same at 12s1lb, so I've lost 2lbs this week, but I don't know if that will stay the same or go up over the week, so shall see.

I would love to get into the next store bracket!

Good luck not!

lifelongfrugaleer · 01/12/2019 10:37

Well done curvy

Walking back from the gym like Bambi. It's a bit icey
