Had a very bad week this week, I need to get back on track but it's one of those weeks where I could eat my own arm.

Oh dear. That could make life a bit more awkward than just carrying a bit of extra weight.
I don't recommend it. It might be a bit sore as well.

Hahaha be loaded with calories as well knowing my luck.

I've decided I'm gonna relax the diet a bit this weekend and get back on it on Monday.

Thanks for putting me in a coma ...cheers lol

I lost 1lb this week, amazing considering I've eaten like a pig.

Back on track this week

Have a good week everybody x

I've started putting on the weight that I lost while in hospital. I'm not happy. I bought those lipobind tabs today, probably a waste of money but I've never tried any type of tablets ever for weight loss, so even if they just work psychologically, it's worth a try!

I lost 16lb in june, then my old joint problems kicked in..so no more gym for a while....grrrrrrr

Hello Peeps

How are you doing lately

I'm not doing too brilliantly eating wise but am doing a lot more walking

Hope you are all doing well and haven't fallen off the wagon

Hello Suzie Fairy.

I just seem to be plodding along the last couple of weeks. 1lb last week and the same the week before. So I've really tried harder this week, it's weigh in day tomorrow so I'm hoping I've lost something. I really want to reach the 100lb target by Christmas, 80 down with 20 to go! :Countdown smiley:

Keep it up people! Have a great week.

x

afternoon all ... i'm back off a 3 week holiday from the states.. and I feel like a doughnut.. thou I never ate one... (Lori.... whats happening to krispy creme outlets.. only 3 left in north CA !!!)...
Anyway... I don't have scales at home.. and I travelled home in the same trousers as I went in.. but god I feel like a beached whale !!!! I'm at fat club tomorrow for weigh in and I'm gonna say, 'just write it in the book and don't say a word'... then I will look and reach for the vodka bottle when I see what damage I have done !!! hahaha...

Since my two relaxed weeks I have not got back in stride. So I too have put some weight back on. 4lb, to be exact.

Why is it you have to be strict on losing it and when you 'relax' it piles on so bloody quick.. so annoying... its like all the fat cells say 'yeah.. we knew she would cave.. quick grab it and cling to it... '

Welcome back, pgtips! You were in California, huh? Do you have family there?

We have a handful of Krispy Kreme stores here, including one dangerously close to my house. I'm not really a donut lover, but I LOVE Krispy Kremes. However, we pretend it's not there, and avoid it (at least *I* do--my husband is home unsupervised all day...for all I know he's a regular customer!!)

Good luck with the weigh-in, although, it can't be THAT bad if you're still wearing the same trousers!

I'm back on track... got something to aim for

I haven't had carbs after 3pm and it is dropping off

Had a little concoction of my own imagination tonight, lemon prawns and runner beans and it was blooming lovely. I have lost 5lbs since sunday being too good this week to get the feel good factor and then slipping into sensible eating.

Hi Lori... we had a week in South Carolina then had two busy weeks all over California... Clovis, Danville, Monterey and Davis... 3 days in San Francisco, saw a 49ers game.. then a baseball game.. went to Alcatraz... Whale watching (saw humpback whales and dolphins) off Monterey and done the aquarium there too.. oh and six flags theme park.. !!!
I did have to undo the trousers on the plane but it was a long flight !!!!!!! thats my story and I'm sticking to it...

Sorry Lori.. yes my husband is from CA... so we do get free bed and board...

Yogi.. thats interesting about carbs.. as one of hubbies sisters doesn't eat any...and she is pencil thin.... maybe a little rice sometimes.. she even 'holds' the croutons on a ceaser salad !!!

That story works for me!

Sounds like an event-packed trip. Aren't you exhausted?

I know need a holiday to get over the holiday !!!

Isn't that the way, though? These days I much prefer a "lay at the beach" vacation. Last fall, we bought a little house on a lake, about an hour or so from home, and we've spent quite a few lovely, quiet weekends there, and a couple of spells of 5 days each. TBH, I think I prefer to spend my vacations, you know, RESTING.

they are my sort of holidays too.. but now I will be touring England and Scotland as hubby wants to 'see' this country... I told him I've seen it all on the telly... how bad is that !!

Go when the weather is bad, so you spend your entire time holed up in a B&B somewhere....

Nice snaffle there Lori... you have a point... and bad weather isn't hard to come by over here...

In a way it IS pretty much like that actually.

3lbs off this week Back on track finally!! I'm aiming for the 100lb target by Christmas so trying really hard now!! Only 17lb to go!!

Yogi - I try not to eat carbs , I always feels so bloated and lethargic when I do, I've cut out potatoes and only have bread once a week, I do miss eating pasta though!!

PG your holiday sounds fabulous, I'd love to see more of the States. Only ever been to Florida myself.
The food is awesome isn't it, I remember in my 2 week Floria holiday I put on nearly a stone I ate like it was going out of fashion.

Tigi well done on 3lb... wow nearly 100 lb.. you are well on track with only 17 to go... well done...
Well I went to fat club to be weighed and the damage was 4.5lb.. soooooooooo I'm not to disappointed as works out at a pound and a half a week that I was away...
So back on track and had a tasty salad for dinner and vodka instead of wine !!!! lol...

Lori have you heard of 'five men burger and fries' ????

You mean Five Guys Burgers and Fries? Not until you mentioned it. And now I see there's one going in pretty close to me!

Are they good? Are they responsible for your 4.5?

That's really good, btw, to be gone on holiday that long and only gain that much. I guess that's what a really active holiday will do for you.

see, i only eat about 1500 kcal a day (or less) but i havent lost any weight... :/

its bugging the hell out of me... i want to get down to less than the sexy asians i like...

its just not happnin :/

Lori.. yes thats it... and yes they are probably responsible for a pound and a half..... give them a go... they are GOOD !!! there were five of us and they advised us not to get fries each just two large ones.. and we couldnt finish them !!!!! they also do sweet potato fries too !!!! yummy....
Lets hope they are close but not to close !!!

Evening Ickle... hope the weight shifts soon.. I have been told if you eat 'not enough' the body goes into starvation mode and holds onto everything.. just a thought .. xx

hello

i've heard that too, but i find that i eat that little kcal just by only eating when i'm hungry... its really annoying, cause i'm not starving myself, OR stuffing myself :@

Mmmmmm.... I LOVE the sweet potato fries! We have a Kidd Valley too close to our house, and I always get their sweet potato fries and tell myself it's not really fries.

What are 'In and Out' like.. our chef 'Gordan Ramsay' says they are his favourites.. didn't get to try those !!! did do Carls Junior thou.. !!!! I really did want a Krispy Kreme thou... well actually five wouldv'e been better than one !! oink oink

I may have been to an In and Out, but there aren't any in the state of Washington. That's funny that Gordon Ramsey likes them... somehow I don't see him at a greasy burger joint.

The damage may have been more than 4.5 if you'd have had any Krispy Kreme donuts.

I was surprised at that too.. maybe he was trying to 'be in with the Americans !' whilst over there...

If I could've been in a dark room with hot fresh Krispy Kremes I would've gladly put on a stone .. for the pure pleasure.... I'm laughing as I type this...

That would suggest to me then that 1500 is what you are using up as well - status quo.
Maybe if you drop a few cals for a bit 50 to 100 at the most and not for too long, it might encourage the weight do drop off a wee bit more. Conversely a few MORE cals,might actually work in helping shed a few more pounds, even though that may sound a bit cotrary to losing weight. It's to do with what pgtips was saying about the body 'holding on to stuff'.

almost at the end of my reaaaallllly strict week... next week it will be back to normal meals and i might move my carb limit up to 6pm. I am struggling a bit

but 7lbs in the first week i can live with the boredom only 4 weeks to my night out and i would "LIKE" to lose another stone but if i get into the next stone (8lbs) I'll be happy.

The mention of a strict diet has me drooling for forbidden stuff... 7lb in the first week !!! thats some going...

I am home alone tonight so I have just had a kebab !!!!! i'm useless.. lol lol

heylo

Hope we are all still doing well in here I am doing pretty darn good at the moment if i do say so myself yay lol

glad you are doing good... I think I am !!! having smaller portions and have cut out potatos for the week... prob had to much alcohol thou !!!!

2 and a half pounds off for me this week. Reached the 6 stone target, Yay!

Is having sex a good way to lose weight?
