Oh...and happy birthday for yesterday Cheerful

Think they were posted on saturday, so knowing how this thread moves, a few pages back!

Oh well done Alibaba and PA! Barriers are being broken all over the place.

I have finally got round to downloading my CD onto my Walkman and the blasted thing won't load.

It is jumping all over the place and keeps going back to the beginning so I am going to have to buy another copy. Unfortunately, I was reminded, as I was listening to it whilst it was ripping of just how annoyingly and unnecessarily croaky PMcK is so I am in two minds. Did somebody say there were other versions now? I will have to go and look on Amaon I think.

Thanks Silvery I've now copied and pasted the recipe into my word file which contains a whole load of MN recipes which look fabulous and which I never get round to making but I'm loving the idea of these cheese muffins so this may be a first thanks to Fab

I told you they were yummy! .

I have just made jam roly poly for the children but DH would like some so we will have a bit as well tonight.

Muffins sound lovely! :)

It's 6:30 here and I am determined to Paul all day. We'll see how it works :)

PA that is fabulous!

Happy Birthday for yesterday Yank

Whoever was talking about pilates, I have a DVD which I've used in the past and even doing just the warm up part in the morning makes me stand up straighter and walk taller. Must dig that out actually and start sorting out my tummy muscles.

Ali, it feels great doesn't it? getting past that barrier

PA, that's fantastic :)

and Knave! brilliant m'dear!

I went to my stretch and supple class this morning and the minute I started, my legs felt like I'd run a few miles last night! so those Shape Up trainers must be doing some good :)

CY, hope your birthday was a lovely one.

Niecie, I don't find PMK's voice croaky at all...I wonder if it has changed then.. Hope you can sort it out soon. How are you doing today? and have you see flo around?

Well done PA & Ali! Such fab reults!

Keep upi the positivity girls, I find so inspiring :)

Im off for another run tonight! I will be running the whole 5k at the Race for Life!

Yay! good for you HowTo :)

Thanks Solo

Good luck and belated happy birthday CY

Yay for HowTo! You can bloody do this

HowTo, that other thread has 17 posts to date and six of those are ours...wonder how it's going for them? I'm not going back in there to find out though...felt very unwelcome!

Hello everyone - what brilliant results on the clothes and weightloss everyone, I hope to be joining you all soon. And all of this exercise going on too.

I just wanted to say re the BMI etc, that it's not really worth much at all. Back in the day (when I was overpaid and without any dependents apart from the cat) I went to the gym with a trainer. This was a bloke who spent his whole life dealing with people's bodies and their weights, and he was always shocked at how much I weighed, because I didn't look as heavy as I was. So I could have a 34" waist and still be technically nearly obese if you went by my BMI. So, is cobblers.

PPfruit - good thought, we do do that sometimes, and must try it again more. I think I also just need to accept it a bit, and allow half an hour for all simple tasks to be performed. Although how she will cope at school in September I don't know...

Where is this other thread? [nosey emoticon]

www.mumsnet.com/Talk/big_slim_whatever_weight_loss_club/1216651-Anyone-want-to-join-a-thread-about-Eating-Less

Put your dark glasses on first though!

I'm going running at 8, so you can all will me on in spirit

I ate way past my hunger at lunchtime, so probably wont feel hungry for ages yet :(

yes onesandwich 1 of my mindees sister was a dreamer she 'dawdled' down the street all the time her mum just put up with it she was also v. bright and sweet natured like yr. DD? they're' somewhere else'.

Solo - maybe croaky isn't the right word. I dunno, something irritates.

Maybe it is because it sounds like a hypnotist's voice and whilst I know it is doing me good and it is meant to be hypnotic, I still feel like somebody is trying to manipulate me and mess with my head.

I shall persevere it and have another go later. Can't see any marks on the CD that would make it jump though. It is so old it is probably out of date!!

Is there room in here for a not-so-little 'un?

I've been reading your thread - it's taken me three days now! - but I wanted to read it all before I posted. I'm so impressed with how well everyone is doing!

I just bought the book and CD last week and I have listened to it every night so far. Am I the only one that thinks of sex when I listen to it? It's better now, but the first few times were .

I've noticed some small changes so far. I have to say that I don't feel like I am making a conscious effort at all but I also don't want to make a conscious effort and become obsessed and/or feel like a failure if it doesn't work. In the past I've done WW, and low-carb and I tried something similar to this without the hypnosis, but it was supposed to make you examine why you overeat. I'm not really interested in the introspection, I just want to lose some weight!

Anyway, little bit of a breakthrough this morning. Went grocery shopping, where I usually treat myself to a mahoosive chocolate bar which I scoff in the car on the way home. I still bought it this morning, but I only ate half of it. The other half is still out in the car, and not tempting me at all right now. That doesn't sound all that impressive, but it's HUGE to me! I have to go out shopping again tonight and I'm pretty sure I'll scoff the rest of it then. It's still a breakthrough though, because ordinarily I would treat myself again on tonight's shopping trip. Yay, me!

Anyway, just wanted to say I was here and following along!

ppfruit, yes that's her alright. For your entertainment, this evening's conversation: DD is going to the toilet; her tea is being served out.

-DD, are you coming?

• I'm just pulling my pants up.

Three minutes of silence follow.

• Are you washing your hands yet?
• Um, I'm just trying to do my popper up, there I've done it.

Several more minutes of silence follow, eventually I realise I can't hear running water.

• Are you nearly ready?
• I'm just turning the tap on Mummy!

Ever since she went to nursery, her targets have always included, to learn to hurry up. It's usually the first one on the list...

Meanwhile, back on topic, I am off for a cycle ride in a bit. Am quite impressed with my dedication as I've driven a couple of hundred miles today so I am knackered. Even better, I didn't eat junk while driving - and when faced with my second Starbucks, ordered an expresso because my stomach just didn't fancy another bucket of milky drink. I am mildly smug!

DrMuffy, welcome, come on in.
I completely understand the chocolate thing, I"m the same. It is a huge step forward, don't doubt it.
I'm not having a good food day here, those bloody muffins are screaming to me!
I do feel hungry now though, didn't eat too much at dinner and am fancying chocolate cake.

I WANT SOMETHING TO EAT!!!!!!!!!!!

Ice-cream and lollies don't count as food do they?

Welcome DrMuffy.

Onesandwich - DD4 is a total day dreamer/ dawdler/in her own world! She is now nearly 14!! She has not improved massively, but i have learnt to shut up / give up live with it!! When she was younger she once took an hour to eat a tiny bread roll. SHe takes over 2 hours to have breakfast and get dressed every morning, still! How many times have I explained to her that she need not get up at 6.30 in the morning if she learnt to hurry up!! Nothing gets through. No amount of screaming, shouting, cajoling, bribery. When she takes ages upstairs getting dressed in the morning I ask her if she has got lost between the kitchen and her bedroom!

Danger time approaching for me here. Everyone is out of the house. I am alone!! I would normally raid my chocolate cupboard. So far I am resisting. I dont need to. I dont even really want to. I can do this!!
Jeans are still on. They have stayed on all day and are still comfortable, although a little tighter round the middle since my roast chicken!
