Lose Weight 12

madhouse

I have been trying to follow slimming world without going to the classes and had noticed the books from ebay are really expensive. I read yesterday on another site that they can be bought direct from slimming world a lot cheaper. I ordered this morning and had no problem when they asked if I was a member and I said no. So here is the link for anyone else wanting the books direct:

Sorry if this is a duplicate post as I could not find it anywhere else.

Elrqueen is your boss incapable of going to get his/her own lunch?!

It's more a case of being so spoilt by me for so long that yes, he probably is. On the other hand if I don't feed him he gets awfully grumpy in the afternoon - my ears cannot stand the shouting :eek: This is partly where the 'lying' to myself comes in. He doesn't ask for anything in particular for lunch and will eat whatever I give him so I have no excuse for not feeding him only things I am allowed to eat.

Is she/he slim and has no probs with what they eat?

No

Would your boss want you to be under pressure to buy for two if he/she knew how hard you are trying?

Again, No

If you must eat infront of others and cannot go out for a lovely walk at lunchtime or eat alone then look at their foods and see it covered in hairs, dirt, yucky stuff like Paul Mackenna says and that will put you off it:rotfl: :rotfl: ICK

Making a weekly meal planner will help, take in your own lunch, only buy foods off your list that make recipes/lunch/dinner/breakfast, know what you are going to eat and when helps...

This is the brick wall that I am trying to tear down :mad: My boss lets me fetch the dog into work everyday so lunchtime is always taken up by a good walk for us both. Trouble is by the time I've sorted dinner for my boss and I I've taken nearly a 2 hour lunch. He doesn't mind, especially if I'm feeding him but then I seem to struggle to keep on top of my work. I am only answerable to myself for my work so this is where I really, really need to get myself organised

I've updated the list as far as I can see for lois - added the last four names to it.

My that's a long, long list

Finally though - victory - you really are a gem :T I'm also going to print off your latest list of tips to pin on my fridge. At this rate I will have a 'shrine' to you :rotfl: On the plus side - if I keep printing out and pinning things onto my fridge I won't be able to get into it to eat things I shouldn't!!

I have lost 1 pound this week.:D

kfer_kaz

grrrrrrrrrrrrr stayed the same....what's that all about

I got the dreaded words 'at least you didn't put any on' don't you just hate that saying especially when you feel you have done enough to lose at least 1lb:mad:

ok time for drastic action, time to give this big butt of mine a good kicking. arrgghhhh don't say it :eek: yes it's time for....(drum roll please) EXCERCISE :eek:

I haven't excercised for years think I will start off with a half hour walk in the mornings. see how I go from there.
I suppose cutting out take aways might help too :rolleyes:
I do love my once a week treat of a take away tho.

good luck to everyone else who is due to weigh in today.

mmmmm PIZZA I have managed to steer clear of it. I have cooked it for the family a couple of times since starting my weight lose and am pleased to say have not given in to temptation ................YET!!!:o

Biniboo, How do you do it? Pizza, cake and choclate are my weakness but I have found a cup of low cal options as a treat once I have the kids to bed usually stops the chocolate one now to solve the others. This time when I make cake I am making chocolate cake as I don't like it and Pizza only had 2 very small slices of home made pizza on a thin base with just a little cheese so have done a bit more walking so now not feeling so bad. So hopefully I have turned a bad day into an OK one if I can face 30 mins on the stepper once the kids are in bed.

Hello to everyone,

Well done to all those who've lost.

Unfortunately I have to ask you to put me down as a 1lb gain for this week. Trying to be philosophical and thinking it could be worse.

Good luck to all for the next week. Really enjoy reading all the messages when I can.
