I'm thinking of switching to green tea, anyone else tried this?

Have a fab time Katy!

How's everyone doing?

I slipped up a couple of times yesterday again but I also went swimming and did 20 laps so it will even out I think

I went shopping in ALDI yesterday and am pleasantly suprised at how much I brought compared to how much I can buy in asda, my friend said the fruit and veg lasts all week as well, at asda I can usually only buy the basics and I spend £80 per week, yesterday in ALDI I spent £70 and brought lots of nice treats for eveyone so I'm really chuffed! (do need to nip to a different shop to get extra light philli and green tea though)

Not really sure what we're doing today, having a bit of a lazy one this morning by the looks of it, I've not long got up (dp brought me breakfast in bed, bless him) now he's gone back to bed and I'm on here wile dd's are doing painting (dd2 is body painting by the looks of her ) might play on the wii later and nip out to the shop, also need to clean my car out and get the house sorted, feel like we should be doing something fun but we're broke and we did take dc's to soft play on sat and swimming yesterday.

Morning, yesterday I was good all day! I'm really hoping I can get to 10st or under this friday, it is getting harder now though! Really want to lose another 8lbs, I wanted to do it before we went away but thats only 18 days away now! (I'm still very pleased with how i've done so far though)

What have you all been up to?

LisaLessLumpy · 06/05/2008 07:39

I had a good day yesterday too, not sure if any loss will show up tomorrow as I have had AF since saturday but hopefully it will be bigger next week

LoveMyGirls · 06/05/2008 07:44

How are you doing overall LLL? Whats your goal?

LisaLessLumpy · 06/05/2008 12:03

One more pound and I will have lost a stone and a half since Jan 1st. My goal is to lose 7 more pound by the 14th June and a further 7lb by the end of August

pollywobbledoodle · 06/05/2008 12:42

hello all,
that katy has done alright with the weather!

been in sheffield for the weekend...not good/bad foodwise....it's hard when someone else is doing the food...just had smaller portions than usual and said no to extras

went to a highland fling festival up there....good fun...lotsof kilts but no glimpses of what lies beneath

aiming for 11 5 which just takes me into the normal bmi range....it takes as long as it takes!

ps another over 40 here!

Mine · 06/05/2008 13:38

i've gained a lb.
Am fed up now, lost interest in dieting, but still want to continue.
think it may be the contraceptive i am on as before i was taking it weightloss was slow but steady. Since taing this pill i have only lost 6lb in 3 months whilst being militant with my points!
Fed up but still trying....

LoveMyGirls · 06/05/2008 14:10

Mine can you up your exercise as well as sticking to your points?

Eat less do more has got to win in the end! In the meantime can you see your gp and change your pill?

Mine · 06/05/2008 16:43

i'm walking abt 3-4 miles a day so now the weather is better i'm going to do more.
maybe if i don;t obsess about it any more it may help.

Anyway... think positive eh!

xxxxx

LisaLessLumpy · 07/05/2008 09:09

I have stayed the same, hopefully it will show up next week as I have been good all week, I can only think that AF has mucked it up this time. Another glorious day today, off out soon to get some summer clothes for the boys

LisaLessLumpy · 07/05/2008 09:12

At least its 6 pound less mine, but I know what you mean it would be pissing me off by now if you have been as good as you say. You have obviously reached a plateau, you either need to drop your points or up your exercise... I would also try and change your pill, or have you tried the coil? I used to struggle to lose weight on the pill but since I have had the mirena coil since Ben was born it has been slow and steady.

Mine · 07/05/2008 11:16

having copper coil fitted tomorrow. Hopefully that will make a difference.

Staying the same i better than gaining LLL.
Enjoy the sun. We;re off fo a picnic in the park.
Lovin the sun at the mo

LoveMyGirls · 08/05/2008 08:27

You feeling ok mine?
I couldn't go to areobics last night but have booked in for aquafit tonight! I'm 9.13 on the scales this morning fingers crossed I can be at least 10 st at weigh in tomorrow! I really wanted to be at my goal by 23rd may but theres no way i can lose 7lbs in the next 2 weeks i can't go to weigh in's after the 16th may until 13th june either! (got 3 fridays in a row when we'll be away)

Mine · 08/05/2008 08:52

LMG thats brilliant!! You can do 7lb if you're REALLY good, but if not you're really close so don;t fret. You'll look amazing for your holiday.
I'm ok thanks for asking.
Just fed up with it all. You know what its like when you try so hard but get nowhere.
I;m hoping the coil will make a difference but it won;t show for a few weeks until the hormones from the pill come out of my system.
Off to the FPC soon.... i hate anything to do with messing with my ladies bits . What a prude i am!!!!

Whats everyone got planned for today???

LoveMyGirls · 08/05/2008 11:59

You back yet mine? I had a mirena fitted a couple of years ago and its not nice but needs must!

In a way I can't quite believe i'm only half a STONE AWAY FROM MY GOAL and I'm now half a stone lighter than what I was before i got pg with dd2 (i can remember before i got pg thinking I was quite slim) now I'm not far off but still got a podge where my tummy should be nearly there! Will have to try really hard not to pile any weight on in the few weeks i'm not getting weighed! (think i'll see about getting weighed on a different day for a few weeks.)
I'm feeling so much fitter and healthier I've been full of beans this morning running around with all the dc's at toddler group plus it really gives you a boost when people are still congratulating me on losing the weight and looking fab

I've got 3 under 3 all day today (they're just having lunch then they'll be going for a nap all being well ) then aquafit later.

Mine · 08/05/2008 14:11

you can do it LMG!!
With all those toddlers, no wonder you're fit!

I had the copper coil fitted this morning, so far only period type pains but DR said there is no weight gain so thats great.

LoveMyGirls · 08/05/2008 14:16

Fab news mine (btw don't want to put you off because I'm sure it's a low risk but my mum got pg on the coil its was during the 70's though so maybe they are a bit better these days)

All 3 dc are still asleep (have been since about 12.30) The place is very clean and tidy, i've had my lunch and I emptied my car - was full of coats/ jackets etc so feeling organised now! (just need to sort out the fact i've knackered my washing machine by using it to wash cuddly toys! Whoops!

I've been in a bit of a mood the past couple of days I think it's pmt though, I'm happier now I think I know what is the matter, everything felt like the end of the world! I'm in a much better mood now!

LoveMyGirls · 08/05/2008 14:20

I think you're doing well walking 3-4 miles per day btw, my dp will often say why don't you walk to school today and I'll remind him again that it's a long way with a double buggy and a 2 year old who doesn't want to walk an hour round trip! Which is why I have to use my evenings to fit in exercise like swimming, areobics otherwise I'd never do anything! Running around after the dc's is exercise but not the type that really gets your heart racing so no good relying on just that which is what I keep saying to my sister when she moans about not losing weight so I say she needs exercise and she'll say I'm on my feet all day and I don't have time......(she doesn't yet have her own children)

pollywobbledoodle · 09/05/2008 10:57

morning all.
you seem to be doing really well LMG and mine......have a Ra!Ra!Ra! on me

another 1 lb gone this week, not bad considering AF is here....well away from my goal....bur getting closer!

fatkatyslim · 09/05/2008 12:06

Glad you had a good time katy

Well done Polly

LoveMyGirls · 09/05/2008 14:52

Hi ladies..........

Thanks Polly (feeling doubtful about weightloss this week and not for want of trying!) I think it's just slowing down now, have told dp I need to be out doing exercise everyday again for the next couple of weeks, the wii fit is great but I don't push myself hard enough so better if i'm out of the house exercising.

I've walked to school and back today with 3 under 3, was thinking about walking again this afternoon but can't be bothered if i thought it would help me towards losing 1lb this week i might but i think i'm due AF anyway so unlikely to have lost anything!

LoveMyGirls · 09/05/2008 14:53

Well done katy and polly!
