Chunky Dunking, taking the plunge and losing the flab!

[scarlet79]

Don't ask. Joined a class last night and turns out my scales at home are big fibbers!! Still I have a starting point now and am focused. I wish I could pop a pill and watch it all melt away but that would mean not getting on the scales and beating the mr every week at weigh in (she hopes) xx

Always here if you need support, or a good kick up the bum, you do it often enough for me! Oh that's an incentive right there, beating the Mr!! Have you got a new diary or anything?

Thank you lovely. I need a good a** kicking from time to time and I think going to class will motivate me. I love shiny stickers on my wi card so I need to stop being so rubbish and get some bling! My new diary is here http://www.minimins.com/weight-watchers-food-diaries/342324-my-challenge-lose-10st-15-months.html if you want to know where to find me so you can give me said a** kicking :-D

When I did ww before I joined with my sister and we had a healthy competition going on between us. I lost over 4 stone doing the pro points and only stopped going because I got pregnant and you're not allowed to weigh. Then I lost the baby and moved away from the class so here I am joining another class after half arsing sw for months. I really want to get on the scales every week and have lost more than the mr cos I'm a bad person lol xx

STS. Eurgh. Expected but doesn't lessen the blow. I will be 100% from here, I have too many nice things coming up to feel like sh*t about myself, momentary goodies like Chinese will not feel as good as achievement, I just need to be reminded of this when I'm craving a huge bowl of it is all!

Breakfast: Green shake
Lunch: Bran flakes, strawberries, raisins and milk
Dinner: Jacket potato (again) with chicken and bacon mayo and a side of rocket and spinach.

I seem to be doing SO well at work and the moment I get home it's like I just can't get my head into it

If you figure out how to stop yourself eating Chinese by saying things like this won't feel as good as being thin feels pleeeeease tell me how to do it too? A STS is what it is. Could have been worse and could have been better. But young lady looking at your food for today you don't seem to be eating an awful lot especially with the exercise you do x

Ha I'll tell you, but I don't think I'll be figuring it out anytime soon!
I thought that too, I definitely feel like I'm eating less, but according to the BMR/MFP I should only be eating 1100 calories a day to lose 1-2lbs a week, I'm trying to find a balance with it but I'm getting a bit confused, might just go back to blinking SW, at least it worked for me.

[scarlet79]

I feel hungry just thinking about 1100 cals! That can't be right can it with the exercise you do? Not that I'm an expert clearly lol

SW did work for you maybe read your books and have a think of all the yummy stuff you used to eat and enjoy doing it. One of the girls on here has lost loads fo weight since August doing SW but had a three week break and is going to rejoin class after doing it at home cos she lost her love of the plan. Back to basics might be the way to go? xx

Admittedly I didn't take exercise into the equation, so I'm probably due a couple hundred more!
I just have such an issue with some of the SW things, I'd so love to do it with just clean eating, I have a friend who is a nutritionist and she's adamant SW isn't all it's cracked up to be, I might try and combine the 2, although with green juices etc I'll be wasting most of my syns on them!

[scarlet79]

Yeah there's a bit that's way off with the sw plan. It can't be right that yoghurts for instance are free and the mug shots etc haven't got a natural ingredient in them. It's finding what's the right one for you and adding willpower to it. Not easy but at least we're trying eh? Xx

Went a little off plan last night, but not as bad as could be, had chicken, mash, peas and gavy and a few prawn crackers, probably not within my Syns but had a night to myself and really didn't feel like going grocery shopping and it was that or a takeaway!

Have taken my green tea today, me and Boy have sorted the fridge and freezer out (chucking out anything that was old, unhealthy etc) and am in the middle of doing an Ocado shop. I may fail slightly but at least I'm keeping trying, which is better than I've done in the past.
My house is free from all bad stuff other than a couple of America bits (which is all the bits left that nobody really wants) and I've got my nutritionist friend coming over after work on Monday to go through my fridge and cupboard and help with a mini overhaul.

[scarlet79]

Your meal last night was way lower in syns than a takeaway would have been so well done you choosing the healthier option. Just been to asda cos we were running low on healthy stuff. It's easier to be good when there's healthy stuff to have I'm a bugger for thinking ah there's nothing in let's order out instead xx

Oh me too, it's just so easy, especially in this heat, as soon as I turn the oven on I'm like "screw this!"
Just done 5 mins on the cross trainer, SO unfit, used to be able to do 20 without stopping, the last 3 were a push! Eurgh, wish I'd never have stopped, going to be so hard to get back into!

With me it's weekends and being the only one who cooks. My oh is so old fashioned when it comes to housework and cooking that he doesn't even make toast so I get fed up of being chained to the cooker and pick up a menu! We're our own worst enemies. 5 mins is better than none and you're good with it usually so you'll get your fitness back in no time xx

Oh how rubbish, bet he'd soon change his mind if you stopped cooking and getting take out!!

[scarlet79]

If I refuse to cook he gets the menu or tries to make me feel bad by saying he will go next door to his mums for food. Good job he's got some good points apart from the apron strings lol xx

Good morning!

Feeling so shattered today, we've just had new neighbours move in and there's so much noise! With that, the heat and the dogs, I'm running on very little sleep!

Having a liquid diet day today, we've planned to have one every Sunday (or try at least)
Breakfast was a fruit smoothie with added spinach, acai powder and fibre husks
Lunch will be chicken soup
Dinner will be either leftover chicken soup of a nice vegetable soup

And screw it if I'm hungry later I'll be having some toast! But shh.

I'm starting a new hobby today too, which is always exciting, going to be decorating shoes
XxX

 

[scarlet79]

Ooh what kind of shoes are you decorating? I might need your services for wedding shoes

Good luck with the liquid diet (and possible secret toast) I couldn't do it so I admire your willpower. Love chicken soup or a bit of mushroom soup. Nom nom xx

Heels, I wanted a pair from Etsy but they were about £140, and I thought...I can probably do that! Maybe not to the same standard, but practice makes perfect! Got about 6 pairs out of my wardrobe and trying to do them slowly!

Do not admire my willpower, my willpower was squished by an indian takeout (mind you only half a curry and no bahji's so a half win I guess) was still under my calorie count for the day!

Plan for today:

Breakfast: Apple and grapes
Lunch: Chicken and bacon sandwich with rocket salad
Dinner: Protein box! Grapes, peanut butter, cracker bread, boiled egg, carrot sticks, hummus, a square of cheese and half an apple. Picky and so me
