Here we go again Slinkies Grin
Can you believe we are starting our third year together? We always said we were in this for the long haul, well we weren't kidding!

So stay and enjoy success, the support and the lunacy. There will be ups and downs, but we will do this together.
So Wine Cheers

Not sure what I feel. In tears as I write this but also relief. She'd not been "mum" for a long time. Dementia is a horrible thing at the "best" Hmm of times, but this type of frnoto-temporal dementia brought on by the head injury seems to be particularly cruel.

Blondeshavemorefun · 20/04/2012 10:49

Relief is a good emotion - for your mum and you - don't feel bad - she is at peace now xxxx

prettybird · 20/04/2012 11:07

Guilt too at wanting it to be over. But there again, I think she did too. She had been refusing food and drink for some time and we stopped trying to force it into her.

prettybird · 20/04/2012 11:10

On a positive note, have just weighed myself and have lost 3lb since Monday! Down to 12st 8lb. Smile

Off to have lunch with my dad at our favourite Italian restaurant. Will make sure it's low carbs!

GettinTrimmer · 20/04/2012 11:32

Oh Pretty I am so sorry ((hugs)))xxxxxxx

Best wishes to you all xxx

Smalline · 20/04/2012 18:45

I'm so sorry to hear about your mum Pretty, my thoughts are with you and your family at this sad time.

prettybird · 20/04/2012 22:14

Funeral is next Friday - allowing enough time for her sister to come over from Oz. feeling a bit up and down - in tears when I start talking about her, ok the rest of the time. She was a wonderful, vibrant woman who commanded any room she went into.

Have been good all day - probably too FEW carbs if anything. However, have now succumbed to a glass (or two) of Cava. I think I deserve it Smile.

prettybird · 20/04/2012 22:17

Also allows time for the PM, which might help the research to stop this sort of damage happening to other people who get head injuries.

Blondeshavemorefun · 21/04/2012 16:06

prettybird · 23/04/2012 16:11

Back on a computer so can update the list. At least I can now say "1 stone" in my weight loss to date - and hopefully on Friday, it'll be "1 stone something "

Should mean I'll be able to get into the skirt I'm thinking of wearing to Mum's funeral. We're saying "Feel free to be colourful" in the Notice, so my gorgeous purple shoes are definitely getting an outing, and probably the nice new red top that dh got me for my birthday.

Hic

Being a bad blonde

In Tenerife and eating and drinking gin

Whoops xxx

Ps very hot here :)

prettybird · 01/05/2012 08:07

Was 12st 4lb yesterday, so 2lb for the week. Had actually got down to 12st 3lb on Thursday but since then have had the funeral and the Ball and a couple of family meals at my Dad's, so I'm pleased with the result.

prettybird · 01/05/2012 08:09

Glad you're having a good time in Tenerife Blondes. You deserve it! Smile

GettinTrimmer · 02/05/2012 21:49

Don't blame you blondes!

Pretty best wishes to you x

Well done, I am a bit more than 12.3. Will wi on Friday.

GettinTrimmer · 05/05/2012 08:10

wi today. I have been distracted lately with job interviews, I have 3 interviews coming up and just applying for another 2 jobs this weekend. No excuse I know....!

But I have sts. Must try harder, I have a big party late July. I need to wear something glam.

My race for life is in June, have been running this week. I'm off to the gym to pound the treadmill later as it is raining again.

How are you all? How is low carbing going Piste/smokin?

smokinaces · 05/05/2012 12:43

Low carbing going fab. When i weighed in last Monday I was eleven on the nose. Hoping for 10 13 or even 10 12 this Monday. Then its the downhill straight to 10stone. Loving low carb, never hungry, so easy to eat. Did seven pounds in a fortnight now going a bit slower.

Good luck for the interviews xxx

And blondes, what was the damage on the scales?!

Blondeshavemorefun · 05/05/2012 16:49

afternoon - 'yawns' im back - flew in 5.30am this am after a 2.5hr delay and veeeeeeeeeeery tired and darent weigh my self on the scales yet ...............

hopefully a week of being good (wi is fr) then maybe only a small gain

RatherBeOnThePiste · 07/05/2012 09:43

Weighing in on Mondays now and am bang on 10stone, so within my range but I am aiming for 9 something again.

OP posts:
smokinaces · 07/05/2012 09:48

I'm weighing in mondays too. Am back to 10 12 which is my lowest, going to crack it this week. 10 5 is my first target, which is top of my bmi range. 10 stone is my final target. Hopefully two pounds a week means 6 weeks or so? Would be nice to be extra slinky for Pistes meet/ my 30th both this summer

smokinaces · 07/05/2012 09:48

Then ill dig out my fat photos to show you all. They are not good.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 07/05/2012 10:04

we need to sort my meet up don't we? I'm still very much on, not sure if pretty is coming. We should fix a definite date
