    Em you have been so good and busy baking and stuff. wow. think if my hubby saw me do that, he would faint. he already tells people that he cooks most of the time! hehe..i have to make more effort. even my mum told me off and said as a wife i should cook for him more. blah blah.. i used to enjoy cooking so much before but with critisicm from an ex all the time, made me promise myself that i wouldnt cook for a man much. :(

    i suppose i shouldnt use that excuse as hubby is very appreciative. i feel bad now.

    I do enjoy cooking, but for an audience! If I have people over I will go all out, but when it's just us I do simple stuff. When it's just me I barely cook!! I would live off cheese on toast n soup!

    Want to try spinning, but can't make any of the local classes. Let me know how you get on.

    It was completely brutal! :eek: I was totally exhausted by the end of the warm up. :o However I kept going, had to sit for a bit when other people were standing, but I made it to the end and feel good about it. I think I'll go again next week. :T

    WW weigh in was 11st 11! I lost 5lb this week (although I have to confess I hadn't eaten dinner, last week I ate before I went, so that might account for some of the loss), excessive exercise must be the way forward for me. Very pleased. :D Hope everyone else is happy with the scales tonight/tomorrow morning.

    Well done Giddytimes and Jo!

    I'm so tired this morning as my couple of drinks and a meal turned into staying out until 2am. I had the car so I was sober while everyone else was drunk which was quite funny to see people change as the evening went on.

    Kiim... Willpower is my downfall as well as I have none and I had been dieting on and off for a few years with willpower always taking me off the diet as the diet kept going nowhere. About a 4-5 weeks ago I had a lightbulb moment and I have lost 6lb since. Just try to think of how amazing you will look in the wedding dress or on the beach if you are going on the honeymoon to one if you do achieve your goals. For me my goal is the beach afterwards, I want to look great in a bikini so just keeping that in mind is helping me. (My wedding dress is corset style so already look thinner in that and it hides the extra lbs quite well so the beach is my goal.)

    Hmmm spinning class, what does it involve? I've always wondered but have never gone to find out as it seemed quite hard. Might be able to do it with EDS and it sounds like it burns a lot of calories.

    Well done everyone on their weight loss.

    I have put on 2 lb :( But completely expected to; I have been bad for the last 3 weeks really and have been lucky that the last 2 I stayed the same. I am ok in the day its when I get home. So this is it back to being good! Need to loose lots still.

    Rups, how was ice skating? did you enjoy it?
