  • Evening - not really a good day today but as it is my weigh in day I am not too worried. Start fresh tomorrow with a swim and sensible food. Have a glass of wine to hand :D and a loaf of bread in the machine (that will be lethal when finished - yum).

    DH out at work (he is a doorman Fri and Sat nights) so I get the remote and a chance to catch up. Brothers and Sisters at the mo and some Army Wives and Desperate Housewives as well.:T

    Quiet weekend on the cards - have a good one all.

    :D:D

    I was making the coconut and mango trifles for tomorrows dinner

    Is this the recipe in the Good Food mag? Really fancied trying those, if it is the same one I would love to know how they turn out :T

    morning all,

    Thanks for the kindness regarding DS. Bit of a so so day as it went on with him. I think I must be sort of like Frogga - I want him all better in a week and I know that just can't happen.

    I also had a little tear over your post about feeling bereaved at the binging (I must be that way out this week with emotions :rolleyes: ) . I can remember nearly 30 years of binging and it does scare me to think I might go back to it. I know that it would be so easy when stress hits. or boredom, or even excitement. :o Crikey, it could be anything in my case. :o

    Anyways, determined to be Miss Positivity so my news is that 5 3/4 lbs have gone today. :) I always seem to lose big the week before TOTM. I was looking back.
    So that means that I've lost 4 st 1/2 lb in total now for the tally.

    Not sure about food again today- will have to get that sorted again soon but its been what mum and dad have given me this week. I've not eaten that healthily. :o

    MRSMC - Over the moon about the rings - things like that are just so exciting. :D
    Mine was realising that I could get an ordinary watch on , not just the one that was extended. Oh and trying on a pair of standard cheap sandals without the buckles or velcro fastens and realising my feet now fit into them. I've been in s/h Brevits for so long. :o

    DH fetch my coffee so away to have a quiet drink with him before lads wake up.

    Well done everyone this week! I know I've missed names but I know who you all are and its really spurred me on . ;)

    Mrs Mc - bit off topic but would you put me down for undeclared on the GC thread when you do the list this month. Not got time to post there and would be cheating to carry on as parents bringing most of our food. Thanks. :)

    Good Morning SuperCyberSlimmers,

    Had a lie in today thanks to my lovely new curtains keeping the daylight out :j

    Feeling much more cheerful this morning. Sorry to have been a moaning minnie yesterday. The good news is I didn't binge at all even though at one point I could hear that bl**dy toad in my head telling me to :mad: I just ignored the bu**er and did me cross stitch :D

    Well done on getting focused again RS. It's only 7 days til WD and even you and I can mamage that ;) Let's just do one week at a time.

    Dont know what you mean about me being impatient cheerfulness :confused: That's not a quality I see in myself at all, you must be confusing me with someone else silly billy ;)

    Love the piccy Nixy, hope you've all spotted yourself ~ I wonder who the big chubby one at the bottom is :rotfl:

    Have a really good weekend everyone, I 'm gonna have a lazy one doing my stitchin and watchin the footie :D

    WOOHOOOO cheerfulness :T

    Now do we have to keep telling you about how to announce losses :confused:
    not in little itty bitty letters..... IN NICE BIG PRETTY AND PROUD COLOURS with some of :j and :T and even these_party_ :dance: -especially for a loss of that size :D
    Rockie has it right ...big loud n proud shout it from the rooftop letters :T

    That is a brilliant loss especially with all the stresses that you have at the moment... bet the bike has helped -well perhaps not helped your behind but burnt the cals :rotfl:
    No problem about the GC...a lot of folks don't declare a total anyway ;)


    Well it is peeing it down here..2 days now and the novelty of NOT having to water the veggies has worn off.. i want to get out there and get the last of my veggies set :rolleyes: ..at this rate they will be water logged :eek:

    meals today-
    1. brekkie -just had a pear and will make a juice later
    2. lunch -think i will have yogurt and some fruit
    3. dinner -have taken some steak out of the freezer and some asparagus n baby corn as im toying with doing a thai curry.. its bloomin cold out and hubby is golfing so thought id do this for a change
    4. snackies.. fruit or yogurts
    When hubby nipped me for some more pots n canes last night we nipped into the supermarket... got myself a whole watermelon as a treat :j and a wedge of golden water melon (never seen it before)... so now i just need to try and re-jigg the fridges to get said melon in :o ..the wedge went in.. it was "wedged" in :rotfl: sorry it amused me :p

    nothing much happening at this end at the moment..so i will get off and catch up with everyone later :D
    have a great weekend everyone :T

    You nut! :rotfl: :rotfl: I am pleased, really pleased, just don't show it well. :rolleyes:

    Frogga - I very carefully skirted round the word 'impatient.' Perish the thought that either of us are... we're just optimists right (that get disappointed a bit. :p )

  • Hello everyone and well done to cheerfulness on a great loss this week! That is made even more incredible by the fact that you have been facing such adversity - hope things continue to improve on that front.

    I haven't had anything to eat or drink yet - am just going to have a cup of tea and will probably make some porridge. Lunch will be cottage cheese and salad and tea is likely to be steak and salad, but I'm not too sure yet.

    Superspam - hope the meal goes well.

    Thanks again to everyone for all your encouragement yesterday - it really helped!
