Yes I know what you mean. I'm losing weight so we can start ttc in August. There is a 'waiting to ttc past2' in conception that Bebe and myself are on. Feel free to join us.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/02/2010 10:47

guess i could orgasm over a banana

giggles

i do like fruit but begrudge losing 1.5 points on a banana, when i can have a packet of crisps

i have found BNS frozen and chopped in waitroise

fab for a 0point snack,to make soup etc

i love bns but hated having to peel,deseed and chop

Poohbearsmom · 11/02/2010 10:51

Thank you kayz thats very nice of you i would love to join ye (before i bore everyone here )

Poohbearsmom · 11/02/2010 11:17

Lol blondes shall hide all fruit from jodie and blondes from now on

bebejones · 11/02/2010 11:52

I've definately missed something, what is/are BNS?

PBM - def come join us on the waiting to TTC thread! We love to share our broodiness!

I do like a nice banana but also begrudge the amount of calories it is when I could have 2 caramel snack-a-jacks for the same! (well 1 & half) Melon is v low in calories though & I usually have a bowl of melon or pineapple in fridge for a quick sweet pick me up! Which reminds me I need to chop up said melon!

DH wants to have a pizza as a valentines treat on Sunday, but it's the day before weigh day & I'm not keen! Might suggest have a belated valentines and having pizza on Monday night. Next week will be tough as off to my mums on Thurs & got a school reunion meal out on Sat. Might browse the menu online & be prepared!

bebejones · 11/02/2010 11:54

Just seen ad for John Travolta's new film! He looks so different & a little bit phwoar! Just thought I'd share!

Kayzr · 11/02/2010 14:01

PBM here is the link for the ttc thread.

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/02/2010 15:33

BEBE bns is butternut squash - o points on ww, very yummy

GettinTrimmer · 11/02/2010 16:04

Jodie at the cafe con leche and the rest! I love coffee. Glad you had a good time. Was the weather good enough to sunbathe?

Kayzr going by jeans sizes, I was a size 10 when 91/2 stone (age 18!) size 12, biggest at 101/2 stone, size 14 at 11 stone, still a 14 ish in jeans, just can't get the waist done up, but a 16 is too big everywhere else. I suppose it would also depend on height and build, I am average height and medium build.

Blondes I found the Body Combat bit of Claire's DVD a little complicated, but can't miss it because of the geezers sans shirts Maybe it's just because I am familiar with the routines, but I found it more difficult than Body Combat.

I am not doing brilliantly with the food this week, but at least getting exercise which I am hoping will result in some sort of loss on Monday, even if only 0.5lb. Where's this week gone? Not long till Monday now!

Blondeshavemorefun · 11/02/2010 17:44

TRIMMER really? my friend thought it was as well, but makes perfect sense to me, and coach tells you what to do

i have been a bit of a piggy

went for friends leaving do at lunchtime, in a pub

ate chicken on a bed of leeks+bacon in cream sauce, mashed pots and carrots, and then rhubarb crumble and custard

now off to the gym to try and work it off - its weigh day for me tomorrow

somehow i think i will be gaining

Poohbearsmom · 11/02/2010 19:40

mmmmmm blondes girl dat sounded goooood get flushin it out now, i prescribe 2lrs of water b4 bed & spend da rest of da night weeing hourly

bebejones · 11/02/2010 19:49

BNS - that makes perfect sense. Tesco do prepared wedges saw them today! Might have to get some for soup!

Blondes - that sounds SO yummy! Fingers crossed the damage limitation at the gym works!

Kayzr - I'm 5'5"(nearly) I was about a size 10 at 9 1/2 stone. I would like to be a 12 or small 14. My boobs are too big and I look stupid any smaller than that!

Had a yummy bowl of covent garden winter veg soup (bought a load in as half price in Tesco) was very nice, but I think I need something else to eat as am feeling v hungry!

GettinTrimmer · 11/02/2010 19:53

Ooooh....rhubard crumble and custard

Good luck for weigh in tomorrow Blondes, I am sure it won't be as bad as you think because of the exercise. How many times do you exercise per week?

PBM I wish we could wee it away, by drinking wine.

GettinTrimmer · 11/02/2010 19:56

Bebe I've just finished off a carton of that, very filling as a starter. I'd like to be the same, small 14. I've just spotted a little black dress hanging up in my wardrobe from Next, small 14, not worn it for about 6 years.

mrswill · 11/02/2010 21:43

Hi all,

Weighed today and have lost a pound taking me down to 9stone 12lb, so its coming off slow, but am enjoying the low carb diet so I dont mind. What Im even more chuffed about is that according to boots weighing scales, Ive lost over 4lb of body fat. Ive been exercising like mad lately though and doing a lot of weights.

i went to the gym and worked really hard and sweated tons!!

I also had sexercise with dh - so double the workout this evening- if that doesnt make me lose weight tomorrow then nothing will

Poohbearsmom · 11/02/2010 23:05

Bebe i hope da hunt was wonderfully low cal why dont ya weigh n on sun morn this wk so then ya can enjoy ur valentines treat wit dh? Blondes goodluck tomorrow

mummymels · 12/02/2010 00:47

Hi everyone

Sorry I've not been on for a couple of days. Life hectic as usual and DS was vomiting today. Lovely!

Looks like I have missed loads and not got time to read back through it all unfortunately so just had a quick look through. Everyone are doing so well, its so motivating.

That is very interesting to hear that La Senza are doing bigger bras now, I will have to have a look. I normally go to Debenhams because they do bigger sizes that are actually quite nice too but La Senza sounds even better!

On the weight issue in pregnancy, funnily enough I am my slimmest when I?m pregnant but that seems a bit of a drastic way to diet, lol! It just all goes wrong when I eat rubbish again after having the babies!

Poohbearsmum ? Hope you feel better soon. Did you get the buggy back?

Bebe ? how did the swine flu jab go? I?ve had a letter from the docs to make an appointment for my 2 and I must get around to it.

Piste ? have a great holiday.

MABS ? That new drug sounds awful. Can you refuse it if you know its not going to work. Your poor DS, and you. You are going through so much and I am thinking of you.

Jodie ? lol on the fruit, that sounds heaven!

Kayzr · 12/02/2010 06:49

Morning,

Forgive me for I have sinned. I had a twix at work yesterday. It was lovely but very naughty.

Blondes, good luck for today!!

bebejones · 12/02/2010 08:23

Morning all!

Kayzr - I wouldn't worry about the twix too much, I'm sure it can't have done too much damage! I forgive you!

PBM - had a yoghurt & bowl of cheerios, but still well within cal limit for the day so not too bad!

mels - DD seemed fine when she had the jab, but a few hours later developed a horrid wheezy chesty cough. It's keeping her awake not sure it's related just waiting for GP to ring back. Hoping it's not jab related & just coincidence! She has had a runny nose since Nov when she got a bad cold, but we had thought it's now down to her teething. Must be coincidence (fingers crossed) everyone else I know has had no problems with their DC having it! Sorry that was really rambling!

Was hoping to take DD swimming today, but now with the cough I'm not so sure. She seems fine in herself though which is why it's so odd!

bebejones · 12/02/2010 09:16

GP seems to think it's a coincidence! So this means she has another cold, she has been 'ill' pretty much constantly since November! I think we are keeping Kleenex in business, getting through a box of tissues every 2-3days!!

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/02/2010 10:42

mummymels - hope dc better soon
kayzr - you are forgiven - you have to have a treat every now and again
bebe from what i have heard thats a normal recation, bit like whn your dc gets a slight rash a few days after having mmr

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/02/2010 10:47

i LOST 1 LB

very happy with that,esp as i did have rhubarb crumble+custard yesterday - which def wasnt low fat!!

as i said many posts ago, i am normally a 1lb a week girl - more would be nice, its a bit disheartening when everyone else lose 2/3lbs every week, but hey ho

2lbs to go and will have lost a stone, but i still dont think i look any thinner and as PBM said no one has commented that i look thinner/better

Hi all not been on for a while work and all. but has not done me much good. Have had a terrible week eating all the wrong stuff and havent been on the wii for more than two weeks. i need to get some motivation again.

glad you are all doing so well though. not looking forward to monday and its my bday on sunday so its not going to be pretty i am sure.

hope you all have a lovely weekend though.

Blondeshavemorefun · 12/02/2010 11:07

oh a valentines baby - happy birthday for sunday, enjoy the day then start afresh on monday

or weigh sunday morning and then enjoy, and that gives you a week to get off sundays food
