The Big Fat List and the Days of Doom (TM) Part VI - The thread in which we Spring Into Action

[grinningbee]

Sorry chaps, my thinking cap is busted. Best title I could manage tonight!

Loads of comfy chairs in here, bowls of fruit, and lots of superfree veggies to snack on

So, settle in, have a natter, and let's show the lard who's boss!

Bee

Yes I can do it tomorrow.

So PM me everyone...

Oh God I am dreading tomorrow.

Morning all! By some freak of weirdness I managed to lose 3lb (over 2 weeks) despite my holiday eatathon, so feeling pretty today. Was slightly dulled by DD1 (the pooer) throwing up in her bed this morning, can't believe it, 2 different Bodily Emissions in 2 days. Luckily she managed to miss all her teddies bar one, but her hair was caked in it, poor love (poor me)!

Hope all well, good luck with Day of Doom everyone :)

Oh Debka, you're having a really grim time at the mo!

Dd is having a friend over this morning (due in half an hour or so). First time we've ever done that, and she's very excited. Her friend also has this cough/cold/whatever it is, so they'll be fine together .

Yesterday I made H a curry (the butter chicken), made heart shaped biscuits (soppy sod), got the GU pudding (very naughty but nice), and he got a card, a dozen red roses and a bottle of not cheap bourbon. I tried.

He had ordered me some flowers (which he did in front of me) and the delivery note apparently was my card. The flowers were nice (dozen red roses!), but I was miffed that he hadn't bothered with a card. Hey ho. And he was asleep straight after dinner as usual.

I am back on the straight and narrow today.

Food for the day:

Banana (proper food to come later - too busy tidying)
Cheese triangles on toast (yay!), fruit and a yogurt
Left over butter chicken with veggies, 2 slices hobbit bread

2 syns for the cheese triangles

Hope you all had lovely evenings

bee it's ok, it's only sick! She is very cheerful this morning despite the Bed Trauma! Sorry to hear of your H's disappointing show :( It's always worse when you make an effort. My DH never even remembers that sort of thing, so I didn't bother either this year, we had a nice meal together though and he lectured me we had an interesting discussion on Amelia Earhart (sp?).

Morning all, am off the cigarettes now 2 full weeks and in that time I have managed to gain 4lb, no surprise really considering I have been stuffing my face

So once again ladies, can I ask to join you all as I am now 1lb off 13 stone and the way things are going if I don't do something about it ......

Rising just pitch in and pull up a chair . Great news about the smoking stoppage. I would imagine that's a very hard habit to get out of.

Debka I sniggered at only sick. Still bleurgh though!

The friend coming over went very well. They stayed all morning and the dc had a great time. Place looked like several bombs had gone off afterwards, and they'd emptied an entire chest of drawers worth of clothes out. Bless . Tis the curse of living in a bungalow.

It's taking all my willpower not to give up at the mo. I don't know what's the matter with me, but all I want to do is eat naughty stuff. I ate one home made biscuit to be sociable this morning, and it was only a plain one so must look up a rough syn value. But I just want chocolate . I need a stern talking to I think. I cannot undo the hard work so far. I found my very first post on MN last night - it was a SW thread, and that was August 2007. That was when I weighed 17st 9.5lb. Funnily enough, there was a familiar name on that thread, although she now seems to have gone very quiet. Ria are you still with us?

Bee I'm so relieved for you that it is just a fibroid. I was worrying when I came on the other night and you hadn't posted. When will they remove it? That will be a bumper weight loss week!

I'm with you on the loss of motivation I am scaredy-catting out of this weeks DOD. I just haven't got the heart to step on the scales.

Another one here really struggling to stick I plan. I ate a lot of biscuits today and have got a nothing planned for tonight which normally means takeaway!

Needless to say I gained today.
bee I'm not blooming surprised you are struggling. How's m?
dot hope you got some answers today.

I lied when I said I had gained, I just got my weights mixed up. A measly loss for me!

I am doing the list now so I can chill tonight.

Sparkly 4 stone sticker to debka, bladdy awesome

Hi Cheese, please can you amend my start weight to 16st 7lbs... otherwise my total weight loss doesn't make sense!

Just message me the correct info next week. I just copy and paste as don't have time to do it any other way.

Ah okay dokey. No problems :) Thanks for doing this anyway.

Good evening ladies.
What a short list for DoD, where are you all hiding? I didn't weigh in as I have been very busy and I know I won't like what the scales will say

I am currently rebuilding my house, well thats what it feels like anyway. One room has been sanded, painted and put back together again. We have removed more flooring and the last of it will be going tonight. Oh, how I hate painting and decorating in general. Any offers to come and finish it for me? I could go shopping instead and bring you back some scan bran cake or something?

bee you've come a long way since 2007, you have achieved a lot. Remember that! Maybe you need to have a day or even a week off, like tsp, save you cheating or falling off the wagon then blowing it.

Been clearing up lurid pink sick all evening, 2 complete bed changes. Pink is due to high raspberry consumption this afternoon. Totally put me off my saved-up syns, so there's a silver lining I suppose!

kid do you know I'd rather be clearing up sick than decorating like you are. Hope you get it done quick!

friendofdorothy how did it go at fertility clinic?

Urgh debka poor you. Pink puke, nice!
kid hope you've got the house sorted.

I'm off to bed after watching a lovely OBEM. It's made me feel all warm and glowing inside.

Evening all!

Well done Losers, esp debka for your amazing 4 stone loss! Not long til your 3 stone sticker CSWS, and bet you were happy with your corrected maths cheese .

I put on a pound, but I don't mind as have been eating all kinds of naughty food. Have told myself to be good this week to shift it, but am out for lunch the next two days, and have also lost any kind of willpower I may have had. Wasn't toooo bad today, but had a hot chocolate with marshmallows and a couple of biscuits whilst watching OBEM.

kid it's posts like yours that make me so glad we've bought a house which doesn't need any work doing to it. Although give me a couple of months and I'm sure I'll find something that "needs" doing. Ten days til The Big Move, can't wait.

How is M now bee? Glad you had a nice day with the children. Oh, that reminds me, how did the looking after the 9yr old birthday girl go cheese?

The appointment went really well. Lovely, lovely doctor and they are going to move onto some more investigations. He was generally positive though which was very helpful.

The total losses on that list are bloody stonking. You guys are amazing.

I'm really glad the appt went well Doro. Have they given you a timeframe for things to get going?

Yes. I have to to go in for tests on my tubes to see if they are clear. Hopefully that should be done in 3-4 weeks and then if they are clear they will start me on Clomid. It sounds like things might move a bit more swiftly now :)

Oh good news dot, phew. There is light at the end of the tunnel.

Will post properly later as im on the tube.
B: weetabix and fruit
L: chicken salad
D: meatballs in roasted veg sauce, salad.

Good morning everyone!

FOD That sounds really positive, and like things are about to go into action for you. Huzzah!

For those who have asked about M - she had her week of radiotherapy to attack the brain tumour, then had a week off. She was going to find out the results of how it went, and the plan for the chemo yesterday and I've yet to find out what happened. When I saw her on Sunday she looked very different The steroids have really changed her face etc, and her hair is falling out in handfulls. Ds grabbed at her hair and came away with a clump. She's smoking more now than she ever has, but I've given up worrying about that bit!

Anyway, back to today. I've lost my voice! We've all come down with a horrible fluey cold thing (thanks dd's playgroup), and my voice decided to go yesterday afternoon. H got up at 2am to go and sleep on the sofa as he couldn't stop coughing when laying down, so slept upright instead. It's horrible - like someone has had a cheese grater down my throat. Ah well.

Due to ring the Dr's later and get the blood test results. Should all be fine and dandy though after the scan.

Food for the day:

Ready brek, 1 x ryvita with 1 tsp jam (1/2 syn), very squishy banana
Omelette? Not sure really
Quorn sausages, baked beans and 3.5 syns worth of oven chips

I can't be bothered to make anything tonight!

By the way, the Piri Piri pork recipe I tried the other day was gorgeous, but it nearly blew my head off. My mouth was in physical pain from the strength of the piri piri. I'll bung the recipe up in a mo. It's so easy as well, so anyone who likes spicy food - give it a go!

Oh, and I'm not giving up. I just had a bit of a wobble for some reason. Feel a bit better about it today, and maybe I need to just remind myself why I wanted to do it in the first place. And try some different recipes too.

Blimey this thread is quiet!

bee she sounds better than she has in the past. How's her DH doing? I hope she knows that she has strangers rooting for her.

I'm lounging on the sofa while DH makes meatballs, nom nom nom!

Cheese it is quiet, isn't it! Yum yum to meatballs.

Her Dh is in Italy at the moment on a driving job. Found out she starts chemo a week tomorrow. It seems that the radiotherapy didn't work quite as much as was hoped . We'll have to see. Her dh will be going to work the first day she has chemo... need I say more. I shall tell her that she has friends she's never met across the country thinking of her.

I still haven't got my voice back. Dd seems to be getting worse and not better. She didn't eat any dinner, and almost fell asleep in her chair while I was helping ds eat his.

I phoned for my blood results. Seems to be some confusion, the nurse was supposed to ring me back to explain but didn't. So the gremlins in my brain are off again. Grrrr.

In other news - ds walked properly today ! It was about 4 steps, but he did it. I then got him to do it another couple of times. I know it'll still take a while for him to get the hang of it, but all the same. Things are about to step up a gear in our house!

I really want chocolate very badly. Not good.

I found you all! Hello, I've been at this SW malarkey for 3 weeks and just wanted to join in here.

:)
