I never wear jeans. I miss them actually. I don't think my old ones fit actually, my hip is wider. I'm a tights/leggings and skirt person.

Loving the diet chat. I started slimming world again on Mon. Really feeling motivated. I want to lose a stone to feel better, 2 would be amazing, more would be even better but.doubt I'll manage that. I've decided to do 6 weeks see where I'm at and then set goals.
On another positive note f woke at 3 as is becoming a habit, and I decided no matter what he wasn't coming out his cot, so I rubbed his back and sang and it took an hour but he did go back to sleep with only a small grumble at 1 point. So that's now my aim to settle him in the cot for night wakings. No more midnight cuddles as I think he often just wakes to have a hug but is then up 2 hours which is killing both of us in tiredness the next day!

I live in jeggins (sp?) and a long tank and long jumper. It's been my winter wardrobe of choice for a few years now. I have a huge collection of jumpers.

I've learned to knit! I taught myself NYE and I've already done 2 scarves, I'm really chuffed with myself, my Mum used to try and teach me and got really frustrated at my cackhanded-ness.

on a less pleasant note, I'm going to have the implant fitted on the 20th, the more I take Cerazette the more forgetful I'm becoming, I had a spell over new year where I forgot 3 in a row!! Luckily DP and I dint get to dtd hardly ever at the mo so it wasn't an issue but still, I need something I won't forget... I'm being verb shallow in worrying it will make me fat.

Soph I tried on both and couldn't tell a difference

I bought two pairs of next jeans (size 12) in June. One of the figure enhancing ones which I find perts up my rear end nicely. And still just about fits. The cheaper pair is now far too big and isn't as kind to my flab. I'm going to order regular jeans in size 10. They stretch with washing though.

Sounds yum Sophia.

I dreamt I went out and then realised I was only wearing leggings and a vest top - nightmare! I went into this boutique to buy something to cover up and everything was small sizes or very flimsy. Just as the shop was closing I found this dress with a dog paw print pattern which I could get into so I went to buy it and the label said it was made by PurplePidjin!

I am blaming the quiche for this.

:o

JJ that sounds ace!

Hurrah JJ :o

11st11 at 5'5" and a 12-14 here. I need to shift 11lb to be pre preg weight and a further 7lb to be where i want. Anything under 10st and i look vile I'm currently blaming the implant as i eat pretty well and don't snack or drink soft drinks...

MFP = islawils92. I am still fiddling with it trying to work it all out.

You know, I hadn't even considered the implant as a reason for me struggling to lose weight. I need it taken out. I am on my 4th period in 6 weeks now

I'm 5ft 3 and have absolutely no idea how much I weigh. Not weighed myself for years. I'm not so worried about the amount I weigh, it's more the dress size I am, although the 2 go hand in hand. I'm quite an odd shape. Big boobs and tummy but fairly small everywhere else. I'm a 14 at the mo and would like to be 12 (in some things I am). I hate my huge flabby tummy so going to work on getting rid of that by generally eating more healthy and exercising more. Will help when I've finished my stack of xmas choccie. DH bought me 6 slabs of galaxy cookie crumble and there's no way I'm not eating those!

Well considering we had a very unsettled start to the night here E slept till 7:20 which i was surprised at. Temp was 39.2 this morning so calpoled again. She's still drinking fine but not really eating. Will see how today goes.

Oh gosh I'm thinking of cancelling the implant now!

Oh crap tits how insensitive of me, I must have missed your post!! Not everyone reacts the same. I can't tolerate the pill or any other form of hormonal contraception tbh. I don't know what to do really

Tits maybe go for a plain old copper coil? No need to remember anything and without the batshit hormones of the implant? After we have our second I'll be back on it, before eventually DH will get the snip.

Pidj in my 20s I was never above 10 stone but now if I weigh less than 10 stone I look awful. I have a long face and when I'm under 10 stone I look ill and haggard in the face. For me 10 to 10.5 stone is ideal now. 11 stone and up makes me feel fat.

PR my problem area is saddle bags rather than my bum so I didn't see the benefit of the pricier jeans but if your bum was what you wanted perking up then they'd be great .

J has just had a massive sticky mustard seed poo. He has a slight temperature but otherwise is happy in himself. I'm wondering if he's reacting to the v high dose of ABs I'm on?

pidj I'm about the same weight as you, 5'4" and a larger size 12. Would love to be a 10. I've started dieting this week with a colleague at work. We have Go Ahead bars for breakfast, slim fast for lunch then a normal meal for dinner. I haven't weighed myself but can tell if I lose weight by how my clothes feel. I think I've lost a couple of pounds already.

I have spoken to DP about bringing the wedding forward and doing it asap but the main reason I decided against it is because I want to lose some weight first. I want to look good in my wedding photos, not some massive lump.

I fell pregnant on the coil so they won't let me have another! I'm doing fine on Cerazette I think I'll just stick with that, I've heard nothing but horror stories about the implant. Why fix something that's not broken eh?

Don't worry about scaring me off it, I have been doing my own research and the verdict is that for every person that is fine on it, there seems to be five more that have begged to have it removed after a few months/weeks.

Cerazette was a nightmare for me. Vasectomy was the most suitable form of contraception for us, and completely painless for me. Though of course unsuitable if you want any more...

DP is still set on one more, I've agreed to discuss it in 3-4 years time. Cerazette has been fine, no bleeds, no weight gain, acne, mood swings. It's just making sure I remember to take it!

Set an alarm on your mobile or tablet?

I am hannah2773 on MFP I have reinstated myself and sent out a few friend requests. det nit sure you are you because it says it is a man who is 25

I have a box of cerazette somewhere but haven't taken one for months. I know my cycle quite well though so don't think the chance of pregnancy is very high. If it happened we would both be pleased but we aren't actively trying. I didn't get on with the implant either, I had the same issues as Isles which is why I had it taken out.

I'm just over 5ft 7 and 10 stone 10. I got down to 10 stone 4 with slimming world but it's crept back on a bit. I'm now a size 14 again.

I've just started Dukan attack and lost 2lb overnight. Atkins never worked for me but I can see this diet would work as it's lean meat, low fat dairy and a sprinkling of oats. Not hugely different to the Slimming World Original plan I was doing.

I found out on Tuesday that my old doctor had out me in a thoroughly inappropriate contraceptive pill when my son was 3 months old and it could have been the reason why my milk slowed down and my son went from the 50th centile down to the 3rd until he was weaned at 6 months. I cried so much during that period and nearly gave up so many times, took supplements and went to breast feeding network meetings for advice etc.

I am SO fucking angry about it I actually feel tearful.

DP would be over the moon if I got pregnant now, I'd be devastated for a bit then suck it up and get on with it so I keep the pill close by.

I'll set an alarm and I'll also put it with DS1's meds so I can take it when I dole out his in the morning.

DH would be understandably very pissed off if I got pregnant now :o I think it would be perfectly valid grounds for divorce :o
