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!

have posted for yesterday but add to that a muller light, glass of red and horlicks light - rock & roll! Today I've had all-bran with chopped banana, a muller light, two apples, bowl of pasta with tomato-ey sauce and salad, a bowl of melon, two teas and, ahem, slice of choc cake ds brought back for me from a party - sponge a bit dry so didn't eat too much, but scoffed all of the yummy choc icing, mmm... Go on saintshar, 'fess up!

hiya, i still havent weighed myself yet but last week i was 10st 7lb so i will start on that i think. today i had half a grapefruit, cooked some chicken thing from the low fat cookbook (dd threw it straight up the wall) and i havent had anything since (havent had time)had two glasses of white wine and a coffee with sweetener this morning. have been naughty and drank sugar free fizzy pop but no water today. found some "adios" tablets in the cupboard..are these any good does anyone know? oh, forgot had one tiny and i mean tiny slice of choc cake that someone brought round for me..well it wouldnt be polite to refuse would it?

Didn't do too bad yesterday - until the tiniest piece if bread and butter pudding, but then did run around like a mad thing trying to keep a big black tom cat off of my darling little tortoise shell Mimi kitten!!!!! Not sure it worked, I think she's in love now. How do you know when a cat's pregnant? Help.........

Anyway, slice of toast with yukky low fat grease on it and a cup of tea, going to be really good today. Off to get a big glass of water. Bye for now....

Wrote a long message and then my PC crashed.

Weighed myself this morning: 10st 9lb (one pound away for the "4 digit" weight I'd vowed I would never return to).

Relatively good over the weekend (not perfect, but at least no chocolate except for the two squares of 70% dark chocolate I allow myslef a day) and even went for a 30 minute run.

Will weigh myslef again on Friday.

What are adios tablets, I think I've seen them in the chemist but don't know what they're for?

no idea what adios tablets are!! are they Spanish for "go away fat" !!!

Oh - I had orange juice and a bowl of mini shredded wheat with sliced banana and a cup of tea for breakfast.

Will have the M&S new potato salad for lunch (with egg, lettuce and tomato - only 220 calories) and get some satsumas to snack.

That was I can be sure I've had my 5 items of fruit and veg.

.... off to have a glass of water, first of many

Ok Bearess - I will 'fees up!!

I only allow myself alcohol on a Saturday, but had such a bad day yesterday I ended up having 3 glasses of wine last night. Oh and had a take-away on Saturday night, but I hadn't had any tea. I let myself have a treat on a Saturday, so I have that to look forward to all Week.

I use the adios tablets - and would recommend them. They are a herbal tablet, which are suppost to 'help you to lose weight naturally by speeding up your body's metabolic rate, and stimulate fat metabolism.'

All I can say is that I started to diet in Feb, and was doing really well but only lost 1lb in 4 Weeks. I decided to try adios and lost 4lb in a Week! I will say that you really do have to diet - you can't just take a tablet with your cream cake and lose weight. But if you are dieting, it seems to help you to lose the weight a little easier.

that'll be me off out to buy some adios tablets later then! I'm very impressed with booze only on a Sat btw.

Egg and potato salad all sold out Bought a greek style feta salad bowl instead 270 calaories. PLus a load of clementines.

Going to have to be really good this week as I've just realised that the Friday weigh-in will be the day before my period starts, when I usually go up a couple of pounds

just in from first swim of the week... 5 days until weigh in so am very motivated... meant to listen to my Pauk McK CD last night but was too engrosed in Da vinci Code but at least did not eat whilst reading it... PROGRESS!!!

Had 4 glasses of wine on Friday night, went for a Thai meal on Saturday, McDonalds on Sunday and today I had a packet of Cadbury's Mini Eggs.

Anyone want to take bets on whether I lose anything on Friday?

Mini eggs, God I love cadbury's mini eggs.

Well today ladies, guess what I had for breakfast? Yes! How on earth did you guess? That's right, all-bran & chopped banana! Ciabatta roll with light cheese spread & salad for lunch, an apple, I had tea out with ds and ordered pasta with mushrooms because it looked like the least fattening thing on the menu, unfortunately it came swimming in butter, yummy but v. fattening. A muller light just now. I have got to tell you what happened today though, it was hilarious, I went to Waterstones to buy the Fat girl slim cook book and the one about how French women don't get fat (had a quick flip and some of the recipes look fab, will post!) anyway, the bloke behind the counter said "who are these for?" and I said "Me!" so the love said "You don't look like you need to lose a pound" - made my day I can tell you, and the fact that he wasn't far off retirement age (and clearly needed to go to specsavers) has nothing to do with it, I'll take my compliments where I can get them these days!!

Lol at specsavers!
I am a useless dieter, bad weekend of being very angry with dp resulting in donut eating frenzy (another thing to blame him for). Also went and bought all the ingredients for TC's prawn dish but forgot the prawns.
Today has been marginally better though, spec K, egg and tuna salad and a twix. And no alcohol for a week

I've been RUBBISH but I don't care it was the weekend.

And today doesn't count either, I was feeling like crap after a very heavy, very large Saturday night out.

It's all about tomorrow!

Hi linnywith2 - glad you've joined us. I think Fridays will come round toooooooo quickly though!!!

I was quite good yesterday, ham salad roll for lunch and a banana, tea was bangers and mash and beans but only a tiny helping and then a bowl of all bran and a banana at 9.30pm when I got in.

Oh yes, loadz of water.......

Today has been a cup of tea and a slice of toast, but it is still early.

Was relatively good last noght. Had a snack of a few brazil nuts when I got in - but then dh offered me a glass of a very good sherry [blsuh].

Supper was cold roast chicken (skin taken off of course ) with a few oven chips and loads of peas and a tomato. Had a couple of squares of dark chocolate - but just before I went to bed I cheated and had 2 jaffa cakes .

Did make sure to drink loads of water during the day

Cheated again this morning and weighed myself - 10st 8lb So as long as I stay being relatively good, should have some leeeway for my "Pre-period weight gain" which might affect my Friday weigh in.

Hi y'all!

Yesterday I had a low fat yogurt and apple for breakfast.
Tuna salad for dinner, chicken, rice and a few oven chips for tea.
Apple and a plum in the evening because I was peckish.
7 glasses of water and 3 cups of tea.
Not bad for once!

Hello linnywith2!

Oh, I have eaten loads today, nothing naughty but have been nibbling all day, did make rice krispie cakes with ds - and didn't eat one so I suppose that's progress.

How is everyone doing?

hey i was offered a jam donut today and i refused !! (proud emoticon)

GO NIGHTOWL, GO NIGHTOWL!!

and then i succumbed to a fun size twix...erm 2 actually...all hope is lost
