Cheryl- so glad the christening went well, Olivers adorable you sound dead talented with baking, ive decided to make my own wedding cake :giggle: me and marks gonna practise when he's off end of month wish us luck .

Vickiet- glad you feeling more on even keel chick, i know how awful it is. Did you manage to sort your order out? ive missed mine before on a friday but just went down to the post office next day, sat morn to get it. i dunno ifitsany helpbut they usually open up that bit by 645 in morn cos its seperate to actual post office if you can get there before work?

Fearless xx

Hey sweetie I'm good just busy at work and knacketed at night lol
Yup my package finally arrived today so thinking of trying it tomorrow,
How have you been?? Xx

 

[Vickiet]

morning ladies.

Fearless.... have fun at the gym. hope it all goes well. lol'ing at u getting weighed at the gym butt naked. lol

Emma..... I think that's an awesome idea. Obviously there is a risk in starting up a new business in the current financial situation but as long as u are cautious with ur initial outlay and start small and build up, i can see u making it happen.

im back on plan today. im about to have my first pack. opting for a hot meal ( which i rarely do at lunchtime but fancy trying one of the pasta meals ).
i will let u know what i think of it.

Vickie .... are u ok hun? havent heard from u for a couple of days. did ur packs ever arrive?

Hey Cheryl
Im fine thanks yup my packs have arrived finally gonna try them out.
How have you found the packs?? Do you think you will carry on with S&S??? Xc

 

[Vickiet]

Good morning!

You two crack me up! And yes it's official amazing friends crap weight loss support! (she says this tucking into a bacon sarnie! And girls... It's sooooo good!)

So been back at work now since Sunday and as suspected... It's just as crap as I left it two weeks ago :-( unorganised and jumped up seniors... So... Floating an idea here... Michelle and I are thinking about starting our own homecare company... We know the job, we know what upsets clients and frustrates carers and we think that we can make it work... I foresee a lot of late nights, paperwork and unpaid bills! Lol but this may be just what we need to make our lives a better place for us, I hate working for other people so it suits me and it means that Michelle can work her own hours and days do it works around her Fybro as well as Deven.

What do you all think? Xxx

Hey Emma
Think it's a great idea! Obviously I'm
Sure it will be hard work but if it's what you really want then I say go for it xx

HI Girls,

good to see ye vickie

so first day of work, i got there 945pm finished at 5pm didnt have to but was enjoying myself, its great-get first dibs on the stuff that comes in plus 25% discount woot hehe. im absolutely knackered, early nightfor me. im so proud of myself will go into more detail tomorra, im just so tired, me feets killing me! XX

Hey Cheryl

Hey Vickie,
I can honestly say I think s&s is gonna be much much easier to stick to. I love the spicy spaghetti. i sliced up a giant mushroom (flat mushroom) and dry fried it then put it on the plate as a kind of base and put the spicy spag on top. It was gorgeous and i was very surprised.
Last night I had the cottage pie. I added a few splashes of worester sauce and had it with lettuce and cucumber. Again i was impressed although it wasnt quite as nice as the spaghetti.
Love the lemon bar and also the vanilla and almond one.
I think i could live on 3 of the hot meals with one bar to be honest.

hiya hunny.

sounds painful with the doglead. I didnt laugh until u mentioned faceslapping and then i confess i chuckled.
Having a difficult day today.
Why is it I have days that are really easy and i dont have to put much effort in at all and then i have days from hell where all I can think about is food and not salad and veg which i could have anyway. oh no, i want pineapple cake and creme egg ( which simon nicely bought yesterday, thanks a lot simon ) and i want corned beef and cheese toasty or boiled potatoes or some other food that would NOT be good. (sigh)
I hate having days like this. one half of my mind keeps saying ' come off the diet just for one day, have ur treats u want and start again tomorrow' but the sensible side of me knows it really isnt worth it and if i can just get to bedtime without caving in i will feel much better than i would feel if i eat junk from now till bedtime.
Come on Cheryl, take it one hour at a time...... You can do it. ( dont u hate it when people talk about themselves as another person) lol

No, i never did get to a meeting. The fear of going was enough to stop me going and now i live out of the area... oh well.
I took 2 Dulcolax last night.
woke up this morning with pretty bad cramps ( not as bad as last time tho) and i thought to myself ' here we go' and prepared myself for running to the loo....... that wasnt exactly what happened. I did ' go ' but to be honest ive seen bigger cherry tomatoes.
I dont know if this is related to the Dulcolax or not but im now covered ( from head to toe) in a rash. I cant think of what else it can be, other than slim & save and i sure hope it isnt that.
not going to take Dulcolax tonight and see if the rash goes. I will take it again tomorrow and see what happens.
My son is sitting right next to me eating cheese and polony sausage toasties right now. it smells sooooo fricking nice. :sigh:

lol in this house that would be one dead bunny. lol
im gonna have spag bol (s&s) with lettuce and cucumber in about half an hour once oliver goes to bed. He tends to sit and stare at my food and really wants to share it.... i dont mind sharing a big meal but an s&s spag bol....... i dont think so. lol
U can do it babe.
whether it will help or not i dont know but my last time on cd i really struggled to get into it . that first 3 days was a killer and i kept failing over and over so i did myself a 7 day graph and put it on the fridge. i soooo wanted to put a big red X across the first day on it that i found it much easier to complete that first day (and of course once u have succeeded in that first 100% day it gives u a massive feeling of achievement when u go to bed) and then concentrated on putting that second X on.
It took a few graphs before i got the whole seven days in a row but i got closer and closer each time and when i did it it felt like i won an oscar and I drew a massive smiley face across the graph . I kept it on the fridge to show i can and have done it and to remind myself of the way i felt once i did it.

 

[cherylxx]

Thanks hun . Not weighing for 6 weeks? wow. rather u than me. im a real scale hopper, every day and often twice a day. . u might be able to do it ..... i wouldnt have a hope.
One thing i will say with regards to the baby shower..... (this is where i put my weight loss support hat on)......

Last year i was trying to slim down for my sisters wedding as u remember..... well, thanks to me faffing about and constantly telling myself ' i will do better tomorrow' i never got to anywhere near where i wanted to be and (hangs head in shame) although i was her matron of honour i had no choice to wear a different dress to the other bridesmaids.
The bridesmaids dresses were awesome, absolutely gorgeous aubergine dresses and when they ordered them the biggest size they did was a 26 which was ordered for me...... 6 weeks before the wedding they arrived and i was nowhere near close to getting in mine. :cry:. i was heartbroken. there was nothing that could be done. They must have been quite a small 26 as i was a normal dress size 26 and it wasnt even close. I cant begin to tell u how upset i was. i cried for hours (well, weeks really , on and off) . So i had to buy another dress which clearly was nothing like the bridesmaids dresses. My mum told everyone they had sent the wrong size and it was too late to change it but i knew the truth. i failed in the one thing that mattered to me.... to be a true bridesmaid . to be confident and hold my head high knowing i looked good.
When we had the dress rehearsal i hid in the toilets for about 20 minutes breaking my heart crying.
On the wedding day, to me, the one thing that spoils the pictures is the fact that i'm in them.... I dont EVER want to feel that way again.
Dont get to the baby shower feeling like u didnt give ur all babe. u will regret it.... sadly i know from experience.

 

[catdog]

I really am gonna give it my all, i'm gonna take it minute by minute, hour by hour and anytime i want to cheat or binge im gonna post on here. Thinking of it as a six week block may not be as daunting. I know that if i don't lose weight i'll make up an excuse not to go and ide hate myself even more, i wanna go there and feel good and confident more than anything, she's not just having normal baby shower in the house, she's booked a git posh stately home/hall for tea and scones, i dont wanna feel like odd one out and im not gonna go dressed like homeless person as usual!

Theres a book i need to find in the house and tell you about its got a great mantra in it, will have a proper look before bedtime. xx
