Val I don't suffer from S.A.D syndrome only S.D.A syndrome - Summer Diet Again

Jackie - if Alsbaby's not disintegrated then maybe she's ran off with with a toyboy in Majorca

Don't forget - reduce you're size with exercise (chant this every morning on wakening )

Mmmm..half a toffee and pecan Hi Fi bar...3 SW syns.
Hello peeps. How you all doing? This lovely weather certainly helps with the die....I mean Healthy Eating Regime

I'm missing my gym sessions cos of my gammy knee. Waiting for X ray results and it's making me mighty twitchy. How can I lose weight without umpteen star jumps

Roll on Monday.Kids back at school and me back into my routine.

You may jest about Alsbaby running off with a toyboy but that is exactly what my mate did one year in Cyprus. Met a fella of 27 (she was 42 at the time) who was in the forces out there. Came home carried on an affair via e-mail etc then a year later dumps hubby of 19years they sell their house, she buys new home with toyboy and her three kids.

hmmmmm i predict a diet.. i predict a diet.. my dad came round last night to see us and promptly told me how fat i was getting and how my rear end was spreading quicker than melting butter... ha cheers dad...i have been trying for weeks now to get fit and shift some flab ( dad remembers me at 8 stone i think) and he never noticed i had lost any weight.. ( i lost about 5lbs in total.. not alot i know but a start) and the week i don't lose any.. he visits and tells me my bum is big!!! what inspiration and motivation...

anyway, the weather is great this weekend, time for exercise and healthy eating.. and on to next week to my target of losing 3 lbs..

have a great weekend everyone..

oh.. and has alsbaby lost so much weight she has faded away or is she on hols somewhere?

Very quiet today on the losers thread ? All out enjoying the fine weather?

Well , after getting everyone's tea I realised that I hadn't thought about what I should have
So, I cooked some chopped onions and garlic in a pan then added diced carrot and swede, half a can of chickpeas and a sliced sweet potato.Put in a tin of tomatoes, a squeeze of tomato puree, some mixed herbs, balsamic vinegar and Worcestorshire sauce. Then I crumbled in a veggie oxo cube and some Schwartz season all and more water. I put the lid on and simmered fro 30 mins. Finally I made some couscous and scoffed a plateful. And enjoyed it!
I think it would have been negligable syns on a green as I still have 4 portions left which I'm going to freeze for later.

Belated Greetings, have been at work 3 12hour shifts off the trot. My latest pal Justin Ibble said it would be OK if I had just 4 Milk Tray choccies on Friday night so who was I to argue Weigh day tomorrow

Val - Dads, Huh Fab song by the way

Hbrac - get the kettle on, am on my way for a plate of your nosh

Nite nite folks and sweet dreams, not dreams of sweets.

Hey, hey, hey it's weigh day (again), lost a measly 1lb over the last 2weeks. When I think of all the lovely cooked brekkies I refused at the Lakes and all the walking we done I could scream Also since we returned I've been back at the gym. Yeah, I know I nibbled on 4 Milk Tray chox annnnnd went for an Indian but it was my daughter's 18th and I ate weigh less than I would normally (honestly).

Weight loss since Jan = 17lbs
Time till hols = 5 wks
Weight still to lose = 7lbs, but preferably 10lb
Chances of getting under 9stone = Zeroooooooooooooooooo I'm changing my name to Orca

Joolz.. don't despair. I don't know how it works.. sometimes you eat nothing and gain weight and then others, you can be a pig and lose it... 7lbs is less than 1/2 stone..and i reckon you could do it in 5 weeks...

as for being under 9 stone.. i would love to be under 10 stone!!!!

when you are exercising, i think your weight falls off at first, but then some of the flab turns to muscle..

keep trying joolz...

Thanks Val - I do keep trying - I keep trying to lose weight but it keeps on finding me

Yes don't despair. I know it's important to you to be the weight you want, but sometimes it happens like that. For no apparent reason it comes off, then you feel like you're trying really hard and it goes on.

And as has been said, if you're exercising (loads of walking in the Lakes?) then you've maybe put a bit of muscle on, which weighs more than fat. You might have lost 2 lbs of fat but put 2 lbs of muscle on - yet muscle of the same weight is so much smaller in size you see?

Hi Joolz

Can I remind you again of THIS discussion?

Pippy

If you do what your avatar is doing all day long you'll be sure to lose some. Might get funny looks in the supermarket though.

back to the health kick tonight..more swimming.. and i must lose some weight this week .. i can't go another week without losing any..

WELL WELL girls you caught me out about my being away so long (thruth is my toyboy spanish waiter sent me back home to my hubby cos he said i drank and ate to much and i was costing him a fortune) oh yeah and that i got to fat to quickly

Truth of the matter is i have been home now for 2 weeks and for some reason i thought i was still on my hols (eating and drinking) I was really good too I went to class to get weighed on wed morning (arrived home about 11pm tues night) And i had gained 8lb (which you would think would have stopped me in my tracks) But OH NO not me NO i have to take it a couple of steps further than that (well couple of weeks further) god knows what damage i have done now.
Got back on plan on (had to think then it seems so long and it was only yesterday) But my friend has asked me to go to hers tomorrow and we always have a drink in the garden if the weather is good,I will just have to think of my other friends wedding in sept and my cruise in nov(i really dont want to be big for either of them.
Oh yeah and its my sons 17th on friday but thats ok i think he wants a BBQ so i will just have a red day and try to keep count on my drinks(seem to go backwards after a few )
I will let you know how i get on tomorrow even if i come back shame faced and alittle tipsy.

Please Please let me look like my avatar by november.

as long as i don't look like mine by November!!!

We did miss your postings Kerrie.. and glad to hear you had a good time. Don't worry about the weight.. i am sure you can shift it again if you want to.. the rest of us haven't shifted it in the first place.

Hi all - this thread always makes me smile

Things are going quite well for me.........I've put on 3lbs, but I think it's muscle as my arms no longer have the "bingo" effect and I can actually see/feel muscle when I tense!!

I also have my six-pack returning which is great, but my bottom half still looks like a Teletubby! I've gone mad over exercise and am enjoying doing it which is great for me. I only eat rubbish food on Sunday's now - gives me something to look forward to, and this week I have some giant jaffa cakes............4 of them! I dare say they'll be gone within an hour of me getting up
