LOL!!!

Happy christmas. I have eaten too much

ChristmasRGPargyCarol · 26/12/2009 22:42

Happy Christmas!! I've also eaten too much!

gloRiaInExcelsisDeo · 28/12/2009 16:24

gah, it's almost time for another meal (for the boys, not me!)

Dsis is already talking of the 1st - no additives, no alcohol, no chocolate

no idea what I'm going to do, can't face the thought of all that obsessive planning and cooking yet... did you decide about SW RG? I am leaning towards Rosemary C again, it seems easier somehow. Am going to buy my own MP3 with my xmas money from MIL and get on with Cto5k again. I got running socks in my stocking[fwink, and loads of sanctuary smellies, so I am OK for luxurious baths to help me on my way!

think I'll eat drink and be merry for a bit longer

ChristmasRGPargyCarol · 28/12/2009 22:28

Still haven't decided on whether to go with SW or just cut out the crap that i eat lol.

I would deffo eat drink and be merry for a tad longer Ria!! Dont even think about the 1st Jan until midnight on 31st December!!

gloRiaInExcelsisDeo · 28/12/2009 23:11

it'll be at least the 2nd here! DH off on the 1st and a day of merriment planned!

am currently hating SW for personal reasons to do with the SW thread! but I have to confess it works if you can keep up the effort. If only the diet industry wasn't so keen on making money...

mummymels · 28/12/2009 23:27

Hi everyone, sorry I haven't had a chance to get on here the last few days. I hope you are all well and had a good christmas. Did you manage to keep to your diets?! I have to admit I strayed a bit but am trying to get back on track again now. I naughtily decided not to weigh myself today and will hopefully have not put too much on by the time I weigh myself again next week.

gloRiaInExcelsisDeo · 29/12/2009 22:53

hi mels. TBH there's not much to say as I haven't even been trying

about covers it, and then some!

done loads of walking today though as we went to Whitby and because I'm too mean to pay for car parking we parked a million miles away from town at the top of the really big hill, we did have chips though (but no fish in crispy batter - that's my plan for NYD, hopefully in Knaresborough - duck racing!)

am not deserting this thread for the other one, it's due to something else entirely.

But hey, it's not the 2nd yet, no need to think about it

mummymels · 31/12/2009 01:51

Hi Ria It's Christmas so you deserve a break but the walking all sounds good. Your plans for NYD sound good.

happynewRia · 31/12/2009 20:58

happy new year guys! hope there's some serious partying going on

mummymels · 31/12/2009 21:43

Happy new year to you too! Aren't I sad coming on the computer on new years eve!!!

RGPargy · 01/01/2010 00:08

Happy New Year ladies!! Here's to a fabulous (and slimmer!) 2010!!

DP and I almost missed the countdown, had it not been for Jools Holland starting it on the TV! Oh what a wild life this ex-raver now leads lol!!!

mummymels · 01/01/2010 16:55

Happy new year to everyone!

Lol RGPargy, I almost missed it too as I dozed off on the couch until DH woke me up when it was midnight!

Here's to a new slimmer us year!

happynewRia · 01/01/2010 22:02

I was fast asleep in bed and didn't even flinch at the fireworks (though my mum said there weren't many). It was the silent snowfall that disturbed me

RGPargy · 01/01/2010 23:42

lol Ria!!!

smallone · 07/01/2010 11:01

Hi all, Happy Christmas and Happy New Year!
Comp not been letting me on for ages, hope everyone has had a good christmas. I got new scales for christmas, which was a bit of a shock as I weigh a stone and a half more than I thought, but at least I know I can weigh accurately now.

14st3 and should be 9st, but I think 10 will be more realistic.

happynewRia · 07/01/2010 17:21

I've not been able to get on other to read the summary either

mummymels · 07/01/2010 21:22

Smallone - what a pain about the scales but as you say, at least they are accurate now.

Ria - am I missing something? What is the summary?

happynewRia · 07/01/2010 23:41

don't dare go near my scales. I feel huge.

maybe summary was a bad word - I have been able to go on threads I'm on/watching and read the bits of the posts shown there, but when I try to get into the threads to read fully/post, the PC has been freezing up.

DS2s birthday tomorrow and party at the weekend, so resceduling for Monday, just hope I don't put too much more on over the weekend.

happynewRia · 08/01/2010 00:07

interesting - that greek yogurt ad says day 10 is the most likely diet day for failure! don't know when I last got past day 3

RGPargy · 09/01/2010 01:30

Hi ladies! Just bookmarking! Am currently trying to eat my way out of the house and through the snow lol. Fed up with it now. It's stopping me doing everything, even my shopping wont get delivered on Monday!! Sake!!

happynewRia · 09/01/2010 13:59

fecking snow! DS1 has had the whole week off school and I really need some space!!!

PinkChick · 09/01/2010 21:16

here you all are LOL....will catch up when i have a bit longer, hope you're all doing well..back on the tabs after putting too much back on, not all, but about a stone..was in over a yr n half, but nonetheless....anywa, joined gym this week, back on monday morning and will get weighed then too..doing wii fit too but steady as it knckerd my back in earlier in year.

going thru the not hungry at all stage with tabs at min, had special k for brekky, chicken sandwhich for lunch and special k again just now, snacked on apples and sugar free cordial, but very opleased theyr working for me again ...have a fab weekend everyone.x

happynewRia · 09/01/2010 22:22

hi Pink. good to see you again.

was wondering about going back to GP for some help, but I think yet again I'll be going back to GP for ADs, so the weight thing will get put on a back-burner from a medical perspective. Why isn't there an AD that would not make me fat?
