This thread isn't for peddling your pyramid scheme nonsense.

I don't think there is a need for you to call it that.

It isn't and I genuinely am part of a group that had changed my life to loose weight and be positive

Sorry it seemed to cause offence

SoonToBeMrsB · 01/04/2015 14:26

Well, that's how the whole thing looks to me.

I know a few people who did it and managed to stick to it for a couple of weeks before giving in and returning to long-term plans that are actually sustainable.

Thanks for your comments but we're not interested on this thread.

Just picked up my swimsuit for the honeymoon. I bought it from Marisota as they did a nice one with long torso. It fits lovely. Has tummy firming feature??

Food has been ok today. I had a fish and a few chips. Banana for breakfast. I might have soup for supper? Do made a beef stew but We'll have it tomorrow.

FreakinScaryCaaw · 03/04/2015 19:37

Do is dp.

FreakinScaryCaaw · 05/04/2015 08:09

Is there anybody there? Wink

Long 13 hour shift for me today. I'll be having muesli and banana for breakfast and soup for one other meal. I'll pop out if I get chance for lunch or there may be some spare dinner? I'll pass on Yorkshire puds if there is.

Dowser · 05/04/2015 10:56

I'm here.

Not too many of us around at the moment is there?

Has everyone reached goal all ready lol?

I'm just coughing away, fighting all the aggro that my cousin seems to have incurred since she lost her husband . Incredible.

Food wise not brilliant. Sucking a lot of sugary sweets when I have a coughing fit but don't have a big appetite right now.

Normally would go to caravan for Easter but just not well enough :-(

FreakinScaryCaaw · 05/04/2015 15:33

Death can bring out the worst in people. I hope she'll be ok? She has enough to deal with.

I've done ok so far food wise. Got some chicken dinner from the kitchen but binned the roast pud. Been active cleaning and walking. Dancing tonight after work but don't finish until 10. I'll get last couple of hours of easter party.

It's a beautiful day today. Happy Easter everyone.Easter Wink

FreakinScaryCaaw · 05/04/2015 15:34

Meant binned roasts and Yorkshire pud.

CookieMonster101 · 06/04/2015 11:38

Oh can I join peas? Wedding is in summer 2016 but I have about 4 stone to lose. With dress shopping coming closer I need to try harder again.

My downfall is snacking. My meals are ok but I fall off the wagon when coming home and being tired and hungry.

Doing slimming world but have only lost three pounds so far.

FreakinScaryCaaw · 06/04/2015 12:11

Hi CookieMonster congratulations on your wedding and well done on the weight loss.

CookieMonster101 · 06/04/2015 12:23

Hi Freakin, I have been on sw for almost three months now so it's not high really. But I had a very emotional time with work stress and death of my grandma so it's just not been working. Determined to make more time for myself again now.

When is your wedding? Thanks for the nice welcome :)

SoonToBeMrsB · 06/04/2015 13:43

Hi everyone, I've been off work since Friday with another week to go and not been online a lot. My food has been terrible so far, reining it back in today.

I did a fantastic bootcamp session on Saturday but I threw my back out doing kettlebells, didn't realise I'd hurt myself until I prised my arse off the couch later that night and I'm really suffering now Sad

My wedding is 16th June so just a few weeks....yikes! ! Easter Grin

Dowser · 06/04/2015 19:14

Nice to have you cookie monster.

Mrs B gets married next year and wants about the same weightless so you should make good buddies.

I've lost the plot. I had ice cream and jelly yesterday and too much chocolate and ice cream and chocolate today.

It's really not good enough.

CookieMonster101 · 07/04/2015 12:40

Nice to be here. Glad to see others have similar goals :)

SoonToBeMrsB · 07/04/2015 13:55

My eating was actually okay yesterday and today I've started low carbing in preparation of my Exante order arriving on Friday. Last time I tried it straight off the back of the Christmas holidays and I think detoxing that amount of sugar on top of slashing my calories was just too much. Hopefully this makes it easier as it's my last chance saloon for Turkey.

My week off has not started out too well - DP spent most of yesterday catching up on his stupid FIFA tournament while I read my kindle and today he is back at work while I wait in for my new washing machine. HOWEVER, the guys phoned to confirm a time slot and told me that even though I'd paid for removal and installation, they can't disconnect the old one for insurance purposes. This was not mentioned to me when I ordered it, nor when they contacted me to confirm the delivery date so I'm furious and poor FIL has had to come up to disconnect it. Argh!

Been out for a three course meal with dp and DSS. It was at the pub where we're having our party after the honeymoon. Delicious home cooked food 3 course for £9. Before that we had a good walk around the botanic garden in Durham.

It'll be light eating tomorrow though and plenty of exercise.

Dowser · 08/04/2015 09:53

Just when things looked like they were picking up, we've had some devastating news from Wales.

Got a txt from my cousin( the one whose husbands funeral we were at last week) well her son was taken into hospital . They ran some tests and he has testicular cancer and a shadow on his lung.

I spoke to her last night. After running around all day trying to sort out her affairs , seeing to her mum etc she was back at the hospital late last night when she should be resting and recouping her energy.

I'm hoping it's a mistake :-(

I tried that one with her husband. :-( :-( :-(

I've barely slept. He has two young children

It's not a month since her husband died . I'm in shock and disbelief!

SoonToBeMrsB · 08/04/2015 10:58

Oh Dowser, that's terrible news. I'm so, so sorry that all this is happening to your family, it doesn't seem fair.

My uncle had a heart attack a few months ago, his brain was deprived of oxygen for a long time and he was in a coma for weeks. Just as they were considering pulling the plug, he woke up but he has had to relearn everything, he is in nappies and doesn't remember his partner of 25 years. He is now in assisted living, making up fake memories for himself because he doesn't know who he is. It's not fair, these things happen to undeserving people.

Oh what dreadful news. Your poor cousin. It's a never ending nightmare Sad

Dowser · 08/04/2015 17:42

Thank you so much. It's absolutely heart breaking. She was just picking herself up and putting her best foot forward making the most of an awful situation and now this.

Your uncle mrs B. very, very sad . My dad had a heart attack and they resuscitated him. He never regained consciousness and I'm not sorry. I hope your uncle gets it all back though.

Dowser · 11/04/2015 21:57

Where's all our lovely brides?

Got a lovely Sophie gray dress for my civil ceremony.

Fuschia pink!

They'll see me coming.

However I haven't tried it on yet . Couldn't be bothered in the shop, so it might not ( probably wont) fit.

Need to bin the lethargy and really get cracking.

So out of sync with my diet.

Willpower....nil!

FreakinScaryCaaw · 11/04/2015 22:44

Just me and you at the moment Dowser.

Been a good day. Ate well apart from some birthday cake. Two hours power walking too.

Got in at 10pm. Off tomorrow though but have a presentation to prepare for.

BotoxBitch · 11/04/2015 23:06
