Happy Easter Daz - hope you have a good day x

Thank You ladies, great weekend had all in all, depending how one views things. haha. Far too much alcohol on Friday and Saturday, but then i laid off of it altogether yesterday. But, i did indulge in someone elses roast dinner so no idea of syns (gravy, cauliflower cheese, spuds cooked in the fat and oil, etc) followed by an apple crumble and cream.

Very decadent, very worth it.

Staying away from scales for a few days, really don't want to see the damage caused. Back on plan as of now.

Glad you had a good time Daz, roast dinner sounds yum. You still have 3 full days including today to get back on it before WI on Friday. You can pull that back.

i will possibly fall foul of it by the end of the day and take a peek at my end weight. Its a pretty good gauge for seeing what i will be the next morning, lol.

I also use mine as a gauge too. Kathryn and I had 2 meals off plan all weekend and no alcohol yet my scales were showing at least 5lb up on weds WI figure. On weds I was 11.05 today I was 11.3 grrrrr. Gotta get the scales moving downward again

i was back to 173 Sunday morning, but haven't weighed since. Daren't. Its the same again, another week of trying to get below the 170 mark.

Just have to keep plodding on - I only needed 0.5 to target hmmmm - maybe next week eh

i just weighed, 173 still. Not going to argue with that. Will see if there is a delayed reaction tomorrow though.

i was actually told on Friday that i have visibly lost weight from my belly, that is the end goal. for a few weeks now i have been feeling as though its getting slimmer, and yet the weight isn't altering. Strange. But i will be happy where i am if the belly is still going to go down for me.

inches definitely make a difference!! Have you measured lately its a good while since you posted you had lost 6 inches around your mid riff so could be more now even though the numbers on the scales arent budging

Tried it the other day but i think i must have measured wrong as it said it was the same. Will try again later, cannot feel slimmer and be told i look like i have lost the belly a bit and still be the same size.

I wish I had measured from day 1 so that I could actually note the difference in size/inches as well as stones.

i have a sideways on photo as well so that once im ready i can show a before and after. I feel that its not far away now. Of course for me i am guessing that a huge slow down in drinking is helping the belly, it was probably 20 years of beer build up rather than eating habits.

I think thats the case for most men (not all) I know just going by my OH. For as long as I can remember he was 12st and stick thin. He played footie etc, then packed that in and continued drinking a lot of the time to excess and now has a beer gut on him. He eats most of the SW meals I make and eats healthily for lunches and brekkie now , he walks loads and goes running now and again. Then come a weekend undoes it all with the beer grr

Its not easy, im one of those that stays in, or i go for a drink for the evening. Social drinking for one or 2 just doesn't happen. Hence why i don't go out often. Just don't like the idea of my entire social life revolving around pubs.

 

[Texty_F]

I always say to him its pure greed he doesn't know when to stop- son is taking after him. I rarely drink these days, I used to be out every weds friday and saturday, sunday too if it was a bank hol. Im lucky if Im out once a month now - I used to miss it but I can take or leave it now

I am out in a couple of weeks for my birthday and that will be it for a while

 

[dazd1970]

The problem i have is what do you do? I have no friends whose houses i can visit, bar Jamie and he has a lot on at the moment, i have nobody to gout out with for meals or cinema, etc, so the only option i get is to stay in or go to the pub. Its been nice this weekend but still i had a few bottles of ale to drink, which is not what i want to be doing really.

 

[Texty_F]

I rarely go out now ive become a bit of a hermit lol - hence im always on minis sad I know lol

 

[dazd1970]

Its the same here for me really, tend to stay in, which im ok with, like i say, i don't want to be in the pub all the time, had 20 years of that as a manager.

Just done the turkey skewers from the Fakeaway book, were ok, nothing mesmerising though. Im still really impressed with the Schezuan beef, was awesome. I will be in trouble with Kay as i haven't taken any pictures. lol. Alas i don't have bright lighting and white backdrops so its crap pics when i do take them.

Ooooo I'll have to try the beef ive ordered the book to pick up this week (again) she sold my copy to someone else last week grrrr
