Good Morning,

Had a successful 2nd weigh in last week, dont know what I was worried about, got another 4lb off and my 1 stone award plus slimmer of the week. It was also our xmas party/ taster night and i made smash pizzas and a syn free fruit roulade and they went down a storm and everyone wanted the recipe. I am now down to going on my own because my other 2 friends aren't going back, so I very nearly chickened out too.
Would love another loss next week, expecially with it being so close to xmas so fingers crossed.

Well done you :T Don't stop going because your friends have, you'll make new friends in group and hopefully get all the support you need and (combined with what you get on here) you'll be at target in no time

Had an email from a downright gorgeous and recently single friend wishing me well today, he is coming to visit me soon :T He rckons its nice to be spoilt by my parents, i'm not so sure since i moved out 8 years ago and am feeling rather suffocated in having my wings temporarily clipped. Hope he will whisk me off out to a pub for a pint and realise just how much he wants to look after me now I'm all lame and pathetic, and realise that I am the woman of his dreams. Whaddya reckon, can this be attractive?!

Ouch SS, that sounds very painful, but don't worry, that 'hobble' can definitly be attractive to a certain type of man :rotfl:

Aren't Mothers wonderful?? I say that as a Mother, so watch your reply :cool: :rotfl:

and i still can't quote properly !!

Make sure that you don't interfere with the brackets if you quote and remove some post. That way it should come up properly.

Hope that makes sense, reading it back it doesn't, even to me

Good evening all

Well folks -it looks like they were right to give out severe weather warnings... I went to take the dustbin out and sank upto my knees in the snow :eek: Now Im not a tall bod -but I ain't THAT short either -and it shows no signs of stopping either!!! -we must have had 10" today -you can't even see the steps outside .
Hubby is on duty tonight so it will be nice if he makes it home without much hassel in the morning and then it looks like we will be staying in for the foreseeable -good job Im a food hoarder isn't it :rotfl:
Well I have had my "easy cheesy pasta" and it was scrummy -and I still have part of my A left and both Bs and most of my syns -so Im planning another cuppa and a fibre plus bar nomnomnom
Consultant31 -Mother are indeed wonderful... my mum is a bloomin belter :j -although Im sure we get on much better living apart -much less temptation to throw each other down the stairs that way :rotfl:
Right I will get off -keep warm n safe everyone and keep up the great work :T

Most defo lack of chocolate cake, but made up for it today with slice of choc cake

Saw DR this morning, mentioned collapse but she didn't think it was anything serious. Had a blood test so will see what results say. On the plus side she did waist/hip measurements and said I was a perfect pear shape & in the healthy range .

Apart from that the day was a bit crap, no breakfast/coffee so hard to function then while waiting at Dr, hubby texts to say he'd had car crash [just fender bender so hes ok] just what I needed to hear. My appointment with Dr was 9.30 she finally called me 9.45 with no apology and I was her 1st patient :mad: . Had staff tea party and the peanuts were put in front of me [ate the lot :eek:], had mince pie, choc cake oh and grapes :A. Been long day, just want my bed and forget sw today .

Sorry for the waffle am feeling down this week would have been my eldest sons Birthday this week [miss him so much] and my mums wedding annivesary [step dad no longer with us] so very sad memories.

Big hugs to you two x

Hello all, I'm a lucky one in that 99% of Christmas food leaves me cold, I could list it but I won't. I do like roast parsnips but they aren't often on offer at buffets etc :T and tomorrow's planned meal after work might have to be postponed as I've just been out to the wheelie bin and already it is frozen shut :eek: just hope I can get into work tomorrow but there's some doubt as it's a very steep and winding hill down to the main road here and if icy is dangerous in car or on foot (one side is an almost sheer drop!)

I lost a pound:) happy with that as not been exactly on track all week.

Had our SW party really nice, nice range of foods, wine and I won a years subscription to the magazine in the raffle:j

No consultant for 5-6 weeks now there will be a cover one but not sure I can go next 2 weeks as will opt for the easier option of the morning weigh in in the next town.

Pavements/roads like glass tonight - dreading the morning think just sheet ice is worse than snow to walk on:eek:

Skintslimmer

Aww, more hugs to TakeItEasy, and wishes for the bloods to come back not too serious Sounds like a very poo set of memories for you to cope with, you know we're here if you need to talk.

On a sadly similar note, I have just found out the friend's brother who a lot of us were sending an awful lot of reiki healing and prayers to, lost his fight with cancer Monday night, leaving behing 2 young kids, a loving girlfriend and doting sister and parents to somehow cope with a Christmas without him. I had the pleasure of meeting him just the once and he was such a huge personnality with everything to live for, and only in his 30s I believe. So sad, and a poignent reminder of how some of the troubles we seem to blow out of proportion are really insignificant in the grand scheme.

Thanks for messages of hope for romance New year's resolution (should this foolproof plan fall through ) is to seize opportunities and actually ask out some men - I can think of at least 3 (not including this gorgeous one) who I would like to ask out, so will pluck up the courage to be a go getter, and try not to care if I get turned down!

Anyhoo, day's eating turned out a bit like this:

b: potato, egg & tomato with ketchup (1)
l: chicken & mushroom pasta & sauce (2?) with salad bits chopped into it
satsuma
t: ah. well. am. yes. er... boiler fixed etc but in need of quick meal, so dad volunteers to do a chip shop run. however, we shared 1 large chips (26 syns) between 3 of us, so thats about what, 9 syns for 1/3, with beans, cheese (a) and 1/2 the plate a green leafy salad, so would have been okay if darling mother hadn't decided that sharing the remains of a large bag of minstrels was a good idea, and of course I dipped in too, reckon I had about 6, which at a guess was maybe 8 syns worth? (:mad:) had a fibre plus (b) with my coffee (a) and yes that was scrummy and fully catered for my chocolate cravings without the minstrels on top of it

Day ending in at least 20 syns, and me seriously worried that I am putting on, not losing weight. Consultant31 I am going to sneak in a quick moan about well intentioned but unhelpful mothers (and fathers) at this point Did I mention how much I really do not want to put weight on at the moment?! I can't afford to gain the weight I have heard people on crutches talking about. I have so many plans for when I get to target weight, real life plans, and since i have about 6 stone to go I really don't want to be going in the wrong direction! I have seen just how badly my best friend's health suffered when she turned to comfort eating when she was on crutches I am terrified that I am off on the same path of weight gain. The really annoying thing is, I'm blooming trying to lose weight - she just gave in and said stuff the diet I'll eat 10 cakes and 20 mars bars a day.

Sorry, I know this moan will irk some people who will just say yes but I didn't have to eat the minstrels. They are of course right and I take responsibility for what goes into my own mouth, its just so frustrating when I can't stand up and balance long enough to make my own food, or nip to the shops to buy whatever I fancy to make my own meals, and I feel like enough of a burden on my parents that it is unreasonable to demand any more than i am already doing that they cook & do the things I would usually do myself.

Poo.
