Treasa good luck today at WI
Ha all this talk about porridge! I thought I be smart and as I was supper hungry this morning, make it in the microwave while jiggling a crying baby on my hip! ruined two bowls of it
so back to the old way in a pot managed to burn the pot as well! oh well but it was worth it! made it with water and normally I add milk and I didn't bother with milk this morning and had it with just a bit or maple syrup and strawberries
yummy
does any one use a pedometer thing to count your steps, how many do you aim for! I surprised my self using one this morning Ive clocked up 10,000 this morning alone , had to ring the doc over baby arm his BCG is horrible it burst pus every were and hole in his arm looks worse than it is though! they had a cancellation and I had 22 minutes to get kids dressed and walk the 15 minute walk to doctor! I made it to the surgery in 10 minutes pushing a double buggy and its a 1km walk not bad for me prob crap really
I felt fine after it though! even the receptionist said I was very quick!
have a new DVD for Zumba going to give that a go!
Lainy Im so going to try the MAGGI thing! sounds yummy!
aww hope your little baby is ok
my little man is 6 months old and its only now that the mark from the BCG looks ok. 0 -
They do look so sore my daughter got hers in september when was two, she was born in Australia and never got it there, but hers looked horrible and she was well able to tell me it hurt but it stayed dry never burst like my poor little baby it looks hughe on his arm as its so tiny still he is only 11 weeks. it does mean the injection worked though so thats good I guess!aww hope your little baby is ok my little man is 6 months old and its only now that the mark from the BCG looks ok.0 -

Just had a nice filling lunch of Fennel & Cauliflower soup, three salt & vinegar Rice Cakes & 35g of Tesco Extra Light Soft Cheese
Was delish, although the Tesco variety of cheese is not as tasty as the Philadelphia, but what can I expect, it only cost about 80c 
Have a bran muffin with me for the 3pm slump 0 -

i think it is cause it starts you off slow and builds you up to the 'big event' I am gonna give it a go and am starting tonite, it gives me a goal to work towards which will motivate me to get up on the old treadmill!!!
Pity ladys mini marathon is on so soon otherwise would be aiming for that! Need to get a good sports bra before even attempting it though looking forward to it though powerwalking is getting boring
I find porridge wit lots of honey is only way to go0 -

Hey guys, having Stew for dinner tonight and no idea how to point it. Its steak pieces, oxtail soup and lots of veg.. Say a medium portion? Any ideas?
Thanks
are you making it your self, you'll have to point the individual ingredients. Check the little booklets you get at meetings, I'm say steak is probably listed in for foods part.0 -

Had Tuna Steaks again for dinner last night They are so nice and so filling! 125g only 4pp :D And it looked a lot bigger than that because they are so thick!
Beans on Toast tonight because I have to go to the gym at 7pm and my sister will not be happy if I puke on her - lol :P This is my only exercise day of the week because I have an exam in Shannon (of all places) on Sat morning at 8am, so Study mania this week:( 0 -

Morning all, weigh in coming up tomorrow morning, had a pretty crappy weekend food wise and went over my weeklies by about 10 points I reckon. I just found it so tough eating out all the time. There seems to be so few options available that can keep you within your points. Anyway just having a whinge. Have been back on track the last two days so will hopefully be able to limit the damage. Going away for the long weekend so will not have as much control over my food I'd like but will do my best. Feeling a bit negative this week for the first time since I started, don't know how to snap out of it 0

Need to find more time in my day for Boards!hehe! Doubt my boss would agree thoughhey all,
so odd thing happened last night, i got out of bed to go loo and when i got to bedroom door everything blacked out, then i fainted and fell to floor. fine now, nothing hurt but i'm confused on cause.
Hope you're ok corasam....I know you didn't have that much to drink but alcohol does cause your blood sugars to drop.
I know coz my dad is a diabetic and has had hypos after a few drinks if he doesn't eat something before he goes to bed.
Must have been scary for you tho. Might be no harm getting a MOT from your GP just to be on the safe side.Lady Lainy wrote: »So tomorrow is 1st of June! Perfect chance for us ALL to put the right step forward! I'm hoping to lose 5-6 lbs by the end of june. (hopefully more) but i think 5 or 6 lbs is reasonable, doable, HEALTHY weight loss with diet and excercise and less tv...i've noticed since i'm not watching as much tv...i'm not snacking as much!
On that note...off to do a aerobics dvd. just gotta finisha a few emails and tend to my farm (farmville addict)
I had the same goal for May, but it didn't work out for me, again! But I went for a bit of a stroll with the OH last night and felt the better for it. He just saunters along sooooo slowly, but I figured that any exercise was better than none at all.
So I'm going to try harder for June...no more evening treats and more exercise!Isn't that the worst boobs just disappear while my belly stays and no idea how to lose that belly weight
My belly and waist has definately shrunk and some bras are a lot more comfortable now. But the single most frustating thing for me is my thighs...I bought new trousers in Dorothy Perkins on Sat. But the size 18 waist is big on me...even with a belt, but it only fits nicely in the thighs!
Have definitely noticed a big difference in my calfs tho...my boots zip the whole way up my calf now without much pressure.
But even tho I haven't lost any weight in the last four weeks, I've had loads of compliments from people so I'm thinking my shape is changing.
Well that's my tuppance worth! WI tomorrow and I'm dreading it.
It's back to work for me deadlines looming and I've so much to do! :eek:0 -

Wow - trying to catch up on this thread now. I haven't been on in a while and it'a full time job just reading all the posts!
Anyway, I've had a disastrous weekend in terms of WW. I enjoyed the weekend but I was in various people's houses for 3 days so I had no (or very little) control over what I was eating. Anyway, if I'm very lucky I'll get away with a STS at my WI tonight.
On a brighter note, I was at a family event on Sunday and saw a lot of family I haven't seen in a long time. My sister (who was there too) has always been a size 8/10 and always looks fantastic. Anyway, 2 people (yes 2!) thought I was her!!! Now, before you get carried away, I'm a size 14 but I was a size 20/22 so I look very different to how I used to look. If they thought I was my sister, they must have thought my sister had put on a lot of weight (ha ha!) but when they realised it was me they were full of compliments. It was great - loads of people were commenting on my weight loss so I felt great.
So I'll be going to my WI tonight and then it's back on the wagon - big time! I'm 1lb from having 3 stone off so I want to get there asap!
Good luck to everyone for a great week.
P.s - Flamelily - your "fudgegate" comment made me laugh out loud! 0 -

It's lovely to read about all your compliments. No wonder you were feeling great - you deserve to, you're doing brilliantly. Hope you get to the 3 stone off soon.0 -

Jewellery looser is something I'm not happy about. I have some beautiful, expensive rings that are getting quite lose on me now. They keep spinning around on my finger - it's very annoying :mad: It's the only thing about WW that I'm not happy about - weird huh?On a brighter note, I was at a family event on Sunday and saw a lot of family I haven't seen in a long time.

Yeah i am the same about the jewelry thing! My Pandora has all genuine charms on it and is worth over 600 euro and it is swinging off my arm! I have to be so careful with it. I think i will get the smaller chain though and transfer the charms onto it! That and my shoe size shrinking 2 sizes are the downsides to loosing 6 stone!! I have loads of cool shoes and they are too big.... And you think there are no downsides!!! 0 -

well the fact they are looser means you ARE losing in general, less bloated, losing water, inches.
your body might just be too used to what you eating, jazz it up a little, more protein in the breakfast maybe, add a boiled egg to your breakfast, boil it up and deshell it the night before and keep it in the fridge :P that way you cant say...ah i dont have time this morning...0 -
