    Oh Victory, what a lovely post! I have only been around for half of your year but I can see how wonderful the thread is, for all of us. Don't play down your role in all this too - only you could actually have lost the weight and stuck to the plan, and all your advice and inspiration on here has helped all of us as well, so thankyou! xx

    Morning All, Trust we had a good weekend :)

    Firstly thanks for the Wow's and lovely messages following my pics, I was overwhelmed :) I liked the look in the new after pic, I guess I pesonally noticed it more this time :)

    Secondly, have had a little bit of a cough and cold the past few days, whenever I get a cold I get the coughing too. So end up sucking lockets and toffee to ease the cough. No I do not get man flu!! :p

    Thirdly, yes a busy weekend, played rugby, and was watched by my younger brother, who used to play rugby, but he played a different postion (wing, scrum half) anyways he was very impressed :) and we won 29-19, and I actually scored again :j thats 4 tries in 5 games, which is unheard of for me. This one was for the rugby !!!!!!s on the thread. Came off the back of a ruck, about 10 yards out, got a pop ball from the flanker who was acting as scrum half, fully expected to be tackled and needed to present quick ball. Wasn't tackled until near the line, so drove for the line and got the ball down, just on the line :)

    Right at the end of the game I managed to dislocate my little finger, whch then popped back in pretty quick, so the little finger is pretty swollen right now. And my thighs are so tight, need a massage to ease them as the bath dont help :)

    Yesterday was a 220 mile round trip to the outlaws, MrsSuggs parents ;) had a full on lamb roast dinner, with cherry pie and custard for afters, Its 'rude' to say no, so a bit of a day one for me today. Day went pretty well, but regular readers will know how I dealt with Her mum the first time we met and she wont say things to windup her daughter in front of me ;) As I put it, I'll protect her from the hooded claw :rotfl:

    Hope all going well with the secret santa, I posted mine on Saturday, hope you have the batteries ready ;)

    With regards to Dellybellys male group pic, I have a Austrailian Naked Rugby League Calendar as a Powerpoint Slideshow if anyone would like it?? MrsSugss was sent it by email, just hand covering the important bit. So if anyone would like a copy please pm me. It is approx 1.4mb in size.

    Vixaronni, told the missues about your Harold Bishop to Geogre Clooney comparasion, lets just say she laughed alot :) She was asked the other week had she got a new b/f as I looked younger :)

    Victory, firstly your help on this thread is as important to me as perhaps mine was to you. But you also took the step to join us and get involved for well done you and if I dont see you Have a great Christmas :)

    Petichor, I have some funny gifs, do you upload with tinypic??? I only seem to get a still pic not a animated one??

    Right I better get back to work for a little bit I guess

    Have a good day all.

  • morning all!

    well day with gran went okay, despite her arriving late becasue they'd got lost. This was my dads fault for ot bringing her. Oh ans she spent o=most fo the visit slagging off my brother and mum so that was fun. Then off to Mum's. Have eaten really badly this weekend so being a bit better today but it's quite difficult. parents have a big mirror in bathroom so i got brave and locked myself in and took a lokng hard look. And you know what?

    It isn't so bad. Yeah, I'm carrying a bit, and i need to get my act together but it's really not the end of the world if it takes me a bit. It would be better if i wasn't carrying the weight but I'm going to stop beating myself up because it's there - because, let's face it, i enjoyed putting it there!
    sqqquuuueaaaal at Delly's festive pic, rofling at Petrichor having to go for a lie down watching eurosports. Hi to funky, hope you enjoy participating as much you have enjoyed reading. And awww to Victory, I think you summed up very well how we all feel about this thread. I look forward to reading it every day.

    Hello everybody, good news from me :j

    I have lost a whopping 2.5lb this week! Anyone who's seen my progress since joining this thread will know I've only ever posted in fractions of a pound (or 1lb at the most) in a week, so this is really special for me.

    And yes, that means I've made my goal of 8.5 stone (actually 1lb under!) I feel so happy! Everyone who advised me to ease up and not push myself so hard, you were so right and I'm really seeing the difference since I turned that corner.

    I've decided to stick at this weight and not go for another half stone, but I am going to continue my diet for this week while I work out a plan for maintaining, and also to hopefully lose just a little more for a small temporary buffer ;)

    Can't thank you guys enough, this last half stone really had been a complete and utter £$%^&* but you helped me get there!

    :j

  • Hey all.

    Weighed myself this morning - 2lbs on. Not the end of the world, definately won't be making that first stone this side of xmas tho! And I already know I'm going out tonight, so, rather than panicking and hunting down the menu for what looks like the healthiest option, I'm thinking I'll just have something I want... Then back on angelic for the rest of the week, and the weekend, ready for Christmas melt-down! Will be weighing again next week, I know it'll be Christmas Eve, but I guess it's damage control - at least I'll know what I can blame on Christmas!

    Right, off for a major tidy up, then Christmas tree etc up... I was going to move furniture around and all that as well, but my Grandma's been keeping me busy emptying cupboards all morning - appears it was deadly important it was done *now*!!

    Hope no-one's working too hard ;)

    Right straight back to business!

    Grannynise - I think they were just starting the "prizes in every layer" on pass the parcel at the time I was stopping going to parties! I'm thinking very early 80's! It was the decade of decadance so that figures ;) Lol Petrichor, I remember the music stopping conveniently at certain people too! Call it character building!

    Funkyfunkymonkey - congrats on your weight loss, and welcome! When did you reach your target and how long have you been maintaining so far?

    Krayzechick well done on the ½lb loss! We all have our bloated days (TOTM by any chance?) :( hope it's better tomorrow.

    Ah Victory, what a lovely message! I can only echo those sentiments and say long may it continue!

    Suggs you must be a candidate for MVP at the moment! What a man - dislocating your finger and popping it straight back in! Have you tried any of the homedics range of massagers for your muscles? Elemis musclease oil is also a big favourite of mine.

    Bails & BB take care of yourselves and we know you're here in spirit even if you're not posting!

    KPC - families, eh :rolleyes: Good for you at not beating yourself up, life's too short for that sort of thing. Unless your health is in danger (and I know yours isn't) there's no reason to hit the panic button. :D

    Pixiedust, good to see another positive attitude! Have fun tonight, yep you can make up for any gain, next weigh in is a full 7 days away! :D

    Now, what shall I have for lunch...? :D
