Hi everyone
Well, the internet's been done at the house so I havent been able to get on, just when I really needed to as well! Having major MiL issues and struggling not to eat the entire contents of the house as a result (sofas and all!):mad:
Am also now on a french keyboard which is sending me doo lally so will keep it short. Hope you're all doing well and I'll hope to email again when we get back from the Pyrenees- we're escaping for a couple of days to regain some sanity!!!
Will try and catch up on your posts now before the others get back.
Take care all xxxThe 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000

Phew, caught up with everyone! Welcome newbies - I leave you in very capable hands until I can get back to an English keyboard and help!
Forgot to say, the kickback from the kayaking has been v unpleasant and always makes me want to eat just to find some energy, but hoping it will pick up again tomorrow. As ever your posts have helped me regain some focus and positivity so THANKS A BUNCH!! Look forward to being able to chat properly soon xxxThe 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000

Phew! Just had a major clean of the bathroom and kitchen! That must have burnt a few Kcals off LOL
Basically someone is coming to view the property we are currently renting so it needs to look halfway decent! The one thing they will have to look around is the number of books/DVDs/CDs we have of which some will be already boxed up and in the spare room!:rotfl:
Ah well - final load of laundry about to go in - I think I can allow myself a couple of ciders tonight :beer:Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup

Sorry I didn't reply at the time but better late than never!![/quote]
Thanks for that Furrypig: it's made my day to think I helped someone.

[quote=ajaxgeezer;6039123].......no confusion BB, I just saw tiredycustard's situation as a little different to the norm because of:
- what seems like a severe lack of time, which sounds as if staying to class would be very tough (and I think you'd agree there's no point paying if not staying to class?)
- she's veggie and would only ever do greens, so to be honest, I reckon I got it covered.Been there, done that, ate the cruelty-free t-shirt.:D
You are spot on though, for anyone who will be alternating between days I think it's pretty essential to go and stay for a few months because it has to become second nature what constitutes a HeB on both days.[/quote]
Ajax, I'm going to say those 4 little words you love so much... Ajax, you're so right.
I'm sorry saversarn but I have absolutely no sympathy for you :whistle: you come here, join us and then tell us that you're off to TEXAS .. Oh dear! indeed :rotfl: It's a good job that Brighton belle and Katiepc are here to keep me company in my holidayless lifebut :think: hmm! Brighton is on the coast hmm!...
Mmmm rumbled. Fab place as it is to live, Brighton beach at this time of the year is my idea of hell. And a holiday is about a change of scene (well not that I'd count a trip to Croyden as a holiday either, just coz it was a change of scene...:rotfl: ) Perhaps we could do one of theose house swap holidays with each other Petrichor!!! (Unless you live in Croyden!:rotfl: )
Welcome Dragon :hello:
Brighton belle (who isn't going to the beach this weekend whatever the weather)

so how is a french keyboard different bails? Does it have a beret on and a string of onions?
Today was shaping up to be a great day - day off from work, chance to catch up with all my stuff, had a great night working on my business last night . . . .
so the freezer defrosted! well part defrosted, so i've had to take it the rest of hte way. And i've had yet another traumatic email from someone who won't just walk away from a situation so i sat down and had a little cry and then felt better because I hadn't eaten the ice cream that had defrosted. I'm having a green day so tonight i will try th recipe for rice and potato soup that i've been hoarding for an emergency carb overload.
tiredycustard, I am in awe! I can't cope with work and house, I admire anyone who can throw kids into the mix as well. The slow cooker idea is excellent and there is a thread somewhere on the board that has lots of slow cooker recipes on it - alternatively just use existing recipe books - i find that anything that is supposed to cook for 40 mins or more will usually translate to the slow cooker. I do SW too and you really get results when you stick to it. IF you don't have the time to attend classes, try buying a few magazines as they will help you enormously. I use their bodyoptimise online service which has syn search functions, recipes and online food diaries. Have you thought about getting a camping fridge or similar? Mine is a godsend, works off calor gas, mains or caravan battery. It ends up coming put every christmas as an additional fridge.0 -

I NEED to shift 140lbs :eek: piled on after a road accident and the subsequent steroids (followed by the Docs saying lose weight - here have some more tablets that are steroid based! :mad:) I have shirted 21lbs on my own but some support would be good :rotfl:. Hmm how much does a slimming club cost per week? as sticking that in my savings account for paying off my CC would be good! at the moment I stick a £ per lb in there to pay for some new clothes
Hello
Well done on losing 21lbs thats a brilliant start.
As someone has said a club would be around a fiver a week.
What diet are you thinking of starting?0 -
Hi everyone, I hope you don't mind if I join in?
I haven't posted on this thread before but I have been on holiday for two weeks and the 7lbs I gained there, added to the lbs that I gained during a stressful work period mean I have about a stone to lose. I hadn't really noticed my weight creeping up but when I was on holiday I was certainly not svelte in my bikini, even less so when I came home.
I have been registered before with Rosemary Conley online and with weightlossresources.com. I don't really like the thought of going to a class, after all, I know the theory so why should I pay £5 a week for someone to tell me to cut out chips?
I think I will be too late to join your challenge but I will pop in every now and then for a chat.

I lost the first 21 lbs by eating Averyedically (not sure if that is a word or not!
) - basically eating for my body type - which in my case means lots of veggie food (yum!), spices and chilli (double yum!) but cutting down on mushrooms, tomatoes, potatoes and wheat :mad:
At the moment though we seem to be living on sarnies (um about this wheat thing!), pasties (:cool::eek:) and cider!
Ok we are moving house and it is stressful - but I need to get back on track and soon! :whistle::think::shhh:Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons, for thou art crunchy and good with catsup
