NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[MamaG]

WelCOME all to the no mercy school of short term dieting.
everyone is doing their own thing wiht amazing results.

remember think when you contemplate hoggery

" eating it wont make me happy"
and vivsualise that perfeectly fitting waistband or long slim legs in the summer.

ah undertone yes the second link works well. That was odd, your second post def wasn't there when I replied.

I dont quite get it though? So the first pie shows the percentage to lose according to target, what does the second one do? Apols, I am extraordinarily rubbish at maths. But sadly, rather good at most things pie-related

Second one treats the whole of the pie as weight to lose - so in this case the second pie represents 62lbs in total. I have lost 6.6lbs of that 62, so the lighter purple slice shows how much I have lost - the 11% our of the 62lb 100% total. Does that make sense?

It just makes the light purple slice look bigger

every time I see the word pie I think steak and ale

Oh, look at that. According to NHS I am actually 5ft 3 not 5ft0 as I have always though. I put in 160cm.

Bit shocked at how high my BMI is tbh. Jeez. I have to get down to 65kg to even be at the top end of healthy.

Went for a run but it was a bit hard going today. Will have a break tomorrow, think I have been doing too much. Still managed 3km mostly running.

Drinking lots of water today. That should help.

Geordie how did the interview go?

No pie talk on here thank you or Su's alarm might sound.

Brek: (low carb)cooked brek - resisted toast and hash browns [determined]
Snack: brazil nuts
Lunch: granola yogurt and strawberries
Dinner: ham and egg salad

Feeling bunged up so hoping for some er movement later today ahead of weigh in [nervous]

I think cheese and onion.
Then apple.
Then mince.

AA et Mme, I'm a kilo kinda gal too. And I ain't for changing, no matter what those stuck in the dark ages Brits think.

I'd be happy to shift just a couple of kilos.

It's my witching hour and I slipped (KLAXON ALERT). Instead of throttling dd whilst she was being precious about a bloody Cleopatra outfit, I found the calming effect of a miniature flat Father Christmas did the job. Oh and a coke.

Really well thanks - it was for a more juniour role than I have had in past but I wasnt that bothered as first job in 3 years, but he thinks they might have management role for me, and are flexible re hours/pay.

Fingers crossed!

Have had 3 jaffa cakes, 1 coffee and 5 cigs today

warm water and lemon great for constipation - I struggle to go twice a week on diet so have it fisrt thing, managedc to go every day this week... miricale for me!

ah thanks undertone, yip I think I get it. Might do one for myself over the weekend, once I weigh in tomorrow.

Just eaten a three-egg omelette with small amount of grated cheddar and bacon. Won't eat now until probably a snackette at 10pm so needed something to get me through. it was delicious, and am I right in thinking pretty low-carb?

Becauseimworthit thanks. Will have a look.

Sounds carb-free to me, cheeese.

Bonnie - yep prawn away. v low points (1 for 8 prawns I think)

Undertone I don't understand your chart but you do make me laff.

Ok bloke I work with sighed when I told him I'd put on a pound, he says you don't notice until 10 days I don't know if he was talking shite but he trained as a PE teacher and has been a personal trainer, do I decided I will.

Talking of shite, friends told me off for weighting myself pre poo, but I couldn't do it apres poo because I was dressed and I would have felt a little desperate undressing again.

No Double Deckers so far but am having a chinese (not a whole one I share with DDs). I'll go for a walk after because I had 2 -cupcakes today I'm super healthy and walk past the spar

IME weight loss or gain usually lags about a week behind.

Which is why you need to keep in the zone.

And not be smug if you don't gain after a couple of days of eating cake.

thats encouraging mrsjuan. i have been in a zone within the zone and nothing... will shut up now before i bore everyone even more with my whinging!

Cheeseontoast, your chart is from a site that sells weight loss products, hence it is trying to tell everyone they are overweight.

oh oh oh and I bought new linen trousers from M&S and they're a little bit big
[smashes scales]

Good detective work, Chandon. Makes sense.

Just over 5KM we walked - which I think is around 3ish miles! Didnt even realise as it was so enjoyable, managed to get some sunshine too - and home before the rain started. feel all virtuous now. wont last, but still.

I KNEW IT I KNEW IT

I knew no good could come of me weighing myself

Today at work I snuck the scales that the school nurse uses to weigh the children into a loo cubicle. I removed converse (navy blue) jeans (GAP curvy) and belt (tan leather big silver buckle)

ANYHOO

Now I feel crap. I thought I was lighter than that

Humph

Well done Hills. Cyb - bet those scales are duff! Ignore them and stay in the zone...

Remember Cyb - first thing in the morning after a poo standing on one leg and leaning on the sink is the only way to get your true weight, so cheer up!

yes i guess so...I just stupidly hoped I might be tickling 11 stone rather than 11 1/2

I wish I was tickling 11 1/2.
And you're taller than me...so take heart.
