    Well, wages should be in tomorrow.

    Lots going on at the mo but don't want to jeopordise anything so will report back when all done :rotfl:. Everything feels a bit transitional though which I find very unsettling as it's unspreadsheetable :eek::eek::eek:. In turn, this is making me tense so sorry Mr GG :kisses3:

    Right. Given myself a serious talking to :eek:.

    A few years ago I joined SW and lost 3 stone. I have put almost all of it back on :mad:. I came across a picture of myself 2 years ago when my arms looked like this:
    l
    and a new one where they look like this:
    ()

    and my face has gone from
    ()
    to
    ( )

    :o.
    That picture has done what the scales haven't - so both pictures printed and stuck on cupboard door :T. And to make it harder on myself, I'm going to start by NOT going to SW for support. Ha, that'll teach me :rotfl:. Take that, fat gally girl :D. 1 stone off by end of August.

    In other news, payday in 5 hours and am about to sort out ebay listings :T.

    FGG :D

    I tell myself that the extra lbs help keep me warm in winter. A bit like a snuggly duvet. MSE all the way here!

    I did the same gg, lost 3 1/2 stone in 2006, put 4 stone back on. I have photos of me with big trousers going look at my weight lost, yet those trousers wouldn't have fit at Christmas. So depressing. The pictures of my fat arms and face at Christmas just made me cringe and I thought I have to sort this out. I lifted 50lb bar the other day, it was so heavy I couldn't lift it fully yet i was walking round like this, no wonder I was tired. So onward and upward, you CAN DO IT.
