    Tell your son, they used to say it's 90 % boredom, 10% overwork. They're wrong, it's 90% boredom and 90% overwork - the two are not mutually exclusive! Believe me, I know - 11 years worth of knowing!
    I did, he doesn't believe it. :( Never mind, he's young yet, he'll probably change his mind, he's not come out with me for a few days. :(:(

    I've lost another pound and a half :)

    One week today I'll be on that plane to sunny (fingers crossed) Florida six and a half pounds lighter than I was 10 weeks ago.

    Will be a different story 3 weeks today after a fortnight of American food.....

    I wrote this when I was first on the diet, thought id give you a giggle.


    I'm on this flaming diet
    getting thinnner by the day
    Im pleased I'm getting thinner but hear me when I say
    It isnt easy peasy and it isn't very nice
    I'd give the world for donuts, chips and a cold choc ice!
    Man said you wont be hungry
    he said you will not crave
    he said go on this diet
    your life I'll surely save

    So I went on this flaming diet
    I cut out all thats sweet
    mind you I see the difference
    Now I can see my feet
    A long time since I saw them
    those twinkly dancing toes
    and that got me to thinking and wondering where it goes??

    It comes off really easy like
    Comes off both sides at once
    wouldnt it be awful if it all came off your bonce?
    or just one leg or just one arm
    and leaves the rest for later
    and then it starts upon one boob -leaves it looking like a tater!
    Isnt nature wonderfull
    the fat goes on all over
    if it all went on one side
    the weight would pull you over

    they say "last on first off"
    but Im afraid I dont remeber
    putting it on all over my thighs
    oh yes ---last december

    My wrists have lost a lot you know
    my ankles are quite neat
    I suppose it shouldnt bother me
    theres not much off my seat
    I'll just have to be patient
    and wait until the drop
    and in the meantime try my best not to let it flop
    my friends tell me to exercise
    a peice of good advice
    then doc says wait till youve lost some more
    well, I didnt need telling twice
    Maybe when I've lost some more
    I'll try to make it past the door
    and go a-roaming down the lane
    cant go now its all this rain.


    Ive been thinking belly dancing
    But then its all the hassles
    I just cant see me wearing veils and rings and tassels
    And any dance I do right now is a belly dance you see
    I dance the light fantastic and my belly follows me
    I sit down and get my breath from getting on down and grooving
    the only thing that bothers me is my belly keeps on moving!
    I tried the treadmill and the weights but all I got was puffed
    and when I tried the 6 pack thing well I was really stuffed
    The abs are gone its no use trying to turn the tides of time
    the boobs have gone the chin has sagged and the bums not worth a dime

    Oh well I'm on this diet
    for ever so it seems
    So farewll cakes and buiscuts and clarnico chocolate creams
    hello to lettuce leaves and cress
    hello to veg and tuna
    If it came off as fast as on -- I'd be thin a darn site sooner!!!

    Linda12 - Hope all went well and we'll see you again soon :)

    Jaffa - congratulations :) Last time I went to Florida was back in '93 for 3 weeks. We had a fantastic time - people don't look at you when you are overweight as it seems that a lot of people are over there. Also there doesn't seem to be ride restrictions for people who are larger than the average carrot ;) Hope you have fun & anything which goes on when you are away should come off again when you come back - so just kick back and enjoy!

    Cathy - you write a good poem girl! Fantastic, I'm going to print it out & put it on the wall next to the computer so I can read it & chuckle every so often.

    Well lads & lassies, now is the time for the weigh in again - It's Saturday and after a really hectic week at work I am overjoyed to report a loss of 4 pounds this week :) That means my total since the thread started is 2st 12 lbs. Only 2 more pounds to go until I'm at 3 st!!! I set myself a hopeful target of 4 stone by Christmas and at this rate I'll make it & a lot of it is down to this thread and the people who post on it - just wanted to say a big thanks. This thread is like my weekly weigh in at a slimiing club & I get to save away my 'club money' in a clothes fund for when I'm happier with my shape/weight!

    Will be walking on air all week from that loss - let's just hope that burns as many calories as when my feet are on the ground *grin*

    Good luck for this coming week & I'll be waiting for all the rest of you to report in :)
    Sad because you don't know what to do? :sad: Comping question? Take a look in the Comping Guide to find out :smiley:

    Oh Cathy, if only :'(

    I have had a terrible couple of days :'(:'( I just wanna sit and sulk. Haven't put anything on, lost 1/2lb though :)

    My back has gone to the sh*ts - I am having to wear my backbrace again - since last night. Don't know how I am going to get into work on monday :( Did try to rest it this morning, but one stupid move and BANG, it went again. Have been trying to do the housework for ages - My 7 year old said that she would be my back for the day, aaaww bless her :-*, she has been doing all the bending (the right way) for me. I think I am stressing out as I have so much to do, but can't physically do it, unless I can afford to stay in bed for a month ::) I have been moving around on my hands and knees, and little Boo thinks I am trying to play horse ::) not nice when she tries to jump on my back :(

    Well done to all the losers BTW ;D I have got just under 2 stone to lose (3 stones in my dreams ;D) so will try and shift 2lb this week ;)
    I can say whatever I like here ... 'cos no one can see me .. ner ner ner ner ner !!!....

    How do you know I ain't sitting here butt naked?!?!

    I thunk I've made you think for a minute!
