  • Lovely parents evening for DS1 yesterday. Good to hear he’s doing well at school even if he can be a right pain in the backside at home. In all fairness he has been better this week and has stopped making threats to harm himself :eek:.

    Lost half a pound at chub club. Bit disappointed but I’ve lost 17.5lbs in 6 weeks, so overall I’ve done ok. 8 more weeks til Florida and 26 weeks til my 40th, so still time to make more improvements! Worst part though is DH lost 3lbs (and has gone too far below target) despite eating sweet treats til he caused a world shortage :(.

    Florida pot now stands at £260 exactly :T.

    Hi Lucky,

    Quick catch-up..
    Last time I was happy with my weight was 2001 :(

    Last time I was happy with my weight was 1989! Yes, I've got the 'photo to prove it.. :o

    Well done to DS1 for progress at school.. [:T] Don't quite know what to say about him threatening to self-harm. Think I'd have dragged him out to help at a homeless shelter [if he's old enough]. Anything to get home the lesson that he's actually very fortunate in life!
    Kids, eh? <sigh>

    Glad DS is doing well at school. Boo to the self harming threat - there's too much information out there putting ideas in kids heads unfortunately.

    You're doing well with the weight loss, keep going you'll get there in the end :)

  • I love that idea Robin, thank you. I shall see about putting it info action! I think he needs a good dose of reality.

    Thanks Mummy. I’m chipping away. Could do with it going a bit faster, but at least it’s in the right direction.

    DH and DS2 came shopping with me to Mr T’s today. Big mistake! Way over budget :(. They also chose me some flowers for Mother’s Day (their own idea) and I quote “picked cheap ones coz you wouldn’t want us to spend much”. Don’t know if that’s a good thing or not!!
