NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES thread Part 3

[CheckpointCharlie]

Ooooooohhhh, that's exciting, and a bit of an honour, I feel like the Leader!

Right. this is not you, he IS putting you in a very awkward position, a bloody week especially as he is away so much of the year and you have to do everything alone...... I would be so completely furious. My DH has just turned down a three night stag do as it would have cost £200 and we have precisely zilch at the moment.

Surely he can see that it is too much? As it is his best mate, is he best man? Can he arrange a shorter stag do, what the hell happened to one evening????

Oh no I am sorry you are going through it today, I will come and give you a massive hug from all us losers on here soon!!

(((cuddle)))

I'm sorry your dh has put you in that position youcan. I wouldn't be happy with dp wanting to go off for that long for a friend's stag do. My dp wouldn't be even asking though as he is far more careful than I am with money, but also if he wants a holiday then we would go together as a family. We've never had a family holiday that cost more than £300 all in, we go camping and that covers all site fees, days out and spending money for 4 of us.

I don't know why so many stag and hen dos are so much money, any of my friends who are married just had an evening out, the biggest one was a full day at Blackpool pleasure beach, followed by a night out, but seeing as we all stayed at the bride's house it was still reasonably cheap.

Thanks every one - and thanks CCC for the hugs!

I just been fb chatting to husband and he was actually fine. He just said fair enough and carried on chatting as usual... I expect he will sulk slightly but I couldn't keep quiet.
So I over reacted a little but I think I am a bit stressed...feeling better noe the 'conversation' has been had.

oh how does everyone feel about weigh in?? I am hoping for 1-2 pounds. Don't expect more than that at all...

I'm glad things are ok and hope the sulking isn't too bad. Deep down he must know he was asking for a lot.

Nervous about weigh in. After eating lentils, courgettes, kale and soya beans this week (fortunately not in the same meal) I bloody deserve to lose 2lb but I ate a massive roast yesterday with lots of trimmings and wine, so I would be happy to lose 1lb.

I want to lose 1lb a week for 10 weeks so that I can be 11st at Easter.

Good luck everyone for tomorrow, may the scales be kind to us all. X

Hmmm would have been confident on Friday but not quite so confident now, I seem to be stuck in a pattern, maybe we should change weigh in to a Friday, I find it much easier to do well up to Friday and then the weekend comes along and gets in the way.
Obv I know that overall I will still lose weight but it just seems more, erm, doable!?

Glad to hear DH wasn't too fussed!

Glad dh is not majour sulking and can see being away that much and then wants to use week of leave to go away without his family and hope his mates not an arse about it

Checkpoint only thing is would you go completely mad over weekend if weighed on Griday thinking well I have week to loose it

I think I have changed in that I don't just scoff any more, also I have a really set routine during the week when at work as I just eat yogurts, soup and fruit but I eat more bread etc at the weekend.
I will do a mini weigh in on Friday and see how I go!

Yup or weight in Friday but post the weight Monday ?

Snow day here and still trying to sum up energy to get out of bed and work out just want to huddle under the covers brrrr

2 lb of for me this week . I want to be 10 something by time Easter holidays start end of March

Naff all for me but I taking it a win. If I can not put anything on until I can start moving again then I'm happy

+1lb. I blame AF!

This week will be better!

Really pleased, I lost 1.7lbs so I'm down to 162.3 lb which is 11st 8lb. Next week i'd like to be closer to 10 st but that's unlikely if it keeps snowing. My freezer is full of pizza, chips and garlic bread so if we get snowed in it's a diet of carbs and cheese

'lo all.

Some chocs may have been eaten to celebrate the job thing...but I lost 2lbs this week for 10 st 13 lbs.

On the down side I tried my wedding ring on this morning (it came off some time during pregnancy) but even though I must be 2 stone lighter than I was at that point it still doesn't go on properly! Maybe I am just not used to it any more?

Oh and a snow avalanche off my roof sheared the back windscreen wiper off the car....

Tally yup and painkillers cause constipation to so that adds weight

Well done johnny and think we're be in same boat as I'm housebound till a thaw hits

Icb woe well done Waves pom poms hmm maybe fingers swollen ? And crsp on the wipers

I Want to see a 10 as first number

Tortoise yup I blame it to and the bloody miserable weather . Did j mention how much I hate snow

All dc of today as closed due to snow

Oh well done, I was the same as last week but on Friday I had lost a pound!

I don't like snw much either human especially as my little dd has another cough and I daren't let her out cos it will just make her worse.

afternoon - I weighed this morning and have lost about 1 and half pounds maybe a bit over....

I am ok with that as was not so strict on the weekend. Today and tomorrow may not be so good as have friends visiting etc BUT i will work extra hard next weekend.

I am still edging closer to that 12.....

Well, school is open today so DS was charging about the house all happy this morning

Been to the doctors again and I've been given a truck load some tramadol and a referral to physio, and yet another 2 weeks off work. And then, just to top everything off, my back has started to spasm again and I had to be pushed round Tesco's in a wheelchair :( Not helped by the fact that OH is crap at steering so kept bashing me into the shelves and leaving me in the middle of aisles to go and have a look at something :(

You can it come your moving nearer to it

Tally make sure when take tramdol you can lie down all I can say

These things are brilliant! My back twitching but the pain is not too bad now This morning I sat and sobbed for 5 minutes until the painkillers kicked in because it hurt so much

However, it did just take me about 10 attempts to say 'envelopes' And I just got a bill through the post for the painkillers I was given at the OOH doctors!

Bloody hell Tally - hope you are ok. I suspect you are surprisingly relaxed...I am almost jealous

Have you seen how many calories are in Tramadol

Only jokin
Thanks Human - this stone is being a bitch!!

gosh - that sounds bad Tally...although envelope is kinda tricky to say....maybe :)

I am very relaxed....

Just found out that one of my regulars has died though :( Bad mixture of alcohol and diabetes, he was a lovely guy and was always laughing and joking and he was only 30 :(

well looks like I wasn't overeacting.........

I just had an hour of my DH viryually begging to go on this stag do....saying he will not spend any money as it is all inclusive and that he cannot mis his best mates stag do and that he feels so bad and sorry and that I should 'trust him'.

I basically said too much money and if the stag wanted hom to go so badly he should have consulted him on what kind of thing to book. My DH declined to answer that point..........

I feel like a complete and utter bitch now. Really awful - yet I KNOW I am right!!! Argh I want to smash something.

Why do we always have to think of the practicalities of things - and come out looking like we are the FUN POLICE

FUCK FUCK....raging here.

Where the hell does he think the original £300 is going to come from?! Arse!

Sounds like he has had his mates doing the whole 'you're never allowed out to play' bollocks on him today. YOU ARE RIGHT! If he feels soooo bad, can he not arrange a night-out for after the holiday? Instead of a week long, mega expensive drinking sesion?

with your DH youcan. He shouldnt put you in this position. £300 is a lot of money.
Is it mainly the money issue? Does he have anything he could sell to raise the money so it doesn't come out of family funds? Not that I think he should go mind you!

I totally fucked up dinner. Burnt the cheese sauce on the bottom of the pan and it made the whole lot smell and taste burnt. Unfortunately didn't notice until I stirred the whole lot into a pan of pasta and bacon. Whole meal ruined .
