    Totooooooooooooooooo :D My lovely friend!! I've missed you so much! I was wondering last Saturday what you thought of that drummer on BGT and was half way through texting you to ask but thought you might be on a weird shift or something (or that you'd already been asked a hundred times already!!)

    We're only here because Lou grabbed us all by the collar and frog marched us here for a 10 week challenge :D

    Hello gorgeous lady!

    You should have text me :) for the record I thought he was shocking lol, ok for his age I guess but his technique is awful. I wanted to yank the sticks out of his hands and show him how to play with a little bit of style... bloody wanabee basher. Anyhow :D

    What's your news? It's been ages and I'm so out of touch with everyone. I'm going to bath lils and put her to bed, when I return I expect a long and rambling pm telling me everything that's been going on in BBs world.

    I've just been having a nose at Sals diary... ooh I miss you all loads x

    Lovely to see you Toto, hope the new job is going well although I dont know how you manage to fit it all in:eek:

    My DS said exactly the same about the BGT drummer although I think in his case there was a slight bit of the green eyed monster:rotfl:

    Morning everyone.

    STS for me this week.

    Bye for now.

    Today I am going to eat lightly as I feel really bleugh.......a bit like you do at Christmas when you really shouldnt have had that extra bit of baileys cheesecake.

    A well done to all the losers/sts and if you have gained then we still have 8 more weeks for you to get your bums into gear:D

    I think I must have your target wrong MrsI as I have you down for a total loss of 5lbs? which means you only have to lose 2.5 in 8 weeks.

    Of course you will do it, just keep popping in here and we will do our best to keep you on track:A

    I have found the best fake tan ever:j and with my colouring it is the only option, believe me, casper the friendly ghost has a better tan than me after 2 weeks in the sun:rotfl:

    I also suffer from a sun allergy (PLE) which means I need total sunblock factor suncream on anyway:o

    Apparantly tanned skin makes you look thinner??

    Anyway, its the Loreal Sublime gel one (£7) but you only need a tiny bit on and it spreads like an oil and hasnt streaked anywhere, which for me is a miracle. OH even commented on how nice it looked:eek:

    Am Happy:)

    Off out for a 6 mile walkies with OH.

  • Thank goodness that week is over! I have had a week of temptation - 2 days of all-day meetings with lunch and scrummy snacks provided - and my will-power has really suffered! Also had supreme chocolate cravings that an extra spoonful of chocolate powder in my nightly hot choc drink hasn't come anywhere close to addressing :(. I was dreading getting on the scales today - but we're off to a barbeque tonight so tomorrow might be even worse :eek:
    I'm therefore pleasantly surprised to find a 1lb loss!!!!

    I do need to up the exercise quite a bit - 2 days my only movement was bed - to car - to work - (home late) - to bed. This week I only managed a body balance class, one cycle ride and one sedate walk of about an hour. How does exercise equate to lbs of weight loss?
