Well done @GimmeAy @LemonPeonies
More brilliant losses
God I admire anyone who can stop at one biscuit Confused

GimmeAy · 06/07/2020 15:57

I've no problem stopping at one biscuit, but ask me to stop at one Guinness and it's like taking a soother away from a baby.

Had a very long chat with two receptionists at my GP surgery about how they haven't received the consultant's letter telling them that I need magnesium supplements and they need something in 'writing'. I said well if you look at my blood results from 3 weeks ago, you'll see that my mg was 0.5, which is in writing. Then they waffled on so I suspect I'll have to ring at 8am in the morning to ask the GP to read my blood tests and/or consultant's letter and to put me on mg supplements. God forbid I didn't speak English or you'd just be left by the wayside.

PS - to everyone dieting, I'd recommend getting your bloods done out of sheer curiosity, to see if you're deficient in anything - particularly those of you who like me are struggling with energy.

GimmeAy · 06/07/2020 16:05

I'm aiming so low but achieving (for three days lol) my little target. 0.1 kilos. That's all I need to lose a day for 40 days. Then I'll be at my target weight. My main problem is lethargy though. I know that going out for a walk gives you more energy but just putting on those trainers seems like something insurmountable to me some days (today). I've taken to writing down things I've learned and one I've learned is that getting out the door is the hardest part of exercising. I prevaricate for days.... But I still have my eye on the goal of 0.1 kilos per day, so if I manage another day of it, I'll be astonished. And if the neverending period might end, that would be good too.

GimmeAy · 06/07/2020 16:08

My belly is still bloated today though Sad

isthatthesummerover · 06/07/2020 18:08

@GimmeAy you can have my Guiness and all other alcohol , I'll have your biscuits
I'm tea total , have never drank in my life , imagine how much fatter I'd be if I did as I gather they can have a high calorie count
Same with cheese ... doesn't bother me , but chocolate.... Confused

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 19:39

@isthatthesummerover like, never ever had alcohol?

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 19:54

@sevendevils never even tasted it - 2 alcoholic parents , 3 alcoholic grandparents one alcoholic husband and that was enough for me
Probably decided about 7 years of age that I'd never touch it
Few episodes in and out of care , 11 schools , 17 addresses ... unfortunately sweets and chocolate are my addiction
Oh and .... Come dine with me reruns

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 19:55

Sorry name changed to ask a question that I then chickened out asking
Isthatthesummerover here

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 19:59

@isthatthesummerover wow, I can see why you've never touched alcohol.

Curious now, what question did you chicken out of asking?

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:04

@sevendevils I'm crying here you cowbag 🤣🤣🤣
was going to ask AIBU to dump someone as his accent really gets on my nerves 😂😂😂😂😂😂

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 20:08

@isthatthesummerover no, you would not be unreasonable to dump. What accent are we talking 🤣

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 20:09

@isthatthesummerover but, you would probably be slaughtered in AIBU 😂😂

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:11

@sevendevils I know
That's why I chickened out and now you've outed me as the cow that I am anyway
😀

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 20:14

@isthatthesummerover I'm no where near brave enough for AIBU. I tend to stick to style and beauty and weight loss!

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:15

@sevendevils I can't say that or I could unintentionally insult one of our shortie friends here ... maybe even you 🤣🤣🤣
And without being too blatant I have a pretty annoying accent myself lol

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 20:21

@isitstillockdown I'm not easily offended but I can't speak for the rest of Mumsnet. Are you keeping this name now?

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:23

Yes I will
Don't really post anywhere else , just enjoy reading some of them

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 20:28

@isitstillockdown so as not to offend, I feel you should pm me the accent in question.

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:31

@sevendevils I already have Smile Don't fall out with me now lol

artyandtarty · 06/07/2020 20:44

OP we are of similar weight & height. I'm 5'2 & currently weighing in at 10 stone 11 pounds. I was 11 stone 4 pounds. I've cut down on my portion size & I've purchased an exercise bike that I'm currently hammering with HIIT cycling.

I used to be size 8/10 & I'm now a 12/14 which isn't huge but it's big for me due to my height.

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 20:46

Welcome @artyandtarty to the shortie crew

GinnieHempstock · 06/07/2020 21:00

Hi, can I join? I’m definitely short and fat enough. I’m 5’2” and weigh 12st3lbs.
I started the online WW on Saturday as I don’t like weighing/ tracking everything.
I’m also redoing C25K and trying to do 10,000 steps per day.
It’s going ok at the moment, but then it is only day 3 Grin

sevendevils · 06/07/2020 21:02

@GinnieHempstock I'm trying to do 10,000 steps per day too. I was really excited today to find out that bouncing on a mini trampoline clocks up steps on my Fitbit.

GinnieHempstock · 06/07/2020 21:12

@sevendevils I’m in the “wet myself when jump” camp, so am very impressed. I’ve still got 1,200 to go today, so have been doing some light jogging on the spot.

isitstillockdown · 06/07/2020 21:18

More the merrier @GinnieHempstock
Squeeze !!!!!
I squeeze and clench when I'm brushing my teeth Smile
