Bellys to Bumps

[EmmyReece]

my fella is being verrrrrrryyyyyy lazy, I wanna go shopping and get my new scales, but he's messing about on his laptop

Go without him Emmy - show him how serious you are, it might even help him to help you even more on this tough weight loss journey (I know he's supportive already). I have to keep telling my DH to remember to help me - like when I say "ooh, I might have one more" he needs to say no, not GIVE me another sweetie/choc bar/cake etc...
4maggies, just popped out to my local waitrose and they only had super noodles and I'm really surprised how much fat is IN them. There's 11.8g of fat in chicken and chow mein flavours. I saw on Jimmy's Farm that they are deep fried (I think it's to de-hydrate them) so no wonder. I'll try and find the more authentic chinese ones after I've finished these (although one pack is torn open already so that will have to go back).
I've settled on fresh pain rustique (was still warm), wiltshire ham and yummy coleslaw for lunch with kiwi and apple smoothie - de-lish! Am thinking I might go to the gym as well today - 3lbs is my target and I want to SMASH it!
FX'd for great WI's all this week.

Just double checked and they are fried - look at this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Instant_noodles - see Health concerns section. Hmmm, that's why they are tasty

Bounty all the way!!

I'm getting ready to start decorating again, I've got to paint the ceiling and Walls, so my arms are going to get a super workout! I will be on more once we've finished!

Good luck with the weigh ins ladies!

I feel a bit of an idiot. Had lunch and said to myself "I'll go to the gym this afternoon". So I went upstairs to get ready and thought "Hmmmm, down there could do with a bit of a trim!" . So I set to work and epliated my bikini line OUCH! Used to do it all the time but haven't for months (please note it was kept neat and tidy by other methods and wasn't overgrown!). OMG - I've gone all wobbly now. I'm not usually someone who shakes and I hate people that hold their hands out and say "look how much I'm shaking" whilst waving their arm about, but this has taken me by surprise . Really not feeling like going to the gym now - my body is quivering like it's already had a work out . Silly old girl!

[zowiey]

Wow! Hope your ok? Huge respect to you epilating there! I can do my legs and sometimes can manage my under arms, but tried a little patch once and almost cried it hurt so bad!!

You should have something sweet, maybe your body is a little in shock?

I've got my scales and am mortified to say since last time I was weighed I've somehow put on about 3.7 kg

Plus the scales are playing me up, sometimes when they're registering my weight they switch off, but then other times they'll actually weigh me I'm half considering taking them back and getting a refund

OMG Now there's a choice. I love those evil Super Noodles but haven't had them in forever.

I have an epilator which I use regularly. I did used to use it for my bikini line but tbh it was so painful, unless I was feeling particularly hardy, that I gave up and returned to the razor or Veet for there. I can cope with it underarms and legs, although I do get a lot of ingrowing hairs so I use a razor every now and again. Kinda like exfoliating

That doesn't sound good. They should move and then usually flash and hold for a few seconds before swtiching off. Well, every digital pair i've had have done that

 

[EmmyReece]

what they do is when you tap them, they go to 0.00 and when I step on them the 0.00 flashes and then the weight pops up ... but quite a few times instead of the weight coming up they've switched off

 

[zowiey]

I'd probably take them back, they shouldn't really be doing that when they are brand new. As for you putting on weight, maybe it's just the different scales, and different floor surfaces? My Dr weighed me and I was 8lb heavier on her scales than on the ww ones!!

 

[EmmyReece]

Chris is e-mailing weight watchers to complain now, but we won't get anything back from them until tomorrow at the very least as their offices closed at 17.00 ... kinda wishing I'd gone for the other ones with lots of reviews ... but I figured that with them being a weight watchers brand they'd be really good

I don't mind so much about having put on weight, but the fact the scales are playing me up is what's upsetting me more

 

[Tarkwa]

Sorry your scales are playing up Emmy. You're not weighing yourself on carpet, are you? That can do funny things to scales. I always weigh on a hard surface (I think it makes you heavier, but is consistent). Zowiey's right, diff scales - diff weights. I hate being weighed at the fertility clinic, I always go home feeling really fat .
Back to my bikini line - I'm feeling a bit better now, but still surprised at how I felt! I had a chocolate mousse to try and steady myself and it helped. I could NEVER do my underarms - Zowiey and Traskey you must be really tough cookies! I tried once and I cried My bikini line is used to it after years of waxing. Just spoken to DH and he is on his way home from the office - I said what happened and that I was disappointed at not going to the gym, so he said we could go for a swim together tonight. Bless him! We're having a pizza (supermarket bought) and salad for dinner.

Emmy hun, WW won't be able to do anything, it's Argos that have to deal with the problem. Easiest thing to do is take them back with your receipt and say they are faulty. They will offer you a full refund (under the sale of goods act 1979) or you can exchange them. I'm sure it's just a dodgy pair of scales, but do try on a hard surface if you haven't already.

Loss of 3.5 pounds and that brings me losing a solid stone since I've started.

 

[EmmyReece]

we've been trying them out in the hall ... I'll send Chris back in with them tomorrow and get a refund and then order the other ones

I was feeling really good about them lol

Congratulations Pinkee, that's a fantastic result this week and a combined stone is no mean feat so

Well done Pinkee! You should be very proud of yourself - we're all aiming for 3lbs this week.
