Morning, oh dear, my husband is the same as Gails, I'm going to do Atkins until after Christmas, I've done it before, I just have to drink Vodka instead of Cider and that's fairly easy....pmsl. Anyway my new CDC hasn't called me and I haven't called him for 2 weeks. using up the last of my packs, have about 4 full days worth, and will hen move into atkins. I've done it before so no the rules, it's just sticking to them that's the issue, but I'm sure I can, anyway off to Bolton now so catch up later. Have a good one.

hi all sorry not posted but i was yet again at hospital with DD last night for 5 hours finally got to bed at 2am they did nothing!!!! they needed to take the plaster off as it had dropped and was affecting her knee she was in so much pain at one stage i thought she was going to hyperventilate when we did see the dr they gave her really strong pain killer codine so she was flying which was good as they couldn't take the bloody plaster off till 9am this morning so we were sent home to go back this morning!!!!!! got a new plaster on now but still not happy as this one as slipped a little too!!!!!

Morning, hope you enjoy the party Gail, I'm sure you'll look fantastic. Sorry I've not been around much, been really busy with work..at home for the rest of the week though. Just had 35 bottle of wine delivered (bargain from a friend) £2.50 a bottle, 3 cases of white, 1 red and rose...That should keep me going until Friday at least (only joking) it was just such a good deal DH couldn't refuse after a few pints on Sunday lunch.
Will catch up later.

Afternoon all,
Nice to see people posting.
Sorry you have had another trip to the hospital Gail - have they not put a full foot cast on? I had one when I was younger that was from my thigh to my ankle bone and that kept slipping. Keep on at them, and request a full foot cast if needs be! Can't be having her in unnecessary agony hun.
Percy, your booze bargain sounds great! nice one!

Well, I lost 1.5lb woo hoo! Am now 11 stone 12lb! 26lb off my goal weight of 10 stone! How mad is that! I never would have thought it 2 years ago that I would be nearly 6 stone lighter!

[Percy greenfingers]

What a day, been good on the diet, but the door and phone haven't stopped ringing. Oh well, nearly time to knock off, another 20 mins.
Anyone got any ordeals (I mean anything nice planned) for the weekend? I'm going to do my Christmas shopping after under achieving last weekend and put my tree etc. up. Might even do some baking..
have a good evening.

 

[Percy greenfingers]

Morning, it's a cold and frosty one here in Lincolnshire, we had a power cut in the night, luckily DH got up at 5am to go to the loo, so he set his clock on his phone to get him up at 6am. I however stayed in bed, off he went, I normally get up the same time as him and we have a coffee, however not much point he said as there was no power. So back to sleep I went, woke up at 7.50am, still no power, DS leaves for school at 8am, but he took it all in his stride, managed a shower and a cup of tea, gave him cash for a croissant on the way...And here I am in the dark, no heating, no coffee, no cares. Hopefully it's be off all day. I'll put the fire on, read my book and the battery on my laptop will run out. Only got 2 hours left according to the timing thingy, so we live in hope...
Have a lovely day.
PS> Haven't opened the wine yet..Yea me. (PMSL - as Hannan Montanna would say)

congratulations on your weight loss donna could you let me know what the new plan is on WW i may give it a go but have no classes near me maybe email or om me details when you get time speak later take care everyone still on a high from last night hehe

 

[Percy greenfingers]

I'm so glad you had a lovely time and looked fantastic. It's been a lot of hard work, but it sounds like its been worth it.
Powers back on unfortunatley so just starting work. I haate having no excuses.
I've STS this week, which is fairly amazing, but we won't go into details!

 

[Kippaxmum]

Morning All,
Gail - sounds like you had a fanatastic night. The new plan is called discovery. Its the best bits of points & core mashed together! Seems to work (apparently its been built by the members!) I'll see if I can get an email together for you at some point.

Boo to the power coming back on (in a way) for you Percy. A day in front of the fire with a good book sounds like bliss!

I just want to go back to bed! I've barely slept since Monday with this damned cold/flu. My ears hurt so bad, my lips & nose are sore and poor dh is battered with me thrashing about in bed (but we chuckle at that one) someone send me some get well vibes!

I had a shock last night - found out my friend has lung cancer! She has never touched a cigarette in her life & she's only the same age as me (26!)

[Percy greenfingers]

Morning Donna, It's still on aswell, curse the power companies....Sorry to hear about your friend. My best mate has just got over breast cancer (36) she's got new boobs now and is as happy as larry, so is her husband as she's gone up a couple of sizes! She had a tough time though, you've just got to be there for her good times and bad.....Take care.

 

[Percy greenfingers]

Sunday evening, you must of all been very busy over the weekend...I went into Peterborough this morning, started and finished my Christmas shopping.

 

[gailt39]

[Percy greenfingers]

Hi Irene, I think most of us are having some kind of break for Christmas. Not heard from many of the others. Sorry. I'm doing Atkins and will maybe go back onto CD in the new year but will see how it goes.

Morning everyone else if you log on today. I'm en-route to London for a sales meeting, oh the joy! At lease I managed to get a seat on the train eh..

Hope your all well.

 

[gailt39]

hi all
god looks like we are all really busy well i got weighed unofficially yesterday and i had put on 2lb but when i got weighed today my official day i stayed the same yippeee
god i forgot how hard it is to cope with food and im not coping well

 

[Percy greenfingers]

Morning Gail, 2lb isn't bad considering what you've been through. and then on your official weigh day to stay the same is amazing.
I've been doing Atkins and I have managed to stick 100% so far. Not due to weigh myself until tomorrow, but feel well and have enjoyed eating with the family again, they're even getting they're table manners back !!! LOL.
Was in London yesterday with work, but now at home for the rest of the week, hooray. Had a black coffee so far and have taken some chicken (pop round if your hungry) out of the freezer to cook for later.
Have a good one how's DD?

 

[Kippaxmum]

Hi All,
Gail, well done on STS. According to my scales, I was 11 stone 12 3/4 yesterday and 12 stone 1 3/4 today pmsl. Not a clue what WW scales will say tonight but will let you know.

[Percy greenfingers]

Morning Gail, Keep going your doing everso well. We all know that we need to eat or out body shuts down and hangs on to what it has.
The other thing to consider is enjoying Christmas, it's only really 2 days! Have a couple of chocs, a glass of bailey's then instead of falling asleep on the couch get everyone up and go for a good old fashioned walk.
I'm having bacon and egg for breakfast (grilled), chicken or tuna and green leaves for lunch, and ham or steak or fish for tea with green stir fry veggies. It's working, I feel fine, and I haven't had a drink since Sunday! Good for me..
have a good day
