mazzers & alias - come on now, life isn't so bad but the weather is enough to put a dampner on everything:D How about a nice skip down the road, waving your umbrella and singing, I'm singing in the rain. Done it before when I'm down and gives everyone a good laugh.
We are not fat, just generously proportioned and lovely with it:)
Would you really want to be stick thin, as I like my curves, though I'd like there to be a few less of them!
I'd just look bloody stupid if I did...the sun's shining here. :rotfl:
Btw, I am fat.:D No two ways about it. :rotfl:
Don't want to be stick thin, just normal.
But thanks for trying to cheer us up.Herman - MP for all!0 -

Turned out nice n sunny here too, def makes one feel a bit brighter
You beat me to it, i was gonna quote you and say i am old fat and horrible.. and i dont like that new job0 -
Ach you're not horrible.
I like you. :rotfl:
Can you just go back to your old one or do you have to stick it out?
:kisses3:
No.. i can go back anytime but i wanted to like this one as i was a bit fed up of my other one, plus, it's more money, although, i have to take fuel and wear/tear no tax-credit into account so tbh my mind has been working overtime hence the
Sheila is right tho, life aint so bad, lot of peeps worse off, i should be grateful really.0 -

If the sun is shining you could have gone out and sang the sun has got his hat on:D Can you tell that I used to run a pre-school after I had to give up nursing?
I don't know how much you both have to lose but I am sure that you are not that bad and being down on yourselves is counter productive. Lecture over. Sorry if I sound bossy:eek:
mazzers - I would never stay in a job that I didn't like unless I really had to, financially. It is hard enough to get up and go to work each day. What are the people like?
I am enjoying cooking but haven't been on the dreaded bike yet! Being disciplined is so hard.0 -

Move in with me?

Hi everyone, especially you three chatterboxes that have kept the thread going today
I'm feeling down too. What a bunch!
Got wine on the way home. Guzzling it merrily. Don't care. OH made me a wonderful tea though: 2 lamb steaks with gorgeous swede mash and broccoli. Yummity yumm! There's a bit of 'smash' and broccoli left which I'll eat if I get the munchies later :A
Sheila, about the bike. I bet it's hard getting the effort up to do it. Do you have good music on whilst you're doing it? That's the only thing I can think of to help. I've made a rule that I will only do exercise I enjoy, unless I feel that it's so beneficial that I can keep it up, occasionally e.g. Callanetics: not my fave, but feel it's worth it, and only do once a week now. Music can help though!
So you reckon the IF's cured your heartburn Mazzers..? Interesting.
I don't want to be stick thin either. Just nice and 'womanly'0 -
Hi
If I am down my family, who live with me, tell me to grow up and snap out of it as it is affecting my grandchildren. As I don't want to affect kids you learn to hide it. Today is a good day but I get down sometimes as well:(
Perhaps we should be honest and tell how much we have to lose so that we can support each other more. I will be honest and say that, when I started last year I weighed nearly 20 stone but am now 14st 3lb. Taken me over 9 months so far but I lost 1 stone in the first 2 weeks which was amazing and that kept me going. Now it is hard as I have to work for it but I am 61 and, if I don't do it now I never will!
Having had major back problems and surgery from lifting heavy patients, no hoists in those days, I don't want to do that to others.
I had tried everything, weightwatchers, slimming world etc but they just didn't work so this has been a real eye opener for me.
I want to lose another 2 and a half stone, not that this will be my goal weight but GP has advised me that to get to ten stone would be unrealistic and I would look haggard.
I guess that we are all ages and live in different places but, if we support each other we can do it.
I know that you have helped me and, I may be old, but I really appreciate it:T
Love and hugs:wave::wave: to each one of you.0 -
lol I love how some people think that having/showing feelings and/or being sensitive means you need to grow up!
You sound lovely, and 61 isn't exactly knocking on Heaven's door now is it<hugs Sheila>
I could do with shifting a couple of stone, then I shouldn't be too bad. It's the saggy baby belly that worries me, though it does seem to be shrinking and tightening, so there's hope..
This helps me too0 -
Understand mazzers as I really want to break the 14 stone barrier but it is a long time coming.
hannoja - post baby belly may never be flat again but often seems to come down to exercise. You have a lot on your plate but keep at it.
Will try the music tomorrow when using the bike, as you suggest.
Nite all0
