Maybe we could work out the total e.g 25 members x 56lbs = 1400lbs then have a counted down total every Sunday (or whatever). No pressure on anyone to lose a certain amount each week but anything we lose chips away at the overall weight. Maybe we could equate 1400lbs to an animal or something, would be great to say as a team by Xmas we will have lost an elephant or something like that!
Just had a bit of a non scale victory, my plan for today got totally messed up when I had to go out unexpectedly before I 'd managed to eat breakfast. Problems with cars, mot's, family needing to be in different places at different times all lead to me not getting back till 2.30 having not eaten anything all day. Needless to say I was starving didn't fancy breakfast at 2.30 or doing the cooking I had planned, all I wanted was a white bread cheese and pickle sandwich if I'm honest (not been shopping yet so very little else in!). Made an omelette in the end with loads of veg so i'm feeling pretty smug right now. :8855:
That's a really good idea Sarah
Consider it done!!
Big well done on the NSV too :clap: WTG skinny
lol
Do we have to use your OWN whip AND the handcuffs on you my dear not to mention the pointy shoes
baahhahahah, CONGRATS on the loss!!!
If necessary, yes
It most deffo will NOT be necessary this week though
No alkihol in the house, just loads of good food
Watch this space............:8855:
Sorry I haven't been about - feeling awful and have had a totally pants week
Have decided to draw a line and start again after my binge fest - keep having to remind myself that I have lost 2 stone since Xmas which I am really, really pleased about but just seemed to lose the plot big time this last week or so. Starting again tomorrow - Corky, hope you don't mind resetting my figures.......weigh day Sunday and aiming to lose 4 stone by Xmas.
Good luck gang xxxxxxxxx
A fresh start is a fab idea Dex
You've done so well so far - 2 stone ditched is quite an achievement, and not one to forget
Everyone will experience patches of time where they struggle.......everyone. And if they say they don't or haven't struggled at some point in their journey, I honestly believe they are dirty rotten liars! lol
We're trying to correct a lifetime (for some of us......that'll be me then! lol) of bad eating habits and the way we use and view food. We're like little junkies trying to kick bad habits :giggle: It's not something that can be achieved in a few short months, so we need to buckle our seatbelts and ride this flipping roller coaster, highs and lows, right to the end.
We fall off, we get back on, we fall off, we get back on etc......................eventually our brains will catch up
That's my theory anyway! lol
We're here to give you a leg up - we're all in the same boat chuck, so we'll help each other
So..........stats reset
Fresh start made
Morning all - pleased to say I'm out of the naughty corner and really going for it........look out Team Tinsel - have even measured my milk out ready for the day!! Planning fresh salmon steak and salad for dinner and popping to tesco to stock up on veggies and fruit. Busy, busy weekend - my sis and her family are down and helping my dad move today but will try and get on later today to update.
Good luck Team Tinsel and thanks Purple Patsy for your encouragement xxxxx
You were never in the naughty corner Dex, you were just waiting at the wagon station for it to arrive
Welcome aboard
lol
Hope your Dads move goes smoothly with all hands on deck. Hey, I'm sure all that humping boxes and stuff will count as body magic
lol
Morning ladies, hope you are all well this lovely sunny morning
I went for a Chinese meal last night and went a little overboard lol. I was determined to stick to the old favourite of chicken in black bean (4 tbsp) with boiled rice which I initially did, but then came 2 tbsp of chicken curry, 8 chips, 1 battered chicken ball, 8 prawn crackers and a chunk of mushroom foo young. I haven't got a clue how to work out the syns for this.
I know it's not the end of the world and I know I haven't had a lot of syns this week, but why do I feel so bad about it this morning? I need to give my head a flippin good shake!
I don't think you went overboard at all! You had a night out, you enjoyed it, and imo you ate like a normal person would. You've had a fab week, you'll have another fab week this week and last night was just a few hours
Misplaced guilt, which we are all guilty of from time to time because we seem to expect perfection from ourselves, when in reality there's no such fing
D
You've got to live too Marie
Well done on not having 16 chips, 2 battered chicken balls and 16 prawn crackers! I think you did very well :clap:

Nat, you, hubby, family and friends are going through an upsetting and very sad time. Everything takes a back seat when something like this hits, so dont be worrying about not being on plan, and don't be feeling guilty about what you are eating. It's not remotely important right now. You'll get back to it when you feel you can. In the meantiime, take care of yourself and give your hubby lots of support and cuddles xx
p.s. I;m not right sure I like being called a 'lair' though :giggle:
and have a great big paaaaaartaaaayyyyy 
I forced myself to go on the exercise bike to try to rectify the potential damage and I was sooo tired too. I was going to have a day off, my legs are really tired and aching so that was probably yet another stupid thing to do today. Will be walking like I have seized up tomorrow. :'(
