Lose weight 28

victory

Why try harder or why are you doing it?:rolleyes: Why try harder to loose weight to be happy and healthy with your weight to feel more energized less lethargic, why are you doing it? Same, to feel better about yourself, to have nice clothes, to feel more alive:D

Thanks Victory, it's not for the clothes, that's for sure. If you knew me, you'd understand. I'm a jeans, jumper & wellies type of person with delusions of getting back on a horse but think I'm approaching 50 too fast for that ever to be possible. :rotfl:Other than that, it's to delay the possibility of hip replacement & knee surgery. :rotfl:

The c foods got me :eek:

Last night (as well as minestrone soup and pizza) cheesecake and cheesy garlic bread ambushed me. Had there been chocolate in the room I think that would have won too.

In my defence - it was the special offer from a restaurant chain (3 letters and begins with A). And I threw away the further remains of the garlic bread this mmorning -- we'd taken it in a doggy bag as there was too much to eat.

Poohbear - a quarter of a pound is still a loss. Don't knock it -- it would be almost a stone in a year. :j

Nyk - a whole pound - that's great! :j

Hooray for falling trousers Bails!:j

Vix if you make the age concern people laugh like you do me there days must be so brightened up by you.

Eating like Nyk's future horse here this wee (no Nyk, put the saddle back..) I've eaten half a loaf of white(!) sliced bread in the last16 hrs:eek:. I won't even go over the rest of the week, I have just felt so hungry. Got to reign myself in somehow.

Granny - well done on throwing the extra garlic bread away.

Nyk, we all fall off the wagon, the secret of sucess is not letting that lead to a long term giving up, but just climb back on for a new day 1.(But you have done fantastically well to lose 7lbs so far:T)

kpc, wonderful kitchen news and the soft click of scrabble tiles being placed is very seductive...:D

dmv - i eat when i am tired, which unfortunately is too often and when I am bored but I am very lucky not to be an emotional eater particularly but I am sure you are not the only one who goes the opposite way and can't eat.

Vixstar - I am not sure if it is an advantage that I don't drink as I don't have that to virtuously give up:o

Bails, I wonder if you can't see the difference becasue of where you are, you are wearing baggier clothing anyway. You'll just have to accept the evidence that your body is changing by the falling down of trousers etc.

Hezza: Taaaaaaaaaaake meeeeeeee! I so wanna go. I watched her in an interview the other day on about her marriage and stuff. She was saying that so much focus is put on the wedding day and a marriage is more than that. Quite true i thought.

Yes I saw the same interview, what a gal. The funniest bit was when she told the story of how her mum "smacked the cr*p" out of her in a supermarket for showing off - it was just after the first Destiny's Child single was released!! I paid an eye-watering amount for the tickets tho' (Level 1 seats) and my DD is busting a gut waiting for next Saturday! Promise I will tell all afterwards plus photos!!

Pigged out last night on red wine and half a box of after eights after being good all day (all week really). We are off to see the MIL in hospital today so the kids will be missing out on a firework display tonight. To make up for it we all sat around the table after dinner and played Monopoly (which I won!:D) then had a nice long chat with them. It was lovely, no TV, no video games, no computer, just us being a family together. Bliss!

granny, thanks for the kind thoughts on my quarter pound loss. I do feel bad about messing up the chart though!

nyk DH brought a box of choccies to bed and I helped him eat some. I would not have touched them otherwise. I don't understand what made me do it either. And last night he was offering me toffee and I couldn't say no.

Once again I find myself at the doors of the "Losing Weight" thread. Let my battle commence again (hopefully the last time )

This time I am not doing cambridge or slimming world but doing it Bindiboo style. Cutting out the crap, not snacking between meals unless its fruit or yogurts and bulking meals out with plenty of salad and veg and really cutting out bread to the bare minimum. Plently of water, drinks etc etc.

Started Tuesday 3rd Nov.

After seeing a shocking picture of myself at a wedding last weekend it has spurred me into action. Everytime I think I want a biscuit or feel hungry I think of that photo!!!!!

So can i go back on the chart please guys and keep me going with encouragement

Brighton_belle

Great to have you back bindi - sounds a brilliant plan. Try and post everyday, perhaps reording what you have eaten might help with the focus and lots of praise:D

Pooh - life is far to short to be concerned about the effect your results have on the over all chart:eek:. We each have our own ups and downs. And .25 of a lb is the right direction:T

Hezza - that sounds a lovely family evening:T.
Last night the private school round the corner form me had their fireworks night in driving rain in a force 6. A really good display and I was out there with by their Victorian railings getting it all for free and having a laugh with other female neighbours who'd all come out too as soon as it started, leaving all the comudgenly menfolk on the sofa's:rotfl:

Good morning everyone, hope those concerned will enjoy concerts, meals out, special treats, walks and arrival of builders for kitchen extensions. It's not been the best of weeks here. It has been so cold and damp that I've been resorting to quick-make foods like fry-ups, curry & chips and puddings. Worse still, I have clean forgotten all about my own rule and was eating pastilles and liquorice allsorts in bed whilst watching telly!! MUST TRY HARDER! But I keep losing sight of exactly why? Anyone else ever have this problem?

I forget all too easily too Im afraid.
Even though for me it is as simple as having better mobility.

bah. Not having a good day here. Fell into the trap of rushing for work and not having breakfast. So it was crisps at work I vow to get up early next week and have breakfast everyday...

Oh wait, I'm on holiday next week :T Or maybe not, have told the boss I am willing to work it, just so I am keeping up the exercise on my knee. He definitely wants me in on monday, dunno about the rest of the week though. So even if I have a few days off, it will be easier to make time to have breakfast and get into a routine

Planning to have a couple of beers tonight too, might as well as i've been naughty all day
