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?

Thanks HB and FB I am going to try harder and try to report in each evening. Can't eat much tonight. i had 3 fillings done today and mouth is quite sore. I will get some carrots and a cucumber and maybe keep a bowl on the desk in the eve. Will look into dips too. Don't think i like humous. Is low fat philidelphia stuff ok?
I love raw cauliflower too.

I think philidelphia do extra low fat stuff now - so thats even better! Don't forget raw peppers to dip as well. Glad you seem more happier and in control tortoise

oops - forgot to say sorry to hear about your fillings tortoise [ouch]

Ooooh peppers is a good idea. Will look for philly too. No money till thursday so i will get some bits then.
Thanks for helping.

Hi tortoise it's lovely to hear from you again. There is some great advice on here from both HB and FB, it is so true that "the only thing that will help you lose weight is YOU."

Having said that... I was so disappointed at my weigh in this week, I could have cried. I had put on 1.5 lbs. However when I weighed myself the next morning I could see why. Over the last couple of weeks I have been exercising more and drinking more water, as well as eating more fruit. As a result of this I have increased the muscle and water content of my body and decreased fat content by nearly 1%. In other words a leaner, meaner but heavier me.

Oh by the way thank you Furball for the 'Raceforlife' link. Forgive my technology ignorance, what is a podcast?

smalline - it is a recording that you can put on your mp3 player or ipod. You can get mp3 players in cheapo places like argos for £5 or £6. They are like a little tiny teeny hardrive that you can download songs and stuff onto. The modern walkman really

Thanks Furball, I thought it might be something to do with that but wasn't sure. We bought our DS a little mp3 player for christmas, a Zen Stone 2GB, he was so excited when he opened it on Christmas day, we later found that it was not compatible with the version of software on our pc. I can charge it up on the pc but not download. Luckily it came with some music on it DS is quite happy that the phew!

I also have a zen stone, used for the podcast only and have never tried putting other music on there.

another 1 lb off tonight {grin] got my 1 and 1/2 stone award and I got my 'club 10' award which is because I have now lost 10% of my original weight all in 12 weeks - bloody miracle!

Congratulations, Furball I'm so pleased for you! You can keep going now, even if the weight loss gets slower - we all know that the combination of eating less and exercising more is the only surefire way of weighing less and being a tidier shape. If you can do it then the rest of us surely can too, this is so encouraging! Well done.

HB - I eat like a horse! that's what's so great about slimming world, you can eat yourself silly - it's what you eat that counts!

I can honestly say I have never been hungry on this diet, that is why it's so good, cos when you're hungry, you go looking for stuff. If I get a case of the nibbles I hit the fruit bowl first.

Excellent news Furball you are an inspiration to us all. Am I a little bit jealous, yes I am.

WOW Well done FB.

I weighed myself this morning. Am 12st 6lbs.
Just eating carrots sticks and phily now. Trying to ignore lemon drizzle cake in the kitchen!
I tried looking at slimming world website but i think i need to look when less tired so it all sinks in! No sessions near to me unfortunatly but i did find a recipe book in the charity shop so hope to get some inspiration from there.

Also some shorts i bought last year don't fit now and they were a perfect fit.

After last weeks disappointing weigh in, I decided to give it my all this week. Well I'm very pleased to announce a 5 lb loss this week, taking me to a total of 1 stone 1 lb
YIPPEE

blooming heck smalline - well done!

Furball, Smalline and Tortoise you are all inspiring and I'm sorry I haven't lived up to your examples this week! I had two punnets of strawberries left over after a party and not enough people to eat them (dd2 is allergic in a big way and I come out in spots if they aren't cooked) so I turned them into a pot of jam which we all ate in quantity on home made bread all week. Hence I weigh a pound more . As the pot is now empty I should do better this week....

lol @ inspiring HB! I am far from that! Too much LDC this week. (Yummy!)

I want to attempt a pilates video tonight. Bought in charity shop yonks ago.

Tortoise shut your eyes - everyone else read this quick 1 lb on only myself to blaim. Just getting complacent with meals really nothing I can really put my finger on but amd bored with my food, just need to have a shake up of the old menus. am away this weekend with girlies and off to silverstone next thursday and can't weigh so have 2 weeks to recover from this.

I off to write 100 lines - I must try harder

12st 9 this week.

tortoise - oh no! anything we can help with? more ideas maybe for 'the munchies'? quick meal ideas?

I have just spent the weekend away with girlies and sort of kept on track ish did succumb to strawberries with sugar and massive dollop of fresh double cream, a huge bag of nibbles, a naughty pudding (1st pudding in 3 months) and a bar of chocolate though. oops... but did get up early (6.30 - I'm an early riser) both mornings and go for a 5k run whilst the others stayed in bed til 10am.

will jump straight back on today though, the sun is shining and so is good for salads and light food

FB Not sure tbh. Am fed up with it all. I just need to try harder. Dinners are the hardest meal i think. Not a very good cook! And finding time to exercise is hard too. By the evening i just want to sit down!
I am going to make soup tomorrow when i have money for veggies! Will have stinky wind by the evening though!

Have eaten ok today. Trying not to pick now. Had spicy cous cous for tea. And just ate a rocket ice lolly and 2 satsumas.

Picked another lolly instead of crisps. Think that is ok!
I put pilates video on but it doesn't work right . Need to buy one when i can. I hope it will be better than the energetic ones i have.

well done tortoise! It is just a case of picking something else rather than something 'naughty' you don't need to deprive yourself from eating it is just being aware what choice you make whilst rumaging in the cupboard.

Am cooking carrot, leek and onion soup for lunch.
Breakfast is hard too. Had toast with choc spread this morn! Ran out of jam. I always have too much butter on it though. I have found i don't feel bloated since not having milk in the mornings.
