Hey teamies, havent been posting of late as I am so fed up moaning all the time and I am sure you must all be fed up listening to me moaning. Still not feeling very well. Been back at the docs again and he says my immune system clearly isnt functioning as is should. Have had blood taken and...

Hi teamies - its the miserable whinging old bag here full of misery and germs and fed up being stuck at home! My work, strangely enough, dont want me and my germs in there so am stuck at home. Am actually feeling not too bad today, not been coughing as much and have managed a couple of shakes...

Hi Karen, am here, in spirit anyway! Back at the doc yesterday as still not well - didnt feel 100% really after I had the flu and the last few days I've just felt steadily worse. Turns out I have tonsillitis and bronchitis and my gp has said that he doesnt want me doing cd until my immune...

Morning teamies, hope everyone is well today. I'm just back from doc, havent felt completely back to normal since I had the flu but since i had totm right after it I thought it was just the usual cd totm which is never the best - moan moan moan! Anyway, went to bed early last night feeling...

Totally agree with you FBS - a 4th shake once in a while is so much better than feeling so hungry that you scoff a packet of biscuits. My cdc is great, she totally supports the CD guidelines but is also very sensible in helping her peeps make CD work for them rather than risk people falling off...

Morning all, just a wee quickie before I dash off to a meeting at work. Sharon - OMG - had no idea that your tattooing cost that much - it must be a good job done for that price! Here's me moaning about my weekly spray tan costing me £20 a pop! Weigh in not great this week, 2lbs off, but...

oh yes!! That was like eating liquidised grass - wasnt sad to see that one being discontinued!! lol!!!

Am ok Karen, hows you hun? I'm having a I Hate CD day today - have managed to convince myself that I hate all flavours of shake and soup and I know I dont really, am just having a moan! Hows you?

Morning teamies, hope everyone had a good weekend. I feel kinda strange today as am not having my weigh in until tomorrow this week - honestly dont feel that I have lost anything at all and my scales are wavering between a sts and a 1lb loss so am not really looking forward to my weigh in :(...

Yeah - I dont do it often and my cdc says that as long as you dont have every shake of the day frozen then its fine. Its the same with heating them up, we're not supposed to do that either but i cant resist a hot chocolate shake from time to time :D

Day 33 done and dusted and still feeling grand! It really does get easier with every day that passes. Been a diy queen this evening and done some jobs around the house that have needed done for ages and I couldnt be bothered. So I've put up a towel rail, put up a shelf, resealed my shower...

Chic Mint shake - had my first ever this week and its yummy!!! Leek and Potato soup Strawberry shake forzen choc tetra - deeelish Dont like loads! Chick & Mush, Mush, and Spicy Tom soup - bleurgh peanut, cranberry, malt toffee or caramel bars Fruits of the Forest, banana, toffee and walnut...

Hi Funky Mum, good to see you back and glad you had a nice break away. 2lbs is nothing chick, that'll be long gone by the time you weigh in on Tuesday. You're gonna have a fab time at the G.P next year Sharon - and just think, you'll be at target and feeling super hot and fit which will make...

Well done hun, I know its hard but once you get into ketosis you'll lose the hunger and start to feel better. You'll still have your cravings but I know you are strong and you want a slim bod rather than toast so stick with it. You still going strong today?

Day 32 - thats a month to the day when I started my cd restart- albeit I cant really count the 2 weeks with the flu but as I didnt cheat during that time I am still counting those days as part of my journey - even if I am more than a little bit p'd off that I ended up ill so soon into my restart...

WayHay, thats amazing Sharon - well done you!!! :clap::happy036::happy096: Your achievement is absolutely fantastic and to be able to say that you are now more than half way through your journey must be just the best feeling ever.

Morning all, hope everyone is doing well. How long you got to go with ramadan now tahira? Just a quickie from me, am alone in the office so going to make the most of the peace before everyone else comes in and the noise starts!

Yay!! Well done Pinky - just keep going with that positivity now and you'll later on be posting that you've had 2 100% days in a row, then 3, then ketosis :D

No! :cry: Haha - had hoped I might have lost a bit but not a single wee miniscule bit of a pound, but on the plus side at least its not gone up! Spoke to my cdc on the phone on Sunday and she said it may take my body a week or two to get back into the swing of things after being ill and not...

Not at all Karen - more than happy to have an email chat with your sis. I'll PM you my email address.

Hey Karen, hows things with you chick? Just been catching up with your diary now that i'm back in the land of the living! Well done on the losses you little star!! Really sorry to hear about your brother in law huni. My mum has MS, she was diagnosed when she was 35 and has one of the most...

Hi Tess, welcome to the forum, and welcome to the wonderful world of CD!! I've tried every diet under the sun and CD is the only one that works for me and satisfies my desire to lose huge amounts of weight in a short space of time. Stick with it chick, the key is not to let the blips spoil a...

Good Morning All hope everyone is well and raring to go for a 100% cd day?? Managed 3 shakes yesterday - yippee - and about 3 litres of water so am confident that I am back in the game. Well guys just had my weigh in and glad to report a 4lb loss this week :D. This take me to losing a stone...

Still not caught up on all the posts i've missed but am back in the land of the living (almost!) today and contemplating a vanilla shake. Water glugging going well so far. Hope everyone is well and I'll try and catch up with the posts later. Dx

Day 29 (had to go count on the calendar there cos I had lost track completely!) and after being ill with the flu for the best part of 2 weeks I am finally starting to feel better and can once again face my shakes - I think! Have had loads of water today so far which is a huge difference to the...

Am back - still feel a bit bleugh and not fully over the flu to be honest but am back at work today and taking it easy. Didnt go off CD while I was ill, however, I didnt drink nearly enough water (zero water is never enough!!) and averaged about 1 shake every other day - would have expected...

Hi guys, am really sorry I've not been around - I've got the flu and am absolutely floored - didnt weigh in this week as I literally cannot move from the house - think I've pretty much stayed the same though. Just popped in to say I'm still here and not bowing out or giving up, am hoping that...

No, it doesnt sound mean, but I know what you mean - I felt the same saying that we should give her place to someone else - buts its not mean, at least not deliberately so. We are a team and we all need to be here to support each other and if circumstances are such that Fallen cant be around...

Hmm, not sure what to do FM - if she's not replying to your message there's not much you can do really - what does everyone else suggest we do? Team decision required maybe?

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: not great Karen - feeling pretty crap to be honest - have just moaned to myself on my diary!! :wave_cry: cant face CD, feel really sick and havent eaten anything for 2 days now - no idea whats up with me but i'm just feeling bleugh! Gonna phone my cdc for...

Thanks guys, was really chuffed and still am but am feeling absolutely awful just now - I feel sick all the time and cant face my CD "meals" at all - havent had any (or anything else for that matter!) for 2 days now and just cannot stomach a shake or a soup - am a bit worried cos am gonna get...

How long is it since you last heard from Fallen? Not sure how long to give her - I'd say maybe couple of weeks from when you last heard from her then offer place to PinkyJay - no offence meant to Fallen at all but seems a shame to not fill a place when someone is really keen to join our wee team.

Very quick day 15 diary entry - have struggled big time today - havent wanted to drink water, shakes have given me the boak (sorry for choice of words!!) and i've felt like preverbial brown stuff! However - my week 2 weigh in was a shocker - 10lbs off! Cant believe it - 23lbs in 2 weeks - am...

Hi teamies - just a wee quickie from me - trying to do a gazillion things all at the same time here - as usual!! Week 2 weigh in today and I lost 10lbs - am absolutely gobsmacked to say the least - bit not complaining!!! :D Hope you are all well. dx

You back in line now missus after your BBQ? You had planned that one so as long as you enjoyed yourself and got right back to basics again the next day you shouldnt beat yourself up. Well done for getting through your night shift too - am impressed!

Well so much for a daily diary to keep me on track, 2 weeks in and i'm already failing on the diary front! So, here I am at day 14 now and despite thinking about food quite a lot - possibly cos I havent had so much of a lick of it in 2 weeks - i have been absolutely 100% for 14 days - wow...

Well done chick - your losses are fabby!!

Have been the same FM, have had a headache every day this week, seems to just build and build all day but if i need to suffer a headache in the name of weight loss then so be it :D

well done Fisherman - your losses are fab!!!

Haha, that made me laugh great things. I sometimes think the lumps are a bonus - something to chew on!!

PinkyJ - am I gonna have to come kick your butt?????? Just think bikini body!! Come on chick, you know you can do it and you know how great it feels to get a day out of the way 100% - that feeling of self satisfaction. You want slimness more than you want a wee nibble here and there...

Aww bless him Pinky, what a wee star. My 14 year old is great too, really supportive but tells me i dont need to lose weight cos he loves me as i am :cry: Have assured him he'll love me even more when I'm slim cos i'll be a happier, more fun mum!! :D Yes, we are going to do this, and we are...

Lost track of my days a bit (quick count on fingers!) - am on day 10! OMG, day 10 already! All still going well, not tempted by food at all, have cooked for my son a few times now and havent even licked a spoon! Cut up garlic bread for him last night and had garlic butter on my fingers - I...

Thanks PinkyJ, weigh in day is Monday and for the first time in a loooooong time I had a wee spring in my step and no Monday morning blues! How you doing this week?

Hello teamies!!! Apols for trickling in at the arse end of everyone else! Well, I'm Deb, am 38 and live in Stirling so not too far from you tahira. I've never been a skinny mini but only really had a big weight problem since my ex-h and i split 12 years ago. I have a 14 year old son...

Thanks chick, sadly i think it will be another stone or 2 before i notice a difference in my clothes but I'm sleeping better, feel more energetic and most importantly feel inspired to keep going. Anyhoo, enough about me! How are you? You back on track yet?

Pinky thats fantastic, 6.5lbs even when you werent 100% is brilliant and should motivate you to stick with it 100% now. Come on girl, you can do it :grouphugg: You going away anywhere on holiday or just some time off work? I'm off from Friday for 2 weeks and am actually glad am not going...

Nooooooo, dont do it Karen, I know you wont but I'm just making sure ;) Just think of the chisp when they go cold, all conjealed and greasy - bleugh!! A nice ide cold shake would be so much nicer. Good luck with WI tomorrow - not that you'll need it chick, you'll be grand. Let me know how...

Week one done and dusted and am on Day 8 - cant quite believe I've managed it with no blips, no tantrums over the elimination of food from my daily routine and no real problems. This is my most successful restart to date - I have never managed to get to Day 8 and I am just going to keep going...

Doing great thanks Karen, week one out the way already - god it flew by! How you doing this week? Whens your weigh in day?

Thanks everyone - I feel fanbloomintastic today! I know it wont be that much every week but thats a great dent in my overall weight to lose so am well chuffed!! Cant stop smiling - thinking of changing my name to cheshire cat!!!

Thanks hun. Doing Cambridge soul source and luvin it!! What you doing?

....and I lost 13lbs :eek: !!!! Am so chuffed - just wanted to share my joy.:D Looking forward to week 2 now!!

Haha - me neither - go for it Funky Mum :D

Yay, thanks guys, am so happy to be part of a team again. Love the name - I'm a mum and a big'n at that so its fitting for me!!!

Hey Pinky - dont beat yourself up, this diet is so hard and even getting through an hour is an achievement, a full day is amazing! We're all overweight because of our love for food and its very hard to turn our back on that love affair we've had with food. I try to keep focused by reminding...

Hi - room for one more not so little one???

Yay - well done - you know what day one leads to?? Day 2, then day 3, etc etc - come on chick you can do it!! Oooo, would love to join your team - was in a team when i did CD in 2008/09 and it was such a great help - will go check out the main forum and find you!!

Hey PinkyJay - am gonna go read your diary now, but you're right, tomorrow is another day and thats the right attitude to have - dont write off the whole diet cos of a bad day. i am the worlds worst for that and every time I do it I swear I wont do it again but then I go and do the same thing...

How you feeling Kazski? you managed to get your head back into the game yet? stay positive - you will do it - we both will :D

Hey Susie, dont hang your head - there's no shame at all! Did you manage to get restarted yet?

Well, here I am at Day 7 - and pleased to say am still going strong - cant actually wait to step on the scales tomorrow and change my stats to show a loss - and fingers crossed its a good one!! I thought the weekend was going to be tough without work to distract me from food so I had planned...

Good luck for today Susie T - what are we like with these restarts, eh!! I've had a few over the last 2 years but its beenhalf hearted and probably wouldnt even count as a restart - day 1 done, that'll do, where's the crisps!!! Not this time thought - come on chick, we can do it!!! Was only...

Day 4 nearly over and despite feeling iffy all day, lightheaded and a bit sick, I am feeling good tonight. Am totally cream crackered though - came in from work and cut the grass, which really needed a few sheep and cows to have a chew on it before I attacked it with the flymo, and i thought...

Good Luck Jade. I'm on day 4 of my restart but having done CD before (lost nearly 5st in 4 months 2 years ago - then put it all back on - my fault - not CD's) I know it works. Its not easy but if you're struggling just come on here for a chat and a bit of distraction.

Good luck Dean - you can do it! I'm on day 4 of my restart - its scarey, but we've done it before and will do it again!

Haha, luv it!!!! No, thats generally not acceptable in public places - sadly :p

Day 4 Am really chuffed that I have managed 3 full days on CD and am not even tempted by the dreaded F word! Once I get past the weekend I think I'll feel even better and once that first weigh in is out the way on Monday I will be so totally chuffed to have done a whole week! Water is...

Feeling ok today thanks Karen, cant change the past, can only shape the future and am hoping my future shape aint the same one i have just now!!! I think the whole food / comfort issue is common for most people with weight problems - its a vicious circle - eat for comfort, feel fat and...

Well am almost at the end of Day 3 - am in ketosis :D and am feeling really positive about CD and the coming weeks and months as I count down the pounds. Got a bit fed up of still water today so went and bought some sparkling on the way home from work and with some ice in it i can almost...

Hi Karen, I posted my diary on the CD weight loss diaries thread - kinda got myself in a tizz about it now cos i just flung down everything i was thinking and am now not so sure i should have been so "sharing". I cannot wait to be back to 16's - muffin top hanging over or not - lol!! The...

Have decided to start a diary, something to hopefully keep me motivated when I'm maybe not feeling so strong - think it will be good to be able to look back at my more positive days and remind myself why I am doing this and how important it is to keep going. Feel free to read, comment, advise or...

Totally agree Karen, I weighed myself every day when I did this the last time and my CDC encouragesd me to - as you say its the one thing that really spurs you on to keep going. Had decided to try not to this time, just for a wee change, but i couldnt resist this morning and that'll be me back...

Hey Karen, am feeling good so far thanks. 2 days done and onto the 3rd, although day 4 and 5 are my sticky ones - gonna try not to think about that though and just plough through - wee sneaky step on the scales this morning and 8lbs off :eek: in 2 days so am well chuffed!! :D Hows you?

Haha, drink more water is the answer to everything on CD!! Makes me laugh cos the last thing you really want is more water - I've had 3 litres today and have pee'd non-stop - am like a water balloon - any more and I think I'd burst!! However, have had no inclination to eat food and have made...

Thanks Karen - well done on reaching Day 21 and well done on your losses so far - reminds me of why I'm doing this - great losses with little effort - other than the effort of resisting, of course!! Ok, rephrase that, great losses with massive effort!!!

Hi All, not sure if there is anyone still on here who will remember me from days gone by - I have just logged on and decided to commit myself to this before I even have a look about to catch up with whats been going on. So, here I am - restarting after a year or more off Cambridge (Big...

hey sistas no news yet on mum, i went into the hospital yesterday and she never woke the whole time I was there - nurse said she's not really regained consciousness since she went in and they still have no idea whats happening. my poor dad is totally shattered, he was there until 5am on...

morning sistas, am a bit distracted today, just had my dad on the phone, my mum was rushed into hospital last night, she's got some sort of virus that has infected her bloodstream and she's completely out of it. He's really worried cos all the doctor is saying at the moment is that she's very...

well whaddayawannaknow? we went out, had a drink, talked, probably gonna see him again - i know that sounds really dull but it wasn't, it was actually very nice.

morning all, monay old wench here, checking in for my monday morning moan! ok, time to fess up - been a naughty girl and have not even remotely ss'd this week so my 4 weeks of ss'ing starts today - i know i keep saying that but i really have to do this or i'm gonna be all fat again! penny -...

Do you think I should bring the Andy/Looby saga up as conversation topic tonight? I havent been on a date for a while - would that be considered good or bad dating ettiquette???? Dxx PS - Am kidding - honest, I really am!!! PPS - I know that Andy Pandy is a good date conversation topic...

Well, yeah, thats the basics of it, I think Andy P may very well have been interefering with Looby Lou in the picnic basket after hours and I cant find anything on the internet to tell me yay or nay on the sister/brother front - am actually quite disturbed by it!!! This could open up a whole...

morning all Julie's suggestions sounds like a plan rather than going off cd altogether Sharon - i think you'll struggle to get back on it if you do that and i know we're all struggling as it is and probably dont need any additional excuses to come off totally - I dont mean to have a go and and...

Oh Julie, you do make me laugh - even when I shouldn't!! Dress fitting was a nightmare last night - felt miserable when i came out as i just looked lumpy bumpy in my dress - although, it has given me the motivation I need to really go for it on SS - have got 8 weeks before we have another...

morning all, wow you were early Penny - its usually Julie with the early morning ones! Sorry to hear you're beating yourself up again luvvy, but as you say, whats done is done - you have come such a long way and you should be celebrating that rather than giving yourself a hard time because...

omg, what a bunch! Julie, loves to Andy, hope the wee treasure is better soon and he's home doing your head in again before you know it. Am on the same though train at the moment, I dont know if I have the willpower, or the cash!, to keep mucking about on cd, am going to really push myself...

morning - still feeling crap - stomach in an uproar, doesnt know what to do with itself - cd out the window totally! had 2 nose bleeds at the weekend, a migraine trying to surface yesterday but managed to avoid the full on affect by getting the tablets down me before it got hold, still totm and...

morning all, still a miserable moany wench, still got this bug and its now working its way down and out rather than up and out - the joys! had toast last night - naughty , I know, but it was the only thing I could face - it didnt hang about for long though so was a bit of a waste of chewing...

morning girls, am feeling crap :boohoo:, really bad totm and got a bug so am puking :sign0137:rings round myself (graphic!!), cant stomach cd so havent eaten for 2 days which is not good, feel bloated and empty at the same time - hows that! - so am not hanging about, just wanted to say hi and...

thanks for that Julie - makes me feel better to know that i'm not the only person who has felt like this. its weird coz i'm not jealous, am just p'd off that he's moved on - how dare he!!!! doesnt really make sense and i know that when friday is past i wont care one way of the other but at the...

thank you Penny, yes, i would like you to speak to my boss and tell him this is just not on - i'm not here to work, i'm here to make friends and play! Julie, thank you for your words of encouragement, i did think after my atom bomb stylee poop in the middle of the night Friday that I surely...

morning all, just popping on quickly, hectic busy again today - am not happy - do they think i come in here to work or something!!! bit pi**ed off today - have done ss 100% for a whole week and have stayed the same - whats that all about???? i'm not giving in though - i'm sure it will start...

hello, busy busy day at work, no trips to Tesco for me - might go when I finish!!! won 3 prizes in a raffle in the office today for british heart foundation - a massive bar of cholocate shaped like a heart - a barbie chocolate lolly shaped like a heart and a love hearts sherbet dippy thing...

sorry julie, meant to say well done on being too slim for evans - you skinny mini!!! dx

Hey Julie, wondered where you were this morning! No bloke would dare poke me in the back with anything at the moment, I'd have his kit off and be ravishing him before he could protest!!! Might try backing into someone's french stick in Tesco! Oh, thats sounds a bit rude! I'll need to...

Penny - whats that about not being able to freeze tetras? My cdc hasnt said anything about that. I have 4 a day too with being taller and generally either cook a bar or freeze a tetra or sometimes both - I know it nukes the goodies in it but wont have an effect on weight loss will it?

Morning all, i'm a positive wee ray of sunshine today - am totally buzzed at my 100%ness and am feeling better than I have done in weeks! am sorry to say that my stubborn old bowels have given up on me again so there will be some 2009 no poop talk going on - what did i do last time? oh yeah, i...

hi lydia if you've just started this week your body will be adjusting so the sicky feeling is totally normal, once you get into ketosis and your body adjusts to being on cd the sicky feelings and any other side effects will go. But as the others have said, drink plenty water - the answer for...

bad luck efk - hope your abscess clears up soon. am sure its not related to eating so am sure you'll be fine when you move up to 810. get well soon. dx

:cry:where are all my sisters? are you out having lives? miss you all, am lonely :wave_cry:

Good morning one and all - half way through the week - thank feck!!! I know its not much of an achievement but I now have 2 full days out the way 100% ss and am feeling really positive, all stocked up on my cd goodies for the next 2 weeks so no excuses just lots of (hopefully) lovely weight...

Never thought of that Serena - Julie could have abducted Penny today and locked her in the cult hq - damn - will get her next time!!!

Not gonna lecture you Sharon - been there too many times myself but you've done the right thing - you've stopped before you let the food demons get hold good and proper! Just a quickie from me - am sitting down to a nice cuppa and......wait for it......66 little malt toffee biccys!!! Yum yum...

Sounds like a productive shopping trip then Sharon - am glad you treated yourself - and thats a fab idea getting a charm for every half stone you lose!! I'm a handbag addict so maybe I'll treat myself to a new handbag every half stone...... Biccys - cut your bar in half long ways and then...

I did it - a whole day on SS - absolutely 100% - not even tempted to pick - and I feel fanbloodytastic for it! 4 pee's during the night but I dont care!!! Am on target for another STS but I am now feeling much more confident that I can do this so I'm not going to give myself a hard time about...

Oh ok Penny you can phone home then but the rest of the rules stand i'm afraid!! Haha - if I wasnt such a tight arse i'd pay someone to do my ironing - hate it hate it!! You are so organised Penny, I havent made biccies with my bars for ages so I'm going to do that tonight after my soup...

Well done Penny, you ickle star that you are - I knew you'd get back in the under 200lb club!!! Now, just to let you know that since you were last here, the membership rules have changed a bit. Its now not a club, but a cult and now that we have you in the door, the door is locked and bolted...

Ah darling Julie, can always rely on you to brighten up an otherwise dull Monday morning - that made me laugh so much, it was like something out of a carry on film. Dull weekend for me, filled with chores - washing, ironing, cleaning, tidying - lots of dullness and boringness - god I wish...

Nah, no posh ladies day for me today Julie. No burping as yet which is fine, regurgitated water is all i'd be tasting and thats bad enough going down! Dont know about ray of sunshine - am feeling a bit non sunshiney today cos someone made my cry :cry:at 8am - hmmmm, wonder who that might have...

Sharon - you would not want to know what thoughts go through my twisted little noggin on a daily basis - my biggest problem is that I feel the need to blurt them out and scare people! I'm not completely insane - honest (haha - an insane person would say that though, eh?!) but I am a bit random...

double take time - is that 14 times a day you have to take your antibiotics Julie??? thats a mighty big pee defect you have there huni!!!! seriously though, its not something i've ever had so can only begin to imagine how you're feeling - my mate gets them regularly and likens it to peeing...

feeling very sensible today - all the loopy juice must be down Julie's neck of the woods today!! Love all my amazing sisters and wish you all a happy healthy cd day. dx ps - i think i did grow that new pile - my arse hurts like hell!!!! pps - How could i forget - RIP Soola's trusty...

well done on the losses Penny - go girl! i'm back on track today - yet again -gave myself such a hard time yesterday for my crunchie failure - didnt sleep well last night for deliberating over it and trying to work out why i did it, etc, came to the conclusion that I'm just a big fat greedy moo...

Arse, Balls, Feck, etc etc!!! I just ate a crunchie - didnt even realise i was doing it - went to the fridge for water and came out muching a crunchie - am hanging my head in shame - but am also hoping i burp soon and can taste it again - it was amazing! we get punished for the things we do...

Soola - am so glad i have a sore arse piles pal!!!! me and my germaloids are close personal friends since i too discovered a farmer giles - d'ya think pete would have a look at mine too since i dont have a hubby anymore?? My ex was a bit of a perv, if i'd parted my cheeks to him he'd have...

Haha Julie, yeah I most certainly do have a red ring!!! A red raw, on fire ring - ouch!!! sorry for my crudeness!!!! Right, defi away back to work now, have posted enough today, you'll all be telling me to get back on the loo and give you peace!!!! Mwah xx

Hey Sharon, good to meet you too honey, please ignore my rants, I am sane - honest - dont believe what Julie says!!! Haha!!! Its funny how our tastes change so much on cd, i liked nearly all the flavours, bars, etc at the start and now I live on original porridge, choc tetras, toffee bars and...

Phew, you lot cannae half blether! My heids buzzin noo! Serena, your pics on your sig are faberootastic huni, you look amazing! *****! Lol, only kidding, you do look totally fab and I am sooper jealous cos I is a big fat moany old wench with only herself to blame for falling off the wagon...

Love it Serena!!! I shall henceforth (ooooh, big word alert!!!) be known as Wenchy Spice - or Moany Spice - I'll accept either!!! Must practice my dance routines, am not too worried about the fact that I cant sing as the original line up couldnt either!!! :8855: Off to read the rest of the...

Hey Julie, been ill all weekend and was off work yesterday - had some yucky sicky scooty bug that had me all confused and dizzy - didnt know which end to point at the loo! Am all better now though and gonna try not to moan today!!! LOL!!!! Feel that the weekend being ill has knocked me off...

Hi Sharon - I'm Debs aka moany wench! I'm 37 but only feel about 12 in my head, live in Scotland with my trainee teenager Conor who will be 13 in May. Been divorced for about 6 years - Conor's dad was an arse!! Been on Cambridge since Oct last year and was going great guns until some nasty...

Julie was 13.4.......lost 4.....now 13.0 .. Debs was 13.12.....lost 0.....now 13.12 :cry: hopefully thats me posting my last sts as i am determined to have a loss next week, albeit its not looking like a big one! I was so sure i'd be in keto this morning that i leapt out of bed, raced to the...

Penny - step away from the cherry cookies!!!! Put them down slowly and back away from the kitchen! Or alternatively, jump in the car and bring them to me, I'll "hide" them from you!!! Hey Shazza, I'm on day 3 of 100% ss too and i feel great! Am seriously tired today though but feeling very...

morning sistas, am feeling much less moany wench today, totm lasted a whole 24 hours which probably means that the sneaky little f***er is probably gonna creep up on me when i least expect it and pay another surprise visit but its gone for now so am smiling - and - weighed myself this morning...

hey - moany old wench here - checking in to say how much of a moan i am - again! you did make me laugh there penny but i am still a moany old wench today! i think its my new thing - number two's last year, moaning this year! nope, promise i will stop moaning when i get my car back!! its now...

hi all, am feeling crap today so am not going to hang about and moan, just wanted to say hi, am still here, didnt drink myself into a coma over the weekend, just cried a lot instead - feeling very low for some reason. still havent got my car back, still not sleeping and still moaning even...

I know Julie, you are totally right, I will care when i get on the scales and am a big fat bloater again! Am going to reign myself in and restart tomorrow - hopefully - am just so p'd off about things just now, cant seem to catch a break at all. Never mind, onwards and upwards - and hopefully...

Well done Sister Serena, you truly are a star, and a healthy star at that!!! Have read all the posts from yesterday and want to cry too but am at my work so i am trying hard not to! I have spent so much of my life feeling completely alone with my weight issues and to finally see that there...

Morning all, hope everyone is well today. Good luck with the weigh in today Julie, am sure you'll be fine. Have a great cd day everyone, not feeling hopeful for myself but am gonna try my hardest! dx

just a quickie from me too - sending huge bundles of huggles to you Serena, :hug99: Jules, sorry to see you leave us but pop in and say hi when you're passing through. Pen, you are not the fattest sista you loopy woman, you are star sista - look at your overall loss - you're a sooooooper...

Aww Pen huny, i hate to think of you being self destructive but I can sympathise completely my luvvy, its all too familiar to me too, hence the reason i reached 18 1/2 stone without even realising it! Am so glad to have you back in the under 200 club and you are not getting out again, lifetime...

Julie, thanks for putting Andy on - further details: car is a Vauxhall Tigra, registered May 2005 so out of warranty now - damn! It just completely lost power on the motorway on Fri night and was misfiring but the engine was still running - albeit like a kangaroo!!! Garage phoned me with an...

bloody garages, wish they'd speak english!!! do i know what a cylinder head is? NO! do i know why they have to remove it? NO! am i getting my car back anytime soon? Not friggin likely! Julie, can you ask Andy what it all means and fill me in please honey? Apparently the camshaft has...

Hey Sarah I've been on CD since October last year and have lost about 4 1/2 stone so far. Its tough going but the losses are fantastic if you follow it to the letter so its well worth the doing. You have 3 servings a day (4 if you're a man or over 5'8) and an average weely cost is about...

morning sisters, how's everyone doing today? Vicki, dont worry at all about picking huni, i've been the same since new year and really struggled to get motivated again. a stay the same on the scales on monday was exactly what i needed to shock my ass into gear and i've been a 100% ss saint...

There are definitely some benefits to being tall Julie, not sure how you'd manage to stretch yourself though - hang from a tree maybe? lie down under a steam roller? - not sure but i think that one would hurt a wee bit!! Bit, being tall has its down sides too. I'd like tips on how to be a...

Jules, hope you're not coming down with that cold huni, bad enough when the kids have it but ten times worse when we end up with our kids germs too! Well done with day 2 100% - thats us on day 3 now!!! I'm feeling really positive about it too now, its amazing what a couple of really good...

Oh Julie you truly are nuts! Volunteering to work in a nursery, you saint!! I remember Conor's nursery had a day trip out thingy and they asked the parents to come along to help out if they could - my reply being that I couldnt go as I dont really like kids all that much! You can imagine how...

Mornin' Sistas!! I did a full day 100% yesterday, no picking, no temptation, just cd all the way and I feel fab for it!!! Oh crap, here I go again, me me me me me!!!! Soola, you're a nutter, festering bed sores and a 60 stone woman - never!! Just a quickie from me, for a change, am off...

Aww Serena, you look so amazing chic, you're another one who's just transformed. My lovely amazing fabulous sisters, am so proud of all of you, and inspired, and strangely emotional. Going to the loo for a cry now!!!! xxx

Penny & Serena - where's your piccies??? Pair of skinny minnies like you should be showing off how well you've both done!!! Serena - am off to check out yours now!! Have peeked at yours before but am gonna nose again. xxx

OMG!!!!!! would never have believed that's the same person Julie, you have done so well babes, what a transformation!!!! And what an inspiration to others, you must be so proud of yourself huni, you've done amazingly well. xxx

Thanks Julie, I appreciate your words of wisdom, I think sometimes thats all we need - a wee word from someone who totally gets it - to just remind us that we're only human and we all have rough patches! I'm going to have a nosey at your pics now... Thanks again luvvy. xxx

Good Morning Am really sleepy and crappy today so am just popping in to say hello. All my picking and half hearted approach to cd this month has finally caught up with me and I stayed the same this week - first time ever and it has so definitely been just what i needed but my god has it...

Choccy? Did someone mention choccy? Where? I want it now!!!! However, i'll settle for my lovely choccy tetra instead!!! Serena, you make me laugh! Not sure I'd turn for the sake of my bingo wing removal, but then again, maybe I shouldnt rule it out either!! Will let you know how my...

Ello Fab losses everyone this week - Julie you star, 6lbs off eh!, you've motivated me to stop picking! Serena - check miss 25.something bmi!!!! Well done you. Penny, hope you managed to switch your head off and get some sleep luvvy. Soola, if I dont stop arsing about with cd this month...

Hello all I'm working from home again today - just having a cheeky wee tea break just now and i do like to spend my tea break with my luvverli sistas - even though you are all off somewhere having a life. Julie, I bet you're out offering first aid to strangers - have this vision of you as...

Hello, just popping on to say hello - lordy I sound almost like a Lionel Richie song!!! Went in to work today and was back home by 11am - strip lights are not good!!! Have worked at home though and am doing the same tomorrow just until i'm sure this nasty migraine pain in the ass (well, pain...

Wooops, sorry, meant to say welcome aboard Vicki, nice to have you with us. Dx

Good Morning Sistas, sorry not been on since Friday morning, had my half day and watched crap tv which was fab, had a hectic weekend ferrying Conor here there and everwhere then woke up yesterday with the start of a migraine! Not had one for a while so it was pretty yucky but i caught it...

Morning sistas, am popping on to say hello but other than that I have nothing much to say! Am feeling a bit flat today (wish my stomach was as flat as I feel!) so have decided to take a half day and go home at lunchtime for some me time which will consist of lying on the sofa watching crap on...

serena 10.7...loss 3...10.4 debs 14.7...loss 4....14.3 Morning sistas Jules - am so sorry to hear your news - are they giving you notice so that you at least have time to try and find something else? Penny I'm never leaving the under 200 gang - no way, no how! I'm in it for keepsies now...

Oooo, a race you say? I'll take that challenge - like the dairy milk prize idea better than the knickers though - or is that completely the wrong attitude and just amplifying my unhealthy food demons!!! Who cares....on your marks, get set.....go.............. Julie get your hands off those...

Good Morning All, Angie, how fab to have you back with us lady, have missed you and your banter. Not so good that you've been so poorly but hopefully you're on the mend now and surely due a break from illness - you've had more than your fair share!!! As you can see we all - well apart from...

well done on the losses everyone. 4lbs off this week 6.5lbs off in Jan 61lbs off in total

Good Morning lovely ladies, hope everyone is well today. Julie - you heard anything from Soola or Lisa yet? Hope they are both ok. Enjoy your first aid course - am still laughing at the thought of your attempts on your neighbour!! Sorry to hear you're feeling low Penny, anything any of us...

Evenin' sistas! What a bloody day, all work work work, what the hell do they think i'm there for, i ask you!!! Jules, put the crunchies out of your mind, they're gone and you just have to forget about them and not start picking now you're got the taste - you've done so well, dont spoil it...

Morning all, just been catching up in the weekends posts and having a wee chortle or two to myself! Sorry wasnt around at the weekend and am sorry I didnt get my results to you Julie, wasnt sure if we were doing results last week or not or i would have posted them earlier. Had an eye...

I'm all alone :wave_cry: - where are my sisters today? Dx

Morning Sistas!! Jules that is absolutely brilliant that you've got that off in one week - you feeling in control again huni? Laughed until I almost wee'd at the thought of you in one of Leon's nappies - you nutcase!!! I am completely over my cheese and crackers binge on Wed and despite...

Hey Penny, am feeling loads better now, no more whinging from me - have survived on no shakes and have drank 3.5 litres of water so am not even hungry - have peed a lot though!!! WOW - half a stone in 2 days!!! Thats fanbloodytastic you little star!!!! Am tired just reading about running...

Hey Kim - well done you for staying strong. I had a similar day yesterday for some reason - have never been like that on cd before - but I gave in and had crackers and cheese - think it was a combination of a really bad day at work and totm but i am feeling totally positive today and am not...

Fed up being the fat friend! And also fed up having to wear clothes that i can get in my size, rather than the clothes i'd really like to wear. Oh god, now that i've started thinking about this there are a million reasons - unhealthy attitude to food, lack of self esteem, dislike of...

D'ya know I was just thinking thats exactly what I am going to do from now on, make sure I have spare tetras everywhere, particularly at my work, and then I wont have this problem. Have calmed down a bit now and am not quite so in a tizz about it, am not completely sure whether it was a real...

oh Penny, now i am gonna cry you lovely person. you didnt make me sad, i'm annoyed and sad and miserable anyway today and that was made even worse when i realised i'd forgotten my shake. i've sat here trying not to think about it but its going round in my head about the reasons why i forgot it...

Its was a total accident - honestly, have never forgotten it before - very annoyed with myself. Defi not in keto, would probably have been by today but not after my last night splurge on crackers so its gonna be another couple of days before I get there now. I'll be fine not eating all day -...

Hi Penny!!!

Morning all, my my its been a busy wee place this morning! Serena, well done on the loss you little star. Its funny you mention Eldorado as thats exaclty what one of the guys at my work said yesterday too! Steak and banana tetra was lovely - a bit lacking in steaky flavour - funnily enough...

Hi, firstly - well done on the fab weight loss! Not really sure what to say to you but didnt want to pop by without leaving a comment. I think you have to go with what makes you happy and healthy - how tall are you? If you're a healthy bmi and are happy with how you look and feel then stick...

Haha, glad to oblige on the laughter front - am a soap opera just waiting to be discovered :D Had to put a cardy on (how pensioner am I - a cardy!!!) to cover up my redness as folks were looking at me kinda funny - like, where the hell did she get sunburn in January!!!! Oh no wouldnt wanna...

morning laydeeees, how are we all this fine freakin cold day? have you all got snow??? i think scotland is the only place in the world not to have snow just now -no fair - i want snow!!!! Julie, my bum is a wee bit better but am still hobbling a bit and now just look like a total freak as i...

Ahh Penny that doenst sound good - think you need to go lie down!! Are you ss'ing? - could be cd side effects. Like the sound of biggest loser - will have a peek at that methinks! I watched this thing on one of the sky channles in the holidays - it was called Fat March USA and was about this...

Penny - bacon butties? Come on lass, dont do that to me!!! I am now dribbling all over my desk at the thought of a bacon buttie!!! You've done so well so you'll get back into it no bother - have faith in you - I have!! Serena, I didnt even think I had arse muscles!!!! I am now walking...

Oooo Serena, you're a wee star! I'm always losing posts too and did your wee trick of copying before I sent this time and just aswell too cos I lost my post :cry:, but then I didnt really cos I'd copied it :D!! Thankooooooooo. Dx

Morning all, I managed a whole day on cd yesterday - yippee!!!! Feel much more motivated now - not back in keto yet but am sure it wont be long until i'm in the pink again!! Havent been sleeping very well over the holidays and then last night I slept great - despite the 3 trips to the loo at...

4ltrs of water down since 9am, and since 11am I've pee'd 9 times!!!! Have decided that I wont talk about number 2's in 2009, I'm gonna talk wee wee's instead!!!:character00180:

Hi Gem, well done on such a fab weight loss over Xmas!!! And well done to everyone else who lost over xmas and new year. I'm amazed that I lost at all so am perfectly happy with my wee 2.5lbs off! Loss this week 2.5lbs Loss for Jan 2.5lbs Total loss - 56.5lbs

Hey there moany old cow!! Just kidding Julie, you're absolutely right, we do need to all be on here and supporting each other, its the only way we're all going to get to where we want to be with as little stress and struggle as possible! Count me in for 2009, I am in this team 100% and will be...

Hey sistas - remember meeeeeee??? Sorry have been completely AWOL for a week, never seem to find five minutes for a chat when I'm on holiday - have heaps more free time when I'm working - funny that!!! I hope you all had a fabby Christmas and are looking forward to New Year!! Anyway, Conor...

Thanks Lisa - and well done to you too chic!! I actually live and work in Stirling but part of our team is based in Glasgow which is why we're having a meeting through there. I'll be spending my day in St Vincent Street at the Abbey/Resolution (Pearl) building and then probably finish my day...

Morning all, have missed you all the last couple of days. Manchester was alright, conference was a bit dull and the dinner was very hard - everyone having far too much food and drink for my liking!! My bars got all squished in my suitcase so I had flat bars - yum yum!!! Was so glad to get...

Hi Gem, results for this week; 4lbs off 12lbs in December 54lbs in total Hope everyone is having a good week.

Oooo, so many posts to catch up on you bunch of gas bags!!!! Need to go for a lie down now - am cream crackered from all that reading!!!! And...now desperately craving cheese!!! And walnuts!!! Just a quick one from me, up to my eyes in house work and ironing today. Wont be around again for...

Mornin' all - anyone up for a poop chat? Haha, just kidding, no poop talk from me today!!! Welcome Jules, fab to have you and Lisa on board now, think you'll both fit in just fine with our little team of nutters!!! Know exactly how you feel Jules, I am really struggling with my head at the...

Haha, movements all seem to be normal these days Serena, long may it last! Not sure I fancy moving a mountain though :eek: - lol!!!! I've only just heard about the apple and cinnamon porridge but it sounds yummy - will defi be asking my cdc for some of that when I see her next! Love the...

I think it very well could be Julie - aint it just aswell we're all in one team - maybe our team should be called Sisters of Insanity!!! Did you advertise for another member yet?

Guilty as charged - I am no longer obsessed with food, I'm now obsessed with poo, or lack of!!! How sad am I!!

Aww crap - am I supposed to squirt it up my ass Julie - you might have said!!! Haha - nope, it didnt go in my ear - whats that, cant hear you, must have germaloids in my ears!!!! I didnt even notice that Lisa is in Glasgow - thats like half an hour from me in Stirling!! We can travel...

Hey Penny - I see you.......... How you feeling?

Penny - you've been playing with Julie too much, you're having weird ideas too now!!! At least it wasnt me that lowered the tone to poo level this time - makes a change, eh!!!! Oh, just while I'm on the poo subject, couldnt keep off it for too long, my ass is no longer faulty, :D it would...

Hey Lisa, you sure you want to join us? Gets a bit random and mental on here at times - and thats just Julie!!! Sorry Julie, you know I'm only kidding hun, I love your random posts and look forward to my morning read!! Welcome though, good to have you on board chic. Dxx

well that was an interesting read - i appreaciated the point you were making Serena, not really the forum for that sort of discussion - fairly got some fur flying though, eh!!

I had a great time talking to myself yesterday and it was so nice of you all to wait until I'd logged off before you all came on for a chat - its just not on you know!!! Ast - am so sorry you're leaving us huni, I'll miss you, but as the other say please pop in from time to time and visit us...

Hey Blueeyes - I dont add a meal and my cdc has never said I have to so I'm not - am actually quite scared of food at the moment so am hoping that lasts as I'm still trying to battle my unhealthy food demons! For all that the losses on cd are great, the battles we face with such great losses...

Absolutely possible Sylvie - I started cd on the 13th October (8 weeks ago) and have lost 50lbs so if I can do it, anyone can. As Susan says, you'll have to 100% SS, thats what I've done, and it is very hard but so very worth it! Good luck huni.

Just gonna talk to myself now. Hi Debs, hows things with you today? Well Debs, I'm glad you ask, things are really good with me, its been another fab cd day, have had about 3 litres of water already and have pee'd for Scotland but I'm happy! Whats that you said there Debs, you reached what...

:cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry::cry: Where are my sisters??????????? Are you all away somewhere meeting up without me???? Paranoia is setting in!!! xx

Hi Lisa Good luck with the restart, sounds like you are definitely very motivated to do this and what better incentive than your wedding. That size 16 dress is gonna need taken in girl!!! xx

Hey nimi, good luck with the restart. Am not in Leicester but wanted to say hi and wish you all the best anyway. You could walk to Scotland if you fancy it - that'll certainly get you fit! You'll have that 2 stone off in no time, well before your wedding day, and I'm sure you'll look fabby.

Morning all, its sooooo lonely on minimins this morning, none of my fwends are here! Where are you all hiding???? Guess I'm just going to have to go do some work then since I've no-one to talk to on here. Hope everyone is well - have a good cd day. xx

Hi Gem Weight loss this week - 4lbs, 50lbs in total, 8lbs this month so far. Good luck everyone with the weigh ins this week. xx

Hell yeah!!! A pregnancy test would have been soooo much less embarassing than a big tube of germaloids!!!! However, I certainly wouldn't have asked my dad to get me one of those - I had enough of a trauma telling my dad I was pregnant with Conor - despite being married and respectable and...

Julie's in the 13s, Julie's in the 13's - whoop whoop, well done girl!!!! :party0011: Well done to you too Penny, you're nearly at goal you clever girl!!! Got my cream - after hovering like a guilty shoplifter in Tesco until the aisle was clear of people! Nearly bought a pregnancy testv...

Julie - you dirty girl! Imagine letting rip in a clients hoosie - were you not mortified??? As I said, my bot aint quite behaving yet so I'm too scared to bend over in case something a bit more than a puff of air comes out!!! Am trying to be polite - can you tell????:p Good luck with the...

Hey luvvy, I had a similar conversation with Penny the other week and you're not alone, I think we all have struggles with body image and how we look in our heads (or in our magic mirrors that still show us as a size 18!) as opposed to how we actually look to others. You are such a star to be...

Ok, here we go, have stopped sulking now, work is boring, so I'm going for third time lucky here!!! Ast, dont beat yourself up over having eaten, its totally understandable given your current stress levels and a wee blow out is not going to destroy your diet completely. Wish I wasnt so far...

Hi Helga You ok chic? Things happen for a reason and if its not meant to be mum time for you then its not meant to be. Keep on with your diet and you'll feel so much better about being pregnant when it does happen and you'll be a yummy mummy instead of a high risk mummy. I agree with...

Right, thats twice now I've typed a big long post and its disappeared - am highly miffed now so am going away to sulk and will come back later! :mad:

Hi Helga, didnt want to stop by and not leave a post. I've been on cd for 7 weeks and its not affected the reliability of my pill - as far as i know - haha! Have you had a d&v bug or anything over the last 6 weeks that may be the cause of your pill failing? Not sure whether or not to...

Hi vampalicious! I've been on cd for 7 weeks now, just going into my 8th week and my cdc suggsted ss+ with the 200mls skimmed milk but I find anything other than my shakes/soups/porridge just tastes funny these days so I am ss and havent mentioned this to my cdc - not sure its a major problem...

Afternoon sistas! Just tucking into my chocolate velvet tetra and pretending its a chocolate santa so i thought i'd pop on and say hi. Hows everyone today? Not been for my pile cream yet julie, still too embarassed - asked my dad to get it for me and he laughed at me so methinks that was a...

Oh my goodness Ast, I thought it would be January you were moving hun. How stressed must you be! I take it you know where you're moving too and stuff though? You're not going to have to house hunt?

Hi Gem 4lbs off for me this week so that's a total of 4lbs for December and 46lbs in total.

Morning All!! Wishing you all a fabulous cd day. Does everyone have snow today? :26: Ast - thats great about the job - not so good about the short timescsle for having to move. I am hoping though that its the 15th Jan you start and not December? Serena - I feel your pain!!! My insides...

Am gonna swear!!! Just sat and typed a big long post and the damn site crashed and I lost it - maybe just aswell cos I was a right whinging *****!!! Shorter version - have a stomach bug now which has sorted out my no poo problem but has wiped me out totally this weekend. Have only managed 3...

Hi sisters, I'm still here, just feeling kinda crap at the moment with the no poo situation. Its been 8 days now and I am thinking I'm going to have to go down the senokot overdose route again as my stomach is so sore. Have been taking 3 movicol a day since monday and although my stomach gurgles...

Also meant to say Julie that I hope things are ok with Andy and not too serious. I think men are naturally suspicious of anything we do that they either dont understand or arent involved in. I also think its hard for them to see us changing and becoming more confident as we shrink - my ex bf's...

Julie, you always know how to make me smile - you are so totally random and its fab! Giraffes's, adams apples and the possibility of being a man all in one post - you truly random lovely person - you fairly cheer me up in the mornings. Serena, honey, I am so so sorry to hear about your dad, a...

Thanks Penny, I really appreciate all of this. It is a very weird place to be when you start to really lose the weight and see the new you emerging and I always thought it would be the best feeling in the world, never ever imagined it would be such a truly frightening prospect. I too have used...

Hi Penny, that sounds like exactly the thing I would do with a blender but you did make me laugh - sorry. Got some tetras yesterday Julie and had a choccie one last night instead of my soup and it was deeeeelish!!!! Am going to use them for at my work - I only have one shake during the day...

Hi Gem Hope your move went well and you're getting organised. My weight loss this week is -3.5lbs so thats 19.5lbs this month and 42lbs in total.

Am in the same boat with clothes Julie, they're either too big now or still too small - am kind of between sizes at the moment but am also not willing to go and buy clothes that will only fit for a wee while so I'll just have to hang onto my trousers when I walk so they dont fall down! Am...

Hi Julie, I'm good ta, hows you? I really should be working but I've been lurking on here for about 2 hours now - ooops! Weigh in was this morning, 3.5lbs off so thats me exactly 3 stone down in 6 weeks - am so chuffed!!! Not so chuffed that the losses are slowing down but I guess its still...

Found you - at last! Awww huni, you sound so fed up. You have done absolutely fantastically well and you are a complete inspiration to the rest of your sisters and I am soooooo glad that you recognise that you look great but really bothered that you cant see that in the mirror. I do...

Doh! Was looking at the 100% cd thread - am off now to read the 100% ss thread instead!!!

Hey soola, what up? Had a read on the 100% thread and am not sure what your crisis is about. Hope you're ok sista?

Hi Pound Princess - well done on the fab weight loss hun - great start! As for the signature space - it increases with the more posts you make - I think you need to have made 50 posts before it expands enough for you to put a lot of detail in.

Penny...14......loss 5.....now 13.9 Ast...19...loss 2...now 18. 12 soola...12.5...loss 2...now 12.3 Julie...14,7..loss 3..now..14,4 Debs...16.1...loss..4..now..15.11 :censored:Senokot worked a treat - altho I have to admit that desparation caused me to overdose ever so slightly with rapid and...

Thanks for the constipation tips girls, am off to buy some senokot - fingers crossed! Good luck at your wi in tonight!!

Oh my god, Penny I thought I'd died and gone to cookie heaven - the smell in my kitchen alone last night was driving my taste buds insane, but the biccys themselves were absolutely amazing - will defi be making them again - didnt care that i zapped all the nutrients and stuff out my bar, it was...

Had a peak at your pics Julie - you are looking fabulous hun!! You cant have much more to lose judging by those pics? I've never tried the tetras but might get them for when i'm at work at least, am getting fed up shaking away like mad, bingo wings a-flapping, only to be left with a lumpy...

D'u know Julie, all the teachers were really nice with the exception of his english teacher - i actually felt like I was getting a row for the fact that my child isnt perfect - half expected lines from her!!! Old cow! Conor's certainly never going to be the next Einstein but as long as he's...

Morning all, having read the biccy recipe I now desperately want to leave work and go home and make them - they sound yummy - cheers for that Penny. :drool: Didnt make it on here - again - last night, was Conor's first high school parents night. All went well though so no worries there - he...

Hi Gem, just checking in with my results for this week. 4lbs off.....38.5lbs off in total.....16lbs in November so far. Good luck with the weigh in's this week everyone.

Hey all, recovered from my ordeal with the blood donating yesterday, arm all better now. Yucky cold pretty much gone and totm over so am feeling like my old self again! Yep, freezing cold, deprived of food me has returned!!! :gen125: Like the idea that we'll all still be team mates even...
