2011 Weight Loss Club: Super Sizzlers Slinking Sylphlike into Summer

[RatherBeOnThePiste]

Welcome one, and welcome ALL to our 10th Thread, celebrating the long haul that has been central to our successful weight loss...

There is certainly lots more success to be enjoyed, so stay and weigh, there is always someone on hand for support or to give a kick up the backside as needed We are good at motivating one another that's for sure!

Passes out the champagne that looks suspiciously like wine, Blondes you are only allowed ONE!

Cheers and cue the confetti!!

Didn't have a chance to come on hjere yesterday, but I STS. Trust me - that was an achievement

I'll be sending Piste's dd positive vibes.

Well done Pretty :)

I'm feeling stressed (and a little distressed...bird saga for those on fb) have munched 1/4 tube of pringles...seriously, once you pop you can't stop! What on earth do they put in them?! Going to DN 1st birthday party later...eeek party food! :(

I agree with you about Pringles - impossible to resist once opened.

I've just made a successful batch of tablet (after a failed attempt last week), which is really nothing but concentrated sugar. I'll allow myself one square in my dreams, I won't be able to resist having more but really it's been made for the cake Stall tomorrow. Should be able to sell it for £1 per 4 squares.

Gave the pan to ds to scrape out, so that the temptation would be taken away from me. Unfortunately, he has just brought it back to me and has not done a very good job so I'll just have to finish it off for him

Well done on sts Pretty!
You've all done so well in the positive vibes because

Yaay!!
Silver for Flo in her sculling event
And gold overall for Richmond at the London Youth Games Regatta 2011!

Have only briefly spoken to DH but she will be delighted as she was the youngest and can be in the same age category for the next 3 years... Her race was sculling (2 oars) in a mixed double which would have been good cos they never row mixed and she usually only does 4s and singles. And she knew the boy from swimming club days.

So all is good. Except For DS who is revising
But I'm in the garden again and it's lovely

How's the bird in the chimney ?

God I've the munchies really bad der ley.
I really want custard creams and Twiglets.

Just had my (single) piece of tablet: veeery nice :) - if ever slightly too soft. But not bad for my second first successful attempt in 20 years - especially as I can no longer ask my mum for advice.

Oh - and congratulations to Piste's very talented dd. :):)

well done pretty :)

Well I didn't have custard creams or Twiglets. But it was a test because the others decided they were all going to make fish finger sandwiches. Ffs.

But I didn't have one.

Well, at least they didn't have Fish Fingers and Custard!

that reminded me to look at your Dalek cake.. Very much better than mine tbh!

I was of the fish finger sandwiches although I think I should disapprove somehow?!! But I would have wanted HP sauce and there wasn't any. They all stuck ketchup in.

i like ff sandwiches, with salad cream!!

think im gonna have to write off this week as well, pub lunch earlier and then acake and just out for dinner and had cheesey garlic bread, and pork in parma ham,pots and courgette strips

Fab nosh Blondes but it is only Sunday now, so there is plenty of time to get back on an even keel as it were..

I've just remembered I've got my trial boxercise class today...

Am not feeling so brave now...

And also joining the gym. But have to book in for the induction before I can go. I'm hoping that will be with some fit young man

Wish me luck Slinks!

and out today for lunch with aunty p so more food :( :)

enjoy boxercise, i love it

But very nice to be out for lunch with AP I'm sure, so not on the food front at all - just enjoy !

Class is at lunchtime. Am worried my arms will fall off.

I loved boxercise! It's totally mad! And I really liked hitting those pad things, had to do skipping which I haven't done for years, good music etc. It was really only about 25 mins tops. But my arms are on fire! Bloody hell!

But different to the running. Am signing up. I think it will go from a week on Thursday.

If I had strength in my arms, I'd do thumbs up for boxercise

glad you enjoyed but only 25mins?

our class is an hour!!!!

'mutters under breath'

pisty is a wimp!!

I fully acknowledge my wimpy tendencies and fully bow to your superiority Blonde One.

What a difference a day makes on the weather front. On Saturday I was lying in my garden slowly roasting. Today I was practically washed away. It's chucking it down now. And fffrrreeezzzing.

Was very good On the food front today but wanted cake.

glad you have attempted to try what i do
its fun and good :)

and yes :( at weather - i need to top up my tan :(

Attempting being the keyword there B!!

Wish me luck everyone. It's school exam week. Not serious exams yet just end of year ones. But I have one child who stresses if she doesn't get at least 100% and one who needs a bomb up his backside.

good luck piste

right im gonna get back on slinky diet

other jeans are tight round thighs, this 7 lbs is coming off :(

'kicks blondes butt'

cant be a fat widow

It's just amazing how weight goes on isn't it Blondes

I wi this morning, lost 0.5lb. I need to exercise, it makes a big difference, with exercise it would easily have been 1 or 2lb. Cans of lager didn't help over the weekend

Pisty your ds needs a bomb up his backside, mine was saying the government shouldn't exist because they tell schools to set homework.

I am a bit house negotiations gone pear shaped. dh was unhappy over the weekend, he does not feel 100% about the house, I don't know what's going to happen.

I will have to leave the decision up to him as if he moves and is not happy, well that's going to always be a bone of contention. He was going along with it as there is not much on the market atm and I liked it, but he saw something he liked a lot more on the internet.

His feelings were brought to a head when the executors got very unhappy about having to pay a stupid indemnity insurance and even put pressure on us via the estate agents to instruct our solicitor to stop asking for it. Then we got told by our solicitor it's needed to reassure the building society and can't proceed with the sale without it. It is £140 (maybe they thought it would be very expensive). Dh also decided to ask for a reduction in the asking price at this late stage which will really upset them

It's not him who has to face our buyer at the school gate

I meant to say he's only asked for £1000 reduction as there's some electrics to do. I don't think it's unreasonable, but they are going on about what a good price we've got the house for so they will

Sorry to bang on, I just have to get it out!

How is everyone else today?
