trixymalixy · 04/10/2007 18:38

Hi,

Haven't been on for a few days. Just tbeen to my RC weigh in and have lost 2 lbs since last week, so I'm now 12' 6 1/2".

Thought it would have been more given that I have been running around like a luntic all week, but I did have my boots on and she wouldn't let me take them off. I certainly feel thinner anyway!!

Have just skimmed the posts but you all sound very virtuous!!!

ShinyHappyPurpleSeveredHeads · 04/10/2007 18:42

Hello.. sorry for not checking in. Have been being rather good except for eating a hot dog sausage and a large handful of M&Ms last night.. they just sort of fell into my mouth during a weak moment but I'm back on the wagon now, never fear.

Have only been to the gym once this week (and no time tomorrow) whereas usually go three but very hectic week.

DH has been poorly all week and not really eating much at all so he's had a head start .. but certainly wouldn't want to feel as he has been!

Are we weighing on any paricular day by the way?

spottyshoes · 04/10/2007 20:01

Grrr I'm so sick of cleaning the frigging house only to have it messed up straight away! Then I make the dinner then have to do the bath bed routine and come down to tidy everything up again, do some washing put out the bins, sew trousers all whilst hubby sits with his feet up playing on the x-box 3 frigging 60! He's now gone out for his game of footy whilst i'm left with the ironing Sorry, I know that was off topic but just had to rant!

Feel like I've done ok today but am a bit gutted I didnt weigh myself at the start so I have no idea how well i'll have done by the end of the week . Anyone know where I can weigh myself where it isnt one of those massive machines that flash your weight up for all to see?

We seem to have been a bit thin on the ground today - i trust everyone has been out exercising like mad??

pollywollydooooooooodle · 04/10/2007 20:23

well done trixy(if i lose 2lbs this week i will be happy!) and

shinypurple (to err is human and all that....hope you enjoyed your treats...)I was planning a weigh in on mon which will be a week

dear spottyshoes the assertive response is to say to hubby i need help (or you get rumpled clothes and no dinner) the passive aggressive one is to break the x-box in a subtle way (no hammers allowed) first prob more effective, second prob more fun in the short term....

with all that work i'm surprised you have time to eat!....don't let being cross send you to the biscuit barrel....

i've only ever seen weighing machines at boots and the train station (not sure how discreet they are ....)

pollywollydooooooooodle · 04/10/2007 20:26

ps i like the idea of us being "thin on the ground" (as opposed to the bits of us above it?)

katybumpinthenight · 04/10/2007 20:30

phoned sky ,bt etc etc etc ,measured for curtains been shopping,entertained teething dd,helped ds with homework ...... dh on xbox 3frigging60 !!!! right with you spottyshoes
