It's my weigh in tomorrow as well, getting my hair cut before i go, is that a bit extreme??!!

marj · 26/01/2005 20:22

Good Luck to you both for your weigh in tomorrow. Today has been a good day for me, about time as have had 3 rubbish days this week already. (I weigh on Saturday.)

Thanks for the blancmange recipe EM - will definitely try it out. Maybe it will stop me indulging in the c word too often!

LOL Coppertop (sorry! ), sounds painful!

Evesmama · 26/01/2005 20:50

you're welcome marj, how've you been and wigwambam..hows you

MunchedTooManyMarsLady · 26/01/2005 20:52

miam, still waiting to hear how last week's salsa went. Obviously it went well as you are off again tonight.

coppertop · 26/01/2005 20:58

Dh laughed too. He said it was the muffled cries for help from under a soggy toddler nappy that made him laugh most.

every little helps beth

marj · 26/01/2005 21:41

I am good EM, how are you? Good day?
Feeling very smug as I have had a very good day today and have wavered from my healthy eating path once. If only every day was so easy eh!

marj · 26/01/2005 21:41

Should have said that I have NOT wavered from my healthy eating. Must learn to preview!

BethAndHerBrood · 26/01/2005 21:53

On the same lines as getting my hair cut, does anybody else take off their nail varnish and not wear their earrings to get weighed, or is it just me??!!!

Evesmama · 26/01/2005 21:55

yeah, ive had a good day too
and yes again, i always used to take my watch,earings and rings off whenever i got weighed at s.w........its like knickers at home...they weigh two stone dont you know, even the skimpiest ones

LunarSea · 26/01/2005 22:05

Don't take off earrings - just weight first thing before putting them (or anything else) on!

BethAndHerBrood · 26/01/2005 22:11

evesmama, i am not a suitable candidate for skimpy knickers! The world is not ready for that!! My knickers are industrial size, with a bow on the front!

Evesmama · 26/01/2005 22:13

and dont forget the wash instruction tag in the back

BethAndHerBrood · 26/01/2005 22:18

Am snipping now! Do my socks need to be as long as that? They must weigh loads!

Evesmama · 26/01/2005 22:20

SOCKS!!!!!!!!!! get em off!!!!!

Evesmama · 26/01/2005 22:24

check for buggers and fluff between the toes

BethAndHerBrood · 26/01/2005 22:25

Be a bit embarressing in the middle of the church hall!! And the other "ladies" don't appear to have a sense of humour! There's nearly a punch up over who wins the "slimmer of the week" sash!

BethAndHerBrood · 26/01/2005 22:26

What are "buggers" - in relation to socks!??

miam · 27/01/2005 09:44

Mars - I really enjoyed our first salsa class. It was pretty sedate really - just getting us used to the basic steps. Last night was a hoot!! They speeded things up big time and included a couple of very fancy steps - my sis and I could hardly do it for laughing! (The instructor kept coming across to find out what all the noise was about ). Was absolutely sweating by the end - you really wanted to know that didn't you - and felt that I had had a very good workout. I think it is the best thing I have tried - great fun. They are holding a huge salsa evening in Stirling next month and I think we are going to go. Might try bellydancing next.....

miam · 27/01/2005 09:45

Oh, and I am back down to 9.9 again thank goodness, so definately back on course again.

BethAndHerBrood · 27/01/2005 11:00

Well, i'm feeling very pleased with myself! I've lost 3 1/2 lbs this week, even with a bad weekend! Got my 1/2 stone sticker! How excited was i??!!!

miam · 27/01/2005 11:50

A HUGE slap on the back to you Beth!! Well done. Have you stopped grinning yet??
