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.

Hormoney shit added 2lb on last week, which thankfully have now departed.

So no loss for a week or so, but no actual gain.

I've just eaten 3 chocolate coins (found in bottom of bag) but I didn't eat them all!

Yippeee, I’ve gone sub 10st finally... 9st 13.5lb!
Just had a Kinder chocolate to celebrate 🤪

Brilliant! What did you start at? I’m still stuck on 10.4 and going out for tea tonight so may as well kiss goodbye to the magic 3 for a few more days. Meh.

Good stuff, BaconAndAvocado! I love it when you go a big number down.

I am 200g away from the next Kg down. Did a long walk today, must have done some good.

BaconAndAvocado · 23/02/2023 15:20

Mañanarama I started at 10.4. My heaviest to date.
Just had a strange but worthy lunch of 4 whole meal crackers, slice of ham, a beetroot, small handful of walnuts, 4 radishes and a blood orange.

On the flip side, I’m doing bangers and mash for dinner!

EyesOnThePies · 23/02/2023 21:51

Today:

Smugberries with some oat bran, flaxseed mix (all sorts of healthy stuff ground up) All Bran and a spoonful of Greek yog.

I slice of wholemeal toast with avocado and some salad.

A caramel wafer (130 cals)

Crisps (130 cals)

A chicken thigh (no skin) with Thai green veg curry and modest portion of rice.

Red wine. 2 glasses. (250 mil total)

Weighed in at 12 stone 2lbs this week. Gosh it’s slow isn’t it? 🥱

Yeah it is slow but I suppose that was the point, we were never going to crash diet!

I must admit though, I’m getting disheartened and clearly need to up my exercise… just waiting for warmer weather as I hate being out in the cold. I really need to lose at least 5lbs in March which is not seeing likely.

Target was 9st 11 by Easter, started at 10st 11, currently 10st 4.

I’m going to start a new thread soon (can’t actually believe we’ve nearly filled one!) so will be taking a full register of attendees and some before and after weights!

OP posts:
HamFrancisco · 24/02/2023 12:47

I'd like to go on the register please. Although my progress is extremely feeble.

Inchstonesbeatmilestones · 24/02/2023 12:55

Register for me too please, I'm at a standstill 😭

Doing the weight loss yo-yo at the moment and it's frustrating as

Same 5lbs since Jan but no more. Seem to be up one down two, up two down one, that kind of thing. Have to consider donating someone a side of pork at this rate 😬

percypig82 · 24/02/2023 13:03

Can i join the next thread please? I don't have loads to lose but I need motivation to lose what I need to... can't stop reaching for the cheese and carbs

Mañanarama · 24/02/2023 13:07

Yep yep yep you’re all in! Not gonna lie I’m hoping to hit 10st 3 before I start a new thread, but how do I know how close we are to the end of this one?!

BaconAndAvocado · 24/02/2023 19:01

Just had a laugh looking at my Nutracheck app. I hadn’t changed my goal for a while and it says I’m going to be 9st 9lb by April 🤣🤣
That was pre-menopausal crazy sweet tooth times.

A bit of food porn for you. My Friday night snack ❤️

BaconAndAvocado · 24/02/2023 20:05

57 calories a sniff?

I would guess the creme pat would be 57 cals on its own the moment you thought about it 😉🤣

BaconAndAvocado · 24/02/2023 20:55

57 a look 🤣
