LARDY LADIES

[Furball]

Another Tuesday! although I won't be reporting hopefully with good news until Thursday night.

Right, also thought that starting a new thread every week for just us 3 was mad so thought we'd just have our own on going thread that makes it easier to look back on - is that OK with everyone?

I might buy some of the bars next week when i do my first weigh in.
I did buy some of the 1 point packs of sweets.
Fimble I often snack while cooking tea. Last night while cooking i sucked on one of my hard sweets that i bought and didn't snack at all.

Been for a long walk with the dog this morning. Must have walked over 3 miles in all so far this morn. 2 more miles to do later doing school run!

Am thinking thin!

Hello peeps, just popping in to say I've stayed the same again this week!
Hello and welcome Fimbles.
Good luck with WW Tortoise, it worked for me last year, lost 22lbs, shame I've put 9 back on, but I'm working on losing it.

Hi Small. You did well to stay the same. Better than a gain.

I will be weighing in Tuesday. Doing OK so far i think. Doing a good 2 miles dog walk everyday with a friend who i am going to WW with. Think it is good that we can help and support each other.

Also have exercised every night since Tuesday. Probably have a break tonight to rest my aching body!

strawberries [tick]

merrangue [tick]

whipped double cream [uuh erh]

oops but very scrummy

otherwise i'm doing ok

Ooh I can feel an eton mess coming on

mmm Eton mess!

Lost 1 and a half lbs when i weighed in Tuesday. Had hoped for more but not a bad start.

A very good start Tortoise how did you find the plan?

Small I found it ok actually but i had some knowledge of how it worked from doing WW years ago.
The thing i struggle with is homemade cakes and meal. Working out points and portion sizes.

Have you thought of a monthly pass Tortoise, not only do you get cheaper weekly classes (it works out as £17.95 per month) so that would be about £4.50 per class, you then get access to their website where you can track what you eat, recipes, points calculator and much more, also I found that this helped me to keep going if I had missed a few weeks, you can get details from your class I think or on the website

Small Yes have been thinking about getting a monthly pass. Just have to wait for a week i have some spare cash!
Summer holidays will be tricky because my friend drives us there at the moment. Can't do that with kids in the summer. Have to look into buses i think.

just bought a pedometer and going to try 10k steps a day

I did walk for the hour that ds was at beavers last night and wondered why i didn't do that everyweek instead of driving all the way home and back to pick him up. shame it's the last one next week.....

i've turned into a lazy lardy lady and it aint helping

Hooray 1lb off this week.

Well done small.

I got a cheap pedometer from argos today. Less that £3 .

Think i am doing ok this week. We shall see on Tuesday.

glad everyone seems to have ironed out any glitches, probably because, gulp, it's half way through JULY - how did that happen?

I'm also doing ok this week and have lost 1 lb.

I'm still waiting for the delivery of my pedometer but have walked lots and yesterday instead of mouching about in the afternoon, ds and I went for a fab walk over the hill next to our village.

lets keep it up.

Missed WW weigh in toda because i was ill last night. Was really looking forward to it too.
Wii fit said i had lost 5lbs! Hope so.

good news = my pedometers turned up

bad news - I have a really awful cold (assuming it's not swine flu) so feel like a pile of old pants

on the bright side! - I'm off my food

Hope you feel better soon Furball and that it isn't swine flu!

My pedometer is working fine so far And seem to do around 15,000 steps a day which is great.

probably more likely to be lazy swine flu

Stayed the same this week. I consider myself lucky as I made and demolished chocolate cake, was given some lovely chocolates for my birthday, which I have eaten nearly half of already, and I think I am going through the change.

Hope you are both feeling better Tortoise and Furball.

Happy Summer holidays

Lost 4lbs over the last 2 weeks. Pleased with that. Although i am sure it would have been a bigger loss if it hadn't been DD2's birthday party Saturday! Not her birthdy until this Saturday so that will be more cake eaten!

I fear that last weeks chocolate & cake has caught up with me this week.

Excellent news Tortoise it's hard work isn't it, but well worth it.

Small Yes it is hard work and I did have a major snack attack last night but back on track this morning!
Will be having no point soup for lunch with bread with out butter!

Will make curried butter nut squash soup tomorrow I think.

Also will try and only eat one piece of DD2's birthday cake at the weekend!!

3lbs on this week. There were a few birthday celebrations, and Miss Piggy here didn't help herself to just one dessert, more like 3 or 4 and each one with double cream.

Best of luck for next week small. Write this one off as a bad week.

I am having a terrible few days. Been pick, pick, pick all day. Although lunch was no point soup.
Need to force myself to get back into the wii fitness coach tonight.
I am sure i won't have lost anything his week.

yoohoo!

not forgotten you, but do seem to have forgotten I'm 'on a diet'

I'm not really snacking, but not really doing anything else either.

I promise to try harder......
