Morning everyone

I'm having a hair cut tomorrow, first one in two years. I have had the same long hair forever, all one length that I put up pretty much everyday. I'm so bored of it.

I want a proper hair style 😁

66babe · 07/07/2021 09:44

Oh how exciting @Tynks do you know what you fancy ? Have you looked on Pinterest?

Are you brave enough for a pic ?

Tynks · 07/07/2021 10:08

I don't let a camera near me in real life so I wouldn't be brave enough to post online.

Anyone else avoid the camera in real life?

66babe · 07/07/2021 10:24

No selfie Queen here lol

Perfect man, what is this of which you speak 😂

Morning everyone! Smile
I'm doing OK. Had another massive craving last night, but didn't have anything in so couldn't binge. I'm so glad this morning that I didn't. Normally would have been feeling bad and guilty. Not so this morning! Grin
Funny you should say about getting your hair cut Tynks, I booked my mobile hairdresser yesterday! I used to always have my hair long, at least bra strap length. At the begining of the year though I had a layered chin length bob, but I've never really been happy with it. I asked the hairdress to book me in in September to allow me to grow it a bit, then found this hairstyle:

And love it! The earliest appointment I can get is in the beginning of August. I'm looking forward to it though.

I have an undercut pixie @73kittycat73

Be careful as it takes a lot of maintenance... looks great for 2 weeks then it just looks thick and clumpy
I get mine cut every 4 weeks and it's also very difficult to jazz it up
I always said if the Queen ever invited me to dinner I'd not look any different lol
And with my face looking fatter just now , it's not great
However when I am a perfect weight with beautiful tiny features I'm sure I'll be stunning in her dreams 🤨

I love that @73kittycat73 but I am no way brave enough. Also, like babe said about the constant trimming, I don't think I could keep up with it to keep it looking good.

I was contemplating a bob, but then I thought that would mean a daily blow dry to keep it looking good plus regular trims.

Having long hair means I visit the hairdresser every couple of years.

I'm definitely having a fringe cut in, I'm confident to trim a fringe as I trimmed my daughters for years when she was small so I've had lots of practise. Have also decided on collar bone length, at the moments it's just under my bra. I would also like some different lengths round my face to get away from all one length.

I'm scared if I'm honest. Most women love the hairdressers but I would prefer a teeth scale and polish 😂

73kittycat73 · 07/07/2021 12:29

I am sure you are stunning anyway 66babe. Smile Thanks for the upkeep warning about the hair. Yours sounds very nice too. Smile
Aww, I never used to get my haircut often either Tynks. It used to be down to my bum! Some of the hairdressers are quite rough aren't they? I think they forget there's a person under that scalp!
I hope the fringe cutting goes well, sounds like you've got it anyway. Smile

Aria999 · 07/07/2021 12:57

@Tynks I have mixed feelings about hairdressers too (I also have long hair). I loathe the mirrors! Something about the harsh daylight I guess 🤣

Aria999 · 07/07/2021 12:57

I reached my target today 😊

66babe · 07/07/2021 15:02

@Aria999 !!!! That's fantastic you must feel amazing
Tell us how you did it !

@Tynks if my hair was bra length I'd have really long hair too ... down past my knees 🤣

Hit rock bottom
Aria999 · 07/07/2021 16:08

@66babe thanks! Yes I have been in such a good mood all morning. I was singing in the supermarket, I expect i got a few funny looks. It was only from 9st12 to 9st7 but it makes a big difference to how I look (I am 5ft 4).

Lots of meat and dairy, very little sugar, reduced wheat, and cutting out vegetable oil and other high omega 6 products. It's been so much easier than other diets.

66babe · 07/07/2021 16:31

@Aria999 that's worth looking into
Well done again .. how do you plan to maintain ?

OP posts:
Aria999 · 07/07/2021 16:34

It's actually a nice way of eating and I find I don't really want sugar and processed foods as much as I did so I will probably just continue and see if any more lbs come off! In the hazy and distant past I used to weigh 9st... that would be nice!

66babe · 07/07/2021 17:12

Yes me too @Aria999 then I started senior school I think 😤

Congratulations Aria999! I bet it feels fantastic?! Star
Well, the someone from the LL office did actually come out today. My loo was making very weird noises every time you flushed. He put a new washer on it somewhere. It now whispers as I don't want to tempt fate works. Only taken since Saturday. rolls eyes
Can I upset everyone by talking about the Christmas word? Xmas Grin If you have Sky TV, Movies 24 has gone Christmas for the month!
I'm a total Christmas nut. I've already bought my Christmas planner, ribbon for presents, and some tree decorations. It'll almost be here, someone put the sprouts on!

Aria999 · 07/07/2021 19:02

@73kittycat73 good news about the loo!

I have a friend who sometimes does a full Christmas dinner party in the middle of June 😁

66babe · 07/07/2021 19:20

I heard them talking about Junemas on Capital radio a while back
People were planning family get togethers and a full Xmas dinner for 25/6
Probably because freedom day was supposed to 21/06

I love sprouts but would never eat them any day apart from Xmas day
How stupid is that 🤣 bit like red cabbage and apple ... mmmmmm

OP posts:
Tynks · 07/07/2021 19:56

Yes I read that Aldi were selling mince pies for Junemas.

Tynks · 07/07/2021 20:55

How many steps today @66babe ?

I've only done 4967 but I've been good with food.
