Hi ladies.... well I weighed in this am and have lost a whooping 11 & 1/2 lbs... yee haaa.... although I'm slightly jealous of your whooping 13 Ellen.... but I'll catch ya next week..... tee hee...

Well I've had yet another sleepy day.... nothing unusual for me, think its carrying all this blubber around for 15 years... can't help.

Well my 1st shake today was Winter spiced orange (I only bought 1 to try as I was very dubious) and I have to say after the extremely spicey smell I was pleasantly surprised... it was actually refreshingly orange. My second meal of the day was the leek and potato soup..... big big mistake... it has been repeating on me all night, the 1st couple of spoons I thought ummm lovely, then with the 3rd came this really odd flavour.. but I had to sup up to the bottom as I was soooooo damn hungry!!! And as for the porridge, mmmm couldn't say I loved it but it was great to actually eat something and the creamy warm texture was very comforting, I will be eating more just for that feeling!! Has anybody else tried it? What did you think?

I know what you mean Nibbles about the "nibbles", my little boy loves those yoghurt coated raisins and everytime I open the fridge they're just jumping at me saying "eat me, eat me", luckily my brain clicks in before my hand reaches them. The other problem I have Leon loves to try and feed me... he was eating grapes yesterday and decided he wanted to bite each one in half, eat one half then feed mummy the other.... I felt soooo mean spitting them back out.... He looked at me as if to say "but mummy, I'm sharing"!!!!!

Anyway... enough dribble for now, now off to sample the delights of choc orange I think!!

WELL DONE JULES!!!!!!! You are gonna be beating me if I am not careful!!!
Hi Guys, so sorry I havent been on tonight or much today - ***** day at work and didnt even get time to eat a shake or soup!Came home STARVING but had organised a Pampered Chef party (pre CD!) and got home to find people on my doorstep waiting!! When I say come at 7.30 I dont mean 5.45!!!

Anyway had a really good social nt and drank water and didnt even nibble anything - but have just wolfed down a shake!

Feeling positive for the week ahead although my CDC cant see me on Thurs next wk and wants to see me TUESDAY! I hope I can have a good loss? Think I will weigh in on Thursday anyway as normal and record that loss as it will be a full wk.

Hi JustGemsOfNZ, Smurf & Nibbles WELCOME more the merrier I say we can all spur eachother on as we are all fairly new and we are going through this at the same time and at roughly same starting dates etc.....

One question I do have and this may be TMI do sorry but I have a coil & havent had a period since April (dont normally get them with the mirena anyway) but I have come on and I am shoked cause I heard CD can stop your periods? But then on the other hand I have heard that it can make you more fertile so maybe this is why?! Anyone shed any light???

xx

[Jules77]

Howdee everybody.....

Well Ellen, to be honest wit ya I haven't got a clue... never had a coil and never been on the CD before so I'm rather useless for that one.... I have read posts where people have had AF every 2 weeks on this diet.... God I hope that doesn't happen to me (keeping fingers and everything else crossed)!! Perhaps start a thread, theres bound to be other out there.... sorry, but what a bummer hey!!?

I'm really being think today... but what is a pampered chef party??? I've never heard of it before.... but a big and a pat on the back if it involved lots of food, especially after having nothing all day.... that must have been so hard.... you must be very chuffed with yourself, if you can do that you can do anything. Are your friends supportive, i know mine wouldn't understand and would say oh just have one, it wont hurt.... they just don't understand.... I don't think any of them have every been over 11 stone!!! Don't get me wrong... they're great in all other ways but just don't understand the fat battle that we yo yoers have.

Anyway... sounds like my little man is awake so I'd better go play!!

Keep up the good work..... Jules xx

P.s are we gonna set a target amount to lose by the end of September? We could give ourselves a gold star if we reach it... lol x

Thanks Smurf!

I have told my friend Laura who I work with - she is really cool about it and we Skype eachother at work and she is very encouraging and thinking of doing it too. I have told one other friend who is very supportive and J & both are behind me 1000%

Had a Porridge this morning and YUMMMMYY!!! I loved it! Was really nice to have something warm inside me in this FREEZING weather! The lumps were a bit odd but i really did enjoy it!

Yes I am well up for a September goal!

What do you reckon?! I have 3 more weigh ins to go and I actually go on holiday on October 5th for a week so I would LOVE to have lost 2 stone by then.....do you think thats realisitc? if so that will be my goal!!

How is your day going? I am gonna have lunch in a min (Chicken & Mushroom soup) really looking forward to it.
At work but it is dead so not much to do....

[Jules77]

Thanks Smurf.... its gives you a real boost when you can see those scales dropping... it really makes it worth while. What days your weigh day?

Ellen, I'm glad you liked the porridge, my favorite so far has to be the cappachino... its really sweet, gonna try it with some crushed ice if I ever get round to making any... think it will be just like a proper frappé then. I'm now only trying to decide what to have for my ST shake of the day... think I'll try the strawberry... haven't had that one yet!

ST sounds like a good target... we've made a good start on it already so hopefully it should be achievable... and as they say "aim high"!! I'm really gonna have my willpower challenged at the end of the month... the 27th I have a wedding, then a night in the hotel, the Sunday I have a birthday party and on the Monday we're off on holiday....... just gotta remember.... stick to this and it'll only take a few months..... cheat and I'll be back on the old yo yo, I want to be thin more than I want to eat at the mo.... I don't wanna have to much of a gap between my kids and I'm not gonna be overweight and pregnant again!!! Anyway... rant over.... are you going anywhere exotic on ya hols Ellen?

I actually sat down to do some work... so I suppose I'd better... stay good.

Jules xx

P.s I have an addiction to the dotted thing (...........) can't help it lol!!!

[Ellen S]

Hi Jules

havent tried the Cappucino one yet - I have a choc orange one I might try later though (hot)

We are going to a very glamorous place in October......Derbyshire! We are actually staying in a cottage on a working farm so it should be great - lots of cozy nights in and walks in the countryside - really looking forward to it!

Tonight I am baking Magnolias Vanilla Cupcakes for my friends Babyshower I am throwing tomorrow - should be interesting as I ADORE cake mixture!

Hope you have a good night, will try and post over the wknd.

xx

[Jules77]

Oh you're a glutton for punishment!!! Babyshower??? Thats very American.... obviously I missed a trick when I was preggers... think I'll have to have a word in some ears next time!!!

As for holiday.... yours is far more glamorous than mine... we're off to Haven in Filey.... a sun £9.99 jobby.... couldn't see the sense in spending too much with the little un and they have loads of things going on that he'll love... It'll be our 1st family holiday so well excited.

Anyway... gonna go make a shake now!!

Jules x

[Jules77]

All I have to say today is Cheese and Broccoli soup...... uuuurrrrrrgggg yuck yuck yuck!!!!!
