hope everyone is doing well!! - it is sickly hot here today! all is well just 3 classes today so I will spend most of the day writing papers for my degree!

well done Sharon!!!!!

how much did you lose this week Rach?

thank you :) - I would imagine i'm a little lighter then the scales are showing at the moment cause i'm quite bloated at the moment!

lost 2 pounds this week...making for a total of 23 pounds - 2 more pounds to go to have reached half way on my goal!

exactly :) i'm not bothered by it at all :)

just got to fit in my dress really and if i dont i find something else i like

i'm not going to stress about it either - what gets done will get done what don't won't - simple :) - no point to stress about it....everyone knows i'm laid back anyways - so its not going to be something that has to be 100% perfect though it will be cause i'm marrying the love of my life :P :)...

I know its crazy how fast 132 days will go :-) can't wait though most everything is done now!!!!

good luck with the xenical :) you will do well make sure to drink lots of water!

Hey Rach... I have taken water tablets for my bloating in the past - if they are working for you go for it. also try eating foods that have natural duretics in it such as carrots :) I am not doing to bad - have an ear infection so feeling slightly off balance but other then that I am doing...

Good Morning Ladies, Hope all is well here! tomorrows weigh in day fingers crossed for a good result! how is everyone?

Oh I most certainly will be doing that :-) though I will need to go for a walk this afternoon I am still hoping to have lost 2-3 pounds this week so far the scales haven't changed....but it could possibly be because I am ovulating (sorry if TMI) so I am possibly retaining water.

everything is quite well here kids are a little crazy today - but that is a normal Friday really :) - it has been a very long week and we have been having a lot of Saturday schools lately so they haven't gotten much of a break :) - I pity them but I don't let them know that :) we have decided...

Good Morning Ladies, sorry I didn't write yesterday - one of the kids broke my adapter and my computer had only 10min of battery life left. The ICT department fixed it up for me, and now its working again :) Walked to work this morning - will walk home to - i'm not feeling the best I think my...

thanks :) haha i can try to get him to send the potatoes - but i don't think they would be all that nice once they got there! haha :)

thanks Steph :) - I am certainly trying so tired today - for some reason i'm just not sleeping well - I blame it on the heat! walked around my compound 5 times last night - going to build it up to walking around 10 times by Saturday! my back is to bad right now to get on the bike. Breakfast...

thanks Rach I will certainly try :)

thanks :) - i'll be walking home from school to as far as I know.

Good Morning Everyone, Walked to school this morning....shall be a very interesting jam packed day :) i've already started to take the new pills so I am hoping they start to take effect asap :) did a 30 min walk last night - that combined with all my walking around classrooms yesterday - I...

my driver did it - he found my medication :) so happy about it

haha I guess I just want to lose it a lot faster :) most people using xenical seem to be losing a lot more then 1-2 lbs a week though? the weeks I really exercise turn out to be the weeks that I lose the most weight - so my intentions are to exercise quite a bit this week Monday- Friday - with...

thanks :) i was hoping to see more then 1 pound with the xenical - but i have done well - some weeks are good some weeks are not so good - but I haven't gained anything and that is what is important! if I lose 4 pounds this week :) - I will have made it to the half way point :) i don't think...

Yes Rach :-) there is 3 - its interesting - they are wonderful - though it do drive me nuts when people think I am then :) because i'm really not like them at all :P - I look like them but that is about it! My driver has gone to the pharmacies - i told him not to stop looking until he finds...

Hello Mrs A :) You are in the right place :) Don't be scared - just watch the fat content in your food is all :) you'll be fine :) - and if you follow what instructions the doctors have given you you will do great :) I drink a lot of water - make sure you drink warm water if the weather is...

this true :-) we are hoping for 4 kids but that will only happen if i can find these pills so i can get things regulated by the time we are married.

thanks guys :) I am one of a triplet Rach :)

thanks guys tomorrow is another big day i'm generally nervous...I am suppose to find fertility treatment drugs because of my PCOS Clomiphene and Metformin .... it won't be hard to find i'm sure ... here there is no such thing as putting in an RX and getitng it filled you actually have to go...

not feeling to bad :) though slightly disappointed as I always want to see a dip in the scales and I feel like ive gained weight this week :-(

ooo question yesterday I bought 5 new blouses ( I splurged but they were on sale - and nothing ever goes on sale here) anyways they are size 3x which is my normal size so I am slightly disapointed with that BUT then I thought about it maybe they were ordered in from the UK therefore they would...

hope you are doing well with the xenical :) - welcome aboard :)

Hello Everyone, Sorry I haven't been around for the last few days. Just wasn't feeling weel so decided to rest - and that meant not turning on the computer very much otherwise I would have started doing work. Weightless this week is probably nothing, but I won't lose heart as i've been sick...

Good Morning, I do feel a little better this morning....hopefully by tomorrow after the last injection I will be feeling much more better! so far the scales haven't showed any difference for this week - but there is still lots of time before Monday :-) the tea just says Extra strength fat...

Hi Guys, sorry for the delay in response.... today i have been able to keep down liquids so - water and soup it has been. was at the hospital twice today found a good but very expensive hospital....but if they make me feel better its worth it. doctor gave me a fat burning tea today - chinese...

thank you!

hospital - did not go well - they gave me a note for the day off today - and didn't give me any meds to get rid of the malaria - I may end up having to travel to England or Canada to get over this! very happy with the weight loss though

inch loss is much better then weigh loss in my opinion! soo good job :) are you sure your scales are reliable ?

weigh in shows a loss of 5 pounds this week :-) if I can keep that up til my wedding :) - I'll be sure to meet my goal! just getting ready to go back to the hospital....not that I expect them to do anything but my school requires documentation from the hospital as I am missing another day! -...

Hi Sharon, thanks hopefully weigh in day is nice to me. still feeling very poorly managed to keep down a bowl of cereal and 2 apples for half of the day - then ended up getting really sick :( not exactly sure how i'm suppose to go back tomorrow like this - but the hsopital seems to think its...

don't be discouraged... :) - you could be gaining muscle weight ! how much water are you drinking on a daily basis ? - depending on what the weather is like there should reflect on what temp the water you are drinking should be...for example if its hot/warm weather - you should be drinking warm...

Good Morning Everyone, while I had a very good day yesterday....I had a horrible night and back to feeling quite poorly - but i'll be fine and hopefully ready to go back to work tomorrow. Yesterday I managed to keep down water and some fruit and was slightly naughty and had a piece of...

feeling a little better today have been called into work so shall have to go :-( ...... if i could get rid of this headache Malaria brings with it I would be happy! jumped on the scales and it showed 233 :) - which is 22 pound lost in 7 weeks - very pleased with that - but of course I can't...

will try the rice

i've tried the plain toast :( - that didn't work either - so water it is

hope everyone is ok - so far i've managed to keep down 2 b ottles of water...pasta didn't go over well last night

i really can't :) less then 5 mths to go and i wish it was tomorrow :P

hehe :) my hair is farrrr from short :) I have been thinking half up half down - i have pics of my veil and tiara on my fb if you wanna have a look Richard is very traditional therefore he wants me to have the veil covering my face - which is what i wnted anyways - so i think half up half down...

and they did give me an anti-sickness needle - haven't gotten sick but feeling quite nauseous

trying to relax now and figure out what I should do with my long hair for my wedding - up or down curls or straightened etc etc

still feeling quite horrible - but not befriending the bathroom as much now - I am assuming its because of the injection they gave me earlier.

going to try and keep down pasta - i'm craving it.

thanks Rach :)

how do I put pictures on here?

thanks Kelly - I am off work until Monday so I won't be doing to much over the next few days - bed and reading books to finish my masters

thank you :) i'm waiting for richard to call so i can take a nap

thank you everyone... i can't say I am ok unfortunantly its worse than I thought....they wanted to admit me but I wouldn't let them...its probably more so the fact that I am white then the fact that I am quite sick that they wanted to admit me I will get much better quicker with rest in my own...

starting to get ready for the hospital now. will update when I get back

ok well i didn't make it through the door to even go to work - so richard has gone i'm going back to bed and will have to go when I wake up!

i did try some pepsi light - has made me very sick attempting to go to work so Richard doesn't make me go to the hospital....fingers crossed that I make it through the day!

we tried to get some - no where to be found :( - i've frozen some apple juice mixed with half water to see if that will work ok.....feeling soo poorly :( - prob cause I am dehydrated normally i drink 10 bottles a day and none today is horrid

can't even keep my water down :(

a week or 2 - I truly hope that it does not take that long

i didn't go - talked richard out of it - but he says i have to go in the morning if i do't go to work - i think i'd rather suffer through work then to be at the hospital!!!

well its probably cause i am a wimp :) they will want to do blood work and it takes for ever to get blood from me honestly sometimes I have to be poked to or 3 times - the last time I got it done there - they made me passout - they put an iv in my arm and it wasn't even in a vein so the fluids...

me to I am very excited - ricahrd bought me a pair of pants from england a size 20 - and I though that a size 20 in England was the same as a size 22 in canada but I was wrong its actually smaller - so now they are the only pair of pants that I have that is no huge and baggy on me :P - I am...

thank you Richard has just send me a msg - says he wants me to go to the hospital - I am trying to talk him out of it! - hospitals here are very scary! - I am sure I will be fine oh mys

great job Sarah!! 2 pounds in one day? or 20 pounds throughout the week?

richard doesn't even want me to get out of bed today - so i guess i'll listen 5 mths from today and i'll be walking down the aisle

guess i won't be going for a 40 min walk today :-(

thank you! :) i just got your invite on fb and accepted! i have given richard a list of things to go to the store for - so he might be able to pick something up for me in the lollie department! i feel so good that I can fit in a size 18! - my goal now is to fit in a size 16 for when we get to...

how are you doing Kelly?

Hi Sarah!! - how are you doing :-)

thanks :( - no such luck with the nurse - but I have been to the chemist so once I stop befriending the toilet I can start taking them and it should start helping.... won't be eating anything today unless I manage to get better by this afternoon - I keep trying to sip on some water - not...

weight watchers is brilliant i am doing it along with the xenical for a quick find of points you can use Weight Watchers Points List it would be great if you can get yourself a new pro point pedometer - they are wonderful things and helps you keep motivated - you can even gain extra points if...

no luck with the driver hes 2 hours away for some reason so wont go to the hospital night will see a school nurse tomorrow.

def. dont think i'll be going to work tomorrow

yes good idea rach i think im going to have to wake richard and have him call the driver to bring me to the hospital!

i am such a serial weighter to - it doesn't drive me nuts though - I understand the fact that we fluctuate during the day :) - and i only count monday mornings as the real weigh in numbers make sure you are drinking plenty of water - I drink at least 4.5 L's a day - but I am in a very hot...

ok for some reason it wont let me give you my email address :S lets try it this way gumdrops40 at hotmail dot come :)

that is exactly what I tell him :) and i do have facebook i am assuming it would be easier for you to find me under my email its - [email protected]? or jessica warren its a picture of me and my 2 look alikes and cousin :) - i'm one of a triplet you know :)

thanks guys!!! aww 28 :) - i bet he is beautiful to come to think of it - I've seen one horse here and he was in horrid shape he was walking up and down the street by the mall we go to - I remember telling richard I wish we could take him home - if we had room I would have taken him - richards...

its really bad :( there is stuff i can take that makes it go dormant again - but it takes a full week for it to kick in :( bah :( and it was doing really well to the joys of living overseas

sleep isn't working I am in serious pain - and it def. is the Malaria :-( Bah! - once you get it you can't get rid of it - sometimes It flares up every week - other times it can lay dorment for mths - this is the first flare up since December - but it is horrible - I feel like my tummy is about...

just did a 35 min walk malaria is bothering me today which totally sucks :( back to work tomorrow goodnight!!!

I think I shall :) I am already on a lookout for a place to go riding when I get to England :) - Richard in forms me that there is a lot of them around :P I used to have a horse - his name was Trigger - full bread mustang :) - he was beautiful and soooo gentle :) - I loved him

you have horses! I wish I could ride here in Africa- but there is no horses - :(

thank you :) - I am sure it will be nice :) I manged do 15 mins on the bike last night - so maybe i'll be able to do 20 mins tonight :) hope all is well?

good morning :-) I am def. feeling a lot lighter this morning as well :-) the scale has said 236.6 so I am happy with that of course - but I won't be counting that until Monday when hopefully its a little more lower then that :-) have to go into work today - so will be walking - i won't be...

I def. like the lower weight :P

i guess we shall see what it says in the morning :P

yep they normally are right on - i hadn't gone to the bathroom this morning when I weighed - so maybe that is why ?

just hopped on the scales - i was 240 this morning - and now I am 233.4 - which one do I believe?

thank you :)

got to the healthy stage on my pedometer - and got .5 extra point - i also did 15 mins on the bike but it didn't register on the pedometer :-( as activity for some reason :( oh well :)

off for a walk :) - lets see if i can gain any points for weekly allowance :)

thanks guys :) - i'm sure this week will be better then the last :P - today is the only day this week that I have to eat out thankfully! - so i can do much healthier stuff when i'm cooking for myself. movie was great - can't remember what it was called now! - even got free popcorn and a drink -...

i am a serial weightier - if I am anywhere near the scales i'm jumping on it ever hour :P - lol but I only count what I see on Monday mornings as the true results!

all is well here :-) the school I teach at here in Africa has just started half term - but we only get 2 days off - which is fine really as the government had closed down all schools here for a full 6 weeks after the christmas break. the chemist are usually able to sort things out :) but...

Hi Kelly, you'll be very encouraged when you weigh in next mth and you see the results :) make sure fruit and water and veggies are a big part of your diet :) and fiber is great to have as well - when I was in canada before I came here to africa because of my IBS I used to take a Metamucil...

thank you Kelly :) I am hoping for a little bit more of a loss next week - or at least some inch loss :)

thank you :)

Good Morning Everyone, hope all is well with you. according to the scales I have had a lost of 1.6 pounds which I am happy with - but slightly sad with as well - I was hoping to do much better than that this week - but now its a new week and I can do better this week (fingers crossed) nothing...

me too :)

bloating seems to have subsided for now which is very nice :) I guess time will tell tomorrow when I weigh in to see how well I am doing :)

hi Everyone, I have been doing weight watchers for 6 weeks now the first 3 weeks was weight watchers alone the last 3 I have joined it with xenical and so far so good I purchased the new pedometer and i'm just wondering how many steps do you have to take to get to the healthy level? and does...

how many steps do you need to take to get to the healthy point?

Hi Kelly - you probably are not drinking enough water - water would help you get rid of the constipation - i drink 4-6 L of water a day - granted I am in a hot country - but even when I am in Canada I drink 3-4 a day - so try and up the water it will help a lot.

Hi Kelly - I have not had times like that - but constipation is one of the side effects of xenical - so I wouldn't imagine it on heard of - how much water do you drink a day? and are you eating things that have fiber in it?

its really not that little of calories though 31 points - 1 point equals 50 calories - I thought it was way less then that at the with the new WW system - but that has stayed the same so 31x50 =1550 calories - which is more then enough - some days I feel overly stuffed and I really don't like...

I shall do so if I ever get home :) - we are stuck in traffic!!! the choir here is HUGE - at least 2000 people in it so you can imagine how good it is :) - love it :) I used to lead a choir in my home church in Newfoundland - but it was only like 40 people :P

i do get all my calories - so i guess that is why I have energy :) - I can't even sleep in anymore lol :) church was great :) - I really love the choir here! I am not home yet - still driving home from church! not sure what Richard and I will do might take a walk to the zoo around the corner.

i know it doesn't seem like much - but everything is weight out on my scales - and i'm allowed 31 points a day - and thats what I have :) i don't normally have a snack - if i do get hungry i'll have a biscuit :)

morning :) - exciting to meet you new comers :) make sure you drink plenty of water - it will help with your hungry pangs as well. i don't have much of a sweet tooth - so I don't have to do anything with that..... Fruit is wonderful - so enjoy it :) I am doing weight watchers along with the...

forgot to add that yesterday I bought a weightwatchers pedometer :) - very exciting :)

ok on the way to church now - driving so its going to take a couple hours to get there (i know its crazy) anyways for Breakfast - I had honey loop cereal with low fat milk Lunch - I have in my bag to eat on the way home from church :-) - 1 Pear, 1 Plum (they are finally ripe here) and 1 Apple...

welcome Kelly :-) I am getting ready to go to church - but will comment a little later :)

oh yes - i eat fruit everyday and veggies everyday

oh yes - i eat fruit everyday and veggies everyday

oh then i won't be starting lol ! it is 2 40 - so an early evening out - but its going to take 2 hours to get there or more.

yes out again lol :) - on the way now :) - good thing cause i'm hungry! and i don't eat much bread - but I guess I could start :)

I'm still very bloated so the inches are totally off :( - but Monday is still 2 days away so things may change by then! Richard again has said we need to go out for dinner (joys of marrying the boss) - but were going to the restaurant that does wonderful grilled chicken - so I will enjoy that...

thank you :) I think my heart needs to turn to stone in some cases - some of the stuff here I deal with is very upsetting! not doing much walking around today as its just parent teacher meetings til 1 - but I will do the bike this afternoon I think :) how are you feeling? according to the...

walk this morning was lovely :)

I do hope they learn :-) so far so good - they are so sweet the ones I teach are 8-12 so they are not that old....the ones I counsel are 5-12 so some of them are even younger then those I teach. walking to school tomorrow because our driver didn't get home until 1 am last night and we thought...

thank you :)

exactly and what do you think they are being tuaght by beating beat half to death - nothing - its no wonder they act up in school here every now and then. my classes start with hugs :) - they are just so sweet

it certainly adds stress - tomorrow is parent teacher meetings - so I have a lot to deal with tomorrow yay !

exactly children will learn from appropriate punishment - not abuse.... it is scary some of the issues that I deal with here - and its even scarier dealing with the parents! - but I guess that is their culture the younger generation seems to be changing somewhat its the older ones that are just...

well its not that I disagree with a "spanking" i do disagree with a child being beat with a cane.(there is a biggg difference) .....in my school you can discipline a child as you see fit as long as it isn't humiliating, demeaning or harmful to the child....in Canada your not even allowed to keep...

instead of my stirfry for supper - i had a bowl of cereal - too tired to cook - and my tummy is in knots.

i usually just talk very quietly - when i am upset - then they figure it out - and then they change - i only get upset once and they never do it again :)

fired *

I do do a lot of walking around in the day time :) - even more now that I am more conscious about I am doing! In my school they no longer do so, as my FH completely disagrees with it! (as do I)- but we still get the odd notes from the parents saying you should beat my child! - and i mean...

lol they dont like it when i'm disappointed in them :-0 it works much better then yelling and screaming at them (that would be the African way - or to beat them as well!!)

Slow Walking Burns More Calories, Easier on Joints

would you classify walking around a classroom as exercise? i mean its not brisk but i teach anywhere from 5 - 11 classes a day and i'm walking around the school as well as up and down to get to them

stressful day here - the kids are being unruly- their classroom teacher is new so they think they can they can walk over her - so now i'm taking over so she can go on stress leave - time to turn into mean Miss Jessica!

slow is better :) - but a slow lost will come once we get smaller - the bigger you are the more you lose in the beginning is what my doctor told me and yes I think they are rich tea biscuits....but they just say Coasters on the pack..... I will take my measurements today as well once I get...

anyone know how many calories/fat are in coaster buiscuits ? - i can't find it online and its not on the pkg

Morning Rach :) I am hoping to be 238 by Monday - that means a 4 pound loss between now and Monday - its possible that I still have a lot of water wait on as I was feeling quite bloated this morning before I hopped on the scale.

jumped on the scales and I am still 241 - but thats better then 245 :-) walking to and from school today as Richard is working at the other campus today - and taking the car :-) 3 more days to go to lose a couple of pounds fingers crossed :-) that it happens :-) Breakfast - Bran Flakes mmm...

supper was good :) but i'm still feeling bloated which isn't fun - and according to the scales i'm 4 pounds heavier then I was this morning - grrr - will prob be lower in the morning though.

thank you :)

richard wants tog o out tonight - but according to WW points - the Chinese food I enjoy is not high in points :) and nor is it high in fat :)

hehe whoops :) - i need to find a place here that would sell it - hopefully it doesn't prove to difficult

ill have to try the mint :)

ty :)

I agree :) any tips on getting rid of feeling bloated

thank you :) i am truly hoping so :) you can do it too!!!

thanks :) - I am really hoping to lose more then 2 pounds this week - I am really aiming for 3-4 pounds a week in order to reach my goal on time!

is the xenical still working if you don't see the orange oil?

Good Morning Everyone, not feeling well today so only managed to get 1 1/2 bites of cereal into me! - I had already taken the xenical so hopefully that doesn't affect anything! lunch is Fruit - hopefully by then I will be able to eat!! supper will be a stirfry of sorts. so far this week I...

mine is just plain though - no butter!

its 3gs per 100

is popcorn a good snack or a bad one ?

thanks about to go shopping for fruit and water :)

wonderful :) kids are being well behaved today :-) which is nice :) - off to teach my lessons for the next 2 hours :)

then you need to either go to Newfoundland, New Brunswick of PEI :) I recommend Newfoundland - but I am slightly bias :P

i am from Newfoundland Canada :-)

It will be my first time spending any time in england :)

we are coming on the 16th of april :) my FH is english :)- we r going to kettering

its never chilly here :P haha :) - the summer weather in canada will be nice - plus the spring weather in England will be a nice break as well !

thanks me too - I usually do get sick around this time do to the overly hot weather at the moment but it doesn't last long which is nice :-)

I'm thinking that that may be the problem by the end of the week it will be over - it was a long time coming - which is another symptom of the pill - but really its worth it in the long run if the weight continues to come off!

Sarah by July 9th I would like to have at least 50 pounds gone (to fit in my wedding dress) - would be verrrrrry happy if i could get more off..... i've lost 14 so far the first 3 weeks of the diet was without the xenical - last 2 weeks were I am now into my 3 week so time will tell how...

Morning Everyone, hope all is well today. Breakfast - Cereal Lunch - Fruit Supper - Baked Chicken with Roast Potatoes not feeling well today - very bad cramps - but I don't think its from the pills - I do think its from my Malaria or TOM..... really excited to see what my results are at the...

that makes sense :)

yes :) we are going to england for easter so I shall go to some shops I hope!!! now for my next question have you heard of not eating after 7pm? - I hardly get the chance to have supper before then because of work - would I lose more weight if I don't eat after then ?

I think thats a great ide a :) now to get my FH to agree :P

thanks Rach :) - i may end up getting a new dress regardless to save on the alterations if need be.

I will send along the well wishes :) I am still feeling quite stressed about things with my wedding dress - I don't know whats going to happened if the dress needs alterations - I fly to Newfoundland on the 9th of July my wedding is on the 23rd - so I won't have enough time to get things done...

yes that is for sure .... weight loss....wedding....honeymoon....baby ..... moving :)

yes - the baby is the most exciting part :) - we are hoping to conceive right after the wedding - though it probably will take a little longer then one mth of trying as i have pcos

thank you :) we are excited

we will be moving in July of 2012 (if we don't renew our contracts here) - Richard has just sent off his application letter for a job in Armenia - it doesn't start til Sept of 2012 - but they wanted the applications by the end of this mth - and he'll know by the end of April if he gets it or...

:) sounds good I want a puppy - my FH doesn't want to get one here in Africa so we are waiting until we move on to another country. but having a puppy to walk would make walking much more better :P

so far so good no suffering :-) just got back from a 15 min walk - will do 15 more mins on the bike this evening - can't do to much on it right now because of my back :-( Breakfast - Cereal! Lunch - 2 Apples and some grapes Supper - pasta with minced chicken hows everyone doing today ?

may suffer a little tomorrow - but its a holiday so I don't have to go to work :)

it was great and i didn't go over my points :)

thanks :-) supper went well 4 spring rolls :-) a piece of grilled chicken and a handfull of chips and 2 bottles of moutain dew

thanks Rach - you guys are great :-)

wow thanks thats great :) I am only into my third week now (on Friday it will be three weeks) with the xenical so I think by week 5 with me to I should have had a significant loss (more then I am now) or at least that is the hope - I shall be trying this mixture - the only thing is I'm going to...

Rach 28 pounds > in how long of a time again? that is wonderful!!

what is cinnamon, honey and water suppose to do ? and what is the mixture your suppose to make? etc

yes I haven't even told them about my weight loss (my sisters know) but my mother, father etc doesn't so they shall be surprised when they see me in July i think :) I will be very happy when I can look in the mirror and see that I have lost some! - so far I can't tell yet. how many pounds...

I will post them on here :) - the wedding is July 23rd but I want to have the weight off by the 9th as it is the day I go back to Canada :) - and I want my family to be surprised :) plus I have to do my fitting on the 11th :)

2 pounds is a loss - which I am happy with :) next week will possibly be better - If I can lose 3 pounds aweek from hear on out til the 9th of July I will meet my goal and be able to fit in my wedding dress nicely!

oh and regards to the secret of the potatoes - he par boils them - sticks them in the casserol dish - and lets them turn crispy under the oven flame - apparently he says they wouldn't turn out as nice if we didn't have a propane stove!

Good Morning Everyone, Official weigh in 2 pound lost - making me reach my first stone lost :) - very please with that but sorta a little disheartened because people seem to be losing more then 2 pounds on xenical a week, maybe this coming week will be better with the scales - esp as I have...

i shall try and do so :)

not even 1 cal spray :) - he can't have oil :)

mmm sounds so good :) my FH doesn't actually use oil to roast the potatoes :) - don't know how he does it he won't tell me :)

i do love Pasta i've just been told so often to not eat it because of the starch! i'll def . be eating more of it now :) i do enjoy potatoes as well my FH makes the best roasted potatoes on earth :P

I maybe eat Pasta once a week - and bread once every two weeks - should I be eating more?

official weigh in is tomorrow :) - I just like jumping on the scales daily :P i am still very bloated so I am sorta blaming it on that! is it possible that I could be drinking to much water ?

I wore my favorite african dress to church this morning - I think It will be the last time I wear it til I get it tailored as it is way to big :)

official weigh in is tomorrow :) - I just like jumping on the scales daily :P i am still very bloated so I am sorta blaming it on that! is it possible that I could be drinking to much water ?

good morning guys :) - according to the scales I have no lost anything this week :-( - oh well there is always next week :)

so much for doing the bike today - could only manage a little over 5 mins thanks to my back playing up :-( - at least I walked to and from school today - I guess we'll see if i've lost any weight on Monday - so disapointed

I do enjoy walking in the mornings :) - it is much cooler - this evening will be boiling but at least I can take a shower once I get in the door and then hop on the bike awhile after. and yes the kid seems to get his own way - the parent will probably complain to my FH about the situation - the...

Good Morning Everyone, Trust everyone has a great night! Yesterday ended with supper out - my FH was in a meeting for 5 hours so he didn't get out until 8pm so he was very hungry by time he finished so we went out for supper and I had 2 veggie spring rolls and 2 meat spring rolls along with a...

thank you :) hot dog - usually doesn't happen - but it was all that they were serving and I was hungry :) - should have brought my fruit with me :P I will prob have some fruit and green salad for supper :-)

hey all :) Just got back from our annual sports day celebrations at my school :) - went really well and I managed to get the silver metal in the teachers race :-) don't ask me how i did that when all the teachers are skinny minnys :P anyways food wise its been a little off cereal for...

NP :-)

opps should have added that I got that off the website which was trying to advise people on building muscle :)

Cardiovascular work will rob you of muscle gains. Yes if your goal is to lose fat you should do cardio but make sure it is: (a) Performed immediately after your weight training (b) ‘High Intensity Interval Training’ form of cardio for a maximum of 20 minutes. The reason that too much...

hi there - for exercise I do 30 mins on the bike 5-6 days a week....so i've been told that as its cardio and not weight training that I shouldn't build up MM to fast i still have 43 pounds to go before my goal for July 9th! and then an additional 60 pounds after my wedding I will have only...

i think with the weight watcher points i'm eating 1200-1300 cals a day

not at all offended :-) is there a way I can PM you the answers to your questions

I visited my doctor yesterday to talk to him about other issues I am having with my migraines and he has said to up the xenical to for times a day instead of 3 - but from what I have read taking more then 3 a day doesn't have any extra effect....so should I listen to him?

just had a little snack of hobnobs oat biscuits :) - don't normally have snacks

just did a BMR count and according to get I need to consume 1000 calories a day in order to lose the weight - so I am def. eating that amount of calories - no worries there!

hey guys :-) thanks for the comments :-) don't worry I am eating enough - I follow WW and I eat my daily points which right now is 39 daily points along with 49 weekly points. it may not sound like a lot but I am SOOOO stuffed when I finish eating for the day. but any suggestions are...

Good Morning Everyone! Today will pretty much the same thing :-) Breakfast - had some cereal Lunch - I will have Fruit Supper - Pasta or Rice with Chicken legs - or chopped up Chicken for a stir fry with veggies :P according to the scales I have not lost anything so far this week :-( and I...

waist - not west :S

i've lost inches around my west - but nothing around my hips - i'm still bloated - so i guess that could be what it is!

nope - there doesn't seem to be any other forums out there - that is so supportive :)

Rach :) I am one hundred percent positive that there can not be any babies yet :P - haha :-) but I have been stressed and worried a lot about the wedding - so that could be the problem as well. none of my clothes are fitting right anymore so I know that I must be doing something right :)...

yes nothing wrong with asking for a little help :) - you'll feel much better for it. Doctors always seem to be scary to see - but the purpose of them is to ensure you are healthy - and weight is a big thing in regards to your health!

cereal for breakfast :) 2 pears 2 apples for lunch :) and Pasta with minced chicken for supper - with a little bit of black bean sauce. mixed in with 30 mins on the bike hope i see wonderful results on Monday. still have no started my TOTM - so I am assuming the pills have messed up my...

i hope you get a pleasant surprise :) and no I have never been - but my FH has and wants to take me there! - so I shall be coming :) - excited about it to!
