From here to Eternally Slim

[zombiecakes]

It's VERY tempting, but then i'd get all OCD about it Tonight we have takeaway planned (well within days calories but bulky heavy food) so i am severely tempted to claim weigh in is today! Hmmm choices choices

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Ahhh, just do it, then the takeaway can be your post WI celebration

Also, then it wouldnt be a sneaky peek, it would be an official WI and you dont have to deal with the sneaky peek guilts. If you were going to group and couldnt make it to your usual one, would it matter if you went to one a day earlier than usual? No, of course it wouldnt.

Yes, yes I am a bad influence. Just dont make a habit of it

 

[zombiecakes]

Oky, i'm going for it

In that case, i have lost 3.6 lbs this week V V happy \o/

 

[blubex]

Ooo i sneaky peeked at the scales this morning too. I reeeeaaallllyyy hope they stay there for tomorrow!

Why not WI tomorrow then pick the better of the two...you never know it may be a bit more in the morning

NIIIIICE!!!!!! Well done!!!

 

[zombiecakes]

Thank you <3 <3

I have a pair of trousers that have never fit (bought when in denial about the weight gain!) and i can get them fastened now. There's severe muffin top (mmm attractive ) but i'm determined they'll fit and i can actually wear them soon!

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Good old muffin tops. I have more of an unbaked cottage loaf thing going on

At the rate you are going, you will be in them with room to spare in a few weeks!

 

[zombiecakes]

Heheh i hope so!

My aim is to be under 12 stone by xmas! That way i don't have to feel like a blimp at Xmas dinner/bf's birthday/new year/my birthday!

 

[zombiecakes]

Your husband is shorter than you right?

I'm taller than the bf (he's only 5ft 7, bless him ) which doesn't bother me in the slightest. But sometimes can't help thinking ppl notice you're taller (esp. when out and about in heels) and wonder why he's with such a huge fat blob (not bothered they'd notice the height difference, just that it would draw their attention then they'd just focus on my weight) :/ Not that i'd look any slimmer if i was with a 6ft 7 rugby player (in fact the i'd obsess ppl were wondering why he was with an unfit fat blob)
A little self confidence will arrive with the weight loss, right?

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Yep, I am 6ft 1 and he is 5ft 11. Its WAY more obvious when I am the size of two people widthwise, or if I have anything involving any sort of heel on. I do have to point out that you have a BMI of 27 and not 307. Not only could you use a self-confidence boost, but also a self-perception boost!

I know exactly what you mean though, I have this vision of us both in our sixties and hes shrunk a bit more and hes wandering round with this giant as wide as three buses who only fits in nylon dresses with so many folds of fat that she smells funny. Defo one to avoid where possible.

 

[zombiecakes]

Hmm i guess! Where can i purchase one of those?

Ah i love heels. In fact the bf bought me these for my birthday

I wear them whenever possible So height difference doesn't bother me. Plus at the end of an evening when my feet are killing me (worth it ) he's perfect crutch height. Or perfect crutch height when wearing silly heels and can't walk to well in them

Haha your story made me chuckle, but it's also a worry i share. Or you go to put your arm round him and your bingo wing belts him on the head and knocks him out! Hmm, not pretty.

 

[zombiecakes]

One thing he never takes kindly to is me calling him "snack-size" or "fun-size"

 

[pesty]

Well doen on your loss Zombie!! Be careful that you dont over do it on takeaway tonight - 'i have an extra day to get it off' syndrome!!

Can i ask how many calories are you having per day? xx

 

[zombiecakes]

Naa i over estimated my takeaway calories and it's within my days so i won't go over. Very "in the zone" atm

I joined Food Focus. It's a website for tracking calories (although some things differ from the packets so i use the packet calories etc) and it works out how many to eat a day if you were idle to lose X amount of weight per week. With my height and weight (and activity level at work) i can eat just over 1500 calories to lose 1.5 lbs a week. Can also "gain" extra to eat if you do exercise

I LOVE these shoes.....might have to start dropping some hints....

 

[MadameLaMinx]

ROFL @ bingo wings hitting him on the head!!! That would be bad. Those shoes are LUSH though!

hi all,

feeling rubbish again think i am self sabotaging myself need to invest in a nice notebook and write everything down and also put it on my food diary yesterday was doing ok until i 'needed' crisps on way home had large bag of quavers and that took me over syns as dinner was sw mash, pork chop but had gravby and 2 small yorkshires
- today i have had 16 need another kick up the bum. i think tbh is because i have not been weighed since last monday and i was going a bit relaxed. my new weighin day is thurs as going back to old class.

MLM well done on your award hopfully if i can sort my head out i will get mine in a couple of weeks

Well done to everyone else,

zombiecakes love the shoes - could not walk in them i would fall over, infact i fall over my own feet without the help of stunning shoes

 

[MadameLaMinx]

Thanks Ronnie, and no hopefully about it, you WILL get that award in a couple of weeks. Get your notebook out, start writing it all down, and start asking yourself if you REALLY need the things you are going over syns on. Chances are, you dont.

 

[ronniejacobs]

Thanks MLM tbh i probably dont need the extra weetabix gonna have 2 tomoro and see what time i get hungy and completely offputting hopefully will have less gas. Gonna write it all down again from tomorrow and I will get there and thankfully i have some met some lovely people thru here that I feel i am supported too

 

[rosiepeace]

Struggling here tonight - didn't feel like cooking so got a takeaway - did have chicken in oyster sauce so not too bad on the syns - but helped the boy eat some of his chips!

Hopefully will be back on track tomorrow and back in the slimming zone - am hoping to lose at least 2lbs as that will put me bang on 12stone - will have been a while since I've been there - but I think I'm having an issue getting past the 2 stone barrier - have been at 2 stone lost for about 3 weeks now and just keep putting and taking off again.

Need to sort my head out!

Hope everyone else who is struggling gets back on track with minimal damage, if any!

Those of you who are in the zone - keep it up - you are all so inspiring.

Anyway I'm off to bed - tired tonight so heading off early!
