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!

Aww thanks Small . I have a huge chocolate cake for later (bought from Tesco lol!).

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TORTOISE! - woohoo

smalline well done for your 1 1/2 lb

Me? - argh yes me...........I've been a blooming pig(Including 2 meals out and then my complacence) and put on 3 1/2 lb this week good god am I elbowed back onto the straight and narrow.

Am going away for a few days too, but just about serves me right. I plan to loose that and that again (so 1/2 stone) by the time I weigh in in a fortnight

I've been pathetic diet wise ..........I need to re-focus and that gain has jolted me to it. I'm just pro longing everything.

Good Luck furball. you can do it.
I put on about 1lb last wk. Keep forgetting to weigh myself Mondays. I ate a whole pot of Pringles Monday too! Not good! No more crisps for me until after lent. Probably best to never allow myself crisps!

Have the cold from hell again too!

Any chocolate cake left Tortoise?

Yes Small, still some left! And it is DS1's Birthday tomorrow so more cake. Well, if i can get one! He asked for the giant french fancy. Specifically ordered from Sainsburys to deliver tonight just for the cake. They substituted it for 2 boxes of normal french fancies!! How did the picker think that would work!!!!

tortoise - just read somewhere you now have a slow cooker. have a look here - scroll down abit for loads of yummy recipes

I buy frozen caserole veg, so it's there all the time and can just 'chuck it in' at a moments notice. If you buy chopped meat as well, it takes about 20 seconds to prep. [lazybones] Chuck in a stock cube and a bit of boiling water and leave for the day. yum yum yum although it's not really the weather for it atm

hows everyones week going? any cake left?

I'm doing OK, feel really bloated so easy stay on the straight and narrow. Am off tomorrow for 5 days. Will be 'self catering' so hopefully nothing too tempting will be had. although if the weathers like this - How can I resist a lovely Mr Whippy 99?

Have fun in the sun both - we've got to make the most of it, this could well be it til next year!

Yes I do, Thanks furball, will have a look. Chicken curry currently cooking. Smells fab. Had no proper recipe so sort of winging it and hoping it will be ok!

I love this weather but struggling cos I feel so fat at the moment.

If I haven't lost weight this weekend I will be very shocked! 4 hours of gardening yesterday and a good 3 hours this morning plus mowed back lawn which was hard going because it had got a but too long! Now shattered! Enjoying the nice weather though.

No change for me this week, stayed the same, thinking of going back to
Saturday weigh in.

Great gardening tortoise! well done to you

I'm doing OK - our few days away went well. i only succumbed to a massooove piece of coffee and walnut cake which I had instead of lunch and an equally massive ice cream. (not on the same day ) which all in all I'm pleased with.

How are the holidays going for everyone else?

Healthy eating has gone out the window this week as the kids are on holiday, but have been to the gym twice as well as my usual gruelling fit2fite classes which hopefully will make up for it, had a whole tub of cookies & cream haagan-dazs last night whilst watching Greys Anatomy, will probably gain this week

Well - WI tomorrow. I'm doing OK, not sure I've worked hard enough to lose 7 lbs in 2 weeks but I'm hoping I've lost (hopefully) the 3 1/2 I put on plus a bit more for luck!

How are you two going? Tis tricky as it's school holidays and Easter is looming so we will have to slalom the eggs.

But hey ho......onwards and downwards (scales wise)

Good luck furball. Hope you have a good result.
TBH I have no idea how I am doing. Slipped back to eating some crisps and chocolate.
Think I will weigh myself this morning, once I get up lol!

4 lbs I am well happy with that.

Wow! Well done furball. Fab result.
I am 12st 7 1/2 today. About 1lb off I think.

I'm now12 stone 8 lbs tortoise - Race you down to 12 stone?

and well done on the 1lb

Challenge accepted! I expect you will win though lol!

Can I join the race down to 12 stone, I've only got 3 lbs to go, but the way I am going you'll probably both beat me.

4lbs, wow Furball that is great going, you deserve that for being so good whilst away.

1lb is good too Tortoise especially during the school holidays.

I've noticed that over the last couple of days I haven't been eating much, probably because it is so hot, but the lack of walking and exercise is making me feel so unfit, I'm sort of looking forward to the holidays ending so I can get back to my normal routine, but I know I will miss these lazy days when they are finished.

Of course you can Small. Unfair advantage but i don't mind lol! I need to go back to not eating crisps and chocolate if i am going to stand any chance of beating you!! I have one Easter egg though! (Buy 1 get 2 free, one each for DS's and 1 for me!)

don't hand me the medal before I've crossed the line tortoise - it has taken me 12 weeks to loose 10 1/2lbs - admittedly it has been totally painfree, (which is amazing in itself) but still, I sure am dragging it out

Someone said they thought I looked narrower from behind today

Had a super ice cream today (honeycomb flavour) and I managed to bring myself to order a 'just one scoop one'

smalline - 12 stone challenge accepted

MIl has given me a bunch of bananas for Easter instead of an egg

I know it is for my own good, but I've just bought 2 bunches for the fruit bowl. [sigh] but at least they won't be getting me into any mischief. I'll just have to watch dh and ds eat their lovely chocolate eggs [sob]

oh dear furball lol. You could make banana cake?

We've all overdosed on banana cake over the years and even the sight of one makes me feel queasy!

thought I might give this 'ice cream' a go

Oh oh, what's that recipe where u put chocolate buttons in the banana, wrap in foil and put on the bbq or in oven! Yummy with ice cream!
