Let it SHIIIIIII-IIINE, Let it Shine....waltzing about in rude good health like we are all in an M&S ad

[BiteOfFun]

Welcome to the latest in our series of healthy eating threads (26 and counting)!

The emphasis is on health (which is sometimes rude when we get chatting frivolously, as is our tendency), and weight loss where desired. I obviously don't desire it enough, as I am the same weight as when I started, but some of our regulars are mere shadows of their former selves ...

Do come and sign in here if you are with us, or want to join in- all welcome.

We try a variety of approaches, and there is always a lot of support and quite a few laughs along the way. Shiney is the head honcho round these parts, and we do get to be regaled with her embarrassing stories before the rest of MN, so that's always a big draw

Join us if you will!

right now off to dream of wanton sex that wont cure the lusting that should be moving on from...

happy dreams

Talking of sex (and not of the bum kind) DP approached earlier for a smooch on the sofa, and I'm ashamed to say I replied "Oh no no no don't think your doing that. All smoochy romantic whilst trying to grope my boob with the other hand, thinking you're on to a sure thing later on" or words to that affect.

He now thinks I'm mad

I feel a little tipsy now, fantastic, maybe dp's luck will be in after all.

Oh and tonight he has been talking about having another baby (again, he's baby mad) but I don't think that at 23stone having a baby would be a sensible option. Honest, no offence taken opinions needed please. We both desperately want a baby together but I'm nervous about taking that final leap (FYI I never bare financial status in to consideration when thinking about babies, afterall they cost very little to begin with)

Is anyone else about actually.

Dunno Jac, I just know that personally (and I think I am waaay older than you) I get v depressed when pregnant and have had v difficult births so there will be no more babies here.
I always wanted 2 dc, which is what I have.
I know on Slimming World they have a plan for pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, so you can diet healthily.

Hullo, not been on much tonight as been too busy watching the discrimiation experiment programme on telly and changing dramatic sleeping poos. But wanted to send out warm hugs hand-holding to all who need it.

Lizzy DS was born 6 weeks early, and my waters broke anout 2-3 weeks before that, so the end of the pg was a total nightmare. However, I lovee every second I was pg, it was the best feeling I have ever had.

I was 19stone when I had DS, if that helps any advice offered.

Now I am very, very drunk (I'm at that stage when I desperately want more alcohol, panicing because I'm on my last glass of wine. Yet I know that a sober me would be telling me I have had enough)

I've just realised I use brackets to much (yes I really do).

Bloody hell I have an English Literature tomorrow. We shall be discussing the thrills and spills of Bartelby. The most uneeded short story in history. If nyone has any clues what it's about please give me the heads up.

I was hoping he would turn out to be a ghost, but oh no he just died. What the hell was the point of that. "Hello a waste of an hour of my life". How the hell we are supposed to fill a 3hr lecture I don't know.

Oh and I have disgarded my cock. I feel liberated.

I'm still up!

Where are you all?

The thread is mine...all mine mwhahahaha mwhahahaha.

Drunken Trill signing in...

Taking a lead froma a post earlier today.....

.......

Will probably be found here in the morning, in a crumpled hungover heap in a mess. Someone bring a coat and help me cover my modesty please.

Jac!

What did I miss? There's been a deleted post, and someone outing someonje's hidey hole, and Jet's bro is out of hospital, and, um, stuff...

What was going on?

*discarded not disgarded

I can be pedantic eve after raspberry beer and a kebab

I guess Jac went

In that case hi to all you early morning people, and if you see me on facebook please do update me on what got deleted and made me all confused

You know, I think I was quite light Tuesday morning. Maybe not so much anymore.

Tis me I'm here, but not for long I feel queezy and have to be up for a lecture at 9

Raspberry beer oooo errrr what's that like then.

My post was deleted earlier, had lots of personal info on, will pop on FB when not so drunk.

Mmm, yes raspberry beer is tasty. Not very beer-ish actually.

I am drinking squash to combat hangover and wondering how many typos to leave in my posts to be endearingly tipsy but not annoying.

Hope you are okay.

Imaginary to anyone who I would want to hug, plus those who I would be too shy to hug without the beer.

I don't do massive personality changes when drinking.

Trill and Jaq.....

So it was just a normal night on the shiney thread then trill.

Right off to do museums and science festival!

Good morning girlies.

Jac - Well, as a prolific baby-maker, I would say Yes, go for it! But, it's all riskier the more overweight you are. I don't know how old you are or anything else that might mean sooner is better than later, but could you use the aim of trying for a baby in a few months or a year as motivation to lose more weight? And then be really careful when you're pg not to put too much extra on?

Unsurprisingly, I love babies - I know I don't want any more now but we're not ruling out having more in a few years. And I would only ever use 'we don't want any' as a reason not to have them. I know some people think that's selfish but it's not like I'm a really crap mum (however much I feel like I am when black dog's hanging around) who just pops them out regardless of their needs. One of the reasons we're not having more now is because I don't think, with their current ages, I'd be able to give them all they need in terms of my time and energy. But that may change in the future.

Gosh, that turned into a ramble!

Morning ladies

I have just caught up with what i missed last night. Think i am probably a bit late to be handing out hugs/pats on the back etc, but would have if i was here. Was incredibly grumpy last night and didn't want to talk to anyone so had an early night. Still a bit grumpy this morning actually....

Jaq - My honest opinion of being 23st and trying for a baby, is that it would be risky. But i know you are wanting to lose the weight, and that is why i feel comfortable saying this to you. It could be a great motivator for you if you want it to be. You are doing so well, maybe it could give you the final bit of encouragement? I also want to add (as i know it has been brought up in the past) that being overweight does not make you a bad mother, it is purely the risk to your health that makes me feel it is risky iyswim?

wow - what a night!

can't catch up - but a wave to all. DS on half term and my patience feels like it's being tested constantly. V. tired and wishing I was a calmer mother.

Jaq - Spooky summed up what I would have said. But whatever you decide I'm sure the ladies here will be here to get you through . Off the subject completely - did you want me to send that book about making money on Amazon? Not sure if you have old text books and stuff like that that you don't need - but text books do sell for good prices. Let me know and I'll send you a copy.

Morning ladies.

Day off today so off to my mothers with les enfants.

Maybe weetabix?

Still illin' but what's new.

x0x0 Syco Girl.

Goes back to re-read last night again, as have completely forgotten it.

Flamingo did I say that you are quite a bit younger than I thought? I think it's probably the "mother of 4" thing too
