Onwards & Downwards: July 2019

Last month's thread is here.

It is now officially summer. With BBQ's and salads, will it be easy to keep the weight off?

[Old_Geezer]

Yay, apparently lost that recent gain, plus a bit.

[xstitcher]

Great news OG!

[wendilla]

Going the right way OG.

Yesterday was my birthday and my family arrived with 3 cakes....ok they weren’t large cakes but.....we ate 2 and there was a whole carrot cake left. As it draws near the time for my elevenses the arguments for having a slice were far outweighing the arguments against. Then I started thinking how that slice would taste after I’d eaten it. If you don’t like bragging look away now......
I squashed it up in a plastic bag and binned the entire cake and oh I feel good for doing that!!!
My reward was to come on here and brag disgustingly .

[Old_Geezer]

We await the tale of fishing stuff out of the bin.

[xstitcher]

I hope not OG.

[xstitcher]

att OG: with great pride I can report that the rubbish was collected today and included one entire squashed carrot cake!

Well done, xstitcher. Great willpower.

I started my diet almost a week ago and feel better for it already. Less bloated for a start. I haven’t weighed myself yet. Will do it weekly. I’m not expecting any amazing loss so far, but glad I’ve got back onto it.

[xstitcher]

Good for You cloverjo. I hope the loosing part will bring you both pride and joy. Please keep us informed. Most of us weigh in and then meet here but it’s not written in stone.

[xstitcher]

I left out that most of us meet here on Wednesday.

[Old_Geezer]

:-D
Bin a success then.

As for me, fractionally up on a few days ago. Hope tomorrow back to level again.

Good result this week little over 1 lb I have kept off the biscuits
and crisps but not holding my breath as it could be due to the weather not eating in between meals as its too hot for cooked dinners too.
well done xstitcher I don't think I could have done that .
CLOVER well done you should see a difference in weight loss next Wednesday
OG that yo yo is working overtime again . Maybe it was that extra pint .

[xstitcher]

Good heavens, it’s Wednesday.....what happened to Monday and Tuesday? I’m down about a pound. I wish the heat affected my appetite. It just slows me down .

[rowanwitch]

Restarting after a dodgy spell when my mood wasn't brilliant. My bin also included cake in my case a sticky ginger one, and a batch of frozen cookies. I also dumped a tub of coffee ice cream bleuch!! After six days I can feel my head clearing. Luckily I had only put on a couple of pound and that's already gone.

[xstitcher]

Shock horror...up 4 pounds since yesterday....must be all that extra water....also will be careful about the fruit....but 4 pounds in 24 hours can be nothing but water.

[xstitcher]

Can it????

[Old_Geezer]

One would be hard pressed to change that much from eating. Has to be liquid.

[ummmm]

Yep...it'll be the fluids.

[xstitcher]

Good.......huge sigh of relief!

[xstitcher]

Good morning all, hmmm up again so not saying much today. :-((
