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.

glad you are feeling better giraffe!

guess what i have just booked - an appointment at a spa for tomorrow got the vouchers when I left my last job, cant wait

oh giraffe the spa sounds great I am
hope you are feeling better.

joosey how you doing?

doing o.k today.
Have drunk a few glasses of wine over past couple of days AND shared a box of quality st with dh ( he ate more than me!) plus had virtual choc off giraffe!!

Half the battle is not feeling totally shit about myself, self-esteem very low atm.

I keep trying to imagine how nice i'll feel when i've lost the weight ( another Paul McSexgod trick).

will try really hard this week, although parents coming over from spain and they always bring bags of pistachios, yummy greasy chorizo and sherry.

hope everyone else is o.k!

Giraffe- how was the spa today?

AAAARRRGGGHHH!!! I need a major kick up the arse. I have totally lost the plot and my weight has started going up I have a black tie do on saturday, what can I eat that is filling but has hardly any calories for the next three days?

hi lisa, how about protein based stuff, like chicken, with rice and veg?

oatcakes are brill.

drink loads of water?

oatcakes are fab, i love ones with berry bits in them.

was wonderful thanks, pics of my long nails on profile.

Been bad food wise tops - ooops. But back to work tomorrow so hopefully will get back in a routine. Went to see my Dr today about my eating ishoos and shes agreed to refer me for some help so am feeling positive.

oops just got back from a weekend away and a very busy (eating out lots) half term and have put on 2 lbs! Not a good start I think. Will soon have to leave this thread and join the I want to lose 2 1/2 stone one!

Went to tesco yesterday and didn't buy any alcohol (much to dh disappointment) or nice food. If haven't got it in can't eat it!

Having a party on sat night though so am likely to be very tempted, will have to try an move around a bit this week.

V jealous of spa.

I know it isn't healthy but as a quick thing drinking diet coke can help - the bubbles seem to fill you up more than water.

I don't think this week is going to work out well - I have had wine and latte

Well I have had a good couple of days. On Wed morning I was showing 11st 4, this morning 11st 1, so have managed to get rid of the excess fluid. Will be having soup for tea, a boiled egg for brekkie, and a light lunch. Hopefully my tummy won't be too bloated by tomorrow evening

yay! have a great time.

10st 6lbs. not lost any
not gained any

Flame, I am VERY cross with you; why didnt you tell me you'd started this thread?! You know how badly I'm trying to lose weight! (and you know that eating your daily calories allowance as one cake aint gonna help your blood sugar levels, therefore yuo wont lose weight!)

So. I need to lose 1st 1lb.
Am now doing a meal, and 2 juices a day (and the odd bit of bread )
Am averaging 6-8 aerobics classes a week now, and a run or two if time.

Do not seem to be losing weight I've lost 2 stone in a year, but now its plateauing.

hiya, this looks like a good thread for me too.

i am about 11.9, and this is my 'natural' weight, ie just eating what i want but no overdoing it. I tend to stick at this weight.

I was 10.7 2 yrs ago and it made such a difference. Yet i lost that by not eating as was having hard times.

I am starting 2morro, as today i have hangover, and am v hungry.!!!

so may i join, and what tips do you have.

Hi all, Can i join in too.. am 10st which one and a half over weight and as I'm short it really shows! Feeling very down about it. Am also TTC have been for ages and feeling pretty naff about that too! Have been doing ok with eating healthy stuff (loads fruit) but the weight doesn't shift and then I get down in the dumps and eat like a loon all day!

Aww sorry MRM But yay for being down to only losing 1.1stone!!!!

I lost 1lb this week so am at 11.3 Not good, but seeing as I haven't bothered much this week, better than nothing.

the more the merrier

Hello everyone.

Well I had a heavy drinking/eating weekend and was showing three pound up this morning, making me 11st 3.8 lb. I have started a faddy type diet (I know I know, but my SiL said she lost 6lb in a week) so I am giving it a go to try and get myself back on track for the next few weeks till Xmas.

hi ladies

can i join? i keep trying to diet and exercise and it just aint happenin!!

i really want to slim down for xmas.

currently 12.5 would love to get down to 10 but thats a looonnnggg way off!!

do you do weigh ins etc?

Lol @ the faddy diet!

The more the merrier Weigh in on Sundays.

I have had more wine this week as I have been in a pissed off with the world phase, but I have now semi-flounced and am in a much happier place Have been at a full day of work today too (I do occasional work at school) and spent 90% of the day on my feet - I am now wiped out but the movement must have done me good!

Feeling much better about myself and my tummy is looking smaller - I don't know how much of that is weight loss and how much is down to eating very little toast now!

Beef stew thing on hob - oodles of veg

you sound happier flame, i'm glad your flounce was only a semi one!!!

I have lost 5lb since monday

what flame said!

I am in smallerish jeans today
