well i did have about an hour between the sausages so didnt quite eat them in one sitting - lol
I have now emerged from the Noddy bubbles with clean hair thanks to ds!
Just had a hot banana shake - yum! Its so weird i can go all day without feeling hungry and then when i start eating during the evening i get more peckish as i go along!
I've started having an options chocolate drink in the evening which is abit naughty but they are scrummy.

hope you've recovered from your shopping trip now Tara!
Just having a cup of coffee (still having the little bit of full fat milk in it but i've worked out its only 20 cals and thats worth it to me!).
DS has dancing class this morning so hopefully he'll get through it all without me having to dance with him which means i'll be able to an hours peace reading my book
We'll pop round my mum's later and then just chill out this afternoon i think. Maybe i'll tackle that hill walk again if i'm feeling particularly energetic.
What you up to today hun?

wow you two are really so inspiring - - i am SOOO desperate to be at the bottom end of the 9s or the top of the 8s that i shall now read your comments every day for motivation!
cant believe that one of my reasons to stick to ss /aam/ 790 is so that i can get to the stage where i can have quorn sausages and pickled cabbage! sounds delish! lol
as for mens christmas shopping - - i need serious help with this and might starts a new thread for ideas - - men are just generally hard to buy for arent they? why cant they get all excited about smellies, nice knickers, choccies and fluffy new bathrobes the way we do every year?

Hey slushy - nice to see you xx
I'm glad our posts are helping. This thread is probably quite useful for people working up the plans because they can see what to expect - the highs and the lows and hopefully learn from our mistakes!(and what we find works ofcourse)
Good idea to start a thread on mens presents. My dh is so hard to buy for coz firstly he says he never wants a present and genuinely isnt bothered if i dont get him anything (he's Turkish so xmas doesnt really mean anything for him) and secondly he's not really into anything. He likes gadgety bits - ipods etc but he's got everything! He likes clothes but is very particular - omg what a nitemare - start that thread!!!!

Hi Tara
hows your day going? ds only managed 15 mins of dance class before he told the teacher he wanted his mummy! I went in the class with him but he just wasnt in the mood today so we left early. I dont want him to go if he doesnt enjoy it but he said he wanted to go again next week so we'll see how it goes. The teacher suggested maybe he does half the class (tap or jazz) rather than the whole thing as an hour is quite alot for a 2 1/2 year old. We'll try that next week!
Went to my mums for a peppermint tea and then back home to some paperwork Got abit done but still loads to do. ds has just gone down for a nap which is quite good because i'm thinking of taking him to a firework display this evening. He should be quite lively again by then!
Feeling abit peckish today - its weird isnt it how some days you are just hungrier than others? Already had an apple, 2 plums and some blueberries but no shakes/bars. I try to leave my first shake as late as poss now so that i can get through the evening!
I've already done 3 1/2 litres! I seem to have got a really good system going now - i drink 1/2 litre at a time all in one go when i go into the kitchen and i'm finding it much easier.
I'm reading the five people you meet in heaven. Its weird coz Maggie started a thread on it earlier! I'm also reading the chocolate lovers club (i always seem to have a couple of books on the go!)
Right, i'm going to get some more paperwork done now

aaaa bless him only managing 15 mins, but your right not to force him to do it,but will keep my fingers crossed for next week!!
I have never tried the peppermint tea, i did but a box a couple of weeks ago but just havent got round to trying it yet, my coffee addiction is to strong me thinks lol, get to drink even more coffee by spitting a shake!! lol,
your doing fabaroony with your water huni, i have only had 2ltrs so far today,but will get another 2 done b4 bed
I too am hungrier today but have just got home from walking around the highstreet then a 30 min walk home!!
the book sounds like it could be intresting, did just have a glance at the thread maggie has done about it,think i will have to keep an eye out for it as i am always looking for something new to read,
sounds like a great idea to take your ds to a firework display tonight, i loved taking mine to proper displays when they were little,

well done on the walk hun - i didnt get up that hill today too tired!
Try the peppermint tea, its really nice. It took me a while to get used to it but now i usually have one cup per day just for a change.
Feeling abit peculiar at the moment - just had a tetra as i was hungry. Got abit of a dizzy spell so just going to sit down for a while. I think maybe i guzzled the water too quickly plus my body isnt used to this new 4 litres lark so perhaps its telling me to slow down!
Well, ds still having a nap but i expect to him wake up any second now. Off to fireworks soon after but not looking forward to smelling the wafts from the barbecue tent I know i wont cheat but i would love a burger tonight while watching the fireworks! Perhaps next year!
Its weird isnt it but when i first started i told myself when i got to 9st 7lb i would treat myself to a bag of pic n mix. Well, i'm now past that and I thought about having a bag again after wi on Friday! BUT i'm too scared now! lol , i so dont want to damage the good i've done that i think i'll wait until i reach 9stone.
Have you thought about how you are going to eat when you finish cd? Are you going to follow any particular plan?

i think i will initially calorie count and then ease myself into the ww core plan. I know ww inside out too I think its a really healthy diet but maybe better for maintaining than losing. I've got a low GI cookbook too so will try and get some tips from that.
Well, got to firework display last night at 5.40pm (gates opened at 5.30pm) only to find out they were not having the fireworks until 7pm (it finished at 7.30pm) and needless to say ds didnt last that long! So, we had to come home at 6.30pm It was abit annoying because they obviously were just trying to get people to buy as many burgers and illuminous toys as possible before the fireworks!
Sounds like we both had a little cheat last nite hun! oh well, it wasn't huge so lets put it behind us and get back on track today.
Looks like its going to be a lovely sunny day xx

yeah doing the ww prob is a fairly good idea really, tho when i done ww i never tried the core plan as a i had only ever done the points plan as the core plan wasnt even out when i s1st started ww,b i didnt trust my self with the core plan to actually loose the weight, mind you the last time i done ww which was just b4 i started cd, i done the points thing for about 6wks and only lost about 2lb in that time, where as my h2b lost about 1st! wtf!!!!!those displays are so annoying for that arnt they, the amount they charge for the burgers and other crap they sell and yet ppl will pay it!we stayed home which was no big problem as there were so many fireworks going off it was like being at a display with the added bonus of being nice,cosy and warm in our house! lol, when it were time to send the girls to bed i ended up going up at the same time and taking my 10yrold dd into my bed with me as she so hates the noise of fireworks it reaaly does scare her yet the actuall firework she likes, shame they dont do noiseless ones then she would be one happy little bunnie As for our blip we both had last night, think its just a case of we can not live like 100% siants at goal we have to have some form of life and have things like treats in moderation,one of the reasons i lowerd my goal was so that i had a bit of play room with my weight and could start to really tighten the rains if the weight sterted to creep back up to 9st!

cant believe the coincidence that youre discussing this just as i was asking over on the daily thread!
ww and gi both sound sensible plans to me
however i think id have to go gi as when i did ww points i was stupid and irresponsible and used all my points on twiglets and refreshers and ww cakes LOL instead of eating lots of good stuff
i am hoping my whole attitude to food will change by the time i am at goal and have worked up through the plans though
do you think yours have?

I do think in genral mine have changed to a degree slushy,on the whole i would now much rather something good rather than something bad but a little bit of bad in moderation should be ok as long as we keep a check on our overall eating habbits from now on, a couple of weeks ago i really couldnt be botherd to stand there and do my self a proper dinner that wouldnt have taken more than 20-30 mins in total to prep,cook,and serve,so i did myself a small pizza,sat and eat it and felt like i soo shoulda done something good and healthy as did not enjoy it very much as i were eating it!!

yea i'm the same. I think a lot of my attitude and thinking to food has changed but i still have those weak moments. Doing ss for 5 weeks at the start really sorted out some issues for me and I don't think of food now as a comforter whereas before i was a massive comfort eater. Now i'm addicted to online shopping and will pop on ebay and buy something to cheer myself up yes, its more expensive but even buying just a little thing is nice!
I'm aiming to be good during the week and have a few treats at the weekend when i'm at goal. I really want to have one day every few weeks when i can eat pretty much what i want.
I'm the same as Tara in that i have lowered my goal to 9stone so that i have a few pounds to play with. It means if i put on a few after a night out or whatever it wont matter and i can just lose them again with a few strict days afterwards.

hi Tara and Jo and Slushy
Hope you don't mind me lurking on here. I definitely don't deserve to be in here yet but it's interesting and you've done fantastically well losing the weight
I can't ever imagine weighing under 10 stone, which is why my goal is 10.5 stone but it's interesting that you've lowered your goals as you've got there.
This will be the 3rd major time I've lost loads of weight and I HAVE to keep it off this time when I get to goal, so I'm going to keep lurking and pick up tips from you lovely girlies if that's ok?

thanks Tara
I don't know anything about SW or WW but I am a calorie whizz and that's probably how I'm going to have to keep the weight off once I get to goal.
I know my problem is/was that I eat too much and I love all the wrong things, so I have to make a choice. Do I put myself through all the effort of losing weight AGAIN, then put the entire lot back on again, or do I stop being a pig and accept I can never eat everything I want to and stay slimmer

I know which i would prefrer on that score huni especially after the last few months of shifting this darn weight lol, but hay as me n the others said earlier a little bit of naughty now and again! probally not the right attitued but at the end of the day can we all live like saints all of the time?? spose we just have to be good & carefull 99.9% of the time?
