Right - I HAVE to lose 1 1/2 stone. And tone up... anyone wanna join me in a vague kick up the arse thread?

[LostProphet]

I need this weight gone.

It is making me seriously depressed (not in a vague "oh god that's depressing" way, in a very very low, slightly suicidal, don't want to be seen in public kind of way).

I was 6 months pregnant the only time I have weighed this much before.

Just the basics - exercise more in some way, eat better, eat less etc. Was thinking a weekly weigh in might help shame me into doing it.

My name is LostProphet/Flamesparrow/WhateverIamInTheMoodFor and I currently weigh 11st 8oz.

i too serve myself huge portions and dont stop even when my stomache says I feel full my mouth keeps on munching

That is a good start (must remember smaller portion) or smaller plate that makes it look like I have a huge portion.

I weighed myself today and I am 10st 12.
little bit less than I thought but still aiming for 10st for now.

Sunday night weigh in

Yay for more people joining!

Lol @ you not making any for your children - I did a gorgeous birth thingy for Psychoboy2... neither of mine have them I have decided to wait until I have a third and then just bung all 3 on one

not doing too badly today so far - I am another with the smaller portions, it doesn't help that our main dinner plates are huge. Going to use the ones we got for our wedding tonight - they are much smaller. (DH is in on this too, but not joining an MN thread )

joosy lol re dreams

bread is my downfall.

sorry didnt realize sunday was weigh in day.

i really like the way paul mcsexgod gets you to 'listen' to your body, i realised that i was just eating WAAAY past the point of pleasant satisfied fullness.

i really love food and don't want to restrict myself (other than the bread pastry thing)
so i'm going to enjoy every mouthful and stop when full!!!! well... i'm going to try!

kids having ham and cheese pasta tonight, i find pasta makes me so hungry afterwards, weird.

i might have the sauce with summat else, don't know what though, whats everyone else having?

I have cock a leekie in slow cooker.
never had it before.
cant see myself being full,may have feta salad too.

I passed out at work today. I do feel shivery even now so think its the lack of food combined with maybe coming down with something. (little one is off colours too so could be that) Boss (who is a GP) gave me a big lecture on eating properly etc. Im such an idiot. .

Oh pumpkins - take it easy this evening. Hope you feel ok later

Aww Pumpkins

I had spag bol on a small plate.

I am cooking choc cake I know, NOT a bright idea!

Will forgive you for late weigh ins, what with us only having been goin for 2 days

pumpkins you must eat and regularly too.
NO skipping meals especially not breakfast.
sorry lecture over.
Hope your feeling better.

I was quite ill a couple of weeks ago, started with sore throat then I was shivering for a couple of hours, with loads of layers. Was horrible never felt like that.
So I hope you dont get that.

Lostprophet I had my tea on a small plate too.
Choc cake does sound really goooood
All in moderation I say.

Do you find that as soon as you start to deprive yourself of something you want it more, or even start craving other things.

Thanks, Think I have figured out whats going on, I have eaten and still feel very very dizzy my ears are hurting too now think I have what I had last year which is labyrinthitis. Have made drs appointment and will see whats going on. I wasnt eating THAT little so if Im still feeling like this after eating then I guess thats quite a possible reason.

what is labyrinthitis?

My sister was ill recently had similar to me, really bad throat (her weak spot)'achey joints pains in stomache.

Emergency doc came out and said def got infection just dont know where.

went back to doctor as antibiotics didnt seem to be helping and told her she had flaryngitis/phlar (sp?)
never heard of it and dont know what its supposed to be.

Its an infection of the inner ear, makes you dizzy and nausous. Deffinetly feel worse, the screen is making me feel funny, exactly the same as last year. Being naughty (am I?) and have dug out some left over antidizzyness tabs from last year (within sell by date) and have taken 2 just to help a bit as my appointments not until 5 tomorrow. The room is jumping about, its very wierd. Am almost relieved in a way that its not my diet thats done it, I didnt think I was eating that little so am relieved that I can carry on my new plan (as long as DRs confimr my self diagnosis) But certainly of the duration of the day I have got worse and definetly despite the eating I feel worse.

Hi - Can I join in too?

I've also lost about 2 stone since jan (with loads of help from another thread!). Have lost my way over the summer and still want to lose a bit more. Last time I weighed was 12 st 4 (so guess I'm the fatty of the thread!) Would love to get down to 11 - not been this weight since Uni and nofoodonlysnakebite diet.

Used weight watchers (online only) last time hoping to use the ideas this time. Need to get moving but not sure when or how!

Have also got the paul m book - need to finish reading it - keep falling to sleep after 1 page.

Got a juicer - it's in the garage covered in dust. Really need food as I love it. Juice just doesn't do it for me!

Always used to have a saturday morning weigh in as it meant I could have the weekend off - sunday night is scarey !

Think that's enough wittering for me!

I ate choc cake with cream BUT (and you will hear me justify a lot on this thread) - i have eaten very little today so twas pretty much all my calories in one go

Hiya Loler

for labyrinthitis, but I sort of hope it is too iyswim

yummy chocolate cake.

Morning, Im off work today and am staying in bed until my Drs appointment - so determined to get myself well before start new job!!!! Screen isnt hurting my eyes so yay I can MN inbetween sleeping, and have got tv in my room now (by pulling wire faaaaar) as long as I dont moove my head and ignore the feeling the ceiling is coming towards me this could be quite relaxing lol. Taking some lovely antidizzyness tabs and cocodamol very helpful! (If I cant get it under control with tabs I fear what happened last year...a jag up the bum by a very pervy dr so am desperate to avoid this!)

How are you all today? Im going to make a nice banana and avocado smoothie soon i think

We had pizza last night , but rather than scoffing the lot I left a slice on my plate.

glad you're taking it easy pumpkins!

in the end i had jacket spud with cheesy ham sauce, last night, but left a quarter of it. just had smoked mackerel pate with salad for lunch.

i'm feeling really hungry today, i think cuz it's so cold. BUT i have just walked about 3 miles to buy a pumpkin!!

hope everyone else is o.k today.

loler well done on the amazing weight loss.
lilredw & joosey you have more will power than me leaving food on your plate.
i cant do it which is why I have decided to use smaller plates.

Well done on 3 mile walk. I have just got back from doctors with my ds. He has just had his first set of injections, he is a bit tearful.
Going to wrap them both up and take dog out soon.
Pumpkin hope you are ok and the doctors app goes well.

lostprophet very of your cake. I am sooo tempted to make carrot and sultana wholemeal muffins. I want to try out the new tin.

The crisp cupboard and toaster is calling me

The whispering is getting LOUDER

step AWAAAAAAAAAAAAY.!!!!

Are you REALLY hungry??

Too late, think I was probably thirsty not hungry, but I have just had a packet of crisps and 2 slices of toast, but only butter on one slice.
I am sooo weak

no you're not!!

i just polished off dds packet of crisps!!

I even bought Asda Smartshiteprice, as they're so evil tasting i wouldn't be tempted! ha!

tomorrow is another day, will eat porridge with skim milk and sultanas....probably.

lol

yes porridge for me too, sultanas sounds good will try that, and honey

but I have a full box of crunchy nut cornflakes I cant waste them mmmmm....

Mmmmm, my week not going brilliantly ..... regretting I signed up for this, yet thinking that it may eventually shame me into action

Does anyone else permanently want to eat chocolate or is it just me???

Had a better breakfast today with melon and fat free yog but by 9.30 was polishing off bag of DH's revels...........
