What snow we did have has nearly all gone again Off to the In laws for sunday lunch after I have done some hoovering

Hi Everyone
happy easter!

I lost 1/2 lb last tuesday, i must say i was a bit disappointed it was only 1/2 as i'd really been very good, but something better than nothing i guess

Hopefully a better result this week......

Sorry, not really read through the thread on what i've missed, but Lovemygirls caught my eye... congrats!! Lucky lady!! You're doing so well.

Hope i'm not the only one struggling through the temptation of chocolate all around me .

i'm making do with 1 rolo a day at 1/2point each!!
tee hee!

katylessbumpy · 23/03/2008 18:43

well done on the 1/2 lb mine

i've had a really boring day,didn't manage to go sledging as ds2 didn't get back from his dads until gone 1pm and most of the snow had melted by then.dh has watched the sodding football all day and fell asleep twice
i've made breakfast,lunch and dinner and cleaned up after every meal.changed dd countless times,played with dd,fed dd,got dd to sleep,tidied away the toys,you get the idea.

it's been just like groundhog day.i managed to only have a small piece of chocolate which i pointed

happy easter !

myg od i am soooooo stuffed, i have been quite literally uncontrollable all day long with regards to food esp the bad stuff- so much so that i have given myself hearburn

so am thinking i might give ww a miss tomorrow as i KNOW i have put it on this week- and not just a measly pound let me tell you. so may give myself a week. am gutted as should have got my 10% key tomorrow if i had controlled myself a bit better (or indeed, at all). aaarrrgh.

had our first house viewing yesterday, they seemed to like it but then its hard to tell isnt it? i mean they are unlikely to be out and out rude about it to my face arent they?! would be brill if they did put in an offer tho as they have sold theirs already to cash buyers so no chain their end and none to speak of our end. keep your fingers crossed

katylessbumpy · 23/03/2008 18:51

my fingers are crossed bel
as are my toes i really hope you sell it.
do you feel like you have gained?
it usually takes a few days for the scales to show a binge so you may be ok.you can rein yourself back in after weigh in

OP posts:
belcantavinissima · 23/03/2008 19:15

thanks katy

i have been weighing. i konw i shouldnt but i have. i have put on 2 or 3 lbs

katylessbumpy · 23/03/2008 19:19

your scales may not be the same as ww.
mind you,are you sure your class is open with it being a bank holiday?
then you have a whole week to make your 10%

OP posts:
belcantavinissima · 23/03/2008 19:26

no, theyre not the same as ww- but i know what i was on mine last week.
and sadly, yes, there is def a weigh in tomorrow. she thinks we will need it tomorrow more than ever

pollywobbledoodle · 23/03/2008 20:50

evening all
me and you both bel...have gone off the rails on a chocolate train.....dd had (note past tense) a hotel chocolat egg...it was nice but then i got an eating head on...think i have put myself off choc for a while....will use holiday down the caravan to start good habits again....off tues for a week

well done to those who have been restrained!

mylittlepud....it's horrible not knowing about something so big isn't it? when my periods started playing up i was terrified that i was pg again...

mylittlepudding · 23/03/2008 22:52

Hello,

Eating all over the place on nights. Number of meals is very variable, only 2 today (was sleeping at lunchtime), and now nibbling chocolate. Plus system all upset, still sick, constipated, permanently too hot, etc. Got two labourers so any naps will be in a chair til they are delivered.

Last one though. Hooray! Still not done pregnancy test.

I fit into small theatre scrubs again - not managed that since early pregnancy! woohoo! Might weigh myself on the ward scales once I'm back on days.

Congratulations LoveMyGirls and bel - you are doing great. And Katy, of course!

LoveMyGirls · 24/03/2008 10:04

Thanks for the congrats everyone, I havent been good this weekend at all though and worried I have put weight back on so need to work really really hard this week, we went out for a meal sat night I had steak salad followed by crumble and custard then yesterday I had a slice of profittorole cake (was gorgeous) and a slice of GFY cheesecake and a few quality street.

I'm going to try my very hardest this week but it will be hard because i'm working long days.

Need to go food shopping today and going to see if my friend who is coming for lunch will come swimming with me and I also need to see my family who are all going back up north today but dp has gone back to bed at the minute and I'm not sure when i'm going to fit everything in.

What have you all got planned?

belcantavinissima · 24/03/2008 15:56

hello, i need your help!

sorry if tmi but i really really NEED a poo
havent had one now for a couple of days and i have ww in 2 hours and i need to shift some lol- am all full and bloated- and currently 3lbs heavier than last week . if i go in weighing that much they will string me up . any tips? quick quick! i have tried dried apricots and mixed seeds and water but no luck so far......

katylessbumpy · 24/03/2008 16:36

D- chicken fajitas (no tortillas) salad then muesli and ww yogurt.

Have been so busy today i've just sat down and really i should tidy the living room a bit (only a few toys so should just do it then the whole house will be tidy/ clean)

katylessbumpy · 24/03/2008 20:06

nothing up with him lovemygirls i just don't want him in my life at the moment.

well done for resisting the chocolate

ok,i want to share my news.......
my friend is getting married!! and i'm invited!!!
probably doesn't seem that exciting but i've known for a few years that she wanted to marry her girlfriend and she finally proposed a few weeks ago.i had a phone call earlier to say they are getting hitched on the 11th april.
i am so pleased and excited for them both.
can't believe they are finally doing it
i have to go shopping for a dress now .oooh the trauma

belcantavinissima · 24/03/2008 20:42

OH. MY.GOD.

i am so so so depressed. you will not believe how much i have put on this week.................4andahalfpounds [shockx10000000000

how in the world did i put on soooo much weight????

katylessbumpy · 24/03/2008 20:45

well done for going bel
heres your line.
draw it through the last few days and start afresh tomorrow.those few little pounds will be gone next week

OP posts:
MrsFish · 24/03/2008 20:49

That won't be a proper gain Bel, don't despair, as katy said start afresh tomorrow. I have been bad the last two days too, so I will be starting fresh again aswell

belcantavinissima · 24/03/2008 20:52

thank you for your kkindness but it really is quite bad isnt it???! lets be honest. even the leader looked taken aback. and i had forewarned her i may have put a bit on lol!
if i could only have managed that poo before i went i reckon that may have been about 2lbs worth
