You guys are very sweet but I do feel like a bit of a fraud because I am not at goal yet. I am still a size 14/16 (14 is my realistic goal as I am tall and big built) and I would still like to lose between 8.5 lbs and 17 lbs....and I still weigh a lot more now than many people have started their diets at! All of you look better in your before pictures than I did too...0

Morning All
hope and trust we all had a good weekend.
Had the children for the final time before Christmas, then I will have them boxing day through to New Years eve. Shame the Eldest picked up a heavy cold, she is in the middle of her GCSE mocks so not a happy chap anyway
Played rugby saturday, due the rain, chucking it down, the children stayed at home with MrsSuggs. I was soaked to the skin before kick-off!! Anyways, we were 6-0 at half time. Not wating to blow my own trumpet, but guess who, took a crash ball from a pentaly 5 yards out and drove over to score the first try?? Yep me!! Then 10 minutes later guess who was hanging of the back of ruck, called left, left, actually saw a gap and called other way, lucky the scrum half heard me and I scored the second try, under the posts!! I dont want to go on, but that was the first time in years that in rugby I saw the gap and changed the call. Props just dont do that. So yes smiles all aroundWould have had a hat trick but the pass was too low (it hit my knee!!)
Most of the Christmas shopping has been done, quite a bit on t'internet with some quidco chucked in. Trying to work out what to buy MrsSuggs as no hint forthcoming! I have done a couple of things, but stumped. Is it possible to buy a plain 'charm' for a necklace? that could be engraved? it would be to go behind the other 'charm' Are they called charms on the necklace? Im also having problems with the Secret Santa?? What do you buy someone without knowing that much about her??? Or sending the wrong message?? Fingers crossed I guess.
Anyways, while I remember the thread is getting a tad big again, so in the next couple of days I will start the new thread. Is there anything in particular you would like adding to the front page? No I wont be adding the picturesI have been sent via email a couple of animated christmas pictures, one alot ruder than the other, dare I post??? Or would someone like to double check them for me?? Pm your email if you like.
On the subject of pictures, may I say what a lovely bunch of people you all are. Thanks to Bails, Dellybelly, Efrieze, Grannynise, Petrichor (and her glass of vino!), BrightonBelle, TheDragon and Anic - Big Big well dones on your excellent progress and please do not, I repeat, put down your archivements!!! Efrieze, you paying attention??
Right Back to work for me.

This is my gorgeous boyfriend and me when i graduated 2 weeks ago: aged 21, but you cant see my body so well in the massive robe!0 -
WOOHOO!!!:beer: :j :beer: :j
Very happy to report a 4.5 pound loss this week. Last week I stuck to all the speed and superspeed free foods and kept a diary PLUS I had 2 scan brans every day.:D
Seems to have done the trick - I will try again this week!
I will be posting off my secret santa present tomorrow - teehee!!
I will try and find a picture of me that I havn't deleted!
All the best

v brave of everyone to post photos - well done. You all look happy and smiley and thats the important thing! I am so not brave enough to post pics on here, and there are very few anyway as I realy dislike having my photo taken. I haven't managed to find anyone on facebook yet but i suppose that means some of you will know what i look like eventually!
had a DREADFUL food day yesterday. OH put the puppydog eyes and begged for KFC. And you know what, I didn't actually enjoy it that much. I think I'm cured of that particular fetish. Off to fill in my food diary now to get myself back on the straight and narrow!
Started watching season 2 of heroes. squeal! For anyone who hasn't seen it i won't add any spoilers, but OH and I have been howling at the portrayal of the comedy irish. They practically say 'begorrah' at the end of every sentence and one of them veers into pure cockney at times. priceless

Afternoon all! Dragon I am so sorry to hear about your pain, I didn't know you'd been in an accident (obviously I knew something was wrong, just didn't know what!) It sounds just terrible but thank goodness you're still around the tell the tale. Really hope you make a full recovery in good time.
Lillys mum, welcome! Good luck with following the weight watchers plan. You're the same height as me
Anic, you look very like someone I know! But you'll be pleased to hear you are slimmer than that person!(And I know you've lost more since then too).
Hi Suggs - I'm afraid I don't know much about rugbybut GO YOU! Anything to report on this graph you were working on? I'll let the other ladies comment about the potential Christmas pressie as I know less about jewellery than I do about rugby! Hehe.
Vixarooni great to see the person behind the "magic fitter's hands"Your boyfriend is indeed very good looking and you make a lovely couple! How was your weekend, bet you're very busy at work at the moment?
Well, time for my weigh in so back in a minute... *bites nails*0 -
Hi everyone!
Vix, you look great! How much did you say you'd like to lose, as there doesn't seem to be much to you?! Thanks for posting, your boyfriend looks a gem too!
Suggs, go you on the rugby pitch this weekend! :T Your team must be loving you!
Efrieze, you are not a fraud at all - what you have achieved so far is fantastic, you can be very proud. I think you look fab right now but I understand it's a very personal thing so good luck with the remaining WL. I'll certainly be around as my own WL will be v slow. Keep smilimg Beanie, we will get there!
I'm pretty poorly so have had to write off everything, including an appoinment with a disability officer to get to the bottom of the back-to-work farce. Oh well, another day. Have a good one xxThe 1,000 Day Challenge:Feb 16, 2016500/30,000
