Yes...good luck TMH I'm there too...except I don't think you know my RL name, but if you find Bianca she can show you who I am (if you don't mind bianca)
I'm the opposite of you TMH, I have a tiny top (no boobs!) and big bottom. I'm a 14 bottom and a 12 top and getting bigger! My size 14 jeans are tight to do up and tricky to get over my bum(used to be a 10 top and 12 bottom) but I also have a overhanging belly and bingo wings to try and sort out. Its my legs I hate really, lots of dimples and fat knees (sorry if TMI!)

I'm now a 14 all over [proud]

BiancaCastafiore · 20/01/2008 09:49

sorry, didn't mean to sound smug

Off swimming now x

Infact I can't wear my size 14 combats any more, as the button at the top is a press stud one and it pops undone when I exhale!

Its no good...they used to actually fall down if I didn't wear a belt! and that wasn't too long ago!

It all seems to have gone pear shaped ('scuse the pun) since I hit 31/had my 3rd DC. Just my normal activity levels/food consumption (although I think I might be eating more than I used to) are not good enough anymore and it all just piles on at an alarming rate!
My belly has literally gone out of control in the last year. It wasn't even this big after child birth! Breast feeding always sucked it all back in again, but after DD2 it never actually went away...just got bigger.

Anyway!

I am up and dressed,
D/W is unloaded/reloaded
W/M is on
Kids are half dressed
Living room half tidy (breakfast things are cleared away)

Oooh I have just had a thought...maybe there is a fitness video on youtube! Then I won't actually need to buy one! (will just have to keep fit in the hall though LOL!)

Morning Had great fun last night.

Hi simply! tmh come join us! lol luda at not being able to write bum hahahaha! I've just signed up for the one day free trial of the boots weight loss counter thingy thing... (can't remember what it's called). Is good cos there is a calorie counter and water counter (I don't drink enough water).

I'm squeeeeeeeeeeeezing into 12s as I refuse to buy 14s again. But I am really back up to a 14 stoopid me

Anyway, off to eat brekkie and finish the room... be back later!

I have done the 1 day free trial thingy too...it says I should be able to reach my target weight by May 11th!!!!! That would be fantastic! However it seems a bit un-realistic!?? 4 months to lose 2 and a bit stone
It would be good though, I'd be trim again in plenty of time for the summer.
Also its my birthday in May, I'd like to be trim for that too

We will see

Morning.

Sorry for being a rubbish FLYer of late (I'm still spending every spare minute clearing up plaster and painting ceilings), and moe imortantly a rubbish scrbble player.
I hope that in the midst of your scrabble playing you took your turn on our game gibberish? I need putting out of my misery on that game.

I'm hoping to get some computer time tonigh, so hope to be back later

BiancaCastafiore · 20/01/2008 12:10

I have found and read your blog Luda Wish I could think of something to say ina blog...am feeling uninspired and generally a bit urgh today!

We got home from swimming a few minutes ago. It wasn't so successful this week as ds really wasn't in the mood (I think he's still a little run down) so didn't want to stay long because "the water is touching my skin" daft boy!

We have a lazy afternoon planned the kids are on the computer in the office, I'm on the laptop in the bedroom (sitting on our un-made bed, surrounded by laundry to put away ) and dh is watching some old film on TV downstairs! I really ought to shift myself and get something done...just can't be bothered tbh...

TheMadHouse · 20/01/2008 12:57

We have just had SUnday roast and all the timmings yum.

All the pots are in the dishwasher and that is going.

DS2 is in bed napping.

DH needs to do some work, so I am going to take DS1 to the shops with me for milk and stuff. He always wants to help daddy so work. DH is mega busy at work, first time in 2 years that he has brought work home to do at the weekend so I can not complain.

I need to:

Do washing
Tumble dry and iron
make huge bolegnease - some for bro and SIL
weigh myself - yeh right

gibberish · 20/01/2008 13:11

Jas yes I did Infact, played my moves on ALL my games

tort I'm having real trouble adding you on the boots thing for some reason. Have you accepted me as a buddy??

luda d'you think you will sign up for the boots diet thing? And my goal date is May too I think it is achievable - half a stone a month is definitely do-able...

Just checked the cals used for painting About 360 cals per hour So that's my exercise for the day! In between coats atm.

gibberish · 20/01/2008 13:13

It's that sunday feeling bianca...

tmh your dinner sounds lovely. yummmmm. Wish I didnt love food so much...

gibberish · 20/01/2008 13:13

Does anyone know where neverenough is? Haven't seen her around for ages.

ludaloo · 20/01/2008 13:38

Um I probably won't sign up...not sure really Gibb
Your painting has burned off loads!
I haven't seen neverenough for a while either.

Dh is watching a war film, kids are playing upstairs, and I am trying to find some way of excercising without Dh noticing

Supper is on... Kids have fish fingers mash and beans, dh has sausae waffles and beans and I have beef lasagna (weight watchers one) and a waffle.

I might not get the chance to actually post tomorrow as Monday is my very busy day of the week!

Food shopping straight after the school run
Welsh Lesson after lunch
Pick kids up straight after welsh
Early supper for dh and the kids
Keep Fit in the evening
Then fix something for me to eat when I get back in

So if I don't get on tomorrow, then have a good day all

Evening all.
I haven't had any emails though Boots yet. I want a buddy.

Have had a very busy day today! But DS's room is now sorted!
They wanted the bunks seperated so we had to basically empty the room (pile everything on my bed) to take them apart and move other bits around.

Then had to put all the toys back sorting them as we went! End result looks ok alothough they have even less floor space to play in but they are really pleased with it which is the main thing.

We had egg and bacon pie for tea. All made by me, even the pastry! Hate to think how many cal it is!

Scrabble was fun last night! Much better than games that drag on.

Hope everyone has had a good day.

gibberish · 20/01/2008 20:10

It was a good game tort May many more follow!

Don't know what is going on with the boots thing though - can't seem to add you! Will see if i can send a message to a moderator to get it sorted...

Finished my bedroom. Is lovely I am not so lovely though. Covered from head to toe in paint so off for a shower.

tortoise · 20/01/2008 20:10

I found the boots email bit!
Luda is now my buddy!
I can't message Bianca or gibberish as buddy request is still pending for some reason....
