Yay, you go girl! There's no stopping you now. Smile

Notthissticky · 04/07/2021 23:26

Please may I join you? I am a bit younger but significantly heavier than most here so I hope that's OKSmile My aim is to eventually get down to 12st 13.5lbs (82.3kg). I'd still be obese, but only just. This was my adult weight from age 16 until 31. I started at 16st a couple of months ago and lost 9lbs in the first three weeks but am stuck now. My knees hurt and I would like to be around to see my sons become fathers (they're 2.9 and 5 months so I've got some time to go still 😆). I started logging my food on my Fitbit yesterday and I am shocked. Onwards and downwards! Official weigh in tmrw.

At the risk of sounding like an evangelist if anyone wants to join us here to have fun, eat cheese and lose weight all at the same time, come on over

I ended up watching this thread after I commented on it before and I keep feeling that it is much more fun on the other side 🙂

All weighed and exactly the same as last week so could be worse.

I am feeling a lot more positive going forward though. I'm hoping for a stone off by September, I need to lose the first 7lb ASAP though as my clothes are severely limited atm GrinBlush

66babe · 05/07/2021 07:32

We can do it Chinny ! One week ... that's all we are doing .. one week and let's see how we get on ...

OP posts:
ChinnyMcChinnerson · 05/07/2021 08:07

That exactly what I told myself earlier!! Grin

Tynks · 05/07/2021 11:16

@ChinnyMcChinnerson staying the same weight is a win in my book. It means that you haven't over indulged and have just maintained. That's winning.

73kittycat73 · 05/07/2021 12:42

Hi Notthissticky nice to meet you. Smile
How is everyone doing today? I agree about one week at a time. I was lucky I didn't have any snacks in the house last night as I had a major craving. I did find two squares of mint dark chocolate which I ate. Grin
Still waiting for someone to come and fix the toilet...Angry

Aria999 · 05/07/2021 13:36

Thank @66babe hope it works out! Have a good day!

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 05/07/2021 18:32

I've done it! No chocolate today!!

66babe · 05/07/2021 19:29

Ah that's fab Chinny ! Well done ... you see one day at a time
I've been pretty good too -not perfect but better than I have been so it's a win in my eyes
Steps only at 7000 , been training someone at work today so a lot of sitting , reading, discussing , policy dissecting
Still feeling ok

@66babe it's like you've been hiding in my bathroom!

66babe · 05/07/2021 20:11

😂😂😂😂 not just me then
I refused to weigh myself once as I'd washed my hair I've got a very short pixie. I was convinced wet hair may be heavier .. 🙄

Well done ChinnyMcChinnerson! Star That's not an easy thing to do, go you!

Had a hard day today craving and exercise wise. I phoned the LLs (Landlords) office this morning and they said they'd send someone out today to unblock the loo. Get's to 1 pm, then 2pm, 3...I tried phoning back and it goes straight to messages again and again. I was getting a bit desperate at this point, my loo had been unuseable for almost 3 days! I tried phoning environmental health for some help. The stupid woman kept telling me it was my LL problem and to phone him, after I explained they weren't answering. Hmm In desperation I tried phoning Shelter for some advice, ie, could I hire an emergency plumber and invoice my LL for it. Phoned and phoned but couldn't get through to anyone. Finally at 5pm someone from the office turned up. Could barely speak English which doesn't bother me but had a time of it trying to communicate with each other. Of course in the end it was my fault. Hmm Apparently I put too much tissue down the toilet. worlds biggest eyeroll Nothing at all to do with the cruddy plumbing. Last time it was apparently because I put 'nappies' (Sanitary pads) down the toilet (I had a hysterectomy a few years ago, haven't used 'Nappies' since then.). The time before I was accused of putting cloths down the toilet! Still, it's done for now. Really stressed me out though. Really, really wanted to eat sweet stuff all day and not go to yoga. Didn't eat sweet stuff in the end and did go to yoga. She likes to sneak in these impossible poses at the end. This week it was the tortoise. grin I hope everyone's had a better day than me?!

A GP friend of mine once went to give blood purely because she'd binged and was worried she'd have gained weightShock
66babe · 05/07/2021 20:35

Well as a nurse I was feeling quite ashamed but ... that was a GP? 🤭

Wouldn't work for me as I've had a few blood transfusions I can't be a donor ..

I did once offer a Turkish coach transfer to drop me off at a local hospital that do those BBL
I didn't want one .. just willing to donate some fat they can keep it !

I don't think he got it

OP posts:
ChinnyMcChinnerson · 06/07/2021 08:07

I have my first give blood booked in a few weeks!

I've just googled the tortoise pose.. did you manage that?! I'm aching just trying to work out how to do it and will just watch my own tortoise 🐢 and say that's close enough!

I've waited til the next day to weigh because I took some paracetamol.. I want to say something witty but think it's a bit sad.

66babe · 06/07/2021 10:21

Chinny .. I hear you
You also would have swallowed some water with that paracetamol! Beware and delay !

73kittycat73 · 06/07/2021 11:04

ChinnyMcChinnerson I did it OK. Not with my torso touching the floor, but did OK. Grin I was about half way down. You have your own pet tortoise? That's cool! How old are they?
Hi 66babe how are you doing today? I didn't stick to my fast last night, ate an apple and two Worthers sugar free candies. Was really hungry! Luckily there's no treat food in the cupboard. I remember going to look for it last night! lol
Hi Tynks you doing ok? and Notthissticky and Aria999, muddledmidget? I hope you are all easily sticking to your goals today. Smile

Tynks · 06/07/2021 11:04

Morning all, glad that you are all sticking to the plan.

I've been really busy at work but I am off today. I have an exciting day planned consisting of housework and defrosting the freezer. How exciting for me. Cant wait.

I would like to go for a walk with the dog but it's pouring and I don't like getting wet and muddy. Maybe later but probably not 😁

I have been really good with food which is worrying me as I keep expecting myself to fall head first into the biscuit tin. So far I have resisted, just taking one day at a time.

I had a male fainter at work yesterday and as he was coming round he puked on my feet. Im still traumatised 😁

ChinnyMcChinnerson · 06/07/2021 11:14

Exactly!

I've opened the fridge so many times this morning and shut it again..I miss being in a office.

66babe · 06/07/2021 16:36

@Tynks bet that put you off your lunch ! Every bit helps eh 🤣

I am miraculously on day 2 of normal good
I am worried however about the coop in the next village - they may go under without my weekly contributions, will at least need to return some ice cream haribos revels giant buttons Reece cups and probably a few coffee cakes .. without me they will have surplus I am sure !

OP posts:
Tynks · 06/07/2021 16:55

@66babe yes you are going to be responsible for the coop closure.

They are probably wondering where you have been, they will be missing you. 😂

You are being really good. I'm happy for you that you are trying hard. It's crap though is t it?

So is Sunday your new weigh in day?
