MLM I thought for one awful moment reading your post that you were going to finish by saying that he did nothing so I am glad you have been referred appropriately. Hope it doesn't take too long and also hope you have had a chat with your partner so that he knows when to get emergency treatment...
@ HLV - bloody brilliant - you rock!
@ MLM - if you get much more hot air blown up you ass on the before and after thread you will soon be the size you were before - worry not tho you can just fart it out at an appropriate moment!
@ Pesty and JOT - what the feck goes on in your head when you...
@EF - my parents split and I found out what happened from my mums perspective only because she had to write down the events for a solicitor and I found the paper when I ferreted through a bureau looking where I shouldn't.
I met my dad years later when I had a family of my own and he told me at...
@EF looks like you have to evaluate what you are getting from the relationship. Seems like he is a high earner and you will get residual benefits from that such as expensive holidays that you wouldn't get if you were living on the breadline.
Sooooo if you like the 'things' that come with the...
I asked if he knew you used this site as if he has read your posts he would perhaps find a way to get you back?
Even if he doesn't know your name this is the most popular thread and your photo is on your posts.
Perhaps he is just having some 'fun' and seeing if anyone is interested in him -...
Ooo the nuun sounds interesting and vegan also - where do you buy it? Sorry to those interested in redwood points but my computer is telling me the body optimise site is dangerous for me to visit! Will try again later as this is the last day of my subscription.
I must say I am not really doing the slimming world any more - I learned the principles and now am using them BUT I wanted to eat a much healthier diet and in doing that the slimming world strictly just doesn't work. I am really busy with work at the mo and I have access to the site till the end...
Hello all just catching up with the thread - you all sound as if you are still going in the right direction. I am losing still also but just really really busy with work at the mo! Doesn't mean I don't think about youze all tho! keep up the good work guys! :)
Elo - I have been fat and therefore didn't allow myself the pleasure of coming on the thread or forum but the scales are going in the right direction now so here I am again.
Pesty - I love your new avatar you are so purdy!:)
MLM - what did your consultant actually say to you - just being...
Also 100% from today and I feel quite down about it which doesn't make sense as the stuff I really wanted to eat didn't taste half as good as I remembered it did. I really wanted some ice cream and meh - shouldn't have bothered. eating a rather large bag of hand cooked crisps was excellent tho...
Also I tried some of my size 14 clothes on this morning and they look rediculous - I hadn't realised how different I am - I bought a load of size 14 jeans for work and some of them didn't fit me, they were too small. They all now fit and fortunately some of the 14s I had when I was bigger seem...
One of the probs with Christmas is that there are gatherings of people some of which are rather large. I was at such a gathering yesterday and 2 of the people there were unwell so I doubt it will be long before I start feeling grotty as well.
I suspect a lot of folk will be in the same boat - I...
I think blood pressure drops and you can feint - did that once - didn't like it! Rather not drink and not burst a blood vessel and have a stroke tho. I have stocked up on schloer for the hols!:rolleyes:
Off out to sainsbugs this morning to get last minute things - at the doors for opening at 6am. Was quite pleasant although things were in short supply sometimes - like narnas. Won't be in the zone today as I am going out for dinner this evening but I am happy so that's all that matters for now! :D
bonjour! I have been having problems with my blood pressure and I saw the quack the other day and he gave me some diuretics. The drying out process took a pound off the scales! Woo!:109::smiley1842::xmastree:
On the down side I can't drink any alcohol whilst I am taking them and unless they...
Absolutely well done to all losers here - I thought things may go awry over the festive period and you are all not letting that happen. Woo hoo to us all!:D
Thanks Gail - when I looked at the thread earlier today they had disappeared - glad they are back now although I found and copied them from the slimming world site eventually. Ah - no they are not - or is it just me?
Why have all the stickers gone from the site except the target ones???????? none in the normal place to copy them from and gone from signatures as well. Grrr.
At long long last I have my stone award and if I lose half a pound this week - doubtful - I will have my club ten! I really, really want one of those blue target stars! :D
Unfortunatley all the stickers apart from target ones have gone from the site and also from my sig. **silently cries.**
This made me hoot yesterday when I was sitting in work and everything was quiet. How come things like this always happen when there is a lull in the workplace?
Someone randomly hooting when they should be just quietly working on their computer causes many raised eyebrows I find. By the way I...
Hasta that felt really peculiar reading your post. I was a bit mad at your mum cos she set your eating habits and then tried to turn then around by guilt tripping you! At least that's how it came across I hope I got that bit wrong! :o
Go you :party0049:and fabby Minxie!:D0049::angel:
I think I just got a glimp of Sarah there Jimbob! Good on yer missus for having the determination to do this and seeing it through.
Looks like you were eased into it by a lovely mum who could see things that you in your depressed state could not. Sometimes happens like that with depression -...
EF this is not time to be sitting on your laurels if you are going for a job with a lot of competition. You need to be reading up on stuff and generally talking to folk already in that position or higher to find out exactly what is needed - surely? Problem with this sort of stuff is that you...
Awww Pesty that sounds really horrid - it is strange, there are lots of threads on here about people saying things about 'fat' people and generally being nasty but there are also a lot that say that the comments spurred them on to do something about it. I hope you still see those girls and you...
metaphysical man (imagine hippy dude saying this) - I think you are right tho - I think everything is connected and sometimes I think that all that happens in this world is that one thing gets moved to another place - continually.:rolleyes:
It seems there are quite a few ladies on here losing weight to get pregnant - apart from the obvious health problems related to being obese I don't quite get the biology of why people don't find it easy to conceive when they are over weight - unless it is the obvious one....
This has prob been asked a million times on this forum but can I ask why people decided to use slimming world and indeed why people decided to diet at all and what started the ball rolling - i.e. the tipping point?:o
Just a bit more information would help - if this is what is happening it should say so on the site instead of just leaving everyone hanging. :mad: This is just bad planning, bad marketing and altogethr badbusiness especially as they sent me an email this morning to record my weight. We had our...
I haven't been posting on my diary for a while and the reason is that I was staying with my daughter all week when it was snowbound cos I couldn't get to work from home and also because I am not really following the diet.
It is the strangest thing but I am eating what I want and still losing...
Ok if you are recruiting this is me asking for permission to join - officially. I read tis thread every day and it is the only one I currently have on my watch list so I think it is time to get permission officially and start boring everyone!
Anyhoo after I get permission I have very important...
Gerroff! your making it up incha!:eek: :hide:
I am staying at my daughters so no choice with food - they are being kind enough allowing for my strange vegan ways! Also no computer time in the evenings so only moments I can grab at work at the mo! Think I may be in the ''given up till the new...
HLV - such a shame that being bad is so very very good? Ne'rmind tis a fault in us all at this time of year so look at it like that - once new year is over then you have a whole 11 months to get it sorted again!
Minxy - is you now a yoyoer?
Car travel not possible here is south yorkie - neighbour saying no buses in our area either. I am staying with my daughter at the mo and so able to walk into work about a mile but quite fun when you are having a laugh with someone.
Forecast more snow today and over night ho hum is very...

Suddenly realised today that if I tried really hard and lost 2.25 pounds this week I could get my stone award. Don't suppose I will but I will have a go nevertheless.
Breakfast - All-bran and soya milk HEA and HEB
Mid - 2 mandarins
Lunch - Sainsburys quick noodles and a...

Russet apples taste wonderful to me but I realise they are not everyones cuppa tea so to speak. There are many types but the type I am asking about is the egremont russet the type with the rough skins all over that are a pale brown colour and feel almost like sand paper.
When I buy these apples...

Breakfast - 3 ryvita seeds things HEB and about 100g of sainsburys red cherry conserve. Cuppa tea with throughout the day HEA.

Thermos Work Series Stainless Steel Flask Blue 1.2L
I got this one from amazon - lots of reviews. I make a batch of soup and take it into work. As the flask is quite big it holds enough for 2 days. The second day you have to warm it up but it does stay hot for a long while. The key is to warm...
They are lazy arse gits is all - it takes a real artist with cloth to make a garment that conforms to such a wonderful figure instead of just energising a fabric bag to fit a bean pole.:rolleyes:
Ok not posted for a while as the mojo disappeared on my birthday - back again now.
Breakfast - 2 weetabix and soya milk - hea and heb and a big banana.
Mid - Russet apple a big one and heb of nuts
Lunch after work out - bag of seabrook crisps
Mid - 4 mandarins

She looks fantastic - trouble with the 40s and sixties is that there were still the skinnies around. Twigggy in the 60's and audrey hepburn in the late 40's.
I think the difference here is that what women want and what men want is entirely different. I am sure most men would go for the curvey...
I am the same - I just got an email to say they are taking another 20 quid for another months registration in december and I am wondering whether to stop. the thing that keeps me wanting to is guilt. The fact that they have paid folk to do the research etc for the diet etc. and without that...
