Hey new thread since our old stopping smoking and not gaining-too--much weight has been lost from chat! BOO!!!

I am not a good role model however as I HAVE piled on a stone, well 12 lbs now, since giving up the cigs.
This must be rectified!
Hence joining in the club section!

Donnadoon hope you find this thread.

Everyone else pile in, join and be happy or miserable bastard ex smokers

Oh Donna, I'm in the same boat.
Feeling all wobbly and so so pissed off with my fat self.

Bring on the diet and exercise, I bloody need it!
Had cheese, wine, cheese, wine, pavlova, cream, cheese...

Bleuurrrggghhh!
Leggings have had to be utilised!

Anyhow, happy new year matey!
We will slim together!

Howdy partner !
Day two going well
I went to m&s yesterday and stocked up on some fancy healthy food
I got some nice salads and prawns and dried figs and apricots....Go me !
Grin
Makes new year dieting a little bit easier if the rabbit food you're gonna eat costs a fortune and tastes nice.

Donnadoon · 06/01/2015 12:14

Also cleaning and chucking out clutter like a mad woman

;)

FrantasticO · 06/01/2015 20:30

Howdy!
Pats Donna on back for being virtuous, eating healthy rabbit food!
Would join you in dancing but I'm weak with hunger I tell thee!
Boo to January, love Christmas and cheese with wine

How's the eyes?

Here's to a fab 2015!
(Raises glass of sparkling water, wishing it was champers!)
Back to classes...I may die!

Onwards and downwards on the scales

Well done on going to classes
Still being very good here
Eating figs when starving bleurh
Went to the hairdressers for the first time in two years yesterday
My hair was down to my bum so had about 6 inches off Shock
Had a few bits of colour through an all, adventurous me ? Grin

My eyes thanks for asking are a pain in the arse
Whatever it is that's wrong with them ???? It keeps trying to come back
I had to come off the steroid drops because of eye pressure
So now I'm on allergen drops and I have to go to eye clinic every 2 weeks while waiting to see a specialist Confused

Still...
I'm sure I'll be fixed eventually
Dd has her follow up in two weeks and hopefully they will dis charge her

Anyhoo
Hope alls well with you

Donnadoon · 10/01/2015 12:30

Oh and how's the shred ?
Found the first one way too hard
My fave is Kirsty Gallaghers

Donnadoon · 14/01/2015 22:10

Ello Ello :)
Still being quite good ere
My eyes have been driving me nuts, been and got some different drops today. I'm waiting to see a specialist because they don't know what's causing it, I've had swabs done and all clear, my eye lids are inflamed apparently
Ah it'll be sorted eventually, boring boring

How s things with you?
All good I hope

Have you been watching CBB ?
I'm hooked, even though it really is a load of tripe !
Ta ra for now x

Donnadoon · 17/01/2015 08:02

Hola
Hope you ok my internet bestie
All ok here, still being very good at not stuffin my face !
My eyes are still flippin sore....Raaaarh !
Dd has been getting headaches, got specialist appointment next Monday
Looking forward to the better weather, it's been snowing here, but not enough to take a sledge out or build a snowman

I weighed myself yesterday for the first time in ages, I'm 10 stone , not as bad as I feared actually, but ideally I'd like to be about 9.4 for my height and build so still got a bit to go.

May be going down saarff (South) tomorrow to visit rellies, weather permitting

Catch up again soon
Ta-ra

FrantasticO · 17/01/2015 17:56

Hello hello hello!

Internet has been off and I can't access mn on my phone!
Sorry for the long absence.

I'm feeling grim, fat and grumpy!
Need some sunshine and for all this snow to bugger off.
Driving has been horrific.
Kids are having a ball as the school roof came partly off.
Snowmen and sledging ahoy...who cares about education Grin

So I too went on the scales... And was blinded!
I'm nearer the (whispers) 12!!!!!!

Oh my giddy aunt, it's time to get my jaws wired!
My only saving grace is that I'm tall...

Your poor eyes, that's been a long time they have been giving you grief.
What's your ophthalmologists plan?

Nice guidelines always good to look at for what should be the proper pathway of care.

What's happening with your wee girl?
Poor wee sausage has had a time of it too.

Hope you have a lovely time down sarrff!

Next week I will be 2lbs lighter!
I have a summer holiday all booked so can't go as the local whale attraction!

Laters my lovely xxx

Hello, glad you're ok-ish Grin
School is/was out for your kids ! Yay !
Loved being snowed off when were kids,
Oops for getting your jaw wired
I've been quite good, I read a couple of weeks ago something that stuck with me " summer bodies are created in winter" I've always let myself go a bit too much in winter and before we know it the better weather is here and Shock

Really don't know what the crack is with mine or dds eyes !
I have some sort of mystery infection
Dd has a wonky optic nerve
Dd seeing pead on Monday
I'm waiting for appointment to come through
I'm on steroid eye drops in the mean time

Grrr

Cold cold cold here at the mo but not snowing yet !
Laters matey

FrantasticO · 20/01/2015 22:45

No!!! To more snow!

It's horrible slippy stuff,
Though great fun if you don't have to drive in it Grin

Your poor eyes the pair of you.
Here's hoping that when the cold weather goes so does the ailments.

I've joined weight watchers as I couldn't find a you tube jaw wiring with step by step instructions Grin

Must shed this weight!
Started back with the classes too, it's hard work.
Need to get out of these leggings which fool no one !

FrantasticO · 22/01/2015 07:47

Enjoying Bb. Helps us get through January.
Diet going well and back at gym.

How's the eyes today, hopefully when the weather changes they'll hurt less.
Cold air is soooo drying.

Hiya
Happy belated Burns night !
All good here, had a few too many biscuits this week tho !
Dd3 is one next week ! Can't believe it ! She is walking and talking too ! Well four words, hiya, teddy, dee-dee (her sister) and daddy Angry
Such a contrast to dd2 who didn't say her first word until 21 months!

The eyes are ok but scrap without the steroid drops, if I miss a dose.
Dd1 has important eye appt Monday about the optic nerve, DH is taking her

Having family round tomorrow for dds birthday get together
Easy weekend apart from that
Ta-ra for now x

Donnadoon · 27/01/2015 21:34

Belated burns night ?
It was Sunday night wasn't it ?
Oh I don't know I thought it was Friday night
Ignore me Grin
Anyhoo how's the gym classes going ?
Have you ever done spinning ?
I've never done nothing like an excercise class in my whole life Blush
I've got to stop nibbling crap
I have good days and bad days
Had a poorly baby on her birthday, she was all runny nose and high temp
On the mend now though
Dd1 had a good appt about the optic nerve
She had all sorts of thorough eye checks and has got to have one more in a few weeks but I'm very happy with the care she recieved because now I'm almost reassured that there is no scary underlying problem...phew
I'm off to eye clinic myself tomorrow ... Groan
My mum thinks I've got ...wait for it.... Eczema under my eye lids Hmm
Because ...wait for it... She has eczema up her nostril !
Oh my days !
Grin

FrantasticO · 28/01/2015 21:32

Chuckling at your mum!!

Poor baby being poorly on her birthday, where has this year gone?

Yeah to your dds appt, glad all going well.
Good luck with yours.

Spinning is sore on the auld nether regions, front and back!
Great cal burner though...enjoy.
Take some padded shorts!

Manic busy here.
Went to a calidh on sat, was fab. Kids had a ball!

Hiya!
No spinning for me ! I'd love to but I've got no childcare really
By the time DH gets home in the evening I'm shattered
Excuses excuses
Kids have parties all weekend so I'm taxi-ing about
In between I'm going to de clutter my kitchen
Been reading some threads in good housekeeping about it
Still no snow here :(
Wish you could shovel some down to us
My kids would love it
Seriously though you must be sick of it
And it is dangerous to drive in
Catch up again later pal
Xx

FrantasticO · 31/01/2015 09:06

Morning lovely!

If I lived nearer I'd watch the kids so you could experience the "joy" of spin! Grin

No more snow, just hard impacted icy roads now and loads of potholes!!

Enjoy the party run, it takes all day doesn't it?

Have you tried the shred yet?
It's good and £5 on Amazon.

I'm back on the classes with a vengeance, feel much better for it.
Lovely husband also got me a Fitbit, it's a bit compulsive!

My plan should involve sorting the kitchen, but probably won't ! Grin

What thread has given you inspiration?
I'm in need of some of that!

Off to look at the cupboards and firmly shut the doors!

Enjoy the weekend x
