Frugaleers - into 2022

[Not2bObvious]

New thread to see us into 2022

Oh yeah I know you're hitched already, I remember you saying that, I know this is a shindig😉 That's loads of time and it'll probably fit you now anyway at your current weight.
In other news, my recent size 12 online shopping haul has been an unmitigated disaster, I think vanity sizing may have died in some shops at least. I've been a size 10 at this weight, now the 12 isn't fitting. I may drop some weight soon before my clothes wear out as I'm not buying 14's, I'll wear pjs all day if I have too! I'm close to not caring.

Vanity sizing is alive and well. Shop’s fun kicking our heads
You will definitely fit that gen by Aug.
12500 steps and couple hundred calories left

I think I'm going to have to stop shopping for clothes until I lose a stone. I'll be able to buy a new Christmas outfit.
Christmas 2023 at my current rate of loss. I hate clothes shopping

Asod is far more reasonable today

130.7 - a pleasant surprise (basically STS) after a week of booze and not giving a sh*t haha! Have an online training course today so decided to WFH, had initially thought of doing it in the office. Have boned 8 chicken thighs and diced up for an ancho, kidney bean and chicken stew with peppers, tomatoes, leeks and carrots. Sort of a Mexican thing, it has great macros and tastes gorgeous. Lots of smoked paprika!
Need to do workout now before logging onto the training day.

Great work gen. 130
Is my goal 4 tomgo

My goal is somewhere between 120-125 I think.

That's really good gen, now you know what maintenance would be if you weren't well or some other life event. The half size me lady always stresses you should have a range that once you fall within you're good - outside it, might be time to adjust.
I'm down 1lb on Monday, .4 on Friday. I'd really like to down 1lb by Friday - that would at least indicate I'm somewhat on the right path. Last weeks .2 was galling.
So it was probably just a bit of carb bloat life, that's great

125 was too hard for me to maintain. 130 more comfortable

Been MIA Mumsnet down for 2 days
l have been fine though catching up on my reading
Food not too bad , been busy so it helps
Isn't it wonderful Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe is on her way home, such a huge relief for her and her family after all this time
Hope everyone is ok
Wonderful on the size 8 clothes for your wedding Gen am so pleased for you lovely
Life glad SOD is being kinder today!
Not that is excellent re the drop of 1 lb everything crossed for Friday weigh in too

Down again today. Was going to do weights tomorrow but have a meeting over the live class

Nice to see the scales dropping life, very encouraging.
At Patrick's Day so off work, extra BH tomorrow as well. Having family over for dinner so must spend day prepping/cleaning etc. Beautiful sunny day too, must get a walk in somewhere.

Happy St Patrick's day to you &everyone Not , glad you have these days off it will do you good
FIngers crossed for a loss tomorrow
Life excellent job well done
My Mother has been a right pita today , so am not in a good way head wise , hence scoffs today

The coaches have advised eat nutritional good food at maintenance and do light exercises such as yoga for a week or 2 as I’m so run down

Choceur craceur does not count apparently

166 over calories but was below last 2 days. Already on 13500’steps and still Zumba to do

Eaten own weight in chocolate cake. Put myself to bed so I can't start on the crisps, hoping that sugar isn't as bad on flux'ing the scales as crisps usually are. A Paddy's day with no booze wasn't awful, wasn't much fun either! At least I don't have drink calorie damage, the cake took its place.

Used my last 2 days deficit and scales spike today 20k steps. Took car to work and blooming car park isn’t open yet. Cba to walk. Wish I had now

I have a post Paddy’s day hangover. 😭 why do I never learn?! Need to drag myself up and make coffee.

Hope you weren't waiting too long for it to open life

Gen I'd say you'll have plenty of companions for the hangover today

I ate white chocolate Terry's chocolate orange mini eggs yesterday a bag of them, they're not great really

There's a weighing scales in hotel bathroom why

Not that's so disappointing about the clothes isn't it?

They were late opening it so waiting 20 minute.
The greggs app won’t take my payment guess there is a message there.

Don’t do it happier, they will asod you

Sorry you're suffering gen, hit the fluids & the carbs and you'll feel better by lunchtime.
Not glad the Terry's things were shite happier, but glad to have found out before investing in the Easter egg version as I was tempted. You're away? That's great, but oh dear god don't go near the ASOD!
I did my official Friday weigh in, down .6 so now 166. A loss is a loss so on we go.

I e had a fruit scone and jam for lunch, my work it was delicious

That's so funny life, I had a scone with jam for lunch on Wednesday as a treat and it was divine!

Can't beat sones with jam butter and cream
That's very good Not
Glad you are enjoying your hols Happier don't get on the SOD
Gen hope you feel much better now lovely
Life that scone sounds lush was it from Greggs by any chance drool
Been ok busy shopping so that was all good
Just been catching up on here and finished reading my book
I thoroughly enjoyed it The Thursday Murder Club
Beautiful day here hope everyone has had this lovely weather today as well

It was from the work cafe bar, they are like rock cake scones and mmmmmm
Set me away on a crappy afternoon though
