Anyone else out there with 5 plus stones to lose? Who fancies doing a weekly weigh in with me?

[sandramaryb]

I have got really overweight in the last couple of years and would love to meet some others who might be trying to cut down but not exactly dieting. Where do you start when there is so much to lose? Any tips on evening snacking? TIA

yipeee last nite was the first nite i didnt drink yipe and i ate well yesterday no carbs - thank blody god!

Hi All, hope everyones had a good/nice day??

well the martini went out the window or rather down the sink as i had an argument with dp as soon as i got down stairs so chicked it away and went to bed!

So today, weve been swimming but in the rush i didnt have breakfast so when we got back i had a banana as we were going straight back out

we went to dalton park shopping today and instead of the big fat hodogs/pork sandwhiches or amccys dees i went to spud u like and got jacket with s/salad and chilli..i was getting full half way through it but i KNEW dd would want to go to cookie shop further down before we went home, so i finished it all off(not good really as i really sufferd-was too much)to ensure i wouldnt want ANYTHING else and it worked..dp gt one and dd did too, both were saying do you want some, go on mummy share it with me..but i really didnt want any..
then abck home dp went to shop and came back with my fave crisps(for himself) and asked if i wante to share them (scampi and lemon things)..i said NO..so he and dd ate them, even though my mouth WAS watering for these (dont know if he's 'testing' me or what???, but ive not takent he bait, maybe he's dying to say, see i knew you'd lapse??..dont know really, id hope he wasnt 'that' malicious!....
So comes to dinner time, everythings packed into boxes in breakfast room, so i thought cheese and beans on toast will do...but dp had had his dinner and dd didnt want beans, have no were to store them so thought oh ill just eat the full tin, i always used too....WHy didnt i just chuck them out! with myself, id already got too full at lunch and now i actually feel in pain from eating the full tin...am dissapointed in myself now, i needent have overeaten, i OCULD have just chucked them but i just didnt think, all i thought was there will be no were to store them, so i piled them on..feel awful(physically) now!

but on the plus side...i walked past a mirror today and glanced around as you do..and looked twice cos i thought bloody hell!!!..i could really tell id lost some weight, my belly and boobs normally look like one round lump in front of me, but i actually had shape, my jeans kept falling down all day too, so will give it few more weeks and hopefully lsoe more and go buy a few bits, not too much as i want more off!

Well done on your will power today Pink. Especially for cookies - now that would have been mega hard for me!

Oh and there's nothing wrong with having a whole tin of beans y'know lol.

Ta chick, oh and i know beans are hardly a tin of treacle, but i really feel like im going to burst, its quite painful(and im full of wind)..ive just got used to eating less adn now if i overeat(or eat as i used too) it kills me...dya think she maybe fitted one of those gastric bands while i wasnt looking...off to watch bb now, still ahvent emptied last cupboard in kitchen..im sooo lazy!

Night all.x

Oh i know what you mean about bloatedness etc. Jacket spuds do that to me if i eat the skins (not worth having a jacket spud if you're not going to eat the skin coz that's the best part!!) and also if i eat too much pasta. Try some peppermint tea if you have it. That's meant to help with digestion. Failing that, as a last resort, try a Wrigleys Extra blue chewing gum lol.

Have a good sleep!

yknow i dont know if its just me, but im on my last carton of slimthru and it has made me not eat like a horse! although i have been drinking more water than normal - i will know tomorrow when i have the big weigh in which will be bad as ive been on a carb weekend!

fingers crossed jaz.

My GP suggested thyroid tests first off, though she said it would probably be clear. I don't know what the plan of action will be after that. I maybe chose to see the wrong GP as both her and her DH are very large people and seem comfortable with it. Anyway for the first time in known history I had the test within half an hour of seeing the GP so just have to wait fot the results...

why are uhaving thyroid tests my dear>

hi everyone

Had my weigh in today and the lady said i'd lost 2lbs, which meant i had reached a loss of one stone! So i was well chuffed about that! Then when i got home i looked at my WW card and i'd gone from xx.10 to xx.9 which means that i've lost 1lb not bloody 2!! I'm so cross because i feel like a fraud now, especially as the group gave me a clap for getting another seven whereas in reality i haven't actually got there yet!! So annoying!! I wouldn't mind but it's only a bloody pound, so the maths isn't hard to figure out, surely?!!

Anyway, i've adjusted the list with my real weight on it.

Ags -4 lbs -62 lbs
BananaKnickers -4.5lbs -4.5lbs
Chewing20times -5lbs -21lbs
Kelas -5lbs -31.5lbs

Hi Everyone[smile

Rg, i felt really sick going to bed last night but at least i do know my limits now!.... for you at weigh in, how frustrating, like you say its 1lb not like she didnt ahve enough fingers to count it on!, would be annoyed too getting you all excited only to finf she was wrong..you still ahve done very very well though, so dont let it deter you

Jaz, what is slimthru is it like slimfast?

JustRia, when will you get your results back?, hoe its something they can put their finger on and help sort for you!?

Well you'll be amaised to hear that i forgot to get weighed this morn!!1...had the builder coming to rip out the kitchen OMG house from hell!...we could have blown up at any time as we have had constant gas leak since we moved in-previous owners had leak too as there was a pipe not capped!, no wonder our bloody gas bills are so high!, wasnt carbon monoxide, and was venting out of the hole in wall which the previous owners used their dryer through and we didnt need!!!, thing is everytime we have friends over and they smoke, they go and stand on back step...RIGHT next to were the leak was coming from!!!! and i frequently have candles lit in there> then when all units off and tiles out, all my electrics were running diaganoly across walls (should always go down or up in straight line(?)with odd sockets here and there cutting into a cable that wasnt ringed and no way could have/should have held it all!!FFS!..thank god for the flood!..on the plus side, when they tore down my old wonky cieling above it was the most wonderful sloped roof..so we are now having a fab vaulted ceiling instead of the low consuming artexed thing that was already there, complete with 1980's striplight..also sporting several dead fly's as we couldnt get inside to clean out(so how did 'they' get in there????)

so anyway, all i have re brick walls and concrete floor!, lady didnt come back for our old kitchen units and when she rang at 11.15(she was due at 9.30) and said she was going to have to let me down, i said that id guessed that as its now gone 11 and she was due at 9.30(i wouldnt normally say anything, but i felt irked)..she then burst intot tears having not heard what i said and said her mum had died last night..how much of a bitch did i feel..poor woman.....

well anyway, thats my day from hell...on the plus side...although having just eaten dinner, ive just been weighed tonight and ive lsot 4lb according to mine(nurses show me 1lb lighter, but i can only get weighed there every 2 weeks, so wills tick to mine this week!)....am now 15st 9lb..id lvoe to get another 2lb off for next weigh in to show 15 1/2 st

well, if you ahvent all fallena sleep reading my long story, i coomend you..off to get bath and get all this dust out of my hair/body/clothes..(how much do you think dust weighs..maybe 2-3lb??.might get weighed again when i get out of bathLOL

bloody hell pink, that's well scary. You just don't know what there is under the walls do you. Well done on the loss though.

That's a bit pants about your weigh-in RG, but it's still 1b. Well done.

jaz, I told the GP about my frustration with trying to lose, and that I'm so tired all the time so she suggested the tests. No mention of implanon side effects or anything else. I hope the results will be back by the end of the week, but it's maybe too much to hope for. I have had my share of NHS luck today as I had a dentist appt this afternoon just for check up, but the hygienist had a cancellation and was able to do my scale and polish today instead of two weeks time.

Blimey Pink!! Talk about nightmare!! how scarey! You should apply to DIY SOS now! Good news about the weight loss tho, very inspiring!

It IS a bugger about the weigh in but there's no way i'm letting it deter me! My leader more or less recommends that everyone has a treat day on weigh day (after weigh in, of course!) and i was really tempted to get a bottle wine and a crunchie all for myself tonight (DP is working away). He suggested that i just have a couple of glasses tonight and a couple more tomorrow, so i had to point out to him that an open bottle of wine in my fridge is an empty bottle of wine lol. Even on my own i'd drink the lot!!

well done on the weight loss ladies, pink - good job you found about the dodgy carbon monoxide before it did you any harm!

had a bad weekend eating wise - stressed out so ate too much cake.

LOL Rg, you should see it now!...it looks like something out of diy sos, ill try and oput some pics on later..

TC it wasnt carbon monoxied fortunatly, (thats when the gas cant burned properly and mixes with dirt and oxygen) this was pure gas...so couldnt have#gassed us' as such, but could have blown the house up!...no mindees after school run so will be abck soon..have to sit in again so you lot will have to keep me entertained)

so you could have gone up with a bang, a la Eastenders last week?!

At least you've found out now, rather than later when it could in fact be too late!!

well done on the weight loss ladies! enjoy your day tday! TC please dont worry we are all here for you!
RGPARGY the drinking - i cant just have one glass i have to have 12 but still breastfeeding so its a no!

Jaz - you can still drink whilst BF! TikTok posted an article link about how the alcohol doesn't filter through to the breast milk (unless you go on a serious bender and even then it would only make the baby a little drowsy), but there's a possibility of the taste filtering through. So that means there is no need to pump and dump either! Hooray!

oops sorry forgot to do this last night

Well done Ags!! Brilliant loss!!

I didn't have my treat day yesterday (as it was weigh in day) so i've decided that i need a treat day today instead. One day late, but never mind. I've got a nice bottle of rose chilling in the fridge, along with a bag of cheese and onion crisps and a Cadbury's Twister thing (the creme egg thing). Yummy!!

Fantastic Ags well done

Today has been hard for me food wise as we are living on basic rations with no where to prepare(i really underestimated the space and amount of dust flying around..still that should be the dust over now, plastering is getting done tomorrow)

So for brekkie i had a banana

lunch i had one of those chicago town thin mini(individual) pizzas(cheese and tom0 with box of micro chips(but bloody hell that junk food tasted lovely)

Then tea was a cheese and ham salad sandwhich from bakers(dp brought this in to save me flapping over what i could actually cook without it being coverd in brick dust!)

am so not focused at minute with all the stuff going on and going wrong in kitchen..i have really fancied choc(or rather my stressy side of my brain did, not sure id thank you for it!) plus i havent had my hi lights since sat night which was my fix..think ill se if kettle is salvagable tonight

well done Ags you go girl!

Oh my gawd Rgpargy id love to have waht your having, you must tell me what the cadburys egg tasted like!

well i got weighed tday and i lost a pound and half.

Im wondering if it has anything to do with that slimthru??

although i have been eating salads for the last few days!!

Jaz - is it time to nag you for eating too little too??

Try and vary your diet a bit too as you can sometimes stall if you're eating the same thing day in day out.

Still haven't had my creme egg bar yet. Will savour it later!

I'm really enjoying the wine tho!

rgpargy i dont eat to little i can assure you hunni - tday ive just had yoghurt and and lunch i will be having home made soup that i made - now ive have lost a pound and a half i feel like im making some progress - not a lot but its a start!!

well done ladies!

after a bad weekend, back to square one, back u to 14.4. but got to start up again, as the alternative (piling on even more weight) just doesn't appeal.
