Afternoon ladies! I got sabotaged last night! I had made a Thai Green Curry for us all to have at home before going to see Chicago so we could cut the calories but my friend pitched up with all sorts of yummy food including Indonesian pre-packed food that had to be eaten plus a camembert that was oh soo yummy melted with brown bread and cranberry sauce at 1.30am plus there was the wine at the theatre - didn't have that much really oh well Thai Green Curry tonight and Natty - after this I am going on the cross trainer! Wishing you all lots of weekend resolve (that's the fortifying stuff not the hang over cure!)

13 or 14 a week??????!!!!!

Blimy..........used to do that in a night when I was a bit younger!!!
(Okay...a lot younger!!!!!)

Fab due date Juicy....my DS's due date was 30/31st May...depending who you asked!!
Me and the m/w said it was the 31st but my GP said the 30th......he wanted our DS to be born on his birthday!!!!!

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 16:45

Good luck and all the best am sure we will speak again before then but if not let us know how you get on. x

Got a 9 week scan at the EPU next week (as they're very kind), so hoping that will be ok.

Still waiting to hear about my 12wk + nuchal.

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 15:37

Nice to hear your feeling better Mrs

Any lovely to hear everything is going well for your Juicy - scan date yet?

Juicylucythe2nd · 20/10/2006 12:08

It's 13 or 14.

It's really wierd being pg, as the thought of alcohol is not attractive atall - except for the thought of an nice cold beer - but then it tastes crap so not tempted. I'm addicted to water - which I could only ever drink fizzy before, now it has be be still.

Due date is 29.05, assuming all goes ok. Keep everything crossed for me girls. xx

How many units should be our max?

Impressed with a pg dvd Juicy....I exercised for the first 3 months....then felt sick....then enjoyed doing bugger all!!!

Seem to have continued the 'bugger-all' phase ever since!!!!

JL2 - It's easily done, all it takes is a few bottles of wine and you're up there! scary! I am really so delighted for you, everytime I see your name I smile because I think it is so lovely! when is you due date and how are you feeling? My sis had the Cic de Soleil maternity DVD, I could not do the things on there now never mind when pg!!

Juicylucythe2nd · 20/10/2006 11:27

The first week I did it (before I cut down) I was 53 units!!!! And I don't think that was a particularly unusual week for me back then.

It's a wonder my liver still functions atall.

Good luck with the new healthy lifestyles girls. I've given up running already in case it's too much, but have promised myself to get out the pregnancy pilates dvd next week (may help with that extra stone .

Coggy - You know you can get those 10.5 off, go girl!!

Natty & Indignatio - good losses, well done! Inspiring. You can buy pedometers from Tesco (or you could!)

Hello JL2! I discovered that site last week after I saw it mentioned on here. I started the 6 week plan and have now done week 2. I am becoming a Thinker Drinker! I did cut my amount of booze down last week to 31 units. Not great but better than before. I have to admit, I have not had any dry days this week yet but I have not drunk very much. Next week and the week after though are the 2ww and I shall be very, very good.

Planned all our meals for the week last night to keep the calories in check.

Not been on the cross trainer yet Natty, last night I felt too depressed and wanted my dinner when I got in at 7 and then the night disappeared. Was going to go on this morning before work but have a splitting headache. Thanks for your concern for me, I am feeling more positive today.

I was amber.

Juicylucythe2nd · 20/10/2006 10:20

Not even going to tell you where I was before I started to reduce my intake.

It was V. scarry, although I think I narrowly escaped the category of having a "problem"

coggy · 20/10/2006 09:32

Phew.............I was in the green!!!!

Juicylucythe2nd · 20/10/2006 09:27

Hey girls,

If you need help on the alcohol reduction side, try this site:

downyourdrink

Scared the s*it out of me when I was still drinking!

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 09:20

Well done for staying the same.

Yes you must go back to class on Wednesday, will remind you every now and then just in case you are being naughty.

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:57

MrsMc.......hope you feel better today too...just read your posts.

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:51

dodgy...............I mean!!

coggy · 20/10/2006 08:51

Well done indignatio and Natty....good losses.

I like the idea of being checked up on....that's why I need to go to class!!
I will definitely do that next cycle.

My scales say I've stayed the same....think they must be dodogy although I have been better this past few days and had no alcohol for a few days....maybe just evened things out in time for this morning's weigh-in.

Tesco order arrived so should be easier to do healthier meals this week.........

Tell me...I MUST go to class next week!!!

Natty1806 · 20/10/2006 07:37

Well done id

Coggy - yeah put a line in and then i can check up on you. x

Mrs- read on another thread you were having a bad day yesterday hope you are feeling better today. x

I lost 1.5 pounds. 6.5 to go.

indignatio · 20/10/2006 07:34

Ok signing in for this week's weigh in. Lost 1.25lbs - so could be better but still heading in the right direction. I like the idea of a pedometer - where would I get one from ?

coggy · 19/10/2006 19:31

I was thinking of putting on a line for 'puff' exercise and another for abs......there what I need the most....also like your idea about the alcohol line too.

I lost 11.5 pounds and think I had 10.5 to go.......dangerous that halfway stage....you think you're winning and then go to pot!!!

Natty1806 · 19/10/2006 16:44

Good girl.

MrsMcJnr · 19/10/2006 12:33
