No, I don't have an allotment - I have a small patch of kitchen garden where I grow a few bits and bobs (weeds, mainly).

I think you are thinking of In Search of Me. She has an allotment!

I I need to lose a good stone, preferably a stone and a half,

FROM WHERE??!!!!

hypno06

Just a little from everywhere would be good!! I have put on about a stone and a half in the last year or so, and can't really carry on at that rate.

also, my clothes don't fit, and it is cheaper to join rosemary conely and lose the weight than it is to buy new clothes!

Hi Hypno, hope you are well. Has the voucher arrived yet?x

hypno06

Hi ATB, I'm fine thank you! How about you? The voucher hasn't arrived yet.....we are obviously still catching up from Christmas! In fact we have had no post for a couple of days at all!!

Just caught up! Feeling a bit bashed as a social worker! All I would say is that is that yes, there are some rubbish social workers but the vast majority are passionate, committed indivduals who work day & night(literally!) in some very difficult circumstances to try & protect vulnerable children that so many others in society conveniently ignore..added to that the fact that there is a 40% shortage of childcare social workers, underfundng & a lack of resources makes working in that environment frustrating! Not forgotting that we are the worst paid professionals out there! Why do it then you ask...mainly because we care deeply about the people we come into contact with, regardless of their circumstances! Anyway, off my soap box...just needed to put the other side accoross!
Anyway..hypn great on the RC joining! I'm just past day 3! How are you getting on with the online system? Its certainly not as easy as WW online & I've emailed RC my feedback! We shall see! Great that work going OK...stay away from the canteen!! Hugs for you!

hi hypno glad to hear it's all going well. I've decided this year i won't join WW or SW i've been doing it for 3 years and lost ....... 6lb! Since went out on my own i'd lost 1 st 3 but i've put a little back on over christmas and have 2 weeks before due back at doctors to see hitler nurse so really must crack down on myself. I've got about 10 billion st to lose which my doctor says should take me 18 mths tops - who's he kidding??

ISOM - i'd love an allotment, i'm not sure how to find out about the ones here, may just go for a walk and see if there's anyone up there to chat up. But it's probably best to wait until after the wedding when we have more time.

If you pm me where you live LT (town!) I'll have a hunt for you! You should get ne now as you can get the black plastic down so weeig will be MUCH easier but it takes a while to kill the nasties. Getting the allotment was life changing for me! Go for it. You'll never look back! DOH forgot - I have your addy cos of the CJ...doh!

Hi ISOM and LemonTree! I have had a lifetime of yo yo dieting and really hate the concept of being on a diet now. However, I do need to focus on healthy eating, and stop eating crap and sugar stuff. I know what I "should" do but doing it longer term is more difficult!

Hopefully I can lose a stone before I go skiing at the end of March, that will make it much easier to ski!! Then, the other half stone before summer will be more than good enough for me!

The online site is not as good as WW, but I am thinking that because I am on MSE, I might nip over from time to time and find my way around!

Lunch is already prepared for tomorrow - lots of salad and veg! Off to investigate the dinner options for tomorrow evening.....

Hey sweetie, long time no chat, hows it going? you ok? must have a coffee soon!!! been thinking of you and hoping it's going well but every time i pop in here you're out!!! how dare you! ;-) Good to hear your ok and i second the opinion of panda paws!!! but i guess we all know how we feel comfortable in our own skin and so if you think you need to loose a bit you go for it girl!!!
