Think it might happen sooner than we think Blondes - he has chatted to me on FB 3 times now, and each time he's instigated it.

and last night he told me I was like no one he had met before - beautiful, intelligent and sense of humour Blush

am not used to all these compliments!!!

And I had a guy in Asda try and chat me up this morning!!! Grin

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/03/2011 17:16

i read it as a tuna flavored hot cross bun Grin

GettinTrimmer · 24/03/2011 17:38

ooooh smokin that's exciting!! Yes agree with blondes got to get on with your own lives. Friend will get over it.

will link later on blondes, offer accepted on house.

Blondeshavemorefun · 24/03/2011 17:57

yah offer accepted :)

whens moving date?

smokinaces · 24/03/2011 20:05

yeay to offer accepted!!! so exciting!

GettinTrimmer · 24/03/2011 21:21

No idea about moving date, have to wait for probate to get sorted. Although ds has just said there's not much garden to play in, alot smaller than the one we have now, but we can fit in a trampoline for them now we are not on a slope and theres enough room to have a bat and ball game. We are close to the park/beach/castle so we take them out.

I'll pm you with link any slinks interested in having a look, just think I don't want to out myself or any information about sale.

bebejones · 25/03/2011 08:31

Damn it!!! 3lbs on!!!!!!!!!! :( Looming AF and the PMM, hoping it won't stay put Hmm I'm feeling SO bloated & my jeans are really tight! Have started gently doing sit ups again to try & 'help'. Walked miles around the wetlands centre with DD yesterday too & am taking her to the big hill later. 10lbs to lose by June 18th, I really need to get my head in the game!

I'm food focusing again. Sounds like we all need some encouragement!

some inspiration

Although I'm not sure any of us want to overdo it Wink

Anyway, that's me logged today's food on FoodFocus, so hopefully I'm getting back in the Zone :)

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2011 12:20

laughalot commiserations :( do you have that pesky af staying with you?

pretty welcome back,sorry for your gain :( but lets all kick start ourselves today

'shudders' at pic 2 - it would be like shagging a man - wonder if has a dh?

laughalot · 25/03/2011 12:50

Pmsl at that picture gross. My af isnt due yet got a week left of pills. I am not going to let it get to me and try really hard again next week its only 14 weeks till I go away. Pretty you can do it keep going.

smokinaces · 25/03/2011 13:27

Sorry to hear all the stay the sames and gains Sad Hopefully this week will be better for everyone?

1lb off here. This last month Blondes I think I have lost maybe 2lb? I have definately been maintaining so far - hopefully the nice weather will motivate me to lose that extra stone now. Have changed my target to go inline with the hospital target - so 13lb to go! Then will look at doing another 7lb.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 25/03/2011 14:16

I have my lovely Tokyo refugees here which is great but please don't forget me if I'm not around as much. < Piste pauses for dramatic effect, but then realises no one is actually too worried !> I have lost one pound, which is fab, but essentially I am the same as I was last summer, if you remember I took DC surfing to Devon mid August and when we came back I was 11:9, so I reckon I am just going up one or two and down one or two. The running has changed my shape certainly, my legs and arse are different, and people keep asking if I?ve lost more weight but I haven?t, it?s more about toning I think. I wish when we started this I?d done measurements, I know some of you did, but I didn?t even think to.

Lovely Mrs B - another gorgeous sunny day!
I?m so glad things are on the up, you have had such a grotty time for a long time, but you are a strong woman and so positive. I?m so glad you are coming out of the other side. Enjoy your time off, your WA and your shagging!! Shagging is good exercise, so it will be interesting to see how much you have lost by next Friday! Maybe like a whole stone ?!!

Lovely GT - fingers crossed for the next stage of the house sale process. Hope it goes smoothly. I also thought you?d had a tuna hot cross bun, and though Hmm PM me with a link cos I loooovvvveee houses and am essentially very nosy Grin One of the houses DH and I bought was on probate and when we first looked round the lady?s stuff was still there and I kid you not, there was her bed that she?s died in with a dent in the pillow

We have a big trampoline too, I would love to go on it more but when I did I laughed so much I genuinely nearly wet myself!

Lovely Smokin - sorry you gave a vampire in your family, and a very big well done in being discharged by your consultant. You should preen!

Lovely Bebe - thank you for the cake ideas - hopefully if DD has time tonight she is making one like a wedding hat, one with bunting on and one with a Union Jack piped on. ( You are only allowed to enter three ) I do not hold out hope as we are the least crafty family in the world. Her talents lie in sport, but she is going to give it a go.

Scary pics from you, that lady is horrific, unless it is you or a picture of your friend in which case she looks amazing!! Sorry for your gain - you did say you were grazing on stuff, those munchies are a killer esp. pre period ones, maybe we should think of a group strategy?!

Lovely Laughalot - do not weep, STS is excellent, and we al know that weight loss isn?t consistent or reliable. Don?t give up though, because next week will be better.

Lovely Pretty - the sunny weather is making me feel more in the zone. The shred and food-focus will help too, as will your looming birthday. Don?t give up girl!

Lovely Murtette - hope your job is still going well!

Lovely Smalline, Lovely Hecate - hope all is well with you.

GettinTrimmer · 25/03/2011 20:57

Hi all

Bebe that 3lb will soon go off again.

Blondes well done anyway on sts. Those stats for your measurements, is that what you've lost since January?

Pretty, I have decided to do foodfocus again as from tomorrow, well done for starting back on the shred tomorrow.

laughalot good to see you and well done on sts , it's just too easy to gain.

piste, well done on the 1lb loss

Smokin well done on loss. How's it going with new man?

I'm not looking forward to wi tomorrow.... Have just had chinese Blush the thought of my summer clothes is getting me motivated.

bebejones · 25/03/2011 21:02

No was a choc egg for me from my MIL! DD still has plenty! Envy Wink I seem to have no restraint at the moment & no willpower! I really really really am going to be better over the weekend/next few weeks!

Trimmer - I think I need to have a look at my summer clothing options to motivate myself! Very Envy of chinese, yum! Good Luck for WI!

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2011 21:30

I had a Chinese for lunch with my lovely mummy friend

Baby squid, prawns,char Sui pork, boiled rice and mange tout and beansprouts

Was yummy :)

trimmer are you stopping ww and going back to counting calories?
Good luck with WI

Blondeshavemorefun · 25/03/2011 21:36

Yes stats are since jan 2011

Since we started jan 2010

Waist 15cm
Hips 12cm
Leg 9cm
Arm 3cm

So 51cm in total
