I'm back! I went to the gym last night for a quick work out & took dd swimming this morning although that wasn't very strenuous as dd decided that she didn't like the water and wanted to sit on the side! I have been good they all had pizza hut for lunch & I had a salad bowl & one slice of pizza!
Will taike ds swimming tomorrow then may get a workout in in the afternoon

AllieBongo · 12/08/2006 14:45

raw veg..sugar snap peas, carrots, plain rice cakes. loads of dull crap really i'm afraid

whoopsfallenoveragain · 12/08/2006 14:48

If you want crisps Walkers fries are the lowest fat I have had the odd pack of those

whoopsfallenoveragain · 12/08/2006 17:12

No probs! Just though it would be nice to chat off the boards too!

Don't get tempted to eat just anything now!! I keepgoing to the supermarket after swimming and stuff and being drawn to everything! but am finding the willpower to drag myself away!

Somanybabyseagulls · 12/08/2006 17:20

sounds like you are really motivated well done. Can't do msn but can do e mail (technophob or what) Im on [email protected]. E mail would be better coz I got soooooo many kiddies to sort and I find it hard enough to drag myself off MN let alone msn!

whoopsfallenoveragain · 12/08/2006 17:21

Somanybabyseagulls, we are going to Spain for a week in October, also going to see Robbie in a couple of weeks and I need to be looking a little slimmer as obviously he will pick me out of 40,000 other fans and really notice if I am carrying an extra stone.

I was out last night and had half a bottle of wine, but not much food, hence felt a bit yuck this morning and ended up in Pizza Hut for a buffet lunch. Promised myself I would be good and only have one slice of veggie pizza and loads of salad but once I got started on the pizza I couldn't stop and must have had about 6 slices . Trying to be good tonight.

MrsSpoon · 12/08/2006 19:28

Oh and looks like DH might be out tomorrow night and therefore unable to look after the DSs whilst I go to aerobics and BodyPump, grrr.

sassy · 13/08/2006 08:56

Can I join in?

I'm 11st2 and have been since last xmas despite saygin to myself weekly "Get a move on and lose this weight, woman!"

I'm 5ft7 and would really like to be te other side of 10st IYKWIM.

I've been doing a weekly pilates class since Easter - this has made a real difference to the shape of my legs but not improved my fitness at all. Might get the bike out of the garage!

whoopsfallenoveragain · 13/08/2006 18:02

I feel very with all you under 12 stoners!!

Hopefully won't be long before I'm there with you!!

helenainsworth · 14/08/2006 12:06

I am about 5'6" or so. but still wanting to look rather slimmer than i do today. competition nevera bad thing. nearly just went for a packet of crisps but then remembered this thread and didnt get one!!

whoopsfallenoveragain · 14/08/2006 12:14

Well done!
I was asked if I wanted anything from the bakers & I was good and said that I will stick to vegetable soup or something!!! I haven't even eaten anything mid morning which is something for me!

pepperrabbit · 14/08/2006 13:14

Hi, can i join? I'm 5'6" and weigh 11st8. I'd really really like to be the other side of 10st but it's not shifting since DS2 (April).
Having to confess my weight loss here should be a good motivator - we're off on hols in 5 weeks and my tummy is so not ready for any kind of swimwear!
