Welcome to new people!

I have also done about 5 miles on my bike today, not as good as yesterday but about to go and sort out my office which involves lifting lots of heavy boxes and files.

DP said he would get his weights out of the shed and 'sort out my bingo wings'. Thanks, DARLING ahem.

Thankyou, thankyou!
There really is strength in numbers, i've had special k with soya light, for lunch soup, for dinner salmon, with brown pasta and spinach. oh, and i'm going to walk about a mile today, i'm meeting friends in ..........MMMMMcDONAAAAALDS!!!!

no please dont stone me, oh, bum i'm gonna get kicked out are'nt i?!

i wonder if my mum has kept her old one and i could do it when dd is napping whilst watching telly!!

No I visit my clients around the city on my bike. Once again I'm a Support Worker not a prostitute!!!

I'm dreading the really bad weather starting cos I will have to use my car again and won't get the exercise

Thanks katy, what if i ordered an extra value meal for a friend but then ate it, do the calories not count?!

I'm sure its too early to feel the benefits but I have far more energy today- maybe because I didn't eat so much crap yesterday?

Hi everyone, welcome to new starts

Struggling a bit here at the moment due to lack of sleep. Have managed to be good so far though Porridge and fruit for breakfast then veggie soup for lunch. Have not caved in to the demon carbs too much, wanted some biscuits but had some wholemeal bread with a scrape of jam instead.

Hope the all of the ill tinies are better soon. Think we're in for another bad night with croup here.

First few days are always the worst for me when trying to lose a few lbs (probably the wine withdrawal). All the best for the rest of the day, think slim...remember the mantra...nothing tastes as good as slim feels.

right give up looking for lost exersise dvd just bought a new one on amazon will be hear tomoro lol sure the world is agenst me loseing weight but i wont let it beet me this time as for birthday cake i have shut it in the cupbord so i cant hear it calling me any more kids can eat it all when they get home, they will be happy and i wont have to eat it my self lol

loloupgarou have you tryed useing steam to help with your little ones croup? i hear it works well turning on the shower and steaming up bathroom boiling water in kictchen or if you have a face sarna leave it on (but out of little ones reach of corse,) also costs a bit more but have you tryed the vicks plug ins? like the air freshiner things and karvol, just some ideas.

keep going everyone it will be worth it , i feel great after my walk and dd woke up in a lovely mood

laloupgarou hope your little one is better soon,my ds suffers with asthma so i can understand some of what you are going through

dislexicecream hooray you didn't eat the cake,extra big pat on the back for you[grin[]

it's not we can do this WE ARE DOING THIS and we are doing it bloody well

Could I join you ? I have no will power on my own ! Ds was born 12 months ago - and I was 3 stone lighter leaving hospital than I am now !!!! Am I the only person in the world to lose weight whilst I was pregnant (on the day I went into hospital I was half a stone lighter than when I found out I was pregnant !!!) only to put all this weight back on 12 months later. Am appauled.
Although, before pregnancy, I lost 2 stone with Weight watchers, so I know I can do it -I just have a different lifestyle now - which gives me more excuses not to ! Until now that is. (hopeful emoticon !)
I can offer one bit of soup advice (linking to further down the thread) when I was on Weightwatchers, I used to make no point soup (cut up 2 carrots, and an onion. Add water and boil. Once carrots are soft, mash up total contents with a fork - hey presto, a soup. You'll probably need to add some salt tho - tastes pretty bland without it.) The tip though - is not the recipe, it is, to make the soup prior to your meals. Pour a cup full into a mug, and drink it before you make lunch / tea. It's a really easy way to cut down on your portions.

imagineafullnightsleep thanks for the soup idea,i always thought it had tomatoes in it so thats why i never bothered( i hate tomatoes!) anyway welcome and enjoy the ride,we can't guarantee you'll lose a stone but hope you give it a damn good shot,everyone has made a great start so good luck x{grin}

Hi all heard a great quote today
" whether you think you can or you think you can't you are probably right"
so think you CAN ladies, I have been saying that to myself all day

great quote slimbyxmas yes we can

Oh, I have just eaten Beef, potatoes, fresh asparagus, sauted mushrooms, and a creamy peppers sauce.

This meal was planned for my au pairs 20th birthday. Now, back on the diet. sorry guys. I hope I did not make you hungry.

Hi everyone, thanks for the sympathy and croup advice, much appreciated

I have managed to stay good all day but too tired to cook dinner now, so will either be toast or takeaway for dinner once dcs in bed! Then it'll be an early night, I'm shattered.

Mmmm Scary that sounds lish - my mouth's watering. And well done Katybump on the walking!

Brekkie: Porridge, raisins & nectarine
11'ses: nothing - resisted cream scone as I knew I would be on here later! [proud emoticon]
Lunch: Bacon (grilled), Brie (healthy living version) & tomato ciabatta melt. Cherry Toms and cuc
PM T: Friend's scrummy chocolate slice (tiny) & little apple
Dinner: Minted Lamb Chops, Aparagus, mini corn & green beans. (was also to have spicy couscous but DH knocked it on the floor )
Drinks: decaf tea x2, Diet Ginger Beer x 1, 5 glasses water.
Exercise: 1 hour mad Supermarket Dash & a swimming session with babyshoes.

May have to have some wholemeal toast or something later as I'm still really hungry but will resist the bad stuff
Saw my huge ass in the swimming pool mirror so determined to stick at this!
