Morning. Up at 5.30 starting breakfast prep/baking for the birthday girl. Feel drained already & I've a lot of day left to get through. Scales up another .6 due to slow bowel, Tmi sorry, feel very bloated and sluggish. Thought I'd get a few steps whilst pottering around, few is right, 1450! Having a lie down & a cuppa now as not in work til 9, I've done my dues

I'm down a bit today for the first time in ages Grin

lifelongfrugaleer · 08/10/2020 12:44

Well done wreck.

Sorry to disappoint about the gossip.

Up today but calories have been increased abs and steps are woefully bad

Not2bObvious · 08/10/2020 13:34

Good for you wreck, that's encouraging. Lots and lots of pottering, cleaning/baking/bit of work/walk to shops & then a quick 20 minute walk. Just over 10,000 now. Have a nice dinner planned for the birthday, company over too. I'm not sure if I will drink or not but very I likely will - just not too much. I'm not a fan of buttercream iced cakes so I'm treating myself to an individual cake at 250 cals, looking forward to it.

WreckTangled · 08/10/2020 19:39

I've got a low carb ice cream I'm going to try tonight.

lifelongfrugaleer · 09/10/2020 06:45

Up today. Gosh I'm tired and really cba with a gym class. Not even a force myself. Think in getting cold.

WreckTangled · 09/10/2020 06:51

1.5lb down from yesterday. Not sure what's going on! I'm going out for hot chocolate and cake this morning with my friend so that'll ruin it all Grin

WreckTangled · 09/10/2020 06:57

Scrap that she just cancelled

lifelongfrugaleer · 09/10/2020 07:02

Great weight loss. Shame about the cancelled cake.

Not2bObvious · 09/10/2020 07:27

Down 1.2 from yesterday which puts me back to Tuesdays low, nice to see before the weekend - might keep me from going off the rails. Went about 80 cals over last night but all things considered that's decent. Bit of a headache this morning due to one more glass of wine than I budgeted and a lower tolerance following my cut back.
I downloaded the Tommy Bowe program happier, I'll watch it when I finish work, looks interesting

I only put my weight in the Fitbit app on Fridays for a good few weeks, I'm down 7 pound in 6 weeks looking at week on week.
This is around where I usually balls up. Or drop the ball. Or throw the ball in the bin, go the drive through, drink a gallon of wine and chase it down with a family bag of Doritos with a side slab of dairy milk

Ok cake is back on.

Not that's a great consistent loss.

Not2bObvious · 09/10/2020 09:54

Ooh yummy cake, enjoy every bite wreck, that's a super loss to wake up to. I just remembered another 100 cals of snacks I forgot to track for yesterday, no surprise how weight can creep on.
Thanks very much, I'm really pleased with the loss. I'm at that point where I can see it in my face? I don't look as puffy or moon faced. My weight, IMO, shows last on my face and that's when it gets to me. I can hide the gut to a degree. Ooh hang on maybe I've found a good thing about masks! Now to keep going beyond this point, I need to repeat the 6 weeks a few times and I might see my goal after best part of 10 years "trying"

Mrsmadevans · 09/10/2020 13:28

Omg Wreck you didn't did you! Not just any old hot chocolate l hope ! Was it a Terry's orange hot chocolate 😂😂😂

WreckTangled · 09/10/2020 13:36

No, it wasn't just any old orange hot chocolate, it was an M&S orange hot chocolate Wink also had a cheese scone rather than a cake as most of their cakes were covered in nuts 🤮

Mrsmadevans · 09/10/2020 13:46

Omg that sounds delicious 😋😋😋

Not2bObvious · 09/10/2020 14:01

Oooh I love cheese scones, or cakes with nuts to be fair. I've had a cream slice after my lunch roll - delicious

Mrsmadevans · 09/10/2020 14:12
