Lazy pig seeks other lazy pigs to lose 1lb a week.

Ok, this starts on Monday, as I have a steak pie and mash and yorkies to eat tomorrow. Will also heroically finish the Christmas chocolate so it’s out of the house. Once that’s all achieved, I’m good to go.

I need and must lose at least one pound a week until April. That’s about a stone.

Shouldn’t be too hard, right? Wrong. I’m basically fucking lazy, I hate exercise, hate going out in bad weather and am a total gluttonous food guzzling pig. And probably peri menopausal. And I sit at a desk all day. And a million other pathetic excuses why I’ve not shifted this weight in 2022 like I said I would.

I can’t be the only one who’s got sod all willpower, so who’s up to being fully accountable to this thread?

Lazy pigs like me especially welcome. Weigh in Monday morning.

So I thought this lazy pig had had a good week, less carbon and 7 a day fruit and veg . Got weighed this morning and not a solitary ounce down . I think my metabolism may need a kick start so going all out bread cheese and pate tonight .

Kriskristoffifee · 13/01/2023 14:11

Cards not carbon

Kriskristoffifee · 13/01/2023 14:11

The soup I chose today was vile. Like soap. Lemongrass and something. Never again. I ditched it and then dh brought me a KitKat as he felt sorry for me for such awful soup (he ate it). Learnt my lesson. Stick to chicken!

If you have a blender then this one is gorgeous. Roasted red yellow and orange peppers, sweet potatoes and smoked paprika soup. I roast red onions too and put garlic in mine. Then blend it up with chicken stock. I tend to use 2 big sized sweet potatoes then blend half of it with most of the stock then the other part with just a bit of stock to make more of of a purée then mix it altogether in a pan and warm it through. I find it makes it thicker to make it more filling that way. I do also add a bit of cream to mine but you can skip that part out.

Period week therefore no weighing, bc i'm not a masochist.

rottweilersrock · 13/01/2023 17:28

I’ve managed a reasonably healthy eating day today, yay!
I have however just opened a bottle of wine, so maybe I’ll start properly on Monday.

I do think that a Monday is a good day to start stuff 😀
I have actually somehow lost 2lb this week, so I guess all is not completely lost

SuzyQ12 · 13/01/2023 17:37

Depending on where I put my scales in the bathroom I've either put on 1lb or lost 4. So I'm averaging out and chalking it up as a 2lb loss.

Now to open the wine!

rottweilersrock · 13/01/2023 17:41

@SuzyQ12 cheers 🥂

EyesOnThePies · 13/01/2023 18:07

@Inchstonesbeatmilestones No, no, no - no 'cheese fan' can recommend Laughing Cow Triangles! That is a compromise too far. Your snack list was award winning up until that point!

Evening piggers! I’m afraid I’m with @EyesOnThePies re laughing cow triangles, but I’m going to work on the rest of the suggestions. This afternoon I made some oat and almond butter no bake bars with only a touch of maple syrup in, so I hope they’re sweet enough to satisfy the sweet tooth 😆

I managed to get half an hour of strenuous garden digging in, plus 20 mins scooting to collect DD and back, and my dinner came to under 250 calories by some weird mystery - 50g duck, 150g mash potato & 100g boiled carrots, plus salad. No idea how it can be so low, but it was properly filling so that's fine by me!

Now to keep on top of the evening snacking 😬😬😬

BobBobBobbing · 13/01/2023 19:01

Rough couple of days with work so the fuckit goblins have been out in force. Chinese for tea but that's actually a light meal for me as I'm not a big fan so just have some rice and the onions from DH's dinner.

And wine. All the wine.

Needs must.... I've scoffed all the Christmas cheese and didn't buy any more because I was being saintly. Still, they have a hint of cheese right 😂

saying that, I have just been speaking to me out and saying we should go to hyperama to buy a feck off block of cheese 😬

Inchstonesbeatmilestones · 13/01/2023 19:12

That should have said Mr Pig. Bloody auto correct!

I was doing so well over christmas and then Wensleydale Creamery insisted, INSISTED* on sending me half price christmas cheese. Its nice they have my wellbeing at heart.

@Kriskristoffifee tbh, if you're going all out cheese and pate (sorry if I've mixed people up) thenSTAY HERE.

I'm just sad there is no pate in my fridge. I live a nice late but I'm trying not to eat bread. Is it acceptable to eat late off a fork?

poshme · 13/01/2023 22:24

@Kriskristoffifee it was you! I checked.

I also like cards.

And wine. Lots of wine tonight.

WTAF? I am eating clean, didn't even have wine / vodka / prosecco last night, AND went for a walk in the woods yesterday.

Harrumph. This is the sort of thing which pushes me off the blinking rails.

This is where I find an app which averages your weight over a week helps me resist the f**k it mentality
You have definitely lost weight with those figures though, so very well done

MKDmumofflash · 14/01/2023 10:38

Yes @LazyPig you're definitely losing if you average it out. And well done! And totally get the same lows as you when you deny yourself treats and 'be good' and it still doesn't fucking work.

Sorry you're feeling miserable @Kriskristoffifee please stay!

I will need you all to send positivity and miraculous flab melting vibes tomorrow - I have to try to put on my wetsuit. Last time (when I was at least a stone lighter) my friend said it was a 3 person job 😭😭😭
