STEPPING IN FOR NORMA

Welcome one and all to our 5th thread

If you're just starting out or you've been following WW for a while and you're looking for support you've come to the right place! :)

There are lots of regulars who are well on their weigh (get it! ) Grin and others who have just joined us - we're a mixed bag, all shapes and sizes and all with different goals to achieve but we're all striving for the same thing. We're all here to will one another on with advice, support and lots of cheering!

Androbbob is our resident stat checker and keeps us motivated by totting up the total weight loss each week.

We're quite fast moving at times so just dive in - pour yourself a Wine or Brew and make yourself at home :)

CDL Grin

Noway I'm not a veggie either but those recipes sound fab, thank you from me too, I'm always after some inspiration for my lunches :)

NoWayNoHow · 22/03/2011 14:57

blondes if you're in Tonbridge, do you fall into the Sevenoaks-Westerham area or the Tunbridge Wells - Matfield area? So far, the only info I can find on either is that they're closed during the half term October 2010. Helpful.

LoopyLa · 22/03/2011 14:59

Wow, Noway you must be REALLY bored...

Don't you have any box set DVD's or anything you could watch? Grey's Anatomy, 24, etc????

Or dare I suggest some "gentle" exercise if you're ill Grin

NoWayNoHow · 22/03/2011 15:01

No TV for me now - DS is home, so I have the door open to the back garden so he can run and play with his toys whilst I sit on the chair with the netbook and watch him. That's about all the physical activity I can muster!

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/03/2011 15:04

Hi all, just a quick check in as not well & feeling very sorry for myself! Lost 1.5lbs as weigh in was yesterday but have since come down with a nasty stomach bug! Not been able to keep anything down since yesterday morning - the only thing I can cope with is peppermint tea & polo's!

Well done on the losses - I will try to catch up properly on this thread once it is safe for me to go downstairs to the computer! Think my body will be in total shock this week!

sparkle101 · 22/03/2011 16:16

noway OMG, have just registered DD with montesori up the road from me (avenues I think) we start next week. Poor your DH working in Margate! V V small world!

claire you're not missing anything in Kent (well my area anyway!)

Well done on the loss lou sorry you're not feeling yourself though, not pregnant are you?

Piffle · 22/03/2011 16:18

I have to weigh Every 3 days to weigh my dog who needs exact medications...
I'd never step on scales if it were my choice!

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/03/2011 16:21

lou well done on loss

piffle can you not just weight the dog in a crate on scales?

OP posts:
immortalbeloved · 22/03/2011 16:33

Afternoon all, hope you're all having a good day, hope all of you poorly people are on the mend soon

Thank you for the welcome Grin I will take your advice and order the shopping and eating out guides, I think I might try some of the snack bars too, I can't really moan about spending the money- I signed up through quidco and got £15 cash back so 3 months has only cost me £15, bargain!

Well yesterday was my first day, and it was ok, but, omg how quickly do the points go!! I need to do some serious shopping to get some low point foods in

Piffle · 22/03/2011 16:51

My dogs are 34 kg ridgebacks :) I cannot get their crate balanced on my little Tanita scales!
It's fine it does not inhibit me in fact it motivates me to avoid giving in to bikkies...

LittleFriendSusan · 22/03/2011 16:59

Yay sparkle well done for getting back on track and fab loss :)

Wizzler - great that people are noticing your weight loss. I too have had quite a few comments recently - gives you a real boost doesn't it? I'm always surprised as I don't really see it yet myself, but it must be showing somewhere!

hmc congrats on the size 14s Grin

Feeling quite inspired by all the running talk. Am planning on starting C25K some time in the next few weeks... I mentioned it on Sat when out with friends and my friend said she'd do it with me. Not sure how I feel about someone else knowing how unfit I am but I guess it would spur me on. I may have to get a bit of practice in first though... I cannot run to save my life but have always wanted to!

I love the mini-bites too - especially the lemon meringue ones. Unfortunately DP is quite partial to them too and keeps snaffling them of a weekend. Of course he doesn't just have one, more like half the bleeding packet.

NWNH - my sis used to live in Faversham. She's in Canterbury now - lovely part of the country! Am quite Envy of all you Kent lot!

Ooh, just seen the clock, time for me to go home!!

NoWayNoHow · 22/03/2011 17:37

LittleFriend I love Canterbury, I could spend every waking moment of my life there. Sigh.

Sparkle that's so spooky! I know exactly which nursery you mean - the group that owns it are building one in Faversham which I'm trying to get DS AND myself into!

Piffle · 22/03/2011 17:49

Have walked my ass off today and got 8 activity PP plus still got 7 dailies left...
It si my ds2's birthday today and the lady who made my wedding cupcakes has done his birthday cake...
Choc mud pie
I wonder how much I can eat or restrain from eating!

Blondeshavemorefun · 22/03/2011 18:46
