Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: smurfboy on March 04, 2007, 02:58:04 pm: Okay, I'm finally going to get my diet going properly - and I want you to all help me. I'm going to bite the bullet and post my weight here every week; the plan being that I'm less likely to slip up if everyone will know if I do badly. Basically it's Weight Watchers without the 11 quid every week

Current weight: 13st 10lbs

Target weight: 12st 10lbs

If anyone else wants to join me in public humiliation, please feel free to post here!

Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: oldspice on March 04, 2007, 04:16:42 pm: I was terrified of Pinky and Perky when I was small. If I saw a picture of them I had hysterics and if they came on the radio I really flipped. Luckily we didn't have a TV back then!

Post by: kevvosa on March 04, 2007, 05:53:05 pm: I need to lose a bit too but it's too stressful at the moment as I'm in the process of moving house.

My advice smurfy is to bulk buy healthy foods and don't go down the chocolate/sweet aisles at the supermarket. If I ever buy chocolate or sweets I can never save it for later - it's usually gone by the end of the day.

Post by: kevvosa on March 04, 2007, 09:51:20 pm: I've tried to ban chocolate recently but find it impossible. I get cravings every day.
Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: smurfboy on March 04, 2007, 09:57:41 pm: It's not a good idea to go completely 'cold turkey' in my opinion - you're more likely to snap and have a binge.

I'm stocking up on Options/Highlights - although it's not the same as proper chocolate, it does help stop the craving for a bit.

Post by: Jamsi on March 04, 2007, 10:00:47 pm: Good luck with your diet smurfy! I have a cheesecake addiction at the moment and have gone right off chocolate.. if I can get rid of the cheescake addiction I might be able to join you

Options is one of the few things that has been a lifesaver when I'm on a diet - gives a good chocolate hit.

Post by: StarSparkle on March 04, 2007, 11:19:27 pm: im fine if chocolate is not in the house, as soon as anyone brings some home, thats it ban often goes out the window
I like the cadburys highlight drinks, they're very nice. The dark chocolate and the latte one are my favs.
Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: kevvosa on March 04, 2007, 11:29:34 pm: I never liked the Cadbury ones myself. Always preferred Options, especially the turkish delight flavour.

Are you serious? I would have thought even for 5 ft 1in, that is underweight.
Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: StarSparkle on March 05, 2007, 09:31:30 am: yea, i think it just sounds less than it is or looks. I am 6st7 but being 5ft1 you probably couldnt tell to look at me.

Post by: bethypoos on March 05, 2007, 09:13:58 pm: I'm sorry, but i'm worried about starsparkle. You want to lose weight? Umm, ok you're only 5'1" but weighing what you say means you've got a BMI of about 17.2 which is getting pretty dangerous.
Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: Forth Bridges on March 05, 2007, 09:15:37 pm: SMufy do you have an Email address I can send you this fact sheet I made up that can give you a SIxpack FAST!

Title: Help me get thin!

Current weight approx 10 stone 7 - 8 height approx 5.5

I couldn't do that. I know they say 'eat after eight, put on weight', but I just can't last out that long. I think it's what you eat rather than when you eat it that counts.

Post by: kevvosa on March 06, 2007, 10:46:57 pm: I knew someone who went to the gym then ate burgers and chips afterwards

Post by: goldencup on March 07, 2007, 08:56:02 am: I read somewhere recently that the "No eating after 7 pm or whatever" rule is rubbish. But then whatever you read, you'll see the opposite somewhere else.

Size 0 (UK size 4) is a ridiculous size to be. My sister is an 8-10 and looks thin to me.

a quick sprint round the block and some laxatives.

Post by: oldspice on March 08, 2007, 07:21:44 pm: I saw the size 0 programme. It's utter madness. You look one way and half the women are 25 stone, you look the other and they're size 6 - isn't anyone normal anymore?

Title: Help me get thin!
Post by: smurfboy on March 16, 2007, 06:30:13 pm: I always weigh myself on a Saturday morning. Weighing yourself more than once a week gives a false impression as your weight invariably fluctuates.

Post by: Scarlet Passion on March 16, 2007, 08:22:28 pm: I think I'm normal as far as weight is concerned.
I am just about 5 feet 7 inches and I weigh just over 9 stone.

Feels about right anyway.

Congrats to everyone who is trying to get their weight down and be healthier. I hope you all have a great week.
