  • Mrs T - I'm a cuddly size 18/20.

    I probably would qualify for SW but it doesn't suit my metabolism. The only eating plan that works for me is the GI Diet, I lost 2 stone on it and then got pg with DD and put it all back on again!
    Proud to be dealing with my debts
    DD Katie born April 2007!
    3 years 9 months and proud of it
    dreams do come true (eventually!)

    I've trien xenical (alli) twice, and reuctil twice (appetite suppressants). Would try them again, but they cannot be prescribed now because of my history of depression. I'm pretty sure I fit the crieria, don't know if my age will be a problem.

    Why your age? You're only a young pup aren't you? :confused: (Well, isn't anyone next to me!)
    My Auntie had a gastric balloon about 18 months ago, and she's 55.

    I'm actually a lower weight than I was before DD2, but as others have said - a totally different shape!
    Legs/hips/bum are all smaller........but if I look in the mirror I only see the big wobbly tummy!
    DD1 said the other day that I look like I still have a baby in my tummy! :mad:

    And TOYS - our most popular has been a set of stacking cups for a couple of quid from Poundstretcher. And she's only been interested in them for a couple of weeks (she's 7 months now!).
    She likes to knock them over when i've stacked them........then bashing a couple together is amusing.

    Other than that, other peoples shoes, an empty water bottle and a pack of babywipes are favorites!

    I can't think of any toy that an 11 week old can have outgrown? :confused:

    I'm not even going to look at that web page... I have a fair idea what my bmi is and it's waaaaay higher than any posted here tonight...

    Just sorting baby out then need to iron a shirt for hubby and a blouse for aimee...
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    Oh right - puters... work ones aside I have an HP Pavillion laptop - can't find a picture off it but it's a fairly high spec one... I'm a geek! I can't help it!
    DH has an Acer - HUGE laptop... mahoooooosive screen on it... can't be bothered to get up and check the model :)
    And in the loft we have a tonne of computer parts and part built/cannibalised towers... I have always built my own and not bought shop ready towers (well I WAS a hardware engineer... I'd be a pants one if I didn't build my own really :) ) However have now gone laptop all the way - just easier.
    Occassionally check everything from my HTC Magic but it's slower to type on a touch screen than a keyboard :D

    sorry tell a lie my bmi is 22.84 which im 5ft 8inches is ideal ... apperantly x
    I was just about to point out that 20-25 is supposed to be the ideal range. (ALthough apparently it doesn't work for super muscly athletes so they come out obese when they're not.)
    i love you ..... nobodys ever called me skinny before x
    I was glad when people stopped calling me skinny because it was an insult.

    when NATO paid our rent (10+ years ago!) we had a monthly rent allowance of £2000... the house we rented was listed at £3k but they let us have it for £2k a month as we signed a 3 year lease... No way we could afford it normally though! Our mortgage used to be about £1200... houses are pricey round here :( This is why despite being on good incomes you have to be to live round here (which we have to because it's where the jobs we do are...catch22...)
