hehe thank youuuuuu .

I bought a dress from work a couple of months back. It was slightly too small to zip up but I loved it and had an amazing discount on it.... tried it on last night and it fits! woohoo! It now zips up (although a little tightly haha) so will feel/look better with a few more pounds off but as its a baggy style around the tummy it still looks good and wearable

How are we all getting on this week ladies? I havent had chance to try a new recipe yet grrrrrr! Think I will tomorrow night tho . Handed in my notice at my part time job last night, felt abit weird as I have been there 7 years so it was a comfort blanket almost. So only 4 weeks to go and then I will only have 1 employer hehe

Just a quick update on recipes - we have discovered a good way of getting our DS to eat cabbage :D:D

Chop up cabbage, leek, onion and dice up some bacon. Stir fry diced bacon in wok (no fat/oil added). When cooked add cabbage leek and onion. Once the liquid starts to come out into wok, add a stock cube for seasoning. Turned out quite tasty.

Just had a sweetie attack - so I nibbled on a few sugar puffs - I know - not ideal - but it could have been much worse, couldn't it :think:

Good luck for this weeks weigh in girls

folkart

Start weight - 184.8

Today - 181.2

3.6lbs. Not bad.

I'm happy enough with that.

Slightly concerned when my beloved complained he was 191 and currently aiming for 180....I had the nightmare scenario of us weighing the same. Given that he is 6' and I am 5'3" that would be badddddd. :eek:

My sons are back at school on Wednesday and I can really get on in earnest.

Best get my skates on :jas I'm aiming for the 170.

hat's for starters of course but it means my BMI will be below the 30 so just very overweight then ! :cool:



Take care people.

Well done giggles and folkart on your losses...woowoooooo

its great isnt it giggles when a lovely dress fits, you feel soooo good. I currently have one pair of trousers that fits, thank fully we had good weather so I can wear other things. I havent been weighed this week with being away. My scales says I`m the same but I wont know until monday, hopefully I can get some off by then. Must get back on track though.

blue eyed - cabbage idea sounds yummy....i love cabbage, well all veggies actually...

As regard trying something new. I tryed knitting lasy year and made one item but I seen a lovely teddy in a book. So i might have a go at that. ANd crochet.....

regards knitting....does anyone know what sl1 means, it says k1, sl1 on the pattern. So I knit one then what....??? Told you i was a beginner...lol

Good to have you back Susan - hope you have had a good time. Loads of time to undo any 'damage' by Monday

As regards your knitting - I do believe Pep is our resident knitter so hopefully she will be able to sort things out for you. I have not managed to get away with knitting or crocheting - all ended in tragedy sadly I do however find cross stitching quite relaxing - in fact I have just ordered a new kit last night (a wee treat you understand). Hopefully it will keep my fingers occupied in the evenings instead of feeding my face. A lot of the cross stitch stuff can look like it has come out of your great-granny's parlour so I have to choose with care - I'm not that old - really, promise.:D

Anyway take care everyone and will catch up with you all later.

Resident knitter has arrived :rotfl: k1, sl1 means knit 1 stitch and then slip the next stitch from one needle to the other without knitting it. If you need anything else give me a dunt.

Things not going too good this end. OH's gran died suddenly on Friday morning so everythings a bit up in the air and diet consists of whatever he feels like eating. Hugs to all.
Pep :wave:

Susn: not going to lie... I have put that dress on a couple of times now and danced around my room haha going to treat myself to some new shoes to go with it . Found out there is a works do on 1st july (will be my first!) so going to save it for that a dress to impress .

Peppop: sorry to hear about your loss again, this isnt a time to worry about your diet for now. There is time for that later. *hugs*
