One stone at a time target/challenge.

[galaxy-girl]

Soooooo... managed to lose 3 lbs this week so I am only 1.5 lbs away from moving into the next stone bracket, finally!

Oh and ps, my boyf has joined Minimins too so no more MIL rants lol

Well done on losing the 3lb. Maybe the loser dance is the order of the day.

Don't know what you mean about a MIL rant. I've only ever seen nice things said on here about them & how supportive they are in our weight loss journey

Soooooo I'm dipping my toe in the slim fast diet. Not literally but don't feel I'm chucking myself in 100%. I've decided I'm not gonna eat breakfast/shake at 7am just because I've woke up & kids are eating breakkie. I'm gonna ave my first shake when I feel peckish. I'm also gonna make a taziki dip with carrot sticks for a 100 kcal snack. I've also got an app called my fitness pal, which I've been told is a good place to track kcals. I've never really been aware of kcals in food before as I've never really tracked that way before. I think im gonna be surprised what I'm actually eating.
Hows everyone else doin? Does anyone know where Emma is? She was the most positive of us all & was doin so well with the weight loss.
Good to see Carly back, are you still doin the teaching in sept?

I'm good thanks Dolly, what exam did you have to sit? Hope it went well! xx

I've never been for tapas what sort of thing did you eat? I have however drunk sangria lol xx

Busy too but finally back on the losing train, welcome back xx

Well tapas is small dishes, so I had chicken skewers with peppers, Spanish omelette, potatoes in a tomato sauce, 2 garlic bread I also asked for a tomato and onion salad and was peed of when they brought me a plate with 8 slices of tomato and some raw white onions !! Wtf ?? How can they call this a salad !! Plus I ate the fruit in the sangria !! I honestly could not have chosen anything better, well apart from the garlic bread !!

Good idea about leaving breakfast until you're hungry. I find I am hungry at 4pm regardless, I might have eaten a grilled hippo for lunch and I am still hungry at 4pm. I have at times eaten my dinner at 4pm and have been full until bedtime, weird huh? Looking at the calories is really surprising and often puts me off buying things, last time I was in England my Mum bought my step dad some shortbread and i thought it might be cool to bring some home until I realised that in a small box there were 1000 calories!!!

I sent Ems a message a few days ago, hopefully she's doing okay and is just busy atm. xxx

lol, well that salad sounds better then a tomato and mozzarella salad I ordered in a hotel in Wakefield when I was up there for work. It arrived and the guy put it down saying "we ran out of mozzarella so it is cheddar instead" and walked off. It was sweaty cheddar bleaugh but I had been waiting for about an hour so I just ate it, at least the company was paying for it. Tapas sounds quite nice though, might have to try some one day xx

I was 20 st 2.5 when the thread was started so I have lost 1 stone 1.5 lbs in 8 months! Actually I have probably lost more when you see that I lost then put on then lost and put on and lost.... how rubbish lol, but the point is we're going to make it this time xx

 

[galaxy-girl]

Still chuckling bout the tomato & mozzarella. Haha as if cheddar substitutes it. Cheeky Yorkshire monkeys. Lol.
Actually you ladies are doin so well at the weight loss compared to moi. I daren't weigh myself but know I'm hovering somewhere my original starting weight & I've decided I'm just here for the social aspect & if I lose weight along the way well that's a bonus.
Anyway nowt exciting but feel I must report on the stupid thing I did today. So, got kids ready for school then Zak, who's 8, goes upstairs all quiet & miserable. When it's time to go he asks me if I can go in to the class with him, which I never do as I'm usually working. I tell him I can't go in as I'm in my scruffs & not had wash etc. (Lisa, I didn't have dodgy see thru leggings on & floral pants but nearly as bad, lol). So, he goes into school & it breaks my heart & I feel so bad. What do I do? That's right, I go to morrisons & buy mini ice lollies, ice cream, choc, sweets etc to "cheer him up when he comes home". I got back in the car & thought WTF am I doin? I'm doin just what mums carry on doin that we moan about so much. I was so angry with myself & guess what? They cheered him up. Need to rethink what I'm doing next time & just go in to school looking a right tramp & not feel so guilty.

[Morgenmuffel]

Awww bless him, any idea why he wanted you to go in with him? At least it did cheer him up this time, need to have a think of what non foody things might cheer him up in the future... I have no idea what 8 year old boys are into though lol.

And yeah cheeky indeed, that cheddar was bloody awful, in fact just thinking about it I can taste it all over yuck! Perhaps I should try and channel that memory next time I fancy cheese, might put me off.

Night night ladies xxx

 

[Morgenmuffel]

Although I used to love panini sticker books and my Dad used to buy us packs of stickers when we were good or needed cheering up, do they still make them? When we only had a few left to get and weren't being lucky he'd write off and get the ones we needed direct from them. I remember my Disney Black Cauldron book was my absolute favourite one.

Aww Kay, I don't know what to say babe, have you found out why he needed you to go into school ? is everything ok with him ??

I know that you are not sticking to any diet at the moment... have you sorted the Dr's out yet ?

Sod looking like a tramp... trust me, until you have seen what I have seen well OMG, you can't possibly ever look that bad !

You know what as long as you keep getting back up and doing it, I think that is a major thing.

You have lost around 9lbs more than me !

Sticker book is a good idea, I'll keep that in mind cos think new footy one starts soon. He said schools boring & he dunt like it tho I think it's cos he had a new haircut, his choice, & he was scared what others wud say & some kids from his footy team had said the haircut was banned from their school. Luckily he goes to different school to them. I asked him tonight why he wanted me to go in & was everything ok & he said he just wanted to show me summat. I did go in to school on fri for him to show me summat he was workin on. Think he's just a mummy's boy & when he's married wi kids I can buy him stuff like better than harrods rings lol. Can you imagine me buying a sticker book when he's 40 haha.
Not been to doctors cos my moods lifted a bit, for time being. I've started slim fast & today I've done ok. Infact I've been bloody fantastic. I had a mole removed at local hospital & the anticipation & fear of the unknown got me a bit upset but I didn't turn to food. Then good old MIL bought me a tiger loaf & its still on side untouched. She also bought dog some liver/kidney & cooked it for her. The fatty/feeder thing has shifted to the dog & horse. Obviously they need cheering up too. She also bought kids a pack of choc wafers that she bought from b&m's or summat. The only reason she bought them is cos they're a quid cheaper than morrisons. Erm there's a reason for that, dingbat, they're made in Croatia & Morrison ones aren't. Jeez.
I'm now sat watching idiot abroad cos he always makes me chuckle.

[Morgenmuffel]

lol Kay, well I'm 34 next week and I'd probably be sadly happy if someone bought me a sticker book Perk of having a son is that you get to be the evil MIL later I suppose

Great start on the Slim Fast too, kep it up girl! xxx

Oh my goodness, no need to apologise. How is your little one doing now? Starting afresh tomorrow is the right attitude and i have no doubt you'll be rid of that excess in no time. xxx

Ah she was doing brilliant back to full health and then my neighbour knocked my door and told me her daughter had hand foot and mouth but continued to let her play on the road with the kids , and even though i brought hollie in every time i saw the child out hollie still picked it up so our hols last wk were ruined cos the poor pet was so sick . Havent slept since last wed but she is much better today thank god x x
