Team UK: Week 8 and 9

So have had the worst couple of days, had to announce lay offs to my staff and it's been heart breaking. Has upset me so much and the longing to reach for family sized bars of Galaxy, always been the thing to do in times of stress in the past. Did really well though, yesterday went for a milky way and today had 2 meringue nests. Isn't stopping the cravings though..... :sad: :sad: :sad:

bump to join. another uk-er if thats ok.
was looking to see who was form the uk and surrounding areas. birmingham here. will read later when i get to work

Morning all! So went on a date with my husband last night and drank a whole bottle of champagne, 2 cocktails and 3 vodkas. I ate bread and olives, a prawn cocktail and fried squid caeser salad. I then came home, had drunken munchies and ate 2 bags of crisps! EEEEEK!

But it was good, so good!!! Might stay away from the scales on Monday!

im totaly failing with this weight loss, ive had a really bad past two days and now im actualy heavier than when i started :sad:
i just wish i could find something that works for me whilst im at home, i can lose weight when im in york for uni, but as soon as i get home nothing seems to work and i just put weight on - it really is disheartening :brokenheart:

Don't give up Katie, something will work, honestly! I've just had the weekend of doom and I'm seriously considering not going on the scales tomorrow as I've been so naughty!

Chin up honey xxx

Good morning.. I well and truley fell off the waggon on the weekend.. It was not good.. so im feeling a bit crummy due to miserable food...

Friday - dinner was a dominos pizza and copious amounts of vodka...
sat - somehow a mcdonals slipped in.. :grumble: Lol then more vodka due to a nigh out in town!
sunday - hit the icecreams and biscuits BIG time! :laugh:

wooow...

so today im back "on it!" and feeling positive.. and tiered! ha ha

Definitely one of those weekends :laugh:

I had a bad weekend too, just like everyone here!

Thursday (started a day early) I had an Indian takeaway to celebrate getting some really good praise at work, plus it was pay day the next day.
Friday I had cheese toasties and chips, followed by lots of vodka.
Saturday I only had a homemade chicken curry because I was quite hungover, followed by a wee bit of cider,
Sunday, I went out for lunch and had potato skins with garlic mayo, followed by a steak pie!! Then had some crisps and 2 potato scones.

Wasn't feeling well today so didn't even exercise....my weigh in tomorrow isn't looking promising!!

Hope this week is better for everyone. Welcome new people!

P.S I'm watching BB right now and that Kenneth is such a sleaze!! He's creeping me out.

Good morning all :happy: I managed an hour gym session last night but today I will do

15 min. cross trainer as warm - up
45 min. bike
30 min. core exercise (kettlebell, lunges, push ups etc.)
30 min. circuit training

Had a fantastic food day yesterday too, hope I can keep this up for the rest of the month :bigsmile:

ChristyJade, if you find it hard to log dinner that is homemade you could use this tool http://caloriecount.about.com/cc/recipe_analysis.php then just log it in here, bit of work but very handy when you want to log everything you eat (keep an eye on those cals) :bigsmile:

Welcome Magnet :drinker:

My weigh in is today but I already know I haven't lost anything due to the weekend. :grumble: Still, no point beating ourselves up about it :ohwell: 10 days left till August, I am sure we will work hard to reach that goal

P.S. Amy, I tend to stay clear of BB, I love my tv but with that on I would end up throwing random objects at it. :laugh:

Had to rush... Harry Potter and Pick n Mix was calling me!! :laugh:

i saw Harry Potter on wed! what did you think? i thought it was good - just a bit disjointed seeing as they cut a lot out - i gave into sweets to at the cinema

I thought it was really good... Kinda freaked me out when that girl was up in the air looking all demented!!
OMG I think i was the only person in the world that didnt know Dumbledore gets killed off! ha ha! What a shocker! :noway: Nearly cried.. but then realised i was watching Harry Potter and pulled myself together :laugh: :laugh: ! My friend said they missed out a lot from the book and added random things in!? wouldnt have a clue!! :ohwell:
Yeah.. i kinda went mad on the pick n mix... if only they had the cal content then i think i would stay away!! They are evil!! :devil:

i still have to see this film. i need an evening off work. i don;t feel sad enough to go in the morning and watch it on my own lol.

july challenge - im not going to make it - 7lbs in 11days??? i dont think so
so im going to amend it to 147lbs, so thats 3lbs in 11days

My Challenge by the second week of september is to get down to 135lbs... its a toughy! Just gonna stick with it.. work my butt off and eat well.. weekends are weekends and they happen.. im just gonna have to accept the fact that i will be drinking most weekends becuase it just seems to be the case everytime.
:huh:

Morning everyone:bigsmile:

weighed in earlier and im down 2lbs, which puts me 1lb away my target for the end of july :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :drinker:

&& im going to see the new harry potter on saturday night with few mates, so its good then? cos iv never read a single one of those books lol

thinking about starting this 30 day shred thanks to ben,cheeers:happy:
