Moo's year - 24 st start and restart

[Destamia]

Good evening everyone. And welcome to Beauty. Im not going to call you by your full name

So first things first. Did not have lunch today as I was little busy but made for myself paella with chicken and prawns and mussels. Add little 2 cream and parmesan.
Total 7 syns
Coffee 2 syns.


After my paella I was thinking to have few strawberries and save some for my hubby. Same time I wanted to look up what is going on here and you already know what happened dont you ?


Hehehe , I think my poor hubby wont get any strawberries today. Lol


Now something I have not asked you girls. Do you all have weight loss diary? If so could you link it. I only have time to come here when Im on my way to work or on my way back to home and haven't manage to make the search work for me.
I have been to selfish and seen only whats going on here. Beauty - thank you for pointing out that others have diary's too
Excited now. I think I will need few more boxes of strawberries if you all will link your journeys.

Same time in dreamland , I can see myself on scale tomorrow and losing last 1,5 lbs I need to get my 5 st award
I want award so I could do new photos. I told myself - no , you wont make photos every time you lose a pound. You will do photos when you lose a stone. So here I am, waiting.
And waiting
And waiting
Lol, think I need one more week to get it but its only one more week.

Friend from home send me a wave from FB and asked how am I doing. We were working together for 8 years. He never seem me slim. So I send him photo I made in bathroom at work. Yes - I was so desperate to hear I look great, that I did my first bathroom selfie. Rolf.
As expected my friend was surprised and said other co worker of mine is i shock. Lol. Thats all I needed to hear.
For you my dear girls only this one time offer ( giggle // ) I can show you my very first bathroom selfie.
Keep in mind - 5 months ago my apron string ( do you call it like this ?? ) did not go around my waist. And look at it now. …
Ok I think I have done my best to get my hopes up for tomorrow morning

[hez]

Morning gals. Destamia, well how did you do? I feel you pulled it off and you hit the 5st mark. xxx your 1st bathroom selfie is beautiful. You look great im not so brave just yet one day i will be lol i just dont do photos full stop
your food pics look scrummy. I had actually been googling recipes, and i had looked for a paella recipe. So i know where i will be getting the recipe when im back eating and binkybonk is right, it could have been a lot worse than strawberries!!! I love strawberries (she says drooling lol)
my daughter is still doing her plan 100%. She was working last night and found it really tough. She said the smell of everything was getting to her, she was nearly in tears telling us after lol she wanted to all the customers food. She has worked out if she loses 3 to 4 lbs a week, its some time in november she will be finished. She was on about her xmas dinner last night, she really loves her food, god bless her!
Had trouble again at work last night, had to ring the cops twice!!! I was spat at (thankfully she missed), punched, and was given a promise all my windows would be smashed! The joys of dealing with drunk people.
@binkbonk welcome to destamia's diary. We have taken over lol x
@solange you too are beautiful inside and out i love having the bants and the lols with you all (thats the term my 16yr old uses) x

[hez]

Well done destamia xxx

 

[solange]

Destamia, I cannot say how thrilled I am for you. Tears of joy here. I am a sentimental old fool!! :wow:

Hez, I am disturbed that you are having so much trouble at work. Be careful my lovely friend. Pleased to hear you daughter is doing good with her weight control and tell her we are thinking of her too. I say we because I tell my OH all our trials and tribulations!

Binky and Lucie, my little chicks, love to hear of your goings on! Gladdens this old heart to hear it all.

Thanks Destamia for letting us gatecrash. Am sure I wouldn't be the same without you. BTW I have lost one pound a day in three days just cutting out the bread and pots. I did have some rice with the curry last night but am still amazed. OOOOOh.

Weather is changing just as I ordered a sun dress. Sleeveless and maxi. Oh well, got it on sale and can always wear it as a nightie!!!
c'est la vie as they say in Paris. Love to all.

 

[Destamia]

Few free moments to come here and fill my daily diary.

First thing first. Yes I did it, I did it. Lol
But how I did it is totally different story. I was so sure I will gain. I have scale at home and they told me this morning when I got up that I have lost only 100 g. Less then 0,5 pounds. But I needed 1,5 lbs to get my 5 st. Plus I weight naked but I sure my sw group would not agree with me and do not allow to weight naked there. Lol.
And it was raining. I have only few items in my closet as we only moved here 6 months ago and money is little tights so not many cloths to choose from. Yet it had to be as light as possible.
And it was raining. Could not go out for run as scared to slip and hurt my legs.
My personal trainer got new job and seems no longer able to give class in weekend mornings. I needed to work out before my class. So I found most difficult work out video I could find ( using internet comments ) - 30 day shred. Maybe it because I have been training for 6 months now but it was not so scary yes it was hard but not hard enough for me. My dear hubby was almost die 'ing next to me. Lol
Yes - I made him to wake up and do work out with me
After we finished 30 day shred video he went for shower and I started with next work out videos. Then did my plank and wall sits all together 45 min.
Shower, dress up and step on scale - and disappointment. Missing 400 g. 1 lbs. I wont lie. I was so sad. And was thinking thats what you get when you have too much to drink and eat off plan
Next minute I was thinking back for last week and I asked myself if I could go back would I change something in last week ? And it was so simple - I would not. Nothing.
Went to sw meeting but was late ( cuz all my last min attempt to lose weight , lol ) and had to wait after the class to step on scale. I honestly think if I would not been late I would not be able to say - I did it.
So little cheat but who cares - I did it - hahahhah

Oh this will be long reply

Got home, made lunch ,
Veggie risotto with parmesan and fresh salad. Crisp bread and soft cheese. ( he) Melon and coffee.
Syns 3



On my way to work I had chocolate - 2 small cubes.
5 syns

Tea
Made big ball of sw chips with mint and yogurt dressing and ketchup.
3 syns.


Feeling good.

Want to thank you all for nice and warm words. Love you all together and every one of you separately. You are my safety net and you are keeping me going. Thank you all.
Think its time to do some work and we will see later.
Hugs for now

 

[hez]

That is a story and a half but i love the ending. Delighted for you hun, you did it. I am so proud of you. All your hard work paid off! That will keep you on a high, and carry you forward for the coming week too
5 stone gone, never to be seen again. It must be an awesome feeling xx

 

[solange]

Love the warmth of this thread. It is my daily fix! Better than any drug!! 30 day thread is tough and I have not done it for ages so you are again an inspiration Destamia. :superwoman:
Hez, we are thinking ahead a little as we have been unable to have a holiday since 1995 but would like to visit Ireland. We really want to see the giants causeway amongst other things. OH loves Guiness but is only allowed 1 pint since his liver op which is good as if he has 2 or 3 he snores terribly! Anyway that's in the future. Que sera sera as that song goes.
Hope we all have a lovely day. Hugs all round.

 

[Destamia]

Good morning everyone,
At last I could do my 5 st photos its so strange that at first you notice every kg and after a some time you need to work hard to see 5 kg change on photos. Anyway - guess who step on scale today and saw same weight as yesterday at sw meeting ? hehehhe
Here is my 5st weight loss changes on pic =)


little step by the time and I will get there. All my weight is in my lower body, have no idea when will my legs be doable , but Im so sure I will be there at some point =)

Have you girls heard about phone app called Waterbalance ? Well someone in my sw group had it and used it last week to get back on track and lost 5 lbs. I will give it to go - I always drank lots of water and was thinking it will be easy for me. Think again Moo ... I bet you all remember I told few days ago that I cant give up coffee - have few to many of em in a day - so last night when I started to add all my water intake and then added coffee too , you know what happened ? My water balance % went back to 1 % ... kurat -- Had to get one more bottle of water 2 l out and just drink it... it was not fun, lol but I manage to get back to 40% . So today - before I had my coffee I drank 2 classes of water first. maybe I need to take bucket with me when I go out today , lol

Food diary
day 2
breakfast - sweet dreams, sorry have no photos of that as I didnt take my phone with me to dream-land =)

Lunch
leftover risotto from yesterday, fresh salad and slow cooked turkey, parmesan. coffee and an pear.
I can not say enough- slow cooker is just amazing thing to have. Last night I put turkey legs in slow cooker with onions and carrots , seasoning and left it to cook . Wake up this morning , meat is so so soft, so so tender and I did not had to do anything for that. Plus its warm and ready to go ( in my belly )


I have lots of plans for today - first thing is to go and visit Sarehole Mill - Birmingham Museums & Art Gallery as its not far from where I live and we do love Shire and Lord of the Rings and as its first sunday of the month, its free enter's today =)
Then its time to shop, have you heard that Morrison had/have offer in sun newspaper , that gives you 5pound off from meat if you buy for 10 pounds or more ? For us its blessing and money is tight. Will hope to get few good things in my freezer to help survive the month =)

Hez - I can only imagine how hard it is at work for you. I often think could I do what you do and always get back to same result that I could not. you are unbelievable strong person. There is nothing worse then dealing with drunk people who have no idea how much they can upset others. I dont like drunk people, after having bf back when I was only 16-17 I can not stand drunk people around me. Lucky my hubby dont drink at all =)
For you dear I can only wish to be strong and keep focus. As for your weight loss I must be honest here - Im almost green of envy. I imagine the day when I can go after 17 st mark and you already half way there so happy for you. Strong women must run in family as your girl is doing so well too, and shes only 16 - to have this will power , not to eat when working with food. I even think maybe she have it harder then you do ? As she can have small meal and shakes - little like teas. Oh can not wait to hear how did you two did this week =) so excited for you

Solange - you may not believe it but before you all joined my diary ( for ever grateful, btw ) I was doing it more for myself , just to have something to read when it gets hard for me , as Im sure one moment staying on plan will get hard. But now , when you all are here I feel like I have all new family around me. Someone who I love dearly says - Im silly old fool - and when I saw you say something similar I just laugh and feel the love as only this one line makes me feel like home =) And for someone who have hard period in life you just keep glow of pure warm and goodness, I think everyone here can feel it. So hun , please keep coming and tell us how you are doing =) Also I want to hear how you doing with Paleo and what you cooking - it would be interesting to see how it works. So far you have done very well with weight loss , havent you ? Even curry did not dear to mess with you and your plans =) exciting times

BinkyBonk - I have been rude and not welcome you but here it comes now Welcome and hope you like it in here =) Im afraid I cant be trusted with chips or with any kind of food when Im reading, lol Its so hard to control what you eat when you look tv or reading something or in my case in internet. At least when Im on minimins page I know I read only good stuff lol . Can I ask, what diet you on and how are you doing ? I know In nosy

Lucie - how do you find sw so far hun ? for me it was little hard at first but I can see you lost so much already - I guess you feel over the moon. Plus to think you have your fashion blog - I wonder do you look forward to try new cloths ? I was in my sw class and the trousers I was wearing are too big for me , not good look - honest , but lol - em are the lightest ones I have- Just cant wait to go shopping and get myself new and nice things. I have looked around in your blog , you have so many nice things to wear - amazing , colorful - mine are mostly black. Wonderful colorful women you are- will be keeping an eye on you ( not an threat, but just friendly warning )

All are here only Blondcat is having time of here life in her new sexy outfit, making us all green from envy Wish you have great time and you enjoy yourself 150%. While you having a party Im keeping my imagine working and imagine dress like you had ( oh- and like my hubby would say " it fits too" )

Have a great day everyone =) hugs

 

[solange]

May I say I am blown away! Have just shown my OH. It is truly truly mind boggling what can be achieved if you really want something. I am a bit lost for words for once in my life!! Wow, my lovely that is some achievement. Cannot wait for the end result. I am so happy for you, you gorgeous girl. Rock on!! :clap:

 

[solange]

p.s. The Paleo is going ok. Nearly had a carb attack but went on here and you wonderful photos put an end to that! Whay a wonderful day.

 

[Fatbeautyx]

WOW, Absolutely amazing pictures. You should be so so proud of yourself lovely. <3 I replied to you over on my thead too lol

I'm not really finding the diet hard If I'm honest. Whats hard is fitting the diet into my hectic life and I'm having to stop doing things to make time for food preperation an meal planning etc So I think, A tad overwhelmed with this intermixed with my busy lifestyle but on its own as a whole, I'm seeing results, I feel good and it feels good to be eating better and being in control. Lets face it, it took me 26 YEARS to become the size I am right now, It's going to take some time to get down stone by stone so I'm buckled in for the ride. Slow and steady wins the race, The food I'm consuming now is 100% better then my diet 18 days ago so even if its 1lbs a week, I'd be overjoyed with that as each week that will be 1lbs less to lose in the long run

Hope you ladies are all having a lovely weekend xx

 

[hez]

Wow, your photos are fabulous!!! The difference is just omg, unbelievable. I wish i had done photos now .... I hate myself in photos!
Food looks good too. I'm a food junkie, i come to get my fix on a daily basis hehe
i had a mega busy day yesterday, never got chance to come on this.... And i missed it, and everyone on it
hope everyone had a great day! xx

 

[Fatbeautyx]

Well you're here now Helen so let the party start!! Woooo lol


I ahem.. Dest, I do believe a little edit is in order, (24 st start 4 st gone) lol 5! 5! 5!

Hope all of you reading this have a fabulous Monday and l see a lot less of you (you skinny *****es ) later xxx
