February is the new January - shifting debt and wibbly bums in 2010!

It's probably going to take some time to get used to the idea kavics but I'm sure once it sinks in and you're past the risky first few months you'll be happy! The human body is a wonderfully fickle thing; when you desperately want a baby you can't concieve because of all the stress your body is under but once you decide not to try anymore and your body relaxes you concieve! I've heard so many stories of this happening, the best one was a couple who'd been through a few failed cycles of IVF and only had enough money left for one more try. They decided to give up and blow the money on a holiday and came back pregnant!

It seems like you've got a healthy approach to eating though, you're right to keep control of your eating. My manager is pregnant and struggles with her weight anyway but she's really piling it on now and she's only about 4 months gone so it isn't all baby!

Talking of weight, I'm still 10st10. At least it isn't going up any more!

Kavics I glanced at your post yesterday and thought you just meant you felt bloated in the tummy area :rotfl: It's good news though? Have you spoken to OH about it? Might take some getting used to after thinking it wasn't meant to be. I agree you're right to be careful with food though, having kids is where a lot of women first put weight on and then struggle to lose it.

Well done on the weight loss Pilchard, sorry to hear about the chest infection, but I bet puppy is breathing a sigh of relief!

You'll get there Birdie don't fret!

Well done Pilchard! The weight loss is great, chest infection not so much, but hope you feel better soon

Birdie, that's definitely a start! Are you back on the wagon now?

How was your pizza, Tete? I think I dreamt of pizza last night...

I made some filling 1-point soup last night so hopefully that will keep me going for a few lunches. I did get really angry with my stupid blender though, as soup was leaking out between the base and the jug and OH had to restrain me from running into the street and chucking it into the wheelie bin. Grr!!

Was lovely thanks Despite OH best sabotage attempt I got away with only having a medium thin crust, then a small bowl of custard afterwards! Whereas he had a large cheese filled base, deluxe thing with everything on, and two jam roly-polies and custard! He makes me sick!

Well done on the not-having-a-big-paddy with the blender, I'm terribly bad-tempered when I cook too!

Soup for dinner today for me followed by a Light Choices ready meal for tea - totalling about 550 calories. I had breakfast today (cereal) and do actually feel less hungry than normal so might make a habit of it...

Hi! (In a Ross from Friends kinda way)..................still feeling depressed and missing the boyf (ex, now I suppose)............but have had my bowl of crunchy nut and nothing else....yet!!!! I didn't jump into the chocolate last night, to be fair I was shattered so went to bed early, didn't even have my Horlicks!

Was good this morning, weight watchers bagel and an apple for brekfast, then found my birthday mini eggs and ate about 40g of those! I'm not weighing in today, TOTM still going strong, and it'll only depress me that its a gain regardless of the reasons, so I'm leaving it until next wednesday most likely for TOTM to be done with, and birthday mini eggs/cake to be well behind me!

Ha, we all know that feeling! But well done for not succumbing :T This is one of the big changes I'm making too - not eating the same as OH as he burns calories at an alarming rate! It's not fair, but it will be worth it, I just need to form the habit.

I'm not usually that stroppy, it was just the stupid blender!

That sounds good. I tried the new Light Choices prawn linguine the other day - it was incredibly nice and only 4.5 points. I do like all the pies and bakes but I tend to want to put them in the oven so they get a crispy top which kind of defeats the point of a ready meal...

I'm kind of one-foot-on-one-foot-off the wagon at the minute! Good intentions but easily led! I've been feeling really off this week too but it hasn't turned into a real illness but I've been snacking on little things to make me feel better! I've forgotten to bring my lunch in today so I'm hoping the canteen has something sensible to eat!

Tete, I can't believe how much your OH eats! When you live with him are you sure you can afford to feed him?!

Poddle, well done on not throwing the blender away in a strop! OH is terrible for his rage, yesterday he told me that he'd had a disaster as he'd been cooking something in the oven, forgot about it so pulled it out just before it burned but the grill-pan came 'flying out of the oven and landed upside down on the carpet' and since he'd not bothered to clean it last time he used it there was a fair mess. Now I refuse to believe this happened on its own as a) I know what he's like and he would have had the baking tray on top of the grill pan in the oven (it's a dual oven/grill thing) so he'd have yanked it out with a great force to make it come flying out and b) to back this up there's a foot and a half of lino between the oven and the carpet so it must have been pulled out with some force to land where it did! He really needs to control his rage sometimes, he broke his xbox remote because he threw it across the room when he was doing badly on his game!

ETA: Hi Avo, you're allowed to be feeling down right now but you'll feel better soon! Well done for not hitting the chocolate in a bad way though!

Heehee, Inspector Birdie on the case!!

Yeah I'm really liking the Light Choices range from Tesco - I find the weightwatchers meals are only light in calories because they're not very big, but the Tesco ones fill me up

He's a funny one Birdie, like he'll eat cereal for his tea most nights but only has a big blow out when he's with me. He's a nightmare though, for example at the weekend we went to the pub for our tea and I said 'No side order of breaded mushrooms for me tonight' and he made me get them saying that he'd eat them, but of course once they were there in front of me I scoffed the lot!

Hope you're OK Avo, well done for not hitting the chocs as Birdie says.

I'm the other way Tete, I find the WW ones are a great size, but the Tesco ones I find too salty so I just leave them. But I do have an abnormal aversion to salt, if I can taste it almost at all I won't eat it!

Have a WW chicken and dumpling meal in the freezer for lunch, don't actually like the look of it (mum got it in the freezer shop) so might see if I can find some chicken or other lean protein and have it with some couscous and roasted peppers instead.
