Beanie ---- :grouphug::grouphug: --- so sorry to hear that you're down at the moment.

Obviously can't say anything about the physical issues but the hopes and dreams .... I don't know how long ago those particular hopes and dreams were formed but even if every thing had gone as you expected I'd guess that the h+d would have changed. Real life is about adapting our goals as we go along. Don't regret the lost dreams, Beanie, enjoy your current dreams even if they are different and, at the moment, not as exciting as you'd have wanted. You are so insightful (not just from what you've written on the LW thread, I've lurked elsewhere too) and I know you have the mental strength to work within your boundaries.
Love XX

Sorry if that sounds stupid - it's meant to be a sort of written hug.

Did anyone copy the cranberry recipe I posted? Or remember where I posted it? I cant find it:eek:

Beanie can't add much except my hugs

Polka sorry can't help with the recipe.

And to add to my general lack of usefulness this morning I haven't weighed in today as I'm away from home. Fairly sure it'll be a gain but hopefully will have rectified it by next week. Had lots of fun eating out this week so next week is being sensible time - specially as I'm trying to cut back my spending too in order to save a decent house deposit. It's really weird that people at work (where I've been for five months) have noticed I've lost weight and one of the staff at my accomodation asked if I was wasting away before their eyes :eek:though I think it had to do with the fact I was wearing some items of my uniform which were fitted to me when I was two dress sizes and four inches bigger all over. Must get uniform that fits!

Hello everyone,
I was out all day yesterday at a motorbike federation meeting at the showground with my BF, who drags me along each year. The weather was kind to us, and we even managed a lie down on the grass in the sunshine mid-afternoon. We walked round and round and round, and then round again! By the time we got back in the car to come home my legs and hips were aching like crazy. I can't even hazard a guess at the miles we covered.

Food was whatever we could find there, bacon bap for lunch, with a shared small portion of chips. Mid afternoon we bought a date & walnut cake which we shared, saving some, but then after we'd set off again and maybe an hour later I had the most horrid sugar dip, felt wobbly and just yeuch! It shows I just don't eat sweet things that much these days. We stopped and had a cup of tea, and a bit of a sit down again, and I felt OK after that.

I didn't feel hungry at tea time when we got home, so I just had some toast later on, and admit I did snack on a veggie sausage roll I found in the fridge. Hope that the extensive walking countered any indulgences. I do feel I need to bootcamp things next week. Treats are sneaking back in, and it's here and there, not every day, but that's how I will slip, so I've got to get back into shape, and back into being regimented. My head isn't quite in the right place for it, as it was earlier in the year, but that's part of the battle isn't it?

I just need to keep reminding myself that I like feeling slimmer, and trying on jackets yesterday, in public, without feeling the fear of humiliation if the size I was trying (14) wouldn't fit me,because now it does, is a moment to hold on to.

Beanie - I think most of us have to alter, or even leave behind hopes and dreams once made. That is what life teaches us; that nothing is completely predictable. Planning our hopes and dreams is a positive thing, and something to continue to try to do, but perhaps our dreams become a little more realistic, or maybe we just like to have the dream, but know it won't be the end of the world if it doesn't come true? The lottery is ever elusive, as are my dreams of having a high paid career (any career! ha), a farmhouse with stable block, etc. There are other dreams that I have had come true, if I think about it, that I had as a child; I got married, I had my babies, I had my own house, I got to travel a bit, I kissed a boy (and I liked it!), I learnt to drive, I got the confidence to say no! Some of them were little things, but seemed huge at the time. Some of them came true, but didn't last, and then I faced losing my dream, but hey, it happens.

It never hurts to reassess our dreams, whilst hanging onto the lovely big romantic ones, but perhaps I read too much Cinderella and Sleeping Beauty?

Polka - ouch! I bang my head constantly, in part because I am so short, and it was only after what happened to Natasha Richardson this year, that made me realise that it can be serious sometimes. Good for you keeping it assessed.

Raph - have a lovely week in France with C.

Vix - you build a lovely picture in my mind of the Debenhams changing rooms - sweat and vomit, yum! Well done for rescuing the duckling. I used to bring home fledglings all the time as a kid, and they invariably died My friend and I always seemed to call them 'Lucky' despite their demise, and then bury them, with a full service of prayers & hymns, marking their 'grave' with 2 lolly sticks fashioned as a cross.

A quiet day at home today. Catching up on chores, mooching online, etc. Back later.

Hi everyone i am new to this

I have lost 2 stone 3 ibs since Christmas

I do 30 mins excerise everyday (or other sometimes) mainly on my wii fit.

I have cut back what i eat big time and i mainlyhave salad or a ham sandwich for lunch and salad or jacket for dinner.

I have dropped from a large size 16 to a small 12 on the top and large 12 on the bottom

Got 7 weeks till my hols and want to lose another stone, is this realistic? ive had a stumblin block last 3 weeks not lost any weight or gained any, mainly cause ive been too busy to excerise and eat particularly well, went away camping and had lots of friends dos etc at indians and chineses so been a hard couple of weeks.

I am back on track as of today though,having got up early for 30 mins excercise had my healthy breaky and will be having healthy options all day.

Is it realistic to lose another stone in 7 weeks.

Welcome Sunnysea you're off to a really good start-I'm sure you'll love all the info you'll find here...not to mention all the gos that goes around on the thread. I think I stay more for that than the weight I'm losing;)
