The ultimate incentive worked! Now onto phase two

Oooh, good point, I need to find a tape measure!
And I agree that it isn't MSE to buy bigger clothes rather than stop eating chocolate and crisps, as much as I may be tempted! OH says my book hasn't arrived yet, I hope it arrives tomorrow so I can start meal planning and make a shopping list. The problem with low carb is that it requires a lot of planning, you can't just grab a sandwich if you've not got time to make lunch etc!

I Poolie am going to make a concerted effort to put on weight as OH keeps moaning at me. Being of sound mind and not so squishier than desired by OH, and therefore I will be having treats. Chocolate shall be one thing passing my lips were possible.

Poolie, you're a nice chap and all, but you are banned from the thread until October 1st

Although the idea of each of us posting when we turn down a treat and you having to eat one is mildly tempting - sort of like tubby physics - no fat can be destroyed only moved or recreated in another form.

Urgh, I've just realised we've got a big chocolate muffin at home and half has been allocated to me! It'll kill me but I'll have to make OH eat the whole thing! Maybe I should tell him to eat it before I get home!

Flower - Ooo, Kingsized!! Will that mean going bedding shopping?!.. or is that kind of against the point of moving in with your OHs parents.

It is kinda against the point, but all the bedding we have is only double so i will have to buy some. Is it sad that i get excited about buying bedding :rotfl:

Maybe i should try find my tapemeasure and join you all on the weightloss. I dont have any scales though, would have to go to boots and it always scares me that someone will see how much i weigh :rotfl:

LOL! I wonder if they'll be interested in having you talk at the Royal Institution Christmas Lectures with that kind of thinking!
Don't be scared of the scales at Boots Flower! If you're worried cover it with your hand and hide the print out in your purse until you're home and safe!

Would definitely be telling him to eat it before you get back. I don't have any chocolate with me today, and I finished the big box of Thorntons at the weekend (why I'm putting on the weight is becoming a little clearer), and there is nothing at home I'm desperate for. That said if NIM doesn't join in too I would really struggle as he gets through sugar like its going out of fashion and I find it hard watching him chomp through the Cadburys when I'm trying to be good.

See, I'm going to be rubbish at this! I'd just got home and eat the muffin if I were you Birdie, and say I'll start properly tomorrow. Really should start drinking my 9479024 (or 8..) glasses of water a day too, my skin isn't a pretty picture atm.

Dinah93

To be honest I'm not sure if our scales remotely work! Last time I got on they told me I was 3 stone error....

Dinah93

Skin I'm usually pretty good on, but then I clense, tone and moisturise religiously, and I do have to drink loads because the blood pressure tablets make me really dehydrated.

Cinny91

Show off! I use the DHC products, I could do all the clensing, toning, facepacking in the world and I'd still have outbreaks, might be my rubbish diet though. So this challenge should help that too. Might try and get out of bed 15minutes eariler too and take my pooch for a walkies in the morning for extra exercise.
