    So now this puts my exercise for tonight a day back! As I dont think it would be wise to exercise when ill or would it? :rolleyes: Would it help at all?
    I'm not so sure.

    Definitely leave the exercise on hold until you are sure you're on the mend (or preferably fully recovered). Your body needs to fight "whatever it is" - don't make the job any harder by channeling your precious energy elsewhere :) Get well soon :)

    Marion, I think the blessed state of being lilacked is a retrospective thing - you can only truely consider yourself lilacked if it works...
    sorry to hear you are struggling. But you know you've pulled yourself out of this situation before:grouphug:

    well having not planned tonights dinner I found myself craving..not sugar... not carbs.. but salmon & rocket salad:confused: . SoI trundled down to the co-op and voila, now have 2 pieces of slamon baking in the oven and a large rocket salad:D . Can't wait. Haven't had salmon for about a year and it wasn't cheap but it's healthy so let myself splash the cash. OH is very happy with sw HM chips, egg, ham and baked beans.


    So todays menu has been:
    bkfast: quorn burger, poached egg fried mushrooms & toms (in frylight)
    lunch: green lentils(HEB), feta (HEa)& a little mint jelly (1 syn)- yummy and filling & 2 russet apples:smileyhea
    snack 2 x quorn sausages (thought of you dmv:D ) with worcester sauce
    banana & sharon fruit
    dinner: 2 salmon fillets & lge rocket salad and drizzle HM dressing(2 syns)

    later snack HEB weetabix (plus 2 syns milk)

    Annie - well done for your first weeks loss - glad you are feeling better now; you are through the worst:T . Hope you feel up to exercise soon.
    Granny - another lb...:D

    kpc - does it work if just me and OH play hotcockle:D

    Goodluck with your first class beanie - I'm sure you are doing the right thing.
    I try to take one day at a time, but sometimes several days attack me at once

    Thanks to everyone who has congratulated me, I still feel a little strange coming here, as if I'm cheating by doing the CD. It is working so far and I hope to be able to continue to post losses.
    Thanks again

    Hope I'm not being really stupid or asking an obvious question...but what does lilacked mean??
    And Annie, well done on the loss! thats fab! what is this cd then??
    Thanks for the exercise advice missy, but i sillily (is that how u spell it!) did davina super fit and super abs...should have passed on the abs really! But I was feeling fine after my tea and I wouldn't have done it if I didn't feel up to it.
    Anyway feeling much better now, so no worries.
    Does anyone have any websites that you all go on regularly, with sort of diet plans or exercise plans on them? I'm really feeling as though I need some sort of plan to follow, I can't do it on my own anymore, it's too hard! I haven't got the knowledge! Each day differs from what I eat to what exercise I do, i need to find a balance.
    I guess its just getting to me and I need a bit of a routine to stick to. Any ideas?
    Good luck to all who have got weigh ins tomorrow

  • LOL andyL - not a daft question at all. To be lilacked is avery very special process with mystical powers.
    It originated when I was doing the chart a few months ago and with the flood of new members in Jan, I highlighted them on the chart in pink, so all newbies would know who all the other newbies were and highlighted all longer term members in lilac who'd been slipping a bit for quite a wee while and who wanted their totals to be returned to zero, to start over.
    This is where the mysterycome in: granny, who hadn't been able to focus for the previous 6 months just took off, and has lost every week since 'being lilacked' and now has a whopping total of 15.5lbsoff :T .
    I seem to have found my focus again, after reaching maintaining status and slowly slipping and adding a stone back on, and therefore have declared myself potentially lilacked but it is early days yet...one week's loss (I hope)does not a lilac make:D
    Seren's doing a pretty good job at it too.
    It's a club that need weeks and months of putting on/sts's before to beable to qualify.

    Not stupid at all, Linz .

    At the beginning of the year some of us decided to make a fresh start, having gone off the straight and narrow and put on instead of losing. BB was looking after the chart and decided to put a lilac highlight on the 'fresh starters'.

    Daft, but effective as far as I'm concerned!


    Oh BB explained it so much bettter.

    No - you explained it much more simply in far fewer words:rotfl:
