LPC - we’re gonna need a smaller sty*

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”

Fantastic news! 👆🏻
So great to go under a big number.

Thank you @BaconAndAvocado I’m really pleased and am actually starting to feel slimmer now, hooray! Next target will be 9st 10 and getting some exercise. If I get anywhere below that, great, but not essential.

So glad I started this thread, you’ve all really helped me carry on, even on the sad days! 🐷

Awww well done @Mañanarama !!

I hit 159.6 🤣finally! But al now on holiday 🤣

Well done @Mañanarama !!
Don’r b sad @TheZeppo - hope you enjoyed your weekend away. I agree re be in the centre of group photos.
I’m away for Easter 🐣 nowhere near scales, drank more water and less wine than I would’ve done on a previous holiday so that’s a small win. I’ll reassess (the damage) 🤣when home. Happy Easter all

*Don’t

How are we all, this side of the Chocolate Egg-fest?

Having spent my time to and fro on the shuttle bus to the Lindt shop, with short breaks for cake, Hot Cross Buns and ice cream, I am up half a Kg, and back on my healthy eating pattern. So far -anyway only a breakfast in, but we count our wins, yes?

And only one dark choc Lindt bunny that I have any claim on left - flaunting it's little bell at me, I will put him in a darkened cupboard if he doesn't stop it!

God I want that dark choc bunny 🤣

I am back up to
163, having been on holiday for five days I think I can cope with that!

Starting again now. Don’t have any bunnies to eat, so no temptations!

well done @Mañanarama 🥳

I'm hiding from the scales as been off track for last week or so. Husband's birthday sparked it, good for a few days and now eldest son's 18th on Saturday. ( I will bake the cake but will not eat it 😬)

Well done @Mañanarama for reaching target, send some of that dedication this way !

Yeah, about that reaching target thing… Totally undid it over the weekend and today I visited the Lindt shop’s Easter sale. Did you know they sell a 1kg bunny? It’s bigger than my head and was reduced from £50 to £25. My daughter wouldn’t let me buy it. I don’t know how she became so Saffy.

I’ve been away from scales for a week too so I’m not looking forward to seeing how much of my hard work I’ve undone over Easter. 🍫 🍷 🥘 🪺
However I had a great time and you’ve got to live, so no regrets. I’m back on track today, weigh in on Saturday 😬

Hi all!

I was also in the Lindt shop this week, though only bought for my daughter, who annoyingly, can eat one piece of chocolate and then...stop? Clearly this is not my DNA.

Today I am officially 3 stone down (started December 27th) and I know BMI calculators are not the best tool in the world, but I'm also now only overweight instead of obese.

I'm v pleased with this as I've been for a meal out at least once a week since I've started, had chocolate etc. I could have lost it a lot quicker and been more militant, but then I also would have crashed and binged a lot quicker too.

Still a ways to go, but I'm getting there!

Well done @BeADinosaur -3 stone down is fantastic!
Weigh in today after being on holiday over Easter 😬. It’s not too bad, I put on a few pounds so I’m back to where I was 3 weeks ago, but it was worth losing 3 weeks of progress for a relaxing Easter break and all the wine etc. Back on it tomorrow 💪🏼. I’ve got wine to drink tonight first ☺️. Gotta ease back in

@BeADinosaur that is amazing, well done!! You must be able to feel the difference in 3 stone.

I’m back on the wrong side of 10 but only just, so if I can just stop eastereating hopefully it’ll go. I think I need to set myself some new targets, will have a think.

Back on it from Monday!!

Wow BeADinosaur that’s impressive!
I’m still the right side of 10st but only just.
Still Easter eating here too......DD keeps forcing her unwanted eggs on me 🤣

That's fantastic going @BeADinosaur 🎉

Still in celebration mode here. Eldest son's 18th today. Just cut into this bad boy followed by champagne ( well, it is a celebration).

Back on it from tomorrow morning.

Thanks all!

I think I have a lot more to lose than most of you, 3st is the halfway point for me really! But it does feel good to be down a dress size and I do feel so much better for it, while being aware I have the same again to go.

@Inchstonesbeatmilestones happy birthday to your boy! That cake looks amazing 😍

BeADinosaur., really well done! Nothing better than success like that to motivate you to keep going.

Also, fantastic that you have done this within a happy eating philosophy. You will reach your ultimate goal, and then find it much easier to maintain.

I lost 18Kg in lockdown year and apart from the little tweak I am doing now to address autumn and Christmas scoffing I have stayed the same and my whole diet and lifestyle is healthier.

Hmm: I think keeping my heating off more led to more carb snacking. Freezing cold? Have a hot drink and obligatory biscuit!

@Inchstonesbeatmilestones awesome cake! ☺️
I love the vibe on this thread. I agree with @EyesOnThePies re staying happy in weight loss - no self hatred ! We’re all doing our best and you’ve gotta live.
good luck all 💪🏼

@BeADinosaur 3 stone WOW! Amazing! You should be proud of yourself!

I’m skulking back in after too much chocolate and being out of routine because of school holidays.

I think we’re all a bit post-Easter scalephobic! I was really good all day today, proteins and nothing else.. but then had a bowl of pasta for tea, two slabs of garlic bread, a Wispa, half an Easter egg, and 3 crackers with cheese on. Oops.

I am the Very Hungry Caterpiggar.

Glad it’s not just me.......my sugar monster has gone into overdrive lately.
Now is that the menopause so therefore beyond my control (🤞🏻) to just my greedy pig instincts at play??

Hosting book group tomorrow night which will mean lots of leftover goodies 😭

*or just my greedy

I am repeating our motto: “Slowly, slowly- don’t make yourself sad”.

currently 160.2lbs. Again. That bloody taunting bastarding .2

Properly laughed at ‘very hungry caterpiggar’ @Mañanarama 🤣

Oh God 😫Me too! I was doing so well since Easter but it’s all gone horribly wrong.
This week has not gone according to plan 🙄
