so are we all on for this then??

vict17 · 28/11/2004 20:37

Yes definitely - just had a chinese takeaway so tomorrow good day to start

turquoise · 28/11/2004 20:49

Yes please can I join. A stone is highly unlikely, but even a few pounds would be good, since all my jeans are exceedingly uncomfortable. Just a bit of willpower support would be nice, considering i've just polished off 5 mini chunky kitkats (and what a disappointing contradiction in terms those are)for a mid afternoon snack and I hate myself.

Hi Turquoise - don't hate yourself! We can do this! We can feel sexy and glamorous at Xmas!!!

turquoise · 28/11/2004 20:53

I didn't mention the entire coconut custard pie I ate on thursday - serves about 8.

vict17 · 28/11/2004 20:55

lol - don't beat yourself up about what happened before - we're turning over a new leaf tomorrow - yeh!!

vict17 · 28/11/2004 20:55

P.S. I think I consumed my weekly alcohol units and calorie intake on Saturday night

turquoise · 28/11/2004 21:00

YEAH! I said that last monday, but this time will be different.
I shall do daily exercise for the first time since July. Please will you all be very mean to me if I don't - I need Marjorie Dawes!

vict17 · 29/11/2004 09:18

I really need some motivation. I seem to be ballooning before my very eyes My period's over a week late (taken pg test, neg) and I seem to have put on about 7lbs in the last few days. Don't know what's happening to me. Didn't eat loads over the weekend, but did consume quite a large amount of alcohol (red wine). Really need to get going with this diet or I'm going to end up gaining a stone by Christmas! How are you lot going? How are you doing Donbean?

Donbean · 30/11/2004 19:33

Dont mean to brag when you are feeling so fed up chuck...but i have been very very good.
Do you want to get together one day, im off till Friday?

Donbean · 30/11/2004 19:34

By the way, hows DS now after your awful weekend with her?

bottle · 30/11/2004 19:34

good to speak to someone other than myself.. thought thread had died! i find that i retain lots of water just before my period could it be that

i had a bad day yesterday pizza and beer dh is to blame
still determined so back on today don't give up

I'd love to. I'm free on Thursday if that's any good for you. Could do with some cheering up and you can let me in on your diet secrets!

Donbean · 30/11/2004 19:36

Thursday would be lovely. Morning or afternoon and where would be good for you. Do you live up south shore?

bonniej · 30/11/2004 19:36

bottle, retained water sounds good to me! better than retained fat anyway. Donbean, dd is now slightly better but nappys still not back to normal.

Donbean · 30/11/2004 19:37

NOW THEN BOTTLE...pizza and beer, NOT diet food....

bonniej · 30/11/2004 19:38

yes, I'm south shore. I haven't got a clue where to meet really. We could go to Stanley Park (the walk up there would do me good) but I don't know if the cafe's open mid week. Wouldn't be much fun if it rains. Have you got any ideas? Morning would be better for me.
