Hi all, hope you're all doing well

Hey Sarah, yea, I've been quite good. Awarding myself a big fat kebab tomorrow night which I soooo can't wait for!! Oooh, an as for the mincemeat thing, years ago, it was actually meat. They mixed it with spices and fruit and alcohol to preserve it. So there you go. You learn something new everyday

[longtobeamum]

Well, I to say I am gutted is an understatement!! I have really stuck to it this week (apart from my kebab, and even then I had mostly chicken and just a tiny bit of donner), and had my weigh in this morning, and it's just a measley loss of 1/2 a lb! I just wanna cry! I need to be getting the weight off faster than this!! This calls for some serious action!

 

[longtobeamum]

Sorry, make that 1.5lb loss. xxx

 

[africaqueen]

^ When is AF due hun? Could be water retention. I lost 1lb the wk that AF was due and had been so good and i was gutted, and then the wk later i lost 4lb so was retaining water.
I think 1.5lb loss is fab anyway cos it means u are back on plan after that bad few wks and it all brings u closer to your goal Do u eat a lot of ss foods?
Sometimes i struggle to fit loads in, but going to really try this next few days as i had a greedy wkend and want to try get 2-3lb off by WI on Fri xxx

I have had a piggy weekend, not lost or gained though and AF came, so not too bad I dont think. Concentrating for the rest of the week and hoping for a loss by friday!

[africaqueen]

Glad you are back with us magpies! ;-)
Yep i deffo need to get back in gear after a greedy wkend! lol.
I will be happy with any loss this wk tbh xxx

 

[longtobeamum]

Yea AQ, Af is here, packing her bags an gettin her arse out the door though. I defo need to be eatin more ss foods! I have half a melon waiting for me at work

I'm gonna be tryin the red/green plan to see if that will give me a boost!

xxx

 

[4magpies]

My blood results didnt come back good girls. I dont ovulate. No wonder I am not pregnant eh?

I need to shift this last stone so bad. I feel like its gonna deffo end up IVF for us.

xxxx

 

[africaqueen]

Longtobeamum- That's why u only lost 1.5lb hun. Nearly all women retain at least 2-3lb in water during that time so next wks loss will be even better ;-) 1.5lb is still fab tho x

Magpies- Yeah my bloods yrs ago showed i didnt Ovulate so went on clomid for 6mths and that did the trick with ovulating for me. Luckily my pcos has sorted itself out a lot now and i only suffer from mild pcos and af is pretty regular since i lost some weight.
We will encourage u to lose that last stone ;-) there maybe different things to try first before getting the "big guns" out, so wait and see. You will get there hunni x

Hi to everyone else

I have been naughty again today.Been up since 7am with painful cystitis and ended up goin to tesco for some oasis early this morn! so felt sorry for myself today. Ended up going to North wales with my mum an dad to Holywell to st winifreds well( cnt harm trying seeing as my mum is so ill) and then we went to colwyn bay an i had a cone of chips and a mr whippy... aaaah. Was a trip to the seaside and not complete without them.. thats my defence! lol. Deffo gonna have a healthy stir fry for tea and gonna be good tomorrow aside from a thin pancake with sweetener and lemon for brekky... eeek. I am now hoping to of lost 1lb this wk cos its been harder as iv had social stuff going on. Next wk will be fine as i have no plans and little cash left... lmao xxx

 

[africaqueen]

How is everyone doing? Not had any updates so far this wk

I have been good today so far.

Brekky- Cuppa coffee

Lunch- chicken sandwich, apple, 2 mini babybel lights, banana and shape zero yogurt.

Very cool idea!!!

Hey al - hope you are all doing well - im at a bit of a standstill but holding my weight - Im doing a lot of exercise, but eating badly - I MUST get back on the wagon rather jog alongside it!!

 

[longtobeamum]

just half a pound loss for me Only had 1 bad day, so quite gutted!! I really need to get my arse into gear now!! xxx

 

[longtobeamum]

Oh, and AQ, my total loss is wrong on the first page, with this weeks .5lb loss, it takes my total to 15lb xxx

 

[africaqueen]

Hi girls.

Longtobeamum- Great idea for keeping u going with the diet! well done on the loss. Better than a gain and 15lb is fab x

Hi Monster pops. Hope u are ok. x

Hi to everyone else and i hope we are all doing well.

It has been a SHOCKING wkend for me. Had a big row with dh on fri night so went and drank lots of vodka... then sat night i went to stay at my friends in lancaster and we drank lots.. then sunday we had her grandaughters christening and i had a few drinks but a plate full of food such as quiche, and all fatty tasty stuff and then tiramasiu (spelt wrong,lol) then for my tea i was so tired after work that i had a big mac meal.... aaaah.
I can honestly say im annoyed with myself but i have felt so sad over my mum being ill and over the row with dh that i just turned to drink and then it was a downward spiral... Just made chicken pasta for work tomorrow and i will be having no treats at all intill after WI on fri as i know for sure i will of gained around 1-2lb. Well pissed off with myself but the emotions got the better of me this wkend xxx
