Lucy1982, completely off topic but I wanted to say how much I love your avatar! Is that your cat? I love cats and that one is GORGEOUS!!! Awwwwww!

Yes he is my gorgeous baby boy His name is Bertie

He was a Cat protection cat, his orginal owners abandoned him towards Christmas 2005 :eek: He came to live with us (read rule the house! :rotfl: ) in Jan 06. But he is only about 3 1/2 so still like a big kitten, but he has been poorly the last couple of days and is only just back to eating normally (thankfully!)

Bertie is lovely! Cannot believe someone would abandon him...that is sooo sad but at least he is with you now in a nice home! I have a cat, Buzzby, people say he is a maine coon but I don't have any paperwork...he has just had his 3rd birthday last month as weighed 8kg a year ago and think he is now even bigger...vet is gonna get really annoyed when he has to have his jabs next month! Kept on telling me to put him on a diet but he isn't fat, just big! Glad Bertie is eating better now poor thing...I lurve cats!

We have a very understanding vet.

When we got him he only weighted 3.5kg which was under weight. When we took him for his jabs in Jan, he came in ar 6.5kg but again he is not fat, just huge!!!

Our vet just seemed to think that it was winter weight!! Shame I can't use that excuse :rotfl:

I know someone with 2 maine coon's and they are beautiful and very big!

I never realised how much I could become attached to my cat! I wasn't really a cat person before getting Buzz but I ADORE him and couldn't be without him! He is my baby...last summer I went to Glastonbury and had to take him to a cattery for the first time He loved it as had lots of fuss and attention from the owner! He also had a special makeover where they gave him a shampoo (took 2 of them!) and had his ears cleaned, claws tidyied up etc and they said they filled loads of nappy sacks full of hair as he is sooo hairy and fluffy! His fur was so smooth afterwards, I could not stop stroking him! Sorry, I could talk about my cat all day! xxx

That's ok, confirmed cat lover here.

We can't leave ours in a cattery as we worry he would think we are leaving him. We did a car boot the first year we had him and I swear he panicked, he didn't know who to followed around first!

I think his orginal owners moved and didn't take him with them.

We have never been brave enough to bath him, he gets all grumpy if you try to dry in when he comes in wet... we even got hissed at once!!!

I hated leaving Buzz, he has been their twice now and I am sure he is well looked after but I missed him like mad...probably moreso than my DD! They were installing webcams last time so people could login and see their cats over the internet! Mad! I too wouldn't be brave enough to bath Buzz as it would probably look like a scene from Edward Scissorhands or something as he would hack me to bits!

They aren't a fan of water are they.

I left Bertie alseep on the bed this morning. I swear he thinks that the house belongs to him!

Hiya - thanks for the password but I think we should maybe be a bit more cautious about posting the weekly passwords on here - as a few people have pointed out, it could be a breach of..um.....copyright?....and we could end up getting the website in trouble and the thread closed down. :eek:

Sorry if I'm sounding bossy , it's just that I really rely on this thread for motivation and I would be off the diet within days if I couldn't come on here for support.

I agree with that, the consultant was on about it ( copyright)the other day. Perhaps the folks who have posted could delete them. It only takes one person to report and the thread may disappear.

Hi snaggles thank you for your nice warm welcome, Its great reading the daily entries, everyone sounds so happy-go-lucky. It takes me back 14 years to when I was a S/W member. I reached my goal and then I became one of S /W consultants it was hard work but fun . I was also working as a nurse so I had enough to keep me busy. I only worked 4 years for S/W But I enjoyed it, I found it was a bit too much with my nursing as well as a home to run. Anyway I am now retired and ashamed to say I have put my weight back on , I know, I should know better, but there you are it happened, now I have to start over again :eek: but, I am sure I will enjoy every minuet with such a great bunch of girls. During my time with S/W I collected lots of recipe's, they are not from S/W books they are what I and My fellow members put together. The recipe's are based on the Red & Green plan, syn and syn free.We kept the recipe's in folders in class for members to read or copy, Would I be aloud to put some of these recipe's in some days, they may be of help with weight lose, some are very simple they don't take a lot of time or effort to make up.
If there is any particular recipe someone wants I may be able to find it.
Have a good day. bubsy

Im trying very hard today.
So far I have had on my red day
poached egg, grilled lean bacon, tinned tomatoes, 2 WM nimble (HEB)
grilled chicken salad, mullerlight and strawberries.
I dont know what to have for tea, I have some lean mince in, I could make a savoury mince and syn some mashed potato.What is the best way to make the mince, I usually use instant gravy, garden peas, carrots and lots of seasoning.Any advances on this method?
