New thread!

@illiterato so impressed by your running.

how is your building work going?

DH said we weren’t having dinner tonight to avoid making any mess in the kitchen. He ate peanuts and I had an apple. dad ate at skiing.

I am feeling the fear of the proper summer holiday looming so that’s my focus. 15 weeks x 2lbs = 30 pounds down aiming for 12 stone 7 pounds.

a fifteen week plan and maybe a spotless kitchen in the process.

@Stravaig and @illiterato

an unexpected boost to weight loss. I have an intolerance to wine and on Friday night there were drinks. Now I knew I would pay a heavy hangover price but it was horrific from 2am onwards. I was soooo ill that I am now five pounds lighter than Friday morning.

@Sodullincomparison Oh no! Brutal, but effective. Gently gently with the rehydration and next foods please xxx

It was only three glasses of wine- large admittedly. Never again!

I’ll stick to some random cocktails in the future.

excited for this week. Aiming for a three pound weight loss and just drinking water and having dinner between mom- thurs.

looking forward for this cold snap to be over to be out and about more

Yikes. I completely lost the plot in March, for reasons, some ongoing and a bit scary. However, as sugar doesn't actually help, scales this morning. Ignoring the fluctuations up/down over the past few months, I've put on 3.8 kg since my mid Jan low. I'm now officially overweight again. Hoping I can reverse this quite quickly.

I have some purple kale to try this week!

Hello @illiterato @Stravaig

hope you are both ok.

sounds like it’s been a crazy month- I hope you are ok. I’m sure with the better running weather it will soon come off.

I have had ten days from hell in work and have lost eight points so now I’m 14’4

not sure how it will pan out over coming weeks. DH said “that’s a bonus” not sure that’s how it works.

xx

@Sodullincomparison Yikes, that sounds awful. Might as well enjoy the weight loss though, and I hope work eases up soon x

Tell DH to make himself useful cooking lots of delicious healthy meals!

Purple kale, samphire, sundream tomatoes, wholewheat penne, lemon oil, basil. Parmesan and black pepper added after photo.

That meal looks like summer is coming!!!

I've just been given a fancy wee dark chocolate easter egg (which rattles!), and a huge head of purple kale, and I am equally delighted with both 🤣

🥳 All clear! I was recalled for further testing after a routine screen back in Feb. I've been quietly quite anxious underneath, hence silence and reversion to excess sugar consumption.

Today I'm eating my favourite ice-cream. Tomorrow, onwards again!
⚖️ then 🌶️🥕🥬🥦🌽🍠🍅🍇🍎🍋🥑🥚🍣🍤 also🚶🏻‍♀️and 📖.
I want to be a cool, comfortable weight before another unreasonably hot summer 😎

How are you both? I hope work has settled @Sodullincomparison x

That’s great news! DH has been waiting on results too ( just slightly high cholesterol). It had convinced himself it was something as so ate any chocolate he could find.

12 weeks until summer holiday. I have a whole wardrobe of clothes to wear if I lose 20lbs so that’s the aim.

we have our BBQ setup for grilled meat and veggies with salad for the next few weeks.

back to work tomorrow so let’s see how it goes.

we went for a family walk on Friday but it was only 10,000 steps and normally we would do 25,000 without the little one. We need to up her distance.

A friend sent an Easter home video and I look nice but massive in some shots! Argh!!!

Let’s do this!

Hi all. I am still here. Just been travelling these last few weeks. Still 68kg 🤣. Literally haven’t moved since Christmas.

@illiterato Hello! Picturing you running around the globe 🌍🏃‍♀️.

@Sodullincomparison It's so contrary, isn't it? If something were wrong, then healthy eating and intermittent fasting would be a good foundation for dealing with it. But, no, I've eaten all the chocolate and put on ½ stone and likely a cup size between initial screen and further investigation/all clear 🤪.

I'm in! I have a similar amount to lose to reach my healthy-for-me range.

Your barbecue plans sound wonderful, and loving the idea of the wee one in training so's not to hold you back 😍🤣.

Hello gorgeous!

Almost as colourful as my jelly beans!!!

persuaded DD5 to make bunny bags with chocolate eggs from her massive hunt for our neighbours to get the chocolate out of the house.

do you just buy your samphire at the supermarket or do you have a local market?

@Sodullincomparison Tesco often has it (imported) - not sure about other places. Oh for markets heaped with fruit and veg!

Another kilo up. I've been eating wonderfully healthy meals ... then adding vast quantities of crappy chocolate in the evenings. I'm going to try and psychologically game myself back on track. With horror. Ready?

I've put on 3.9 kgs since mid Jan low! THREE POINT NINE!
TWO-THIRDS of a stone!!
Back in OVERWEIGHT BMI!!!
I have FIVE mini milestones to RE-DO!!!!
😳😩😭🤯🧐

That should do it ...

Haven't made this for a while!
Mini plum tomatoes, black beans, red onion, coriander leaf, lime juice.
Served with just-set egg in winter, avocado or feta in summer.
Joyously colourful and messy to assemble.
MN says the image is 'sensitive', ooh la la, so vibrant and healthy!

Not sure why it’s saying your lovely salad is ‘sensitive content’.

ha ha makes me feel sensitive as I had a cheese spread sandwich all day. Not even beige- just white food. Argh

weight loss still off due to ongoing work issues.

can’t wait for the weekend to sleep and eat some good meals.

My weight can vary by six pounds per week so I’m sure you can get it down.

just a little less chocolate each evening.

I’m going to a massive international food store this weekend for all the fruit and veg. I’m missing interesting foods since we moved to the countryside.

Your massive international food store sounds wonderful!

🎉May Day!

Taking stock. I lost 14.1 kg over 3½ months 🫠, then I gained 5.6 kg over 3½ months 🎢. Time to head downwards again 🛝.

Trying to ward off the scary things I hear about peri/menopause making weight loss difficult to impossible!

I’m off the hrt as quickly as I went on it. It wasn’t a great fit.

we have lots more fresh food at the moment - lots of meat and salads and unprocessed foods but then I have seen a creeping in of extra treats.

work has been really tough and my boss has given me a new promoted role for riding it out I think 😂 so now things are settled, I can concentrate back on my diet.

im at 14’7 so the weight I lost hasn’t come back.

im really not good at focusing on more than one thing at a time: saving money/ eating well/ dealing with a crisis.
