Chirpygirl - 4lb - 4lb
bran -0.2kg - 1.4kg

and then I tried realy bloody harder than usual last week and lost 0.
Do you remember my stresses about Dsis and her medication nd how DM would react? Well dsis has lost a bit (well done) and pt a bit back, lost it again then lost faith in her tabs for the side effects. But she came clean to DM who was thrilled and said it eas a shame I couldn't have them (dsis helpuflly - because niceness is too much - that I wouldn't get anything on prescription because of my depressive past)

I have DHs son staying this week so we will be being super-healthy. Hoe it helps me as I am having a fat bird image crisis.

Back soon and keep up the hard work guys

jaz236 · 11/09/2008 08:27

wel from now on im on this thread with u guys, and its a dammed site better that the fatfighters site which is crap - soups tdya galore, and im thinking of eating naked infron of the mirror what ya think? xxx

qucik question did anyones 9 mnth old baby start sticking their tongues out alot?? my baby has started to do this for the last few days - is it soemthing hes discovered do u think?

PinkChick · 11/09/2008 09:39

Hi Ria.. at your ignorant sister..she is so obviouslt jelous! and FWIW, im on reductil after being treat for depression, so 8-P (sticks toungue out at her) there!..the only reason AFAIK that they wont give you reductil (if it IS that shes on?) is if you have more 'physical' probs like high blood pressue etc..keep going chick, you havent put any on, so that IS GOOD

PinkChick · 11/09/2008 09:40

and Hi jaz..no i couldnt eat in front of mirror neked..id be feeling incredibly sick!

RGPargy · 11/09/2008 12:53

Hi Ria, sorry you didn't lose any weight this week. Nevermind, just keep at it. They say that it takes a week for your sins or being good to show. So for instance if you were bad this week and got weighed but didn't put on, it might actually show the week after so maybe it's the same with you being good, eh? Chin up luv!

Jaz - lol @ your DS sticking his tongue out!! Could it be something to do with his teeth or teething? I know that DD has started to babble slightly differently since she got her first tooth last week (she's also 9 months). She did go through a habit of sucking in her lower lip too when she was about 5 months. I think it's probably just a discovery thing crossed that could be crossed with teething.

My DD has gone on milk strike with MIL. She absolutely REFUSES to take milk from MIL. She had 1.5oz all day at MILs but when i got home last night she had 2 bottles of milk in about 1hr 30 mins! She's always been a small drinker anyway so when she drank 8 1/2 ounces in that short space of time, i was amazed!!!

jaz236 · 11/09/2008 17:28

awwwwwww she got her first tooth, major milestones here going on! I must admit this is the most entertaining of all the months hes constantly making me laugh!

RGPargy · 11/09/2008 21:38

Agreed Jaz, it's a brilliant comical age isn't it!

FiveGoMadInDorset · 12/09/2008 08:42

I am sorry I haven't b een posting on here much, RL is taking over somewhat, however I have managed to lose a 1lb which is great as it is slowly and steadily coming off. also a major milestone is that DS is sleeping through and has done for about 10 days now which means we are actualy getting some decent sleep.

jaz236 · 12/09/2008 09:04

RGPargy · 12/09/2008 11:06

Five - well done on the loss of a pound and the gain of a good night's sleep!! It's really good when you wake up and realise they've not woken you up all night, isn't it!

Jaz - i must try this points free soup malarky for when i need foodage. Poor little DS for throwing up! Hope he settled relatively soon after that.

If you want to find me on Facebook, do a search for my email address: ravegirl @ blueyonder.co.uk

jaz236 · 12/09/2008 11:35

RGPargy · 12/09/2008 11:57

Jaz - are you searching for my email in the email search thing or just the search bar at the top? If you go through the Friend Finder bit, there's a bit at the bottom of the page to stick an email address and that's where you put mine in and i will pop up!

Riaonabroomstick · 14/09/2008 12:13

hello again. not doing well, feeling ill and have DHs son staying (age 19). we are teaching him to cook. being nice 24/7 is killing me.

DHs son wants to lose weight too, so I know I should be taking the opportunity, but I am too tired.

Good old Ria, maon, moan, moan...

hope you are all doing well.

bran · 14/09/2008 19:17

Hi everyone, I haven't been on MN much this week. Now that ds is back at school I've been out and about doing RL stuff instead. At least I managed to lose some weight this week, hurrah. I'm going to go back up the thread and see how you've all been doing now.

SummatAnNowt · 15/09/2008 11:53

I've been on holiday, but thanks to swimming every morning I lost weight! Even if I did hit the pick 'n mix too many times!

Interesting you should say that PinkChick, I'm not on the pill but I've been having the two weekly pains thing going on. I figure it's probably my cycle settling down as mine did stop when I was heavier.

jaz236 · 15/09/2008 20:26

how long where you swimming for Sumamtandnowt? and how many weeks> and how much did u loose? im full of cold now and its dire!! so no excercise for me at the mo bohoo

Riaonabroomstick · 15/09/2008 21:20

I don't now pink. I've got an implanon implant and it's weird. All or nothing IYSWIM. Quite often all the time. Maybe I should have the damned thing removed cos I've put on 2 stone since it went in.

I am struggling with everything this week. It is hard having an extra person around (esp. one who eats more on his second helping than the first!)DS2 is having nightmares too so I aren't sleeping well as Iend up in with him most nights. It's not a big bed.

I rang dsis tonight while she was on her super-duper (dead expensive) ass kicking exercise bike. She sounded terrible!

I am SO going to get back on track when things get back to normal here.

PinkChick · 16/09/2008 12:41

oh od Ria she sounds Soooooooooo competitive and will do herself a mischief if she doesnt chill out!

well gals, i lost another 4lb when i got weighed this morn..so 2 1/2 stone exactly..would really love to lose the other 1/2 by time we go away but i think thats a bit unrealistic(we go in 13 days, so if i could get the 4lbs off and be 14 stone dead on, id be over the flipping moon

ooh and although it wasnt a prob ebfore, nurse said my blood pressure has come down too!, which she said is direct result of losing weight..not sure how that will effect me?(d'ur emocion) but she seemed to think it was good

however as ive just been into town to buy dd a batehr for school swimming (PANIC!!) i was so tempted to get a macdonalds brekky..but i didnt..i went and got jacket spud with loads of salad..however i did treat meyself..to a lovely bar of proper chocolate from thorntons..mmmmmmmmmmmmm..although feel sick now as not sued to it anymore!...BUT i then went into debenhams and they had some cool pink girly dumbells half price!...so i bought them..so will combine those with my sit ups and lunges every night and hopefully tone up a lot more too

have a good day everyone..am off to finish stripping breakfst room now before school run!..catch you all later!
