my weight5 is going up and not down - i may have to divorce my hubbie as he aint helping and he eats loads

bran · 02/09/2008 22:44

Hi Jaz, welcome.

RGPargy · 02/09/2008 23:19

Hi Jaz

You just have to try and take control of what you're eating. if your hubbie cooks and makes loads either you cook the meals or perhaps dish the dinner up yourself so that you can control how much you put on your plate. It's bloody hard when you're with someone like that isn't it. Come on now, you were doing so well. Take hold of your shoulders and give them a good shake. Time for action and time to get back on track.

sillyRiaforgothernickname · 03/09/2008 09:33

Guess what, I've finally lost 2lb!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still offline at home - back as soon a I can.

Hope you are all doing well and happy.

jaz236 · 03/09/2008 10:48

Thank you RGpargy, yknow aswell, i dont think my leader at fatfighters is any god, yeserday i got weighed and shes said oh dear youve put on a pound and thats it, she then moved onto the next bloody person - I need a leader thats going to go mad!!

Hows work life eating ya anyway hun?

RGPargy · 03/09/2008 11:01

Ria - Yay, well done!!!

Jaz - the thing with the fat fighters leaders is that they cant really have a go at you because it might discourage you from going back! I suppose what they are trying to do is not make you feel so down about putting on a pound.

Work life sucks. I come in, do nothing, then go home. This week ive started working Wednesday, Thursday and Friday instead of just thurs and fri so i know that my 3 day week will just go sooooo slow!! Still, the money will be handy i suppose.

jaz236 · 03/09/2008 17:53

Think of the money my darlink and also christmas is on its way wohoooooooooooo. I know your right about my leader but i do ned to be shouted at i reckon so ill stop going overboard with the food - evenings is the worse for me as all i can think about is food

PinkChick · 03/09/2008 18:49

This morning I am in a pair of pre pregnancy trousers so it measn I don't have to fork out on new stuff to wear for a short while while the weight drops off

PinkChick · 04/09/2008 09:47

woohoo, thats fab..i managed to dig out some pre fattest ever clothes and found a few nice tops tht now fit, so ill be ok till after hol at least..WELL DONE!

was really chuffed this morn, as i was in bit of rush and chucked on and oldish (big) grey jumper with my newer jeans and was paranoid jumper was too short and jeans too clingy..but when i got to school (despite seeing all these people yesterday?) 5 of the mums came up to me saying wow how much weight have you lost..felt great and was telling them about the tabs but that i had to change my eating habits etc..was on a real high after that..has kicked me into sticking on track as like i said i had wained a little..ive never lost this amount of weight before so this is all new to me and just want to keep going now as im feeling such a difference

hope everyone has a lovely day

Well done Five and Pink!!

No one's told me that i look like i've lost weight yet, but maybe one day they will notice that i've lost 1st 5lbs!

PinkChick · 04/09/2008 16:46

OP posts:
RGPargy · 04/09/2008 16:47

Thing is, the more you have to lose, the less it notices at first until you lose ALOT!

I had good day yesterday and feel much better today..just had weetabix for brekky, am going to have cereal again for lunch (gunna do my own special K adapted diet this week ) and then something like chicken/pasta or chicken/rice for tea tonight..i am really beginning to feel it in myself now, like being able to cross my legs properly.and lean over to reach soap from shelf at bottom of bath with out having to push belly to one side..i also seem to have got ring of my unsightly over hang of skin aboove my knees..just wish id started a little sooner as would have looked even a big knickerd bikini for hol at end of month..never mind, got centerparcs end of nov, if i can tone up a lot i might brave one there

speak soon, have a good day all.x

PinkChick · 05/09/2008 12:59

HOws DD? has she got used to you going back out to work?

OP posts:
RGPargy · 05/09/2008 13:14

DD is brilliant thanx. She's what keeps me going at the moment! I think she's used to me being at work, although i'm not sure she likes it! She's very happy with MIL tho as she dotes on DD so i know she's well cared for.

Might go out in the rain to get a WW soup and a Muller Light soon..... how exciting!! [rolls eyes]

PinkChick · 05/09/2008 13:18

mrsf?? What's that? I know Aspartame is bad for you - i dont buy diet drinks but i know that it's in Muller Lights. However, i dont eat enough "artificial" food for it to affect me really. Thanx anyway tho!
