Thanks girls....I do feel a lot better now, been to Curves and worked hard. I even had a bit of a sore head before I went but it's gone too...I'm thinking it might have been hormonal. Planning to make some free soup later so that will ward off any munchies...it's definately soup weather!!!

glad your feeling better cb i top up on the sugar free jelly tubs when i have the hormonal munchies, i have just had a toffee yogurt and a satuma

Just back from weigh in....lost 6.5

Well done Paula

Hi Dianne

Happy New Year.

Hows things with you ??

Hi everyone, still here, just not been up to posting. Having a pep perfect day so far, still got sore head though!

I was going to go for another session at Curves tonight, but if still got headache I am going to give it a miss and go tomorrow if it clears.

Fantastic Paula......go girl!!

Afternoon all

Hope you are all having a good friday. I am having a day off work today as I have already worked all my hours for this week.

So far so good for me this week however the big test- the twins birthday party Have saved about 30cx though so hopefully will be ok.

Anyways best go tidy up before I go pick them up from school.

So far so good for me too Flick...enjoy your day off. I'm keeping myself for a chinese tonight sans alcohol.

great paula bet ur well chuffed xx

Evening All

Enjoy the weekend Flick, you have saved well. Hope the girls have a great party.

Mmmmmmm chinese, Paula, what you having? Think I might fancy a chinese tomorrow - Always "Takeaway Saturday" in our house.

Not feeling great today, woke up feeling fluey and had a horrible sore throat so had a wee lemsip and perked up. Went to the gym and completed my 4th work out this week so job done! Just waiting on dinner cooking now.

Plan tomorrow is that I'm weighing in - so fingers crossed girlies, then I'm taking my nephew to the gym, good start to my 3rd week. After that we are dropping wee man at my mums and taking nephew to cinema to see Bedtime Stories, silly kids film but looks like good fun.

Good luck for those weighing in over the weekend xxx

Oops - having a bit of a munchies attack - guess what must be looming - I'll need to make some jelly and fruit up for the weekend and plan a few check free meals
Have a good night each of you - whatever you are doing (I'll not go through the posts above)
Off now to check my email - maybe update my stitching blog and maybe sort out some fabric for a birthday block - night at home with the dog - DH off on another
Have fun

Evening all sorry not been about been in Edinburgh all day shopping, the traffic is horrendous took me hours to get back home. Usually only takes about half an hour.

when we came home hubby made tea of mince, mashhed potatoes and sprouts just finished and it was delish. Has to be one of my favourites.

going to chil out tonight and read my book and play about on here . Thats after i have taxied my son about for the evening.

Ethne i have the munchies too as i am hormonal too

Flick hope the party goes well and the kids have a great day

Miss Broxi hope you feel better soon

Away to have a cuppa now as daughter has finished the dishes

Catch up later

Morning All

Wee Man up early today so I have weighed in already......please to report a 4lb loss this week

Gym this morning, cinema later and a take away for tea - fabby day planned.

Have the strangest cold - its only bad at night and first thing in the morning, so just about to have a lemsip and try and shake it off for the day.

Hope any weekend weigh in we have go great and you all have a good Saturday xxxx

Morning all
Waiting for DH to get up then I think we are off to Castle Douglas for a wander - hope to pick up some nice wool to make a present for someone this year
Well the disaster of last night is behind me - I think it will be mushroom stagnoff for dinner tonight - so a trip in to the Co whilst in CD
Dread to think how many checks I'm over - ahh well new day today
What are the rest of you up to - sorry Flick - I hope you day surrounded by exicted wee ones passes without a hitch - in other words that you survive it
Have a good day each of you

Good morning everyone, how are we all?

I'm up, raring to go to Curves, headache has finally shifted, ended up taking an Imigran and 2 Syndol and going to bed - I knew it would either cure me or kill me

Hope you feel better Miss Broxi, but a huge well done for the 4lbs off - brilliant!!

I sts this week, but I think I'm hormonal, hopefully will get a good loss next week.

Have a great Saturday, speak to you all soon......xxx

Morning all

Fantastic loss MB

Enjoy CD Ethne...I can't wait for my holidays

Enjoy your Saturday gals

CB...sts is fine honey, you'll get a brill loss next week my friend

Morning all

Well done Miss Broxi with your fab loss. CB a STS is ok and much better than a gain. I am sure you will get a loss next week just stick with it.

Enjoy your day Ethne and just put the wee blip behind you.

I have been up since 6am making top hats for the party, showered the 3 of them, been to the shops to get fresh rolls, next move is to drop kids at activities then nip round and sort out the part venue, banners, balloons etc.

Then pick kids up, up the road,get some lunch for them, a change and then off to the party for 2 hours of mayhem and madness. Just as well I have decided not to drink anymore or a bottle of vodka may have been consumed to help relax tonight.

Hopefully things will go ok for me foodwise. I am going to have a cuppa soup and ham roll for lunch so hopefully that and maybe a few wee sausage rolls will see me through. Fingers crossed xxxxxx

Catch you all later, have a good saturday.

Laura xxx

I have had the munchies all day, gradually running out of food to eat lol

Mind you I do have a big pot of carrott and coriander soup in slow cooker

Paula you and I are in the same boat
Well done on the loss MsB - those who STS will no doubt have a loss next week
Had a lovely time in CD - thanks for the well wishes - bought 6 balls of Rowan yarn from sales bin - £1 each (normal price £3-95) going to do a lacy scarf / wrap as a present with it
Didn't have breakfast this morning as expected we'd eat out - I was right - had a bowl of celery and pear soup followed by a wee apple pie and cream (I made sure I had the smaller portions)
Got mushrooms etc for dinner tonight - maybe with a bit of chicken or some rice - so 6 check meal - or if I can manage just a salad time and hormones will tell
enjoy the rest of today

HI all

Survived the party, just!!!! Managed not to eat too much 7 wee sausage rolls and 3 hop hats (20cx) well I guess it's not great but better than what I would normally consume.

Hope you have all had a good day.

Weigh in for me tomorrow but don't feel to confident eventhough I have been good.

Catch you all later.
Laura xxxx

Good luck at WI tomorrow Flick, you saved well so hopefully the scales will be kind. Good luck everyone WI tomorrow.

Celery and pear soup sounds lovely Littlefire, was it as nice as it sounds?

Quite tired today, hoping for and early night and a long lie - not asking for much eh ??????

xxx

Oh Ms B the soup was delicious
Laura - you did well yesterday - was it a good day? Did the twins enjoy the party?
Didn't manage a check free meal but had a homemade curry with 1/2 a pitta bread - 8 checks (no rice)
Hoping to get to the gym this morning - DH up now - and it opens at 10.30
Then a relaxing afternoon sewing
Hope you all have you have a lovely Sunday

Morning all

Weigh in this morning and I STS

I am a bit disapointed as foodwise I have been really good, however, I think it's time I tried to reduce the amount of fizzy juice I drink. I am back on about 4-6 cans of Dt Coke a day. So this week I am going to try 1 a day. So please watch and comment on my charts this week, especially my drinks column this week I will be filling it in.

Anyways it's the twins birthday today and beleive me Moya and Eve are very excited. They have been very lucky girls and got lots of lovely pressies.

Maybe going to Frankie and Bennys for tea tonight as a wee surprise treat (just as well it's my day off) but promise I won't go mad foodwise.

Catch up later.
Laura xxxx

afternoon all how are we today, it is wet and miserable here and just come in from doing the shopping just in time before it started pouring down.

Going to have chops, mashed potatoe, sprouts for dinner today

Laura well done on stay the same and it will be off next week, keep your chin up as your doing great Im glad the party went well and the twins enjoyed themselves.I know what you mean about consuming too much of one thing i have found myself eating a lot of bread/rolls so i am going to try and reduce it

Ethne im glad you had a agood day yesterday and picked up some wool at bargain price , makes it even better then .

going to chill out today with a book and a film and footie later to follow

Hope everyone has a great day, catch up later

Afternoon All

Dont be too down about your STS Flick, you saved well and did what you could - imagine if you hadn't saved at all. You did well! I hope you enjoy your dinner out today.

Well I got my long lie today, Russ got up with Mack and I stayed in bed until 10.30, bliss. Made a big pot of lentil soup today, roast beef for dinner so looking forward to that.

Hope you are enjoying your new wool Ethne, I keep thinking about that soup - and what the recipe might have been, and if it could be done PeP friendly.....was a creamy soup?

Miserable here too, just been doing bits and pieces about the house, nothing exciting.

Good luck at WI tomorrow peeps xxx

i know how u feel i was so good last week and then got such a disappointment last tues but i,ve been good again this week didn,t eat biccies or choccies lol sowe,ll see how tues wi goes have great wk xx

Looks like it's the week for sts Flick, here's to a great loss next week for you, CC and myself, stick with it!!

I wasn't totally pep perfect yesterday, although I did try my best. Went to the Fort and resisted Pizza Hut, O'Brians, chip shop, Nandos, Frankie and Benny's - instead I went into Boots and bought a shapers meal deal. It was once I got home the devil took over, but never mind, its done now, I will make up for it this week. I am hoping the extra session at Curves balances it out.

Hope you've all had a great weekend.....xxx

Good evening all
Sorry haven't been on last few nights have I have been happy night shift, last one tonight yipee
Only good thing about night shift is that once you have eaten all your food there is nowhere to buy more!!
Well done MB what a fab 2nd week wl bet your chuffed
CC CBx and flick I'm sure there will be justice on the scales next week, hang in there and stick with it.
Just think how much slimmer we will all be come summer if we just keep plodding along
I just keep thinking about my hols and how I want to look, this along with you guys keeps me motivated.
Hope you all have a good night.
