Mirry hun - I would like to join in the losing half a stone (omg I'm just putting choc in my mouth while typing this).

I have a bar of choc a day and I was thinking to be a bit stronger and cut it to just weekends.

Love Piglet:)

WOW, we all sound very alike........I feel I comfort eat when i have bad anxiety/panic days (doesnt help being afraid to go out).
----------------------------------------------------
We could all follow what ever eating plan we like, infact it would be good if we could do a variety of different plans to see which one has the best results. I lost 1 stone on the slimming world plan earlier this year and then put 1/2 a stone back on.

Any great recipes we could share would be nice.

I could do with losing a lot more than half a stone but I have to start somewhere! I'll definitely join in, probably go back on SLimming World as that worked for me (green days with chip's, yay!)

As for Christmas I thought I would change my ways, I used to get all the shopping done on Christmas Eve only, this year I have finished already!

14-11-05, 17:21

14-11-05, 18:53
what about putting your weight down like this;

*st 9lb


Id prefer to start TOMORROW because now weve commited ourselfs - LETS GET ON WITH THE JOB!

I will post in my "WEIGH IN" TOMMOROW then if ok with you all? make MONDAYS our weigh in day. I think it may help keep us focused over the weekend.

14-11-05, 18:59
I agree the sooner we start the better. As some people are uncomfortable are posting their weight, maybe we could do it like Slimming World (only class i've been to not sure if others do it) where you only post your weight loss or gain. Not your actual weight.

Alice
14-11-05, 19:14
hiya!

Mirry this is a fab idea, i'd love to lose a bit of weight and lose my chubb as i call it lol.

How about we all post our BMI and how much weight we want to lose?

We could have some rules as well, like everyone has to do a little bit of exercise every day, even if its just running up and down the stairs or sit ups etc, and we could post what we've eaten and share recipes etc

hurrah, no i have no excuse not to lose weight, and i give you all permission to yell at me if i eat a doughnut hehe

Ok
My BMI is 20.9 my waist is 27 inches, and id like to lose half a stone. I had a doughnut today, but only cos my housemate brought it back for me and it would be rude not to eat it lol, but thats the last one, healthy eating from now on!

Piglet im really tall as well, does that mean we can weigh a lot more and blame it on our height, or is there really not that much difference?

Good luck everyone, im looking forward to this, hopefully this thread will shame me into sticking with the diet and not slacking hehe

Alice x

Piglet
15-11-05, 17:59
Alice hun how tall are you and what do you weigh (if thats not too rude).

I don't like what the scales are saying to me as I have dropped a dress size this year and feel much more toned but am heavier than ever!!!

Love Piglet :)

You're welcome and honestly it is so true. Many short female athletes are quite heavy purely due to muscles! So go back to being a Piglet not a Piglot!

Piglet
Im 6 ft and i weigh 11 stone, but im a size 10/12, i just want to lose a bit of chubb and tone up a bit. My short friends weigh around 8/9 stone, and are around 5ft6ish, im sure there cant be 2 extra stone in 6 inches of extra height?!

Piglet
15-11-05, 22:49
Thanks Alice - you are a poppet for disclosing such important information.

I'm a couple of inches shorter but a stone heavier than you according to my dusty old scales upstairs. I wear a 14 and was more than happy until I weighed myself as I was under an illusion I was the same weight as you and it seems I'm not.

I don't think I will weigh myself again for another couple of years now.

Lol.

Love Piglet :)

On the height/weight charts you can be up to 13 stones if you're 6ft and up to 12st 7lbs if you're 5ft 10. So Piglet you're not overweight for your height at all! I am 5ft 6 and can be up to 11 stone without being overweight. Many of us feel we are bigger than we want to be but are not actually overweight.

ok jumped on scales iam....stone and 1 pound like i said i already go to slimming world but think this will help also Rhowes you asked how much i have to lose about 4 stone i think and i have already lost just over 2 so half way there, i was size 24 and just brough jeans size 16 never thinking i would see that size again lol, would like to get to size 12, Mirry you asked about fat free desserts if you do the slimming world diet muller lite yogurts are free try puting them in the freezer fot about 20 mins they come out like ice cream great with strawberries kim

mirry
16-11-05, 07:30
Thanks for the dessert Ideas, I have such a sweet tooth so need something to keep me going. Put on my jeans this morning and ohhh they feel so uncomfortable I cant bear it anymore.
I went to tescos with my hubby last night and purchased lots of healthy food and loads of very low fat yogurts (muller and Irish yogurt).

I dont mind If on Monday everyone sends me a message telling me the results of there weight loss then I can put it on here in a list like this.........

Piglet 1lb
kim 1lb
keith 1 lb
MIRRY 7lb > LOL

what you all think ? [Wow!][Yeah!][Yes!].........[No]:(

mirryx

mirry
16-11-05, 07:51
Think it was Gareth who posted about having a sandwich without mayo ?

Heres a great way of being able to eat a load of mayo without feeling guilty.

Hellmanns extra light mayo (2 level TBSP) = 1.5 syns
Now if you have a food processor you can purchase a box of silken TOFU and put half the box in the food processor with 2 level TBSP of the mayo.......add some pepper and salt and lemon juice.BLEND.
You end up with a cup full of mayo for only 1.5 syns,
you could then use this to make colslaw or potato salad.

Lisa thats true - I don't think I look overweight although neither do I look skinny anymore (I was such a thin kid) its just that it sounds massive that amount of stones!!

Anyway just in the middle of doing my roots with a new hair dye from a health food shop as the ammonia in my usual one is really getting unpleasent to use.

See you later.

Mad thats why i struggle with calorie control diets , I just love my food too much..........If you considered doing Slimming world you can eat all day and still loose weight .Being hungry isnt good.
My friend introduced me to Slimming world in January and I just couldnt believe how much food you can eat.

for Breakfast today I had
2 slices toast (B)and a yogurt and a cup of tea.

for lunch I am going to have a baked sweet potato with cottage cheese and baked tomatos and mushrooms with salt and pepper.....followed with a yogurt and fruit. (ALL FREE FOOD)

for tea tonight I am having a huge plate of ;
syn free chips and 170g cod (B) and mushy peas and pickled onions mmmmmmm
then macoroni pudding made with my milk allowance (A) and sweetners.

Now this means I still have one more (A) choise= 2 baby bel cheeses.

OH and sometime thru the day I can have a tube of ROLO's = 11 syns

In between all this I can eat loads of fruit and more very low fat yogurts.

You can buy slimming world magazines in the shops with loads more ideas.

I now feel very determined after seeing her do that.

WELL DONE MAD (you make me mad lol)
If you hold 1lb of sugar in your hands, its alot of weight to loose.

OK, 5 weeks to go mission Still possible.

I am making a quiche for lunch......

mix 4 eggs with 2 pots of very low fat cottage cheese,
fry up some onions and mushrooms with spray light,
mix all togather with salt and pepper and place in a flan dish ....bake for approx 1/2 hour on gas 5.[:P]

well done kim 5 dress sizes to drop is fantastic
piglet and mirry some people loose weight after the second week my sister is like that so dont give up
i went to the nutrisionist on sat for anxiety and she has advised me to cut out all sugar including reduced and low sugar things and wheat and caffiene and strawberrys grapes and mushrooms so i am going to try as she was very expensive will let you no nexy week if i looseshe said sugar really disrupts our levels and then we can get surges of adrenaline wjich is a panic atack. will give it a good go ie three months and see if it helps

mads x

mirry
21-11-05, 17:03
Hi Dan,
Your nutritionist may be right about sugar effecting the adrenaline rush, quite often if i eat sugar I feel hot in my face like Im getting a slight fever - especially if its chocolate (does chocolate contain caffine?).
I think avoiding wheat isnt so bad , I buy special flour sometimes like rice flour (which you can eat on slimming world days) and mix it with oats and artificial sweetners to make a crumble and its really nice.
I dont know why mushrooms are avoided ? maybe because it contains too much fungus ?
Let us know how your special diet goes.

21-11-05, 19:14
Hi well jumped on scales i lost 2 ponuds this week, if you not lost any do you think your eating enough, its as bad as eating too much, i always do a food diary just to keep track of what iam eating, i know the weeks i dont do this i either stay the same or put on just an idea, if you doing the slimming world diet pasta and sauce by batchelors are free but only some flavours,if you dont have a book let me know and i will tell you what they are.

22-11-05, 07:54
Well done KIM,

2 lb is alot to loose in a week.
I will start eating the pasta again for green days......trouble is I get bored with pasta but am feeling desperate as I think its 4 and 1/2 weeks to xmas........If I dont knuckle down to it now, it will be too late.[No]

Last night I had quorn burgers with potatoes and veg and for dessert a small bowl of rice pudding.
Let me know what other slimming world ideas you have kim ,do you have any good soup recipes ?
I am making lentil soup today to keep me going (gives me wind lol).

I'm afraid i'll just have to support you all on this one as I'm a bit of a stick insect. I think its great that you are all supporting each other with this though, xmas is the best time to do it (not!!), so it should be a challenge to get the pounds off. Good luck to you all. I'll see if I can put some weight on!! I reckon with 3 kids, there will be at least 15 selection boxes!! Keep strong everyone, you know you have the willpower!!

oooooo thanks for the support Lesley,
You have kept me going for the day after reading your post!


This is a question for DAN...........
I would like to follow your special diet (the one you have been recommended) to see if it helps me loose weight and help my anxiety.
Can you give me some ideas of what you eat ???
Yest I tried and was stuck for ideas ?

I had for breakfast: porridge oats.
I had for lunch: plain tuna and eggs and cucumber and tomato
I had for dinner: home made lentil soup and a low fat non sugar yogurt.

not alot but I was surprised how filling these foods are but I miss the mayonaise/white bread ect

mirryx

Madwoman
23-11-05, 09:55
thanks for the offer of the burgers mirry but i'll pass, lentil soup? it all sounds a bit windy to me!

yesterdays menu
I had 2 brown toast for breakfast
4 brown salmon salad sandwiches
pork casserole for tea

2 glasses of red (and half a small pizzza ooh er!!)

Mirry,

I am still the same hun - I have been watching what I eat - and its alot lol!!!:D

I am having a rethink here and I am going to aim for not putting any on during the festivities - I did this quite well last year.

I will have some of the treaty food but will balance it with healthy eating the bulk of the time. This suits me as I hate feeling bloated anyway.

Well done you!!!!!!

Love Pig xx

kim, i am going to try out those soups (6 days till xmas) help!

I purchased some new scales that also tell me my fat levels, I was devastated because it says i am 3 lb heavier that my old scales but my fat levels are in normal range.

My husband whos a skinny bones was told on it that his fat levels are way too high (associated with obese people) i couldnt stop laughing at him about it but hes worried how can he be skinny yet his fat levels HIGH? anyone have any ideas?

he also tried my friends scales that say the same result!
