You still breathing Keiss???

I skipped bits.. I admit it.. I am SO uncoordinated it is unreal..

Julie.. update on the 'urban workout'.. if you have 2 left legs.. 3 left arms and invisible obstacles attached to your body.. don't do it.. I REALLY struggled.. bear in mind I cannot do the birdy song dance.. get confused with the conga and the timewarp is just.. well.. impossible.. yet a great source of amusement for my friends! If you can dance.. you can do this.. if you can't dance.. well.. either learn or fall over.. I did the latter ROFL!!

Off for a shower now.. then to have a half hour fly and then dash off to pick tiddles up from nursery..

:eek: :eek: :eek:

Blimey - I'm saving a fortune!! I honestly had NO IDEA that slimming clubs cost so much!

My Gran reckons when she was a lass (and she's 95 now, so it's going back a fair way!), that if you were on a diet you eat all the same stuff, but eat each thing seperately. You don't stab a chip, whisk it through the baked beans and a bit if egg white for good measure. You eat a chip, then you eat a few beans..and so on. I tried it last night, and I actually stopped before the plate was clear, it takes longer to eat, and you do actually taste everything that you eat. After going for about twenty minutes, I just stopped - excellent. Try it! It works honestly! Only one food on your fork at a time. Doesn't work with broth mind:rotfl: .

Oh! Weigh in today, Lost another 2lb. Really chuffed, thank you to everybody who posts every day. I always have a good read through even though I don't post very often. So much of what's said is familiar to me - and it's good to know I'm not alone, thank you.

Hya Pigpen, yes I did it! 30.08 minutes on the exercise bike, I did the extra 8 seconds to get to the 10 km mark, I'm so chuffed! I was flagging at 20 minutes, so I reduced the resistance so I could keep going ...oh my knees! I stretched out, had a lie down and then had a shower...I now feel much better, no doubt I will seize up later. Thanks for making me do it Pigpen!

Now can I get an hour or college work done before lunch?

COR.. you're making me feel all virtuous!! lol.. isn't it nice coming from the shower all clean and energised though.

Lunch here is pasta n sauce.. Tiddles really likes them but canonly manage half a packet so I have the other half.

Cleaning the kitchen this afternoon and hopefully getting a few more bits listed on turbolister for Thursdays half price listing.

I have a mountain of laundry to fold too.. that'll be my arm exercise today lol

I've done my HHE - and pong as a result

Am still doing OK - keeping to my WW points just not going to WW = saving £5.50 weighing fee + savings on pointed snacks

I had the same lightbulb moment as you owens - I used to work for WW as a weigher/clerk but now that I've moved house, I'm not that fussed with the local branch - not strict enough for me - WW worked best first time round when I lost nearly 4 stone in 8 months but I was so blinkered that everything else had to come a poor second and thats not sustainable if you want a life.

I find that I usually have a wobble late in the evening so I keep a couple of points for a treat or (when its not hissing it down) go for a walk to keep my paws out of the cookie tin.

This thread has a far better ethos - eat proper food not rubbish cardboard carp, eat when you need to and save money by cooking from scratch. Plus, from what I've seen already, the support network is priceless

Afternoon all,

Had a huge breakfast of apple juice 2 Shredded wheat, lots of mixed dried fruit, some honey and milk and coffee....not feeling even mildly hungry yet so may have no lunch although I made a big pot of mixed veg soup and its nearly ready...may even have that instead of dinner.

Good luck to all
