Anon~Would love the recipie for leftover risotto in the microwave

Lol!

I shall probs post it tomorrow when I remove myself from the sofa long enough to get to the laptop! It is easier to do it from there.

Just to say hi again and thanks Becks for the info about weighing on the Wii.

Hope those that are feeling down are a bit perkier today
well done on all your losses too, I am trying really hard for a loss this week but struggling, normally quite a cheerful sort but having one of those paranoid no-body likes me days! Left my old job 3 months ago and although I have tried to stay in touch with them all by popping in with cakes, sending birthday cards etc have found out that I have not been invited to the Christmas doo
Feeling really sad as the girl who has arranged it I considered a good friend, she has stayed at my house etc and I have been there for her when she has been down. I suppose I have to move on from them but was there for over 10 yrs and didn't think I would be forgotton so quickly.
Anyway I will stop feeling sorry for myself now and apologies for my winge! I suppose I feel you are all so nice on here it is easier to say to you than to talk to anyone else and I am so upset am worried I will cry if I mention it to my family!
I am going to have a nice bath now and a cuppa, always lightens the mood!

Oh that sounds really bad. I can imagine you would feel bad. I mean, after 10 years, you're part of the family so to speak. Can you mention it to the girl who arranged it at all?

Hope you feel better after your bath and cuppa though!

Re the certificates - I had the same issue & rised it with my consultant - she explained that they have to buy them (75p each?) but is campaigning for the consultants to recieve them as part of the free pack - she has now bought some but won't backdate them otherwise it'd cost her a fortune. Bring it up with your consultant & she might sneak you a few (mine did before she bought some for the whole group ) though I'm still owed my 1.5 stone certificate - they're much more of a motivation than stickers!

Had a lovely stir-fry tonight & as a treat (after WI this morning!) I thought I'd buy a blue dragon sweet & sour sauce to add to it whereas normally I'd forgo it - but discovered it was only 3.5 syns for the entire pack - well worth 2 syns each (rounded up!) for a much tastier stir-fry than with just soy

We've just booked my dd's baptism ( ) so I have 3.5 weeks to concentrate my mind & lose at least 4 stone :rotfl:

Thanks Moouse I have thought of that, but I am my own worst enemy as I am too proud! I think it's harder as my new colleagues are all really nice but more reserved so I don't feel as though I fit in yet (I am too chatty and have slipped up by letting a swearword slip out now and again!) I suppose I am finding the transition hard and was really hoping to stay in touch with previous work friends, I don't think it helps that I don't do facebook and I think everyone else does and do a lot of their arranging of social events on there. Maybe I should just get a facebook account?
Thanks for the support, might even have a nice choccy with my cuppa!

Hi Skint Catt, I had the black bean blue dragon sauce tonight with chicken, noodles and veg, it was really good but I think 5 syns for the pack. Will try your recommendation next time and go for the sweet and sour.
I bet you will look fab at the baptism but if you don't feel your best just do what I always do, when the photos are taken make sure you have the baby or child sat on your knee (a great way for hiding a bit of a tum!) Mine are a bit big for this now and are getting embarrassed by it!

Lol, it's definately my tum I need to hide too!

You've just made me check syns online. Bizzarely I've discovered the 1 syns per 20 cals doesn't work for these! The sweet n sour is actually 5 syns on SW online even though it's 74 calories!?! Still worth it as I don't like soy or ginger very much & hubby would add those to anything given half the chance!

Yes my OH does that too! Everthing has to have extra chilli and garlic, discovered he was using garlic puree with loads of oil in it, Well he always said he prefers me when I am chunky so I think it's secret sabotage!

Cat I have 2.5 weeks to shed basically a small child worth of weight doh!
And I've just ordered my buffet and cake for her christening I predict a gain that week :@ didn't think it through did I duhhh
Also I had picked out a nice outfit that the trousers are now going to flap about with... May have to invest in a nice outfit (read cheap) that will do for a few nice functions

Shelley - that's horrible 10years is a long time to work somewhere
And to not be invited is harsh

Scarily I think I'm the smallest I've been for a long time already - dug out my smaller size jeans n embarrassingly there's wear patterns at the top of the legs, where ive basically squeezed myself into them before succumbing to a bigger size... Yes I shared too much I apologise
Going to buy smaller jeans tomorrow I think as an essential buy
