Katybumpers - Lose a stone in 6 weeks!

[MrsSeanSlater]

Welcome to the new thread!

It's horrible, isn't it, susiec... I wonder if this could be all down to teeth here, too. And I'm not sure I could lose at all if I was in pain and not able to get about - I really couldn't.

We are up and have tolerated a syringe of calpol, so hopefully back to bed in a min... and I have NOT nibbled (this can be a bad time). Yay!

i am so sick of dishing up calpol in my house so am right there with you girls.
well done to everyone who has lost weight in the last few weeks.
had a tiny bit of time to read your posts
spottyshoes...8lb is amazing well done

i will be around all day for general support and arse kicking(weekend being a bad time) so holler if you need me xx

shake those pom poms katybumpers ,it's nearly party time xx

I hate calpol, its vile stuff and I think a wee bit addictive!!! I have to fight with dh to stop him dishing it out at every opportunity! SS even asks for it if he sneezes! Loves the stuff! Babyshoes coughed the other day and dh was hunting for it! I think i'm going to have to watch him

I'm thinking about dinner already, dont know whether to try making a creamy butternut squash dish to use up the last of it or steak on a bed of creamy butter beans and leeks. Seeing as i'm dieting I better go and see what would have the least cals

It's the end of our initial 6 weeks on Monday! It seems much longer! Am so glad it's been extended

I have the same problem with DP and the teething gel. It got to the point that dd wouldn't take her dummy if it didn't have any on

I re-weighed, since it's a week since I got back from holiday , and minus 3lb this week!!so lost 5 in the first 4 weeks, gained 4 in week 5 , lost 3. I'm glad we're carrying on too!!!

great on the 3lb weight loss mylittle freya.i am sooo pleased we are carrying on.i have lost cms of my hips and legs but can't seem to shift my flabby belly.anyone got any ideas?

Hi all, just pasisn g through briefly. Has a good day yesterday:

Brek: 2 slices hwolemeal toast w/ marg & marmite, cup of tea w/ simmed milk
Snack: banana, coffee, water
Lunch: Spanish omelette, salad, nectarine, water
Dinner: Salmon, new potatoes & broccoli; fat free vanilla yog, Evening: Cup of tea

Weird day today. Feel a bit sick.
Brek - Didn't have breakfast - just a cuppa and then a skinny latte while out shopping.

Lunch - picked at a child's birthday party - 1 slice of bread, 3 cream crackers, olives, tablespoon of coleslaw and of tzaiki, cucumber, cherry tomatoes, 1 slice birthday cake, 2 glasses white wine (bleurgh...hate picky party foods)

Gonna have a takeaway for dinner I'm afraid - need something spicy and yummy!

Brekkie: Optivia with berries
11'ses: no sugar banana cake
Lunch: Mackerel Salad
PM T: Cappuccino
Dinner: Steak on bed of creamy leeks, onions & new potatoes.

Made with a glass of white wine so had another to drink for good measure.

Now my baby is poorly again - can you catch stuff through computers? We all seem to be synchronising!!!

evening all!
busy and munchy day here despite my efforts to limit eating

sorry to all those with poorly babies/selves....i believe that this is how it goes until the end of feb (polly ducks to avoid missiles thrown in rage and frustration)....then there is a brief respite before the "summer cold" rounds start up....

anyway
brekkie...muesli (mmm, respectable)

church bazaar...half a scone and jam, half a slice of fruit cake (could have been a lot worse)

lunch..spicy mackeral on dry toast and cappuccino(ok)

evening at bonfire party...burger and salad on a bun, 2 samosas, handful of hula hoops, 2 little choc cornflake cakes, piece of fruit cake....( no alcohol/cinder toffee/parkin/dips etc etc.......can i have some points for that please....pretty please...)

Oh yes i'll give you some points that was a very good menu considering your temptations - I would have had at least 2 scones with cream! but you can have my helping of cinder toffee as I dont like it

Mind you i'll also throw a couple of missiles at you too... thats mths away grrr

Brekkie: Fruit & yoghurt
Lunch out: BBQ chicken with JAcket Pot and salad
Dinner: steak in red wine & herb sauce, & veg
Extra glass of red wine.

Hope you're all being good

brekkie...1 crumpet with marmite

lunch...mackeral and salad sarnie with pickled cabbage and pickled onions(had to swear to my mum that i am not pregnant..)

mids...cappuccino and small slice of fruit cake

evening...small amount of pasta with veggie sauce and half a pitta. pear

now... mocha chocca doodah

as of tomorrow we are changing to medium sliced bread...thats my next long term change..

I'm too embarrased to tell you what i have eaten today. needless to say, there will be no weight loss from me this week. I blame DH, he's not been home htis weekend, so I've been really miserable... and reached for the norty foods...

Girls, I really need some serious motivation here... please help me ?

Oh, and DD is poorly today. coughing so much she keeps being sick.

sorry for eing such a misery, but i do feel it really... plus still having such probs with my back... not long until i go to the pain clinic though, i"m hoping for a miracle though I think!

Oh susie, it sounds really tough. I'm so sorry - I would be struggling too with what you are going through.

Sometimes I think that though comfort eating isn't the best way of coping, at least you are coping. It is much less destructive than some things you could be doing.

Sorry, I'm not helping much, am I, in terms of getting you going. But I guess I wonder if you need a bit of comforting at the moment. Your poor dd. Mine is doing teeth and it is very grim lately, I can only sympathise.

Morning all.

susie - hope your little one is a bit better today?

I ate atrociouslu yesterday, but think 'Sunday as day of rest' is a good dieting motto, actually! I had a McDonald's breakfast, party foods at a 6th Birthday (pizza slice, chco cornflake cake, hula hoops, birthday cake), and then spag bol and salad (although managed to avoid bread...made up for it with 4 glasses of wine!)

Back on the healthy tip today, though!

Only 5 weeks until Xmas - got to lose some so I can put some on, iyswim!

morning all

stayed the same this week.
jeans are more comfortable though with less muffin top....i think that is prob more stomach excercises than weight loss tho'

hi susiec..... have a big cuddle!

i have to say i really like the people i've met on this thread but i feel a fraud not going for weight loss hammer and tongs...so i'm caught between wanting to stay and feeling i should be on a lose a stone by next summer thread is that part of the problem for you? until the pain is under better control and you are more mobile why don't you go for holding your weight steady....as someone pointed out to me, thats a good acheivement when your energy use has gone down as you still have to cut back (if that makes any sense)....do you just need to take the pressure off yourself for a bit?

BTW tell that nice mum and husband of yours to stop buying calorie-sodden (sodding?) goodies and if they must have them in the house put them high up where you can't reach them....or at least you'll have to decide if the agony of reaching them is worth it.....ask for some particularly luscious fruit instead?

Loveangelgab....go girl

Ra!Ra!Ra! to anyone who wants one this am...

afternoon ladies

susiecutie you poor thing.wish there was something i could do to help xx

still with you all on the poorly baby club.we had an overnight stay in hospital on saturday night due to a vv high temp but home now and on the mend
on the weight loss front i have stayed the same this week so have decided to give slimfast a go.my thinking is that the thinking is done for me.as i don't have time to think of me due to poorly dd and dh and his broken arm at least i am having something and can supplement it with fruit.going to try it for a week so i'll let you know of any side effects.

5 weeeks til christmas

CAN WE DO IT.......YES WE CAN[to the tune of bob the builder]

Thanks All

I'm not quite so down today... only 4 sleeps til I get to be with my handsome man again.

I have almost finished all the bad things now... adn have made the moroccan casserole/ tagine. So will be both having that tonight.

I'm just so fed up with being the size I am thats all. I'm not huge, i've been bigger in the distant past, but I swore i'd not let myself become properly over weight again since then, and i managed to stay a very stable 10-12 ( bottom half ) for about 4 years, and i have to say, it helps my pain if i'm thinner... so I have to for many reasons really.

Maybe i'll try slimfast too. I mean, i'm just not eating alot, and not regularly, so it cant hurt! also, its a focus for me. I want to at least have lost a stone by Isobels 1st birthday, then i'll be well on my way back to pre preg weight.

maybe I am putting too much pressure on myself... and i agree about the norty food my dear ones keep leaving for me! I would actually LOVE some nice fruit! all kinds, tropical, and otherwise, i'd love that... and maybe just a few chocolates...

thanks again, i appreciate it so much. I dont want to leave you all, so hope we keep going even after christmas...I've a feeling some of us may still be trying... and if not, post chritmas bulges may need shifting

I probably definitely belong on the lose a stone by next summer but I would miss you all too much!

I had a rubbish evening last night - just exhausted really - so sadly dinner consisted of cheese and crackers and a glass of wine and I was in bed not long after DD.

Today is better, esp as DP has finished nights, so he now talks instead of just grunting!

Breakfast: shreddies, piece of toast shared with dd
Lunch: turkey, stuffing and salad sandwich, low fat yogurt.
Tea: have steak to cook, can I resist the red wine??? I will try!

i'm here for the long haul.maintaining your weight can be just as difficult as losing it in the first place!!!

must say it was too bloody cold to swing my norks this morning,i would have taken someones eye out

Funny you should say that Katy... I had a very embarrassing incident with the postman this morning, delivering a parcel He rang the bell ( twice of course ) wearing a t-shirt and i had not put a bra on yet... answered the door and PING.... nearly had HIS eye out... i was going to ask him if he wanted to hang his coat up...

pmsl susiecutie he will be bringing you parcels everyday

It's been one of those annoying days, today. I won't bore you all with the details, but I tell you, I felt like jacking the whole SAHM thing in and running off to a new, glamourous life of travel and career and nice clothes and boozy lunches. Just felt like such a drudge . But feeling ok, again, now! How are you all tonight?

had strong carbn cravings today - think it's the cold weather brrrr...

Brek: Cup of tea, 2 slices wholemeal toast w/ marg & marmite
Lunch: 2 boiled eggs, 2 slices wholemeal toast w/ marg, nectarine
2pm: 2 oatcakes w/ honey, 1 banana
4pm: Currant bun, cup of coffee
Dinner: Swedish meatballs w/ baked sweet potato & broccoli (random assortment of what I had left in fridge!); fat free vanilla yog

p.s. haven't dared weight myself again but size 14s feeling a bit loose. Yay! (have to be careful though. I went up a dress size in 3 weeks last Xmas eek)

loveangelgabriel that makes your clothes size a 13 so you have gone down half a dress size! congratulations and well done you x

PMSL at you lot with your nippy norks! T'woz rather cold today. I wish they did make a size 13 it would be very helpful at the mo! I'm squeezing myself into mostly 12's just to make myself feel like i'm losing weight. I had a muffin top before i started but in 14's so I look exactly the same really

Brekkie: Toast with l/f philly, banana
Lunch: tuna salad pitta, apple & pear
Dinner: Sketty & Meat balls & salad

Just having a cuppa and munching a small piece of Babyshoes birthday cake (I make him one every month )
