Lose weight 28

Brighton_belle

evening all.
Mazza - another shopping hater here, especially clothes shopping - much prefer doing it online.
Victory -your boss sounds ghastly - as granny says - mistake made, you held your hands up ,lets all move on rather than go on and on. Glad you felt back on track with eating plan and having been thrown by such a lousy day.
Eating plan didn't quite go to plan today, we left lunch behind from trip to OH's house to do work and only got back an hr ago so I did some quick bangers and mash . Divine sausages though from butchers.

Not long til I'm in bed: sooooo tired and was working too hard today. Car is making funny noise. Never rains but it pours eh.
Was going to write more but ZZZZzzzzzzzzzzz

Thanks peeps:D he is organizing a meeting so we can be talked at soon:rotfl:

As for food it is hard to get back on track, stay with it peeps we will get there, the xmas food will be a long distance memory and we will stay strong and overcome, we can do it, let's keep doing it and forget xmas ever happened:rolleyes::D

I have my weigh in in a few days. Not looking forward to it though lol. Dont think I will have done too well. I was good all through December until xmas day where I had some naughty stuff like tiny pizzas lol. For xmas I got quite a few chocolates which I just cant seem to keep away from so its not been good since xmas day. Im hoping I will still have lost something though, and I did get into a lower sized pair of jeans so must have lost something!
Im thinking of starting my food diary again to show the nurse so that I will be good. I think if I do that then if I eat anything naughty it will be recorded so I will look bad and I dont want that lol.

I would start the food diary again, it is very good thing to do and see what you eat when why etc and like you say you don't want to see anything naughty there do you?:D
I have been back to mine and logged things like the xmas weight taken the measurements again, gone back over what worked when I ate this and that what happened it is good to jog the memory and keeps you on track and there you can see that you have lost and can do again that is the main thing because finding the determination or motivation especially after the lovely xmas foods we all have eaten can be extremely hard , it is not as if in this freezing weather we can fall back on salads:rotfl: stay positive if you have lost fantastic, if it is not as much as you thought try to make it better next time, don't give up xmas is finished a new year has begun and you are going to be in a much slimmer pair of jeans before you know it;)

Victory, ure boss sounds like a complete !!!!!!. Maybe you should ask to have a meeting with him. Explain that you know that you done wrong, but there's no need for him to keep reminding you. You have learned from your mistake. Is this happening in front of customers btw?

There are 12 of us working there, on saturday there was 4 of us in, when I went on Monday all the others knew about what I did on saturday, all of them had been told and were offering all sorts of comfort words telling me he had done it, they all had made mistakes at some stage and it should as you say be dropped and let it go, etc, the customers could hear if they chose to listen but no, not infront of the customers, just infront of our lot over and over again:rolleyes:
Oh and by the way the hours spent thinking I had drugged the wrong person with the wrong meds and what a disaster I had caused I was told last night not by my boss who could of at least told me to ease my worry that what I had given the wrong person was skin cream:rolleyes: harm done yes obviously, me i nthe wrong definetly but I gave out cream:rolleyes:

Hi,

I know its early but I am preparing myself for the summer holiday. Dont want to have a belly when going to Florida

I do some exercise each day, about an hour with Wii Fit and Cardio Training. Dont laugh, its great fun and it works, though I have one huuuuge problem:

Sweets! How can I stop myself eating sweets? Its usually at night, when I am going crazy for sweets. I tried tangerines, bananas, water... the worst thing is, that once you have a sweety, you want more... I know it sounds strange, but its true!

My BMI/Weight gets punished on the next day straight away.

Any help??

Thanks

Hi Mic2904, welcome & good luck with your target! When I started losing weight it was my crisps habit I needed to break I did this by simply not having them in the house at all. After 2 or 3 weeks I didn't even particularly want them anymore (though now I'm maintaining and I fully trust myself not to eat loads, I have them occasionally).

Other options might be, instead of having sweets every night (if that's what you do) then set yourself designated days - e.g. start with every other day, then twice a week, once a week or something like that?

Or have a sweeties 'ration' for the week and, like kids pocket money, once it's gone, it's gone

I'd also suggest upping your activity level to burn more calories if you enjoy your treats, but you're already doing an hour a day which is great! Could you up the intensity in that hour?

Just want to add you're definitely doing the right thing getting ready for the summer now, if you stick with it you'll have the best possible chance of great results! Much better than waiting till two weeks beforehand and panicking!

Thanks for your advice! "Thankfully" my family is sending me over lovely sweets from Germany every other months (Germans do have the best sweets ) - I guess I need to stop that as well...

I guess I will try the pocket sweet method. A couple of sweets every other day. Dont get me wrong, I can do a day without sweet but then all of a sudden I am becomming desperate for sweets I have heard that maybe slice of bread with Nutella might give me enough energy for the day and should stop my Sweet (sugar) cravings..?!?!

I will try to get the intensity up, though I though an hour is great. Its roughly 40 mins Wii Fit (all sorts of exercises) and 20 minutes Cardio Training (Shape Boxing) - I am still trying to find a good routine anyway, so I might change it a bit anyway.

Ah, last but not least: I am not particualr big or anything, just a belly, which I think I am starting to get control of again. Apart from that, I am actually all right, I think....

Victory: ive forgotten the womans name now! She does alot of west end shows and 60 minute make over too i think? The one where she was thin and then piled on alot of weight, then went to america to see if she could get any work?

Apparently she got alot more male attention when she was heavier!

It was Claire Sweeny - used to be in Brookside & now does loads of tv presenting. I remember the programme - she ate whatever she wanted for 6 weeks and put on a stone, though she still looked gorgeous to me. I also watched the one with Louise Redknapp which was on over Xmas - The Truth About Size Zero. She's normally a size 8 but went on a crash diet for 30 days to get down to a size 4 (which is size zero in the US). She did it but really suffered and was very ill, plus she looked ghastly by the end, all skin & bone, not very attractive at all.

Well I finally plucked up the courage to get on the scales yesterday and have put on 5 pounds over Xmas, which is about right considering the amount of "naughty" food I was shovelling in. Back to the diet this week so --

FRED - can you PINK me please?? (ooh err missus!!)
