Not much to tell really CY well, not yet anyway.

He says he likes 'plump' women around size 16

He sounds a bit rotund! and is 6'3" tall...has a bit of a beard and really quite attractive...is also 'only' 45!!!

Will try on the sandals to see and if no good, will look in Sainsbo's for others. Green is not my best colour tbh, I only got it for the price and because I was a bit short of tops that fit (they're size 14 too!!). Maybe the white would be better?

Oh yes, I do have white Birkies.

Oooh, I do like 'em tall!

Me too!!! it's something I look for really as I'm tall myself!

Glad everyone is coming back :)

Solo I wore jeans on my first date with DH

Morning everyone cheerful!!!! I 2nd the welcome backs!!

Solo!!! How exciting!! a date when ??Yeah i agree jeans are fine and its great you're back P.M.ing properly again.

Ali have you tried the 'tapping technique' for yr migraine? it works for so many things.

Hi pp Yes, a lunch date tomorrow! struggling over the clothes to wear though. It will have to be jeans...

Can anyone answer me a question please?

In the morning I don't look too bad but by evening I look pregnant. Why?

Lack of core strength Fab. You need to do oilseed

Don't know FAB but me too...It must just be to do with being horizontal and/or the fact that you eat and drink during the day.

FFS

Pilates! Stupid phone.

I was wondering , did you mean take oilseed....

I used to do pilates.

Today has been a weird day. I thought about pre dc3 I would have cereal and toast for breakfast, jacket spud for lunch and then a cooked dinner and was never at the point of being starving, never had food issues in the way I do now and rarely thought about it. So, I decided I would eat like that. Had muesli for breakfast, lunch wasn't until 3 as not hungry until then and I had crackers and houmous and guacamole. DH and I are having corned beef hash for dinner. I don't feel like crying because I can't eat, are not thinking about food and not looking forward to food in an unhealthy way. I listened to the CD last night..

Anyone remember my amazing belly flattening\core strengthening exercise?? Also just keep pulling in those muscles counting to 20 as you do.

Oilseed for bellies is not as funny as it sounds 'cos since taking EPO and or borage\starflower oil every day sometimes twice a day my belly is not swelling like it used to!

I don't think I can take EPO.

Belly laughing at doing oilseed!!!

Solo I'm so pleased I made you belly laugh, they are good

Now - have you decided on clothes? White top and Birkies with jeans?

Fab - that is the zone I was in about a week ago, then it has all got away from me a bit, but I haven't put any weight back on again. Yes weird - but good weird. And actually - normal for people who don't struggle with their weight.

I must listen to the CD tonight. We are having a weekend at home which will help - being out and about and eating out all over the place last weekend did not help at all. Too much eating when it was time to eat rather than when I was hungry, too much booze (and associated random eating), and too much chips and cake.

ppeat - you mustn't be offended by this, but you remind me so much of my grandmother. She has a remedy, or an oil, or an exercise for everything! She is one of my favourite people so you mustn't mind that you put me in mind of her and make me smile :)

Yes, I think so Ali White top, jeans and white Birkies....Need to paint my toe nails now though

Hello! I'm back from the far flung outer reachs of Wales. Had a good time but have had my fill of in-laws for the time being. 14 of in a house for a week, including 6 children, loud BIL(he bought his guitar FGS) - quiet time is needed.

I thought of you all often, especially when I saw how much they all ate. . I thought Dh ate a lot - the rest of the family were far worse. We are talking heaps of food, piles of it. I can't and never could eat that much in one sitting. I have never had large meals. The buggers are all thinner than me and DH though.

I did not join in despite the food mountain that always seems to be left when a group of people all provide a bit - there is always too much and they were all trying to eat as much as possible. I didn't although I am not a total paragon of virute - I did indulge in the odd tea and cake session when out.

FAB - glad to see you back. I was worried about you - with good reason by the sound of it. Hope you are feeling better.

HowtoLookGood - Abcess sounds awful. I have had a dental one before. Hideous thing especially in your head - there is no escaping it iyswim. If it was in your limbs or lower body it is easier to block it out a bit but not in your head. Well, not for me anyway. I hope you are better.

Solo - Congratulations on the date. I shall also have to live vicariously and wait with baited breath for details!! Have fun.

Oh dear, I read the part of the thread I missed and now I can't remember what I wanted to say to some of you. To all those with baggy trousers or dresses or baggy anything, well done!! To all those struggling (if there were any of you), tomorrow is another day

Tomorrow is day one for me too. I shall weigh in in the morning and then make a fresh start. I have no idea what effect my week away has had but the holidays are over and I have no more excuses now. It is a bit late for my graduation next Saturday now - I was hoping to be able to buy something smart and smaller (still haven't got anything to wear) but it isn't to be but I hope by Christmas, I might have made some noticeable progress.

I haven't started listening to my CD again yet but I feel better already, calmer or something.

I had been trying that ridiculous hcg diet (for about a week) and was gaining weight and craving like crazy.

Today I did overeat a little, but not too much. And DH brought home ice cream (vanilla bean with chocolate sauce, yum! :) ) for DS and his friends and I haven't had any yet as I have not been hungry yet. So that is a major achievement!

What is EPO ppeatfruit ?

Morning all!

Nice to see you here CheerfulYank - you were talking alot of sense on the smacking thread.

Niece - sounds like a crazy holiday - very impressed you didn't go crazy with the food. Tomorrow I am going to be faced with a buffet - my biggest challenge yet

Solo - I've lost track, when is THE date?!

I am resolutely staying off my scales until at least Monday (I have lost weight this week which is great) - weighing every day is sooooo counter productive, it is another ingrained dieting practice I need to beat!

Incidentally - what does PM say in the 2nd half of the CD?!

Really hope the date goes well Solo. Enjoy and have fun!!

Welcome back Niecie. If I spent more than 5 minutes with my in-laws I would be considering chocolate cake and copious buckets of alcohol being the preferred option to murder or suicide!

Cheerful, I think EPO stands for Evening Primrose Oil, but I may be wrong.

Giganticus I also fall asleep often for the second part of the CD, but when I did manage to stay awake it is just more of the same, as far as I could see. He does say it doesn't matter if you fall asleep because the brain will still take it in.

DCs go back to school here on Wednesday. I am pleased with how I have done over the holiday, but I have not done as well as when I am working and they are at school, so I am hoping to get back to normal routine at the end of the week. Birthday on Thursday, so I may not be doing too much Pauling that day!

Have a good weekend everyone.

Yes P.A. It does mean Evening primrose oil!

Solo have fun today!! yeah let us know how it goes!!

Niecie it's nice to have you back.

Ali Your granny sounds a lovely person . There's so few people who actually want to help themselves be healthy etc.I'm not at all offended I'm a granny as well, I hope i'm not too boring though!! my family are sometimes not terribly happy to be offered advice (which BTW is all from my own experience of trying out ideas from books t'internet etc. I'm never dogmatic I hope!!)

I'm bloated today 'cos we took DD1 to a restaurant (she calls it shminkys) that's trying to get it's 2nd michelin star and the chef was doing everything in ice cream! like an amuse bouche with a slice of mushroom and 2 flavours of mushroom ice cream! Nice but not really for me!

Hi Ladies!!! Just getting ready, must leave in half an hour...hair is not doing as I want it to!!! just have to get dressed and add lip gloss. Finger nails aren't great, but I might add a quick slick of clear varnish before I go.

Oh yes! guess who is visiting as of this morning?!! yep!! Aunt Flo grrrrr!!! hope it's not heavy like last month because I'll be nipping off to the loo every 15 minutes if it is!!! typical eh?!

Anyway, will report all on my return. Wish me luck :)

Welcome home Niecie btw.

Good luck and enjoy!!!

Ooh Solo good luck!!

Today is going well because I am too busy to eat. We are having a Sort Out.
