Thanks Mercy, have ordered from lily lolo, seems to have quite a following

Marrow, dont panic, thats fluid retention, you will lose that in a day or two.

:rotfl: Mercy, i posted as you sent that pm.

I ordered a lovely bronze eye shadow, and two of the pale minerals to see what suits me best, maybe i should have ordered a darker one too.
Will wait and see and order more, great prices for the testers, and p&p not a rip of either

Just to add to the mineral make up thing.

I only use make up at weekend (so far :rotfl:)
so haven't gone through much. Though you really don't need much with a good mineral anyway. Anyhoo, I've bought sample sizes 3 times in about 16 months and still have some left. I also have good samples from everyday minerals

And I do mix the types too. Probly have enough for another 6 months all told.

I will NEVER use a liquid / paste / ' pressed powder type' foundation again.

PS My cats are on the pets forum, under 'show us your pets' header.

I've been using bare escentuals for about a year now from here and also using oil to clean my skin with - I can't be faffed to do the proper OCM so use this from Origins - I only get 1 or 2 zits a month now instrad of the usual crop around my mouth and nose

Really annoyed as I did order some nice BE stuff from another website and I bookmaried the site but I lost bookmark when I transferred everything over to noew pc - blooming Vista!:mad:

I've just weighed myself and have put on all the weight I have lost -8lbs in just a week!!!! Is that some kind of record???? I wasn't even being that bad. Didn't eat ice cream, pasta, rice or bread. Had a jacket potato and some chocolate but really I could have pigged out much MUCH more. It can't be all due to the PCOS. Man, it was such a challenge to lose it now I am back to square one. How can it take only 7 days to undo 2 months work? Sigh. Feeling really annoyed with myself.

So back to eating salad, eggs and cheese from now on then. I'd better not win any holidays from the comping page or I'd come back as big as a house!

Well don't be annoyed with yourself because I think weight fluctuates so much from a day to day and hour to hour basis. As others have said, how do your clothes feel? I am amazed that if I weigh myself when I first get up and then last thing at night, I am 4lbs heavier at night!!

Also, it's not just about weight loss, it's also about healthy eating. I think I've been verging on diabetes due to my previous high carb and sugar intake but hopefully that's less of a problem now.

Now if someone can suggest a low carb booze I'll be sorted.

Son recommends Michelob Light which is low carb

Spirits are low carb.

But your body will use the alcohol for fuel before it uses the fat, so go easy or you wont lose.;)

Got 3 days to training to deliver :eek: and the organisers have ordered a buffet for each day, however I'm taking my low carb meal with me, the only problem will be having my second batch of coconut oil today as it's going to be a 8.00p.m. finish. I've got some in a little bottle and will try melting it first in a cup of hot water and then transferring it into a cup of tea/coffee!

Another rung down -I'm got an image of myself on a snakes and ladders board!

awww dont worry about it marrow, before a couple of years ago i put on almost a stone in a week i admit i probably did go ott when i ate the carbs lol but anyway once i went back to low carb the weight just came flying off.

morning everyone, again went ott on the nuts yesterday. Sundays are my worst days as im not very productive and normally just sit around watching tv which leads to overeating. I am going to plan out my sundays better from now on, set out a meal plan and gonna follow next sunday

Was my first day back in work today, and i was dreading it, i've been really down, and tbh, i think its down to this new dept, but, i just had a phone call off one of the women i was on the course with, i had lost her number and have been dying to speak to her, and, i feel so much better now i know that she feels exactly the same.

We had a good old whinge, and are at the same level in our training, and for every gripe about the dept i had, she echoed it and felt exactly the same.

I have renewed vigour.

Its nice to know its not just me.
And will make a point of saying so too!!

Thanks for all your support guys. My clothes still feel ok so I'm hoping this is a temporary blip and I will soon be shooting down the ladder of lard. (Didn't you go up the ladder and down the snake?)
I've been enjoying raspberries today....mmm. Salady type stuff for dinner. Back on the straight and narrow.

Oh, and I do the OCM cleansing thing (when I can be bothered) and use mineral make up too. Have come up in some lovely boils after my carb fest (plooks?) including a giant one on my chin that looks like I am impersonating Jimmy Hill.
