    :eek: omg:eek: omg. I have just been sorting through my wardrobe (looking for holiday clothes that fit) and I have just bagged up and put in the loft 20 pairs of jeans and trousers that dont fit.

    HOW BAD IS THAT. IF THAT DOESNT MOTIVATE ME NOTHING WILL.

    Very clammy hot and sweaty day here and its making me feel a fat slob

    Never mind Jo,

    That just means that you won't have to buy any new jeans or trousers when the weight comes off, just go up to the trendy new 'loft shop' and pick what you want for free:p.

    How long is it till you go away? I hope that you are feeling better now, are you on yur 4 days off or did yu have to take sick leave from work?

    I had to take sick leave and now on days off. Its two weeks today until i go away. How much do you reckon I "could lose" in two weeks. If I really go for it ? How does 8lb sound ?

    :mad: about the neighbors, not very thoughtful on a Sunday morning. Good news about OH being home every weekend after Christmas but must watch out he doest keep treating you to meals out when he is at home. Better things you can stay in and do :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear about poorly but it was never going to be an easy road and lots of bumps to go yet but he has a loyal and understanding family to support him. sorry to hear about your brother too, how has it affected him.

    I too hope all goes well on the jobs interview and it is hard not to get tied up "when " i get the job I can do this and that. Its just sooo exciting that your thoughts run amok. How long have you been looking for a job ?

    Well I am out tonight at a Friends 18th birthday party, we are going for a meal and then drinks in town. first time i have been out this year. I hate going out. And its all to do with the"nothing fits and i just look fat and frumpy" thing. But who's fault is that. So I will be glad when its all over and i can get back in the house again.

  • Hi All,

    Its about time we had a catch up - back to my old style saying hi to everyone i can find since my last post .......

    icka - i am just reading about the wedding - can you sew? would it be possible for you to loosen the dress around the bust??? - As for the hair cut, i bet it looks amazing and you arent a fool at all - now me, i am a fool i went to get my hair cut (a bargain at £28 where most salons around here charge over the £50 for a cut) and as usual left with £10 worth of product that i dont even know how to use:eek: :eek: and its not even in a pretty bottle :mad: Hope things are better with the OH - have you tried sitting on him and explaining - my OH is blind to me "freaking out" as he calls it because i get narked and i do a bit of the exorcist twist so he ignores me - if i cry at him its worse - the best time to catch him is when im nice and calm becuase it makes him realise im being rational and he cant shut down on me - would this work for you???????

    want to be - hope your son had fun at the new school!!! I would just ignore the ignorant stupid people (had to edit that severely) just remember Marilyn Monroe was worshipped in her time and she was a good size 16 - also remember people comment on the things that they are least secure about - i bet they are as miserable as sin eating one branflake every hour to try to be more beatufil - truth is beauty is on the inside - and you my dear have it in abundance so ignore the silly bleepers and know we love you for you (even if you had twice as many cuddly bits :D )

    tesscha - what can i say apart from go girl!!!!!!!!!

    Crazy - hows it going???? every post i see from you has such support for everyone - its good to know there are such lovely people on the boards. Hope you are doing ok with your targets x

    Skintlynne - have you got your letter yet? (actually since its sunday thats unlikely lol) congrats on the interview - it should be a great experience and just think of how much fun it will be. The only advice i have is be 100% you - becuase if they dont give you the job then they are not good enough for you!!!!!!! Sending all the luck in the world!!!! Thanks for the good wishes - im still feeling a bit poorly but had the scans on Friday so a week or so and then i can get my results!!!

    piglet - WOW well done you!!!! have you got a top tip for us to help the motivation????

    misshoes - helloooooooooooo How are you? Well done on the loss, you are right - blue always tells us its the small steps that make a difference!!!!!

    bathgate - well done on the gym - i hate the gym but want to start swimming again - just need to find some more time in the day

    blue - i missed you :) hope you are feeling better now, i would say well done on the loss but i know its not the best way to do it so yay, but boo at the same time lol.

    As for me - im doing ok and not feeling too poorly, no loss and no gain so thats a good thing. Lunches are going really well - OH and i are loving the HM rolls and the frozen rolls for lunch make life so much easier.

    Nothing else to add for the mo - off to check the dreaded bank and then will be back.

  • Morning, I hope everyone had a lovely weekend, it's great to see you Puzzled, and welcome MissShoes! I'm so glad you're feeling better Jo! Good luck Lynne, I do that when I apply for jobs too, just get too carried away! lol!

    I lost my willpower completely over the weekend when I went home to visit family but it is back this bright monday morning and it is staying for good! It's the 1st of september so four and half months til my birthday and I am very determined to get to my target weight by then! My budget isn't going too well but it could have been worse, I've got to work out how much I have to last until the 15th now so I'll proably be back to cry when I do! lol!

    On a side note, I can't believe that New Orleans is going to be hit with another hurricane, those poor people!
