Miss Kassy Getting Sassy (Re-Start)

Hi girlies, just a quick check in.

Hi Elm, how are you keeping?

Yesterday was a canny day again and had about 1500 calories. There are so many sweets and goodies left over from xmas that I do have a few but I am writing everything down and counting every calorie in every sweet, etc so although some of the stuff I am eating is not eactly healthy I am still witin my calories and its good to ease in haha.

We have heard the gym is mega bust at the mo so we gonna go back in February when people start to drop out.

We have watched some cracking films the past 2 nights - highly reccomend them - 'Contraband' and 'Friends With Kids'. Defo worth a watch.

Were going to see that new film about the Sunami on Friday - Impossible. Cant wait. Have been advised to take handkeys. Were also going for a cavery before hand which will be nice. I'll try load up on new potatoes and vedge tho so am not too naughty haha.

Speak to you all tomorow xxx
 
Hello

What a roller coaster of emotions it has been over the last week, youngest son left home on Monday arrived safely in Sydney last night to start his new life. Managed to keep smiling until the final goodbye on Monday morning (his Dad and brother took him up to Heathrow), but at work on Monday people only had to talk to me and I kept bursting into floods of tears! The house seems very very quiet now.

We had a surprise party for him on Friday which was brilliant as he had no idea until he walked into the bar where over 30 family and friends had turned up to wish him good luck. He was rather drunk by the end of the night!.

Diet has not been my main focus at the moment got on scales looks like I put on 3lb over Christmas which I was ok with, must try and get back focused, have a holiday 10th Feb so would like to start losing again for that.

Speak soon

Bin - Big hugz bin. How old is your son again? What an experience this is for him going to Australia. Sometimes I wish I done that when I was younger. Sounds like he had a good send off. How you feeling? Have you signed up to Skype or Facetime? Are you both of Facebook too? The good thing is there are so many better ways to stay in touch these days. Hey, 3lb gain over Xmas aint bad at all. Where are you going in february? Gives you something to aim for.

I am struggeling getting back on the wagon but I havnt been too bad, its just coz there are so many left over sweets in the house and after work and I cant help pop one in my mouth every time I walk past haha. I was good right up till bed time yesterday and had 300 calories worth of ket in bed whilst watching a film so that took my calories up to 1700 yesterday. Like I keep saying tho, I am easing myself in so in a week or so I should be in full swing again. Feeling really podgy at the mo and all bloated and photos of me over xmas I look much bigger than on my holidays. Dont like it one bit. Grrrrrrrrr. Caught a glimpse in mirror olast night too and my kangeroo puuch looks terrible and much bigger. Cant wait to feel a bit slimmer again.

Contemplating wether to get weighed this Monday or give myself another week of easing in, then get weighed. I just think if I get on scales and am heavier than anticipated I will freak out. My work pants are tight and cant get the top button fastened which isnt gud. Need to focus harder!!!!!!!

Have you all set yourself goals for this year? I have put mine on my signature below xxx
 
Hi all

Well, I am in total binge mode today. Already had 2 pack of crisps, 2 toast and butter, chewy sweets and 2 cadbury roses. My drawer is full of crisps and chocolate and an unhealthy sarni for lunch. I have fell off the wagon big time and what do i do when I feel dissapointed - BINGE!!!!!

The Adonis and I had an argument last night and I stormed out crying. The thing is, its mine and my best friends joint birthday meal at a posh restaurant on 30th march and there are about 19 of us going who all know each other. Some are mine and marks friends who my friend has met quite a few times so its a nice little crowd. But the adonis invited his freind from work and his girlfriend who I hardly know and who my freind does not know from adam and he didnt even ask if he could ask them. I tried explaining its mine and anna's birthday and by all means invite them to the night out but it was rude to just invite them to the meal without asking. But he dosent see the problem. Although I have met them a few times (but hardly know them at all), my freind has never met them. I said I wouldnt want complete strangers at my birthday meal. He just dosent get where I am coming from. It was rude I think. Am I being unreasonable?

So last night as I was upset i binged on sweets. Then this morning I stupidly got on the scales and am up to 11.9. So that means I have put on half a stone since just before Xmas and a full stone since october!!!!! Wey, that just lead me to buy loads of binge food from the shop. I thought sod it, am out fior a meral tonight anyway. Might aswell just re-start proper on Monday now!!!!! BUT I WILL RE-START PROPER MONDAY. I have to! Were going food shopping on Saturday to get all healthy food for the week as all we have left in house is left over naughty food from Xmas so we gonna get it all used up this weekend (as I hate waste) and start proper fresh come Monday.

I am gonna aim to lose 5lb in the first 2 weeks then 2lb a week thereafter with is reasonable.

Foooooo, I am in the right mood for a rant haha.

How is everyone else doing? xxx
 
Awww, Kassy, sorry you are feeling pants. I get the same sod it mentality, when feeling upset. It's at times like this you realise just how emotive dieting is, especially if you have suffered with eating problems before, like binge eating.

Get reorganised this weekend, and commit from next Monday, I think it is just a bigger struggle to try and lose 'only' a stone or so, as it is to say lose five !! Plus, yoyo-ing is soul destroying and one of my worst 'habits', you've come so far, we know you can do it !!

Big hugs....

Diva x
 
Hey ladies :)I'm big and I'd like to say chubby but I'm def fat! So annoying, I'm actualy bloody starving all the time ATM so weird. nothing fills me up.
Kassy, I get you on the work friends thing, but men don't seem to have the 'friends' then 'close friends' thing. My hubs done stuff before, 'oh I told Tina your having a get together and she should ring you' I'll be like... 'what you do that for? I'm only having close friends,' he would say oh? I thought...you know,,as your friends you'd want to let her know..... (She was someone I saw every couple months for a catch up!) He would just do stupid things. I'd get so annoyed but he didn't get it. rambling on here!!!! Soz lol

So bin, poor you! How you finding it? Do you have empty nest syndrome? I know I will get that! I have actualy based so much of my life around my boys, done so much for them and with them, I struggle now they are older. I already feel lonely. Strange, I dread being left at home with my husband. But Australia, wow! Everyone I know who has gone out there had loved it, tbh England is not the best place to live now, even the weather is terrible. Bet you can't wait to visit!!!
I will read back a bit, as last post I read was when he was going to go. Which festivals you booked this year???

Hi diva :) btw will you ever move back to England? How long can you stay in America?

Got to choose a diet for tomorrw, keep changing my mind!

Hello Gals !!

How are you feeling Bin ?? I hope he arrived safely, and really these days it is so much easier to keep in touch, isn't it ?? Just imagine the old days, when we only had snail mail !! Yikes !! Australia, is a lovely country, I have extended family in Sydney, but before they lived there I had actually lived there myself too !! I hope you go later this year, it's been too long since my last visit, I would love to go back. Mr D, has never been, and he would love it !!

Zesty, I'm here ( in the US ) for good now !! It's fantastic !! Mr D and I are settled for good now !! I'm hoping to pop back for a quick visit in the Summer, but we have some other places lined up too, hopefully !! Which diet are you going for ?? Have you thought about rotating them, a lot of people swear by it, like a week or two on one, then jump onto another....to keep it always fresh, never boring....

WI tomorrow, eeekkkk !!!

Diva, do they chop and change? That's prob z good idea actualy . I not sure it'd either harcombe or slim n save... I'll decide tomorrw lol depending how hungry I am in the morning, x
 
Morning Gals !!

Is the decision made Zesty, diet wise ??? I stick with calorie counting as I already ' restrict ' my food choices being a Veggie, so a lot of diets are not for me !! The most adventurous I get is when I go Smoothie Crazy for a couple of days...luckily I LOVE Smoothies !!

Kassy, how ya feeling Hun ?? Did you have a good weekend ?? Have you managed to get your head back on board, diet wise ?? If I could I would send you a sh** load of Motivation, to give you a mega boost, a couple of good weeks, settling down and a few pounds gone and you would be BUZZING !! Have you thought about just doing Mon to Fri and then relaxing a bit ( not too much though !!) at the weekends, kind of one day off, then another day easing back onto it and then back EVERY Monday without fail to fight the fat ?? It would take a bit of Willpower, but it might help for a bit, and nice to think it's only a 5 day diet !! I find myself naturally doing this now, as with Mr D around at the weekends, we may go out for lunch, or have a Coffee or two !! So it always seems to be higher cals at the weekend....

Have a good week ! I dropped a pound, nice to see a 13 something on the scales !! Hehe !!

I decided, shakes, so had one then decided healthy eating went shopping for loads of veg and salad then enjoyed a lovely eve meal... Then at popcorn and crisps then small choc bar....
Stupid stupid stupid.....
 
Hello Ladies,

Have been having real issues with our internet then Minimins kept telling me my password was invalid then emailing me that my email ad was invalid!!! so have not been able to get on here. Hopefully the problems with Minimins are now sorted but changing our internet provider fed up of keep phoning them with problems.

My son is safely in Australia skyped on Sunday, the house just seems so quiet and empty, I know you have to let them go but as I said to Mr Bin why did he have to go so far!! First time Mr Bin and I have been alone in the house as we both had children when we met. I really hope everything works out for him there as he has worked hard getting this far changing all his qualifications etc.

Yes I can remember snail mail Diva, we lived abroad quite a bit when I was young, I went to boarding school while we lived in Egypt, and the only communication I got from my parents was a letter a week as we were not allowed to phone and even if we could it would have been to expensive. The world is definately a smaller place now.

Hello Zesty lovely to see you back I can not get into diet mode at the moment, I like you am really good during the day then evening time I am like a woman possesed eating every thing I can find. I really must go back to SW and weigh in this week I think it is the only way I will get back on track.

Hello Kassy hope you are ok.

Must go back to work, dont feel like work this afternoon.

Bin xx
 
Bin, Skype and email, texting even, have changed the world, so much more connected now. :) x I'm just flitting from diet to diet lol doing four diets in one day, start on shakes, eat, so do low carb, eat carbs, so do low fat, eat a cake then do cc lol then realise I'm well over and eat as much as I can cos I'm starting diet the next day xxx so silly like groundhog day all over again x
 
Hiya Gals

Ive been rushed offf my feet at work hence why I have been queit these last few days. We have 4 new members of staff starting on Monday so its all stations go here and I need to get ontop of my workload as I have 4 new people to do typing for. I dunno how am gonna cope!!!!!

I got back on diet Monday and so far so good. 1390 calories Monday and 1280 calories yesterday.

Zesty - soooooo good to see you back. Have missed ya. Its a nightmare getting back on the wagon. Maybe have a few days on the shakes as that always works for you then opt for low cal/low fat and just take it one day at a time. I can so relate though as it took me weeks to get back on track, and to be fair, have only been back on tracj 2 days but it could all go wrong yet haha.

Bin - You and Mr Bin should enjoy your alone time now. Pleased your son got there safe and sound. Is he all settled in? Is he working out there did you say? What doing?

Diva - I'm feeling much more positive. The thing is with me I am very ALL or NOTHING so for now I am trying to be good pretty much 7 days a week, but a tad more relaxed on a weekend. I have lots of meals out planned so its hard to be 100% strict but I am defo gonna make healthy choices. Yey - you down to the 13's woop woop. Thats great.

We have had loads of snow here. Its totally freezing.

Well, sorry it short and sweet but will check in again soon, just soooo busy here I dont have alot of time to pop on internet and still no computer/internet at home - cant afford it haha.

Happy dieting everyone and stick with it xxx
 
Hi ladies

Just a quick check in. I have continued to be good this week and can now fasten the button on the top of my work pants which is a good sign. I'll get weighed Monday morning and let you all know how I get on. Planning on an alcahol free weekend and gonna stick to diet 100% if I can. My mam is making me sum butternutsquash soup so gonna be eating that all weekend.

Suppoed to be out for a family meal tonight but dont think we will get there as snow due to be really bad by tonight. If I do go I will schoose healthy options though.

How are you all doing?

Did any of you watch Big Brother in 2010 when a dead canny lass called Josie won it? She was dead pretty but a bigger girl. She has lost soooo much weight, proper insperation. I have attached pic below...

Hi Kassy and gang !!!

Friday already !! Been having a mixed week really, Mr D has been ill again all this week, not ill ill, but his old back injury flared up terribly and he was back to the specialist for two nasty old procedures on his spine, and then of course he is off work and on strong pain medication :( So, I have been worried about him, and snacking a little when he is snacking.....bad, old habits, eh ?? Exercise is fine, it is one thing I will not compromise on at the mo.... and I do feel better after doing it :)

So, I think I have been top of my cals limit, maybe 3 days out of 5, Mon to Fri, this week....

Wow, Zesty, are you doing 3 different diets in one day !!! :eek: Hehe !!! I love eating ( and drinking ) out, but I always 'rest ' in Jan and Feb, no meals out and no booze, just to give my body a kickstart !! ( I do Valentine's Day, I'm cooking this year, doing four ( healthy, low fat ) courses....there will be wines, but I may or may not make an exception.... haven't decided yet !! I prefer this to the mayhem at most of the Restaurants on that day, timed seatings, people squeezed in, set or restricted Menu choices, etc.... Plus, of course, no worrying about who's driving, lol !!!

Happy Weekend !!!

Hello

Weighed in at SW and as expected had put on 3.5lb but am glad I finally plucked up courage to go as I knew if I left it much longer I would not go back and then the weight would creep back on. Still have not got back into diet mode properly am fine until about 8.00pm and then hungry or not just keep snacking but am trying to keep them healthy snacks!

We finally got a bit of snow yesterday all the schools were shut so the kids had a great time, I was the only one who got to work so I spent most of the day watching them sledging down the high street, I must admit I closed early and got home about 2.00pm.:)
Most of it had gone this morning some more is forecast tomorrow but looks like it will miss here, we don't get snow very often.

Off on holiday 3 weeks tomorrow can't wait it is 2 years since we have been on holiday.

Hope you have a good weekend
Bin xx



 
Wow Bin, have a great holiday !! We will be trying to sort out ours later next month, really want to go on a Beach holiday !!!

I got a STS this week, so I am replacing one of my meals with my homemade Smoothies for a couple of days this week , which should give me a kick up the bottom !! I want to see a loss next week !!

Where is everybody else ???

Diva x
 
I'm at the gym 7-8 times a week...kinda addicted lol I'm learning how to eat what I want but not the whole thing which is helping me lose fat every week.
 
Hiya Gals

Wey man, I was snowed off work Monday and Tuesday. We live really high up and have over 2ft of snow. I am back to work now as roads quite clear but back streets and paths are a nightmare. I hope it melts soon. Saying that, the mountains of snow will take weeks, if not months, to melt!

Weekend I was so so on my diet but then Monday and Teusday I was bad. Grrrrrrrr. Got back on it yesterday though. When all this snow shifts gonna get back to that gym. As it is at the mo cant even get the car out the street!

Bin - Where you going on ya holls again? bet you cant wait. Just try be as good as you can for next 3 weeks then really enjoy ya holls.

Diva - Poor hubby. Hope he is okay soon. Nowt worse than a bad back.

Elm - Good lass, think we need some of your motivation haha.

Sorry its a quick one, but with having a few days off am snowed under... literally! haha. Plus we have the 4 new members of staff heer that I have to do admin for so I dont seem to stop at the mo but will check in here as and when I can although it may not be as much as I would like to :(

Oh, got weighed on Monday and I havnt lost any weight which was a bit gutting as I was so good Mon - Fri last week. Hoping it was just coz of TOTM so we''ll see what the scales say this coming Monday.

Speak soon xxx
