[grinningbee]

Ah yes, it's that time again. New list, new decor. Same comfy chairs though

So, pull up a chair, settle in and make yourselves at home

Congratulations dorothy how fab!

How are you doing today doro? Got your head round it a wee bit?
Lovely sentiments kid, sending love to thescarletpimpernel if she's lurking.

Woohoo clear skies today so hopefully we can get out the house today and DD can run off some steam.
Food looks like:
B: fruit and ff yog
L: scrambled egg and smoked salmon on toast with salad
D:sausage casserole (1.5 syns) with loads veg

Weigh in tomorrow, that's come around quick!

Not at all! I had to do another test this morning to convince myself as I just don't feel pregnant if you know what I mean!

Oh thats amazing news Dorothy
Lol at having to do another test. i did 7 when accidentallyfell pregnant with DS1 before it felt slightly real.

I'll be trying to conceive for the first time ever (mine were both happy accidents)after my surgery although we may have trouble due to losing more of my ovary

i cant believe its the DOD tomorrow already...I dont think I'm ready!!!

B:beans on toast
L:chicken salad
D:Chicken,egg fried rice and veg

Oh that's exciting huff. When's the surgery? I'm hoping dh passes his exam so we can start TTC end of te year!

Hello!

Oh my god Doro! Congratulations!!! I'm so so so happy for you! Don't worry about feeling weirded out - I think it took me until the baby was in my arms to truly comprehend what was going on.

Cheese I know I'm a disaster but I have finally acted on the advice you gave me about six months ago about dealing with the ol' black dog and I have booked an appt for Friday with the docs. So I'm a loser, but I've got there in the end!

Hey pixie glad you are back. I've been mighty worried - wondered if you were diffed too. hope the docs goes Ok, PM me if you want to.

Congratulations dorothy :o ds took us 4yrs of ttc so I can fully appreciate how hard it is. I have the sw pg leaflet I'll check it for you :)

Basic rules seem to be follow ee, have 2x hea and 2x heb. It keeps emphasising that it has to be with mw's approval but I don't suppose you've got a mw yet!
Rest is normal pg advice - take folic acid, cut out alcohol and caffeine, eat oily fish 2x week, avoid soft cheese/ uncooked eggs etc etc

Terrifying more like Cheese!
Surgery is the 16th May so not long till my aches and pains will be eased

Pixie thats a very big brave thing to do - depression has such a stigma. My dad suffered for years before he got help and hes the kind who gets very angry with it so we had a very topay turvy childhood. Since hes been on tablets hes been a different(and much happier) man

good luck pixie. Hope you get some good support.

I've had a really productive day today, which makes me feel much better, but it's no good for dieting as when I'm on a roll I hate breaking off to eat. Had a good sort out/clean in the boys room, and converted their beds back to bunks so they have more floor space to play. I have to brace myself to sort out the baby toys and get rid. Still a lot to do though, without that... My plan is to sort all of the house, room by room, with our room the last to be done. 1.5 down!!

Have to be off early in the morning for DH to go to the hospital for his pre-op thingy. SO might have to WI on Thursday this week.

Good luck ladies

Mwahahahahha it's doomsday! Pm me your stats, let's have a decent list this week.

I'm at work so quick post. Good weigh in for me.
Food:
B: croissant (ooops but up all night with dd and in work today)
L: tuna cous cous salad
D: stirfry
Long gym sesh tonight so will publish lost around 10pm.

Glad you've had a good week Cheese
I think I've gained but will PM you after WI

Cool huffpot.

Where is everyone hiding?

Im here cheese I've had to do some work today, how blooming rude of my employer to expect me to earn my salary!

Today have been nice but bad in eating terms, my boss is 50 tomorrow so she bought a ton of cake in and it would have been rude of me not to help eat it. I was also up at 3am for some daft reason so I am cream crackered

Can I beg a space at the table please?

As some of you already know, I am a consultant, by hey, I'm human too and have had a real struggle lately. I've a heavy workload, a small family and a heap of family stuff going on atm.

Someone spoke earlier of a dark cloud, heck i'm under it and medicating for it... so that's my story.. missed group for a while so went back tonight and I've gained 13lb since I was last there I wish there was a cry emoticon so I'm fucking gutted a bit sad at having let myself go.

So, I'll hang my head in shame here and hope for a manly pat on the back from someone... have done shopping so am all prepared for tomorrow! Can't wait to see the list for inspiration!

me x

Human consultants? Hmmm... oh ok then.

I was always really inspired by my consultant. She could go away for a long weekend, pile on about half a stone and then nail it and get it off the week after. I was relieved to see she was normal!

Ah I'm normal alright! Lost 3st 13lb (yes, just shy of the elusive 4st!) so tonight I have lost 3st.... just shows how easy it goes on as I'd def say it mostly went on in the last 6wks.

Anyway, went back to group tonight and got some motivation :) And you lot are always such great support to each other I thought I'd come ask for help too :)

Hi fairhaired, I say well done for catching it at 13lb and not letting it all go back on. You'll have lost that in a month :)

ARSE!!! Huge post vanished.
Probably just as well...

well done to listers

welcome back to the fold connie FH&F. Are you allowed by the SW-powers-that-be to join our FB group too? Sorry you are cloud-laden, hope your meds work quickly. You're looking fab in your pics. It is SO easy to gain though isn't it? (I seem to be something of an expert).

pants day of whiney DS3, being poked/prodded/patted to get my attention by all 3, temper outbursts from DS1, still no sodding jumper he likes in the shops, and nearly £9 fecking quid to park for just over 2 hours in a multistorey carpark which used to be the cheapest one. DH was ages having his MRSA swab and a random xray too. I was ready for sobbing under a table by the time he joined us. AND I forgot to make lunch for me, so picked at the boys picnic, and happened upon a bakers

DH is NOT a happy bunny as he was 6lb heavier on the hospital scales. Needless to say we hit ASDA and stocked up It's just a shame he won't join in with the cooking/planning.

hi debka, how was it? were you somewhere nice?

Sorry you had a bad day ria. Back on the horse today.

Gah debka 1lb is nothing for 5 days in a hotel. Put some more effort in. Glad you are back, we missed you!

B: fruit and ff yog
L: tuna pasta salad, fruit
D: I'm out, who knows!
