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?

tortoise - try just putting the spread on your toast without butter - you really can't tell and save yourself loads of fat intake!

Tortoise, Furball is right about the butter, you can do without it. I had to change to dairyfree spread and I have only a smear of that, whereas I used to have toast just as an excuse for butter. After a while if you eat lots of butter again it tastes pretty revoltingly greasy, and I never thought I'd say that because I loved it. I eat muesli with soyamilk in the morning and that keeps me going easily until lunchtime, whereas toast with butter and cheese (!!) used to leave me looking for snacks by 11.00.

No change for me this week but luckily I'm too busy to stay long in the kitchen just now!

Good luck everyone, we can all do as well as Furball if we try. Smalline, how are you doing, leaner and meaner?

not weighing this week as been at silverstone all day so booked a holiday with sw as didn't know what time we would be back.

need to really pull my socks up if the scales are to be kind to me next week. I'm going to try my best!

I've changed my weigh-in day to thursday as it is more convenient for me. I'm going to try really hard this week, the kids will start their summer holidays soon, that's the time when things start going down hill for me weight wise.

Oh almost forgot, no change this week.

Have a great weekend girls.

I will weigh in either tomorrow or Sunday. I have been a bit better than last week but not expecting to have lost anything. As long as i haven't gained!

Completly forgot to post here Saturday and i had good news!
Weighed 12st 4 and 3/4! Very happy with that. Hope i can stay there or lose again this week.

fab tortoise, well done!

Well done Tortoise, that's really encouraging! Can't say the same for me but at least I haven't put any on. I seem to have stuck at this weight for weeks and as my favourite jeans fit I seem to have lost the incentive to go any further. They'd still fit if I weighed half a stone less though, and other things would look better too. How do I keep my hands off the bread and strawberry jam?

stayed the same - not quite sure how? as I was under the impression I'd put on minium of 5 lbs

have got a food diary and am going to plan every meal and stick to it religously.

Furball, you did well - more than I can say for me, I'm afraid. I put on another pound and I really didn't think I'd eaten that much. I will have to make much more effort. I still look a tidier shape than I did when I started though, because I do much more exercise, so that's something.

Good luck everyone and eat strawberries, but without the cream!

1/2 lb off - still not back to where I was I had been the same weight for four weeks - not good. feel more focused again today.

HB we've got to keep at it - lets give it a 'really good week' to prove that we can actually do it and see the results next week. yes?

I'm up for that Furball & HB. So much for me changing my weigh in to thursday, haven't been able to make it the last 2 weeks for one reason or another, which is not good, can feel myself slipping back into my old ways.

At least you lost something Furball.

nice to see you again smalline. we cannot let it things slip. we've all done soooo well and summer is nearly here

Is it Furball?, I thought we had our summer a couple of weeks back.

My next target is only 5lbs away, I will have lost 10% of my body weight.

OK, Furball and Smalline, you're right, let's really make an effort. Thank you! I need a push from you to get on with it!

I have come to the reluctant conclusion that I am going to have to think about this every day - having lost 9 or 10 lb in the first place I am now putting it back on again in a sneaky sort of way, and I really don't like it. I look MUCH better because I exercise every day and so it doesn't look as though I'm heavier, but I am. I did lots of cooking today but it wasn't lots of sweet stuff and I did get a good bike ride so I feel quite well exercised. OK. Virtue for a week and we'll see where it gets us....

Well, it's a good start, because I'm back down a pound. Good luck everyone and we'll make that real effort. Tortoise, how are you doing?

Yes that is a good start Heavybee well done. I've stayed the same this week, I'm happy with that, I've a feeling that if I had been weighed last week, it would have reported a weight gain.

Anyway ladies it's my birthday today so I'm off for a large glass of wine. I resisted Tesco's chocolate party cake earlier. Cheers! How did you get on Furball?

2 lb off lets keep it up! - thats with a meal out too! although it was a curry and I kept to slimming world rules and chose wisely (veg jalfrezi, boiled rice, side order of bombay pots) I also had 1 1/2 poppadoms and all the sauces - luckily I was driving so just had water to drink.

I'm happy with that, not much effort and didn't feel the need for naughty stuff, went to MIL for tea the other night and she had a table of 8 puddings/cakes - for us 3 and them 2 ds had 5 - I chose something not on the table and raided 7 or 8 strawberries from the fridge.

I keep forgetting to weigh myself. Scales are upstairs and i have given up my room to DS2 so i hardly go up there now. I have a Futon.

I will have lost this week. Had 2 gall stones attacks Saturday plus pain most of sunday so i have hardly eaten for fear of another painful attack. I am really hungry.

tortoise - it's good you keep forgetting - when you next get on you could have lost loads!

Sorry to hear about your gallbladder - do you need to have it out? I thought you were ^alright' food wise if you steered clear of fat as that is what upsets it. which is good diet wise. Other than that how are you doing with it all?

FB Yes i think i will need it out at some point. Hopefully Dr can sort something tomorrow.
Yes should be ok on no fat or very liw fat foods but thats where i get stuck. Also although i am really hungry i don't fancy eating anything. Today i have had 2 cereal bars and 2 pots of jelly.

if sugar free jelly - it's fine.

Lost at least half a stone this week. I am just over 12st now.

How are you now Tortoise? have you had your gallbladder problem sorted?

I actually made it to a weightwatchers meeting last night, have lost another lb, 16 in total now. Hope everyone is well.

Hi smalline.
I am ok. Still eating little. But am finding more things i can eat, For example tonight i had Rice and sweet and sour sauce. Tastes just fine without the chicken and is much lower fat too! Breakfast tends to be a special K bar. I tried toast with jam, no butter but the jam on its own made my mouth sting.

Also helps that jelly type sweets ie wine gums, are very low in fat so i can have a treat too. Also i can have ice lollies when DC are having ice creams.

I have an appointment with a specialist on the 7th OCT! So i have to keep this up for a long time. And then i will find out if i can have the op to remove the gall bladder.
