If your name's not on the list... come on in anyway, the Shiney cult is always open!

New thread, same old plan.

We are a bunch of varying-in-size ladies (with the occassional male visitor) who all want to eat more healthily. We include those who want to lose 50 lbs, those who have already lost 50 lbs, those with only a little to lose, and some who just like to chat.

Come, post lots, and you will get encouragement, sympathy, and ass-kicking as necessary

Oh no hells - hope it feels better soon.

mitts my sinuses are horribly bunged up too. I have had a horrid headache for a few days now. You have my sympathies.

I think my DH might deserve some kind of award - he forgot that the clocks went forward and got home at 3.30 or so he thought - but it was actually 4.30. So he got very little sleep but still got up with the children because I was feeling so rough this morning. And made me tea and toast in bed, and cooked a lovely roast this evening. What a man!

weegie sorry to hear you and your DD are unwell. Sounds awful

Yay for Fleecy's lovely DH, what a star

Weegie, hope you feel better soon, sounds awful.

Am getting all sleepy now..........

Evening!

Bella, poor lad. Are you taking him back to Docs?

Alice, the craft chat seemed to die out after Christmas, but I think it might help me get going with it all. I got a book on crochet on Thursday and am excited about trying something new, but I discovered just how many unfinished projects I've got while sorting through all the stuff the last few days.

Ooh Fanny!

TAF, I think getting up and about too will improve your appetite. Do you like fruit?

Vinny, that's some excellent walking.

Ouch Hells! I presume if the pain doesn't go away then it's off for an x-ray.

Oh weegie, I think that's the worst bit of being a parent, having to carry on when ill. Hope it's a quick bug.

Well, I did find some motivation earlier, I made cupcakes. I'm a bit crap at self-denial, but getting very good at baking.
They're Earl Grey flavoured and very yum. I'll have to work out how many calories in a cupcake.

Errm cupcakes you say wasting.. yummy!

Funny you should say about taking him back to the docs. He started his ab's last Tuesday and it is a 7 day course. Tbh, there is no improvement so I went online this morning to book another appointment - you can tell easter is coming and there are bank hols, cos all the olds book all the appointments up leading up to the hols just in case they are ill. First appointment I could get was 8.15am next Sat morning . If by the middle of the week nothing has changed, then I will ring up and demand an apppointment.

I think I have just bored Goober half to death on fb chat!

I love sausage casserole Trills. How was your chinesy dinner?

Hmm, Wasting, am intrigued by Earl Grey cupcakes, are they lovely?

Off to bed in a mo I think.

test

at Sazz's stalkerishness...

Contactquestions - is that you? have I just txted you?

Am about to post a question over in chat so it vanishes in 30 days or whenever. Could you please come and advise. I know some of you are in a similar (? maybe) situation to me so am hoping for help.

Or if its too personal could you put replies on fb?

sorry to be all mysterious i'm trying to ensure it doesn't get back to the wrong ears.

still seriously in need of a wax x

hello ladies

Hope you have all had a good day. I was doing very well on healthy eating til I opened the wine at 6pm, then managed with DH's help to drink that bottle and we are now half way through our second. THis either means that we will both be asleep by 10pm or jumping on each other (whats the bet it's sleep that gets us first!!).

Sazz - how was the wailing? I mean karaoke??

DS is a lot better today, the steroid inhaler is doing it's trick. Poor little chap.

Must tell you about the double glazing quotes we had. We want to convert garage to an office, replace front door and put double glazing in the downstairs loo. We had Everest come round on Saturday and they quoted... are you sitting down... 5K for these 3 things!!!! . The worst was the downstairs loo window which they claimed would cost #1094 - the bloody window is no bigger than 2ft x 1ft FFS! We were so shocked we actually laughed! Wont be going with them then!

Ah, I didn't txt you then... but I know who you are (I think!)

Evening

Have checked in, unpacked eaten a mahoosive steak sandwich and logged on. Not Bella standards of commitment, but getting there

Have also been to the nearest Spar, bought a bottle of wine, and put it in the (full, cold) bath. Am such a tramp.

Earl Grey cupcakes are very yummy. Bit strange but nice.
I was planning on getting signed back up to Food Focus, getting an idea of calories and portions again.

Bella, that's crap.

DIB - you are funny! A kinda nice tramp though, but yeah a tramp!!

Sazz hair of the dog is the only way to go. I've never been a fan of karaoke myself, but that sounds more like it. Maybe we can convince everyone to come darn sarf for the next shiney meet up and get them to sing in Bristol.

Ah, Sazz, I see I am in the company of experts

Am now eating the chocolate hobnobs I bought in said Spar.

Yes to gym in the hotel, but I, er, forgot my kit. Nice sauna, though.

i have pringles it might be had shortly

Well, DH is asleep on the sofa so that answered that question.

Wine sounds nice but I'm tired, even though it's only really 9 o'clock.

Bad luck, MyCat

Have discovered an ice machine down the hall, but only have a large glass to use as a vessel. Bet the person in the room opposite just loves me
