morning all

I've had a horrible night. Up myself 4 or 5 times. Then Izzy was up twice... she woke up at 5am, wide awake, raring to go... I'd only fallen asleep properly at sometime after 4 am... suitcases under eyes!

everytime I blink, i feel like the blinks are getting longer,ad i'm falling asleep mid blink! I've a feeling she will be back in bed for a nap before 10, and i'll be following!

Breaky: multigrain boulders with milk 30gm - SO nice btw!

Didn't end up having diner last night. Was so tired. I planned to go to bed after Izzy, then couldn't so ended up no here somewhere. Mr C being horrible again. Well, he's having a bad week and taking it out on me. I'm not sure he's earned enough points back to allow for it

Sounds like you both have great incentives to lose moire weight. I had a great one too, but still haven't. I don't know whats wrong with me!

i've never had problems loosing weight by just cutting down, let alone on a diet! I've always just done them, lost weight and kept it off until the next bout of hip pain or operation. Once I decide i'm doing it, I just do, and it comes off no problems. I just can't keep motivated to do it, despite feeling horrible about myself, which is a great motivator, I also know my pain will possible improve too, if I lose some. Frustrated with myself

What shall I have for lunch girls?

LoveMyGirls · 17/04/2008 07:57

Hey susie,

Sorry you had a rubbish night and your H is being horrible again just because he's having a hard time isn't an excuse to take it out on you, it's not as it you're having a great time of it either!

I know what you mean about feeling horrible about yourself, I was like that for about a year at least, i'd had dd2 lost nearly 2 stone then I lost the will to diet while i stayed the same I just didn't bother but then over christmas i put another half a stone on I could feel it creeping up on me again and I didnt want to be back where I started so I decided to join WW and get the weight off! I think feeling miserable about your weight will eventually kick you into action. I used to feel guilty any time I had anything nice and I just thought sod this I want to be comfortable and be able to have the odd treat without feeling like everyone is judging me and worst of all me judging myself and beating myself up over it so i'm going to really give it everything for the next few months and get it over with! (it's been 12 weeks this week and I think another 6 weeks and I can stop, well maintain but I'll be able to have a biscuit or a cake without feeling guilty!)

I'm so chuffed I have made the effort and lost nearly all the weight, i'm back to pre pg weight now (not not quite in my pre pg clothes, tried my size 12 jeans on last night and I think another few weeks of exercise and being good and I'll be able to get in them!)

Only you can do this though and to be fair you are having a hard time at the moment it's not suprising you don't have the energy to do this right now. You have a small child, you're not well, lack of sleep, dh being an arse etc hardly a good time to deprive yourself of anything is it? I'm not saying it can't be done but your circumstances do make it harder for you.

(((((((((((susie))))))))))

For lunch.........Crackerbread with tuna (mixed with light mayo) and salad and low fat yogurt and fruit.

fatkatyslim · 17/04/2008 08:15

What's happened in hollyoaks?

I went to meet a friend for coffee in starbucks, I was doing well with a black coffee and tuna salad sarnie and bottle of water, then she went and bought me a muffin, she did point out it was a 'skinny' one, so I had to eat it really anyway it will be soup for me tonight to make up for it

b - 2oz cornflakes, hot water and sugar
l - see above
d - bowl of veg soup (homemade) small slice of dh's pizza
s a bit of ds1's easter egg.

20 mins on the cross trainer at 6.30am.
Saw the physio today and he has given me the all clear to carry on training which is great

fatkatyslim · 17/04/2008 21:54

great news on your training lisa
your menu sounds great today.even with the muffin it is still really balanced.
i haven't eaten since my lunch.i wasn't too naughty and haven't had any more wine since i came home.i also walked 5 miles again today.

Hey,

LLL - cross trainer at 6.30am now that is dedication!

I've got my weigh in today, I've been pretty good this week i've been naughty a couple of times this week in total i've had 3 biscuits, 2 sq's choc and a couple of glasses of archers and lemonade.

I have also been swimming twice (45 laps in total) and areobics

Tbh I don't mind how much i've lost this week as long as I do lose something.

fatkatyslim · 18/04/2008 07:33

morning lovemygirls.thats not exactly naughty,you'll have burned off those treats with your excercise,
good luck with your weigh in

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 18/04/2008 08:09

Thanks katy, I think if I can lose 2lbs i'll be chuffed because then i'll only have 2 and a half to lose to get to 10 stone which would be fab, I said I wanted to be 10.7 by tomorrow and i'm closer to 10 so should hopefully achieve my goal weight by 23rd may.

I'm feeling really great, and yesterday the ring dp brought me for my 21st (which was in a draw from when I had to take it off during pg'y) actually fits me now which I'm really pleased about!

I'm concentrating more on the exercise and toning now, i'm still avoiding biscuits etc but i'm thinking about being a bit more leaniant with meal times, what do you think? Or shall I just carry on as I have been until i get to goal?

fatkatyslim · 18/04/2008 08:21

i've been a bit more leanient at mealtimes so my weightloss has slowed down but i'm hoping that that will help me when i come to maintaining.
i don't go overboard but have increased my portions slightly but im walking more.
not even thinking about it today.
i'm going to eat,drink and be merry

fantastic that your ring fits.it's mad where you lose weight from isn't it??? have your feet shrunk yet?

OP posts:
LoveMyGirls · 18/04/2008 08:24

Dp says my feet have shrunk but I did have really bad swollen feet during pg plus put 4 stone on!

Really not sure if I should have my ingrowing toenail op or not, anyone ever known anyone who has had them due to being overweight, then lost loads of weight? I don't want to cancel incase they are still there but i'm not in pain at the moment, don't want to be in pain if no reason. Hummmm.........

fatkatyslim · 18/04/2008 08:26

sorry,haven't got a clue about toes.
