2011 Weight Loss Club: Spring Slinkies successfully sizing down

[prettybird]

Brand new thread for the chatterboxes successful dieters supporting each other :)

Old thread is here

Wonder if this one will last until my 50th birthday? (beginning of April)

I do mostly cook from scratch. Although do have days where it's just fish fingers etc. But rarely use ready meals these days!

Cake business still happening...very very slowly. I quoted the woman on the wedding cake (which wasn't 40 cupcakes like she initailly said, but 80 plus cutting cake as she had 100 guests!) but she has ignored me ever since! How rude?! Going to build up by doing stuff for friends & family & sort of going word of mouth to begin with. Making a cake next weekend for DHs littlest sisters 13th Birthday! Really going to be a test, quite complicated with new techniques!

Hope you are feeling better Blondes & that your house remains nose bleed free!

Mega proud of DD, she's done 2 wees & a poo on the toilet today (asked to go, TMI sorry)!! She's refusing to use the potty but will happily sit on the loo! :o We are going hardcore at the end of next week (half term so got no out of house plans) & really hoping this will be it! Got postponed again lately coz she had the dreaded lurgy & was even less compliant than usual! But really hoping that now she is asking that this will be it!

Keep at the cake business Bebe. It's hard to get something like this off the ground, you'll need lOts of determination. People can be so rude sometimes very ill mannered. Just file it into your learning process and move on. Pain up the bum though.

Just run 3.5K. And now off for a couple of hours dry skiing with DC. Need to get DD's ski legs warmed up for her trip to Colorado next weekend.

I shall be knackered!!

silly woman bebe

i would love you to bake me some low fat banana cakes :)

well done smalline!

Blondes, hows the DH?

I am very much pre-menstrual. First one since coming off the pill too. Am craving crisps like no ones business. But, the size 12 jeans are really spuring me on - got a pair from Asda which fit too, am so pleased. Its been 6 years since I fitted in a 12. Gave in to a bag of wotsits last night, and some WW hoops tonight but otherwise been good.

Made Honey & Mustard Chicken and Parsnip hotpot last night - big hit with the kids and me. Bloody gorgeous, highly recommend it. Even bought myself a recipe folder to put recipes in So if anyone has any links to low fat meals, please post them!!

Chicken stew was super scrummy! Had a dessert too which naughty DH twisted my arm into making! BUT will be good for the rest of the week, I really really want to get back to at least/most 10st 6 like I was before Xmas.

Blondes - Just can't believe how rude it was not to come back to me, silly woman indeed! Quoted alot less than £200 for cake for 100 people, and that was barely going to leave me any money for myself. Not quite sure what she was expecting, wasn't gonna do it for nothing was alot of work!

Piste - Have fun on the fake Piste! :o

Smokin - Sounds really good. Parsnip hotpot sounds yummy!

mega yummy chicken and parsnips

next weeks dinner trial

am getting into my cooking now!

Dh is still bleeding every now and again but much better and least they stop now - he feels a lot better tho nose and underneath are sore and burnt :( but will heal

Smokin hotpot sounds yummy :)

Bebe have you put an advert on netmums ? Or place on gumtree - both are free

Poor MrB :(

Haven't done an ad coz to be 'official' I need to get certificates in food hygiene & register with the local council. So starting doing for friends to get some experience then will go from there!

You don't need to be official. Just put ad saying you love cooking and bake cakes and see what response you get

if anybody's around, tell me to stop snacking and lay off the wine....

phew...2 glasses of rose, bag of crisps and 2 oatcakes with a bit of cheese.

tomorrow bns soup, roast for tea.

Bebe your cakes are lovely, people will go for it when you are known.

Smokin thanks for links I need some ideas. And superb on size 12 jeans.

Blondes all the best x

and don't be put off by daft woman bebe, some people don't realise they are being more rude by not getting back to you.

Id be very nervous of doing it without registering incase I accidentally poisoned someone!!!! Although I suppose I could accidentally poison someone if I was registered!!

Trimmer - Bit late now but STOP SNACKING!!!
I'd have been less pissed off if silly woman had come back to me and just said 'Sorry, that's too much money' or 'We've found someone else'! Manners cost nothing & to just ignore me is bad manners IMO! But tis done now, I am making cake next weekend for little SIL, using it as a portfolio booster!

Yoghurt, soup & more soup & fruit for me today. Need to focus!

I suppose she feels embarassed or something so the easiest thing for her to do is ignore you

Yes Bebe, focus!!! I have sabotaged any weight loss this week.

Tell me off if I don't do this today:

Breakfast: boiled egg and soldiers (5)

milk for tea and coffee (4)

lunch: free bns soup

4 ryvitas/boiled egg mixed with low fat mayo/ free salad (8)

dinner: free veg, roast potatoes, quorn burgers, gravy made with granules (12)

free fruit

That sounds good, I may have a boiled egg for lunch, fancy it now!!

Peach yoghurt & grapefruit juice for breakfast here.

DH still in bed I on the other hand have been up for 2 hours with DD! She has been cute & adorable, she will morph into a monster as soon as he 'appears'!

Morning all.

weigh in here tomorrow. should be on track for 2lb I reckon, but AF due so could hinder it all! And going to a kids party today where I MUST stay away from the food table!!

Had weetabix and tea for breakfast, planning some kind of low fat ready meal for lunch and then carrot soup for dinner. Hoping this will help with weigh in tomorrow.

trimmer stay away from snacks and bad food - tho todays menu looks good

bebe place an advert on netmums NOW!!!!

smokin be good at party,nibbles are veeeeeeeeeery bad

Im off for another curry but will try and be goodish with chicken tikka/no sauce dish

Damn it! DH just gave me chocolates & cake for valentines day! (We have exchanged pressies today coz we won't see each other til the evening 2moro) If I eat nothing else except cake I'll be ok right?!?!

Going to check out netmums now, promise Blondes!

ooooh bebe, am so jealous! Ill have a bit of your cake

I managed to have a finger full of butter icing and a handful of carrot sticks. The cakes look gorgeous, but I resisted!!

had carrot and coriander soup for dinner with 1 slice of bread. hoping for a good loss tomorrow, fingers crossed!

Do you have a snack later on in the evening smokin? Sure you will lose tomorrow, you deserve to!

How was netmums Bebe?

I can't get my head round netmums at all! It's all a bit bright & cheery & OTT for me! Do I put ad in the local info bit under 'other stuff' or just post on the notice board?! Just not sure!

I try not to eat after 7 Trimmer. Just had 3 quality streets that were left in the fridge as really wanted chocolate which is unlike me, and a yogurt. Am done now, so fingers crossed.

AF was due yesterday, but didnt turn up, but am so premenstral. Bloody PCOS and first one off the pill means god knows when it will turn up - cant handle weeks of this though, will screw the weight loss up big time. I never ever crave chocolate, but I could eat every last scrap in the house right now. That and all the hula hoops and wotsits. I WILL RESIST!!

bebe, I have never been able to get my head round netmums!

bebe christ NEVER go onto netmums chat or you will be hon and fluffy kisses lol

put under notice board

smokin good luck with wi tom
