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!!

Thank you lovely Blondes and lovely GT - I am getting a grip now, then I shall berate DH about his stupid mother at a later time!

DD and I are going out later, we can spend loads on stuff and decorations. DH is back on Saturday and we are celebrating as a family on Sunday. He is still young enough though to be excited about the actual day. When the DC were small and DH was away, we didn't used to tell them it was their birthday until he got back, and then just celebrate it when he was here, and pretend that was their birthday, when in reality it could have been days and days before. Lol. They are a bit old for that now

On the up though.....I had a sneaky mid weigh in and it said 10 stone something!!! It hasn't said that for gawd knows how long!!

Blondes - I know exactly what you mean, it's so much harder to diet when you're with friends/family. Whenever I see my parents that's it - diet out the window!

Piste - Good for you!

I'm so glad your DS is still excited - I suppose if he doesn't know to expect presents from them, he won't know it's upsetting they forgot?

so hard to diet when with F&F :(

piste - no sneaky wi's 'slaps' and give ds a day to remember!!!

BUT.. you shouldn't be trying to diet when away, that would be silly. That would just spoil your time. You should be enjoying booze/food/ lying in the sun lol

and LRDTheFeministDragon - you are so not a flump!

DS will have a really good day tomorrow, don't worry! DD wants to make him a rocky road refrigerator cake later, but I'm not sure what that involves? Apart from a bloody great mess!

I imagine a bloody great mess would be the bit your DS would like the most!

rocky road basically choc sugar biscuits and golden syrup

Cheers lovely Blondes - that is exactly what DD can make for him this afternoon xx

welcome pretty piste :)

Welcome back LRD

I have just come across a pair of 3/4 white size 12 jeans that I could get into last year

I've had
1 slice toast & marmite
1 yogurt

green salad, olives, chick peas, salmon, low fat mayo (weird combination of left overs!)
2 small bananas
bag of low fat crisps

2 rice cakes with 1 tsp of peanut butter (rice cakes are my friend at only 29 calories each)

tea is 1 quorn burger/left over veg/small portion of potato wedges

fruit later to stave off the evening munchies

I've also been running today

Today I've had 2 boiled eggs, a glass of OJ (will have try to reduce cut that out if I am going to low carb but I don't function until I've had some OK in the morning ), 5 slices of wafer thin ham, a tomato, mozzarella lite & avocaod salad with an olive oil and lemon juice dressing for lunch, 3 brazil nuts, a few sunflower seeds and a skewer of chicken (about 1/4 of a breast).

I'm having BNS and sweet potato soup tonight.

I'll need to have another tea as I have the munchies.

had egg mayo bagel and crisps and choccy bar and a bacon butty

now out for pizza and wine

did i mention i may be gaining on friday?

I've been fairly good. had chicken and salad for lunch, chicken and veg for dinner - didnt even eat any of the pasta I did DS1. I have had a few yogurts and fruit too.

I did give in to a kit kat though.

And someone brought chocolate hobnobs (my FAVOURITE) into the office so I had to have 2 with my afternoon cuppa - been a crappy day. and a small cereal bar as didnt get back till late and was hank marvin and chicken took 45 minutes!

But on the whole quite proud of myself. I'm weighing in Saturday and hoping to be at 11st 12, what I was at the last weigh in so I can scratch the last few weeks off.

piste sucky about your DH's family. Ex-H's was like that, until we split, now they seem to make more of an effort thank god.

blondes enjoy. Its worth it. Honestly.

LRD welcome back!

Trimmer I have size 12 summer stuff too - need to get back to 11st 5 at least, so hoping this week I get to my 11st 12 I was last time. Pissed off looking at it like that that I have allowed it to creep back on though!!

pretty well done on a good day

Are you guys all friends on FB btw? Only there are 2 people on there (initials L and J) that it says Trimmer, Blondes and Piste are all friends with so wondered if it were you guys?

One of them is me :) I've changed my profile shot to one you should recognise from past discussions

Aaah, the pretty red dress

BTW though, you need to look at your privacy settings as I can see all your wall/photos without adding you as a friend

Bugger it - like Piste, I do check it reasonably regularly. Don't know if mucking around with fb on my ipod has altered them somehow.

I'll "friend" you if you want to send a request (but won't be insulted if you don't )

Evening all! Yes Pretty - check your settings, that was what undid my last foray into FB, when the parents scraped in and saw my Thai photos Then I had to give it up.

Blondes - fab nosh and booze - and thank you for that link for the rocky road - we've just made it, and added minstrels and maltesers (his two faves) If I remember I'll post a pic tomorrow. Hope you are having a really good night tonight - you seemed to start early enough!! x

I still feel sad for DS, he kept asking if the post had come this morning (it had, there was nothing) and where his pile of cards were. There is always a pile waiting for DD. Our family/friends with the exception of my MIL (who irritates DH much more than me) are lovely, just disorganised, and because they are all away I know nothing is coming. I mustn't dwell. Rant over. Anyway - Blondes - I ordered two cards online, a very lovely lady is sending one from Scotland ((hug)) and I've bought cards from the cats. He has lovely presents from us and DD. And a fab cake! All is well.

By now 12 years ago I was well into labour, let us just say that DS didn't simply pop out, and it was during the most violent thunderstorm London had had in years and years. He was born in Queen Charlotte's and that night the building was struck several times by lightening, it was on the news at the time, the computers went down and they were on emergency power. Dramatic stuff, and the first time the building was struck, the bang was enormous and the MW screamed cos she thought it was a bomb! DH looked like this And there I was with my legs in the air

Smokin - one of them is me!

Piste - fab story re DSs birth...comedic stuff...not for youa t the time, but looking back! :o

I have not been good today...had a picnic with a friend & the DDs!

Why can't I focus?! Gonna gain Friday, have been mega bad since the last weigh in! :(

At the time it was madness, but I think DH had it far worse, there was stuff I didn't know had happened until afterwards. The MW screaming did put me off my stroke though I must say!!

We did toy with the name Thor as a middle name for a while, but didn't go for it in the end, but we were talking to DS about this only the other day, and he really liked Thor!!

I think my settings are OK: I allow Friends of Friends to see my posts (which is why you could see them Smokin), which I'm OK with at the moment. But only Friends can see my contact details and birthday (and religious and political views, not that I've filled that bit in).

only friends can see what i write/post etc
