In keeping with all the weight talk, I'm watching Supersize vs Superskinny and the super skinny weighs one stone more than me Pig, I shall be following your progress with interest. How are you finding eating that many calories?

Oh, and Isles, I am similarly astonished at how I escaped uni unscathed

Chasing, some days are easier than others. I thought yesterday would be way off, as only had sandwiches for lunch and tea, but exceeded my expectations. But today, was too busy for lunch so am a meal down. Smoothies, milky drinks are key. Am getting between 300 and 500 extra calories a day with them. Plus anything with dried fruit it. I will do it.

That's good pig. I have porridge with full fat milk every morning. Smoothies might be a good bet too. How about nuts too? They're fairly calorific so maybe a good snack for you to eat on the go?

I, however, am astonished that my virginity didn't grow back while I was at uni.

BigPig i think i definitely had anovulatory cycles as they came back at 3 months. I think i am ovulating now, even though my clearblue monitor is giving me a cycle full of highs just to mess with my head.

I saw the doctor on Tuesday and he wasn't the slightest bit interested in running tests unless i planned on self funding IVF. He said if i was having regular cycles i was ovulating, he also seemed unconcerned about my age and the fact that i will be forty in 13 months.

Flap jack made with butter, honey and golden syrup. Lots of oats and a massive bag of mixed fruit and nuts from aldi. Delicious, energy giving and extremely calorific

Yum yum.

Dh and I just chuckling over Mrs Browns boys

I'm gutted I wasted my uni life on 1 very unworthy boyfriend - although I'm pretty sure he wasn't faithful so I am glad I escaped uni unscathed too! :)

Babbles away but can say 'no' and 'hiya'. Today climbed some stairs under close supervision! Can stand up unsupported but not walking yet.
13 months old.

Hi quiche :) We have had a fusspot mardy man all day and tooth #5 appeared this afternoon! Bless him, hope he has an ok night

I went to sw, I am fatter than last time :( I'm so crap! I am 5ft 2, and 12st 10.5lbs. Meh :( I am comfier in a 16 cos I like baggy, but I used to be a 10 damnit, before I had e. Was a 12 when I got pregnant. I want to be someone else is what I want to be, rather than a thinner me. I need about 3st off though, on a more serious note. Clothes wise I have lived and died in the same outfits since I had E. 3 pairs of jeans, half a dozen tops and a couple of jumpers, one pair of leggings and a dress. Am rubbish.

gah to fh being drunk gt hope things were ok?

good luck with your assignment lily

That's good ditsy that he went back to sleep :) fc for the same tonight then :) or obviously just no wake up in the first place but still, you know what i mean

My implant does my swede in. It's a pita. I am currently on a very heavy period after not bleeding all over xmas, which was nice, but it means it'll be about 2 months of bleeding now pretty much. I would get it taken out but i'd forget to take the pill and i'm protein S deficient and am not supposed to have it.

Thats horrible sebsmummy :( It doesn't sound to me at all like your son has suffered in any way from being a bit smaller for those few months, which obviously doesn't make it ok, but please don't worry that any damage has been done :)

I know what you mean fatima E's clothes sorting is a never ending cycle, he grows out of things by the time i finally get his clothes organised and put away properly - and I am forever washing them/putting them away so it's not like i'm just being lazy with it, he literally grows out of things whilst they're waiting to be washed and they don't fit the next time I go to put them on!

good luck to everyone losing and gaining weight, hopefully we'll all get to where we want to be :)

night lily

hi varya

Hello all, I've had a good day today. Been out to town and grabbed some wonderful conditioner, and had a healthy lunch. I've had my housing benefit come through so yay! So I've bought my self a house phone.

Not sure who to call first?

Ditsy better to have wasted your uni years on an unworthy boyfriend than the rest of your life! I'm just starting to see a spate of divorces in my friendship group of those that married their first 'real love' aka a lad they hooked up with at uni just out of school and whom now have grown up / apart. It's sad but sometimes our first loves are better at teaching us about what we don't want than necessarily being what we do want. I'd die if I had had to marry the first BF who proposed to me. Such a bad match!!!!!

Isles I know exactly what you mean (but probably not vair compatible with new house and career just yet ). A lady at playgroup has a new squeaky wee one and my heart melted .

So Jonas' CMPI seems now to just result in sleeplessness rather than colic /pain Poor DH.

Hello newbies. Welcome to the quiche :)

chasing and pig eating normal meals plus an extra slim fast or two a day will possibly help you put on weight. I know someone who did it to normalise her underweightness. Considered it a healthy snack. Recommended it to me back in the days I was desperate to put on weight but I didn't want to even consider slimfast (too much like milkshake in my head)

sebsmummy try not to worry too much. I have four lovely monsters in two blocks of two! (Long story you may have picked some of it up) anyway using 3 and 4 and my example; I wanted to have number 4 ASAP after number three and we started trying straightaway, but I didn't t fall pregnant until DC3 was 18months. Now looking back I think my body just wasn't ready to be pregnant again. ( because interestingly I was keen to have DC2 and attempted that when Dc1was one and miraculalously at exactly 18 months I became pregnant). So what I am saying is, it takes a while for your body to adjust after a baby and don't panic if things don't happen straightaway.

Also I did homeopathy to regulate my cycles and a reflexology session just before I fell for Dc4, all that kind of stuff is worth a try. I was just about to book for acupuncture as well! (Oh and was 39 when I had Dc4)

Happy to host Quiche retreat weekend if prwill give me a hand! For some reason trying to get the ILs to come over for dinner is painful. Don't know what's going on there. I invited PILs and SIL and 3 kids for Sunday dinner. And MIL said Ohhhh that will be too much for you. WTF? Where did that come from. So PILs are coming but SIL has said she will cook for her and kids. Now. I think, knowing track record, MIL has told her not to come because apparently I can't do a roast dinner for 5 adults and 5 kids. Is a much easier than doing half the other stuff I have done for more than that in the last few months. Same As I would do for the four of us just a bit more of it.

Anyway feeling exhausted with the whole fitting in and family politics malarky today.

And PmT has taken me by suprise about a week early that I had thought.

Hear hear yw my mistake marrying my first proposal. Infact my second proposal was the wrong way round and I proposed to DH over a shitty nappy change. Romantic hey?

Omg if I had married the first bloke I got engaged to I honestly can't imagine how my life would have turned out. He was such an arse. Rich and living in Singapore now but still an arse by all accounts. I would probably be on baby number 4 at least, not allowed to work, and berated on a daily basis for getting fat and dependent (he had some wonderful theories about women who depended on husbands and mothers who worked, which were 100% contradictory). His poor mum was treated like shit by her dh and him and his brother :(

I'd love to lose all the weight I put on but I think it will be more difficult. I've started to do the yoga again in the mornings, just to help with my muscle core.

How worried should I be if the coil disappears? It want there this morning and I can't really feel it now.

I'm so glad I didn't marry my first proposal either - he was a nice enough guy but I was completely and utterly bored. Although marrying my second proposal would have been worse.... third time lucky, hey?

Oh, sophia I don't mind giving to you a hand if it means some time out!

What about a SW meet? I'd love to see you all again. And this time I don't have to worry about a crazy ex.

I have a few random Mondays off over the next few months, so could attempt something. Other than zamboni, there aren't sny more sou'westerners, are there?

Have just booked night away with dh, am feeling v excited! I've picked a lovely country hotel in the cotswolds, hopefully he'll be equally excited when I spill the beans.

Chasing third time was the charm here! First was nice but dull, second was exciting but sociopathic, DH is just right. I agree with Lily stick with condoms as it's early days yet.

This is where we're headed.

I want to do a meet too. IF we come to the UK in July I can do anywhere from North Lancs to Gretna. DH will insust on popping into Scotlnd for the whisky shops the jolly. Could maybe dump the girls for a night and get to Edinburgh. Andhe really wants to see Old Trafford so a Manc meet up. Last year I disappointed as we needed to rest, but this year? Maybe?

Southwest then PR! Thats where it's happening
