Well done to Girders and Bra for being the joint slimmers of the week ? you get to share the wrinkly fruit this week

I would pom pom wave just for the sheer hell of it, but it seems in bad taste tonight.

Lake poppet, I don?t know where in the country you are, but if you need anything I am around tomorrow and Friday and can come over (with my two dc) and help if you need it. Please don?t be afraid to ask. I am good at making tea, and if we give the dc a duster each, they?ll clean for you

Sorry was posting from phone earlier - lake I am so sorry to hear of your break in, what a shower of bastards to do that! Did they take much? Hopefully your home insurance is up to date?

I'm in NI so probably not near you, but dm sure these offers if help are genuinely meant xxxxx

Oh Lake you poor thing, some people just have no shame or morals, they are scum. I hope your kids ok and are not upset xxx

Thank you so much for all of your messages and kind offers of help, you are all so lovely
DP is a star and has done an amazing clear up job.
TBH maybe losing my laptop will enforce a much needed reduction in my MN activity.
Poor DP lost his brand new projector, only got it out of the box last night but hey they're material things. Nothing too sentimental was taken and we weren't in and had a very good food day with nothing to eat since my smoked salmon salad at tea time cos too busy with police etc so every cloud and silver linings and all. Thanks again for lovely messages

lake im so sorry to hear that, some people are utter scum bags! I know its not about what they take as these can be replaced, its horrible knowing someone has been into your home. Again im in northumberland if i can help at all with any thing (day off today!).

well done to the losers and kid im sure its the floor, i weigh different in the bathroom than say in the kitchen.

Lake Hope you're doing ok today ((hug))

It's awfully quiet in here. Nothing much to report from me. been to the Dr's again today, and the chest infection is getting worse not better. Another week of different anti b's plus steroids this time. Joy joy.

Suppose I ought to start thinking about getting ready for the holiday on Monday at some point...

Just been for a bra measurement and to buy new ones from Debenhams, cant say what i'm more shocked at, my final bill or my new size!

I am down from a 36G to a 30GG (I could even get you in a 28" she said!)

Oh Shit! Did I kill the thread?

Of course not

Is it okay to have all your syns for the week in one night?
I didn't have dinner as I felt sick after eating too much junk so I sort of salvaged some extra damage.

I'm all set for a good day tomorrow and I have some spare time tomorrow to plan my meals for the coming week.
I also started using my power plate again tonight, it actually wore me out a bit as I was doing different exercises on it like squats, dips and sit ups. If I can manage to do that each day (12 minutes a day) then I might see some results. Hope so anyway.

I don't have a clue about bra sizes, need to find a tape measure and investigate.

Evening

Have commandeered DP's laptop for DOD thread purposes.

Thanks again for your offers of help and kind wishes.
RL folk have been lovely too, all of the neighbours have been around with offers of help and lovely next door neighbour brought a delicious home made cake which is the worst thing she could have done

choc that's an impressive shrinkage on the bra front and in the right places IYSWIM.

Bee hope you're feeling better

Food was pretty good until neighbour's cake arrived:
(red day):

BF: Berries + FF yog
L: Smoked salmon salad, strawberries
D: Egg + anchovy salad + 1 slice wholemeal bread + mayo (HEb + 2 syns)
S: CAKE (lots of syns!)

Kid as long as you are perfect till weigh in then I dont see it as a problem, I used about half of mine up last night on a meal and drinks out with the girls, I know I just need to behave for the rest of the week now.

Lake nice to hear of the help you are getting - bad neighbour with the cake - was it chocolate by any chance? hmmmmmmm

Re bra front wish cup size would go back to my DD's but not grumbling at back size so glad i didnt kill the thread

Am on phone so short MSG. Yesterday was ok we had a BBQ.

Today sm going on trip with dd eekkkk canoeing and rock climbing, feel poo @ thought of it!!!!

Food no idea cos they providing lunch but am talking lots fruit with me just incase!

And I've the period from hell :(

chocolate well done on the impressive shinkage! bet you got a real shock.

Lake im glad all the neighbours are rallying round to help and tbf i would of eat the cake too as i cannot resist a cake

I have re done my measurements after i last did them on 10th April and tbh i thought i would not have lost any more as i have lost and gained the few lbs this last month but i have, yay! I have lost;

1/2 inch off each arm
1/4 inch off each thigh
1.5 inch off my waist
3 inches off my hips
2 inches off my bust (think i may have to go bra shopping too, i have lost 6 inches off my bust since feb, tis is an over the boob measurement as opposed to under btw)

so that has cheered me up no end today.

will post food later

MadeinScotland Go to Debenhams they have a lovely sale at the moment I bought a few Freya bras which are great for big cup sizes (they do little ones too of course) I have a 10% code to be used by end of today if you order on-line itsGX47 most of the bras have 20% off though some have 40%.

Happy Shopping

ps well done on the inch losses

Morning!

Well done on the shrinkage - taking measurements is a brilliant way to see how you're doing.

Off later to go and find some t-shirts and a pair of trousers for myself . I'll probably end up as usual and just get something for the dc, but I realised that I am wearing the same 3 tops, and only have 1 pair of trousers that fit properly now! Not good.

FHF I also have horrible pains, and I do hope that AF is not about to pop up just before we go away.

Fingers crossed for the weather forecast continuing the way it is

I've finished work early today which I love doing.
I don't like the fact that I've had a headache since leaving at 8 this morning. I have been drinking lots of water and I've stuck to SW so far today. I need to remember that I have already had my syns so can't really allow myself many/any for the rest of the week. Its going to be really hard

I don't even think I can work out how many I have actually had already so I probably should just assume they have all gone.

Looks like it will be a basic green, potatoey dinner for me tonight. There is no way DH and DC are allowed to have our usual Friday night takeaway. I will get some chicken drumsticks out for them and maybe save some for me to have a red day tomorrow.

Where does the time go, I have to get DD in just over 1/2 hour, wish I could laze around for a bit first. Oh well, at least its the weekend.

Wow, what a day!! Spent the morning in a canoe and the afternoon up a 40ft pole!! Completely knackered now!!

Food hasn't been brilliant to be honest, but tomorrow is s new day and a new start :)
We were given lunch at the activity centre, jacket potato and savoury mince - am certain the mince wasn't ex lean!!

Dinner was lovely, chop, rice, peas and heaps of mixed veg. Had a crunchie bar and a bag of velvet crunch as had let myself get so hungry earlier.

So tomorrow will def be a new start, 19wks til hol and 9.5lb to go

Kid - have you ever asked your consultant about flexible syns?
