Well, I am shocked, all this talk of miss wet t-shirt contests!![msnembarrased][}:)] Well we can dream can't we[msnwink] And as for you Macka, I am sure we can dream something up[msntongue].
Another pound off today, so all that restraint did work.
Well done Liesa, hope you enjoy the trial. Talking of clothes the FP inspected my wardrobe as I checked the old clothes I can get back into now I am 21lbs lighter than when I first started at SW last September. I now have a VERY small wardrobe as FP have decided nearly all my old clothes are "fat clothes" or "frumpy" and I now have a huge pile to go to the charity shop. Gerry Weber linen jacket, Anna Schulz blouse - think I am going to retrieve that, have sussed out if I tuck it in it might work - had to agree large bulky shapeless blouse - even in sheer black chiffon - did nothing for me plus loads more! My work suits are falling off me, ditto my winter coat and jacket. In a fit of enthusiasm I hit Monsoon this afternoon, found 1 top I liked, but I am so mean, thinking £35 for a top when I can find something like that in dollars in Florida in a few weeks time! Did fall in love with a lovely skirt, but decided £75 was too much for a skirt that did not have elasticated waist and therefore could not shrink with me - don't you love the positive thoughts peeps!! Whole exercise was started as we are off to Dubai for my belated 50th birthday treat in a few weeks time and was just checking what fits me. Am hitting Windsor tomorrow afternoon, maybe a pair of shoes will have my name on[^].

Keep the posive attitude about the dieting and you'll be in sparkly jeans long before your next trip to Florida.
I was very naughty again last night - and before Macka adds his wicked comments - I mean I had garlic bread, potato skins and dip and pizza

Weigh in before leaving TOMORRROW, 14 hours to go.
Lost 2 pounds so now going to forget about it all for 4 weeks.
Why does there always seem so much to do before you go on holiday? The house to clean, the dog to sort out, finish the packing, do all the paperwork and of course I just have to watch Tim Henman and Andy Murray play against each other this afternoon on the box.

i lost <span style="color:red">1LB</span id="red">with the nurse
wish it was more, but i can feel it coming off the body again!! my favourite skirt is sooooo annoying its baggy around the waist, wont be able to wear it for much longer![msncry]
still i can buy a new one!! but then dont wanna buy because i dont want to stop with 1-2 sizes down!!!
<span style="color:red">16stone 6lbs today</span id="red">
WOW Fiona
congratulations on your 21 lb weight loss
you are a STAR !!!

Liesa
Congratulations to you too it was only 1/2 for me this week and i was so disappointed so i know how hard it is to really really want more
but as my consultant says "the scenic route may take longer but is still gets you to your destination
and its usually a much more enjoyable journey
Mizzy
Well don all you LOSERS!!!![clap][clap][clap][clap]
Well done everyone - although it is sooooooo satisfying to lose a huge amount it is often easy to put it back on, so slow and steady is the best way!
We are off 22nd I think, and it will be my second trip there, but Chris goes several times a year on business. We were hoping to have a couple of days in Bahrain as well to visit one of the factories but it seems too difficult to organise, so will do a 3 day trip there another time.
Having a big debate as to whether to stay in the Grosvenor House which is brand new and doing special half board offers but is surrounded by building or go back to the Jebel Ali where you are away from the hustle and bustle of the city and could be on a tropical island. I think I am plumping for the Jebel Ali as could do with 5 days of R&R!![clap]

Hello from California [msnsmile2]
Am trying to be good - eating lots of fish dishes. Also doing lots of exercise - been yomping in the Big Sur and walked for miles around San Francisco. Also a family bike ride along the seafrint in Monterey.

Well Done Fiona and enjoy Dubai

went to Slimming World 2nite, my neighbour put on weight and so did my Megan[V], but she thought she would, but low and behold I ACTUALLY lost 2 1/2lbs. It's the first time in eight weeks I have lost more than them in a week (but they have both lost more overall) I was shocked.[msneek]

Mizzy/ Liesa, I have YoYo'd a bit but in total around 10lbs (had a change of scales mid diet which did not help) like to lose another 10lbs, my size 14's are now loose (Im 5' 7") so I want to be back into 12's comfortably[msnwink]
I have a yeast overgrowth which I have just started taking supplements for and they seem to be working, yeast overgrowth can inhibit weight loss apparently[msnwink]
Hi, I'm back[msncry]
Have not long been home and already been on the scales to get the bad news[msnscared], and yes it is bad news.
I have managed to put on <span style="color:red">7lb</span id="red">[msnoo][msnoo][msnsad][msneek][msnscared]

i am very happy, some months ago i bought some "new" denim skirts from ebay, and they are new, i was so disapponited that they were very tight, this was a few months ago when i was in a 24, but had lost a few pounds so bit silly of me, but turned out to be in my favour, i bought 22, but when this lovely skirt came, it was to tight on my hips so i hung it up along with a few others i got as well, anyway i have now put it on!! and its a size 22 but still big around my waist but little loose on my thighs!!
oh how happy!!!!
i have decided whilst i am the most serious i have ever been about dieting, so going to buy a couple of "used" skirts denim ones my favourites, which will help me as my clothes get a little bigger!!!:D well, it seems so silly to go and buy many new clothes when i know i plan to get smaller!!!!
[clap][clap][clap][clap][clap] and i most certainly wont keep them!! i am never going back to a size 24 again!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sally 7lbs is what i put on, infact most of the family put on 7lbs, not fair in my case because of being ill, and unable to eat very much especially the first week, and i walked for England especially around walmart so i dont understand it really, as other members of the family, with the amount they ate should have put on more then a stone!!!!!! piggy piggy oinl oinks!!!!

Right, today is the day that I start again. Must lose the 7lb I put on while in Florida.
Have just been to Asda for my shopping and the trolley was full of healthy things, nothing bad in there (apart from sweets for trick or treat).
Having bbq cooked chicken (no skin) and salad for dinner tonight, looking forward to that.
Peter got on the scales this morning and he put on 9lb and Rachel has put on 8lb. The other 2 have been no way near the scales so not sure about them.

Abstention day today for me after weekend of trying out the new galaxy bar, thanks to my dear daughter and husband for introducing that delight to me! Also roast pork with all the trimmings and apple crumble last night.
Oatflakes and grapes for brekkies, soup and an apple for lunch and spag bog (lots of pasta, little meat) & salad for supper. Now it is dark early got to walk the hounds on the streets instead of national trust land, which they will love with all the trick or treating going on, or perhaps forgo and nip to the gym instead!
LiesaAnna
31-10-2005, 17:02
ummmm Fiona thats a tough call!!!! i would rather walk the dogs!!![msnwink] well all happy then!!
Hi
well i've had a bloomin awful weekend food wise!
we have had decorators in thurs - sat and they took over the kitchen and utliity so have been having lots of snacks instead of healthy choices i've been making some rather dubious ones
you know the ones i mean , chocolate biscuits and crisps
;)
and we had a trial run for our christmas dinner yesterday
roast turkey,stuffing,parsinps,sweet potatoes,roasties carrots,brocolli,cauli and sprouts (except for me i hate sprouts!!!)
and christmas pud with custard yum yum !!!
so i have to be a good girl now and behave myself
the only problem is the kids have been out trick or treating and we have bags and bags of candy
i will get other half to hide the candy so cannot be tempted
Mizzy
I had a really good day yesterday, porridge for breakfast, tuna salad and fruit salad for lunch, crispbreads and salad for tea[angel][angel][angel] I avoided all the Halloween treats too[angel][angel][angel]
Hope for another good day today[msnwink]

good day yesterday!!! didnt have time to do much picking let alone healthy food, had a few sweeties last night!! well it would've been rude to say no![msnwink]
off for my induction training today so have my packed lunch, its from 9.30am to 4.30pm[msnscared]
so no picking!![laugh] am so looking forward to this!! gonna be for the day!!!
Have a good day Liesa, let us know how you got on. Despite only having one set of trick or treaters - so loads of goodies left - have managed to be restrained and ate none of it!!
Toast & marmite for brekkies - on the hoof at 7.30 on the way to dropping YD off at the station and walking the hounds, and just going to make my salad before I go to work. Saw a diet in the telegraph yesterday about eating apples all the time, am going to have a look at the website and will report back if it looks worth trying!
Have been so very good since I got back on Friday, must get rid of those extra pounds[msnscared]
Didn't have any trick or treats last night knocking at the door so have a bag of goodies left, have resisted so far.
Day at home today so will catch up on all my housework, washing etc. will try and keep busy all day so no time to pick.
Chicken fajitas wraps tonight for dinner
Liesa, hope everything goes well for you today, let us know.

didnt go, big failure, you have to have your familys blessing and i havent, so am very low and tearful now!
Oh no Liesa, whats happened.
I don't know the ins and outs but I think it is a great idea having a little job. Gets you out and to be something apart from Mum all the time. I know I like going out. Have only just recently been going back to work after 15 years bringing up children. Also the money helps towards our holidays.

i think after 25 years of marriage and 2 extra years of being together is very difficult for some of the family to grasp, so used to me being there, hes not that happy bout me losing too much weight either, think hes feeling very insecure
i want 2 littles holidays a year and some self importance!! i wanna be wanted for me not someones wife or mother!
i want nice things in life, not that i dont have them, just want some different things now, still want my husband cos i love him!![msnwink]
Right, so it's your Steve. I am sure that between us all on here we can think of ways for you to get over this.
I think you are right in saying that he is feeling insecure about things, afterall everything is changing, you are losing weight and wanting to go out to work.
I am going to give this some thought as I go about my housework and am sure others will be on with some suggestions.
We are not talking about a full time job are we, just a few hours a week.
I had a few problems when I started back, not with husband but the girls, so used to me being here all the time. They don't need me 24/7 now. Things will work out, I'm sure.

Hey now Leisa, ok the opportuntiy may have passed you by this time, but I think you need to put yourself first here, for everyone's sake. Your family will want a mum and wife who is happy, they may just not realise the importance of that yet. Of course your hubby feels insecure, he's used to and comfortable with the way you are, who knows what he's imagined happening when you "change" I think you have to find a way of letting them all know that you are about to metamorphose into a butterfly, but that you won't fly away and it won't change how much you love them.
Sorry Leisa how arrogant of me to say that, but I have seen this before. It's in no-ones interest for you to be unhappy.

Liesa, In my view it is all about give and take, Steve can be insecure by all means but does he not understand that you will be around longer because you will be more healthy!!!
Also it will give you more self worth if you can get out and earn a few extra pennies[msnwink]
You can have both your little job and your husband why should it be either or?? That's just not very fair[msnsad]
Steve could at least let you do it for a trail period and if it does not work out you can always leave but it seems daft not to give it a go??
[grouphug][grouphug][grouphug]
I agree with everything Macka and Julie said. See if you can come to a compromise on the working front, it will give you some well deserved self-esteem and (equally importantly) some independent money - even if you do save it for the holidays!
I used to work (apart from own self-satisfaction) to pay for holidays, then it became school fees and now it's the villa / holidays!
I agree everyone has issues when you start losing weight, but your health is the most important thing, and I am sure the whole family want you around forever, and the best way to ensure that is to be fit & healthy and slimmer!
A happy you = happy family.[grouphug] Chin up, see if you can keep the option open at the nursing home - they will probably understand the conflict when you have been a stay-at-home mum for a long time, and will want to be supportive. Happy employee = happy employer!!

Thanks all for your support, i dont know maybe i am overacting? but i feel terrible i have joint pain and a cold i think (dont normally have them) so maybe feeling too low, i feel very sick as well, but i was looking at fulltime work, i am so cheesed off with leg pain and sitting staring at these four walls doesnt help!
and as for the dam dog and the whining it gets me down!!
i called the careline people and explained , the lady was very understanding, said to take some time and call them back when i am ready, they will wait, so am very pleased about that, think i am going to just have to stand up to hubby!![}:)]
thanks again!! xx[grouphug]
How about going for a part time job, keep everyone happy[msnsmile2]

Thanks all[grouphug] think i may have blown this up with not feeling so good! will give him a good talking to tonight, and maybe we can reach some sort of happy medium
i would rather work full time with coming up to christmas extra pennies and all that!!
i dont know, i will have to think about this!![grouphug]
Liesa
[grouphug]
cant you tell him that you think it will make you happy and you at least want to have a try
focus on something he likes say snooker or the pub and ask him to think how he would feel if you ever prevented him from doing the things he likes to do
if this fails you could try the "ways to a mans heart approach" and cook him big steak with a nice cold beer etc;
and if all else fails you could use you feminie charms[msnwink]
hope it all gets sorted out for you
dont be sad[grouphug] Mizzy
LiesaAnna
01-11-2005, 19:58
thanks Mizzy,
unfortunately or fortunately he doesnt do pubs/snooker, only his motorbike rides, he loves his bike and i dont mind in the slightest as he works hard enough, i share the enthusiasm with him, etc
he most of the time makes me happy, so no problems there, i think he feels its all a bit sudden!! i always said when Terri my 16 almost 17 next week left school i would like to get a job, i guess he didnt think i meant it, in his defence i will just say, i was chatting to someone on the monday about what i would like to do, looked on the internet and found a job!! no hanging around once my mind is made up!!! and went for it, so i suppose he didnt have time to get used to it!!
but he always knew with my joints problem that by sitting and staring at the 4 walls wouldnt make my problem go away, not saying working would, but to have something different to think about would be very good for me, both for myself my joints and of course my weight as i wouldnt be picking (i dont
;)) but it takes my mind off the food!!
so lots for me and not for him really, but there would be he would reap the rewards of me being superfit and healthy!!![msnwink][msnwink][msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]
oh well his loss!![^]
Liesa what hours does Steve work? What if you were there when he left and then when he came home but you worked in between, he would not even notice you were gone[msnwink][msnwink][msnwink]

01-11-2005, 21:27
thanks Julie, am sure he would[msnwink] hes off between 9am and 6.30pm, i will let him feel so bad he wont want me around the house!!! [msnwink]

Expounded loads of energy this am cleaning fridge as had disaster with it yesterday and had to switch it off to defrost - water everywhere etc. Bin full of old rubbish and gleaming fridge.[clap]

well as long as you enjoyed it or it wouldve been a waste!! been feeling like peanut butter sarnie for ages but have resisted so far!!
sally i am with you especially on this cos i want to do a stone at a time!!! so heres to the next one!!!
Peanut butter and jelly is even better (the old golly jam!).
Marmite and lashing of butter on wholemeal toast - now that is something I find hard to resist, and gave in today and had some!! Am off to the gym now for penance.

Yes Paula absolutely, no ciggy now for five weeks on Monday. I'm very surprised with myself but very proud too[^]. I won't smoke again now I just know I won't. I don't know why I know, I just do. But as I've said before I'm eating like a pig now.
Today's intake.
2 Toast, 3 Latte for brekkie
Then a Banana, and handfulls of assorted nuts with raisins
Toasted sausage and egg sarnie mid morning, then Cornish Pastie and half a pint of milk for lunch.
Embarrased to tell you this bit. As one of our folk leaves today it's cakes..[msnembarrased] 2 cream slices and a cream donut (yes 3 cream cakes)
I'm doing quite a lot of press ups in the morning so I'm getting quite muscular around my shoulders and pecs and upper arms but my tum is growing at an alarming rate.[msnscared] I have a beer belly, but I don't drink beers, not fair somehow. I'll sort it out soon, just need to hit on the formula.

Well done everyone, and hope you have gone down a size too Julie!
Bad day today, had to drive to Bournemouth and back again (via High Wycome on the way there) so been in the car all day, no lunch, got home starving, and had only had oat flakes and banana for brekkies.
Ok, (see Paul we can all admit our wrongdoings!!) one banana, 3 pieces of Galaxy and a piece of toast & marmite (showed it the butter though rather than slapped it on) later....
Fish cakes and sauteed pots (in frylite) + salad for supper. I have resisted the banana cake, but there is tarte au pommes and thick cream a beckoning!!

In the past I've tried everthing, patches, Zyban, puffers, lozenges, gum, hypnotherapy, all no use. This time I Just did it, I think your subconcious mind decides it's time. It's been easy really compared to the times I've failed. I could write a thread on it. I suppose I Shouldn't analyse it really, just wallow in my reflected glory[^])

I walked around the Trafford Centre yesterday looking for 12 long black trousers and they are in short supply, tried on 14 long and they were loose but no 12 longs to compare so I came home with nothing[msnsad] think I am in between at the moment[msnscared]

Well Ellie do you think you can lose 2lbs a week - because that is all it is (note the all!!). If you keep strictly to a diet I am sure you can. The rest of us keep sliding off ours!! Out for Sunday lunch today, supper will be soup and definately the gym tomorrow!!
Well - talking of slipping [msnscared]
Back from my trip and it will be straight back ot SW on Tuesday to assess the damage[msnsad]
Need I say more!!
Here is my OV pledge then girls...I WILL LOSE HALF A STONE BY CHRISTMAS!!!!!
A lb a week for me between now and christmas so I will be safely in a size 12[msnwink][msnwink][clap][clap][clap][clap]
Well doen Julie, I would like to do the same, and if it can be 1 stone I will be even happier!!
LiesaAnna
07-11-2005, 01:11

so i am going to make a very hard concious effort starting this week, i will only eat at set meal times, so for brekkie i had/having oatso simple
lunch (probably out but still healthily)
dinner/evening meals
and NO PICKING!!!! as Steve said yesterday i was picking and not really aware of doing it!![msnoo]
also its funny (well its not really) that my knee has started playing up quite badly at night time, i reckon is was something they slipped into my tea when i was at the hospital!!!![msnwink] only joking!!
i am desperate not to put it back on!!!!!
i hate being fat!!!
Ok, I'll go for a 32" waist by Christmas and a six pack.[msneek]
ok ok
i pledge that i will have reached my one stone award by christmas

Even though I'm not here much at the moment, I pledge to lose half a stone by the end of November. I've been "picking"far too much lately and this has not been helped by a heavy workload and high stress levels[msnscared]. However-I need to do this and no excuses!!!

Started WW online, it seems great, I planned what I am having today for breakfast, dinner and tea and it just works out all the points for you.....dead easy. I have 2 points left to play with, don't know what to do, a two finger kit kat or a banana.
I've got to learn no chocolate I will have the banana today I thinks[msnwink]

You will be pleased to know I have restrained myself and not eaten the cake, but that is about all ...........
Sunday Roast out - beef, puffties, pots and chocolate pudding - no breakfast or supper you will be pleased to hear! Lunch out today - prawn salad, but no pud (I firmly said no) (banana for brekkies[msnwink]) and chinese chow for supper as she was born and brought up in Hong Kong, plus interned by the Japs there during WW2.
Have only tomorrow to starve before weigh-in - bet you anything I have put on, do I dare get on the scales tomorrow am - was still ok today!! Back on thes straight and narrow, no more wine, no more pud, in fact no more anything unless it is on my diet[:I].

well done Mizzy!!!
i just ate my oatso simple, fruit museli, its the best !!
had same yesterday and went out for lunch, had wholemeal beef and red onlion baguette, with tortillas, then dinner i had chilli mince with boiled white rice, (i also have my meal on a smaller plate now, so my brain thinks i am still eating a "normal" size meal)
and not one snack went between my lips at any other time during the day!!! this is what i am going to look at and see if this is my problem, i will not pick at any time between meal times!!!
Morning all
Am off to SW today to get the official verdict on my hols. Am hoping it will not be too excessive as I did not snack and did lots of exercize on the trip ( Hiking, Cycling and such)
Will check in later with the results
Mizzy - the outfit sounds fab. Go for it girl. Think I will give it another couple of weeks before I start looking for my Xmas outfit [msnwink]

08-11-2005, 14:34
Mizzy, spicy carrot soup sounds fab, any chance of the recipe please??
Been in France the last two weeks and only put on a couple of pounds, mainly because no picking between meals, then soup or salad starter and LOTS of walking around.
Mary
Good Luck at sw Jan
i'm sure it will be ok
isnt it scary that moment just before you get on the scales
i do the weighing at my class and its still scary for me!!!
Liesa
you are doing fantastic!!!
but i would stay away from anything "white" in the bread /pasta/rice food groups
they are full of starchy carbs that take your body ages to digest and bloat you out something awful
i know its a shock to the taste buds at first but wholemeal/wholegrain and brown are so much kinder to the digestive system and they will speed up your weight loss too
also these foods have a low GI so fill you up for longer
it took me ages to give up the white bread but now i grumble something awful to the staff if morrisons if they sell out of my favourite organic wholemeal
Mizzy
For Mary
Spicy Carrot Soup
peel then slice or dice 2kg carrots one large leek and put in large pan with boiling water and two vegetable stock cubes
simmer until soft and then take off heat drain off some of the water into a jug and put aside blend remaining soup until nice a smooth (i use a hend blender that sticks straight into the pan) add schwartz "spicy season all" to taste and add juice from jug until soup is desired consistency and then your all done
you can use any spices you fancy but i like the schwartz one because it gives the soup a really warm kick
if i'm feeling in a proper chef mood i will add fresh chopped coriander instead of the spice and some freshly squeezed orange juice
this will make enough soup for about 6-8 big servings (i usually freeze half)but thats only if my husband doesnt eat it all first [msntongue]

You can do it, we were looking at old photos and I looked so thin 10 years ago and that was as a size 12[msnscared] I need to loose it once and for all, no more babies for me!!!
Sounsd good peeps, oatflakes and skimmed milk and cottage cheese and baby toms and apple so far for me[angel] - well have to make up for the past few days don't I!
Don't forget if make soups if you have roast chicken at all boil the bones up as then you have stock for free - plus without salt. Anyone been reading about all that salt added to everything?
Raisins you have to measure out, 4syns per 28g / 1oz - any dried fruit is full of sugar, but you could have that amount in a rice salad say.
Nuts ...
Pumpkin seeds - 8 sins per 28g / 1 oz
Brazil nuts - 1 syn per nut - packed full of selenium so very good for you
Macadamia nuts - .5 syns each (10.5 per 28g)
Macadamia Nuts mixed with raisins - 6.5 per 28g
Peanuts, chocolate coated (what swear word is that on here!) 7.5 per 28g
Pecan Nuts 10 per 28g
Walnuts 10 per 28g
salted peanuts - 8.5 per 28g
Pine nuts - 8.5 per 28g
Cashew nuts - 8.5 per 28g
Hazlebuts - 9 per 28g
So all in all, nuts are off because as we all know - who can only eat 1oz!!
This may sound like a stupid question, but what is a sin/syn?
Sorry Macka this is what the Slimming World system uses. We are allowed 10/15 per day along with tons of free food and healthy extras. You can have a look at their website online.

Yes me too I was 9 and a half stone until I was about 28/9. 13 stone now, probably heavier. Doesn't sound much 13 stone but it's waaay more than I feel comfy with. Mrs. Macka thinks it suits me. It's probably about right for my height. I suppose I've got the perfect physique really, it's just not arranged in the right order.[msnwink]

[msncry][msncry]well all this good work i am doing [msncry][msncry] the nurse has made me 4lbs heavier then the last weigh in and i am devastated!!![msncry]
only thing in my favour is, almost wrong time, have put weight on before at this time, also i was wearing a denim skirt, dont normally, have tried to put an old favourite of mine on, cos its light weight, but wanted to be different because i felt confident, the nurse doesnt think it did me any favours! she said i have to wear it next week, but dont think i can, its my new size 20 and its tooo big around the waist!!!:Dnot at all tight on thighs so wont be wearing it for long!!
to be honest i think this is a reality slap!!! i have been very very good since sunday since we have all made "our pledges" so next week i am hoping to slip down the plug ole!!
hope you all have better luck then i did!
keep it up girls and Macka!!
Liesa
you must be rubenesque shaped like me!! thats what my husband calls it - i prefer being described as a Jessica Rabbit sort of figure!!!
none of my skirts fit on the waist they hang off me but they are nice and snug on the bottom area
denim jeans can weigh 2 lbs Leisa so it is never a good idea to get weighed in denim
so you probably havent gained 4lbs at all and sod what the nurse says Leisa if you dont want to wear the skirt then dont
god who does she think she is Trinny or Susannah
[msnmad]
if she says anything about the skirt next week smile sweetly and ask her very nicely which one she is it will really put her in her place
dont take any [bad language filtered out] thats my motto

Thanks Mizzy,
the nurse is wonderful she has been supporting me for around.....2....3...4...5...6....7.??? oh i cant remember for how many years, so when i am losing weight she feels it for me!!! and she knows when i put on just how disappointed i am[msncry] the only thing that gets to me is, all the time i have been "shifting" the weight these last 2-3 months i have had no knee pain virually at all!, but now i have gained a couple of unwanted pounds my knee has been really killing me this last week!! i wonder if there is some sort of connection within the brain???
well its weird!

Not to worry I don't mind if it works[msnwink]

Will blow it tonight as it is my Jessicas 11th birthday and at the weekend we are taking a bunch of 10/11 year olds ice skating but tonight she wants a take away, a kebab of all things[msneek]

Well done Sally[msnsmile2]
Liesa you will do this, fancy wearing a denim skirt to get weighed[V] that skirt alone especially if new and thick and heavy probably weighed almost the four pounds[grouphug]
Well done everyone. Oatflakes & skimmed milk for brekkies, plate of broad beans for lunch, hard-boiled egg when starving at 4.30, loads of water, and jacket pot, beans, cheese + 1 sausage for supper. Been shopping so now have fruit and carrots to attack. Bought some red cabbage so going to make a huge salad with it.
2 walks for the dogs today as my day at home, and off to the gym tomorrow am.

Need I say anymore[msnwink]
Gosh Fiona arnt you a good girl "plate of broad beans for lunch" is that all?
today i've had [edited out - this is a family forums]ic toast and ginger jam which is all i ever have for brekkie (2syns)
a breakfast for lunch which consisted of three 95% fat free sausages four rashers of bacon (all fat cut off) mushrooms tomatoes and two fried eggs fried using fry light (1+ 1/2syns)
and i've been really good and had smoked haddock for tea with roasted vegetables followed by lemon cheesecake mullerlight
now all i need to decide is what shall i have for my end of day treat
