belcantavinissima · 24/03/2008 20:53

LoveMyGirls · 24/03/2008 20:58

Good news about your friends not so good about your H katy, you sound very calm and sure, has he gone for good?

katylessbumpy · 24/03/2008 21:00

lol bel
i know it's abit late but i have been taking califig(syrup of figs) every other day for the last few days and i seem to be developing a regular pattern of toilet trips
i've also been drinking pints of water due to my sore throat.might be an option to get things moving

mrsfish.have you had a good easter weekend?

katylessbumpy · 24/03/2008 21:04

i don't know this time lovemygirls tbh.at the moment i'm just glad he's not here.
he did this a few weeks ago and i took him back on the condition that he sorted himself out.he hasn't and i've had enough.
it's my birthday in a few weeks and he has ruined every social/family occasion and christmas/new year/mothers day etc by being a wanker
he is not ruining my birthday and he doesn't even know about our friends wedding

I'm back on it! I swear i've put weight on this week the first time since i started dp says he will stay in tonight so i can go swimming and I'm going to work really hard!

I really don't want to put weight on!

I've got about 4 weeks to get down to at least 10 and a half stone for a party!

I wonder if i can train my brain to think chocolate tastes like dog pooh? I seriously need something to put me off eating it theres loads of it in the house and it's my weakness along with cakes and biscuits!

LoveMyGirls · 25/03/2008 08:10

katy - you know where we are if you wanna talk, good for you for being strong though!

MrsFish · 25/03/2008 08:15

Hi Katy - my weekend has been good thanks, but not for my diet, I think I will show a slight gain this week too, unless I have a very low day today to try and combat it, so that is my plan I want to be extra good for the rest of this week now as I have a ball to go to on sat night and I want a flatter stomach than I have at the moment... although I do have some very good pull it all in underwear

katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 08:18

thanks lovemygirls x
now put the chocolate in the bin or weigh it and put it in individual pointed portions in bags in the freezer.
that way you know you have a treat if you need it but it's pointed and will take longer to eat
you can do it!
i've got my weigh in tomorrow.had a sneaky peek this morning and my scales show a 4 pound loss to what my weight was at ww 2 weeks ago.i don't know how much out my scales are but it put a smile on my face

OP posts:
katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 08:21

drink water mrsfish,pints and pints.it'll get rid of any bloat
are you wearing a big ball gown?[nosey face]
i'm going shopping for an outfit for my friends wedding after weigh in tomorrow.depending on the result(fingers crossed it's the same as my sneaky peek) will be the decider for a dress or fat pants pmsl

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 25/03/2008 08:24

chocolate is the kids mainly or dps so i cant put it in the freezer. Mil brought us a tin of quality street which is so naughty cus you just put your hand in for one thinking 1 won't hurt then before you know it half the tin has gone (i haven't done this yet i've had 7 in total but I know the risk is there!) might put them in the shed!

katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 08:30

well you can't eat the kids chocolate you big meany
quality street= 1 point each.
put them in the shed,high cupboard wherever.get your oh to hide them lol.just don't bloody eat them.
ok,lecture over sorry.

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 25/03/2008 08:48

I need lectures! I want to be thin!
Worried incase i've put weight on and it's too late to get it off by friday! Guess all i can do is try my best and limit the damage!

katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 08:52

drink water,excercise and stay on track .you've got 4 full days to claw back the weekend.
can you plan your meals so you know what you are eating and don't just grab something?

OP posts:
MrsFish · 25/03/2008 09:32

I have put a 2 litre bottle of water in the fridge, my aim is to drink it all today

LoveMyGirls · 25/03/2008 11:40

I've made up four tubs of salad and another tub full of grated carrot and fruit and another one with pear and lemon (yumm) so i'll be mostly eating salad!

katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 17:00

i've stripped and remade the beds and cleared out the garage.how may bps do you reckon?

b branflakes
l bns chips and chicken breast

OP posts:
Mine · 25/03/2008 17:38

6 pints of water??!!
Wow... how do you manage so much water.. i can;t even get the the bottom of 1 glass!!

Another 1/2 lb lost this week.... if i keep up this rate of weight loss, i'll never make it to 9st by mid June.....

have to be uber good this week to go for 2lbs!!

katylessbumpy · 25/03/2008 18:16

i've now had 8 pints.
i used to fill a litre bottle drink that but now find it easier when i'm at home to fill a pint pot up everytime i'm in the kitchen and drink it while i'm pottering.saves me from picking to
if i'm out i don't tend to drink as much as i'm always having to find a loo

OP posts:
belcantavinissima · 25/03/2008 19:23

been better today- couldnt have been worse than last week tho lol!

b-muesli and skim milk
l-3 ryvita with onion chutney and extra light philapdelphia, carrots and hummous
d-salmon (cooked with anchovies, cherry tomatoes, green beans and olives and lime juice) with couscous. (its really really delicious and only about 4 or 5 points!
s-apple, grapes oh and if i'm totally honest a few bits of choc

but i went to the gynm this morning so i reckon that cancelled out the choc

LoveMyGirls · 25/03/2008 21:32

I've been swimming!

B-porridge and honey
L-ham salad
S-banana and apple
Djacket pot with light philli, beans and salad

think i'll have a ww bar before bed though.

Taken the 5 dc's i had today to town then to a park then to a museum to do craft then to another park then back here for tea!

Got 6 dc's tomorrow and another full day planned!!

susiecutiemincepies · 25/03/2008 21:50

hello lovely girls

I'm SO off the wagon, someone please send it back round my way!!!

I'm so ashamed of myself, I was doing really really well, for all of, 2 weeks. just eaten Isobels weight in chocolate I think, and I didn't even enjoy it really. Feel sick. Feel so low and such low self esteem. Nothing to do with Mr Cutie either, and boy is he a Cutie

Just had a lovely few days together. he made such a huge effort to get here this weekend. I appreciated it so much. He could have just slept and caught up on sleep for 2 days, but he drove 7 hours to be here. Went back at half 1 last night, and drove all the way back up to Sunderland, and went straight to work. He had 2 hours sleep this arvo and is back at work again. I feel really bad in a way. but also just so pleased he finally put US first, and totally sacrificed himself. maybe he's finally listened to me... We had a delicious few days and nights together, really found something again... shame I feel so ashamed of my body, in such a big way.

Got to find the motivation again, to get back on the SW plan. its not even as though I don't like the food I can eat on it, I really do. Just been laid low with a virus which has utterly zapped my energy, so not felt like cooking anything at all. Please give me a boot up the bottom and MAKE me motivated

hope you are all ok, I'm so sorry about the me me me post... not looked back over thread at all, so not sure what you're all up to. Hope you are all getting smaller, and are happy too... take care

xx

katylessbumpy · 26/03/2008 07:07
