The thread has disappeared seemingly replaced by a biscuit!

Well done losers! I am up I think but kind of not looking. Haven't been good, redundancy became final and this hasn't been a good week. Am now considering doing a craft fair to make a bit of cash so a couple of weeks intense cooking of naughty things coming up.

Sorry about the redundancy Double. I was made redundant yesterday too. I'm having kettle chips and Yorkshire tea for breakfast whilst letting the kids watch crap on their devices. I am a bad chief and a bad parent. These crisps are lovely mind.

I would normally have harsh words to say to Tea after her generosity with the poundage but in the circs will refrain. Bugger the redundancies and hurray for kettle chips. Moderate indulgence feels only fair. And the kids will love for the extra device time...

DoubleMum · 31/10/2014 21:27

Sorry to hear that Tea. It's a bugger isn't it?!

DoubleMum · 03/11/2014 09:38

Right it's a new week, the kids are back at school, not going to eat crap!!

I'm eating satsumas -

Dinkydoos · 03/11/2014 15:04

Am fasting. Dull. And haven't really weighed so not sure what's happening results wise. Sorry to hear about the redundancies, hope new doors get opened and all that.
Agree that 3lb for a week holiday is waaaay better than I would do! Have a good week all

TeaMakesItAllPossible · 04/11/2014 16:27

Have moved and had soup for lunch . Hockey and chicken for tea. Ran 12k yesterday.

Am not weighing but am feeling less flabby so all good.

Have booked all sorts of eye and hair appointments so finding purpose in a week where I'm blatantly avoiding a proper job search

I expect you could go to the dentist too - and the kitchen cupboards probably need a sort out - and it would be nice to meet someone for lunch.......

DoubleMum · 04/11/2014 19:40

Apples are you me?

no, but I've been made redundant. All turned out well in the end.

DoubleMum · 07/11/2014 07:36

Hooray!

They are tight but I'm in trousers 2 sizes smaller. Yay!

OP posts:
RandallFloyd · 09/11/2014 17:42

Wow, well done, Double! Two sizes? That's fab!

Soz about the job, Tea. That's a bit shit.

DoubleMum · 09/11/2014 22:00

Yes well the trousers don't really do up so it's kind of cheating...

OP posts:
Lizzylou · 09/11/2014 22:03

Llost you all!
Sorry about the job Tea.
2 sizes is fab, Double Smile
I am knackered from all the school work, just so tired Confused

DoubleMum · 10/11/2014 12:44

I have a friend who's just got her first full time teaching job since she had kids, and she feels just the same Lizzy. :(

But they're over the thighs .... and in the world of hockey players this is a good thing Double. New trousers. Whooooooop!

DoubleMum · 18/11/2014 21:08

Phew, there's been a lot going on here in smaller trouser land. New job started, offer accepted on house, mortgage semi-rejected. Quite a week. I may have eaten some things I wasn't meant to.

OP posts:
TeaMakesItAllPossible · 18/11/2014 21:20

Brilliant Double. Just brilliant. well except the semi-rejected mortgage. Hell that's not a full no though.

And your trousers are still smaller. Feck me. This time next year Double we'll all be Kate Moss.

Whoooooooop!

Iamapplesnotcakes · 19/11/2014 18:28

Yay for the new job Double, that was speedy work. Mortgage people just making you work for their love, they're bastards like that.

Whilst you are swanning about in smaller trouser land i am shuffling into tighter trouser territory. My weight is the same as when i got back from my US holiday at the end of July. Nothing has been achieved. Zilch. Nada. Up a bit, down a bit. Up a bit more. Down some but not much. Thats how it goes.

Really wanted to be back at pre holiday weight before exposure to thin people at Christmas. Need to get a move on. Am starting by meeting someone for dinner tonight in a place called Spaghetti House. That's not going to help is it...

RandallFloyd · 19/11/2014 22:53

Bloody hell, Double. That's a busy week you've had there!
Congrats in the job. Hope the mortgage gets sorted soon.

Apples, I'm with you.
We need to get our arses in gear!

DoubleMum · 20/11/2014 11:20

I spoke too soon. The job has piffled out, back to the drawing board. Am in annoying trouser territory where my larger sizes are too big but can only get one of the smaller sizes properly on. Need to lose some more tummy and a whole new wardrobe will magically open to me.
Still not heard about mortgage, they'd better phone today.

Hello Chiefs. I can never find you. Delighted to discover you by accident in Weight Loss chat. Am sticking closely by now that I've found you!

I am doing the low carb bootcamp on MN, and am glad to report that I have lost a good few pounds. But I have had to stray into carb territory from time to time. Low carbing does work for me but it seems unsustainable - I feel as though my body is propelling me towards carbs. Anyway, the scales are moving downwards for now and I suppose that's all that counts about a diet.

Glad to be back with you all.

Dinkydoos · 20/11/2014 14:27

Hi all.
Just catching up, sorry to hear about the ups and downs double and fingers crossed they call with good news on mortgage.
Hello again note glad the low carb working for you! definitely did for me when I first tried that. Mmmmmm bacon...
Snap apples and randall pretty much stayed the same since holiday! boring myself now. Am hoping for a pound off tomorrow as had no wine and done 2 fasts this week, and we all know how hard the wine abstaining is for me so there flipping better be a result Grin
Hello tea hope better news on job front! and sorry lizzy about the tiring nature of the school! everyone I ever knew who did that year! says it nearly killed them!
Time for another fecking herbal tea me thinks....
