KATYBUMPERS EASTER CHALLENGE.HOW MUCH DO YOU WANT TO LOSE?

[katylessbumpy]

i'm aiming to lose for 8 lbs.

Morning all, lovely singing there katy thank you

I have lost one pound this week, I was hoping for more but hey I have now officially lost ONE STONE

I have just made myself a smoothie with my new Dualit handblender, its fab

WOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO what a great birthday pressie!!!!!!!!!!!!

wow!!!!! well done mrsfish!!!

Happy birthday, Mrs Fish!
Have you anything planned?
Well done on your stone too! Have you noticed a huge difference to how you were at the beginiing of the year? Are your clothes too loose?

I have lost 2lbs. Woohoo!
That means 13lbs so far. I'm looking forward to my 'one stone' celebration next week

I am going shopping this morning to buy soup stuff.
I'll remember not to put avocado in it Fedda! Sounds revolting

I have friends coming round shortly for coffee, then my mum is coming at midday, then I am out for a meal with dh tonight

I have been busy this morning, cleaned the aga and the kitchen (it was revolting and really cluttered) and hoovered everywhere and tidied away all the clutter in the lounge and hallway. Am now eady to have a relaxing day. Will probably go a walk with my mum and her dog and the boys this afternoon.

To be honest I don't feel an awful lot different compared to the start of the year, mind you I am no longer wearing maternity stuff which is fantastic and my dh keeps saying that he thinks I look loads better so it must have made a difference. I so wanted to lose two pound this week though so I could be 12 stone dead. I really hope I can make it back in my elevens for next week. I have a black tie ball at the end of the month so would love to be a few pounds lighter for that.

good afternoon ladies,i'm pleased to announce that i have lost another 2 lbs taking my total to 18 in 9 weeks

Thats amazing katy!!!!!!!!!

I'm half excited about my weigh in and half apprehensive! I'll be soooo chuffed if i'm 11 or under but so gutted if I haven't quite done it! I know I can do it and if i havent done it this week then I will by next week but you know what its like! It's being like that that stops me shovelling cakes and biscuits in my mouth lol so needs must for now!

I was going to go to the gym tonight but I'm not, I'm exhausted after swimming last nigth as well as having 3 under 3 today from 7.15am this morning (popped on while they're having afternoon snack! i'll make do with a glass of squash!) just done the school run so now i've got dd1 too (who is 8 and helpful most of the time!) dp will be back about 4.30 as well Dd2 has done 2 massive pooh's today (she's been suffering constipation for months) so i'm quite chuffed about that!

way to go on your dds poo she must feel so much better.

did it work though?
i've just done half an hour on my stepper and had a shower .dd is in bed so i'm going to chill out tonight.dh is home and everything is going ok

lovemygirls,great idea about having the healthy snacks to hand

hi all

The SW is not going well really. Ive kind of put it on hold until my head is in a better place. Well, not totally stopping it, but i've decided to ley myself have the odd chocolate bar if I fancy it, and if it will lift me a teeny bit. I'm just so unhappy.

I hate my body and weight too, I really really do. So I know i'll regret not just getting on with the diet. I dont know, I just really wanted some chocolate this evening, so I bought a Lion bar. Which is 14 syns, but since I'd already eaten most of my syns in the mothers day chocolates from my lovely friend on here, I can't really afford the syns on the lion bar. So, i'm just having it anyway. not going to stop the rest of the diet, I've decided as I am typing!

Flexible syns popped into mind. That is what SW calls them if you need to have a big blow out. They say, go for it. DO it, enjoy, and get straight back on with the diet, that way you enjoy what you want to, but don't do terrible dammage by thinking well i've cocked up this week ,so might as well start again next week or in two weeks. its all about shifting your attitude towards the diet... it does work too, see, I started this saying I was stopping the diet for a bit, so I cold have chocolate whilst i'm feeling so down, and have finished it feeling much more positive. OK, so I might not lose much, if at all, but I wont have done too much damage.

Sorry, long long waffle, but worth it for me! thanks for reading on, if you did!

I did. I also had some chocolate biscuits because I funcied tea and tea has to be sweet and with something to go with. So, I had more then I should have and I'm thinking now about another cup. i had soups and I'm tired of all of them. I need something normal. Does anyone else find that they need to use the loo (No1) sooooo often after soups or is it just me? I get up 4 times in the night as well and in a day I use the loo every 20 to 30 minutes. I'm exsosted. I only had a pack of CoventGarden soup for lunch, it's a normal size, not half but still. breakfast - grapes. Had tea with 1 sugar twice, fruit tea without sugar and half of Tesco finest chicken Kiev with crincle cut chips and baked beans for dinner. My weight is ip, then slightly down, it seems to change but I haven't lost anything, just ballancing around the same amount since after Christmas.

I have eaten far too much today but have enjoyed every mouthful. Dinner out tonight was divine Diet starts again tomorrow Knackered now so off to bed, night night all x

my night will start in an hour. Night night to everyone else

Hi everyone.

We are surviving here. Work is good, the pudding seems to be doing ok (currently filling the pushchair with fisher price zoo animals ) and though my thoughts are whizzy and at times pretty negative I seem to be hanging together.

Here begins day 2 of the "two bowls of cereal a day and one main meal" type diet. I am just going to do it in the week and then enjoy myself when DP is here. Plus my nearly two hours up and down hills to take dd to childminders. I will have to stick with the scales on the ward Polly - maybe I should go in before I have my breakfast and weigh myself then!!!

fedda - I think you should prob see your GP about the going all the time thing. There is plenty as can be done to help

susie - lots of non-mumsnet-style hugs. I am so sorry you are in such a rubbish situation. Chocolate is good for the serotonin levels... or at least that's what I tell myself!

katy - I hope the disappears off things with DH soon. You are doing brilliantly with the weight loss.

As is MrsFish

Polly - you sound a bit better - are you? or just more cheerful but not physically any better?

afternoon
mylittlepudding really pleased that life is getting a little better for you.good luck with the cereal diet.let us know how you are getting on with it.

the with dh didn't get any better.we ended up having a slanging match about the physical side of our relationship.he works evenings and i'm in bed when he get's home and he's in bed when i'm up with the dc so he feels neglected and that i don't fancy him anymore.
suffice to say i gave the performance of my life
we just need to make time for each other.
wonder how many bonus points in a good shag?!

your birthday sounded great mrsfish

right i'm off to do my stepper again to offset the yummy food i will be having when i meet susie tomorrow

A good shag is the equivalent of running a marathon my dh tells me
But, hey, I'm sure its good for you physically and emotionally so you just carry on

Susie - sorry to hear you're unhappy. Can you not just have your syns as chocolate rather than anything else?

I'm not having a good day again diet wise. I swear that lack of sleep dissolves all willpower. Ds2 was up almost every 1.5-2hrs for BIG feeds last night. I am knackered!
Just to see it in black and white (and hopefully to stop me eating anymore), I've had;

porridge, coffee
banana, 5 chips
soup, pitta bread
waffle (125cals), 3 digestives(210 cals), coco pops bar(85cals) square crisps (97 cals)

God, what a load of junk! I normally never have food like that in the house. Don't know what happened on my last shopping trip!

jahan that doesn't seem alot of food tbh.if ds2 is feeding more he's using up your calories so no wonder you feel hungry.at least you stopped at 3 biscuits.when i was feeding dd i wouldn't stop until not even the crumbs were left!

i've just done another 30 mins on the stepper.i did 15 mins fast and then changed the resistance and did the last 15 mins slower and harder.my legs are killing.

off to have a yummy prawn salad now with dominoes garlic and herb sauce as a dressing

I have been so incredibly good today

B porridge and honey
L chicken salad
D chicken supreme (homemade with semi skimmed milk and olive oil) with small jacket potato

I think i will treat myself to a hot choc and a gfy bakewell slice.

My weigh in is tomorrow night and I'm really hoping i've lost enough to reach my first stone off!

Dp is out, dd's are in bed, house isn't how i'd like it BUT i'm so tired today and I've got an hour tomrorow afternoon when i can tidy like mad before school run so i'm going to forget about it, its not too bad!

Couldn't drag myself to the XT tonight, really must give myself a kick up the backside.

B = 3 nimble and flora light
L = 3 crumpets and a slim a soup, pear
S = small bowl of leftover mushroom risotto, handful of choc drops
D = sweet chilli pork with veg and new potatoes.
