Bebe I was just coming to post the same thing!!!! I found some size 14 jeans in the wardrobe and they do up!!!!!! I am amazed and so so pleased with myself. I also have to buy bigger tops due to my boobs. But they are the only part of my body I really love so I'm
not too bothered.

Blondes really sorry to hear about your friends dp. So sad

Hope everyone is well. It's my child free weekend so I will probably end up drinking my points rather than eating them.

Blondeshavemorefun · 14/05/2010 19:21

bebejones · 14/05/2010 20:14

Blondes - Your poor poor friend how awful So sorry for you too (((hugs)))

Kayzr - Still can't quite eblieve that the jeans fit! Not sure my boobs are my favourite bit anymore, gone a bit now I have lost weight!!!!! [blsuh]

JODIEwantsanewname · 16/05/2010 08:43

Guys. I have to apoligise I have been so naughty this week (for the whole week) and have been too embarrassed about posting on here. I vow that I'm jumping back on the wagon again today. I don't think I can bear to wiegh in, I didn't yesterday as DH is away and bythe time I'd sorted me and the boys out it was too late (I like to weigh in the morning before I consume anything and before I get dressed!)

blondes So sad about your friends BF, poor her It's horrible news. But well done on the loss!

Bebe well done on the 14 jeans thats fab news. I bet you feel great. How's your mum and nan? Are you having a nice time? How was your stabbing this week?

Sarah Have a great holiday, I really need on, only 3 weeks to go untl mine, the only thing is I have to take the DS's (and DH!) with me At least all the in-laws will be there to help out!

mels Did you go away in the end? Did you have a good time?

trimmer Good luck with the job. I hope you hear something soon.

laughalot how was your weigh in?

Sorry if I've missed anyone.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/05/2010 09:12

jodie-dont worry - we have all been there

just start again x

Kayzr · 16/05/2010 09:33

Oh my poor head!!! Damn cocktails!!

GettinTrimmer · 16/05/2010 10:44

Morning all

PBM Just doing my application form/s (couple of jobs) and hoping for an interview, everything crossed.

I feel a bit more positive today, but had some wine/cheese and biscuits/chips yesterday

I meant to say earlier went to Dublin for a city break about 10 years ago, stayed in Trinity college. Would love to go back sometime!

Blondes Glad you had a good time yesterday. As for points - I've not been very good at counting mine for the past couple of weeks - 20 is too low and I get light-headed. Are you still on 22 per day?

jodie second what Blondes said, I find after a break I am able to focus more.

Looking back, I can see I've lost almost stone in 3 months and during that time have had several fallings off the wagon.

You will be able to refocus for your hols?

laughalot Same for you! Where are you going in 5 weeks time? IKWYM about jobs especially for Local Government being few and far between . Will you start applying for Classroom Assistant jobs for September.

Kayzr I am not very good at driking these days! What cocktails did you have? Hope you are able to rest it off today.

Right, it's back to it today for me, had boiled egg for breakfast, soup then salad will be for lunch. Good luck for all weighing in tomorrow x

bebejones · 16/05/2010 16:05

Am home!! So relieved! Love my mum, but she does my head in after about a day & a half, even worse when she is ill! So knackered now & feeling rubbish. Got such a sore throat & stuffed up nose

Kayzr - oooh what cocktails you have? I had a sneaky Daquari the other week & was soooo nice! Unfortunately I'm always the driver so never get to properly drink!

Trimmer - well done on sts! You are doing so well, don't lose heart! Good luck with your job applications, fingers crosssed for you!

Jodie - It's the long haul remember, jump back on the wagon! You never know it might kick start your metabolism!

Not really feeling much like eating TBH, just so full of gunk! Really cross with myself, in my haste to leave my mums I left my V shaped pillow behind. I had it for BFing DD but it's a real comfort thing for her now & she sits on it on my lap to have her milk before bed! I always end up leaving something behind but this is the biggest thing yet, am putting it down to feeling Yuk and lack of sleep!

OP posts:
Kayzr · 16/05/2010 17:55

I had strawberry woo woo cocktails. The bar sells big pitchers for £10 so between 4 of us we had 2 of those. But they don't taste like alcohol so they went down very quickly.

laughalot · 16/05/2010 19:31

I put a 1 lb on this week .

Trimmer im not looking until my dd starts school next sep otherwise I need to find childcare. I am however going on the supply list at school where I do my placement and where my kids go so hopefully ill get a bit of something from that. I work thu/ sat in the travel agents so if they need me in the week the chaces are ill be able to help them and they did say if I help them out my dd can stop at nursery all day so that helps me out.

Poohbearsmom · 16/05/2010 20:02

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/05/2010 21:43

TRIMMER good luck with interviews and i was on 22 but as wasnt losing weight, i went down to 20 last week and then lost weight

LAUGHALOT sorry for gain - do you know why, ie were you good/bad etc?

BEBE sorry you left pillow behind and hope you feel better tom

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/05/2010 07:48

Popping in on my phone to say morning to everyone. I have stayed the same and am pleased as we had a busy week of family evening meals and stuff so it's quite reassuring to sts actually.

Will catch up properly later on the proper pooter, but am v interested in you guys looking to do classroom assistant roles...

DH saw the space shuttle go, he said the earth certainly moved for him! LOL

Good luck all

Piste x

Morning all

piste well done on sts.

bebe Same for you on your 1lb!

blondes I seem to be switching between foodfocus/ww/winging it! But eating roughly the same things mostly, low sat fat and cutting back portions, which is ww philosophy,

Have a good day all.

RatherBeOnThePiste · 17/05/2010 14:29

"I need Gok Wan!!"

Although I stayed the same this week, my monumentally happy things was that I tried on some size 12 jeans on Saturday, and not only did they do up, they fit as well! I am absolutely staggered.

So apart from one pair of jeans, plus a pair of navy smart sort of chinos that are ok, I really have nothing to wear, and I don't know what to wear, all my tops are now too big, but I have broad shoulders so they will do. I never really had much in the bazzoomerage department anyway.

I am so deeply happy to have lost so much weight, but am despairing now too ( what a luxury!)

Piste goes off to wallow and look for Gok Wan.

bebejones · 17/05/2010 15:25

Piste - if you find him, can you send him this way too!

I'm in that horrid phase of 'all the clothes I have are too big, but I know I am going to lose more weight' [hopeful emoticon] so don't want to buy too much new stuff! The only bottoms I have that don't fall down are 2 pairs of new jeans & 2 pairs of tracksuit bottoms that I wear at home! Nothing smart at all!! Prob got a couple of skirts lurking in the wardrobe, but can't wear them til it's warmer/ have fake tanned my blue very white legs!

OP posts:
GettinTrimmer · 17/05/2010 16:03

Piste, what a fantastic feeling - size 12!!

I am fed up with my flabby middle, lost 4 inches round my waist, but still a big overhang on my size 12 jeans. I have a really old Trinny and Susannah book if that's any good.

I do have some size 12 clothes from years ago, a Monsoon summer dress size 12 I can do up but shows my lumpy bumpy bits.

Bebe - How's your bra situation? My new ones were really tight around the back, now OK, and I have a feeling I may have gone down a cup size.

Murtette · 17/05/2010 17:30

Hi

I came on this morning but spent so long reading all of your posts from the week that I've been away that I ran out of time to post myself.

I'm glad that lots of you who have been ill/had poorly relative and sympathy to those of you who are still unwell/looking after relatives.

Congrats to all of those who are in new jeans. That must be such a good feeling. Some of you are so close to your target weight now - well done!

I'm down to 12st 12 now. I did weigh in at that a couple of weeks ago but that was after I'd been ill all night so it didn't really count! Its DP's bday in 4 weeks I'd really like to be 12st 6 by then. That would be just over a pound a week which is more than I've done until now but I am actually exercising now so fingers crossed. I think DD is starting to crawl (not quite sure how else she ended up on the other side of the room earlier!) so I'm about to get a lot more exercise running after her!

Well done on all the losses. I've stayed the same which is fine with me as I haven't been good this past week.

bebejones · 17/05/2010 19:58

I am SOOOOOOO full! Have been v v bad & sort of by accident! Managed to burn the dinner quite horrifically (stupid crappy oven/hob) so we ended up with t/a pizza coz we had nothing else in! (Haven't had a chance to shop yet) Had loads of pizza & curly fries!!!

Well done all on sts & losses!

Going to waddle downstairs and roll myself onto the sofa!!!
