I think this is thread 10. We are an unruly bunch of MNetters trying to shed a lot a little or just some pounds through a variety of methods. Others just trying to eat healthily.

Newcomers most definitely welcome, just be advised the post rate is insane so be sure to check in regularly!

Our hostess Ms Diamond will be along soon I'm sure.

marking my place, back tonite

Thanks syc

(marking my place)

How does this work then? Can I join? I have two pairs of jeans I'd love to get back into. I avoid scales like the plague though.
Does this guarantee weight loss?

Oh, has Trills gone to her in-laws? When is she back?

Wow Sazzles well done
I hve managed to lose 3 pounds in the last week jusst by cutting back a bit and exercising more.
Will be in Lanzarote in 2 weeks time so a great motivator

Ooohhhh I do feel naughty posting on here butI'm feeling a little rebelious

Just wanted to mark my place really, but I'm having ishoooooooes with dinner choice and want to ask my sages but don't know which thread to do it on bugger!

Gosh, where are my manners..? Hi melmog

Welcome melmog.
SFD - I went to Lanzarote a month ago, had a lovely time.

Where are you headed? Hope you have self cater options as it was SOOOO expensive to eat out.

(good for diet)

Wow, this is so fast paced, new thread already, am struggling to keep up. I think the pace is almost a constant jog!! Which of course I cannot keep up with till I shed the extra pounds!!

LTR it isn't as fast as you would expect - there are still 40 odd posts left on the old thread. Everyone is getting over excited over a new thread

Is there a limit on the number of posts a thread can hold? I didn't realise that

Syc we are going to Playa Blanca
Luckily self catering wtih proper kitchen.
Was it really that bad?

SFD, we had a GREAT holiday, also in Playa Blanca.

Hmm, yes, it was quite pricey but there was a netto right by our hotel lol, and we had a tiny kitchenette so managed our lunches self catered most days.

I think it was sazzles on this thread that gave me some good advice re budget and she was about right.

How long are you going for - how many of you and ages? Will see if I can give you an indication...

Re-posting (you'll have to add your own smilies!) from the old thread in case Reality missed me telling you all how marvellous she is...

I'm on the way home now, slightly worse for wear but not too bad...we got told off by the hotel for smoking out of the window ...I was pretty well-oiled it has to be said.

Reality throws a good party -we had a fantastic time. It's funny, but I really did feel like I'd known her for years after just a few glasses minutes! I can confirm that indeed she does have a top partner, nice house (though I forgot to check out the larder), sweetheart of a dad, beautiful children and a nice arse. All in all she should be Very Smug

Oh, and any girl who can sing as unashamedly badly as I do totally without inhibition in front of her musically trained DP on singstar is truly a kindred spirit...

Mamazon was stunning as ever, and unsurprisingly has gorgeous progeny who I wanted to take home with me. We had a great laugh baiting socialising with some of Reality's drunker relatives (Glass Munching Guy springs to mind), and I was heartily impressed at Mamazon's abilty to to be gracious and outgoing in a sea of inebriation while staying totally sober so she could drive (HUGE thanks for the lift!)

Is this sounding like the Oscars yet? I just had a lovely time, as did DP, and hopefully I didn't make too much of a twat of myself

Wow BoF sounds like a great night.
Syc we are going for 14 nights, have 2 DS's aged 6 and 9.
If you have any useful info my email is
emnmart at tiscali(dot)co(dot)uk
We are hoping to get by without hiring a car, hiring bikes instead.
Do you know if there is a water park on the island>

Oh, I feel all warm and welcomed aleady!

I've seen your name on lots of threads shiney, I think you said "lol melmog" once. That's my proudest mn moment so far!

I'll be naughty again as you lot seem to be so quick that by the time I've found the old thread it'll be full up!

I'm just about to tuck into a giant rib of beef, but will be having early, good teas for the rest of the week. Going on hols on Friday so have a deadline.

Thanks again for the lovely welcomes.

You are all naughty! Trill is going to be very cross with us, as will Syc who left us strict instructions to fill up the other thread first!

Welcome to melmog

Just get stuck in - don't worry if you can't catch up, just post anyway. Some people post what they've eaten, or how they've managed on their calorie counting (esp. if they're using Food Focus, which is free, and otherwise referred to as Lord Food, Food Focus, Lord Ford

Some post their weight, some just their loss, some post what exercise they've done (or not done! )

Good luck - look forward to getting to know you.
