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!

All good here thanks. I haven't had any crisps or chocolate in the last couple of days and feeling a little proud of myself. Will get some veg later to make soup for tea.
Sorry you still aren't feeling great furball but it has its advantages!

I've lost my appetite today, have not eaten anything as yet, just keep drinking tea with sugar, I don't usually take sugar! this cold is making me feel yeuck and I've not slept properly the last 3 nights, keep waking up every hour or so then I don't want to swallow cos my throat is hurting so much, I'm going to resort to some night nurse or something tonight I need my sleep.

Apart from that I'm okay hoping to lose that 1lb I put on last week.

smalline - sounds like we have a similar bug

tis pretty grim - but good for the diet!

Like I've already said - I couldn't even face egg and chips on Monday - so just shows how bad I was/am

Hope you feel better soon Although 4-5 days on I still feel rough, but now can eat normal sized smallish meals but thats it, I'm not picking or peckish inbetween.

Damn you two! I now have a runny nose and sore throat. I blame you both!

On the plus side still not eaten any chocolate or crisps.

I did have veg curry and chips from takeaway for lunch though !

Feeling a bit better now, but then again I have only just got up.

Appetite still not returned to normal, I went to a quiz night at the local school last night, all this lovely food was being passed around my table but I just didn't fancy it.

Ooh Tortoise I hope you are not getting what we've got, it's not very nice.

12st 2lbs this week, lost 2lbs

Well done Tortoise for not eating chocolate & crisps, I know how much you love them.

Well small . Yes i do love chocolate and crisps but i haven't been tempted yet. I did nearly slip up earlier when DD2 was eating eclairs sweets. I asked for one and she said No they have chocolate in! I completely forgot that lol.

Where did the 'done' go? I put well done small.

well done on the loss smalline

ps have you both made the mushy pea curry yet?

I had it for tea friday and last night! I dished up fish and chips for dh and ds and they had a normal curry on Friday. Dh tasted it and said it was 'actually alright' though it does look abit odd.

No I haven't made the pea curry yet! Making carrot and parsnip soup later. Hopefully will make me feel better!

Soup yesterday was yum. Had left overs for lunch today. Not feeling great tbh but still managed day 10 of shred.
Forgot to weigh myself this morn. Will try and remember tomorrow. Hoping for good result. Coming up to a whole week without chocolate or crisps .

I am a happy tortoise this morning! I weigh 12st 7 1/2 lbs so just under 3lbs loss .
Making carrot and parsnip soup again today.

How are you two getting on this week?

No I haven't made the mushy pea curry as yet Furball, need to get some curry paste next time I go shopping.

Carrot and parsnip soup Tortoise sounds interesting is the recipe on mumsnet?

Am feeling a bit better each day, appetite is back, yesterday I had

Breakfast porridge with raisins
Lunch l pk wotsits, lf yogurt, slice lemon drizzle cake.
Dinner leek potato & chirozo soup - yummy
snacks tangerine, pear & a few chocolates
1 glass of wine

Made it to the gym last night, first time in a week, mind you woke up during the night, could hardly open my eyes as there was so much gunk around them, my eyes look small and red today

How are you feeling Furball?

Wow, well done Tortoise well worth giving up the chocolate and crisps

Thanks small.
Soup recipe is one I tore out of some magazine a while ago. Very simple to make.
It's just 450g carrots, 1 onion, 1 parsnip, 700ml veg stock, 25g butter.
Melt butter in pan, add peeled and chopped veg and onion, cook for 2-3 mins, add stock, cover and simmer for 25mins it until veg is soft, then blend. I do double amount because between me and DS1 it does 4 portions!

hi! waves at furball,smallline and tortoise, is jambuttie still about?

i was looking through old threads from 2007 to gain inspiration and then looked to see if you guys were still here!

i weighed myself at the start of jan. and was 12stone am now 11 2. this time 2007 i was 10 2 so that is my target.

oh and heavybee, is she still about?

blimey pesme!

nah just us three here now - everyone else must be non-lardy and has left.

You are obviously very welcome to pitch up back here though.

HI it was funny looking through the old threads. i quite liked the shor tand sweet aspect with a new thread every week. i find it hard to keep up on long threads. my weight has yoyoed spectacularily in the past 4 years but am determined to get back to my 2007 weight. it does get harder with age though! how have you been?

Hi pesme. Sounds like you have been doing well since Jan. I was thinking the other day that we need a new thread as this one is a year old lol. And here I am still lardy!

I have been out cutting my lawn tonight. Only done half but it is about 30 metres long in all and hard work!

hi tortoise! how can you cut your lawn it is awfully wet here.

right lets get our lardy arses in gear. my ww weigh in day is monday but i am flexible!

Beautiful day here in sunny Somerset. Warm and sunny. Didn't even need a coat on and was a bit hot in my jumper but not brave enough to take it off yet!

How is everyone doing?
Not too bad here. Shred day 12 today when i get my arse in gear lol!
Still suffering with this cold but trying to keep going!

Are you still having the lovely weather there Tortoise? We've had dark, cloudy, cold days all week, forecasted to rain tomorrow, it's a shame really cos some of the trees have gorgeous blossoms, only thing missing is the sun.

Have not been too bad this week, could do better though and not sneak mini easter eggs in my mouth each evening, I'm putting that down to pre-AF chocolate craving, feeling a lot better now, went to the gym again last night.

Hello Pesme you've done really well with your weight loss this year, well done you. After reading your post on here, I went back and looked at the old threads, didn't know they would still be on Mumsnet, this time 5 years ago I weighed 2lbs less than I do now, talk about consistent

It is lovely today Small. Yesterday was cloudy but OK. Forecast for tomorrow is a lot of rain! Just as i was enjoying the sun!

Day 13 shred done. I'm shocked i am keeping it up especially with this cold!
