    Eric - I so admire you and your mental strength and your honesty, so many others would just give up but I love the way you keep getting up every day and facing down your challenges. More power to your elbow!! :T

    Welcome to yet more newbies!! :hello:

    Hezza - what OU course are you doing? Hope your essay got away OK?

    Thanks for asking! :D I'm doing a BA Hons in English Language Literature (year 2, only 4 more to go!) and my current course is on the Literature part, so lots of reading - poetry, Shakespeare etc plus Jane Austen, feminist writings, Ibsen plays etc etc. All very informative and (in the main) quite engaging. I submitted my last essay 3 days early so should get my mark any day now (the tutor is usually pretty prompt with marking assignments). 2 more assignments to go, then an exam in June. :eek: (been a few years since I last sat in an exam hall!). I've already registered for my next course on creative writing, which will start in October. I really wanted something to go stright onto after this one just to save a bit of time but all of my subject areas have either October or February start dates.

    So I heard today that I have my second interview all set up for Thursday and the agency asked for my references today, so all being well I start my new job next Monday!!

    jeez hezza!! I regret not trying harder in english, it was something i didnt have to try hard at to get one of the best grades i could achieve. At one point i was almost kicked out for mt attendence.

    Although as you can tell years of not having to write properly has affected my english :p

    Just finished 2nd pilates session of the week.........free-character-smileys-609.gif

    Having just not fully recovered from the session on Saturday (didn't realise quite how unfit I was:o) probably not my best decision and have another one booked for Thursday:eek:

    I don't expect to see results for the weigh -in tomorrow but by god there better be some in the very near future, would hate to think I am in this much pain for nothing!!!!!!!

    Please somebody post a reply telling me it will get easier............really please!!!!!

    3.2 lb loss this week which matches last week, seams to be a pattern forming here :rotfl:

    Its under what I need to maintain my goal for the end of the year .. but i seam to have found my metabolic level at the moment at around 1600-1700 cals a day, for the moment :p

    Well done Eric!:T Just a thought to make you feel better about your partner being away - when she comes back she will really notice the difference in your weight. When you are around someone all the time; you know that they are losing weight but you don't really get the impact of it because you see them everyday! So happy days for you!:j:j:j

    ps Good Morning:)
    When life hands you lemons, ask for tequilla and salt and give me a call!!!

    Good morning all!!:D As expected a gain for me this week but only +1LB, so not too bad considering the cr*p I've been eating for the last few days. The last of the birthday cake is gone so back on the wagon big time, currently eating porridge oats with a dash of honey for brekky! that will fill me up for most of the morning hopefully!
