    Oh dear things dont sound too good for you today - I used to get really bad period pain (passed out and ended up in hospital with a doctor who said it really couldnt be that bad!! nearly kicked him to see if he understood pain!!) and I've been on a minera coil - its been great really light periods that you hardly know I've got them - or you could get some tablets from the doctor that will reduce the flow which also helps??
    2010 has got to be better than the last two years!! :rotfl:

    Weight loss to date: 3 Stone & 5lbs!! Weight loss this week: 2 lbs !!:j

    rainbowfairydust - I have gone the same way as Genuisscuffy and candlepower. Even had the old one removed and a new one put in last November...things have at last settled after a few months of "back to the bad-old-day :(!" Saying that, I had my first "show" yesterday for nearly 2 months...it can be a shock these days as I get used to not having any! It does explain the grumps I have had for the last couple of days as well as my attack of the munchies (even more than usual :o) :D

    WI today, and I have STS, so not as bad as it could have been I suppose.

    Have been making bread this morning (4 loaves rising nicely atm) Also listing the contents of my freezers, fridge and cupboards so I can draw up menu plans for the rest of the month and a shopping list for later today.

    I also plan on printing out a sheet to record any exercise I do...it is good to see what you have done, as well as what you should do!! It might shame me in actualy doing some!

    My toe is still weeping, but much less sore. Can't believe it is 3 weeks since I sqashed it!

    Right, off to finish my meal-plans, bake the bread, then off to do the shopping....

    Food for today:

    B: Porridge, made with soya milk, water and sultanas
    S: One slice of fat-free fruit loaf
    D: Baked potato with 1/2 tin baked beans; banana
    S: Fruit, satsuma or apple
    T: HM pizza for DS2 and DH, Steamed asparagus with poached egg and steamed ground elder (well, I might have a go at eating it..it's taking over the garden!!)
    S: SF jelly with fruit.

    Have a great weekend everyone.

    Hello ladies

    Very depressed at the moment as the last month has been awful. Last time I posted I got down to my lowest weight for a while. Then we went away to my sis-in-laws for 5 days who has nothing but junk food in the house (and remote village with no shops) and I put on a STONE. :eek: Wow, I didn't think it was possible to put on a stone in 5 days. :D

    Since then I have felt atrocious. No energy and very down. I also came on 3 weeks ago and it still hasn't stopped, going for tests next week to see what that is about but I'm sure it must have something to do with gaining so much weight so quickly. Really trying to eat sensibly now and get out walking as much as possible. Did 6 miles yesterday, will try to do similar today.

    Fed up!

    Welcome SavvyShe :T and hugs JoJoB, hope you feel more sparkly soon :o

    Yesterday was a planned rubbish day as somebody brought in homemade strawberry cheesecake which was delicious and then I went to a friends for a takeaway curry (half a portion of boiled rice and a veggie curry with 2 poppadoms so could have been alot worse!)

    Today I'm on a mission to clean and sort like a mad woman so hopefully that will burn of some calories!

    B: 2 wholemeal toast with HM marmalade

    L: Probably a salad or something simple like soup

    D: HM chicken pie with steamed asparagus, purple sprouting broccoli and carrots

    S: Maybe some bakeed rhubarb and ice cream :D

    Hi all!

    am back from a few days in Devon with Mum, wasn't too bad at all as Mum who is usually a terrible eater has started a diet and didn't lead me astray at all!:j so no cream teas or fish and chips for me just 1 ice cream - I did eat more bread than normal but we walked miles so I dont think I've done too badly at all.

    I had a veggie breakfast this morning before we set off for home and I've had 2 WW bread and cheese since then. Not a clue about later.
    Hope you're all having a great weekend x
    Do what you love :happyhear

    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    We,, healthy eating has rather gone out of the window for me this week, but, starting from today, I'm determined to get back to it again.

    So, today I've had:

    Breakfast - crust of bread with butter and honey, and a banana
    Lunch - rye bread with ham, salami and brie (OK, that's not very healthy :o), and two mini apples
    Dinner - tortelloni with pork, courgette and tomato sauce; fresh mango

    Hugs to everyone who's having a bad time at the moment, and :T to everyone who's lost weight.
    Back after a very long break!
