Hello Pussycat! welcome, hope you are feeling a bit better. I think that if I didn't have scales at home (mine are cheapy ones from Debs) and I wasn't going to class (shouldn't be weighing in at home anyway ) I'd go to Boots once a week and weigh on their scales, probably more accurate and give more info than bathroom scales.

I am going to make losing weight and eating healthy food my focus next cycle. It has double benefits and I might feel less of a failure. I have been pathetic in my losing weight attempts over the last year and a half!

Welcome to Nadinedt too! Well done with your losses to date, fabulous! only 3 more pounds left to go?

Now, Natty and Coggy I have nominated you as our committee!! How are we going to run things? are we going to do daily confessions on food, alcohol and exercise like we did last month or are we just going to do weekly weigh ins? and if we do, should we all post the loss (or gain ) on the same day regardless of when we got weighed that week so the thread is easier to read?

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 09:39

It would be easier to keep up to date if we all posted our weight losses on the same day, but i am not fussed either way. Yeah agree that people must confess if they have had bad day and then others who are being good can point them in the right direction. x

nadinetd · 03/10/2006 10:50

im so glad i came on here you all seem juust what i need.
good luck to all x

Hi all, Am happy whatever is decided in terms of confessing food sins, and when to advise of weight losses. I have LOTS of food confessions: take-away curry on Friday and then meal out for PIL anniversary last night (couldn't resist the garlic bread and big cheesy lasagne).

And one advance confession for lunch today - Going for thai food with MrsMcJ and I know I'm going to be bad. Going to try to make up for it for the rest of the week.

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 12:24

I have just eaten a bag of hula hoop were is my will power???

nadinetd · 03/10/2006 12:48

i just ate a prawn baguette and pack of crisps pig eh, just wondering have u guys heard of clomid if so what is it and how does it work? could i get it?

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 13:52

i am on clomid as is a few other ladies on her, there is a clomid thread where more experienced ladies will answer your questions. I am on it as i was not ovualting and have slight polycystic ovaries. I am only on the first month though.

You have no will power either today then or is it all being counted in?

nadinetd · 03/10/2006 14:21

no will power i seem to want to eat more when im on anyway.
i dont think i need to try clomid just yet as i ovulate and have periods like clockwork and as i feel within 5 months before i guess as i started trying again in may it hasnt been that long really xx

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 14:31

Yeah you won't need it then. x

coggy · 03/10/2006 17:29

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 18:01

Well bad mood has come back so the ben and jerrys is coming out the fridge tonight.

Back to the gym tomorrow hopefully it will spur me on as i am crap at the moment. x

coggy · 03/10/2006 18:15

Oh dear Natty...............why are you feeling bad today?

DH has gone out to get another bottle of wine to see if that helps clear my headache.

That's really bad isn't it??!!

MrsMcJnr · 03/10/2006 18:26

Hey Natty, what's up? you should be a happy girl just now with those high temps

Hello Coggy! must be the weather giving you that sore head and those muffins were only small weren't they?

Confession: was out for lunch (yummy Thai with RachelRose ) but I am also out tonight - steamed fish for me!

OP posts:
coggy · 03/10/2006 18:38

Hmmmmm.....muffins were not very small I'm afraid!!!

Then DH made tea and it was big and I had to eat it and not mention that I was feeling full because of the three muffins.

Somebody mentioned a running club on Friday........................

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 18:39

LOL at the wine making the headache better. hair of the dog and all that.

Not sure what is wrong just don't feel right, feel all out of sorts, tired and like i want to burst into tears - but i don't. Oh and eating as much as i can.

Have had my ice cream which was yummy so am going to do some ironing and then paint me nails and go to bed. Hopefully the gym will get those enphodorphins (?) working and make me feel better.

Steamed fish Mrs go the whole hog and have a very bad day and start again tomorrow.

coggy · 03/10/2006 18:41

I have felt tired and ill today...headache, sore mouth, stuffed belly!!

I'm going to have a bath in a mo and then watch some trash TV!!

Natty1806 · 03/10/2006 18:52

Must be something going round you maybe you have a hangover.

I am sky + ing loads tonight as there seems a lot on.

Enjoy your bath and wine.

Well, had mussels and fish cakes rather than the steamed fish but they were yummy . Weigh in tonight and things don't look to bad on the home scales (must stop these sneak previews) but we'll see.

Some of my die hard drinking friends have now decided to go on the wagon from Mon to Fri for weight reasons - surely I can follow suit? I was reading some pretty scary stuff about conception and alcohol last night but again, that is from conception, not before it seems but if anyone knows anything different, please let me know!

Coggy and Natty - how you are feeling better. Natty - your feelings sound rather like symptoms don't they?!

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 04/10/2006 10:02

No i just think it is my body working properly as i have supressed my hormones being on the pill for so long and then since jul05 i have not be ovulating which must have an impact on PMS etc.

Am going to be naughty though as i have cheap e-bay tests and do one sat morning 10DPO as i am going to a part and if neg i can get rather drunk without the worring of what if i am preggers. LOL

Anyway good luck for your weigh in tonight, back at the gym this morning which seems to have improved my mood and am booked in for a re programme on sat. Not being good with food as it is mine 9 year anniversary with OH today so we are having fillet steak for tea - yummy!!!

Happy anniversary Natty !!!! Be careful on Sat night, it could be a false negative as quite early so don't drink too much! Apparently, according to a book I read last night, it is safer to drink wine than spirits due to the strength of the spirt.

OP posts:
Natty1806 · 04/10/2006 11:24

Thanks i will drink white wine sprizers then.

RachelRose · 04/10/2006 13:15

Happy Anniversary Natty and good to hear you are bit more upbeat.

Yum, MrsMcj, I bet those fish cakes were fantastic! Although Coggy's muffins sounds even better .

Finally I can report that I've been good for about 24 hrs... Chicken and rice last night, muesli this morning and salad for lunch

I need to get some goodness behind me as am out on the piss on Friday, then 2 big dinners on Sat and Sun.

Did we decide on whether we are all going to post our weight changes the same day?
