0.8 down everyone! Finally moving a bit. Still no period Hmm definitely not pregnant, still bloated.

Not2bObvious · 21/07/2020 08:47

That’s brilliant wreck, boo on the late period but at least you’re sure you’re not up’duffed! The thoughts of it puts a chill in my soul, roll on menopause

No offence to anyone who wants a baby of course, but I don’t think that’s any of us right now?

Wreck, yay for that. Please tell us how many comments you get today, as you will be naked Wink.

Not, I think you're safe, I know I never want anymore and I think all of us are done having babies too. I did chuckle at up duffed though, haven't heard that in years!

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 21/07/2020 09:14

I've maintained this week and considering the week I had last week, I'm pleased with that.
Hope you all have a good Tuesday.

Not2bObvious · 21/07/2020 09:24

Well done on the maintain curvy, great attitude, it’s an awful bloody slog sometimes but we’ll get there & it will be worth it.

Ahh, it is Not, and you're right we will get there!
We have to remember it's a marathon not a sprint!

lifelongfrugaleer · 21/07/2020 09:51

God no risk or want of up duffed here. Which my auto correct changed to suffer. Grin

Bit more off this morning but still not back to my lowest. Walk today with friends

lifelongfrugaleer · 21/07/2020 18:26

Off track carb and biscuits fest here. Bad planning

WreckTangled · 21/07/2020 18:30

I really wanted another dc but we just couldn't (and still can't) afford it so we didn't have one and now with my youngest being 7.5 I think it would be a disaster!

Curvy you sound much more positive this week. I didn't go with nakedness but did wear a dress. Still no sign Confused I'll give it two weeks before I'm too bothered, I just don't want to be caught by surprise so wish it would hurry up!

I'm on 1043. I might hit the 1200 if I crave chocolate later. Today:

Halloumi salad

Low carb wrap with pesto, rocket, sun dried tomatoes, feta, roasted cauliflower and Linda McCartney sausages
Greek yoghurt with strawberries and cinnamon.

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 21/07/2020 19:41

Wreck, its annoying when you know its totm and the one day you pop out without any sanitary protection, is the day it will come!
And thank you. I had a nice zoom catch up with my cousins family so that was sad but nice at the same time.
Also I spoke to my uncle and initially they did think it was spine cancer, but he had more tests, it is still cancer, but blood cancer which can be treated with medication, so he is in a much better state of mind and the future looks good.

13886 steps today.
Food has been good.
B - cereal and coffee
L - salad with 'feta'
D - avocado on toast. Now I never use to like avocado but wanted to give it another go and I was pleasantly surprised. I just mashed it with salt, pepper and some balsamic vinegar. It was ok, so will try something different with the other half tomorrow.

ememem84 · 21/07/2020 20:25

wreck fingers crossed for period soon.

ememem84 · 21/07/2020 21:37

12356 steps done today. Day 2 of 12k steps.

Tomorrow should be easier as am going to get up and go for a run.

WreckTangled · 22/07/2020 06:25

0.2 up ffs what have I got to do to lose some weight??

Not2bObvious · 22/07/2020 10:10

Morning all from away (from home not country, I wish!) Just finished a large breakfast, yummy. No scales, no scares! Delicious dinner last night too. Only away for one more day, bloody raining today which is disappointing but most activities our indoor. Had to cancel the picnic lunch idea. Bit of a headache after pre-dinner/dinner/post-dinner wine. Deserved that tbf!

Enjoy your time away Not.

Not2bObvious · 22/07/2020 15:05

Have eaten my whole days food and still dinner/drinks to be had. No wonder I never lost weight last year, had too many holidays for it to be a possibility. I’m working on enjoying but not being a glutton, I’d say it’s not 100% successful😂

ememem84 · 22/07/2020 19:04

Anything wreck?

WreckTangled · 22/07/2020 19:19

Nope Hmm I'm going to guess tomorrow because I'm even more bloated today

lifelongfrugaleer · 22/07/2020 19:48

Oh good grief wreck.

Got steps again today and managed to keep food on track, just

ememem84 · 22/07/2020 20:16

Oh jeeeez wreck fingers crossed!!

CurvyInAllTheWrongPlaces · 22/07/2020 21:04

Wreck, how bloody annoying, hope you start tomorrow!

WreckTangled · 22/07/2020 21:19

Thanks for all cheering on my period Grin hopefully it'll take notice!

WreckTangled · 23/07/2020 07:05

1lb down still not down to what I was in May but it's a start 🙄 I'm starving this morning.

Not2bObvious · 23/07/2020 07:40

That’s good wreck, it’s coming off even if it is slow. I’d give up looking back at weights, that would drive you mad. If you hadn’t taken it in hand you could have been 7 pound up since May so you’re winning. I’m stones heavier than you as I recall and it take months for me to lose anything, of course I’m also a greedy lump which might be the issue too. Something protein heavy might be good for breakfast, get rid of the hunger?
Ok technically I should really have only over shot my maintenance calories for the last 2 days to around 1000 in total. So like .3-.5 of a pound? If I was 161.2 on Tuesday morning, I wonder how much the scale of doom will report tomorrow. I am planning a return to 1668 today as should be home around lunchtime. I’m going to guess 164.8, just to make me desolate. I did nearly 34,000 steps over 2 days, went swimming and did actually swim. But I bet it’ll have no impact. Going to relax now to breakfast as it going to lash rain and I’ve a pain in my face/feet from walking
