Oh, and I'm so pleased that Sazzles has started the recipes again

BalloonSlayer · 17/06/2009 20:38

motherpi, do you have to pay to go on Ford Focus.

I don't think I want to do it because I am scared of what I'll find out [head in sand emoticon]

ladies..can I join you?

I posted on JY's thread and saw the link to here. Am needing desperately to lose 4-5 stone, preferably within 6 months as I am 4 and want to TTC soonish. Have tried every blinkin' diet going but tend to fall off the wagon out of demotivation when my weight plateaus after a few weeks.

Am currently keeping calories to a bare minimum (for me) with Xenical and Slimfast and lots of fruit with a small evening meal - basically training myself to live on small low calorie meals. It seems to be working for now.

Hey MotherPi - I love the graphs too!

FordFocus is totally free, I wouldn't have paid for it (although now I love it so maybe I would). DP is doing it too.

harleyd · 17/06/2009 20:59

motherpi · 17/06/2009 21:04

I've been meaning to nag ask you about the thirstiness thing

Did you ask your GP?

harleyd · 17/06/2009 21:08

hi

yeah i have a doc appt at end of month, will be asking then
i have been cutting down on the water, am drinking about 5 pints just now, and am having the odd diet coke...and i dont feel as thirsty as when i was just drinking water

motherpi · 17/06/2009 21:11

Hello MrsBoogie!

Am feeling quite giddy because TWO MORE people in work noticed I'd lost weight! (And no, I wasn't offended)

Also because I haven't eaten supper yet.

And have already started on the wine

motherpi · 17/06/2009 21:16

at Harley.

I am beginning to understand why the group things like WW work. It's rather nice to have a common goal.

Have been finding friends and family trickier. Plenty of 'it won't hurt just this once' and 'but you look fine' (untrue). Odd.

mrsboogie · 17/06/2009 21:24

A friend (bloke) at work asked me yesterday if I was losing weight!! Hurrah! First time. I was embarrassed but pleased.

Everyone seems to be doing well!

Not convinced about the new man, Shiney. I reckon you would have felt more of a spark by now if something was meant to be.

An OK-ish day for me:

no breakfast - got embroiled with work and before I knew it it was lunchtime
lunch - chicken with leftover courgette/aubergine bake from last night and half a sausage
dinner - mince and onions, mashed swede, peas and one yorkshire pudding (home-made)

An no wine!

A shot of gin or vodka is 56 cals, put it with diet coke or diet tonic?

I think we should input our recipes on the recipes bit of the MN site you know.
