[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)

Right we can give ourselves a goal, arrange a meet up maybe in June/July and aim to be at a certain weight by then?

Im sort of still here my dh was away last weeek so it was rather hectic looking after the kiddies on my own dd was also ill with a chest infection joy and is off today with the dreaded tummy bug it just gets better dosent it.

If someone wouldnt mind updating me please iv lost track where I am but need to try and get back on it. Im currently 12lb 13 I was that on friday when I weighed in. I have 14 weeks until we go away on holoiday so I really need to shift some weight.

Blondes you are doing fab 2 stone loss brilliant x

ooh and thanks for updating me

welcome laughalot you did put some on since last wi :( but we will kick your arse again to help you on your way :)

bonjourno.....

well, I have chatted to him on FB.... will copy the post I just wrote a friend, hang on....

ok. so, 20 minutes of chat later.....

I think he likes me. He was very flirty and chatty. He wrote this:

"[spoke to xxx] She was ok about stuff (I didn't tell her about Saturday. That has to remain a secret) but at the moment I don't think yo...u and I going on a date is the most appropriate thing to do. How about we chat and get to know each other for the time being? I'll be in (town) from time to time for a beer and I have your number.........
I just don't want to cause problems
what do you say?"

so from that, he's still interested but being a good friend yes? He wants to hook up on FB some evenings for chat, and meet up if we're out at the same time. He just doesnt want to upset a friend. Thats a good guy isnt it?

I have his email address, so am going to mail him too. His phone is completely dead (so cant text or ring) but can mail.

what do you reckon guys? He also wrote

"How about next time I'm in (town) I can drop you a line. Or indeed if you're out in my neck of the woods then feel free to pop in for a cuppa!!"

I said "Ok, so chatting, maybe a beer but not calling it a date?
could work with that...." and he said "sounds good to me :-)"

So..... maybe a bit of "internet dating" until said friend gets herself laid and leaves us alone?!

I was getting worried about no text - turns out his phone is broken. His FB status is saying that and asking if anyone has a handset for him to borrow.

mmmmmmmmmm. what do you guys think?!

Oh, and he specifically said he was on FB some evenings and would like to chat to me then, as well as on phone when its fixed. He also initiated the chat on FB.......

so why would this mutual friend object to him going out with you?

if hes single and you both like each other then whats the problem?

sounds like she is jealous/fancies him herself

I too would be wary of the 'friend' situation. Similar thing happened to me in Sixth form (and yes, I know that we are older & wiser now & that sixth form was a long time ago!) Has he got history with this friend, is she a bit obsessive? Why does he think that you going out would be an issue, and if he likes you (in that way) and not her why is he so worried about upsetting her if nothing would ever happen IYSWIM? Tricky. But sounds like he is trying to have his cake and eat it & keep you hanging on. I could be completely totally & utterly wrong. Please don't be offended or hate me, that is just how I would feel & what I would think if it were me! If you like him, and are happy with the situation then go for it...baby steps! :)

Basically she's jealous. We were all in the pub together Saturday night. She had her boobs out and was all over every guy in there - no word of a lie. One by one they got fed up and left - and she turned her attention to this guy. They have been friends for a long time, and he has repeatedly said no to her as he doesnt like her like that, but she was very pissed off that he seemed to pick someone who was a) fatter b) shorter c) had 2 kids over her. The texts she was sending him Saturday night more or less said that.

He said he wants to get to know me properly to see if we get on well. With the kids, he knows I cant get out of an evening so has suggested chatting on phone/FB. Looking at it, he actually has a few mutual FB friends, so am confident he's not like that Bebe - especially as I met an awful lot of his friends Saturday night and they all spoke very highly of him.

He has more to lose than me - she is the cousin of his best mate. This could cause tension if she creates it. I think he wants to see how we get on, then go out a couple of times - not rock the boat unless we need to?

Just realised, I forgot to tell you the whole backstory!!! Basically, we hooked up Saturday, she went pysco on the text to him - but was texting me telling me to go for it???!. We are getting to know each other whilst keeping it from her so she doesnt wreck it before its started. Does that make sense??

sorry, seem to have taken over the weight group with my relationship woes!!

Bebe, she was texting him things like I was her closest oldest friend and things. To be honest I have seen her twice in the last 12 months - and not for about 6 years before that!! Only found out where she lived on Saturday, and havent rung her for over 6 months. So think she may have a few. Well. Issues?

this thread is about sex general chitchat and weight loss :)

sounds like she is totally insecure jealous silly tart to me and yes it may cause hassles if he goes out with you, but he should be able to say to her that he likes you and tell her to grow up

Oh yes Blondes - thats my aim, to get him reeled in so he tells her that once he gets to know me

didnt you say you lived nearish me? maybe i can go and sort her out for you?

FOC :)

just remembered something else she was doing Saturday night - showing people photos of her breasts with nipple clamps on from her mobile phone? Who does that?! (take photos and show random people in the pub, not wear nipple clamps, though cant say they're my taste!!)

She sounds lovely

Totally understand now! :) She definitey has issues! Best to get to know each other in secret & then he'll probably get the courage up to tell her to do one! Fingers crossed for you! :)

were they perky pistes

or baggy babs?

What are nipple clamps? i am probably out of touch!

She has problems, but the both of you have to live your own lives. she can't control what choices other people make. just to be clear, was she sending texts while you were together Sat night?

or in other words would she pass the pencil test?

Oi leave my pistes outta this!

I am going to have read this thread carefully cos I haven't really a clue as to what you are talking about - although I gather this is you Smokin and that Blondes has called someone a silly tart. Will read it!

Forgive me fellow slinkies father, for I have been eating lots of chocolates sinned.

It has been flubbalubalub weeks since my last weigh-in confession

I am sure you lot will help me get back on the straight and not so narrow
