NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[CheeeseOnToast]

New thread, old one too big.

Go!

at the turn this thread has taken! I do NOT expect to see gnocchi and smoked almonds on here.

Dinky, I thought there were no mice on earth who could resist peanut butter. Maybe your mouse knows it's allergic and is holding back? Chocolate biscuit? Nutella??

BO eeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwww that is going to work for me!

omg
he would slobber wouldn't he

I gave up smoking years ago but sometime crave one

I still smoke

Only at night when DD's are in bed, it is my 5 minutes quiet time when I go from Mummy to Jack.

DD up at half 5 on her day off, grrrr. Must be good today, pasta bake for everyone else, stiry fry for me. Have susoup in the fridge and might go for run later too
Aquacise tonight.

duckym nowt wrong with glass wine, I haven't given up alcohol, small handful nuts bit naughty though, but protein naughty at least!

Aitch, seen this?

That thread made me howl with laughter.

Fags, chocolate, meringues? Bloody hell. Stop biffing you lot - think days on the beach and in the park and not to have a roll of wobbling white flab around your midriff.

Still in the zone despite being tempted. Need to make DS's birthday cake today and buns for school so my metal will be tested. Might lick the bowl.

it is ridiculous. i have indulged in stealth biffing all week and was 11 4 yesterday i reigned it back in adn am now 11 3 again. i need to concentrate!

Fags are not biffage!

No chocolate or meraingues though, I am positively saintly.

No baking been done for 3 weeks, DD1 is asking if she can do some as she is off school today...luckily I have a tub of 'ready made biscuit dough' which looks vile, so she can make that!

PEOPLE SMOKE ON THIS THREAD

omg sotp - its so commmon and lets face it you REEK

LOL here too at where Noddy's compliment had her end up.

I have been suffering a goal related angst that I now see is complacency. Had post dinner bowl of cereal last night. Absolutely par for the course pre-diet greedy nonsense. And there was other badness I shan't relate.

I don't want to be a pig in a blanket

I don't currently have a premiere, video shoot or film role to inspire me to get real. I got real. I was down to 9 7 for my mum's party and now I feel a bit sad, rootless and whiney and resent the notion of hunger now I am there. Is this really it?

I know this is a high class problem but even if there's stones to go before goal, this could bite us all in the arse at some point.

The bottom line is, I am confused about what to eat. I don't feel like eating what I ate when I was trying to lose weight which is dubious, isn't it?. This cereal thing... ok or not? Don't allow?

God, what an outpouring. I tell you what though, getting back to the gym today to do tthat circuit will be a wake up. Been a week or more what with work and ting since I've really crunched about in the middle. I do find when I'm aware of having worked that area I am more mindful in general.

It's not PEOPLE.
It's me.

Don't make me give up all my vices at once

When I say 'notion of hunger' I mean 'feeling hungry' [ponceometer explosion]

ERGGGH stop it its so scummy

right i spent at least a month being hungry all the time

dEAL with it.
off to court
laters

Have fun!

You are allowed to shout at me if I biff, but this is not a no smoking thread so fark off

Dukes, I am not hungry. I would not be able to cope with being hungry.
I am eating but grapes, kiwis, oranges etc. And witha big glass of water to go with (theoretically anyway) If I think I am hungry and then check the time and think, right, if I am still feeling 'hungry' in 15 mins I will get some food. Then I find that I am maybe not that hungry after all IYSWIM.

Cereal prob not best thignt to eat, depending what it is, but most are sugary empty carbs, no? A big orange is good, takes ages to peel and eat, or even a half corn on the cob (no butter natch) is a good snack, and very filling.

Hi all.

LOL at goal achieved angst and complacency. Some of us have a LONG way to go to goal.

DS still feeling sorry for himself. Tears and moans yesterday after school as he was so bored. Everything I suggested was boring. So I left him to it and he fell asleep on the sofa at 5 and slept till 6.30. So DH said he could stay up to watch football but he only lasted first half and then followed me up to bed. I was shattered last night for some reason. Am popping vitamins at the moment with a big glass of water. Hoping that might help. Been tired all week.

Stomach seems to be finally returning to its normal flabby state rather than the 7 months PG hard lump it has been since Monday.

Need some inspiration/advice. Am going to a ball on 29th this month. 3 weeks to go. Want to lose as much as possible and tone up as much as possible in that time. How?

Diet wise am basically not eating crap - anything made with flour or sugar. Also no rice or potatoes.

Exercise wise am just walking.

Buda - do Ossom's 30 day shred - is meant to be done as 20 minute session daily and will tone you up definitely (Porridge is doing it - I've done one of the 30 days so far as do other exercise and am buggered if am exercising twice or three times a day - that way insanity lies - but doing day 2 tomorrow - but is a good mini circuits class). Combine that with your healthy eating and you'll drop the poundage like no ones business but keep an eye on your portion sizes. Sorry DS is feeling sad and angsty - honestly his finger will be tonnes better within a week and he'll be able to do some stuff again.

Duke - enjoy your circuits class today. Did pilates this morning and have body combat at lunchtime today and cant wait. Period finally started today so am looking v swollen with water retention but at least the pre-period biffing has stopped. WW recommend that, when you reach goal, you up your calorie intake a little bit - go up a few points in their terminology - so you can treat yourself abit but otherwise stick on the straight and narrow so you dont fall into the old habits that you had that landed you in the biffer clothes in the first place. I think the being good 70% of the time and biffing a little 30% of the time rules well for maintainers - or the being Kate Moss during the week and Dawn French over the weekend approach. Also now you've hit your weight goal, you need a new goal - if you like exercise, how about reducing your body fat percentage (by upping your muscle mass percentage) - will have you looking toned AND svelte by the summer?

Dinky thank you! That's it. That is a great idea for a goal.

My body fat is a mahoosive 37.8%. I'll aim for 30% by end of month.

Dinky I'm interested in the Ossum 30 day shred thing - where can I find it? Is it an online series of videos or do I have to buy something?

I have a pilates class at lunchtime, and I'll vote on the way there. Might squeeze in a run after pilates if I'm feeling virtuous.

I ordered the 30 day shred from amazon . Only 6 quid and free postage. But now it's here it is staring at me in a judgey way.
I hate exercise. And I have a feeling my downstairs neighbour will hate it even more but I need to tone up. I have 29% body fat, but the depressing thing is although I've lost 5 stone it's only made a 5% difference in fat . So I am small but wobbly. How attractive

Is just one dvd Cheese - you can get it on amazon as sheep did. Yes jumping around prob not great for neighbour relations but is only 20 minutes of pain a day. You just actually have to do it daily. That's where I'm falling down. Enjoy your pilates and run Cheese.

Glad have helped you find a new goal Dukes. I'd aim for 30% by the end of next month and ultimate goal is to get it between 20 and 15% (which is the ideal range for women) as takes a while for the fat to be converted to muscle - but you will notice a huge difference in your shape as it happens.

DO you mean 25% dinky? 15 would be scarily low

I bought two pairs of jeans from Dorothy P online last week, they've just arrived. One in a size 10, one in a 12. I don't even know which one - if any - I'll be able to get in. Will report back....

is dukes jennifer aniston? i am getting confused.

i've dropped a couple of pounds and am now plateauing again, as per.

The ideal range for women is between the scarily low 15% and 20%. I'm at 16.5% at the moment - aiming to get it nearer to 15% but no lower.

Bet you get in the 10s Cheese.

Aitch - Dukes is formerly Zonearmatrading and formerly Toots. Who was Jennifer Aniston???
