Think there might be something in the air of@Tiredanddistracted

Friday night glass of wine turned into DH making me cocktails.

They were delicious.

I may have just gone for a run with a hangover. Can't say I recommend it 😑

Tiredanddistracted · 10/06/2023 07:37

@effiesgoldwig thank you for your support at this difficult time 😂

I'm not weighing for another week. So I reckon I'll mitigate it. Just annoyed with myself because I was feeling so physically well all week as a result and now I feel like a bag of dicks.

Onward and upward!

@Tiredanddistracted I'm the King of Kiddin. I kid myself I'm being so good, I'm not!

Well, sounds like we all had a Fuck it Friday night. I ate all my calories for the day , despite only having 350 left.It was appalling, I couldn’t stop. And there’s a birthday here today, so massive chocolate cake and dinner reservations. I am the Empress of excess!

TalkToTheHand123 · 10/06/2023 09:14

Hi all, I could be wrong but I feel like I'm doing quite well recently. I've stopped eating so much when I'm in the office and learning to cope better with hunger as I'd rather be hungry and more awake than the bloating and feeling sleepy. I'll just have a banana, orange and a few crackers in my bag now.

I bought a big bag of sausages a couple of days ago though, which are nice but I'm trying to keep reminding myself of the bloating which follows to make me resist purchasing anymore.

I'm back up a little to 17'9" but I finished the super stressy job this week so am now a lady of leisure and salads. A colleague and I celebrated making it to the end of the job with some amazing cocktails on Friday night - there must have been some in the air for us all!

23hol · 10/06/2023 23:47

hi, does anyone have a recommendation for a good free intermittent fasting app please? I want to be able to track my weight (loss hopefully) and hours I’ve fasted. Thanks!

TalkToTheHand123 · 11/06/2023 08:30

Morning all. I decided to weigh myself today as it is my birthday 🎂🎁🍷🎈 so it's easier for a starting point as going to try again to lose weight after being stuck at this weight for a few months now. 14 and a half stone currently.

I have a few ideas to try and time will tell if I can do it. Basically just planning quick and easy healthy meals and having good habits.

I'm going to do a shopping list for tomorrow then get sorted before going out to the pub later 😊.

poorpaws · 11/06/2023 08:40

@TalkToTheHand123 Happy birthday 🥳 🎈🎂.

I hope you have a lovely day and enjoy the pub. Just keep in mine we only have one every year so you are allowed to break all diet rules just for today. I hope your day is fantastic.

Happy birthday @TalkToTheHand123
I've realized I didn't post weight this week..I'm fluctuating between 72 and 70.8...
This week has been tough so I also had a bit of a wine fest on Thursday...but so far avoiding cocktails...my utter downfall.
Today I'm 71.4...not awful but could do better...but of all things...aa a treat to myself I'm going on a bread making course today ..yummy......bread,buns,bread....

thenewaveragebear1983 · 11/06/2023 12:07

Happy birthday @TalkToTheHand123 have a great day

I’ve had an alright few days, although this weekend I haven’t really stuck to my healthy plan and I did drink both Friday and Saturday. I wasn’t going to weigh myself but i’m a glutton for punishment so I did, and I was down 3.5lbs and then a further 1/2 lbs today, so 4 in total. Pleased with that although a bit annoyed that the scales won me over.

Tiredanddistracted · 11/06/2023 12:17

Ok so I've just weighed myself and actually lost a kilo since last week. So I guess... yay vegetables?

Tiredanddistracted · 11/06/2023 12:37

Oh, and happy birthday @TalkToTheHand123 🎂

Zebracat · 12/06/2023 08:45

Ugh 96.5. Up a kilo. I have eaten a lot this weekend though. I’m so annoyed with myself. Please please can we have a boost week?

poorpaws · 12/06/2023 08:47

@Zebracat do you want a boost week starting today? I need one too.

OP posts:
thenewaveragebear1983 · 12/06/2023 08:53

@poorpaws @Zebracat I’m in 🤚 I’m not going to weigh myself but after having a really good strict week last week, the weekend has gone to Party central (woop woop) and I need to capitalise on this week as it’s my optimum (only 🤦‍♀️, bloody perimenopause) weight loss week in my cycle. Combined with a heatwave and not wanted to exercise, and water retention…. So yes! I am in!!

poorpaws · 12/06/2023 08:55

@Tiredanddistracted @thenewaveragebear1983 @Theredjellybean @TalkToTheHand123 @TalkToTheHand123 @23hol @PinkArt @Vebrithien @effiesgoldwig @instantpotnoodle @Oysterbabe @Gigi789 @BeyondMyWits and everyone else (sorry if I've missed out a VIP (very important pawlet) you are all very important but some come and go and I'm not sure who is still on the thread and who isn't.

Boost week starting today anyone?

OP posts:
poorpaws · 12/06/2023 08:57

@thenewaveragebear1983 Yay! Good one, we'll start today. I've had porridge with blueberries (before I knew we were starting) so it's not a bad start.

OP posts:
Zebracat · 12/06/2023 10:48

Thank you yes.. I’m going to defrost or make from scratch some soup for lunch. And encourage the others to finish off the birthday cake.

Gigi789 · 12/06/2023 12:18

Hi ladies 👋 been a tough few days… husband possible prostrate cancer and he’s suddenly got lots of poor health issues which have come all at once…dr apps 3 times and a hospital scan all last week. I’m still at 14/14.01 even though I’ve had a bit a of a biscuit fest 😳I’m happy to give a boost week a go(if we ignore the 3 choc biccies I just finished 😬) big glass of water and low cal wraps with salad and low fat cottage cheese for lunch and I’ll have a small dinner x good luck to all 👍

Theredjellybean · 12/06/2023 12:20

Oh yes ..boost ..good idea but I've just eaten a huge slab of bread...with butter ..
I made it at my course...
So boost from now

poorpaws · 12/06/2023 12:22

@Gigi789 oh my goodness I hope it isn't prostate cancer and he gets well soon, such a worry for you all. Well done for trying a boost week with all the trauma you must be going through. Sending support, a big hug and crossed fingers.

Zebracat · 12/06/2023 13:42

@Gigi789 💐I hope it isn’t that.
@Theredjellybean was it good though? Did you have fun?
I had leftover lasagna for lunch. ‘Twas delicious. Easing myself in…

poorpaws · 12/06/2023 14:11

@Theredjellybean pleased to see you on our boost week, lovely of you to join us. As you know I've been failing magnificently lately but I'm always very committed when it's a boost week so here goes ...
Forget the bread and butter, that didn't happen.

It's magic week here so 15.4 today (97.1 kg)
It's going down steadily.

Had a chicken salad pitta for lunch (plus an apple, a banana, a slice of Mars bar cake and a packet of wotsits) but all within my calorie allowance. I may have to have fresh air for tea though! I desperately want to be under 15 stone by my end of July birthday and I am actually starting to believe I can do it.

On this day in June 2021 I was 18st 10. I have lost 18% of my body weight in 2 years. That's like an entire limb worth of weight. Feeling a little bit proud of myself today. Another half a stone will see me at 4 stone off.

Definitely up for a boost week. Better put the Mars bar cake back in the fridge.
