Thread: 3rd time lucky?

Well look at this....18 months and then some. I fell off the face of the earth. Seems i did it into some pizza.
I won't bore you with the details of why but on the 5th january 2012 i joined WW at the amazing weight of 19st 12.5lb. I had previously joined SW in the june of 2011 at about 19 st 9lb ish i think. Over the course of 2012 i lost over 3 stone but then have gained a lot back since october (went to Canada for a week and stuffed my face!) and i now weigh 17st 8lb so i guess i'm nearly 2 stone lighter then when i abandoned you all!
I can't do ww anymore though. Counting is driving me INSANE so i'm back to good old SW on thursday night. I'm going to have to be naughty though i think and just go once to get the books as i am now poor having moved house etc... in 2012. I'm a clerk at WW so will be able to weigh for free. I feel like i'm having an affair


So i hope you'll accept me back despite me naughtily just vanishing. Life got hard. The ex and his wife now have a shiny new baby too. I have been a mess.




How are you all? Just off to try and catch up with everything xx

Thank you.

Welcome back, my friend did the same for a while doing SW weighing at WW cos she helped out at the group.

Just wanted to say hello and good luck. I've recently just started also, having lost some and gained some and what not. Loving the nail blog too! Do you *********? Some amazing ideas on there.

subscribing! youve done it before so you can do it again
i used to help at a ww meeting... and now im at goal at ww but not at slimming world classes, i didnt even think of using the weight watcher scales... might have to steal that idea off you xx

Hey Little Miss, just having a nosey and subscribing. Glad you have moved on and got you motivation back. I lost 1st 6.5lbs last year and I am back to the exact same weight now so I have drawn a line under it and starting again!!! Good luck and will keep noseying on in at you diary and food diary - will also have a look at the Nail Polish Blog when have a minute!!!

Hi hunni and thank you for commenting on my diary x

Welcome back to SW and to Minis x And you certainly don't need to ask for acceptance! You come here with your head held high Little Miss!!! We've all slipped up...we're all human...and it sounds as if you've had an awful lot to cope with recently. Time to stop looking backwards and start looking forward to an exciting year and a healthier, happier you! Xx

Good luck! Xxx

Totally not weight related but i feel really lonely tonight. Little one is staying at his dads and i've been sitting here all night on my own. No one to call, no one to go and see. Have cried about 3 stupid times. Been on the laptop all night, here, Facebook, MFP.
Just really fed up of being alone and feeling so down about things.
(and yes, i do have a man but he is in Canada, 3000 miles away We talk pretty much everyday but it's not the same as having him here)

Aww bless ya hunni x I'm so sorry you're having such an awful night. it's horrible when you're used to having lots going on and then suddenly you find yourself alone I spent many nights on my own after I left my ex husband and you really have my sympathy x

It will get better. It takes time but you'll get there. And in years to come you'll look back at times like tonight and wonder why you were so sad.

Does your partner live in Canada or is he over there working or visiting? Xx

Slightly strange story that gets strange reactions. We met online. not a dating thing or anything, just plain old chat room, nothing weird! Got talking, then e mailing, then MSN messenger then Skype. After the ex and i split (nothing to do with Mr Canada!) i realised i had feelings for him and vice versa. Talked online for years and last jan we finally organised a trip and i went over for a week on oct last year. We got on like a house on fire.
Going back this year again, in september. It would be more often but we both work, i have a 7 yr old boy and flights are about £700 a time!
People think i'm mad, that i should find a bloke here but i don't want to be with someone because they live near me! So yeah, that's about it. It's odd, i know. But days like today i wish i was back there with him carving pumpkins and watching tv and just being normal like we did that week. One day eh?

Thanks for replying xx

Oh I think that's so romantic! I'm not surprised you'd rather be there than here! And stuff what anyone else says!!!

I first met my husband Gwyn when I was 11 and he was my secondary form tutor. I actually developed a huge crush on him but it was a waste of time as he was very happily married! I left in the 6th form and married my first husband, only to divorce 8 years later. I'd kept in touch with Gwyn once a year with Xmas cards and about 8 years after my divorce, I popped a note in his card asking if he fancied meeting up for a meal and a catch up. So we met and got on very well, and I learned that Gwyns wife had sadly died 3 years earlier, and that like me he had 3 children (although his were all older than me lol!) Anyway we met up again 2 weeks later, and were married a year after that. It's our 9th wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks.
So I'm a sucker for romantic stories! Don't give up on your dreams hunni, even when they seem impossible! Stranger things have happened!

Wow! So you have virtually known him your whole life!? That's so lovely Gives me a bit of faith in the 'meant to be stakes' you know?
Thank you Dawn xx

Yes quite a long time... I'm 46 now and he's 73...although there was a big gap in the middle we still sent Xmas cards!
You just never know what life has in store for you x

Awww, both your stories are lovely As it happens I also met my hubby online (and an ex-boyfriend too!) So I completely understand what you're talking about, it's so nice to meet someone who knows what it's like! Also my starting weight is the same as yours now Two small things, but it's nice to have something in common!
