OV Slimming Club Part 3!

[jbrinkworth]

Hello everyone,

Glad to hear from you Mizzy and Julie[msnsmile2].

Well I'm pleased to say my head is back in the right place again and I'm back on track, did 45 mins on the treadmill yesterday morning (first time in ages) and took the children on a bike ride yesterday afternoon as well as walking the dogs twice. Aren't I an[angel].

Today, I did 56 mins on the treadmill (looked like a beetroot when I got off LOL), and walked the dogs. And on both days have been good foodwise[angel].

Also, I'm pleased to say I can wear my new jeans that I bought for myself last week, that are 2 sizes smaller than when I started in Feb. They're still a bit tight but wearable. I wore them with a new top (also 2 sizes smaller) and when my DH came home from work, he walked in the kitchen and said WOW, you look great (compliment indeed coming from him!). I've been wearing the same clothes that I had when I was bigger so I don't think he realised just how much I had lost. It made me very happy[msnsmile2].

Its only 29 weeks and 3 days till I go back go Florida so still plenty to lose before I go.

Big[grouphug] for Teresa, there's no distance with computers, we're all here for you.[:X]

Fiona, I hope you're daughters finger feels better.

Anyone I forgotten, sorry, keep it up everyone.

Speak to you all soon,

Julie B

Well done Julie B that's great news. Thanks for the thoughts for YD - badly bruised and v painful - blood test today for her thyroid check - and again swollen on that arm in the vein are anow and uncomfortable. And tomorrow is results day - I am not holding my breath after all the shenanigans just before and during the exams!

ED is also now in a great deal of pain, and tomorrow is hospital appointment with the packing removed from ear and the covering from where the skin graft took place.

So I have to shoot into work tomorrow am, then Reading for noon and Wexham Park for 2.30! Eating on the hoof I feel, looks like fruit & a bottle of water for me.

YD has rediscovered the bread machine - divine rolls yesterday and tonight she has made bagels. Hmmmmmmmmmm - how to get mum to break her diet! Have told her she has to make wholemeal rolls next so I can have 1 for lunch, I insisted we bought wholemeal flour and I am sure they will be even tastier.

Have a good day all, and good luck whoever is being weighed. Those of us with dogs look forward to getting wet - have you seen that weather forecast?!!

Good morning all, just a quick check in before I go off to do some shopping, then back home to walk the dog. DH is teaching sailing today so I have the house to myself so intend catching up on some the jobs that never get done, defrosting the fridge, paperwork and such like.

Fiona, good luck with the results for YD. I have stopped using my bread machine, it is just too tempting although I may have to get it out next week when we have guests.

Julie, well done, it really is good to get into smaller clothes isn't it? I have been taking clothes in and that is a good feeling too.

I was wondering where Paula was, I know she is around as she sent me a birthday message but was missing her on here, perhaps she will now let us know how she is. Probably busy with the girls during the hols.

Food diary for yesterday
Fruit
More fruit
Braised steak, veg and baked potato and fruit

Not expecting great things tonight with the weigh-in as I have eaten and drunk far too much this last week, out for meals five days out of seven, not good for diets despite the fact I tried to be good.

See you tonight Sally.

[Sally D]

Morning all.

I am not expecting great results either, according to my home scales.
Only went off track on Monday lunch time with the meal out the rest of the week I have stuck to it. Don't understand why I only have to have one thing bad I put on. Have been down on my sins all week to try and make up, like yesterday I only had 4 sins. Peter has also gone through everything with me and he also can't understand it[msnsad]

Will not have a good week next week either. Saturday it's my boss's 50th and she is having a party with a hog roast, will make sure I have a red day then. On Sunday we are leaving early morning to drive to my sisters in Tadcaster, North Yorkshire. She has already told me she has booked a table for dinner on Sunday. We are staying until Tuesday and I am so looking forward to seeing her, haven't seen her since October when we went to Florida together. On Tuesday we are then driving over to Preston Lancs to see Peters Mum and stepdad, looking forward to that also. Coming back home on Wednesday evening.

Getting a bit behind with things on here but well done to all who stayed the same or lost.

Julie you look great in the photos.

See you later Jill.

[mizzy]

good luck Sally and don't worry we all have bad weeks[grouphug]

can i ask have you reduced everything drastically since mondays meal because i know this sounds odd but you have to eat properly to lose weight and really you should never drop below 5 syns, the odd day yes but not on a regular basis, anyway good luck it may not be as you think
also ask your consultant about flexible syns, it may give you some help over the weekend

good luck for you too Jill, i'm sure you'll support each other no matter how you've got on[msnsmile]

Fiona , home made bread mmmmmmmmm!

Mizzy

ps no Orladobabe for a while, hope you're ok too Alison

[jackie greaves]

Morning all.
Just got back from walking my dog and checking on my horse. Will not have time to ride her today as going to the hairdressers and then food shopping. Must remember to buy lots of soft food as still not able to chew my food.[msnsad] Hope I feel better soon as off to Florida in 8 days and looking forward to all that juicy steak[msntongue]
Good luck with the weigh ins tonight girls.[clap]

[julieanne]

Thanks for posting holiday photos Julie and Mizzy. You are both looking good [clap]

Jackie - sorry to read that you are still on soft food [msnsad]

Sally - enjoy your weekend and the food [msntongue]

Fiona - you always sound so busy, your postings wear me out [msnwink] [msnwink] Make sure you find time to eat...

[fiona]

Evening all, horrible, horrible day tearing round in the rain in the morning and boiling hot in the afternoon.

YD - as expected complete disaster, suffice to say re-starting the year, and if she doesn't pull her socks up she might just as well go and get a job and stop wasting everyone's time.

ED - they are pleased with the recovery from the op and we have to go back in 2 weeks time.

Just cooking a quick bolognese sauce and then out with the hounds.

Sorry peeps just remembered this is not private just between us slimming lot.
