just thought, when I get bingo wings, if I wave goodbye they might swing round and hit me in the back of the head

tiny01 · 23/05/2005 22:45

Yes I know all about the excess skin. Have a pouch that could outdo a joey. I will beg borrow or steal to have a tummy tuck next year. I heard they do in on the drip. Saw a programe on it a few weeks ago. bloody brill. Lots of bj's and maybe my dh might pay

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:44

thats true and panty girdles are still about, are they not, lol.

as I have about 10 stone to lose, i think it is inevitable that I will have excess skin. I just don't know which is worse.

I know I know, I keep telling myself that but with summer coming and a reformed bulimic dh who is very aware of healthy eating I am giving myself a lot of stress. Well I am retaining a lot of fluid tonightGin

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:38

BDV - Ah but my extra weight was accumulated during my 1st pregnancy..... ds will be 4 next month!

Hadn't thought about the excess skin. Have you lost lots of weight in the past? Is it inevitable that your skin will have lost it's elasticity (that word so much easier to type than say right now!)?

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:34

well I have no excuse whatsover, my youngest is 37 months lol.

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:34

lol Natts - I wish!

... off for a refill...

toothache staggers downstairs

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:34

If I stick ridgidly to Paul McKenna and WW combined, I can very easily lost 8lb in one week, but, on the other hand, I don't know which is worse, being 21st or being 11st and having 3st of excess over hanging skin.

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:33

7 WEEKS ago Tiny01!!! Give yourself a break! At 7wks you're still carrying extra fluid etc.... Now I have no excuse, mine is 9mths!!

BDV - You should try drinking spirits... jeeeust for a fortnight. See if it makes a difference. I mean the weight isn't falling off me or anything. I think I've lost about 1.5 pounds a week. I know that its slowed down now. Might have to put in more of an effort to lose anymore than 3.8 kilos (think thats about 9lb). Really don't have inspiration for anything else.

But my GOD if you can do 5km's... then you're much fitter than me! Well done again.

My Mum is about 14-15st at the moment (guessing as she won't tell me). She's 5'3". Just joined Scottish Slimmers and lost 5lb her first week then 3 the second!

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:30

If I could give up drink I would be better, but, on the other hand I think i would be better if I gave up food

tiny01 · 23/05/2005 22:29

We drink a lot of wine, loveit loveit loveit. Didnt realise it was worse than gin, great cos I love gin to. I had my baby 7wk ago and thought I would lose loads of weigh but because I thought I could drink again I am going beserk. And there I was blaming the hormones.

Toothache · 23/05/2005 22:28

Natts - I mean I'm in between sizes at the moment. Find it really hard to fit anything.

I'm in Falkirk, Central Scotland.

Tiny01 - I've had the 'gin' 'grin' typo happen.... very funny! Gin

BubblesDeVere · 23/05/2005 22:27

I can very very easily drink 2 bottles of wine a night, but only drink once or twice during the week. I love my chardonnay, but like my red wine more,.
