Want to lose a stone - not on WW, SW, Atkins etc tho'

[Bearess]

Does anyone want to play? I'm 5'8, roughly 10 st 6lbs. Suspect possibly a couple of lbs more but refuse to get on the scales at night! Am at my best at about 9 st 7 lbs. Want to lose the weight by healthy sensible eating and plenty of exercise. Does anyone want to join in? Don't really want to crash anyone else's thread!

Had pea & ham soup and an apple for lunch.
Will go out at lunch and buy more fruit to get me through the afternoon.

Hi Bearess

Just had a ham sandwich and a banana and can't wait to drink my warm cup of water!!

Okay, admission time!
So dinner was garlic and ginger prawn stir fry and this afternoon after lunch I had a fruit salad of grapes, orange, apple and pinapple.
BUT, I bought the Sainsburys magazine today and it came with a free 40g bar of Green&Blacks almond organic chocolate bar. OMG, why did I have to discover that stuff now?!!! How scrummy is that chocolate!! YUM. And of course I've shared a bottle of white wine with D, but I'm never giving up the vino, for anything of anyone!

Trouble is don't seem to be getting under 10stone, oh well, sure it'll happen just more slowly than that 1st stone I lost.

How about you girls?

ive had a bad day! baby been ill, ive been upset so i didnt eat until tea time when i had tomato soup with a cheese sandwich...so wrong!! then ds threw up and my dinner nearly re-emerged. this is ok though isnt it cus we havent officially started yet? (please say yes)!!

oh mate, what a rotten day. Well I'm a bit pissed and am therefore eating a chocolate lolly. It makes sense to me! Having a fag in between to delay the finishing of choclate lolly!

prawn and garlic and ginger stir fry , the thought sends me into heaven, i can and will diet on that

Shall I copy you out reciepe FF?

i admit i like my wine and dont think i can ever give it up. unfortunatly alcohol makes me more hungry and if i cant eat i smoke more. so altogether i expect my body is a wreck.

ooh put that recipy on, i love anything with garlic, my house always stinks of it.

Am gutted because I got on the scales this morning and am 10st 9lbs, gaaaaaaah, anyway -positive thinking - here we go! Don't worry nightowl, today is D-day, hope babs is better today. Have had all-bran and skimmed milk so far - will post later and may the force be with you! I ordered this yesterday for a wedding in four weeks, they only had a s
ize 10 & 12, have ordered 12 so need to drop some weight urgently!

how depressing weighed myself to start off and am 3lb heavier than at start of week! Put me down for 1 stone 3 lb to lose...

Am 40 in 29 days and wanted to be 10 stone... anyone got a liposuction machine I could borrow?

PS FAB dress!

thanks loudmum, I imagine not very forgiving on the "unsightly bulges" front though, oh well, I've always liked a challenge!

there are always magic knickers.... which is what I have promised myself for my 40th if I failed to get to a size 12!!

Not weighed myself, no scales

thomcat i would love the recipe thankyou

Hi Found the scales (hidden them carefully awhile ago!) any got on lightly and quietly and they shouted back OUCH - 10st 5lb - yuk, want to lose 1st 3lbs. Any good receipes plz? I'm enjoying my warm water by the litre. Good luck everyone ;-)

Jesus, Mary and Joesph ...... 9.13lb!!!!!!

Magic knickers are all very well, but mine are magically now starting to shift it all upwards and outwards ...

Put me down for a stone please!

Now how do I do a Sainsbury's shop without going down the cereal isle?

Pindy, have to ask, why warm water?

It fills you up even more - I meant it makes you FEEL more full up!!!!

Bearess - Great dress, you buy it and then we can all borrow it when the weight has gone!!! :-)

lol

'cos it's warm? [quizzical emoticon]

Yep - for some reason I think it makes a difference - try it and let me know what you think? Perhaps I'm just dippy

pindy - for you I will rent it out at a very competitive rate

Bearess - sounds good to me!

Got to sign off for a few hours off to have hair done - hilighted etc - not too sure that was a wise decision on Red Nose Day (mad hair etc) anyway hope it turns out OK :-/

Don't eat too much whilst I'm gone and drink that water................ then run to the loo all the time (called excercise)

Can I join in? Forgot to weigh myself this morning, but think I'm about 10st 8lb (or so). Id got down to 10st 3 from 11st 3 (with the help of Mumsnet) last year, but have been having a relapse.

9st 7lb is my target - I'll then review and see if I want to go any further. I'm 5'4" and I used to like to be below 9 stone (even 8stone when I was at Uni), but suspect that as I've got older, my weight has somehow re-distributed and that would be too skinny.

Got to 9st 7lb for my wedding nearly 7 years ago - and felt good about my figure!
