How to lose half your body weight in 10 days (Or a bit longer!)

Good luck for weigh in! X
 
Aww thanks ladies. Lol adelle, one was fitting a boiler amd the other just stuck his head in for a chat.

Been to weigh in... Lost 1.5lbs which means I got my 5.5 stone shiny. Mum lost 2lbs and got her half stone shiny too. We all got birthday cake and cava because it was des's 80th and our consultant's 60th (she looks like she is in her 40s though! And des looks like he is late 60s) I passed on the drink and Nate ate my cake and i had my fruit :)

Nate had me up all night so I am off for a nap while he naps!
 
Well done, Fran. That's brilliant. Look forward to seeing the new sticker on your signature xx
 
Thanks guys. The cake and cava did make me chuckle. And our c said it was syn free because we had it in class. Lol. There were about half a dozen awards today too. Most were 1 stone. I was super pleased mum got her award today too else I wouldn't have been as happy with mine. I stood on the scales and had a massive grin on my face when it came up. So the weighing lady asked if it was what I wanted, and i said yep, it is dead on my 5.5 stone award. At which point she broke into a huge grin too.

I still need another 4lbs in about 3 weeks to do the 1 stone challenge. So let's hope my body keeps shedding the lbs. One lady is such a cheater. Mum thinks I am hilarious at getting so annoyed by this... Each week, if you are in the challenge, you write down in your box what you have lost OR GAINED, and she is such a cheater and only ever writes down her losses and just puts a dash through weeks that she has gained in. Cheater, cheater, big pie eater! It really winds me up.

Off from being wound up by smelly cheaters, I have a question for you all. Do you look forward to your meals? I do. I was well excited at having biryani last food week, and this week I'm thinking "yum, butternut squash lasagna" and "ooh, new Asia book recipe" etc. Yes, I am a piggy, and yes I love food. BUT, a grown man, a grown adult man, who is married and worked all his life, brought up a family, a normal sensible, regular man, said he doesn't want to have more variety because he doesn't want to look forward to his meals. Honestly! My mouth dropped open (not for food) and I said "what? You DON'T want to look forward to your meals?! Really?!?" To me this is worse than food guilt. I refuse to have food guilt, I am very much looking forward to enjoying myself when I go up to yorkshire in July, and i plan on enjoying myself when we go for a meal to meet my brother's new girlfriend who we've been waiting for years to become his girlfriend. No food guilt, I'm refusing to see food and enjoyment of it as a bad thing. The day I have food guilt you all best tell me to stop it! But not wanting to look forward to your meals? Not only is it setting you up for failure "blah, I don't want bland mush again. Oh look, a tower of cake-pie! Omnomnom!" But it means you are forever punishing yourself. Surely looking forward to your tea is a good thing, perhaps not to the point of distraction, but it gives you a healthy attitude towards food. You will want to try more things, you will then have more variety and in turn get more vital nutrients your body needs.

As you can tell I was gobsmacked. I told him how I really look forward to my meals, and last night i had made biryani. (i later had some leftovers for lunch to revel in it's yummines.) My c was chuckling at my horror of not enjoying food on purpose, but she agreed with me and asked him if he liked curry, which he really does enjoy apparently, and she showed him the curry book.

Sorry for my rant, but it is mad. As is cutting out food groups and labeling everything as good or bad. In the past year I have seen a lot of slimmers, and the ones who cut out ALL bread and cheese and pasta, the people who live off of soup, the people who punish their enjoyment of food are the people who get big loses for a few months, and then go the other way. It isn't maintainable, it isn't satisfying and it isn't enjoyable. But it is sad, because they really do what to lose the weight.

Today we had stew for tea. Ooh and it was good. Nate scoffed his and had a bit of mine for seconds, but then he twigged he had eaten all his tea and that means he gets a treat so he mustn't keep eating all of mummy's too. Hehe. Bless, all the kids love nana's stew, alyssa will have 3rds if she can. Same with pasta. Piggy kids - I love it.
 
That would drive me mad too, the woman in class.

I do look forward to my meals too.

Good for you for having no food guilt and planning to look forward to July. Life's for living and sometimes SW doesn't always fit in.

I think it's great when kids eat. I love it. My nephew is such a fussy eater and it drives me mad. He won't try new things either. How do you know what you like or don't until you try?

I think I'll make a biryani soon.
 
Omg yeah that is weird! I always look forward to my meals, I wouldn't stick to it if I didn't enjoy what I was eating! Strange man!

Can't believe the cheek of that woman! Where do you have to write your losses/gains? If its somewhere public I'd prob pipe up in image therapy when its revealed she has gained or something say -"oh! From the chart I thought you had maintained this week!" Mwahaha!

So happy for you that you got your award :) I'd have been grinning like a Cheshire Cat too!
 
Not just frannie being a fatty then! haha. I was just so shocked.

It's ok, mum's friends were taking the piss out of us tap dancing. I very nearly said something rude as it isn't the first time. I have told mum if they take the piss again I will say something because it isn't acceptable. The problem is a lot of the time we get on well and a lot of people don't have that relationship where they enjoy doing things together (so long as she isn't in one of her moods), so other people get a bit jealous and stuff. my grandma always did. one woman's daughter is too good for her and someone else is a grump, and another one just has her kids dump her grandkids and dogs on her and bum off.
 
oh I cant stand judgemental people... if they do it again def say something... whats wrong with tap dancing?? I used to love it and wish I still did it now.

also I look forward to every scrap of food I eat... even my green teas :) xx

You are not a fattie, stop it!

I would be annoyed if my Mum's friends did that too. You are right, it isnt acceptable but people do get very catty when they are jealous.
