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 was a little Euro-piggy yesterday and ate all 26 countries worth of calories.

Im in. Im going to go low carb. Until next weekend, when I’m going to a wedding...

Ok then Zeppo, low carb it is. I’ll be having another slice of key lime pie tomorrow night but aside from that it’s mainly eggs, cheese, ham and chicken for me this week. Wahhhh. Feel sad already.

I'm with you @Mañanarama .

I feel like I need to be a very sad piggy and go sit in the corner and not snuffle. It's as if I have a self sabotage mindset, oh, down in the next stone bracket..... Relax. NO, BAD PIGGY 😂. Step away from the cake!

I know exactly what you mean!

I hit 158 Sat morning, so naturally ‘treated’
myself the rest of the weekend. Only, it’s not a treat as I just feel
gross and uncomfortable! Scales back to 160 today, unsurprisingly.

Im on the black coffee. Low carb, 11-7 eating, lower calorie. Just mon-Thur, hoping to kickstart the loss again!

Sad piggy is often grumpy piggy because of morning fasting...

Hello porky pals. I lost my way in the trough and couldn't handle the thread but I'm hoping you'll let me back in. I'm 2lb up on when I last weighed.

I'm going on holiday in July and really want to get a stone off in that time (I'm 15 stone 8, so that should be doable, right?). Am afeared of being hideously hot and uncomfortable.

Welcome back everyone, it does seem we need to put a concerted efforts to get ourselves summer ready!

I’ve been good today until my daughter gave me four Tuc biscuits. No no, said I, I’ll just have two. Had four.

Would weight targets help us feel more accountable? I’d love to be under 10 again by 27th but there’s not much time and I’m in no mood for sadness.

I did low carb until 5pm, when I ate half a family bar of dark choc 😳

I want to hit 156lbs by June 1st, as that will put me at 20lb loss and I’d be thrilled 🤣

Today I ate the following but felt sad and hungry. Sungry.

Good:
A boiled egg
Some chicken
Some ham
A dozen grapes
A bit of cheese
A third of a cucumber

Bad:
Four tuc bicuits
A large slice of key lime pie with cream
Small bowl of mac n cheese

Been eating loads and loads of sweet stuff recently but not really sticking to proper meals.
Amazingly, I’ve only gained 1lb! Very unhealthy (but highly enjoyable) approach to eating.

Hi @Mañanarama and all of you - I’d got disheartened and not been back in here but then past couple of weeks I’ve got back in the zone and doing well again. Someone on this thread or another one recommended following esgfitness Emma storey- Gordon on instagram for motivation and it did the trick. Recommended to all! Thanks to whoever suggested it 🙏🏻

Well I’ve stacked on 4lbs in about a week. Ffs. No chance of me getting below ten by Saturday. Bloody bollocks.

Hello StyMates! I’m back!

I met my target and was then beset by complacency and greed. I need to re-tweak and get used to a New Normal. And free myself from thought patterns such as:
Oooh look, Lidl’s version of a “Solero is only 120 Calories!…
… Wow, 3 for the price of one Solero!
…So might as well eat 3!”

Summer brings its own challenges. Tubs of ice cream.

Hey @EyesOnThePies , good to see you but we’re all feeling a bit disappointed in ourselves. Help!

Well we need to polish our trotters, tighten the curl of our tails and sort ourselves out, don’t we?

No point being disappointed with ourselves, it is our great future that counts!

I might have to recalibrate my ‘sad’ threshold to a less treat-rich mix.

Partly I have been bored and directionless, and need to keep busier.

Yes, i whacked on a load too.
whoops.

The batteries fell out of my scales. I shoved them back in and appear to have lost 3lbs. I will take that, even if it is a LIE 😂

Half way to my target now: 18lb down, I realise it’s quite slow but that means it’ll stay off right? RIGHT?

Right!!!

I’ve lost two of the four I put on but am very definitely in pig mode this week. It’s bloody hard work innit.

One knackered piggy here, just finished work, cooked dinner ( haven't eaten it yet as didn't want to have a full stomach for garden work but kids needed feeding)and then shifted two tonnes of pink granite......

Oh, and I smell piggy now too ( odour de stye I think I'll call it), so bath then if I can move, will think about eating dinner

Those scales better go in the right direction this week!

@TheZeppo wow you are doing well!
Yes, it will stay off if you stick to new good habits / healthy eating… I am still in the green bit of the BMI chart after losing 3 st in lockdown 2020.
Just having a 2Kg re-tweak.

Well Oinksters, the good news is the proper summer strawberries are in the shops. The sweet delicious healthy ones. I did buy more fake Soleros this afternoon but I DID NOT EAT ONE! I had a bowl of lovely strawberries instead just picking them up by their stalks, and they were lovely!

Let’s eat strawberries!

Right! I have reigned in my toast intake, kept my exercise up and lost a few 100g. A lb, actually, in a week.

It’s salad season, strawberry season, out and about season, we can do this!

Happy Bank Hol weekend everyone.

Thank you @EyesOnThePies feeling pretty pleased with myself today!

157.4 - only 1.4lbs until I hit that 20lb loss. That sounds like a lot!!

confession time: I’ve never dieted before. Never had to 😳but before Xmas I got ill and was drinking a lot, so packed on 3 stone super fast. I stopped drinking this year and am (mostly) better, so hoping not to regain it all.

Sure is farrrrr slower losing than it was to gain!

Just finding my way back to the sty....having put on instead of losing!
My latest idea is to try and walk the weight off, combined with IF

The sty has been closed for a few days. Those locked inside are being well behaved and eating vegetable scraps while the escapees eat their own body weight in not-vegetables, every day.

Or is it just me?

Im eating Revels.

My favourites are orange but I hate the coffee. A dangerous game.

When shall I unlock the sty? Sunday night?
