Weight Loss the Old Style Way! Part 8. Please read posts 1 and 2 before posting.

As a bit of motivation when we started this plan I decided to measure myself as a few others have done. I jotted them down and today I took them again to see what has been shifting as I have lost 11 lbs or so, so far.
I have lost 1" from each of my upper arms, bust and thighs. 1.5" from my waist and hips plus half an inch from my calves ! Chest has stayed the same though I don't have a lot of fat there and I am only 1 " bigger than when I was a teenager so not planning on getting too small in that department.

I was very surprised and pleased with this and it will motivate me further as we travel on this life plan together :T

1/2 Margharita pizza with extra tomatoes and mushrooms added. Banana

ergh, writing today off well and truly. I won't go into the horrid details of my food choices but I'm sat here feeling sickly and bloated.

It's not a nice feeling, wish I knew why we did it to ourselves!

I shall get up tomorrow and take the doggy on a long walk. I never feel like sabotage when I've enjoyed a good walk.

Last piece of DD birthday cake shared out and eaten so no more temptations around.

Having a half hour lunch break really encourages lean eating (just time for cup of soup with a roll and a banana).

:T trinity-enigma well done :T! Almost 5 years since I had a cig and what a difference, I'm physically, mentally and financially so much better off since I stopped. You'll be saying the same before long, welcome to the club

Just adding a square of lemon drizzle cake to today, baked specially for me as I was giving a talk this evening. Well I couldn't exactly refuse, could I? Will work harder at exercise class tomorrow to try and work some of it off

Hi everybody and well done to the losers and STSers!

I'm not weighing myself this week, because I had two very "bad" days at the weekend - both involving copious amounts of high-calorie alcohol (strong lager on one day, Guinness on the other day) and one leading onto crisps and Bombay mix

Rather than see that I've put on weight and then get annoyed with myself, I'm just going to forget about those days and pretend I'm starting afresh.

I need to find some way of coping when I'm at music gigs - I just associate them with drinking a lot :rotfl:. I did start drinking JD instead of pints, and having a pint of water as well, but not everywhere sells it. JD not water, obviously.

Anyway, onwards and upwards (well, hopefully downwards).

Oh - and anybody who tried my breakfast with the microwaved porridge and fruit, I should have said DON'T FORGET TO PUT A PLATE OR SOME OTHER COVER OVER THE PORRIDGE BOWL!!! Otherwise you will have a microwave full of spattered porridge - and no breakfast ....

I'd like to join if it's not too late? :hello:

I've tried to lose weight so many times before, so I'm starting small and aiming for 7lbs.

I'm so ashamed of myself. I had a proper binge last night. Had a prawn and cocktail sauce dipper, a shapers bar and half a bag of wine gums. And I also had dinner (Omlette and beans.)

I had been so good yesterday and just ruined it all. I don't know why I do this. I wasn't even hungry by the end of it but could not stop binging. Starting to think I have serious food issues. I could just cry.
