Hey There Lonely Girl Eddie Holman (I think!)

Well done on the weight loss Gav, that is brilliant half stone award. I started again yesterday had my first weigh in and I hate to say am back almost to where I was 2 years ago:( Only got myself to blame so it is really time to keep focused and no straying off plan! Have started at a new...

Hi Gav Love the title of your new page and reasoning behind it. You sound really focused, am sure you will lose that 2.5 really quickly. I am going back to class next Weds, am looking forward to it as I feel now am ready to start again. Guess we will have to wait until the weather improves...

Hi Gav Happy New Year. I have not stayed on track at all, the weight is creeping on a bit to quickly. I am going back to SW on 15th Jan give me a chance to get rid of the tempting things in the cupboards. Am going to a different class as the consultant at my old one really gives you no...

Hi Gav Just popped in to wish you and your family a very Merry Christmas hope you have a great time. Bin

Happy Christmas hope you all have a brilliant time., and all the very best for 2014. Bin xx

Hello, Got back from Australia last week had a brilliant time, spent a week in Sydney with step daughter and son in law, then went up to see my son for a week, he lives in a lovely place about 20 mins south of Byron Bay, lovely seeing him but I was in pieces at the airport when it came to...

Evening, Hope you had a nice weekend away, sounds really nice. What was the weather like? We had quite strong winds but down here it was nothing like the media had warned us about. I finished the Great South Run in 1hr 55mins, 2 mins slower than last year mostly due to the awful head winds...

Hello, I am still around too. Hope you have a great holiday Diva, plenty of sun sea and relaxing. We fly next Monday for our holiday, and are back on 28th, can not believe it has come round so quick. Did the Great South Run (10 miles) yesterday, finished it in 1hr 55mins, 2 mins slower than...

Morning Gav, Well done Gav, congratulations :D Really pleased for you, the mixed emotions when you cross the line makes all those training sessions worthwhile. When you think of how your leg was a couple of weeks ago it is brilliant, bet your family were so proud. It was quite funny as I was...

Thank you for your Good luck post. Finished it in 1hr 55mins, 2 mins slower than last year but the last 2 miles were a killer it was like hitting a brick wall when you got on the esplanade! Am just glad to get round and at least the rain held off. A good day.

Morning Gav Lets hope the weather is kind to us and the spectators, I keep looking at forecasts. Just hope it is not too windy as the hovercraft stops running if it gets too bad. Can just imagine 100's of people rushing to Fishbourne to catch ferry, then running to start line! Did a last 3.5...

Morning Gav That is great a run with no niggles, really pleased it has all come together after all the problems you had with your calf. You are going to do it no problem:) I did an 8 miler last week and a couple of 3.5 miles. Going to do a gentle 3.5 mile one today, am not going to push it...

Morning, A gain is ok if you know where it has come from and you are expecting it and a lb will come off easy. Am afraid my consultant is not that interested unless you are one of her little group, she used to be really good but as the group got bigger she rarely even says hello to you, I...

Morning, Another week another STS, honestly really am getting fed up now, stuck to plan and did two 3 mile runs and one 8 mile run, not sure what to do next. Unfortunately my consultant is not very good, I would go to another group if one was nearby. Shall just plod on for next couple of weeks...

Hi Gav, How's it going, hope the calf is improving, and you are not so down. Good for you to run as far as the calf will allow then walk, its all about taking part and raising lots of money for charity, times are not important. I am not doing very well diet wise, seem to have come to a...

Hello Girls Kassy Glad all is going well, lovely feeling when you can feel the baby kicking. What a brilliant idea a babymoon sounds lovely. Our doggy visitor went home today the house seems so quiet, she is lovely we are having her in Jan/Feb for three weeks. Diva Bet you cant wait for...

Well done getting back into it. I find evenings the hardest am fine till about 9ish then looking about for things to eat!! Try to keep plenty of fruit around but after a while a hob nob biscuit sounds much nicer than another apple or grapes. Have got my weigh in tomorrow so keeping fingers...

Evening Gav Wow well done with the 5.5lb weight loss. Sorry about your leg it obviously was not the news you wanted. What ever you decide to do just be careful you don't do any long term damage, one thing for sure is that if you walk the course the crowd will be behind you 100% and get you...

Hi Allan Good luck you've taken the hardest step walking back in through the doors, this is my third and last time I hope! Let us know how you get on.

Evening Ladies Kassy Don't worry about the weight, just look after yourself and that little bump. Like you I had never had any thing to do with babies but everything just clicked and as you say instinct kicked in. The house sounds lovely exciting times for you. I would gladly look after your...

Morning Gav, Your food diaries look really good, I am back on track, just got to stay there I have such small losses that I get really disheartened and think what's the point and reach for the biscuits!! Must stay focused. Hope you are still going to talk to me ...... I am a Saints season...

Morning Gav Good luck with the physio, he should be able to give you some good advice, are you a Pompey FC supporter? Shame about the calf supports they sounded like a really good idea. I managed a very gentle training run yesterday on treadmill, am pleased to say the leg held up a little...

Morning Gav Well done on getting it back, your diary looks really nice and healthy. Wish I could get it back, at the moment motivation has gone out the window, really must give myself a good kick up the backside!! Pleased to say Mum is in her new place and apart from some furniture moving and...

Kassy awww a baby girl, lovely name too. How did the house viewing go? Diva Hope Mr D is recovering well from his op, not long now before your beach holiday in Mexico. Shelski Well done on the 8lb loss, wish I could lose some but have come up against a brick wall again, mr motivation has...

Morning. Gav pleased your leg is feeling better, good idea to leave it another week before you start any sort of running. The Great South Run for most people is all about taking part and raising money for charities not how fast you can do it in, so even if you walk part of the course it does...

Oh dear Gav that does not sound good, I hope it is not a grade 2, and that you will be able to re-start gentle training and be ready for the run, keeping fingers crossed for you. Had weigh in knew I had not done well 2lbs on in 2 weeks, so must try and get my diet head back on and try to lose...

Hello Gav Really sorry to hear about your calf, what does the PT think you have actually done? Will keep my fingers crossed it improves quicker than 4 to 6 weeks and you can take part. Have not been running yet am going to try a gentle run on treadmill next week see how I go hopefully it will...

Morning I am still having problems with my leg Gav have not done any training for over a week as even walking I keep getting sharp pains in one of my legs, the other leg has improved so just hoping give it another week and then get myself back into training. My Mum is in the process of...

Evening Gav Well done on your 4.5 weight loss brilliant:) Sorry your motivation has gone AWOL, we cant be 100% all the time so don't let it get to you, just draw a line and start again. I know how you feel as I get like that when the scales just do not shift week after week! It was my calf...

Hi How did you get on with WI. Have got mine tomorrow, lost a lb last week so am hoping for another loss tomorrow. Had a terrible run today my legs just kept seizing up, so had to stop a few times and walk, was not a good training session as I felt quite down when I finished, am not running...

Hello Girls I lost 1lb too this week Diva, I also have small losses but I try to just think positive that these all add up. It just seems to take so long at times. Mexico in November sounds lovely. Glad you are keeping well Kassy look forward to all your baby updates. We are dog sitting at...

Hi Baby_Cakes So glad you had such a good time, it is a lovely place and the Blue Mountains are beautiful. You sound as though you did plenty of sightseeing, I really liked Manly Beach and half the fun was the lovely boat ride from Circular Quay. That is the only problem with holidays you plan...

Hello Keep smiling I know it is so annoying when you have a gain especially if you have been 100%, am sure the scales have a mind of their own at times!! Am going out for a 5 mile run this evening hoping to up it at the weekend to 6. Not looking forward to this evening as it has been so hot...

That's a great run, not sure if I am quite ready for a six miler yet!!

Hello Glad you are all ok. Bella you certainly had lovely weather for your holiday, Dorset is lovely Mr Bin and I love Wareham we had our first holiday together there. You can see the IOW from Muddeford beach. Shelski I had only ever run for a bus before last year when I first did the run. I...

Hi Well 8 weeks today!! How are you doing hope the gout is much better now. I've got the run keeper app too, I really like it, so interesting to read all the stats and breakdowns after a session, I did 5 miles on Friday after work. Do you run parts of the actual course when you train? I run...

Wow well done on the weight loss that is brilliant. Hope the gout is better and you will soon be able to do some more training, it is so annoying when you have to stop training for a while because of illness or injury, I had to stop last year for about 3 weeks and then ease back in gently!! 8...

Hello Everyone My diet at the moment is not too good had a couple of bad weeks but am now back on track and hoping to shift some more before my holiday in November. Have got Great South Run at end of October so have been doing some training for that, but I do find the weather a bit warm for...

Hi Gav Oh no gout that's not good, poor you I have heard it is quite painful. Have to be careful when you start training again as you don't want to overdo it. My son was about the same time as your sister last year. I am finding the running hard going at the moment not sure if it is the...

Hello, I love football too, really pleased the season is now back with us. Am a season ticket holder at Southampton along with my husband and son. Have followed them in premiership, championship, and league 1, but now back up in premiership and looking forward to a great season. Shall be there...

Hi Pompey77Gav, Yes am running for charity, last year my father died so I ran for the local hospice where he spent his last days. This year I am running for the Hampshire & IOW Air Ambulance. I ran it in 1hr 53mins last year, was doing it on my own but got chatting at the start to another...

Evening Ladies, Kassy Baby shower sounds as though it was a good laugh. Have they given you a due date yet? Don't worry about dieting as long as you eat healthily that is the main thing. I put on a stone and half with both my boys, which was surprising as I gave up smoking as soon as I found...

Hello Pompey77Gav I have signed up for Great South Run too, did it last year for the first time and really enjoyed it. Was not bothered about the time I just wanted to finish it which I did, was really pleased as I had only ever run for a bus before!! It is a great feeling when you cross that...

Hi Diva Mexico sounds lovely, yes beach hols are my favourite lots of lazing about doing nothing except eating, drinking and going in for a swim to cool off:D The only thing I have done different in the diet, 3 weeks ago I decided to make sure I drank 2-3 litres of water a day, as I had got...

Welcome back Diva, Glad you had a good time and a 5lb gain is nothing when you are on holiday, that will soon disappear. Yes we are having lovely weather and I am certainly not one of the people complaining I love it, just a shame I have to work would much rather be on the beach or in some...

Wahooo Bella's back, Very quiet on here at the mo, just me and Zesty as Diva is on her hols in UK, and Kassy (Mrs Adonis) is in Mexico on her honeymoon. Sometimes I think it is better to take the weight loss thing slowly otherwise we put to much pressure on ourselves and end up binging. Mine...

Yes we have booked our seats and like you in a row of three, am pretty sure nearly all the seats on airbus are in rows of 3 and the middle row 5 or 6. I used to fly with Quantas a lot when we lived out in Cairo, they were really good, but people who I know have travelled more recently with them...

We are going by Singapore airlines, our longest stop over is two hours too, are you going on the air bus? When we went last time we had 5 hours in Taiwan. Don't worry about the weight loss just go out there and have the best time ever am sure you will have a great time. :)

Enjoy Sydney Baby Cakes, am sure you will have a great time. We are going in November for almost 4 weeks, my step daughter and her husband moved out there 4 years ago, then my youngest son went out there this Jan, so really looking forward to seeing them. We were out there 2 1/2 years ago. We...

Hello Zesty, Hope you had a good girlie day in Brighton, you had lovely weather for it. I have been stuck in at work today managed to get out in the sun for about 20mins at lunchtime. We are off to Poole tomorrow to visit Mr Bins Aunty who was taken into hospital on Monday, she is 86 and has...

Morning Zesty, It looks like it's just you and me for a bit, while Diva is in UK on her hols and Kassy (Mrs Adonis) still away on her honeymoon. Lovely day again down here just a shame am about to go to work, but then have two days off so hoping the sunshine will still be around. How's...

Hello Girls, Hello Diva how's it going. Yes those stairs were ok to start with but after about the 8th trip up armed with boxes, bits of wardrobes and book shelves I was shattered I was glad when we could finally see the back of the van! But when I weighed in last week I had STS which I was...

Hello from a cold and wet Isle of Wight again!! Are we ever going to have a summer, had to put the heating on last night it was so cold have never had heating on at the end of May! Maybe summer is hanging on until Kassy's wedding day when the sun will be shining. I really do hope the sun is...

Hello, Zesty hello I know just how you feel I am not being to good at the moment, I have a couple of days where I am so focused and stay on track, then it all goes to pot and I stray. I get so cross with myself at times. Like you I am awake at silly times of the morning last few mornings have...

Hello Kassy you look as though you had a really good time at your hen night, the photos are really good, what date do you get married certain you said in June but can not remember what day. Don't be hard on yourself you have so much going on at the moment and so many things to think about, as...

Evening Girls, Weigh in tonight I lost half a pound, bit disappointed as I had been really good all week and exercising, must keep looking at the positives, but god am I finding it difficult to shift this time, must be an age thing! Kassy Loved the sunshine wish it would come back quick, as...

Evening Girls. Had WI today and at long last a 1lb off not huge I know but at least it is in the right direction! I must admit I have been a bit more focused this week apart from my bacon baguette at football which is tradition;) I am sure the nice weather is part of the reason I have been more...

Morning Girls Am not doing so good at the moment, but have now booked tickets for holiday in November so hopefully that is going to give me something to aim for. I am finding it so hard to stay focused at the moment. Mind you we were invited out for dinner the other night, it was 3 courses and...

Hello Girls, Just a quickie! Wahoo Kassy great news a baby Kassy or Adonis and plenty of fun trying;) Will have aproper catch up later Bin xx

Hello Girls, Wow Kassy only 10 weeks until your wedding soooo exciting, it seems to have come round so fast. Getting in the exercise mindset is so hard at times I don't think this cold weather helps, as all I want to do when I get home from work is snuggle down in front of the fire. I did go...

Afternoon, Looks like I will be going to the wedding party in jeans and a jumper:mad: could not find anything that liked and if I did like something they did not have it in my size, I hate clothes shopping when you are looking for something specific, I shall have a good old mooch through my...

Morning Girls. Kassy I don,t think anything is wrong with fake flowers, nowadays they look as good as real ones. When I got married first time round my bridesmaids had fake flower posies and hair peices, they could then keep them. My second wedding was very quiet, I did not even carry flowers...

Morning Had WI yesterday STS am ok with that as I was awful over weekend then on Monday went to football straight from work so had a huge bacon baguette outside ground it was yummy:) Must try and get my diet cap back on am finding it so hard at the moment to stay focused. Kassy bet the snow...

Hello Weighed in at SW and as expected had put on 3.5lb but am glad I finally plucked up courage to go as I knew if I left it much longer I would not go back and then the weight would creep back on. Still have not got back into diet mode properly am fine until about 8.00pm and then hungry or...

Evening :) Never got to SW for weigh in this evening friends turned up unexpectedly, so weighed in at home looks as though have STS this week. Kassy Yes I was lucky my cat was very healthy, apart from a bit of artheritis in her old age she very rarely needed to see the vet. I used to have her...

Evening Ladies, Agree with you both about Christmas it has become so commercialised, the shops start selling Christmas stuff so early and then by closing time on Christmas Eve the decorations are down and sale stuff on the shelves, it really annoys me. I have just about finished the present...

Hellooooooo anyone there!! Elicia Hope you and your partner are ok now, thats the only problem with losing weight very quickly it seems to creep back easily, but am sure you will be fine. How long is your course? I should imagine it being quite interesting and good fun, do you do hair as...

Morning Girls, Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr It is so cold this morning! Kassy Well done sticking to your CC, I think it is always difficult to be 100% this time of year. Will try and get a pic of the puppy on here on Sunday, will have to get my son to do it as I have not got a clue!! Like you...

Did some one mention a PARTY wahoo count me in:) Diva I love the snow lucky you I bet it looks lovely, you will have to post some pics for us. We don't get much snow on the Island so when it does arrive everything comes to a standstill schools close etc. STS is good especially as you had such...

Morning Ladies. Kassy Hugs....... sorry you are feeling so low, as Diva says could you go and see the doc and have a chat. Also try to keep talking to the Adonis I know this can be difficult as I tend to shut off completely when I have a low point, but he must be worried and want to help...

Hellooooooooo anyone there? Diva Where have they all gone? It has been so quiet. The indoor market sounds lovely I would have demolished home made choccies and if there was any fudge that would have gone to!! I stayed the same last week too which like you was annoyed about, but after a...

Hello Everyone Spoo82 Yes evening nibbles is a habit I wish I could get out of, I tried eating tea later but that did not work so I save some calories during the day so I can have some crispbreads, philli cheese and some fruit. You say you are limited to what exercise you can do what about...

Hello Diva :) I have been reading about Georgia I think she got down to about 18 stone after going to the camp in America, but she obviously did not have the support and help she needed when she got back. I think she was the carer for her parents but they must have ended up caring for her. She...
