Crikey taka, you've probably lost Kylie Minogue :rotfl:, well done :T.
Actually, it equates to an elephant's penis, 3 human heads and an ostrich egg.
I have lost an elephant's heart (which weighs less than it's penis, typical male :rotfl:).
Collectively we have lost a newborn calf, an automobile tyre and a dozen Krispy Kreme donuts

5 days into the first week of the new crazy diet project, 3 lbs lost, bringing me back to where I was mid January! Still, maybe next week I'll actually move forwards again. Didn't want to post until I was back there for fear of bringing down the collective total!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

Quiet in here. How is everyone doing?
Weigh in day today, I'm now 143.6lbs - total 6.4lbs lost - 3.4 of these in the last week, but since I've lost them before and put them back on its a cheat to count them!Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008

I could kick myself. Lost 2Ib through the week and was over the moon. Blew it all over the weekend though and put it all back on. So i am still 13st 2ib.
As we were so busy decorating over the weekend, we had wine and a chinese takeaway on Saturday night, so my only saving grace is that i didn't put on more.
I'll try again.
Back to doing the school run this week, so i should in theory be ok.
Does anyone else just feel run ragged with no time to do things to help themselves? Is it just me having 2 demanding boys?0 -

Know what you mean about the run ragged. We both have full time jobs, 2 hour commute each day, trying to set up a business which takes at least 15 hours a week, finish our house off to sell which is only getting about 10 hours a week atm as we don't have time, working hard with the MSing and the ebaying to clear the debt, and the whole place needs a good scrub - I've dropped pilates this week to try to give me another evening, and I've cut down to 6 hours sleep a night, but there are never enough hours in the day! I struggle to find enough time for a shower let alone to ever sit down and watch a film or even an episode - that feels like an undrempt of indulgence atm.Debt January 1st 2018 £96,999.81Met NIM 23/06/2008
