Welcome to the something thousand and something thread of the Shineys.

We chat about health, diet, exercise and cock cake.

Join in!

I'm Mouseface, I've lost 8lb now since joining the clan and hoping to maintain it for the future.

Sorry to post and run, DS woke up.

Really I'm fine, yes he's acting like a shit but life isn't meant to be a bed of roses. I was just having a whinge, didn't mean to bring the mood down.I'm beig enough and ugly enough to look after myself, believe me.

Feel free to have a drink on my behalf Saf, and hurry up with that child shrinker - it's going to make us our millions.

Why SAF?

Bella.. I bought a detox tea and have one every morning and night, but I also bought a Colon Cleansing Solution . It is Aloe Vera based, I put it in my fruit/detox tea and just lost that feeling that is similar to when you have had a few days eating rubbish. Sluggish and slow sort of thing.

The changes are similar to when I lost my initial 4 st. A little extra exercise, swap a tea for a herbal tea, an extra glass of water. Have given up Lattes and most cake. But I do it a little at a time so it is less noticeable and more a lifestyle change. I did so well, it is a shame I put some of it back on, but I am very much an emotional eater.

My stomach is flatter and less...ermm...blancmangey IYSWIM

MMM, foul is my favourite flavour!

Yay for flatter stomach Mittz.

Does the detox tea taste awful? I almost want things like that to taste terrible so it feels like it's good for me.

A colon cleansing solution

I will add the tea to my next lot of shopping.

No, it's not too awful Bitter...I sometimes add a fruit tea to give it a bit more body but certainly drinkable. I know what you mean about tastes though.

SAF,, shame about the flapjack, could you dip it in dark chocolate to make it more palatable?

Life can be so unfair Vinny, I am so sorry for your friend and son. Healing vibes to him xx

Hey lovelies, so sorry to hear about all the and days.

I am busy busy.

In on topic news, I am remaining sugar-free-free and have set up the pedometer I bought approx. 5 years ago.

Mittz, that sounds a very sensible approach. Weren't you a vegger? Did the large quantities of fruit and veg help?

Tracey, I'm not sure about that leggings for any size theory. Do I have to wear the maxi skirt with the leggings?

More crafting to do now, oh yes.

Traceybath - welcome back

I loved the suggestions you posted on my 'what to wear' thread yonks ago, by the way, and am super pleased with the silvery grey NL blazer.

Oh, I've got a £15 pounds off Ocado voucher, Anyone recommend anything particularly good?
As in, if you only did one Ocado shop ever, what would you get?

I am bizarrely drawn to the colon-cleansing tea, Mittz. In fact, I would really like to have that thing where they power-hose water up your bum and leave you all clean.

DIB

Not for kicks Bella !!!

Colonic irrigation - that's the one.

Ooh, I've had that. Waste of money. But I guess it might be that my guts were healthy so I didn't need it.
It did teach me about my insides though, locate the colon, and learn how to massage it if I had a poorly tummy.

I was a vegger wasting and yes, building up to the 10 a day is quite good.

It's this DIB, maybe not the hosepipe effect but definitely worked for me..........

That looks quite good, cleansing and calming.

Evening, tis me, Mouseface.

Reporting to you from my shiney new netbook!!

Right, gloating over.

Bitter - DH is being mean but I know you wwon't put up with his shit. I believe you wwhen you say that!! [scared of Bitter emoticon]

Bella - chink! Vody and diet lemonade. Oh, and we had MrMouses curry tonight! Yum!!

TB - ello petal!

Double - have a gin before you go woman!!

SAF - sorry you have rubbish flaps

Vinny - sorry about your friends son. I hope he stays as positive as he sounds. A very, very tough time for all of the family.

Mittz - cleansing tea, that sounds like what I need..... what's it called??

DS is crashed out for now.........

Not mastered the keyboard yet!

Evening everyone....feeling a bit better today, I am fighting the depression off I think. It seems different every day, sometimes I feel almost 'normal', then one little thing will send me into a tailspin! I'll probably go to the GP next Friday when I've got the day off.

I have had a skim but not really properly catching up, my eyes are achy from staring at computer screens all day!

Thank you for the kind words, I love you guys. People are usually very surprised when I say I've got this recurrent major depression and have had to be on ADs since I was 16. Sometimes I wonder if I have manic depression because I can be so 'up' and happy, and then my lows are so dramatically different.

Those that met me, you wouldn't recognise me at all if you saw what I was like during the bad times. Too shy/insecure to speak above a whisper, practically housebound with anxiety, not answering the door or phone, sleeping 16 hours a day, etc. I know it doesn't sound possible, and it can be kind of embarrassing to admit this stuff because you never know when someone will say/think 'FGS pull yourself together and stop whinging'. I am incredibly lucky to be married to someone who is very patient and understanding (mainly because he's got his own anxiety/depression problems).

I will now stop whinging.

wasting what you crafting?

5 more mins of etsy loading then off to bed, potentially for a re match although, one of you has put me off with the thought that dp might be poking the goddamn WOMB

Where's that bloody bof and shiney gone?

Must namechange tomorrow, have been far too giving on this one. I feel like Mal.

DF, I didn't say thankyou. Feel free to lecture me anytime.
