I like the sound of your friend Aria999!
You and my mum would be in good company 66babe. She loves Brussels but only eats them at Christmas too!
I heard about Junemass too Tynks. There should be some Christmas press shows starting soon. They are usually in July. I believe Sainsburys have issued invites. Just gonna quietly leave this link here Grin

Well I had a wobble yday and secretly ate 2 pastries in the car so dh didn't find out, then a bbq and a glass of wine.

So annoyed with myself but also weirdly feel back on track today where I usually think screw it til next weigh day so guess that's something.

Tynks · 08/07/2021 07:44

Morning @ChinnyMcChinnerson just forget about yesterday. The main thing is that you are back on it today. It's fine.

How's everyone doing? I'm just getting ready to go for my hair cut.

66babe · 08/07/2021 08:55

It's gone now @ChinnyMcChinnerson fab that you've enjoyed let it ruin today
That would have been my default too !
Good luck with the hair @Tynks hope you love it 😍

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 08/07/2021 10:31

Oh crap I had another snacksident 

This is sooo much harder than it used to be.

I'm taking dd to get hers cut today @Tynks , first time having it washed in a salon and she so excited! Are you having a major restyle or one of those trims that makes you feel like a queen for a day?

73kittycat73 · 08/07/2021 12:16

Aww ChinnyMcChinnerson, we can't be perfect all the time. But anyway, sounds like you are definitely in the right mindset by getting back on the horse. Well done you. Star (Just seen your update. No worries, just draw a line and carry on. Or have a day off and get back on it tomorrow if you are really not feeling it today? I'm sure one day can't do too much damage?)
Good luck with the appointment Tynks. I hope you really, really like your hair when it's done. Smile
How are you today 66babe? I went to yoga last night when the football started. Community centre is in the middle of a housing estate, their gardens back onto the community centre. You could hear all the cheering and booing and could smell their delicious bbq's!

Amdone123 · 08/07/2021 13:00

This thread is hilarious. I've just been laughing so loud, my ds came to see if I was ok.
Op, stop dieting. You are perfect as you are. Stop nursing and write a book ( you are really funny). You could make millions then employ a personal chef, trainer etc. Problem solved.
Or start your own fat club ! I'll come ! We'd drop the lard through laughing. Then we could have wine n cheese and dance ! ( I'm same as you. Go for 1 week then can't do it. I'm scared to go to new clubs. I always think when they imput my name, the computer will blow up ).
Strangely, since I've stopped 'dieting', I'm doing better. I'm still overweight ( 5ft 7, probably 13st 5ish, but can't be sure).
By doing better, I mean I feel better. Not pissed off on a daily basis. Or scared of ⚖

66babe · 08/07/2021 13:39

Hi @Amdone123
Welcome to the madhouse
You are totally right we should all stop dieting immediately... however ...if we are ever allowed to return to any kind of normality I am concerned that
1- I may need to pay for 2 seats on a plane
2- no man will ever want to snog my face off ever again
3- I have enough clothes that are too small for me that I could open my own charity shop
4 - I'm really not happy at this size

I'm on day 4 now of not being on a diet so it's a miracle and I hope to maintain it a bit longer ...
please feel free to join us .. all welcome

Amdone123 · 08/07/2021 13:43

@66babe , lol 😆. I know. We're miserable when we don't do it and miserable when we do.
Well done on Day 4 ( of not you-know-what).

Tynks · 08/07/2021 15:02

Well girls, my hair has been coiffured to within an inch of its life.

I lost eight inches and it's now collarbone length. I have a fringe and a few layers at the front so it's not all one length anymore.

I had the biggest bounciest blow dry fit for a Pantene advert. Unfortunately I went straight to work so it's tied back for now and will probably ruin the blow dry.

Let me tell you, a fringe is so good. I can't see my forehead frown lines anymore plus my eyebrows are no longer on show so less plucking for me. Go get yourselves a fringe cut, way cheaper than Botox. 😄

Tynks · 08/07/2021 15:04

@66babe day four, you are doing amazingly well. I saw an advert for the Coop on tele last night and I thought if you. How much money a week do you think you are saving by boycotting the coop?

Tynks · 08/07/2021 15:15

@66babe DO NOT LOOK AT THE ATTACHED PHOTO. WARNING FOOD PORN.

I bought these earlier as my son is coming round for tea later. I will not eat, repeat will not eat. 😁

How bad are we talking?

Tynks · 08/07/2021 15:37

66babe · 08/07/2021 17:56

I've had a couple of snacksident in my lifetime
Love that @ChinnyMcChinnerson

Lovely to hear the hair was a great success @Tynks such a boost !

Hi Amdone123, welcome to the thread. Smile
Tynks I'm so glad you liked your hair! I bet that was a relief. That's why I'm getting my cut again, never liked it in the style I have now. Look like Fred Dinenage. Sad
Oh Tynks I thought we were friends? Then you go and post pictures like that! Lol, seriously, those look seriously delicious! I admire your willpower if you can resist them. I don't think I would be able to. Just a little nibble you understand...
Four days is most impressive 66babe. Star You are doing so well! Did you say you were weighing Sunday, or did I imagine that?
I have two NSV. When I started yoga (About 4-5 weeks ago) I bought some long sleeved tops to wear. When they turned up and I tried them on they looked awful. Skin tight and loads of bulges everywhere. It was cold last night (Hello? Summer, where are you?!) so I thought I'd try one on...and it fits! It looked OK. Smile
My other NSV is nothing to do with weight, but still a victory nun the less. I had to take out a loan last year and tomorrow I'm making the last payment! Yay! That will free up £72.00 a month. That's going towards my fund for new winter clothes as I'll be to slim (Hopefully) for my wardrobe from last year (Mainly size 20s.)

73kittycat73 · 08/07/2021 19:43

Nun the less! Grin lol. I mean none the less.

66babe · 08/07/2021 20:05

That's wonderful news @73kittycat73 ... be so lovely to not have that hanging over you ... and great for your credit score that you have paid back appropriately..

You've done fantastic from your SW to CW ... you deserve those wee treats

I've just watched Emmerdale and feel like I need chocolate to compensate for what a total utter load of codswallap it is just now

I live in a village where the most exciting thing that ever happened was when the postman reversed into someone's fence ... they still talk about it now

OP posts:
73kittycat73 · 08/07/2021 20:12

Thank you. Smile It does feel like a huge relief to have it gone now. You're right, it was hanging over me. Not any more! Yay. Grin
My mum watches Emmerdale and tells me all about exciting story lines. She's been telling me about Meena (?) is it, and guessing who she's going to kill?
Lol about the postman!

66babe · 09/07/2021 18:57

Lovely ladies ..
I think we are all ladies , never actually checked ? How are we all today ?
I've been a busy bee .. worked from home all day then was like a lunatic trying to do back and front garden not a euphuism it really was the garden before the rain started
Does the sky wait for me to be free to piss it down and then stop just as I have to go to work ?

Hang on a sec, ^goes to check* Yep, I am female. Grin
You know, I was just coming on the weight loss boards to look for this thread and there you are at the top. Smile
Big congrats on all those steps! Star Star Star Damn that rain...
I'm looking forward to taking my measurements on Monday as I swear my belly has gone down a bit today. My mum agrees too. (Not least because she's my mum and kind of has too. Grin )

73kittycat73 · 09/07/2021 19:10

Messes up HTML Does it right this time Grin

66babe · 09/07/2021 19:27

Ah that's great news Kitty .. sometimes measurements are better than scales ... mums can be kind but sometimes brutally honest too bloody hell who ate all the pies
not my finest memory , mind you mine is a cow
I look forward to celebrating your win Monday probably while I'm commiserating my gain the day before
It's a bit like my old school report card " must do better "
