thanks for the responses. Nick, you're not kidding yourself. I think SS does change you and how you eat. Before SSing, I didn't really think about what I was eating, but looking back over the last couple of weeks, I think my tastes have changed whilst SSing. I no longer crave sugary or carb...

Hi all I've not posted for a while as I've been suffering from a cabbaged head as hub & I thought we might be expecting child no 3! That meant SSing became a no no so I've not been on the wagon for a few weeks now. Long story short, blood test results have definitely confirmed that I'm not so...

Hi Mandy Well, WI result tonight was fantastic. 6.5lb off which is brilliant. I wasn't expecting anything really, as I wobbled a bit yesterday and picked at stuff. I didn't go mad or eat rubbish, just a couple of small spuds and a bit of gravy whilst I was cooking sunday lunch, but I was...

Its a great site, I found it by accident last night.:) I like the way it gives you a variety of makes and prices. I hate buying jeans as I can never get them to fit in the waist properly. They are always too big but they fit on the hips.... I think I'm going to try to get either of my 2 faves...

Hi all I used to be really organised. This year I'm not really. I've sorted out the presents for the kids. I've been buying them through the year here and there (let's hear it for Woolie's toy sales!).:D I've stashed them all in their nana's but when I checked what I've gotten them, its...

Hi all I found this site last night. It finds the ideal shape/type of jeans for you. You answer a load of questions and it searches for the best fit. I'm going to get the jeans it suggested for me when I get a bit smaller..... http://www.zafu.com Take care

Hi all Only just found this thread. My height is 5' 6" my desired weight is around 10st my desired size is 12 (not sure if I'd get lower than that as when I was a curvy 9.5st I was a 12/14) I'm not hung up on my BMI, as long as I'm healthy. It'l definitely be better than 18st 6 (my heaviest!)

Hi folks I haven't posted for a while because I'm back in work which means I don't get as much time to mooch on the internet as before :( Things have been OK. I had a gain at last WI which was no big surprise as I had made a decision to "step off" the wagon for my birthday. I've gotten back...

Well Well the birthday is over and I'm officially in middle-age-dom! Ah well, its only a number and all that. Maybe I should use the middle age thing as a spur to keep on track?:p Still, who cares, I had a fantastic time in Amsterdam and I've had a great day today with Roy and the kids, and my...

Hi all Haven't been able to post for a couple of days as I was over in sunny Amsterdam. Had a fantastic time and really enjoyed it. I'm still "in the zone" as 'im indoors says and feeling really positive. I was cheesed off earlier in the week as at my WI on Monday I stayed the same even though...

Well, another successful CD day over.:) I've even managed to contend with a McDs birthday party today and haven't been tempted. I'm feeling quite pleased with myself. :D I have to say that the abstinence thing is definitely getting easier for me. I think its might be because I "fell off the...

Morning all Well, today the weather is pants up here, and I'm stuck in waiting for the bloke to come and change over my electric meter.:( Looks like a day of waiting and clock watching for me! :mad: Still managing to stay on track, so am feeling good about the diet in general.:) I've...

Hiya all Haven't posted for a few days, as I've been running around after the little 'uns (my 2 and the new arrival). I'm still on my 100% track and feeling quite proud of myself. :) I've managed to get into a pair of jeans this morning that wouldn't fit the other week. Very happy with...

kick in the pants - WOOO HOOOO! WI Well, another 6 and a bit off tonight so thats 12lb ish in 2 weeks! :) :) :) Bring on the next week!

Great thread. I think I'll be saying "pass me a smaller size please!". :)

Hi all I'm off to the cinema in a bit with Cayt to see Open Season. Should be fun. I'm not even bothered about confronting the pick n mix or ice cream! Still feeling really positive. I weighed myself again this am (I know I shouldn't really but what the hell) and according to my scales I've...

Hi everyone I've managed to have a good day today. The only downer is that I've not drank enough water today.:( I really need to make an effort tomorrow to glug more. Still, I'm feeling really strong and positive. I managed to go to a birthday party for a 2 year old (with all the requisite...

Hi all Hope you are all having a good day today. I've managed to stay on track, although I've been fighting "that Friday feeling" and the urge to munch and "treat" myself. I've been telling myself that I'll have a nice wallow in the bath later as my treat. Anyway, I'm off to cook the girls...

Hi Ca-ching. Hope you're doing OK. Was just thinking about you're lovely post on my thread and I hope your fighting the good fight and winning. :) Take care

Aww Ca-Ching! Thanks so much. I'll definitely take you up on the support offer. I'll stay on the wagon if you will. I'm just getting rid of the "bruises" from the last time I fell off :p Seriously though, the more support I get the easier it will make this (hopefully). My "mantra" if I have one...

Lol Broody mares? That would be me Isobel! :D I'm off to see the new arrival later this pm with my mum. I'll post a piccy later. Well, I've been really good today. 2 packs down but not enough water (been out and about):( Still, I'm going to glug a few pints before I go to the hospital. At...

Kick in the pants - episode 3 - weigh in Woo hoo! Well, I went to get weighed earlier. Not really expecting much as I've been on and off for the last 2 weeks and only started back SSing with a vengance last Saturday. I would have been happy with 2 or 3lb. I was very very very happily surpised...

Kick in yhe pants - baby news Hi all. Well I am now an aunty!:) :) My sis in law gave birth to a 4lb 4oz baby girl called Bethany at 9.05am today. Mum and daughter are doing fine and dad is still shell shocked. I'm so happy. I can't wait to see her. I'm off out to pick up eldest from school...

Well, I'm v pleased to report that the keostck this morning was PINK! Probably explains why I'm feeling a bit rough this am. I'm just going to wait forthe energy surge! I've been on pins all night as my sister in law went into labour yesterday in work (its their first baby). She's been having...

Thanks K:) These are fantastic! I'm going to make good use of them! I've just noticed your weight loss on your ticker and its fantastic! It has really helped to spur me on as I have around this amount to lose. Its great to know that although I've got a mountain to climb there is someone who has...

Kick in the pants - episode 2 I'm off to bed now after another 100% day. I'm sooo happy that I've managed to get through another day of SSing. I have definitely gotten a distinct liking for choc/vanilla combo of packs. Its sooo yummy and I can almost convince myself I'm having something really...

Lol 4 yr old loves bagpuss, Dora the explorer and Star wars! :confused: Youngest starts dancing if she sees/hears Fifi and the flower tots or Thomas the tank engine....:) Still, it could be worse, it could be power rangers! ;) lol

I loved Bagpuss too. I liked the singing mice:) My 2 girls (4 and 16mths) love it now as well (they watch it on Nick Jnr).

KICK!!! LMAO! :) :) I would have kicked earlier but I was picking up eldest from school and its difficult to drive and kick at the same time! :p

Isobel Too true!:) :) I've just survived another encounter! One more on the way to yummy mummy-dom lol! Take care

Hi C Glad you like the bagpuss thing. I thought it up a couple of weeks ago and it seemed apt!.:) I'm doing ok today. Been 100% on track (no nibbling) so far. Am feeling really good and trying to keep busy to keep me from getting bored (in case it makes me want to munch). How are you doing today?

Thanks Isobel Nice to hear from you. I've not been on line much for a while. Probably because I was off the rails and didn't want to deal with it. Anyhow, I'm back and am going to do this and the beehatches in the playground can k155 my rapidly shrinking 8utt!! lol:eek: Take care M:)

Hi All Thanks for your thoughts. Its nice to know that I'm not alone.:) Hope everyone has had a good day. Well, I've been good today. Considering it was sunday lunch at mum's (which is usually fatal as she makes fantastic gravy:( ) I' ve managed to stay on track. I'm up to my 3rd litre of...

Hi Ca Ching Nice to meet you. Mary :)

Thanks Angela I'm just going to keep thinking of that one sentence whenever I'm tempted. We can do this and we'll be fabulous when we get to goal. Take care Mary:)

Thanks Dizzy. I know what you mean about the playground dynamic. It can be weird at times. I'm just going to use this experience to spur me on. I know I can do this. I have done it before (lost 3st on LL to begin with). At the end of the day I need to stop viewing food as anything but fuel for...

Sorry to vent but its necessary. Here's the background. My eldest started school recently and has been getting picked on by this particular kid (he also picked on her last year in nursery). Long story short, I don't like the kid. At all. :mad: I know he's a child, and that my judgement is...

Thanks Mini. I'll give it a go. Strangely enough I have been thinking about drastically changing my hair length/colour when I get to goal. Its been long and dark for ages and I keep winding my husband up that I'm going to go spiky and blonde. Now I can sort of see what it'd look like.... M:)

Day 5 So far so good. I'm still hanging in there and have lost 5lb up to now. :) :) I think I'm in ketosis now because my mouth tastes a bit "funny" (which it did when I was on LL). I'll wee on a stick later to check.:p I've had a hot choc mint today and a choc/orange bar. That bar was...

Well, day one is out of the way. I'm on day 2 and up to now have had a hot choc/mint and a strawberry pack. I'm feeling very virtuous! he he :) Hub has just gone to work and no 2 daughter is asleep. no 1 is pottering around drawing pictures for me. She's covered in red felt tip at the moment...

:) Well, I've restarted again today. I'm feeling pleased with myself because I've managed to abstain totally today. :) I am especially happy that I've managed to get through "tea time" when I used to find it really difficult. I've been mooching on here and DH to keep myself away from the fridge...
