NOTHING TASTES AS GOOD AS BEING SLIM FEELS

[VoulezVouzCrochezAvecJACK]

Sorry. I think I killed the last one.

I have done 100 sit ups in penance.
Please forgive me.

I am Jack
Jack is fat
But not much longer

Was 17 4
Now 16 1

As you were.

Well, I've got an aga, so I just shove it in there...erm, until it's done.

If you follow the instructions on the packet for oven baking it will be okay.

I think probably about 15-20 minutes. You don't need to turn it.

Thanks bobs

I'm thinking of changing my name to something slightly more diet-friendly. Something like CheeeseonRye? I'm tempted by BabyCheeesus or something but am having an imagination underdrive at the moment. Anyone have any ideas?

god you aga people are insufferable...

QuarkOnWholegrain?
CottageCheeseOnRyvita?
ExtraLowFatPhillyOnCelery?

Don't have the same ring.

Was 15 6 (beginning of March)
Now 14 4
2lbs in last week - mainly due to trimming out an extra 150 cals or so/day, I reckon - switched from Special K to Weetabix, jacked-in the Snack a Jacks.

Daily:
3 x weetabix (no sugar/sweetener), 350ml skimmed milk
2 x wholegrain bread slices + 100g lean ham/chicken + tbsp pickle
Apple
Bag o' salad + 2 tomatoes + 125g low-fat cottage cheese + 150g lean chicken/beef/ham + gallons of balsamic/wine vinegar

I will cease to be 'obese' BMI when I reach 13 9. Only 9lbs to go. Desperate to do it by mid-June.

/update

Well done all you losers!

Too much to rememeber everything but Happy Biffday for tomorrow Buda!
About to have smoked mackerel salad for lunch, I looooooove smoked mackerel but I get through shitloads.
Been to playgroup and was on toast duty. About 30 slices of hot buttered toast passed through my hands and not ONE slice did I biff. I rock.

What about
CheeseOnNothing? Protein and no carbs, always good.

Nice one Jack. Just reading the words "hot buttered toast" has made a bit of saliva come into my mouth.

Aitch - I know. Smug gits, we are

Yes, but... so salty. butter, bread. Salty salty salty. Bleeurgh.

Nice one Jack.

I looked at all my clothes this morning and realised that although they were all shit and I had nothing to wear, obviously, I could actually wear anything and be comfortable and not look that fat. Result!

I'm a sheep.
At the end of October I weighed 14.9
Today I weigh 9.13
Am now stuck in pesky place of maintaining. Have gotten down to 9.10 but I htink I will struggle to maintain that. I am loitering around the 9.12-10.2 mark, but thats fine as long as my clothes fit I guess.
I just had my electric bill and I'm wondering how the hell it is less this quarter, despite taking delivery of a rather marvellous, life changing, and now much over-used tumble dryer in January. The mind truly boggles.

What did you do? How did you do it? Pleeeese tell me you did it through exclusively eating crisps?

smallishsheep, that is amazing.

Well done, you.

small, an amazing achievement! Wowzers

I did the Idiot Proof Diet. It's the link that broke the last thread
Basically it's low carb, but a doable low carb. I'm eating normally now and maintaining. I haven't been near a gym or exercise DVD, and my only exercise is walking but I cover a lot of ground during the day, drop dd at school, strap ds in the buggy, and away we go. I ran after dd last weekend, properly ran, and wasn't breathless, and it felt amazing. I am thinking of taking up running but can't really get a babysitter
I don't think it really matters what method you use to lose weight. Was having a bit of a deep think when I was walking this morning, and came to the conclusion that the one thing the diet industry doesn't package and sell is self belief. You can buy and try every damn diet in the world, but if you do it half heartedly it will do you no good at all. The difference this time was that I had had enough being fat and I knew it was down to me to change. The weight wasn't just going to fall off. So I started the diet, got about 3 days in and caved and gorged on chocolate. Then I felt really fed up at myself and thought 'that was such a stupid bloody thing to do, what did it achieve?', got right back on the wagon, and have kept going since. Before I had ds I was 12 stone and a size 14. never weighed myself as I didn't want to know, but that was what I weighed when I had my tonsils out 4 months before getting pregnant. I was aiming to get back to 12 stone, but I knew I wasn't really comfortable at that weight, but at least all my old clothes would fit. When I got to 12 stone, I just kept going. If you'd told me last year that I could be a comfortable size 10 I would have been depressed as hell because I had no self confidence of self belief. But here I am.
Epic post. But, for one day only, I will be giving out free self belief to anyone who asks

Yes, we can!

Cor blimey sheep that's fab.Well done you.

I am still 10st10 but that's fine, hoping to shed another lb next week though. Swimming in a bit before sch run.

Am online looking for Pocohnotas costume for PTA barn dance. Have been volunteered to get (mahoosive) tits oot for the lads spo they will buy tickets. All ebay costumes either indecent or Pocohontas's Nan. Not got time to make.

hear hear Smallish!

you are dead right though

once you start to see results and get your head in the right place, self sabotage becomes impossible. Also realising its only eating too much food that got you here, not kids, work, family whatever. TOO MUCH FRIGGIN FOOD

I still can't believe how few folk have noticed that I've lost about a stone though

Cyb - me too. 10lbs off and no fecker has noticed. Bastards, all.

cyb, I told you on the other thread. four fucking stone before anyone said a word. ANd then, in the space of about a week it went from 'ooo have you lost some weight' to a full out 'my, are you eating??'
People are just veh unobservant or afraid of offending I think. I am amazed at how much more acceptable people think it is to comment on my size now than it was when I was fat tbh. Makes me very uncomfortable. I'd never appreciated just how much venom there is going spare for slim women

Well done that smallishsheep!

I do have that Idiot book. Have most diet books to be honest! I must hunt it out again.

Very hungry today for some reason. Had my turkey before Tesco so not tempted by crap. Did Tesco. Bought fresh white bread to have toasted tomorrow for breakfast - yum. Was tempted to cut some for lunch as it won't be fresh tomorrow but resisted. Don't want bread bloated tum going out tonight.

Have been nibbling on grapes. Then had a bowl of beef, veg and bean stew left over from last night for lunch. Still hungry so had some veg tortilla chips with hummus and more grapes and a cup of tea.

Just about to take dog out for another walk. She has op later so won't get a walk for a week or so after I think. She is currently sulking at me because I can't give her lunch because of op later. Normally sleeps beside me while I am on here but has taken herself off outside with her blankie!

Small, awesome See ladies what a little bit of determination and staying power can do?

NOW STEP AWAY FROM THOSE THOUGHTS OF TOAST BUDA.

You've got a Tesco's?

Oh and fish for me tonight, dip it in flour mixed with teaspoon of ground cumin, coriander, paprika and cayenne, lightly fry (can't get away from that bit I'm afraid) for vvvv short time and serve with couscous with a hint of lemon.
Followed by chocolate mousse grapes.

Small, you rock.

I do rock. I do.

This self belief thing is rather fab you know. There's so much I hadn't realised I was allowing to hold me back. Now I have self confidence I do admit I am far more direct with people and far more driven. I also do have an unnerving ability to talk myself into thinking I'm fabulous before heading off on a night out . It's so nice to go out and enjoy myself rather than spend all evening being the miserable fatty in the corner, worrying that people were looking at me.
Mission accomplished people. And every single person on this thread deserves to feel that way too.
