OV Slimming Club Part 3!

[Aiminghigh]

Well ladies, after a non stop weekend, this is the first time I've had to sit down and post! After Betty's,I did the supermarket shop on the way home, then went straight out on a mum's night out[msnembarrased]

After working yesterday, it was out to an engagement party until the early hours!

York was lovely! It was great to meet Julie and Marie and we chattered like old friends. If there's another "meet" I would highly recommend it to you all.

I am at my target weight now, but it jumps back on in the blink of an eye if I'm not careful. After 3 nights out in a row (plus the Betty's trip) I will need to show restraint for the next couple of days

Have a good Sunday

Good morning all, weather horrible here this morning, haven't even been out for a walk yet. Hoping it will clear up later.

Had a super meal last night, was fairly good, smoken salmon with creme fraiche and dill sauce followed by duck in a armangac sauce, not creamy or thickened and veg, plus a bottle of wine between us. We couldn't manage a sweet. As the restaurant was on the island we walked there and back.

Hope everyone has a good day, will catch up later.

Morning all, too many to name and I always worry I have missed someone[msnwink]

Just had a tom, herb and bacon omelette so going red today[clap]

I would like to echo Mizzys comments the support in here is wonderful and if I think back to last year and how I was eating very little during the week then having a few chocs at the weekend and yoyoing - now I am in control and its a wonderful feeling, I now know if I stay the same just to keep at it and suddenly it starts to come off again, so thanks everyone[grouphug]

NOTE TO ALL THOSE READING THIS THREAD BUT NOT HAVING THE SAME SUCCESS AS WE REGULARS ARE ON HERE.....................If you really want to lose weight and eat healthily for the rest of your life then get along to your nearest SW class, join up, stay to class, listen and learn, then come home and stick to the plan and by Christmas YOU COULD be about 2 stone lighter than you are now, there are no short cuts but it can be done AND ITS A GREAT WAY OF DOING IT[msnwink]

So have a great day all[clap][clap][clap][clap]

Well said Julie[clap][clap][clap]

Having a bit of a lazy day today.

Was up at 5.30am as Rachel needed to be at work at 6am and I got the short straw to take her. Much to her horror I just put a pair of shoes on and went out in my PJ's. Well who is going to see me at that time of the morning. Went back to bed and stayed there until 9.

After Thursday's disappointment of putting 2lb on I can now say that the scales are moving in the right direction[msnsmile2]

The vegatbale curry I made last night was OK but don't think I will be making it again. I may just adapt it to my liking though. The strawberries we picked yesterday were lovely[msntongue], much more taste than shop ones. Peter and I sat with a punnet between us last night and ate the lot. Rachel and Hannah did the same with the other punnet. Still have some raspberries left for today.

Have a good day everyone.

good afternoon everyone

well i'm on a blitz day today[msnoo] the house ladies not the food, my daughter is away tommorow for 4 nights and in her absence i've decided to de-clutter and dejunk the kids bedrooms
i have done my sons room this morning and it's almost finished apart from washing skirting boards and doors

just had a quick ham and boiled egg salad for lunch and now i'm off back upstairs into the pit that is my daughters room[msnscared]

i absolutely hate cleaning her room, after picking everything up off the floor and hoovering i get to admire the carpet for approximately an hour before it all looks like a warzone again[msneek]
there is a standing joke in this house that if we ever had burglars, they would take one look at the place think we'd already been done over and leave[msnembarrased]

aah well at least all this cleaning will burn a few calories off

will check in later tonight

Been shopping today and caught sight of myself in a full length mirror, something I usually avoid, and was very pleased to see such a difference [clap][clap]

Got myself measured for a bra and again was pleased that I have gone down 2 sizes but up a cup size, so guess I have been buying the wrong cup anyway.

Now feel more determined than ever[msnsmile2]

Well done Sally!!!! [clap][clap][clap]

Its such a great feeling, I wore a pair of jeans today that I bought in Florida in 2004 which I have not worn before because they were way too small, now they are loose[clap][clap] All my size 14 jeans and combats are now too big so going to try going down a size 12 from Next, so going to order a pair of white skinny jeans in a size 12[msneek]

Mizzy you are doing exactly what I need to do, think I will start this week too[clap][clap][clap]

We went to the cinema and I only had my Starbucks skinny latte[angel] Saw Over the Hedge which was very funny[clap]

Just cooking a b-b-q styled tea[msnsmile2]

[mizzy]

well done Sally[clap] i think that i should be re-measured for my bra size again too, i know mine are too big but so far i haven't had the chance to or reminded myself to nip into marks and get measured[msnembarrased]

Jill, you seem to be always out socialising and at meals, i don't know how you manage to fit in all in and still lose weight, i'm so envious[msnwink]

well the childrens rooms are clean and tidy but not for how long i'll never know, my bet is they'll be back to the usual squallor in the morning[msnsad]

it's got really humid here all of a sudden and it's not pleasant at all, so i'm off now to have a quick cooling shower and get into my jim jams

Well done Sally, you must be feeling very pleased with yourself.

I am between sizes at the moment, 14s generally are too big and 12s are too tight. Fortunately I have some small 14s which I can wear. It is really good being able to get into clothes that I haven't worn for more than two years. I have suddenly discovered a whole new wardrobe.

Mizzy, yes we do seem to go out quite a bit, that's why I have to be fairly strict with myself on what I have to eat when given a choice. We are going to Brighton for the day tomorrow, they have a sand sculpture exhibition of ancient monuments, so it will be lunch out and then back to MIL in the evening. Not quite sure we will be doing there as the restaurantshe was going to take us to is closed on Monday evenings. She very rarely cooks for us as she finds it far too stressful, can't think why she always cooks for two anyway, herself and BIL.

I also take quite a bit of exercise, two long walks every day and also various exercises for muscle toning. I also take various vitamin supplements which are meant to speed metabolism. I have always had a very slow metabolic rate so it has always made loosing weight difficult.

[mizzy]

can i apologise Jill for my previous post i haven't worded it very well at all what i was trying to say was this

i think you are great Jill to fit it all in with the food plan, being able to eat out and making the right food choices is never easy and your managing brilliantly and doing great with the weight loss[clap][clap][clap][grouphug]
