Good one Jo, love the hair (which reminds me mine needs a rechop!) You should have had a little flag for minimins so we could have seen you ;) Sometimes you have to have a splurge, but when you know your body's limits, it all goes back to plan. I've revisited some pounds and they are on their...

Sometimes u need to do things u dont like. But they are for the best, take heart that your furry friends have gone to happy homes and you were brave enough to let them go Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

She's still alive, still cooped up inside and waiting for the MRI results.

Ahhh the joys of cleaning house.... now Mr E is a house husband (due to circumstances with DS1) but housework seems a bit of a hit and miss, if I were a housewife then I would have been sacked by now ;) (yesterday I washed the kitchen floor, cleaned the bathroom, dusted all the rooms, failed on...

hello chikka Popping in, not done that for a while, I don't know where my days are going, anyhoo, just remember in the long run of it all, you have a number 1 on your forehead, I know we all think that we should be loyal but business is business these days (sadly).

Have you tried the manuka honey, my friend swears by it for curing lurgie :) it's not cheap but she gets the cheapest biggest jar she can find and it lasts ages, she has a spoon in the morning.

nothing like a bit of projectile to get the weight down ;) I'm waiting for my next move on the downwards number, currently like a yo-yo but I seem to do that for a few weeks and then the wooshie fairy comes along :)

when you see Mr Jackman again, can you just wrap him up and post him here please :)

Jan, This is the best place to start... http://www.minimins.com/atkins-diet/82208-so-youre-thinking-starting-atkins.html

hello sweetie Hope that the scan gets your back sorted out, backs are a right pain in the butt aren't they :( xx

I've noticed that going to the park definitely changes with the diet ;)

Tapping on window... helloooo hellooooo anyone at home :)

glad u got that sorted out :) hope you have enough to do indoors without getting into mischief :)

Hello chikka I'm bouncing around on the scales at the mo, someone needs to take away the mini eggs ;) I'm having serious issues in just having one!

not good sweetie, not good at all :(

evening chikka Hope that you get a quiet weekend I'm off to the seaside tomorrow = sticking and stamping and playing with paper, chocolate is always involved so will have to be as good as I can be!!

Morning, I think it must be you and the birds up in the morning - the birds here are tooooo chitchattery they keep waking me up and stoooopid-o-clock

Morning Mr E has gone to the allotment - with beetroot seeds :) My mum pickles beetroot with raspberry jelly, it is very nom nom I love beetroot, trouble is I tend to o/d had end up with pink wee ;)

morning - hope you have a good day today :)

morning - today is supposed to be a nice sunny day - yay :) I've got Mr E on the case for opening a tin of tuna - tuna salad for lunch for me today :)

wonders if someone has a headache ;)

hello sugar Hope you get rid of the banging soon and not long left of today's shift :) My 'off' day today, could do with another one, not had chance to play with paper n glue!

Morning A friend has made a batch of aubergine & spinach dahl - she quadruples the spices as she likes it spicy! Aubergine and Spinach Dahl recipe. 300g red Lentils, 1 Aubergine cut into chunks. 800ml Vegetable stock, 1 tsp each (ground cumin, ground coriander, turmeric, ground ginger), 300g...

she has a 'thing' about fluoride found that she is intolerant to it and I think this has calcium something or other - I got lost once she said she was intolerant to fluoride :o

you have been in the wars, I've been doing SW with Atkins so basically follow SW but find the lowest carb choices I can in terms of doing the 'red' days - chicken rather than the red meats, only red meat has been the pastrami and a bit of lamb (I'm not a huge beef eater). And, I've been having...

hope the weather is better for you today :) just frosty here this morning. Trifle sounds extremely yum, white chocolate custard..... trying not to dribble lol

'allo chikka, how are you diddling. I've got some tanquerey n tonic so happy!! I'm on my second pint so should sleep well tonight. Hope that you've had not nasties spoil your shift :)

do you like couscous? I've got a yum SW recipe :)

dinners always defeat me, I could happily live of roasted vegetables and chicken!

mwah it's saturday, I have the urge to move our bedroom around, put the bed under the window, gotta make a card first before I get waylaid but anything else! I quite fancy going red, but then I hate having to keep dying hair as it grows out!

I'm a terrible shopper, if I get stuff it is usually when grocery shopping ;) asda... tesco...!! ditto on the thumb, keep soaking it :) Docs are a nightmare, I tried to make an appointment for 7 days from my x-ray - now't, nada, diddlysquat. So, will try closer to the 7 days and there 'might...

dresses :) gosh I've not got any of them lol seem to live in trousers during sloth days, work I may get a skirt out in the summer ;)

evening sugar :) hope you are buzzing like a good un!

mine mine mine....

I've got some of the cheddar babybels to take to work tomorrow :) Will see if I can not eat all of them as I tend to have a bit of a feast once I start :)

gives a new meaning to buzzing around! Well, I've sewn them all on, hoping that the other Guides will be envious of them as they have to do an interest badge in order to finish off a challenge badge!

dont know about nerve damage but give it a go :) This time of night and I am trying to sew Guide badges on to my DDs hoodie, not going very well with the splint thing on my hand so going to have to take it off for sewing!!

I want a cat!

ah the joyful (not) not of totm. Before I had my girlie parts removed, I was prescribed Tranexamic Acid - they eased my heavyness but ended up having to have the bits out for other reasons.

hope that you manage to keep out of trouble missy ;)

let's hope any nasties stay inside tonight, I'd scare people as I'd be walking around like the walking dead doing shifts like that! I'm lowering the carbs a bit more this week - laying off the grapes lol been scoffing them so much I'm surprised I haven't got the trots ;)

Mil-par!! I had a bottle of the stuff I didn't use from when I had my girlie op last year, I got a bottle before I went in and then the hospital gave me a bottle when I came out so I had one lurking in the cupboard - gave it to someone else in need of a good bowel movement!

the cake looks nom nom I've a packet of flexflax to use up.... how much did you use!?

just catching up this sunny Sunday here in Naaaarfolk. You're looking super :)

The best type of weekend - Mr E has gone off this weekend so I'm just chilling with the kidlets :)

well, it's a pretty colour ;) bet it is darned sore :(

ooowwwiee so I have a vision of the cartoon thumb now with it the bandage around it! I certainly don't envy you what with your bumps and bruises :(

hello sugar I missed most of yesterday, came home, went to Guides, got a stinker headache and that was me done. I've had a totally needing of sugar day today - just had a thorntons white chocolate bar, had fudge at work and a shortbread biscuit, so I guess I may be joining you in the poundage...

I'm ready to be kidnapped :)

a cooking day! nom nom to the jelly and yog, I've done that with strawberry jelly and cherry yoghurt! Hope tomorrow morning isn't as uggy as it has been - not sure what that time of day looks like ;) I've just scoffed a couple of those multipack (pack of 6) cadbury bars, wishing I didn't now...

morning I've got some soggy chickens! Don't think you'd want to give them a cuddle, they are looking sorry for themselves (they have some trees they can snuggle under in this weather!)

From a forum I am in :) we have as well :) I am now off for some

I'm going to indulge in a curly wurly when I have got rid of another 5 pounds - 6 syns of heaven :)

good news

yay for the back, hope that it keeps 'mending' I'm going to add some flexflax to my oats-s-s in the morning and also try it with some of the coconut oil - see how it goes, forgot I had the flax stuff in the fridge - although also, as I have zumba tomorrow evening, it may be a mim when I get in :)

did u get to have coffee :) my parents live miles away so no chance of meeting either of them for lunch :(

:( shame about the house, I was busy decorating it as well in my head :) as that can't have been *the* one, the right one must be out there just waiting for the right moment :) xx

morning sweetie - did the scales stay where they should? Back to work today, windy as heck here, will drive the kids down to school otherwise they might blow away!! Just about to have my oats so simple n soya :)

mmmmmmm roast lamb my fave :)

I'm willing that the loss stays where it should be :) Enjoy the roastie - that's what I like about SW we can have them and not feel guilty - not that I am having one today so I will just have to be jealous!

Glad the concert went superbly :) Pooh to the house purchase, hope that it is not as bad as it sounds.

Good move, just rest easy laying rather than sitting :)

can't see where the gain may be coming from so maybe (hopefully) just a case of holding on to some water, although without reading backwards through the threads, are you taking diclofenac/voltarol (some people find some weight gain with it)

ooooh have fun :)

Darned backs. When I saw the orthopedic surgeon he told me the best thing to do is to keep moving when it seizes up, not easy to do when it hurts like *&*%^(@ - if you can, as sitting puts pressure on the spine bits, see if you can lie down for brief periods - not easy I know, I have that...

Morribums had the big jars of Hellmans on special.... needless to say it would have been rude not to have stocked up :)

Morning Some of my friends have ditched FB - this new timeline thing drives me nuts! Although most of my friends live in my mac - everyone is so spread out these days so it makes it easier to keep in touch and plus I have a thing for playing scrabble at the moment! Apart from that, it is...

<~~~~ wishes she could stay home and play with patterned papers :) Happy March my dear, I like it when we hit March (will have a 10 year old on Saturday!)

Morning - white rabbits, pinch and a punch - don't whallop me back ;) Hope you have a spiffing day today, spring is in the air hoppity hop hop

hope you are enjoying your zzzzzzzzzzzz's :)

Gosh not had a freddo for yonks, I may indulge in a curly wurly but at he moment I don't fancy chocolate <weird huh> Sent from my iPad using MiniMins

Must say that despite my reservations with getting shakes, the cookies and cream promax is quite yum - I'm making it with soya to make it a bit creamier :)

I'd like a personal trainer, if he is like Jessie Pavelka I would go every day, all day ;)

faberoonie :)

Morning chikka, hope you got up ok (I've no idea what 5.30 looks like!) and have a good day :)

Went to bed last night after Hawaii 5 O, (had run out of energy to stay up and watch True Blood) woke up this morning feeling like I had just gone to bed - I hate that! thankfully today has gone pretty quick at work - love it when I am busy! Hope your day hasn't dragged on and on and on....

good news :) I love Lush, I have to fall in the shop in Norwich every time we go there :)

Good one with the loss, hope I have one too - I've been good and not been standing on the scales every day!!! Can't be many syns in the seasoning. Try not to eat all the weetabix cake at once - I've nearly eaten all the jello I made yesterday (had to share with the kids) thankfully it seems to...

:) just did my morning blurb and came to see you and are you baking a loaf - mine is in the oven!!!

fruit salad?

Oh, found this - syn free.... toffee mullerlight mix in with half a tub of quark, the alpen light bars that are Hex free, if you crumble half in a bowl, then layer a banana with the mullerlight mix then put the rest of the alpen bar on top. SW banoffee pie!! Nom nom :)

These are good :) I take my soup to work in them (when I make it!)

depraved or deprived hard to tell ;) Thankfully, I decided to wait for my morning coffee to cool down a bit rather than drinking it whilst reading the thread :) otherwise might have been having a coffee screenwash ;)

Claire... I've got the cookies and cream promax - do you just mix with water? I've got soya milk and was wondering whether to use that?!!!

Menu sounds fine, fingers crossed that the numbers go down :)

I love my vibroplate, have noticed that my butt isn't as padded!

I'm boiling some eggs, then going to pickle them for snacks :)

Crikes Bren, scary picture

lol thought you said a reused mouse! You see what happens to me after a glass of pink fizz lol

I'll slurp some of my pink fizzy for you - sometimes we just need to let ourselves go wild, being girls and ruling the world sometimes the stress of doing that needs a bit of unwinding :)

Oh yum that looks good chiropractor tends to concentrate on the spinal bit, osteopath the whole body. I've tried both and been pulled about by both :)

good luck for tomorrow I miss belly dancing and the fun of saidi :)

got a bit of sheep in the oven, smell is divine!

How is it on your side, lovely and sunny here

Morning, hope the sun is shining as it is here in norfolk

morning :)

there are times in life that I could use a stick :) just don't tell anyone that I wrote that :)

I soooo can't do sitting around all day, I seize up to the point of painful to then get my butt of the chair - they are very good at work and used to me walking around and then suddenly playing statues! Doc gave me some co-codamol to take at work, the dihydrocodeine makes me too ga-ga so I...

pooh for having to do something on a rest day work wise. weird with the pillows, I have tried lying on back, starts off ok but in the morning I am on my side!

I'd like a cat :( live too close to the main road and don't want a squished one - although Mr E isn't keen on cats as well which doesn't help. Are you on a shift again today? I don't work on Wednesday and have the rest of the week off, not sure what we are doing yet! And... how did you...

they let me have diazepam now and then, they don't like giving much of that stuff out!!

I'm going to have to take the dihy....codeine tonight and amitryptaline - back is kerfoooked after zumba - bounced around too hard so I will join you in your pain! Apart from that, that tub of nosh looks quite yum :)

Claire, try a deep freeze spray - bag of frozen veg you may find that eases it more than the heat. When my back goes on its jollies, I start with the freeze before the heat. Sleeping, if you are sleeping on your side, put a pillow under the 'top' leg to raise it up (hope that makes sense!)...

well done :) :) I have changed from salad cream to mayo, it's just the thing these days :)

Glad you are in the throws of getting sorted. I was told once that I had sprained a muscle when I had a mega bad cough! And, not being in the medical profession, I'd go with lean meat, fruit n veg of the low carb varieties. Have you got diclofenac - that upsets some peoples tummys which might...

Can you find me some curtains! I've given up looking. Just want some nice dark red ones, perhaps a little pattern, and they need the tape as we have a pully curtain blind - all I can find is curtains with the holes in that you thread on a pole <sigh>

Good day of food there :) I declined a donut today :)

I'm going to get a darned badge soon - something to look forward to eh :) If nothing happens in the next few weeks, numbers going in a downward fashion, I'm tempted to try the slim & save. I'm not that fussed with food and sometimes it is a bind eating the stuff and once you hit ketosis your...

sounds like fun, and sunshine too :)

:) that you didn't go upwards, it's a pain in the butt, I guess that wooshie fairy just hasn't got as far as us just yet and is working on those that have loads more than us to shed :)

don't fall completely off the wagon :) I'm getting some thermabol - friend has pointed them out to me as they have helped her, might not help me but anything is worth a shot :)

I fancy some spinach now, will have to get some tomorrow. I like a juicy bit of cod or monkfish on a bed of garlicified spinach

does the loaf have actual mince in it? I am not keen on the stuff!!

I want an oven like that, the amount of time that my back has a wobbly because we have a "bend down and then try and stand up with holding something very hot" is starting to annoy me big time! Wished we owned our own house so we can remodel properly, don't think the housing association would...

we just have wonky scales! Going by the way mine can't figure how to go down they must be broken ;)

I've not long rolled out, Mr E has gone to cross country - not running, just doing whatever the people who stand around do!

Just put a couple pics on my diary, so I don't hijack Claire's thread :)

years ago, when I had a moggie, he knocked himself out jumping at the mirror wardrobe

Oh, I've got a dragon tattoo too :)

I like marmite and bovril - the chickens have marmite sarnies for treats :) I'm still trying to find a shake, currently got a maximuscle cookies and cream tub in a shopping basket! Just worried it is going to taste pants!

hehe, it's very simple to make, easy to eat as well :)

pic up in my diary :) half of it left, well maybe a third ;)

I can share the pain with your back, me and a sleeping bag on a camp mat thing are not what you call being in heaven! I've just made the gammon loaf - I reckon it'll make a neat packing up :)

This!!

I do a press up, hands on the plate, but don't do the pressing up and down bit ;) also doing the backwards type, sit on the floor and put hands on the plate facing forwards, does that make sense?

Privacy... User CP and there is a privacy option, mine is set to just registered members. Not sure if that stops the whole planet seeing everything or not! I've just put a nice recipe on my bit which I think must be atkins friendly (it's a SW recipe)

I'm subscribed to it so don't think it will matter if it moves :)

I've got some nanas, not quite plucked up courage to eat one lol My granola (Susie made me get it) comes tomorrow so I'll be having that instead of the usual. Def notice the tummy feeling emptier earlier.

night night :) sleep tight, hope you get the headache to go soon :)

It is, it comes out now and then, more of the then though ;) for something that only takes 15 minutes I should really do better (it has toned up my arms though!)

You must have my headache, the heavy metal band I had playing has finally disappeared. Hope that it tootles off somewhere else soon :)

you need to get some arnica cream, brings out the bruises :) How's today been on the foodie front?

yup, pm over and I'll send them

bribery works a treat, I have to resort it to now and then. Powerplate - I've got one in the living room, it sits in the corner ;) bellydancing - I used to do that, falls on a stupid night of the week when Mr E is off air cadet'ing

It's just meat and veg but the healthy type :)

dunno!! mine are a few weeks old, downloaded them before my online membership ran out ;)

Popped in to your thread :) have you got all the lists for SW, I have them downloaded if you need them.

oh i saw that granola, might have to have a go at that! Not sure I could give up mayo - I'm amazed I've not had salad cream withdrawal symptoms :)

I'm popping into your thread! Wondering whether to add some shakes into my daily, as had 2lbs go on :sigh: feeling like a yo-yo!!

pooh to the shifts, how many days do you have before you get rest days?

A friend has posted this on FB, watch your moggy!!

Mr E bought two of our kidlets back from the school disco last night. -6 in the car and the brakes were a bit frozen <eek>

Oh I love rhubarb, shoving it on the shopping list for Mr E :)

Have a lovely weekend, doing not a lot :)

Morning - I learnt that, after having had a bit of a carb binge yesterday, that they give you wind! Hope you have a good day :)

Doctors my dear, having a knackered back myself I have to keep an eye on mine, even though I do zumba (but not the high impact jumping around bits, unless I get carried away) something silly like opening a car door might set it off on one of its jollies. Apart from that, have a good day. I'm...

yay on the loss enjoy the hols :)

Must be something in the air, I have been yawning since I got up this morning!

it doesn't look a lot to me, but then I haven't been doing it that long to have any idea on what a lot is :) no help am I!!!

afternoon what a great article!

Hope you've had a calm afternoon! Food sounds yum :)

sounds good and ears perk up at the word wine, I have a bottle staring at me!

I prefer the eat when I am hungry method rather than having set times, my body just doesn't get it!

fingers crossed that the fairy makes a visit :)

I've celeriac chips saved in my low carb recipes, not sure where I got it from - found from a link on here I think! "Just peel, cut into slices and either brush with oil and put in the oven for 30-40 minutes or shallow fry. The oven ones are really nice if you grate...

hey, hope you had a good day :)

Yay, happy dance.

looks yum :)

might work, don't come and hit me if it doesn't lol

have you got any cream that you can warm and add some cheese to it? No idea if it will work, just off the top of my head!

Claire, what shakes do you use. Mr E gets 'peckish' during the day for something sweet and I wondered whether the shakes that are fruity/chocolately would help him?

Kitty = best place to be! :)

Good news all round :) I hope that I can join you in the 10 club soon :)

Have you measured??? I'm finding that although I am losing slowly that I have lost some inches.

Ugh, not a good past few days, work does get in the way of life eh :) I could quite happily stay at home and play with paper and glue all day :) I've got the flax to play with, Mr E has gone to the squadron hut to finish tidying it up! DD is baking cupcakes, so the other two will be happy...

Good decision, stay at home, weather in parts looks nasty. I've just been out to check on the chooks and I'm not going out again until this afternoon's egg check! No snow but brrrrrr around the exposed body parts!

It's still a lot of sugar :)

mmmmm I get Wells / Cromer crab nom nom Makes me wonder when the fish man will be pack down at the Quay at work, will have to keep an eye out and then get lots of fresh fishes :)

Having lost 8lbs (although for some bodily function issue gained 1.4 but that has gone). I guess that I can get another 7lbs off in Feb, one can but try :)

Hope you've had a better day, have you had your kebab?

nice to see you are feeling more up than down. Have you tried sucking ice cubes?? Not sure if it will work but it might slide down rather than having to swallow gulps???

Great Susie, glad you are starting to feel better :)

oh yum, can I come to tea :)

:( what a piddlypooh day, hope tomorrow is brighter

enjoy the coffee :) I'm clean and green this week so no brandy in my coffee :(

ha they think they are immune don't they!! A friend has slippery elm bark for her tummy, she says it helps.

shame you can't do a worzel gummage to get shot of that migrane :) hope you get rid of it soon, horrible things aren't they :(

:( hope you feel better soon. have you tried dipping crispy bacon in a soft boiled egg? I made the philly pancakes this morning - very yum although tomorrow going to add the cinnamon!!

Ahhhh but I think that the whooopsie fairy is also beneficial at times :D

I was looking at scales at lunchtime online - briefly then then net went down! Which ones did you get? I'm trying to find ones that do the weight in stones, body fat % and BMI - and that I can read without bending down to see the numbers :) PS my brother lives just outside Belfast!

hope you get rid of the woofs soon, we're going for clean and green too :)

LOL know what you mean, I wonder if that fairy does help ;) Are we doing this again for February? :)

damnations up 1.4lb this morning - had a weird week last week (not eating wise but feeling wise). As tomorrow is the last day of the month ;) will see what they say tomorrow morning to see if it has gone away by then!! After all tomorrow is the end of Jan not today ;)

If I have milk I have the full fat type - less carbs than the others. If you are a coffee drinker and have milk, I've been using single cream (the proper stuff not that elmea) instead :)

gee I hope my flax stuff comes quick! got pancake envy!

Oi, tomorrow is another day, I've just had 3 g&t's (slurping whilst watching Hawaii 5 O - Alex lusting Mr E calls it). Just pick yourself up and start again, we're behind you :)

Must be g&t night, I've cracked open the tanquerey!

I have to get Mr E to cook up some more chicken and crispy fry some bacon :)

Thank you, off to have a look :)

where do you get your flax - I've been on the www but confused slightly by the different sorts and most have had carbs in :confused:

I'd love to get a phoenix (shoulder/back) got a dragon (2 1/2 hour job!) and some others but really want a phoenix!

Hey Jo I wouldn't give up. I've been watching the scales this week - naughty I know, and I know I shouldn't - but I've not been feeling 'right' this week, got aches that won't go and a headache! My scales are telling me (and this has been three days in a row) that I am up 2lb. We know it is a...

lots of fun there, hope you had a lovely pud :)

I do hope you start to feel better soon :) I got stuck on that blog, gotta find some flaxstuff ~~~ loved the look of the pizza! Hope you have fun rock pooling - I do that when it is warmer :)

stop it!!! <insert emoticon that is dribbling>

Kings Lynn = 40 mins at the most from me :)

Good news :) are you feeling better too?

boy, got to send Mr E out on a shopping spree - not got cream cheese!

I've sent the linkie to Mr E, we'll have a go too :)

oh deary me, hope you get well soon

way to go :) you must be doing a happy dance

mine needs another chop, it's gone curly!

Hope you feel better real soon :) hope those creepy pounds go and do something else instead of bugging you :)

Hope you have had a better day today :)

hope you get shot of the 'bad weather' I hate feeling uggish.

oh happy dance, i can drop my kids off at their grandparents who are not far away and come visit!

oh, what a day, hope tomorrow shines more brightly :)

sounding good sweetie Mr E is off to Easter Camp with the RAF - High Wycombe (told him he can't go to Gilbralter - I'm not taking annual leave so he can go!)

OMG low carb pear drops, hold me back lol

they do sound yum, I keep seeing mention of flax but not entirely sure what it is, what to do with it, or even where to get it from! I've had to bookmark the cookies! Oh and the da vinci thingy! I guess you can get this in the UK too??

I'm with you re totm although I had the offending object removed last year so will send 'olivia' sympathies (the consultant left me one ovary and that is her name!) Let's hope that you get good news with the offer :)

I had a piece of cake, full confession in my diary! :break_diet: I'll egg you on to get back down to the 10.10 :)

Glad you are starting to feel more human, and yes, onwards and downwards - we get there eventually, just have to overcome the hurdles that are thrown in the way :)

I'm happy - 8lbs has gone walkies {happy dance}

blimey it does show doesn't it what *that* type of food does to our bodies. As they say onwards and downwards my dear, you have to keep going as I am chasing you to catch up with your 10s :)

oh yum yum Just noticed I started at about the same weight as you :)

Oh, I found these in Morrisons yesterday, nom nom. I only got one packet as I wasn't sure whether I would like them - wish I'd picked up a few more :)

Super, nothing like planning your palace :)

I'm so looking forward to joining you in the 10:10 club :) Love your dinner!!

Good luck :) I've written out your plan for the losing bit - it's great to have ideas of what you lot that have been doing longer than me plan out. Not sure about the pork crackling bits but then I don't get that hungry for snacks (yet anyway!!!)

that does look rather yummy, will have to let Mr E have the 'recipe' - we like the chuck it in and see approach :)

Way to go, I'm chuffed too :) it's great when people get to their goal, certainly spurs me on, so, thank you :)

I've never had haloumi, looked at the packet on the shelves and put it back as no idea what it tastes like and what on earth do you do with it!

Hello, do you know me? If you don't, you should. I'm a pound of fat, and I'm the HAPPIEST pound of fat that you would ever want to meet. Want to know why? It's because no one ever wants to lose me; I'm ONLY ONE POUND, just a pound! Everyone wants to lose three pounds, five pounds, or fifteen...

Excellent, sparkle up that halo :)

Good luck for the assessments :)

Lovely I love those buildings - I'm in Norfolk now but from Kent. Passed my driving test in Hastings!

isn't vodka carb free, that may kill the bugs or make them drunk enough to leave :) Hope you are feeling better soon, being sick when you have time off is pants.

looks rather yum, you'll have to split the leftovers into two portions :)

It was a whopper last week! Having done sw before I'm used to the strangeness of losing weight. I've got some ketostix - out of curiosity to see what the body is doing, will be interesting to see what any changes there may be in respect of the diet and the shades of pink :)

Well, what happened last week???!!! Lost a measly 0.2 of a pound :confused:

Sounds good - apart from the lack of available food!

Well done. I've a bag of Hersheys, they aren't going nowhere as they are part of my work towards goal - which better not take too long otherwise they will go out of date

ooh ooh saw the word kebab - are these ok for after induction (one week to go!) of course with out the pitta bread thingy :)

When I work at the office - I always drink my water, never want to smoke but i am sooooo hungry. Are you bound by eating times/break times? Can you take a snack pot in - Jim mentioned to me when I was wondering what to do about lunch, to take in a pot of celery sticks to munch on. When I...

OMG low carb cheesecake - is the recipe on here for that??

oooh octopus, never had it, is it 'chewy' still not sure if I could get it past my lips!

Stand back from the chocolate. I find that if I have one piece I get the taste back again, so, the bag of Hershey kisses is what will be opened as soon as I hit my initial goal :) Hope that you get a nice birthday tea and it is friendly :)

Happy birthday :)

Oh I like the Shred, me and Mr E got to the second stage, third looked too scary. We haven't done it for a while but I have certainly felt the effects after a few days. Celeriac mash, I must use the half I have in the fridge! Think it is pork steaks tomorrow for tea tomorrow :)

Like the sound of the chips, I've got half a celeriac too! Will have to get some parmesan tomorrow :) the mushrooms sound good too :)

I'll cheer you up, Me E lost 3lbs whereas I lost 5lbs - no doubt it will be the other way around next week!

:clap: well done. I am sooooo looking forward to having a 10 number myself!

I'm ignoring the fact that I am missing ketchup, I miss dunking my sausages!

WI this morning :clap: 5.8 lbs - can't believe it, thought it would only be a couple :)

Excellent, hope I get a good one tomorrow too, you are all keeping me going :)

superb, I have my first WI on Monday {know at least 1 pound has gone :D my trousers aren't as tight!}

I like the sound of the quiche (I'm feeling the need to have something different to sausages for breakfast!)

Woke up this morning with no hangover head - yay. Still a slight twang but not like yesterday :) rock on ketosis :)

Got mine today, on day 5, do I get a badge!
