Thread 1: www.mumsnet.com/talk/weight_loss_chat/4715040-lazy-pig-seeks-other-lazy-pigs-to-lose-1lb-a-week?page=1

We started on 9th January (ish) after we’d very heroically finished off the Christmas chocolate. We discussed our half-arsed plans to shift a bit of timber as we wafted our pudgy trotters vaguely towards the fruit bowl. No one really wanted to exercise properly because it’s too cold/wet/exercisey. We all love biscuits more than being thin yet we vowed to cut down on digestives. We promised, with our fingers crossed just in case. We owned our weaknesses, piggies, we owned them loud and proud and we were as determined as porky trough munchers can be, to aim for around 1lb a week weight loss.

And lo! Lazy Pig Club was born, hooray, and now we need a new thread. Let me know you’re here and how you’re doing, and new pigs are definitely more than welcome!!

Always remember our only rule and the LPC motto: “slowly, slowly - don’t make yourself sad”

I am here!!

Haven't lost anything recently. Apart from my phone. I lose that all the time.

I lost my dignity last night after a few too many cocktails.

Having stagnated at between 10.4 and 10.5 for too long, I’ve dropped a little, still hoping to be 9 stone something by Easter.

The new sty is open!

Thanks @Mañanarama

Managed to ignore fuck it Friday yesterday, hope to be a good pig tonight ( although the teen is driving me mad so may need to wire my snout shut 😉)

Ooh I fancy cocktails!

I also hope to be 9 something by easter. Currently 10.2

I'm here! I wholeheartedly embraced Fuck It Friday, and about to have chips as part of Shag It Saturday.

Don’t forget Sod It Sunday!

I’ve got a lot of eaty drinky events this month, so I’ll have to be really good during the week. Five weeks til I need to don a swimsuit in front of Slim Sally and her carb-shunning fell-running buddies. I bet they all have those cut out swimsuits, the ones where my solid muffin tops would be akin to raw muffin mix oozing through the gaps.

Haha, I know the swimsuits you mean. Terrifying, think I'd look like a nicely rolled stuffed joint of pork if I tried that style on now!

Mmmm, crackling 🤣

Fishcakes, rice and veggies for dinner. I suspect there will be Creme Eggs for supper though...

Creme Eggs are a lot smaller than they used to be, so if you must have two we’ll fully understand.

I love crackling.

In one of my locals, they serve long strips of it in a glass, with a side of apple sauce.

Pint of crackling please, barman.

Good God. Where is this place and how do I get there!

Porkshire!

I'm trotting as fast as I can!

Signing in to the new thread.

Fully embraced shag it Saturday. So full of chips and cake. Tomorrow I'm aiming for healthy until tea time because we're having a roast and you've all made me crave some crackling!

Trotters up! (I don't actually know what this means I just like the word trotters )

I’m here!

Embraced Fuck it Friday, Shag it Saturday and will be fully embracing Sod it Sunday with roast lamb followed by lemon meringue pie.

Happy Weekend, fellow Porksters🐷

My mother serves enormous portions. Just call me three dinner superpowers.

Morning Oinksters!

Having a Snout Out Sunday as yesterday I undid my good (but slow) downward trajectory by picking up a bag of those little cinnamon rolls when I was in IKEA buying sensible household necessities, and I might have put them away but someone dropped in so I had to open them and then ate Quite A Lot.

CheekySwine: wrt daily weighing. Daily is so up and down , salt and water retention, what is lurking in your innards, etc, and little up-spikes can be discouraging. If you know broadly what you need to (not) eat to lose weight you might find weighing every 4 days or so more encouraging? But everyone’s different.

Morning!!

Monday morning weigh in after 8 weeks of not ramming biscuits down my neck as if my life depended on it.

9th Jan - 10st 11.4
6th March - 10st 2.8

Have just kept to the 1lb a week target but definitely slowing down. Will I hit sub-10 by Easter?!

9th Jan: 67Kg
Now: 65.1

Very very gradual. This is a tweak to get back to my weight of 64.2 / 64.4 from April 2021 - autumn 22 when a creep back up started. My tweaking hasn’t been half so efficient as my original gradual weightloss from 82 or 83 Kg.

But I am hardly living a life of deprivation and gloom, food wise.

Ds left a Lindt Choc reindeer on his desk when he went back to Uni in Jan. It’s still there!!!! This is a major source of smugness.

(I can’t say the same for the bar of Tony Chocolonely Mint Candy Cane, but it’s dark choc, and he doesn’t like dark choc, so I was doing him a favour)

EyesOnThePies I’m in awe of your self-restraint in the presence of a Lindor product.
Regarding Tony Chocolonely chocolate, it’s a scientific fact that self-restraint is impossible.

Mãnanarama yay! If it comes off slowly, it will stay off longer. I really have no idea if that’s true but it sounds good.

EyesOnThePies I’m in awe of your self-restraint in the presence of a Lindor product.

Given your familiarity with scientific facts, how possible do you think it is to replace a Choc reindeer with a Choc bunny without the difference being spotted?

I would claim it's a Pokémon and has evolved 😉🤣

Problem solved

Well, both have long bits protruding from their heads.....I’d say go for it!

SW: 12st 8
CW: 11st 8.6
GW: 10st

I just can’t hit that bastarding stone and now all I can think of is getting a choc Lindt reindeer 🤬🤣
