2014 weight loss challenge

Haha! Very strange! :D

Yes, I'm very pleased with the 2lbs off. Another 2 this week will do me although it's OH's birthday on Thursday and he wants an Indian takeaway. I've been working out my points for the week though so I can stay within my allowance :rolleyes:

Impressed with ur planning - isn't it great that we can work in a takeaway - enjoy it!
 
Thanks, think I might feel guilty while eating it though lol! Yes it's amazing and I will be amazed if I still lose weight this week after it! :D

No guilt req'd as u'll be having it on plan - but know what u mean it still feels naughty (but nice)!

Oh KMD thank you thank you from the bottom of my heart for all of that info ! I will def follow your recipe to the dot ! Thanks sooo much ! Oh I'd love to see your creations - please do ! Do you put the mix in two tins - or did you mean cut one in half ? Huge thanks again ! Oh and one other thing - does it need to go in the fridge if it has philli in it ? Sounds awesome !! Is it better to bake the cake the day before icing it all ? Sorry for the millions of questions x

You're more than welcome!! :) I personally put the mixture in one deep 8" loose bottomed pan and then split in half and fill. But it's really whatever works for you. I know many who do it in 2 tins and that do it in 1. It's all down to personal preference. Whatever you do, don't put it in the fridge once you have covered it in icing! :) The condensation and coolness in the fridge will make your icing extremely sticky and if you have any decorations on it the colours will run (learnt from my 1st ever wedding cake, most stressful experience ever! How I ever made another cake again I don't know! haha) I always make my cakes with the cream cheese frosting and they are more than happy to be left out for 1 or 2 or even 3 days. I'm no scientist but it's something to do with bacteria not liking sugar. If I was in a warmer country I would probably have my reservations but no worries about it being boiling in england at this time of year! (Unfortunately!) If it was in summer and very hot I would just make with the usual marg and icing sugar. It would be best if you baked the cake the day before you want to ice it. This gives it plenty of time to cool and also means it's not as crumbly when you slice it in half (if you only use one cake tin) I don't mind the questions at all! Ask away :) So funny we're discussing cake on a dieting forum hehe! I've attached a couple of my creations, although can't work out how to rotate the correct way up!. Stork is the best although I have used both that and just a basic bog standard supermarket brand marg. Just whatever you can afford will do lovely :) xx
 
Allo, well done on losses!

I was extremely naughty last night, hubby came home with cream eggs and mini eggs and I scoffed!

Praying I can claw it back again now. All planned out on MFP and under 1200 cals before exercise cals so not going to eat any back and hope that a couple of days undereating will balance out.

I blame the witch as she is due Weds! lol
 
Huge thanks again KMD ! Wow your cakes look amazing ! I will post a pic of Darcey's once it's done :)
Joanne your mums cake is lovely too ! Can't believe that was your first attempt ! Clever ladies both of you !
Well done on the losses posted ! We are having some lovely spring weather here the past few days (I'm nr Edinburgh) it helps with the motivation, I think ! Have a great day everyone x
 
I have lost 3.4lbs this week so pretty happy but still not to lost more to get off the 7lbs I put on last week

thats still a great loss, well done!!

well done sammy too, you're doing great!

that sounds like my other half, always bringing tasty things into the house!!

i broke my pact not to weigh til weigh day and i was a pound up which put me in a bad mood lol. i really am doing this half heartedly at the minute-i would love to be in the positiion where i know how much food my body needs and what i can get away with, so that i can make semi-sensible choices, but i don't think i'm there yet. getting annoyed with counting/tracking/weighing or whatever it is i end up doing, its so frustrating. though in a few days i'll be back on it and as motivated as ever probably lol.

hope everyone is having a good week-all these cake pictures are so lovely!!!!
 
just reposting as my loss said 8lb and it should be 9lb and i need to cling onto every pound i can lol

Hi - good luck with WIs this week everyone - 3lbs off for me this week - I've updated the list.

Too right - u've worked hard for that 1lb!! How's ur week going?

Exactly, every single bit of a pound counts at this stage lol.

I'm ok, I suffer depression and it's generally quite well controlled, but around totm hormones are up the left so I've been feeling rotten. Food wise I picked it up after a bit of a naughty weekend, so would love a pound to get me broke into the tens! I'm feeling impatient at the minute, but I've lost nine pounds, even though it's slow, if I was doing bigger all I know I could very easily have gained nine pounds, and then some, so trying to get perspective!

Hope you are having a good week, we are having nice weather at the minute, so it's kinda making me crave the right foods, which is nice!
 
Btw, this is pure nosiness it does anyone know why a couple of names near the start of the list have asterisks beside them? I only just noticed bt now I'm curious lol

TOTM is a tough time mentally as well as the physical side - but u'll feel better soon I'm sure.
I'm lucky I have a patient hubby or else we'd have parted years ago!

Yes u've done well with the 9lbs - and the weather does help our mood and salads are more attractive than in deep winter! I'm doing ok at the mo - long may it last!
 
Well done to all those with losses this week. I will be praying to the diet god for stay the same. With no exercise for nearly a week after coming off my bike and a weekend with friends the diet god would just laugh at me if I asked for a loss!

Light thoughts tomorrow morning
