Old Style Weight Loss 2020 - Part 1
Comments
-
Hi everyone, I don't know how I escaped from sitting on the naughty step but I am coming on to report a loss of 4lb. I feel a bit embarrassed as I have not been eating very healthily apart from the last couple of days. I am 2lb away from getting in a lower stone bracket so I will really try this week. Good luck to all my fellow Monday weighers and everyone else on here.6

Well done all for the losses and STSs, and patentgirl, only putting on 1lb on an all inclusive holiday is amazing!!
I'm still struggling with the new layout and posts don't seem to have date/time marks anymore so I'm finding it difficult to work out where I had read up to.
I somehow managed a -2lb loss this week, despite having made up for Friday's enforced sobriety by drinking rather a lot at a friend's birthday party on Saturday. I was then feeling quite sorry for myself yesterday and ended up having crisps, twiglets and a Chinese takeaway. The one sensible thing I did was to boil myself some rice, rather than ordering egg-fried, to go with my dinner.
Best of luck everyone for the week ahead xx6 -
Many thanks for your kid words about only putting 1LB on think I am back in groove see what scales say on Wednesday
Well done Dumpling that is amazing loss and Izadora and Bluedoggy well done too it is strange when we dreading scales we loose but if been extra good often stay same.

Well done, Dumpling!
These smileys are quite feeble compared to the old ones, arent they? If there are less "emotions" to choose from, how can it be an improvement?
Food over the last few days...
Normal dinners and stuff
entire family tub of ice cream
Seven flakes
Frys chocolate cream
Digestive biscuits
Crisps.
Brownie and cream.
I have completely lost the plot.Funnily enough, I sort of feel better for it.
Todays plan..
Wholewheat spaghetti bolognaise
Roast beef , potatoes etc
porridge if I get hungry.

Thank you for your hard work I don't like the site either x
Keep positive some really good weight losses xI must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over and through me. When it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
When the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.7 -

Thanks Brambling - how frustrating for you.
I’m not liking this layout on a mobile at all - need to dig out my old laptop I think!
Well done to all today’s weighers (?) - dumpling that’s a great loss.
Honey, I could quite easily eat those 7 flakes today I think!I’ve been so good food-wise this week but I’ve been feeling a bit blue and un-motivated since yesterday. I can’t even force myself to go to gym today,
Will just have to fend off the biscuit tin as best I can till the cloud lifts!
Enjoy the rest of the day everyone:)6 -
Good evening everyone
dumpling, Izadora, janiebaby congratulations on your losses! 👍👍👍
Honeythewitch what a list! I know I can’t be trusted with tubs of ice cream, so never let myself buy it.I’m sure that sometimes the only way to deal with a craving is to overdose on it.
Brambling thank you for all your efforts I’m sure you’ll manage to sort it soon!
Bfh I hope you soon feel better and the blues blow away with Ciara
This site is quite weird now: all the spacing is odd; I had to edit all my previous posts because where I’d been typing “D” followed by a colon, for “dinner” in the meal list, it had been displayed as the “grin” emoji (it just bugged me). It’s not comfortable to use any more, either.
Anyway, today I ate:
B – bacon and eggsL – mushrooms grilled with cheese, salad (watercress and chicory); skyr with pomegranate seedsD – Bolognaise with mashed turnips; yoghurt with blueberriesS – two squares of 85% chocolate“Tomorrow is another day for decluttering.”Decluttering 2023 🏅🏅🏅🏅⭐️⭐️
