ANYONE WANT TO JOIN ME IN LOSING A STONE IN 6 WEEKS STARTING 1ST OCTOBER?

[katybump]

hiya i really want to lose a stone,i have more than that to lose but figured if i started with that it would be easier.i'm going to do a healthy eating/daily walking type thing and hopefully it will work ! anyone want to join me

Hi all

Today I was really good and ate my WW lunch instead of the hot pizza buffet we had on the training day yeah!

On the bad side I have had a letter from Tax Credits saying I owe them £4,500 and they want £50 a month from me. Cue me crying, then yelling at some stupid twunt on the phone for 45 mins before them saying either I pay up or they take me to court. Motherf**kers. Hence I am having a glass of wine.

Have to tell you about mine and dp's conversation tonight.

DP 'Do you want another dollop of risotto?'

Me 'No thanks DP, remember, nothing tastes as good as thin feels.'

DP 'Who's Lynn Fields?'

markstretch i am so for you.the tax credits have a real habit of doing that to people. bastards .i'm really liking your conversation with dp though pmsl x

PMSL at Lynn Fields! But Grrr at the Tax Credits. We werent going to claim them but I decided to in the end and put in my claim at the end of July....still waiting. DH claimed them for his son before he met me and ended up having to pay back nearly £1,000 - except they took it back in only two installments which nearly crippled him! Seems a bit of a balls up system to me

Well done everyone on their menus today - highly virtuous

Brekkie: Museli/s.s milk
11'ses: None
Lunch: Homemade Carrot & lentil Soup with cheese on toasted bun & veggie 'platter'
PM T: Necafe Decaf cappuccino & 2 squares of dark chocolate
Dinner: Shared a pitta bread stuffed with mashed avocado and cheese with Babyshoes at 5pm
Adult Dinner: None as now not hungry after my hugely filling half pitta! 1st time i've tried splitting our dinner times and dont think i'll bother again
Drinks: Water & squash
Exercise: Yum Mums - hour of squats, crunches, boxing & pilates type stuff.
1/2 hour Supermarket shop and 1 mile power walk. Phew

spottyshoes you are eating so well at the moment,well done i'm really proud of you!

Thanks KB - You too! I've always eaten well, it was just the caramel custard donuts and chocolate cake and endless bags of crisps that used to let the side down!!!!

Where has everyone gone do you think? I thought there was a good 15-20 peeps last week but it seems like we are down to 5 or 6 now! Off exercising do you think?

given up maybe.it's a shame as it was a really lively thread but i do love the people left,you all make me laugh.just think though,in 6 weeks we will have lost a stone and the people who have left might not .so stick around as it's going to get easier xx

hello all been out shopping today without dd ie proper shopping! have bought some jeans that look okish now and will look better when (not if) i have lost some weight....and some great brown boots £18 (!), I LOVE tkmaxx

Brekkie ..missed it unfortunately

11ish tuna salad bap and cappuccino

2ish a maple and pecan danish (enormous!) and cappuccino

eve homemade veggie pasty with lots af veg and a few wedges. susiecuties stewed fruit

where are you susiecutie?

well done katyb packing is obviously good for the diet! mind you i don't know how you can shop on a diet coke!!! Glad your dd is on the mend

laloup and mrsss and spottyshoes you look like you are doing well " go bumpers , go bumpers, ra, ra, ra." and a shake of my new rainbow pompoms

Markstretch You really have my sympathy over the tax credits, i don't know anyone who hasn't had theirs screwed up.....they don't seem to appreciate that they are messing about nwith real money and real lives...anyway don't let the b*st*ds make you fat! at hubby....

tkmaxx rocks{grin]

just had a noisy through the thread and there are 31 people who joined and then vanished that i can see

great menu by the way pollywollydoodle,danish,what danish?

katyb, it was so big i could have used it as a duvet! I won't look better in those jeans like that will I?

anyway mylittlefreya sorry i missed your post out....you and i should indulge in a bit of mutual arse kicking...it worked for katyb and laloup!

LLLLLLLLLLLL ( those are kicks!)

i need new duvets for my new house.you could have posted it my way pollywollydoooodle

consider your arse well and truely kicked!!

am i allowed to swear now as it's after 9 pm

Hulloooooo PollyWD my fellow cappuccino lover! LOL @ dont let the bastards make you fat! That will be my mantra from now on hee hee (oooh wash my mouth out! sorry - i meant to say bstds)
Mmmmm at the maple and pecan danish Sounds like you had a great time shopping, got a few good bargains and think of the calories you burned whilst doing it - like your style

Having already used 2 yesterday.... to SusieCutie - any more tasty recepies to share to get us through the rest of the week?

Not sure if i'll manage the whole stone KB/AKA Mentor but at the moment i'll settle for a half! I really feel i'm putting the effort in but if i dont start losing a few pounds in the next couple of weeks i'm going to have to start blaming it on the breastfeeding! I'm cutting down and exercising, dont know what else to do????

unfortunately i don't use many calories shopping (apart from trying things on and deliberating-all that chin stroking!) I zip around on one of those mobility scooters....one end of merry hell to the other in about a minute ....remembering how long it took to walk, it's one of the few times i appreciate needing a scooter

Is it too late for me to join, i am 5ft 6, 11.5 stone and want to be back in my sz 12's comfortably

bet you lose a load all at once spottyshoes,don't give up.the stone is just a rough guide so anything is a bonus xx

buktus welcome to the party

do you do the same as me pollywollydoooodle,i pick something up,wander round with it for ages,get to the till then decide i won't wear it and put it back lol .i save myself a fortune

Why did they invent nescafe cappuchino they are my biggest downfall, when lo is asleep i aim to go on my running machine that is along with trying to box the house up for our move

with you ie the packing buktus.when do you move?

2 weeks today

PWD (hope people dont mind if I abbreviate - feeling v lazy!) Dont underestimate the calorific value of chin stroking and trying things on! I often think that planning on leaving the house burns me more calories that actually doing it! but I am a bit of a procrastinator (sp)

Y'see - that is why you're our mentor KB - always looking for the positive

Hi Buktus! Welcome do you feel like naming and shaming the food you've had today or are you starting from now? Good luck. x

i move a week tomorrowbut get the keys on friday.i managed to freecycle a load of stuff over the weekend but still can't believe the amount of crap useful items we have lol.
are you moving far from where you are now?god i'm nosey

Only 76 cals to buktus and very worth it! can have a few in that case - just dont have them with biscuits!

spottyshoes i have always been a moaner!not by choice it just seems that good things happen to other people.one day i decided i'd had enough of being a grumpy cow and vowed to always try and be positive about things.it hard when life throws crap at you but i've got 3 gorgeous kids and i know alot of people would give anything for that.

thanks for making me feel all warm and fuzzy knowing it's rubbing off on people xx

it's only been about a month of positive thinking but i wake up smiling now xx

my last post made me sound like i swing my norks at dawn whilst chanting positive weight loss mantras to the rising sun

i only do that on bankholidays pmsl

pmsl at swinging norks

What a bloody fantastic attitude! I need to adopt your philosophy! I really doooooo try and start the week like it but it seems to become tantrums and hair pulling after a while! But you're right, compared to others we have fantastic lives and healthy kids and that should be all that counts!

Not only are you a losing weight mentor....you're also a life guru!!!
