grumpily

sorry for smiley explosion
i would do a blush thing now but that wouldn't really show true repentance would it

Gosh I haven't been on for ages have I? RL very busy and I am not yet really adjusted to fitting work in around everything else.

Good luck at the gob butcher dentist Fran

I am the same weight I was last week

Which is kinda like progress as I haven't put anything on

Still struggling for focus tbh even though I am uncomfortable in the heat and I know that even a small loss of the lard suit would help

Lemur I work in the technical dept of a food production company - my main responsibility is to make sure that all the info on the labels is correct and legal but I occasionally have to do other stuff, like rescue dodgy product from supermarket shelves and peruse ocado to make sure our products are listed correctly. I also go to taste panels and eat stuff

today:
granola dried fruit etc (2)
blueberries
melon (loads)
copious salad in butty

so probably 6 so far

ThePinkOne · 28/06/2010 15:38

Hope you got on ok at the dentist Fran.

Well done everyone who lost some or didn't put any on. I lost 1lb (barely. breathing out. clothes off. fed ds first)

Running tonight.

TigerFeet · 28/06/2010 16:54

hahaha pink yes, i weigh first thing in the morning, post visit to the loo, post feeding dd2, pre eating breakfast or even sipping coffee

TigerFeet · 28/06/2010 16:55

oh and in the nude too

for all the bloody difference it makes

pointydog · 28/06/2010 17:58

I can't remember what I weighed the last time I weighed in - didn't do it last week - but I am now streadily at 10st 8 so I have lost at least another pound and have lost 14lb since starting.

CoupleofKooks · 28/06/2010 18:10

LOL i am another first thing weigher

pointy you are a star

let me do my spreadsheet

Pointy - lost ? - total 14 lbs
Pink - lost 1 lb - total ?
Franny - lost 1 lb - total 10 lbs
Tiger - lost 0 - but good going
Avi - lost 0 - total 1

well done chaps, not bad at all

where's Guad? hope you are ok

i just had the best meal i have had all week
look away if you don't want dental details
pointy this is the bit you like

he has taken the stitches out and that bit is more comfortable again
plus have massive horse antibiotics as infection was still raging - that still hurts, but it should be improving by tomorrow wouldn't you think? [hopeful]
so the sorry saga ends i hope
if i had just gone and got antibiotics a month ago instead of trying to do without them, none of this would have happened i don't think
and i would have needed a smaller dose
i think i am a twat

and i refused the expensive probiotics health shop lady told me i needed to fight the infection, however slunk in today to get them as i will certainly need them now

i think i am definitely a twat

but i can eat again! haha! i bet i put about 3 lb on by next weigh in

OP posts:
ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 28/06/2010 18:37

IME your mouth should be feeling better tomorrow. I know what you mean about the expensive pro-biotics though, I think the last batch I got were £20

I'm still in denial about weighing myself, but the skirt I use to measure the weight loss is looser still. So much so that I can take it off without undoing the zip. Which is good, but I can't wear the skirt in public anymore as it hangs in a very odd fashion.

weetabix
apple
nectarine
sweet pot falafel, hummus, rocket, cucumber, radishes, toms and avocado.
Chilli (lots of toms, mushrooms, kidney beans) and rice.

10-11 portions.

2 hours of yoga tonight. I am going to be a sweaty heap when I get back

CoupleofKooks · 28/06/2010 19:01

Lemur that sounds like you have lost a LOAD of weight
could you have the skirt altered?

probiotics £25
mouthwash from dentist £7
prescription £7
busfares over last month about £20

OP posts:
CoupleofKooks · 28/06/2010 19:03

oh dental treatment £46!!
god this was a ruddy cock up from start to finish

OP posts:
pointydog · 28/06/2010 19:03

horse drugs good detail. We could all go on at you about how yopu should have got it all seen to sooner but you wouldn't have such a good story to tell if you had and I often think a good story is worth a lot.

weetabix and o juice
banana
baked tater and cheese and coleslaw and beetroot and salad
2 mini muffins and 5 haribo tangfastics
2 jacobs and brie
tomatoes, cucumber, houmus, pickled beets

tipping over the 7 mark I reckon

CoupleofKooks · 28/06/2010 19:08

pointy NO story is worth £100 and not being able to eat nice food for a week
it's a shit story anyway, no-one wants to hear about my putrid mouth except you

i really thought i was being cunning avoiding the anti-biotics
they have made me and ds2 so miserable over the past 2 years (even though they were quite necessary at times)
i guess i should have been going mad being proactive and treating it with pro-biotics and cutting out sugar and visualising angels dancing in my mouth and so on
god i am rubbish at doing alternative health thingies

OP posts:
CoupleofKooks · 28/06/2010 19:11

pointy unlike me you could have chosen ANY FOOD IN THE WORLD to eat today and enjoyed it at leisure pain free
and you chose haribo tangfastics

OP posts:
pointydog · 28/06/2010 19:16

har! I thought you'd like the tangfastics touch.

ThePinkOne · 28/06/2010 19:56

How do you only eat 5 tangfastics? [awe]

pointydog · 28/06/2010 20:31

Put them away in a high cupboard and imagine dd2's wrath when she finds out

CoupleofKooks · 29/06/2010 07:16

this is not the haribo fan page
you are all bad veggers

i ate chocolate cake and it was gooooooood
i am hoping to be able to eat vegetables maybe today or tomorrow
i haven't had any this week unless they were pureed

we are spending the day with Mr and Mrs Gnorman
god no-one knows who i am talking about i am sure
our friends who went to Sweden, they are back for the week

ds2 went to sleep at 10.45 pm and ds1 got up at 6.20 am
that is not enough sleep for a lazy vegger

OP posts:
TigerFeet · 29/06/2010 11:55

I remember the gnormans, you were very sad when they left. How lovely they are here

Hurrah for the end of the dentist saga, I agree with pointy it is a good story. Would you like to hear about the very expensive dental treatment dh is having done? It involves drills and files and screws

Fangtastics the way to never ever want to eat one again is to have hyperemesis and be able to eat little else for months. You will never want to look one in the eye again.

I made a healthy packup and left it at home. I therefore had to raid the sandwich wagon and purchase an egg mayo roll and a curly wurly.

ThePinkOne · 29/06/2010 15:50

at egg mayo and curly wurly. I'm sure you could've got something more veggery than that!!

Nectarines
Celery
Tomato
Raisins
Cucumber

Hee hee! I don't think I've listed yet since we've been back!

Of course we remember the Gnormans. So pleased you're seeing them. Have a lovely time

I'd lost another .8lb this morning (I know I shouldn't weigh every day but I knew I'd done better than yesterday!)
