A conference, away from the dcs, where they give out snickers bars? Previously, that wouldn't have seemed that exciting, cyb, but now, it seems like a good day out

LG&T - God I love a bounty, me. Nibble all the chocolate off the edges and then just coconut. Yumbo.

I have eaten now and feel a leetle sick. But goddammit I am going to have some strawberry ice cream.

I have to do my CV tonight for vay important grown up job (its sounds hilarious even just saying that). So I would need to fast for considerably longer than just a few hours in order to fit into anything vaguely respectable, so long is it that I have worn anything other than converse and jeans.

largeginandtonic · 18/03/2010 20:39

Oh what job Moodlum? If you can say obv.

Cyb glad it went well

Kooks you off then? Didn't realise you were from another weight loss thread. Are there lots?

I too eat the choc off and then the coconut last. Arghhh.

Have just eaten 3 sticks of celery and 100g of taziki.

fishie · 18/03/2010 21:13

kooks usually eats f&v i think.

what has happened to su? egg salad + unpleasant citizens = face down in trifle?

i have been ill and off exercise and food. am fatter so more exercise is needed.

waitrose sells dear little three tins of mixed med veg, they look so nice. taste shit, do avoid.

CheeeseOnToast · 18/03/2010 22:03

hi everyone.

to whoever asked, I'm 5"2.

Had a night out, so today my food looks like this:

handful (max 20) cheerios
RUN for 2 miles approx
porridge
lunch was ham, cucumber and lettuce with HALF a wholemeal pitta (couldn't not have any as we have loads left)
2x Activia yoghurt (giant red weed flavour ) as they're out of date and had to eat two - I had no choice on this matter...
then three gin and tonics

and now... I'm eating some tomato soup. I know it's late but thought it would be better to eat something than nothing...

was that an ok day?

cyb · 18/03/2010 22:03

su is at late night all- you- can- eat buffet at Pizza Hut

CheeeseOnToast · 18/03/2010 22:48

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 19/03/2010 07:47

Well done Su and BO - 1.25 lbs here - now at 9st2.5 and 7 to go.

Crunchie biscuits somehow entered our house - but have resisted, taking the moral high ground on all dietary matters chez nous.

SuSylvester · 19/03/2010 07:52

porridge - are oyu like 2 inches high or somethin
are oyu inch high private eye?

cocolepew · 19/03/2010 07:54

Buying scales today, prepare for wailing.

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 19/03/2010 08:37

at Su - naw, 5ft 5 but carry all weight on tum and hips so can resemble a weeble.

BariatricObama · 19/03/2010 09:13

get some tissues coco and alot of cornthins!

i haven't even seen a corn thing sounds revolting.

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 19/03/2010 09:14

Woe woe woe.

NO loss at all this week Not a measly pound. Bastard lard likes my body.

BariatricObama · 19/03/2010 09:20

gherkin - it gets harder the more you lose. i am only losing easily cos i am a heifer!

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 19/03/2010 09:28

But Obama - I've only lost 2lbs so far! Am not overweight but at top end of where I should be. might have a run later to cheer myself up.

Thanks for your kind words though!

HumphreyCobbler · 19/03/2010 09:31

I weigh 9 stone 6 today.

12 days ago I weighed 9.13, I am really pleased.

And yes, I am two inches high. To be thin looking I have to weigh eight and a half stone, though I am ok at 8.12.

gerkin - I have only lost so much because I have just started, by the time I have got half a stone to go I am lucky if I shift half a pound in a fortnight.

BariatricObama · 19/03/2010 09:35

god you are all little sylphs maybe i am on the wrong thread. i was 11 11 am now 11 7 need to be 10 4

gherkinwithapurplemerkin · 19/03/2010 09:42

No you are ok Barry. I am 11 4, was 11 6 so pretty similar. 5ft 7 and m'norks alone account for a good stone between them BUT too fat.

Howls

BariatricObama · 19/03/2010 09:43

[kisses gherkin] i am 5 8ish. i have thin legs and shoulders and arms but have comedy barrel effect in between. i am determined to see the other side of 11 st in 4 weeks!

largeginandtonic · 19/03/2010 09:55

Huzzah!!!

I weighed... am 10 stone 10 Have lost 6lbs since Monday.

I have been eating. Don't feel like i have lost a thing. Very pleased.

Well done everyone else.

This is blardy hard though.

isthatporridgeinyourhair · 19/03/2010 09:58

same happens to me gherkers, I plateau some weeks, you just need to keep going.

Well done Humph - must be all that digging!

BO - you can't just leave this thread - it's like the Inferno - you have to go through nine levels of it to get out.

Kryptik · 19/03/2010 10:14

Hi. Can I join in please?

I have ds2's birthday party in 4 weeks and want to get into a size 12 top for that that I have just ordered so I need to be really strict as I have nothing else to wear!

I've been running but have hurt my leg so am out of action for a while.

I'm having porridge for breakfast, soup and ryvita/pitta/slice of toast for lunch and protein and veg for dinner. I have snacks of fruit and yogurt.

BariatricObama · 19/03/2010 10:24

largeg&t whats it like over teh other side of 11?

well done!

HumphreyCobbler · 19/03/2010 10:28

Hey, I am really short. Honestly, it makes such a difference. My DSIS is six inches taller than me and is positively skinny when she weighs ten stone.

I have 30GG cup boobs and am 5'2". It is ridiculous.
