Good morning all,
Desperately wiping sleep from my eyes and trying to wake up properly, having a zombie morning.....
On a positive note though, i had my hair cut yesterday for the first time in about 10months! I am thrilled, gone from long and scarecrow like to layered shoulder bob, with colour put in too. Makes me feel like a new woman. Funny how the weight loss just makes you much more interested in your appearance again, i had let myself go.... May go and invest in some new straighteners today, shampoo and stuff - any excuse to shop.
Going to have a good day today, loss seems to be going in the right direction since WI on wednesday. Just steeling myself to manage the first pint of water, just too flaming cold....
Hope everyone has a great day! xx

Morning all,
I am full of a nasty cold and feel like death warmed up. I'm out of ketosis too...I had a lemsip last night - my thoughts then were "when your ill, you're ill" - I still kind of think that, but I am still ss'ing so can't be much damage, I hope.
Despite being unwell, I have just put 1 of about 5 loads of washing on - oh the joys! Who'd have thought anyone would get 'excited' about using a new washing machine!! (Installed yesterday)
Today I plan on being a home bunny
Although the sun is shining, I feel like I want to stay at home, blowing my nose and feeling grim while watching tv - the dreaded couch potato is on her return! Temporarily, I wish to add, while I fight this awful cold.
I'll pop in and out today to check up on you all.
Blingbabe - thanks for your rep
Pebble - ((Hugs)) I hope you aren't punishing yourself too much. You need to do what is right for you. Some people are just not suited to cd/ll kind of VLCD diets. My Aunt tried it 4 times, and ended up doing ww (yep, it took her longer to loose the weight but she was happier eating) The most important person is you pebble, do what your body/head says is best.
LisaLuLu - Hope your day is good hun.
Happy Saturday everyone, keep glugging the water.
Hugs x x x

well done alexice - that's fantastic!!!
i'm chugging my water and am pretty pleased, because it's Saturday - which means FRIDAY is over! I always find fridays really hard because it's a usually a day when i finish work, grab loads of food (choccies, crisps and dip) and beer, and sit in front of the tv all night munching!! it wasn't quite the same drinking my water and having my vanilla shake but oh well - it'll all be worth it in the end!
i have loads of studying to do today hope everybody is having a more exciting day than me hahaha !

Sorry to hear the news about colds, dental problems and school bullies.
I got bullied at senior school in the year before my O levels, thankfully the school was so supportive and dealt with it well. I moved onto a different school (all boys but admitting girls to sixth form) for A levels and could not have been happier, surrounded by a lovely bunch of girls and boys.
Many years later I joined the 'old girls alumnae' and found out that the bullies either went onto very humdrum lifestyles or quite troubled and sad adulthoods. There wasn't a sense of satisfaction about that, just the sad realisation that bullies themselves are such inadequate characters. Hope it gets sorted properly for your daughter witchy, its something that I feel strongly about.
I definitely think that we reduce or stop pampering ourselves when we gain weight - good to hear about the hair dressing treats.
Will check in tommorow, all the best x

Thanks MonRobot
To those with new hair do's - Well done. I want to do something with mine but not sure exactly what so I am going to wait until just after New Year - my birthday is Jan 8th and I will be a bit slimmer by then so it can be a more dramatic change.
I just hope I can last until then cos sometimes I get the urge to have my hair cut and dash off to the nearest hairdressers then do something I regret!

Oooh I'm glad the subject of hair has come into todays thread! I booked in for an appointment on Tuesday a while ago, because next weekend I'm at my cousin's little boys 1st birthday party, and will be seeing family I haven't in a while. I'm wanting a 'new look'. I wondered if anyone would mind having a peek at my recent pic in my albums and perhaps give me some ideas? I was thinking side fringe and cutting the length so it levels out (last time I had layers cut into my hair and deeply regretted it - bad hair day memory...?Thats Me everyday!) Could do with some girls opinions...HB and me not always on the same wave length, if ya see what I mean!!! lol

Hi again,
Just checking out your pics Emma, good god girl- you look amazing! Such a huge change, you must feel fantasic. We've got similar face shape, and i have always had long, thin, naturally wavy/frizzy hair. Have tried short styles in the past but to be honest it was too much like hard work and i didn't feel feminine. I agree that a shoulder bob would suit, maybe with some cut in around the face, maybe a side parting. You still have the option then to either have it wavy or straighten it.
Searched for some straighteners today, I'm trying to be frugal cos i need to save- found some CHI ones in TKMaxx for £20-30. Have come home and done some research and they are very well rated, popular in the states apparrently and are one of their expensive brands, equivalent to our ghd's. So off to buy tomorrow, hope they're as good as they sound.
Hope everyone having a nice evening. I'm off to crash in front of TV before bed and have a lovely vanilla/orange mousse- yummm.....See you all tommorrow xx
