Hello!

Three years since our first weight loss thread and we are still here! Just!

Well, I finally did it! I've lost err... 74lbs since May 2011 and now weigh 9 stone 4 and am a size 8-10, as opposed to umm.. 'lots heavier' and a size 16 /18.

I am really wanting to maintain, tone up, drop a couple more lbs and stay like this so any healthy eating /gym chit chat sounds good to me.

Now - where are we all???

BIWI, I may pop into your low carb thread. I need to get a bloody grip on things.

Yay for 12lbs Lizzy

You will be very welcome, Bella!

Thing is, I am sick of eating salads at work, I have them days a week, today I really struggled as I was cold and just did not fancy eating yet another salad. I work on a reception and am unable to have hot food on there, so I will definitely be looking for inspiration.

Bella i hate salads when im cold too, i just want to eat things like cumberland sausage, buttery mash and onion gravy

Can you not even have soup?

ive had nothing to eat today yet

i have eaten

lentil soup & packet of quavers, not bad you might think but ive just spoilt it by making a cup of thorntons white hot chocolate (kept in my desk draw for emergencies)

the emergency is im depressed because i STILL (18 months on) have a crush on a very gorgeous married work collegue of mine, and he has spent most the the day sat helping me and i dreamt about him last night how do i stop this huge infatuation!?

i sometimes look to see if he is still wearing a wedding ring in the hope that he might have got divorced over the weekend

Oh Vinny!
It is hard when you have impure thoughts about people you shouldn't isn't it?

You need a new love interest. Any prospectives in the area? Big hunky Matt Baker type farmers???

I think I may re-enrol at the gym tonight. Am just not getting to do my Jillian Ripped DVD enough and cannot possibly get up at 6am to do it. I'd just cry.

how often do you do jillian lizzy? you are doing so fabulously well, im in ore of you

i have searched high and low for a man, there is no-one [sadface]

i know this is cruel of me but, you know at school there was always one girl who you thought would never ever get a boyfiend because they hit every branch of the ugly tree on the way down and then got wacked with the ugly stick a few times at the bottom? (im such a twat for even thinking that)

well that 'girl' just changed her fb status to 'in a relationship' waaaaaaa, why can she get a bloke and i cant? im so drepressed, im a horrible person

gah i shouldnt even say these things out loud let alone in text

Vinny you are a wonderful, beautiful, talented, intelligent and funny woman. With an amazing rack.
You are just one for settling. Nor should you!

I do Jillian 2/3 times a week, not at all this week yet!

Sorry!
You are just NOT one for settling

aww shucks lizzy i am massively a tad fussy

2/3 times a week is brill, my db who is super fit, keeps telling me if i do 20 mins of cardio 3 times a week i would see results, but im too lazy to never take his advice

Nope, not even soup Vinny. You will find a man - he is probably just around he corner waiting for you.

I am going to Pilates tonight. Would have gone to the gym this aft, but went for a full Elemis body scrub (on offer) which came with a mini facial and I also had my nails done. I had a voucher since last year and some points on a loyalty card, so it cost me nothing .

Vinny maybe you could think about what is attractive about the married man, and then look for someone else with the same qualities?
Everyone goes through a drought now and then, soon you will be back to beating them off with a stick.

I don't think anyone has even chatted me up since I had DS1

Bella, could you not have lunch in the staffroom? Or are the teachers biatches?

OOH Bella sounds lovely.
Have got a free 5 day trial at the gym (despite only cancelling a few months ago).
Worked v hard and it felt good.

Will prob re-join next week

Vinny, you could do Shred/Ripped once DS2 is in bed? It is only 20mins? You do see quick results as well.

Mwa, mwa, a name change but no lighter.

Hello DK [gri ]

Iggi, sadly no staff room. All faculties have their own. We do have an admin office where the kitchen is but I do not really qualify to have a "lunch break". I start at 11.30 Mon and Tue and finish at 1.15 Wed/Thur/Fri, I sort of eat and work and hope with each mouthful the phone does not ring.

Pilates was hard tonight - I picked heavier hand weights and I kept going all hot .

Oops that failed DK

lizzy ive tried shred, i nearly died it was so hard

i cant even managed to keep up with using my cross-trainer, and i can do that while watching telly, and its easy on my asthma, im just a lazy bitch

I think the cross trainer burns a lot of calories, do you feel good after using it Vinny? I have one but it's in storage as I need the space in my room for the cot - I could really be using it now too!

i dont feel good no, i just feel knackered might give it another go later, exercise is so boring....

Not when your trainer is a 24 year old man ...
