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

[Mañanarama]

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.

Well, Screw It Sunday happened and at weigh in I’m 2lb heavier than my start weight, so 3lb heavier than last weigh in!!! Does that make me Queen Porker?

After Fuck It Friday, Sod It Saturday and Screw It Sunday (DH's birthday weekend involved a couple of meals out, wine and a takeaway), I'm waiting til Friday for my next weigh in! Dreading it!

Morning all, just a quick one with this weeks weigh in!

Mon 9th - 10st 11.4
Mon 16th - 10st 9.6
Mon 23rd - 10st 6.6

I remember last time I got to 10st 5 I was pretty annoyed with myself and vowed I wouldn’t go over, so I’m aiming to be under that by next Monday. Fingers crossed!

So last week and this weekend couldn't be counted as trying at all for me, every day was kid's party day in front of this computer. Anyway, I'm down .8 of a lb, which I count as a real victory.

I am too afeared to weigh today, but well done to @Mañanarama for shedding a few rashers and to those brave enough to step on the scales, even if the result wasn't what you'd hoped for.

Oinksters, I need to rein it in. There have been a few too many celebratory takeaways that I've joined in on and I rediscovered how magically Rocky biscuits go with tea. Lots of late nights too as the apocalypse looms (a dozen assignments over 6 weeks). I need a mindset adjustment. Words of wisdoms are welcome, as are tired old tropes and mantras 😂 I don't want all the above to become excuses, because, quite frankly, they're just a part of life and you can't pause life. Some piggy wisdom please!

Well, I'm not sure it's wisdom @whatausername but what I'm trying to do is to keep a modicum of control. So, when the shit is hitting the fan at work (which it is at the mo), my go to in the last few years has been to binge on biscuits. (It feels weird writing the word binge, but I think I need to own it, it's out of control mindless eating.) What I'm trying to do now is either not eat the biscuits at all, or to eat a more normal sized amount of junk. So today I ate a bar of chocolate, when otherwise I would have eaten a packet of Club biscuits and a pastry.

So in short, I'm trying to be a bit more mindful and a bit less pigful.

I think this is exactly it @HamFrancisco, being a bit more mindful and feeling a bit more accountable (to us, the LPC!), and just, well, not troughing carbs like a pig.

Going to bed peckish is defo working for me, it doesn’t exactly make me feel joyous but I definitely feel slimmer on a morning.

Today I’ve eaten two boiled eggs and some broccoli and stilton soup (home made) for lunch and a bag of crisps because my mouth was hungry. Then for tea some chilli with half the usual amount of rice but a big dollop of sour cream, because “what is chilli without sour cream?” [Socrates]

That sounds yum @Mañanarama . I'm trying to eat a few healthier bits cause I'm sick of feeling lurgied. Have just worked out that my calories are just over 1700 or thereabouts, which is good going for a oinkster like me.

@HamFrancisco definitely trying to be more mindful and less pigful here too, I like that saying. I'm another one mostly just trying to retain some control before I balloon out of all proportion and my poor OH has to start rolling me around like a barrel. Tough day here, had a few more snackerels than I originally planned but I will simply not have tea and biscuits this evening as a little damage control. Dinner was a beautiful steak with mushrooms and spiced potato wedges so I'm not actually hungry and won't miss the tea and biscuits except for out of habit!

Well done to all who lost or maintained on their Monday weigh in and yay for all of us piggies remaining happy while 'on a diet'

Did my initial weigh-in this morning. As expected, I’m at my heaviest 😔Just seeing it on the scales was a huge wake up call. No excuses though, I have been a complete pig of late.
So today I consumed about 900 calories which included a couple of Rich Teas and a Milky Way.
Realistically, I can’t be without a couple of sugary treats each day and that constitutes a fraction of the crap I’ve been consuming over the past couple of months.
Total denial of treats leads to disillusionment and self-sabotage (Aristotle).

@BaconAndAvocado nil desperandum.Rich Teas aren't biscuits ,they're packing material. And I bet you didn't even enjoy them that much .You do know the calorie content is halved if you eat biscuits/cake/chocolate and don't enjoy it much ? You know ,when you've been forced to finish something off .Beyond that moment of enjoyment?
Tomorrow is another day .I too am working on halving rather than eliminating my calorific mistakes .

Au contraire amberedover I relished my packing material! Rich Teas are much maligned in the biscuit community tis true. Plain, unassuming, but I can’t argue with 35 cals a hit!

Didn't lose anything last week which is annoying as I was under my points for the week (WW) by quite some margin. Sigh onwards and upwards

Morning all! I love this thread and you're all brilliant but by eck it moves quickly, I can't keep up (story of my life frankly).

My only news is DH has booked Center Parcs. Next month. Which means that in a month, Greenpeace will be called to the puzzling case of a beached whale in the lagoon pool and will attempt to refloat me ... oh lawks.

Oh lord, I'd need more than a month's notice for swimming costume wearing. Could you LTB?

I concur! Either LTB or get your kid to shit in the pool and get it evacuated, every day til you leave.

Or you could distract your DH with other Center Parcs activities (snigger) and then you wouldn't have to go to the pool at all.

I’ve had a twix. To be fair it’s been a really long week

Very understandable @Whatsthisthing .Weeks can be like that .

🤣🤣

Oh god!!!!!!!!

The swimsuit thought was bad enough.....

Surely Fad can swim and Mum can do stuff with a bit of aline time.

3.5 lbs off over 2 weeks. My pigginess is slowly disappearing 🐷

Only about 38 lbs to go. Oink!

I've managed to lose 6lb, but that'll slow down now because I've had a chocolate relapse. However, I am also doing dry january so need to have at least one pleasure in my life because its january and january is shit.

I am trying to stick to just one small bar a day though, instead of several large bars.

And DH is dieting now too, so at least we can be miserable together, although I get extremely irritated when he has 900 calories left to eat at tea time and I have half that 😂
