Lardy Ladies 2010 time to think thin thread!

[Tortoiselookingforwardto2010]

OK, new thread for 2010!

My aim is to have lost 2 stone by my Birthday on April 6th! Booking a weeks family holiday for that week and want to feel and look better!

So, weigh in Friday? I always find weekends harder so that would be a good day for me.

Smalline mmm roast dinner soup sounds interesting.
I normally do carrot, onion and leek or leek and potato. Sometime spicy butternut squash. Carrot and coriander is nice as well.

Good luck for 2010!

Phew managed to stay the same this week, was DH birthday last weekend and we had a bit of a do, lots of cakes and goodies. I made some delicious and absolutely easy to make strawberry ice-cream this week from the double cream that was left over.

I'm going to try extra hard next week, cos the week after that it's DS birthday and there will be lots of cake in the house again.

Well done Small . What date is DS's Birthday? My DS2's is on the 10th so i need to work hard this week too.

DS's birthday is on the 5th Tortoise, he is having a family do on his birthday, then friends around the next day for tea, 2 lots of birthday cake.

Well I didn't exactly try very hard this week I stayed the same, still could have been worst, could have put on weight. I seem to have lost the motivation at the moment, I know that if I just lose the 5 or so lbs that I put on over the summer holidays, my clothes will fit that much better.

Maybe I'll make a bit more of an effort this week, am back to my hard exercise classes twice a week, will try and Shred twice and take it from there.

How is everyone else doing?

Hi Small.
Not doing to well here. And i forgot to weigh myself this morning. My Brother moved out just over a week ago after being here for over a year. Now i am back to snacking in the evening. And still haven't shredded.
I have lost motivation too and it's not good! Just as i felt like i was getting somewhere i mess it up again!

I didn't weigh myself this morning either Tortoise it's been a very bad week for me, way too many goodies around, but it's mostly gone now thanks to me.

I'm going to wipe the slate clean and start afresh tomorrow, I find that the first 3 days of cutting out junk food are the worst for me, once I'm past the 3 days then I am okay (mind you at the moment I'm finding it hard just doing 1 day never mind 3).

We've done so well this year Tortoise and you did even better, seems a shame to let all that hard work go to waste, have you got any photos of yourself at your slimmest this year, maybe you could pin it on the front of your snack cupboard along with a not so flattering one, it might deter you when reaching for those snacks, I'm going to do the same too!

Hope DS has a great birthday on Sunday.

Will try and start afresh Monday. Get party out of the way 1st! Actually glad his party is on his Birthday so there won't be much cake left and only one day of party food lol!
Just finished his cake. I think he will like it!

Don't think i can bear to have a photo up anywhere. I will have to think about that one lol!

Well, i am and flabbergasted! Weighed myself this morning and i am 11st 9lbs so around the same weight still. I have no idea how though.

That's great news Tortoise but don't do as I did last week, I stayed the same last week which I thought was amazing considering how much I had eaten the previous week, so this week I became complacent, well the result is I have put on 3lbs this week.

I am still going to try and get back to eating better. What i am eating is no good to my body!

Must have worked of masses of calories today at DS2's Roller disco. I had my roller blades on the whole time so at least 2hrs of skating around! Also lead the conga on skates, did the cha cha slide and also attempted limbo on skates lol! I had more fun that the kids i reckon!

Sounds like it was a great party Tortoise, reminds me of my DD's ice-skating party earlier this year, where I had loads of fun.

2lbs off this week, hope I can keep this up, looking forward to getting back to ll stone something.

1lb back on this week, I am not happy with myself.

I have been rubbish lately and i haven't weighed myself for a while so i don't actually know how bad things are!
I will try to weigh myself this week!

hOW ARE YOU GETTING ON Small and Furball?

Oops caps lock!

Not too well Tortoise, I've lost my mojo, dread to think how much I am going to weigh tomorrow, haven't exactly tried at all this week

Oh dear small. What are we like!!

Actually my weigh in was ok. 11st 8 3/4 but i have eaten very little since tuesday due to stressful problem. Which is not good i know.

Sorry to hear that Tortoise I hope that you get a resolution very soon, you need to look after yourself though, I'm here if you need to talk.

12st 6lbs this week, am not fussed as AF came this morning, my first in 4 months, it's been so long I had forgotten the usual signs, feeling bloated, clothes feeling tight, craving chocolate and stodgy food etc.

cooey! - anyone home?

Am so sorry girls - I've not been about for absolutely yonks.

I have however put on the 2 stone I so desperately lost a few years ago and yesterday, bit the bullet and I re-joined weight watchers.

It's about time I started to 'think thin' and I am literally back to square one, just look at my first post in this thread back in January

hey ho.......

anyway how are you both?

Hi Furball lovely to 'see' you, so... I've heard that WW have changed their plan, is it any good? how are you getting on with it?

Don't worry about being back at square one Furball I know the feeling, I have spent the last year losing half a stone, putting it back on, losing it again, putting it back on and so on, so now I am losing the half a stone that I will be putting on at Christmas, after Christmas I will lose that, then put it back on at Easter.

Nice to see you too smalline

I found last time I was on WW I could only eat like a mouse.....

This time on WW you can eat like a .....rat? you can have 29 points a day plus 49 bonus points per week.

Fruit is now free too, so snacking is easier.

I've not been doing too bad....for the first week but, I made cakes yesterday for a school event today and my ds is ill, so somebody ended up licking the bowl.

I've been reliably informed on the WW thread that the activity of 'licking the bowl' contains no calories whatsoever - so I'm pleased with that

Wow an extra 49 points a week, sounds too good to be true!

Forgot to post my 2lb loss this week, which takes me to 12st 3lbs

get you smalline - well done

I am 13.2

Thanks furball, I have faith in you, the weight will be slipping off you in no time going by your past experience, just stop licking bowls.

Hello.
Hope all had a good Christmas. Thought it was time to start thinking about getting back to this thread! Have really been slacking lately and have no idea how much i weigh!
Plan to weigh myself on the 1st Jan then get back to shredding (which i haven't done since summer hols! )
I hope to see you both, small and furball, on this thread soon!
