bel i'm sorry to hear about your friend. i hope she makes a fulla nd speedy recovery x

i'm sorry i vanished again last night.ds2 got sick again.we finally fell asleep around 3am.i really hope he is well by friday.i think he has picked up a bug but it won't be helping that he has to sit his sats this week due to be away with his dad when they are officially being sat.couple that with him going away without me for 2 weeksthink i'd be sick too.

on a lighter know ,the suns out here and i had a sneaky peak on my scales(they showed 10stone last week ) and they are showing 9st 7.they do read different depending on where they are in the bathroom but i'm hoping it means a couple of pounds off at weigh in tomorrow.fingers crossed.i've just got to be good today

Sorry to hear about your friend bel hope she gets better.

Katy the years soon fly by don't they! I was looking into nursery for dd2 yesterday and it seems crazy she will be 3 soon! (she's my last baby so I'm a little tiny bit sad she's growing so quick otoh I don't miss the sleepless nights etc)

I had a sneaky look on the scales today too and I'm slowly going in the right direction although my wii fit keeps piling the weight on me everyday I think it's because we're using it on carpet!! (I am deffo not putting weight on!)

Right gotta dash for school run back later

fatkatyslim · 29/04/2008 08:54

ok,i don't me to pmsl but dh xbox just broke........runs off before he hears me howling with laughter.

Bel - I reckon it means I have a slow metabolism for my age, which means I don't do enough exercise which means I burn up food slower and hence it is more of a struggle to lose weight. Oh and the first thing I do in the morning when I 3wake up is need the loo too

Katy - hope your ds is better soon, mine seems to be a lot better today, I have taken him to nursery, they said there has been a 24 hour bug going around there.

Right hopefully another good day for me today and hopefully a loss in the morning

Jahan · 29/04/2008 10:29

Bel - sorry to hear about your friend. hope she makes a complete recovery.
Katy - sorry to hear about your ds. poor you must be very tired. Lol about xbox. I'd laught too! . They are such boys aren't they?

I wanted to go out shopping today but the weather is miserable and I can't be bothered anymore. Just want to sit in front of the tv and eat toast (but I'm not)

fatkatyslim · 29/04/2008 13:31

i've had enough today.dd has just fallen into the chair leg and has an egg on her head!
the plumber isn't coming to fix the toilet and shower(fucking landlord)
i am stuck in the house as ds2 is ill.

pollywobbledoodle · 29/04/2008 14:26

Oh Katy, some days are just b**gers aren't they? Egg will make for a nice birthday photo! Hope ds feels better soon....SATS are such a pressure on the kids (and parents )

Sorry to hear about your friend Bel....it's a rotten thing to happ[en. I've had 2 friends diagnosed with it in the last couple of years. Both doing well after surgery, radiotherapy and chemo.

well I took a snaeaky peak at the scales as well and found i am 13st 6lb .....that's 5lb heavier than when i started on this thread in october!....it's the kick up the backside i need....stick this slow and steady, i'm going for a diet overhaul! I have dug out my food diaries from about 6 years ago when i successfully got down to 11 and a half and am using those as a guide....and have got a collection of motivators pinned up like "fat congealed around your internal organs is like that on the plate after a fry up" and "butter and cheese are just flavoured fat" and finally, at 11 and a half i'm going shopping big style

brekkie fruit and fibre
lunch rice,sweetcorn, mushrooms and tom juice microwaved and a few grapes

we're having cod with new pots and veg in a balsamic vinegar glaze (ooh er.....dh is cooking and he's under orders to limit the fat)

fatkatyslim · 29/04/2008 15:41

thanks for the cuddles polly.
can i come for tea please?

Jahan · 29/04/2008 15:45

Hugs from me too Katy. Your poor dd but they will get all sorts of cuts, bruises and bumps. Try not to be too upset about it.

Good for you Polly. Sometimes you need that big kick before it clicks!
Those motivators sound good!

LoveMyGirls · 29/04/2008 16:28

Katy ((((((((((hugs))))))))))

My lot are all sat by me doing colouring (colouring masks for tomorrow's toddle in the park to raise money for meningitis) We've (mindees parents and I) have raised over £200 so far looking forward to seeing how much we will raise altogether (think theres going to be about 15 to 20 childminders there)

My brother has gone into hospital today with chest pains (not sure what it is but he has been stressed lately he's only 30) so waiting to hear how he is probably won't hear anything until my mum gets home from work at about 11pm

I'm on a course today 7.30pm til 9.30 and I really don't want to go, i'd rather go swimming! Wouldn't mind if it was actually to do with the practical side but its yet another compulsory course on how to do even more paperwork then in 12mths they'll tell us how it's out dated and we need to work to a different framework!

fatkatyslim · 29/04/2008 16:57

thanks for the hugs x i feel a bit better now

hope your brother is ok lovemygirls x

OP posts:
pollywobbledoodle · 29/04/2008 21:14

thanks jahan

lovemygirls hope your brother is ok. have to ask...with the admindescription, which public service are you in?

Glad you feel a bit better katy.....roll on bedtime....

stuck to plan, chopped carrots and celery and put it in a bag.....and am making a big pan of veg soup!....dh was a bit shocked when i quizzed him on his cooking methods and made him strain the juices off my veg....he won't know what to do when i give him a can of spraylight{grin}....he of course is a 6'2'' skinny minny who struggles to keep his weight up

any sign of susie/spotty/mylittlepud of late?

LoveMyGirls · 29/04/2008 21:36

belcantavinissima · 30/04/2008 14:40

my friend from the gym called me this morning saying she went there and ther was the owner of the building (not the business)-and its bllody ell gone bankruot, theyve not paid the rent for over 2 months and not paid the stff for 2 months and theyve disappeared. so i have lost about £300 as we paid upfront (as they do all that ' oh you can pay monthly but it works out loads chepaer if you pay for 12 months and at the moment we have 18 mths for the price of 12 bah de bloody Blah'. ) DH IS GOING TO HIT THE BLOODY ROOF oops caps lock sorry! am so angry. is ther any way on earth i can get that money back? god what bastards, plus i really LiKed it there, its the first gym i have ever been to that i wanted to go and i enjoyed it. and frankly i cant see dh forking out for a different membership somewhere else now. . am dreading telling him.

belcantavinissima · 30/04/2008 14:41

btw not read thread today as too steamed up atm but am sure you are all doing fabulously well

pollywobbledoodle · 30/04/2008 14:54

bl**dy hell! that's awful bel....usually you are put on a list of people owed money but you will be a way down the pecking order i think....ask on general message boards....there are some lawyers out there...or citizens advice?

belcantavinissima · 30/04/2008 15:46

ah yes good idea, think i will copy and paste.

fatkatyslim · 30/04/2008 16:03

lousy bastards bel
i'm sure your dh will be ok,it's not your fault x

i lost a pound today
i'm bound to put it back on in a bit though as we are off to the pub to celebrate dds birthday.can't believe my little girl is one

OP posts:
pollywobbledoodle · 30/04/2008 20:56

well dh changed the menu so instead of risotto we had home made thin crust pizza with mushrooms, onions and l/f mozzarella. a couple of new pots and salad

add a couple of boiled sweets to fight of the craving for something strong tasting and fatty and some yoghurt on the fruit and that is it for the day

any useful advice bel?

well done katy!....it's frightening how quickly they grow up isn't it?

LoveMyGirls · 30/04/2008 21:06

Hi

Katy Happy birthday to your dd, 1 is such a lovely age past the baby stuff (hopefully more full nights sleep) and not quite at the toddler tantrum age! Well don for losing 1lb too!!! (be honest is it getting really hard now to lose weight?)

bel what arseholes! really hope you can get your money back!

polly At ww I buy fruities (like wine gums but they're free like fruit and sweet!) or chocolate melts (which are boiled sweets) I et these between meals (keep them in my car/ handbag)

LoveMyGirls · 30/04/2008 21:12

I got on my wii fit today and i put the clothes on I'd had on wen I got it on friday and apparently i've lost 1 lb since then (although its ben adding weight everyday so it said i'd lost 9lb since then but thats crap ) so now I'm 10 st exactly which means I've lost 2 stone since Jan (lets see what happens at my weigh in on friday before i get too excited though!)
