    3 times at the Gym Skinty:eek: ...........have you got your eye on someone in there or summat?:rotfl:

    Well done though, you have really made good progress, unlike me:rolleyes:
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    DS has been at his dad's though Bob so it's been easy to keep nice - he'll be back soon and trail mud around again!

    I have been feeling guilty because you are all doing so well on the dieting Lou so went fri, sat and sun and hated it each time. Usually I get a buzz but I've let it slide so far that I'm totally unfit now, there is a cute new instructor - way too young but nice to look at. Hopefully a couple of weeks and I'll be back to enjoying it but at least the calories are being burnt off in the meantime!
    Will make DS walk to my folks later instead of taking the car as it's really cold but dry for once.

  • I wouldn't worry about it..getting out and about and upping your excercies will do it..me i am on a permanent lapse with diet..i try and then good intentions go out the window. I don't mind the groups, but i resent paying to be weighed and also have heard much of the guff before. Can you tell it takes a lot to motivate me? Blokes seem to have it easy, cut out the beer and lose 10 stone in a week..gits!

    Well I'm not paying anyone to tell me I need to lose weight Bob!

    Staring at spreadsheets again and trying to magic up some money but it's not working... might try and find the thread about selling old jewellery and look some old stuff out.

    Still got ten things to chuck out tonight - boo!

    Well thanks to lack of broadband I've been doing well on the chucking things out front! it's rubbish not being able to check my internet banking though, not too sure when it's going to be fixed as TT are "aware they have a major problem in the Scotland area". don't they understand my whole life is on there! sad but true!
