OK, during the last thread I managed to lose the grand total of...nothing in fact I am a few pounds up [sigh]

Have lost maybe an inch from bust waist and hips so that is something I guess, but I will not be in the same position at the start of the next thread. Sazz Someone give me a stern talking to

Why were you nervous lovely? Is she moving from CM to nursery?

Hurrah Oops, well done you . I managed normal jeans after 2 weeks, although as DD1 was only 5.5lbs i hadn't expanded too far in the first place!

No exercise here tonight, i have a headache and Location is on. I have still done 4 this week so not all bad

hotterpotter · 11/06/2010 08:17

Oh feckity feckity feck I am still the same

Have done three shreds, two swims plus two days of packing/unpacking car and walking loads whilst camping and alright I did drink too much wine again but thought I might have gone down a bit

Still I won't give up but hope for double loss next week. Not looking good for losing a stone by the end of July...

Feck too here hots as i am the same also ..

i have completed 35km, 200 crunches and leg exercises and cleaned the house from top to bottom... reason dd2 1st full day of nursery today .. she will only be going one day a week on a friday.. but she didn't do so well at her last phase in yesterday so am waiting with a nervous tummy to get the call..

hence the manic morning.. must keep busy!!!

CrispyTheCrisp · 11/06/2010 12:28

-1.25lb here today

Am 0.25lb off 10 stone. I even tried moving the scales around the bathroom to see if i could shift it that way

DD's eating lunch and i am starving, but going to shred when they go to nap. walked 3 miles this morning but no swim this avo as getting hair cut instead. Should have the same effect on weight loss

luckoftheirish · 11/06/2010 13:43

well done crispy!!!!

CrispyTheCrisp · 11/06/2010 13:46

Thankyou

Just shredded 13/30 - Level 3. . Tucking into tuna & sweetcorn pitta, tis delicious

LadyGaGardenia · 11/06/2010 16:39

Sorry for throwing my toys out of the pram laydeez I remain fed up but relentlessly au wagon. Thank you for being so pleasant instead of telling me to shut the feck up and get on with it.

Ran 5K, walked dogs about 2 miles, ate no brekker, no lunch, drank a lot of water, ate a lot of monkey nuts going out to dinner with just dp (rare) tonight.

Re. reintroducing bread etc I'm not sure I could actually stomach the very carby stuff again, but perhaps I need to be a bit more organised about food. Also looked at my bank statement and I am spending a fecking fortune on food so I also want to regroup a bit, only spend in the supermarket / market as budgeted, buy less, buy more cheaply. Why can't I be more like TS about money? I am crap. Hence never have bean.

Do you know I have a slight confession to make - I have slightly, I think, in the back of my mind, or in my subconscious, or in my dreams, or in my daydreams, or somewhere unacknowledged, been thinking, if I get pregnant again I'm back to square one so this isn't really IT, there will be a point where I have to do this AGAIN. I think there is a slight touch of that. Not that I haven't been committed - I have totally revolutionised my approach to exercise in the last 6-9 months. Delighted with that. Less delighted with actual body though. Though I put on a Gap dress (v heavy jersey) today which is waaaay too big at the hip, it sticks out like a bustle on me. I remember it fitting maybe at Christmas, I think I wore it on C Day actually. Dunno why the scales don't paint a prettier picture though. Anyway I am still wearing the dress.

A great result for you my darling Sazz, you could be in single figures next week!!

Well done on good exercise records pots and loti.

Am still wailing internally btw .

hotterpotter · 11/06/2010 17:24

VG I keep thinking that getting pregnant will be my salvation because I won't be drinking so it would be easier to stick to a healthyish diet with fewer temptations I do realise the fact I cannot seem to give up alcohol otherwise is not really the best reason for trying to get up the duff

Well done sazz and commiserations loti, still you must have muscles of iron by now and abs of steel

CrispyTheCrisp · 11/06/2010 21:34

Oh you Ladies . I do think that now i know there will be no more DC's that i HAVE to do it now. Or it will be never. I can really see how, if you think there may be more on the cards that there is not the same incentive. I think you both would be brilliant with 3 Dc's and that is worth more than a size 10 if it is what your heart desires

Hope the meal is lovely tonight Lady, and the fab news is that you have a little extra room in your dress for the chocolate pud. No denials of nice stuff please when you are on a rare night out

Hots, you do realise you can still eat trifle when pregnant . well as long as you don't go quite as heavy as my mother on the sherry

hotterpotter · 11/06/2010 21:44

Sazz you are a darling

OP posts:
LadyGaGardenia · 12/06/2010 07:41

I second that

Oops I seem to have missed out your very sweet compliment to me, it's really v. kind of you to say that & I appreciate it muchly.

Oh dear darlings all round really .

Nice dinner, I had smoked salmon, orange sorbet, monkfish with spinach & mushrooms & a salad, then some cheese and instead of pudding a glass of dessert wine which probably had as much sugar as the puds did!

hotterpotter · 13/06/2010 11:14

Already broken my own rule of not posting on here every day That must be ther reason I ate far too much of the wrong stuff yesterday... Did counter the food with some serious house cleaning so not all bad, and now unday brekker is scoffed am back on the straight & narrow until next Friday night.

Sazz I hope you shiners had a good time sitting round nibbling carrot sticks and drinking mineral water

VG your dinner sounds delish, and not exceptionally calorific. If your clothes are getting way looser then surely it doesn't matter what the scales say? Hope you are feeling a bit more positive today

Loti hope you are having a good weekend

Oops yay! for no more maternity jeans

dizzydixies · 13/06/2010 18:30

LadyGaGardenia · 13/06/2010 23:15

Just to say am here and am here with intent.

OK weekend no proper exercise though plenty of walking, going back to India Knight for the next few weeks to kick start something here.

luckoftheirish · 14/06/2010 07:18

as you were ladies

dizzydixies · 14/06/2010 07:42

Here too & glad to announce legs haven't abandoned me after 5mile stomp yesterday & hip calmed down overnight. GP this morning so hoping for all clear, really missing my wee old lady gym though

LadyGaGardenia · 14/06/2010 07:52

I read that as "missing my old lady wee" and thought, that's hardly likely.

OK Day 1 of India Knight here, see me shrink, see those clothes hang off me.

5 miles is a fab walk, dizz, glad your hip ok.

Lotster great incentive to look your fabulousest in your skimpy sexy outfit!

This week let's make it the first one for ages in which WE ALL LOSE TOGETHER.

luckoftheirish · 14/06/2010 10:45

Just taken dd2 swimming so lots of leg work carried out!! Also did 100 crunches and leg exercises. Now just have to bike a bit if/when she naps!

dizzydixies · 14/06/2010 10:58

sitting discussing whether or not to go swimming today, I fear that what is left in my purse may not cover it though, roll on pay day tomorrow!!

luckoftheirish · 14/06/2010 13:24

dd2 slept!! so managed 30km and 200 crunches with my little leg exercises!!! now all i have to do is eat properly!!

CrispyTheCrisp · 14/06/2010 19:58

weekend food and drink shite, lunch out and cake today

Have swum today and a pilates class but i fear i will may not be losing with you this week. Sorry

Well done LOTI on the biking and crunches and glad the hip holding up Dizz. Go Lady go, hope India does the trick

LadyGaGardenia · 14/06/2010 20:28

Sazz you are famous for being able to self-discipline post-blow-out so I am confident you will get back on track!

How was your Shiney meet-up? Fun, I hope

Here's a nice recipe for cod if you like cod:

Get cod
Place on foil
Soy sauce, shredded ginger, shredded spring onion, mincey garlic, sesame oil put on top, salt n peppa if you like
Wrap foil up around it
Steam
Eat

I had with green beans tossed with toasty almonds v v nice but ds2 was like this at his portion.

CrispyTheCrisp · 14/06/2010 20:57

Ha Lady, yes i am normally good but i am feeling very bloated post AF so not sure what is going on. Plus last Friday's weight was a new low for me, so more difficult to 'beat' IYSWIM?

Cod recipe sounds fab Lady, i really must buy more fresh fish

Meet was good fun, but very, very tired after copious amounts of alcohol and a 2.30am bedtime

hotterpotter · 14/06/2010 22:36

Shredded today 10/30, level 1 again will try level 2 tomorrow and Wednesday. Good re food apart from some garlic bread with tea but I didn't have any lunch so hoping that'll balance out...

OP posts:
LadyGaGardenia · 15/06/2010 10:19

Shredded when should have been working. Didn't feel remotely like it this morning so glad I whupped my own ass to to it though it has given me a headache I think!

Come on shredders and losers.
