RGPargy · 31/10/2008 13:04

Jaz - lol you're such a toast monster!!

Hi - I've posted in a few other places but saw this thread and thought I'd post here too. I'm 5ft1 and 19stone 5 pounds. Was going to start a big effort to lose weight but I've now found out I'm pregnant. I'm aiming for a no weight gain pregnancy which is going to be tough but hopefully can do it!

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/11/2008 14:25

i geordie. welcome.

so it seems one of my 1lbs I lost doesn't want to leave me. Will be stepping up the effort when the kids go back to school.

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/11/2008 14:26

obviously that said "HI"

countPINKCHICKula · 01/11/2008 20:26

RG i mail you tomorrow, got some bits still here..i did ask on here but no one responded so thought i was being too pushy.x

jaz236 · 01/11/2008 21:07

gawd ive just been to selfridges and loved all the bloody clothes for xmas, i wish my body was like danni minogues then i can just slink into anything Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr! although her boobs aint real! adn look at kery katona she had all the fat sucked out, maybe i should remortgage the hosue and get that done for an early xmas present???

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/11/2008 21:28

I think maybe they took her common sense and self respect too though jaz?
I am munching sea salt and black pepper sensations. I MUST get back on track[blsuh]

RiallyEeRiaee · 01/11/2008 23:05

just watching last nights Gordon Ramsey. Where has Johnny Vegas gone??? has anyone seen any interviews with him about him losing weight?

jaz236 · 01/11/2008 23:58

yeah i have he said that he wanted to loose the fat as he has a son and wanted to kick a ball about with him etc, and was sick of being fat!!

Rially thast bad yummy sensations - ive had marmite on toast again - this is ridicolous - thing is its because we have white bread at the mo, and those roll type breads for kids, so ive been helping myself to that its not good and xmas is only around the corner and its the 1st of nov!! thought i would have sorted myself out by now!

Riallybigbangandflash · 02/11/2008 10:15

did he say what diet he did or did he just cut back?

I am and frustrated because I have lost nothing. It's raining so we aren't having our planned day out I've been waiting for all week.
I have to start my OU course this week too and am stressed by the thoughts of it and the run-up to christmas and all it's related stresses, and then trying to find time for diet and exercise.
Aargh.

jaz236 · 02/11/2008 13:50

Rially hun you need to be positive sweet 0- treat each day as the new fresh day - thats what im trying to do myself - read this - but dont think u want to be eating pickles onions and raw herring - me thinks theyve made that up!

Success hadn?t helped TV funnyman Johnny Vegas to lose weight. Until now, that is? After a crash diet consisting of nothing but pickled onions and raw herring, Johnny revealed his new shape at a charity swimwear exhibition in London on Monday. ?I couldn?t have done it without the help of my celebrity friends,? said Johnny

RGPargy · 02/11/2008 20:47

Hi ladies

Welcome Geordie and congrats on the pg!! how many weeks are you? is it your first? how exciting!

Pink - yes please! Shame i never saw the message where you offered them - i would have grabbed them in a flash haha! If you want to email me, my addy is ravegirl @ blueyonder.co.uk or rgpargy @ yahoo.com. Thank you so much in advance!

Jonny Vegas has lost LOADS of weight hasn't he! he looks so much younger for it too! Surely he must be our inspiration?!

I joined the gym on Friday and now I'm really looking forward to my fitness assessment on Thursday to find out how bad i really am. I'm now at that stage where i'm not quite small enough to fit into normal shops' clothes (i.e. Next). I did buy some trousers in Next on Thursday tho. Sorry if you've heard all this before!!

Ria - dont beat yourself up too much. Be positive! If you are down on yourself then you'll just keep telling yourself that you cant do it. Weight loss is mind over matter too you know!

Riallybigbangandflash · 02/11/2008 21:45

funny thing happened today (not really funny mind) I haven't been taking my tabs with the man flu, but shared a tray of chips with the boys in Whitby and by the time we got home (40mins - 1 hour) my tummy was "odd". Which is actually quite a normal reaction for me to fatty foods (and what I was expecting from the tabs)

Am happy I went to Whitby. I yearn for a purple velvet clothing

Riallybigbangandflash · 02/11/2008 21:45

sorry if I forgot to say congrats on PG geordie.

bran · 03/11/2008 07:23

RG, do you work anywhere near C Wharf? I have a load of 20/22 clothes that I was about to give to charity. They are mostly very casual though, and cut to fit an apple shape (you're an hourglass IIRC).

bran · 03/11/2008 07:27

Can I just also say that I went to two children's Halloween parties in the last 3 days and I didn't eat anything at either of them, except the bits of cupcake that DS dropped down the front of his t-shirt to save the hosts sofa from cupcake damage. The second party was in a hall so I just let the crumbs drop.

jaz236 · 03/11/2008 09:27

ok ladies its day one of the diet and im going to be really good - gmtv are doing the lbd diet, so im going to be good and follow that aswell - so wish me luck and hope we all can at aleast loose a stone by xmaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaas x

HIya Bran, hows everything going (with baby) any news??

Jaz..what the f* is an LBD..ah...actually as im typing..it has now dawned on me it prob means little black dress????..d'oh!..did you get your cereal in?..ive had special K this morn, will have fruit (grapes/banana/melon etc) for lunch and something nice for tea tonight?..maybe chicken in pasta?

Just been and bought some hair straightening creme as when hairdresser did my hair last week (yes im skanky and i havent washed it since..but my hair REALLY REALLY never gets greasy! and doesnt smell nor look dirty, so its still gorgous and straight even though its now tied up!) i decided i REALLY prefere it straight, it make me look younger and after years of being very overweight and not really bothering with my self and how i look, this past week i have had loads more confidence as i feel my age and not a frump!..today is all about cleaning up!, so tomooorw morning after school run and before i start work again, im going to have a go at it myself, will fire up the branding iron and scorch it straight LOL(its very naturally curly and since i lost a lot of it, its not as thick so go's frizzy quickly!)
So feeling good today, noticing my shape changing every few days and now my eternity ring and watch are very very lose so will need to ahve them made smaller/links taken out...but dp laghs at me cos i (jokingly ) say im oging to go into shop and say "can you make these SMALLER for me please as theyre now far TOO BIG since ive lost all this weight"!! LOL..i know its not a huge amount in comparrison, but never ever done it before so its all new and exciting for me..feel free to ignore and roll eyes LOL

Bye for now.x
