    Lentil soup is quantity.
    Pickled onions is quality...

    I've decided that the pickled onions combines eating with exercise. There arent many left in the jar, and they're really hard to stab with the fork :rotfl:
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Come on then Lilmiss - I'll get on my exercise bike, if you get on yours. I'll do half an hour, around 11 miles ;)

    Brilliant - I might get rid of my bingo wings yet.:T

    I think I have eaten too many onions, it sort of hurts a bit :confused:, I'm not sure this is what they meant by no pain no gain.

    Uck - pickled onions !!!! Can;t stand them myself having been forced to eat a jar full one Boxing Day by sadistic cousin.

    Anyway have been to Pilates again tonight - having spent two hours teaching on poolside tonight it was great to go and relax and I'm really enjoying it and I'm starting to get a figure back as I've lost 8lbs as well in the last 3 weeks.

    Got Aquarobics on Thursday which I'm looking forward to as well!!!

    NO exercise bike here - so can;t join you!!!!

    walk for 2 hours = bacon butty -no weight gain yes/no?:D
  • hello:
    Thanks IA for the bump!!

    Is friday still your 'stats day?'
    Will measure self tomorrow and start this too.

    I have quite a lot of problems with emotional eating and my mum is obsessed with her weight (so psychologically I have a very bad attitude to it) but I think with support from you guys I might just get there.

    That's my main problem, I CANNOT talk about that stuff with my mates without them taking it to a 'oh I am not worthy I hate myself no one loves me because I'm fat' spiral, which I just can't be bothered with at all!

    I just want to loose weight to feel good about myself; but I have this problem of my 'inherited' attidudes to food to contend with. Food is very much a weapon in her eyes; and I'd love to stay away from her long enough to loose a few pounds and get my head straight but I can't handle upsetting her.
