I am back from Docs. He reckons viral infection, possibly type of flu that's going round here. She's on a bit of a high right now, just waiting for the crash!! Hmm

She is very happy coz he gave her a sticker! She sat in the chair by herself & did everything he asked & told him what hurt etc! So grown up!!! Where has my baby gone?! :( I have not been good diet wise today. Had about 4 hours sleep so I figure I'm entitled to a weekend 'day off'!!

Smalline · 11/04/2011 18:30

Stayed the same and am going back to saturday weigh in.

Hope DD get better soon bebejones

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/04/2011 19:24

well done smalline

JaneS · 11/04/2011 19:30

Hi,

I'm going to feel like a right twat if I'm in the wrong place, but is this a thread anyone can join or are you all on a dedicated mission of some kind?

If the first, may I come along and hopefully find some good old peer-pressure shame to help me along? If the latter, sorry to bother you and best of luck with the diets!

Smile
RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 19:43

LittleRedDragon - you are very welcome indeed! Lots of people doing different things to lose weight, lots of success too! But I have a feeling you've been here before.....

In which case welcome back!

Grin You're right, I was here a year ago trying to lose weight for my wedding! It's lovely you remember - thought prob. bad that I didn't stick around longer.

I was looking for a quick fix last time I'll admit, but now I'm quite fed up with it all and want to get properly healthy and fit as well as a bit slimmer, so it will be lovely to be able to pop in here when my resolve weakens.

I have to admit DH asked if I fancied Chinese tonight so I have been very bad and had two thirds of half a portion of crispy sweet and sour pork and some fried squid ... oops. Blush

But I am off swimming in a few minutes and raring to get in shape along with you lovely ladies!

RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 19:49

Lovely - well you are so very welcome back then!! Hope the wedding was all things lovely Grin

I might dig out that original thread because I think it may help with a bit of a kick up the arse for me!

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/04/2011 19:49

welcome back,add name to list and weight you are/want to be/want to get to :)

and for anyone else reading, anyone can join us, we have been doing this since jan 10 so long haul, but newbies welcome

JaneS · 11/04/2011 19:55

Aww, you're both making me feel all welcome, thanks so much! Smile

Married life is very nice thanks blondes - I have to say (as DH does), lovely day but Thank God we don't have to do that again! We're far too lazy for all the fuss. Grin

Anyway, here's the list. I don't know if anyone else is, but I might try posting weekly if I've managed to get some exercise done as I'm not good at motivating myself to do that either.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 20:06

There is a crashing sound as Piste comes through the undergrowth dragging the original thread

Here

REally interesting reading, and seeeing what we all wrote in those early days! And yes, lots of people did talk about measurements, I missed that, or didn't have a tape measure or sommat!

Have a flick through everyone and see how far we've come Grin

bebejones - you were the first of us long haul people to join

then it was meeee - I was still experimenting with names and was JingleAllTheWay, then Murtette and Mrs B, then LittleRed Dragon!

I'm going to look through for my comments, I've got my posts highlighted in purple so they stand out! Am looking for Trimmer and Lauaghalot now....

Lots of old friends - Jodie, Mummymels, Kazyr, Dis

We lost a few members didn't we - big list then many stopped

I'm glad almost 18mths on We are still on track :)

Long haul ladies

And lrd you need to pop on hourly daily rather than weekly lol

RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 20:25

On the original thread, I was saying I was bored by day 3, and Blondes got stuck in a blizzard! Bebe - you were worrying about a school reunion?!

This is what Blondes said thinking about the first weigh in after week one

LolMrs B!!

Still haven't found Laughalot or GT

OP posts:
RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 20:26

I know smokin and smalline joined us later though...

bebe - I cannot believe that you were 5 stone+ at that weigh in in January 2010. Blimee girl, you have done so well.

OP posts:
RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 20:27

15 not 5!! If you were 5 stone you'd be needing whole different kind of support thread!

smokinaces · 11/04/2011 20:45

I think I came on board in the summer last year? Then fell spectactularly off the wagon, and came back just after Christmas I think? I know I was 12st 11 at Christmas and am now 11st 7 ish (havent weighed this week, bad me)

smokinaces · 11/04/2011 20:47

Have been relatively good today, apart from the bag of Frisps and the 4 mini eggs. CousCous and veg for lunch, banana and yogurt for breakfast and quorn and veg for dinner. Just had a sneaking bowl of cereal though, as painted 2 more walls in the kitchen and am starrrrrrrrrrrrrving marvin.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/04/2011 20:51

you need to weigh smokin tho after sat/sun understand why you dont want to lol

RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 20:56

yeah smokin

OP posts:
smokinaces · 11/04/2011 21:01

I weighed Sat morning and was 11st 6, but I had been ill all night so reckon its 11st 7 especially after Sunday.

So put me down as a 2lb gain and 11st 7.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 11/04/2011 21:04

Get thee gone - waking the Dead!

bebejones · 11/04/2011 21:17

Welcom back LRD :)

Yeah I remember fretting about the reunion! We got another one in July!! Eeek! I am about 4 stone lighter now!

smokinaces · 11/04/2011 21:25

Yeay Bebe, thats going to be so fab for you - to go that much slimmer!!

and welcome LRD! Our paths havent crossed before on here Grin

JaneS · 11/04/2011 22:59

Ooh, that old thread is a motivator isn't it - I need to do a lot of work to catch up with you as I'm straight back in with pretty much my old start weight! Darn!

It's a real inspiration to see that it really can be done, though. Smile

Nice to 'meet you' on here too smokin. Grin

RatherBeOnThePiste · 12/04/2011 12:17

What can I get DD for her birthday next week? Well main present is sorted, (GHDs) I need something from DS, and from each of the two cats Hmm

She bad-er-ly wants an ergo ( all that rowing she does and she is super keen) but that is a no go. Too much money and they need a lot of space. DH said if she gets selected to go to GB trials he will build her a shed with one in. I did tell him that it wasn't beyond the realms of possibility Grin and she made him sign a contract!

Any way the ergo is not on. But what can I get her for smaller things?!
