Ooh we all want to lose weight! Lets all support each other! I want to lose 3 stone by the time we have our holiday in May! I am starting on the 2nd as its a Sunday! Only problem is is that at the moment I am trying to eat everything before then so its not in the house! Lol!
I have just caught up on 6 pages! Jesus thought we would all stop rabbiting so much now that the big day is over but no such luck! Need to check back more often at this rate!
I have managed to buy wrapping paper in Wilkos and Morrisons and a Formula 1 gift set half price but thats it! Waiting for Boots 75% and Wilkos 75% goy a fair bit last year! Will need to get OH to watch DS when go to Boots cos its bedlam and no room for him in the buggy and he like to grab everything or anyone! Very embarassing when I take him shopping!

You're all gonna have to help me if I'm to carry on looking at this page regularly....getting a bit stuck with some of the abbreviations.
So far figured out -
OH = Other half
NSD = No spend day?
But stuck on...
DD = ?
DS = ?
DH = ?
and probably some others I've forgotten!

DD, DS & DH are daughter, son and husband - presume its dear husband and dear son

I'm going back to WW on Monday so I'm happy to give support to you all!

Hiya,
First of all well done on losing the weight in the first place.

Can relate to what you are saying as it was like that for me, lose the weight but can't keep it off. It sounds like all you need is a bit of regular exercise to raise your metabolism and give it a bit of a nudge, because your body is obviously responding well to any diet change/restriction that you introduce, Testament being you've done it 3 times! wow!

Btw, if you use weights you can lose a lot more weight! Cardio helps to increase your heart rate and burn a lot of calories at the time you are doing it. But by using weights, your muscles burn off a lot of energy when they are "healing" so effectively you are exercising for half an hour but your body is still burning off fat for the rest of the day.

good luck with it all whatever you choose!!! 2011 is the year for you! x

Ahhhh bless you. You're so right - it is my year. Last year was the house - paying of the mortgage, having a new kitchen fitted and decorating from top to bottom - This year is for me. I am so going to get this thing conquered. :T:T:T

We should set up a thrifty gifty diet thread - no paying out all the weekly fees then. :j

Hello all :j
Crikey, looks like half of you were up all night...............lol:rotfl:

OH off to hospital for his ultra sound scan then tomorrow goes to see the nurse at surgery for result, then he'll know whether he's got to keep on with injections. He rang surgery to ask for repeat prescription for his painkillers...........''oh no'' says receptionist....'' we don;t take precriptions over the phone'' ! Well,they have before...........anyway, OH says he'll sort it out when he's there tomorrow.
Not done much today.............my backs hurting like mad -I feel stiff as a plank and keep walking about -makes no difference.

Buttons not arrived yet.........wish they would. I want something to play with..............lol:rotfl:

Take care all:)

Oh........diet -(I don't need it, I'm like a stick insect.........lol) Try glass of lemon juice and warm water in the morning.........takes away yearning for sweet foods and does something to the fat I believe. I tried it many many years ago and lost two inches round the waist:T

Afternoon

I have sorted out most of my Craft stuff, was a right mess up there. Did a bit more towards Sister's quilt too. Found loads of packs of curling ribbons and bows that I have bought over the years so tipped them all out into one box, should keep me going for quite a while. OH said we will go out for the day tomorrow, still have some Xmas money left over so will keep my eyes open for some more bargains. Next birthday coming is another Grandson so could look for something for him.

My son bought me a couple of metres of lovely Laura Ashley fabric for Christmas, one metre each in two different patterns, the same colour, like a pale green. Not sure what to make out of it yet. The colour doesnt really go with any of our rooms so no good making cushions. Thought of may be making a top of some sort but not sure how to do it. Will have to get my thinking cap on.

All you talking of diets has made me hungry lol so off to finish up the last of the chocolate gateaux, Rufus xx
