BigMothers Week 4

[WigWamBam]

Nice new thread for a new week of fabulous weightloss, lots of chat and great support.

WWB, what bastards. astonishing, isn't it!

It didn't do much for my already pathetically low self-esteem, I have to say!

Carry a small vial of olive oil with you, and modify the frictional charatceristics of the bully's (ies') treadmill once they're at a reasonable pace.... when they are sprawled and fuming on the floor, admit the possibility that just a small portion of your lardey arse must have leaked on the machine and that you are dreadfully sorry, but what can you do ?

"Oh, and that'll keep feckin happening till you learn some bl00dy manners"

Blimey WWB - what an ignorant pillock. Nice idea, hub2dee. Or how about something along the lines of the quote from someone (Churchill?) about being drunk - but adapted, so something like 'If I carry on exercising, I'll get slim, but you'll always be a rude, ignorant tw*t'.

WWB you can go with me cause then you wouldn't be the only one they were being silly about and I have the skin of a rhino. If it gets too much though I would give them a sharp retort something along the lines of I may be overweight but i am not deaf. Or I may be fat but I can lose the weight you however will allways be small minded.

Mummyhill, I might take you up on that one!

Remind me never to get on the wrong side of you lot.

Anyone else finding themselves making feeble bargains in the hope of a decent result at tomorrow's weigh-in? Things like "I promise I'll drink nothing but water today if you lovely little scales tell me I've lost a pound."

My lovely little scales aren't talking to me at all after my shameful week. Actually I lie, they're shouting "Geroff! Geroff! I can't breathe with you standing on me"...

And I have major league PMT (unusual for me) I cried over a TV programme yesterday. I was watching (wait for it) Cash in the Attic?!

Oh SueJ. Was it the thought of whoever it was on Cash in the Attic finally being able to do something they'd always wanted to do, or something like that? Often gets me a bit teary. Also interior design programmes where they transform people's houses. I'm turning into my mother - she cries at the slightest thing.

Not that bit at the end where they sold something (a picture?) for £9k and the woman was in tears? I don't usually watch it (yeah, that's what they all say, right?) but I caught that bit at the end. If it's any consolation I almost blubbed too.

it was about a donkey/pony/goose/animal sanctuary (can't remember which one) They had stuff donated which they sold at auction to build a gift shop. One painting went for so much £8,000 that had enough to do the whole project. Sniff, sniff, now I'm off again...

Stupid bloody donkeys never cry over them normally.

thats it Coppertop but ALMOST blubbing doesn't count!

I tell you, this wait for the adoption is turning me into a gibbering wreck. D'you think it natures way of mimicking pregnancy?

WWB anytime hun if you have ronnie or whimsy's email addy send them a note and ask them to send you my email address. Are you comming on the Picnic in Sutton Park this year? There's a thread for it in the meet up section.

I used to have both of their email addresses ... not sure whether I still have. Are you cattable, and if so can I cat you? If you're serious then so am I ... we can hit the gym together (heaven help the gym )

I really need to lose at least 4 stone so yes am serious. I haven't signed up to send cat's but do allow them.

Oh Suejonez - it must be really nerve-racking for you. All the uncertainty, and I guess loads of hoops to jump through. Hope you can manage to relax sometimes too. Planning to weigh this afternoon again, so will email WWB then. Good luck everyone.

Oh, doh, I have put a pound back on. But I have excuses - I've had a virus - not a 'watch-the-weight-fall-off' kind of virus, but an 'eat-all-you-can-before-you-die' kind of virus. Once I've recovered, it's back in that gym.

I'm proud to say I watched that episode of Cash in the Attic in the gym. WWB, I can't believe what happened to you in the gym. In mine, there are really loads of us, and the aqua aerobics people are a really formidable group of heavyweight women who are not to be messed with. If you get any more trouble, I'll send a coachload over to you.

I have to say I could fancy aqua classes ... in fact, I could quite fancy any kind of exercise class where I was covered up - preferably to the neck! I used to do Rosemary Conley, where at least everyone in the exercise class was there to lose weight so wasn't so judgmental but there are no classes locally anymore.

Mummyhill, I will cat you now. Wyndley is the most local gym to me - would that be OK with you?

ain'tme: I had that virus for years. Terribly severe.

I know, and doesn't it just pile the weight on?

Oh dear, have just outed meself. Well, was bound to do so sooner or later

You norty man, you made me.
