Fuck, I've literally ate my way through the last four weeks.

I was already a couple of stone overweight and now I've done loads more damage. All I do is eat and then eat some more.

I'm going to sort my shit out starting tomorrow, anyone else want to join me?

Welcome to PTCEDYFB newcomers.

I'm over the stress of the spreadsheet now but yet to tackle the diarrhoea splattered dyson which is currently hiding in the shed.

Had egg salad for a late lunch.

Off to walk the dog now @feelingnervousnow who is in fact a girl 🐕

Considering I've not left the house today it's been very stressful so far.

@AutumnNymph your fabulous spreadsheet is filling nicely.

Please can we all stick to it and actually get to fill in next Thursday.

Just walked mine and he found a massive, fresh fox poo. So out came the hose and dog shampoo. Again Hmm. That sort of thing would send me to the KitKat cupboard pre PTCEDYFB. Not today, Satan. Not today.

AutumnNymph · 16/04/2020 15:27

I will repost the link every Wednesday as a reminder.

Hi I would like to join!! I’m eating well through the day but then binging in the evenings so badly!

So I am awaiting new batteries for my scales these have been dispatched.

My weight last week was 93kgs.

Shimy · 16/04/2020 15:37

Oh yes I thought I’d emerge slim, lithe a and toned but noooooo! Been scoffing non stop and today is my birthday so I’m scoffing some more. I already bought strawberries this morning to go with the cream at home as a birthday treat for the dc Hmm.

menthollyinsane · 16/04/2020 15:39

Happy birthday @Shimy. Start tomorrow Wine Cake

Fluffle55 · 16/04/2020 16:04

@feelingnervousnow
Ahhh!!! Thanks.

OwlinaTree · 16/04/2020 16:25

Can I join in? I've only really got a few lb to lose, I do SW but that's all off and I really need to stay on track and at least stay the same.

diege · 16/04/2020 16:44

Happy birthday shimy! Yes, start tomorrow!
Ignored the discounted eggs in the supermarket and bought some Galaxy Light hot chocolate instead 😩 NOT the same!
So glad I joined this thread - so good to have other like-minded scoffers to chat with!

Maverick66 · 16/04/2020 17:00

I've gained 7lb in four weeks ..it's really affecting my fitness and my mental health. I am already overweight and this is just adding to the anxiety and despair I already feel.

HouseTornado · 16/04/2020 17:26

Happy birthday Shimy!

I'm through the witching hours...waiting for dinner, then day 1 done!

Bed at 7pm?

Alicatz66 · 16/04/2020 17:37

Can I join please ? I'm not really overweight but I've slowly gained a stone over the last year and my clothes are killing me ... I can't afford a whole new lot ... I also had a hysterectomy 6 weeks ago and have been resting up a lot as well as pigging out in lockdown .... I'm now back to doing my 10k steps a day but need to get the weight off... daughter working from home and loves cooking which isn't helping either !!! I'm starting Monday !!!! I've got the Nutrachec app and I'm planning on counting calories maybe coupled with intermittent fasting which I've never done .... any advice ?

TheHumansAreDefinitelyDead · 16/04/2020 17:47

I love cooking and have gone into overdrive (work hours scaled back Sad)

Made a veg lasagna, mushroom soup, focaccia and lemon cheesecake today

Someone stop me

Like a proper junkie I know where to get flour and eggs Hmm

It’s like some kind of stress response?

DH and Teen boys are not going to stop me as it suits them

And my scales are broken

GenuineKlatchianPottery · 16/04/2020 17:52

Please can I join? I’ve no longer got a waist, it’s more like an equatorBlush.
I’d piled on weight in the last 2 years, managed to lose a couple of stones and then lock down happened alongside me being ill (suspected corona). That combined with my new antidepressants has kick started my appetite and I’ve put back the weight plus an extra 2 stones. I’m now 15 stone and 5’7”.

ListenLinda · 16/04/2020 17:56

Right I am on the spreadsheet! Let’s do this 😁

sociallydistained · 16/04/2020 17:58

I can relate as I gained half a stone since all this started and I am not surprised at all as I went right back into comfort eating and was out of control until a few days ago.

I also live alone so I have no junk in now (initially went out And bought loads of chocolate and anything I fancied as comfort!) I'm now making it a mission to plan meals, calorie count through MFP and exercise

Fedupandpoor · 16/04/2020 17:59

Added myself, good luck everyone!

Hileni · 16/04/2020 18:00

Many happy returns @Shimy! Cake

Oh god @menthollyinsane I've experienced DDog with the same a few years back. Luckily we had just upgraded our hoover and were planning on taking the old one to the tip the next day - the hose was ripped so you had to hold it in a funny position to suck anything up. Worked a treat for DDog clear up and then didn't have to disinfect anything.

PTCEDYFB is the best name ever Grin

feelingnervousnow · 16/04/2020 18:15

@ListenLinda every time I see your username it makes me laugh, don’t know why it just gets me Grin

AutumnNymph · 16/04/2020 18:18

The spreadsheet renamed to The PTCEDYFB Diet Club Grin

AutumnNymph · 16/04/2020 18:21

Day one of furlough for me and in normal circumstances I would just be eating out of boredom. Instead, I am focussing on a spreadsheet and losing weight. Grin It must have been karma that sent you my way @menthollyinsane.

I am aware that makes me sound dead boring, in normal times I am more fun. I promise

AutumnNymph · 16/04/2020 18:23

Uggh formatting gone wrong
