Wow, that's great Fay, well done. Have to say I'm very envious. Did you mean you are still eating rubbish it's just cutting out drinking that's changed? Whichever way you look at it that's a great incentive, thanks!

I am eating far worse now than I did previously although I don't do the midnight wine fuelled feasting anymore. And Jo will be pleased I am even sometimes wanting sweet stuff which I never did before

The only thing I have stopped doing is the 1+ bottle of wine a night

And although I have cut down earlier this month, the only weightloss I have seen has been through ccompletely (almost) cutting out wine.

Odd eh? I know its logical as wine is so loaded with calories - but I am developing a shape and a waist :eek: - I am more normally shaped a bit like spongebobsquarepants - small but square - its all going from my middle area?


Hugs to you!

PS its more of an incentive than some things for me - I am stingy and my clothes were starting to not fit at all even with the aid of elastic , safety pins and string

Well I am a bumpkin after all..........................

Morning all,

40sm~that made me laugh. I've done the "oh heck I'm moving!" "Oh no I'm not it's the car next to me" :rotfl:I've had the same pair of work shoes for 7 years because they are the only ones I can drive in apart from trainers

I am also really rather dippy and must have been at the back of the queue when they were handing out common sense and they ran out of time. I almost bought a Wii Fit yesterday at a bargain price not realising you need the Wii console first!

Fay~the weight loss is fab news. It's an incentive for me too. I'm the heaviest I've been since 2000. That was the year that DH and I went to Corfu and I ate soooo much Mousaka and drank pints of beer. I stood on the scales when I got home and really wished I hadn't

Thanks for all the messages of support. I truly had the worst day yesterday. But no point looking back and I feel much better today. I hope the kids are better behaved for me tonight.

40sm :rotfl::rotfl:to the car story, sort of thing I would do that...day 2 of the stopping for a while challenge and I hope as I am not recovering today from the previous nights excess that I can stick with it..am feeling positive at the moment and have made sure of a supply of choklit

you have all made me smile today, seems a nice upbeat day...

Fay well done on your 'changing shape' bet that is a nice incentive to stay af...

I am just hoping I don't put on any weight as I am definitely eating more sweet stuff when not drinking (probably not really more calories as I do get major munchies when on wine so I should still be in credit so to speak, but why does scoffing a double decker 'feel' so much more fattening than a bottle of wine

Started off a lovely day here, now gone suddenly dark and its raining again as usual bang on time for the school run :rolleyes:
