Hello again,

Jaci - I did let in tho ... she ended up is my bed wrapped around my neck like a scarf! Not a good sleep ...

No plans for tonight - just huge amount of housework. Iain is arriving on Friday night and he thinks I cope really well working full time and having Erin and keeping a nice tidy house - OH HOW WRONG A MAN CAN BE!!! Going to do that as soon as I get in so I can maybe be finished by 8am tomorrow morning when the fun just starts all over again! They don't call me Cinder-jen-ella for nothing!

xx

I just wanted to pop in past and say that you thread is great! Very supportive and motivational!!

MB...wow!! Well done on your FANTASTIC loss so far...what an inspiration!

Keep going ladies xx

Awww thanks Northernstar thats really nice of you and great to see you to pop in and say hello.

Jen - chin up lovely, hugs here when you need them

Plan is going well so far, Mack in bed, lunch in hand and Ugly Betty on Sky+ - bliss

Hi all, just sneaking on quickly to let you all know I am still pepping away. I am now getting weighed weekly at Curves and pleased to say I have lost 3lbs this week. After a long struggle of sts and losing inches only the scales are finally moving again.

Hope you mum,s get a better sleep tonight How many are going to the meeting in South Queensferry be nice meeting everyone Jenny hope you are getting on ok with your housework great exercise lol just away to fill in eats chart
Meg xx

Afternoon all and not a bad day here today had a pep perfect day yesterday and on track so far today

Jaci - Sorry i wont be able to make the meet on the 7th as i have child protection training and

Meg - Well done on having a good day, its a great feeling isn't it

CB - Well done on the loss thats brilliant

away to fill in charts and do some work , catch up later

Afternoon Musketeers

STS which I am happy with as long as I don't carry all my bad eating to next weeks WI, fingers crossed

Was trying on my clothes for cruise the other day, had to put two dresses in to get altered at the bust, I have lost inches in the one place I don't need to lose them, typical

Stay warm and dry and have a good rest of Thursday

Afternoon all,

Having one of those days! Just getting much lunch now -glad I've got No-check soup or I'd be off in search of something naughty because I'm so hungry

Well done Audrey!!

The mystery of the scales is sorted. I store them under the bed as out of sight=no sneaky peaks but discovered last night the bed base has snapped when you lay down it hits the scales and constantly turns them on and off What a numpty!

Right of to see if my soup has 'pinged'

Be good everyone! xx

Evening All

Lol Elle - loving the scales, one new battery later and new hidey hole did you manage to weigh in?

Audrey/CB - well done girls, good results.

Busy busy day at work for me came home with a thumping sore head but its starting to lift now Going to Attack at 6.30 and then home to make nann bread pizza for tea - mmmmm. Looking forward to BL tonight to see who the pairs are - sad eh?

Friday tomorrow - yay!

xx

Oh dear quiet here tonight.......not long back from Attack, good news was that I never felt my knee hurting at all. Fingers crossed its on the mend.

Came home to clear up sick though , Mack is back to refusing to go to bed and screamed so much he made himself sick......sigh...its such a tough one. Give in and pander to his whim and end up building a rod for our own back - tough love and let him make himself sick - not a good choice.

Going to bed to watch BL, dont think I'm expecting a full nights sleep

Hope your all well and behaving xx

hi all i.ve taken ages to get on here i,d no broadband just came on as i was going to bed glad to report another great day woo hoo Oh Jaci i hope Mack has a better night and you of course Very quiet everyone mut be having an early night We are away to Aberdeen tomorrow hope we get there ok as theres been a lot of flooding that area I,m taking laptop so will pop on Sleep tight
Lots love
Meg xxxx

Morning Musketeers

Hope Mack is OK now Jaci, and you got some sleep

The sun is shining here Meg, so it might be in Aberdeen too, have a safe journey

Not a lot planned for today, weekly shop once OH has gone to work, and that's about it, very exciting life I lead eh?

Have any of you tried pomegranate seeds? I tried them for the first time this morning, I don't know what I expected them to taste like, but they didn't taste like what I expected if that makes any sense

Have a great Friday

PS Love that Marty has come back in BL

Afternoon all

Sorry I have been neglecting this thread lately, just don't seem to have enough hours in the day just now.
I have been PEPing and have managed3 exercise classes, 1 gym session and 2 nice long walks this week.

I have been watching the thread just not getting round to posting.

Just a flying visit though as I am at work.

As some of you will see I have posted on the main board that I have a daughter who will be offered theswine flu jab in the next couple of weeks because she has asthma. I am looking for opinions as my heart and my head are saying different things.
Any advice or thoughts on it please?

Right best dash, will check back later tonight- PROMISE !!!!!

Laura xxxx

just 1 wee pound off for me this week thats half a stone in 2 weeks

Well done Carol thats great

Hello,

Work has been busy today! Just popping on before hometime.

Jaci I hope Mack settle down eventually and you all got a good nights sleep

I've got batteries (2 just in case lol!) and I'll do WI tomorrow morning as I don't like doing it at night...

We have an exciting evening of a food shop and then a batch cooking session... actually I quite enjoy the cooking bit - it is the ASDA part I hate.

Right, I'm off! Have a lovely evening and I'll be back tomorrow hopefully as router thingie should have arrived but depends if it was couriered or posted

xx

Evening All

Just back from Schwinn, dinner in the oven - where does the day go?

Thanks guys, we did have a much better night last night, I was asleep by 10.30 (after BL of course) and although Mack stirred a couple of times he never woke properly and slept through until 6am so cant complain at that. Seems bed time was better again tonight and no real trauma - Russ reported.

Carol - well done on that 1lb off, its all good.

Elle - have fun with your cooking, great you are so organised and still stimling baout your scales

Flick - nice to see you posting, will be holding you to your promise to be back later too. Tough one with the swine flu dilemma, think if it were me I would probably go ahead and let her have it. I would have confidence in its testing in this day and age and I think the alternative risk of maybe getting swine flu and it going straight to her wee chest may be greater. Russ has asthma and I see the huge difference between him getting normal flu and me for example.

Audrey - I really like pomegranet, on its own or lovely with cous cous and salad - Mmmmm

Right off to update charts before serving dinner, will be about later.

Good luck to those weighing in tomorrow - only 1lb for me to reach an 11 stone loss.

xxx

Off to bed peeps, back tomorrow to report my weigh in.

Night night xxx

Better late than never- I made it back here

Been out to Dundee shopping managed to pick up some books for the kids xmas and a couple of chocolate oranges (thankfully I don't like them) 1 for Moya and 1 for David.

WI tomorrow and as usual I am dreading it. Will report in though regardless of what happens.

Off to bed now.

Laura xxxx

just a quick hello we arrived safely in Aberdeen and weather is ok at moment long may it continue i,ve had a great pep day again we are going for a chinese tomorrow night but i,ve it all counted i,ll pop back in tomorrow
lots love
meg xx

Morning All

Feeling good after a good night sleep , quick weigh in update from me - 1 little pound off so thats me officially 11 stone lighter, cant quite beleive it when I see the number written down

Anyway back to business this week, a 2lb loss next week would see me into the next stone bracket - now that would be exciting!

Nothing exciting planned today, Pump at 10.00 and then food shopping in the afternoon- chinese for tea tonight Mmmmm

Good luck to weighers xx

Hello everyone.

Well done to our losers and hugs to anyone who needs them

Back from holidays. Stayed at a small village called Frosterley in a wee miners cottage. It was really nice. Went to Beamish Open Air Museum - it was fab and i would strongly recommend it if anyone is in that neck of the woods.

Have got to say this month has not been the best for me (for one reason and another!)

However, i have decided to go back to class on Thursday as was tempted to buy a bigger size top and my little girl said "Em mummy that is not your size!". it is so easy to get into bad habits and i am going to stop now.

Ainey

I am a grumpy bunny I STS again this week.

Well done Jaci

Have a good weekend everyone.

Afternoon Musketeers

I'm sure you'll get a result soon Laura, the amount of exercise you are doing should help
Another big WELL DONE Jaci
You too Carol

Have been dropping Christmas hints about the Biggest Loser game for the Wii to the OH, don't know if it's falling on deaf ears or not

Going round to OH's workmates tonight, he is just back from the Philippines and wants to show off his photos, he's providing the drinks and OH and I have to provide the nibbles, fatal drinks AND nibbles help!!!!!!!!

Have a good rest of Saturday

Thats a good thing Audrey if your providing the nibbles then your in control - just make sure its PeP friendly and easy to count - have a nice night xx

A massive well done Miss Broxi
We will be seeing you in Boost soon !!!
That is some achievement. How many more pounds do you need to loss before you are at target?
Would love to see before and after pictures of you??

Lila.

Hi Lila

Thank you, there are some photos in my folder in the image gallaries on here, there are before pictures and some of me when I was at my slimmest before having Mack. I'm probably only about 7lbs from being there again so that would give you and idea.

We haven't taken any pics for ages because our camera broke but hoping to get a replacement before next weekends halloween party. I'll post some if we do.

As for Boots I'm not sor sure, maybe when I actually get to where I want to be. I am saying 29lb to go but I will reasses when I'm there and see what I think.

x

Hi Miss Broxi,

I can't get into see your gallery

Batman

(aka Lila ).

Should work now

Thank you !!

What can I say but wow!!! You really have done well.

And little Mack is just gorgeous

Evening girls
Well really rotten day at work so busy!!!
I have decided to rejoin SS on Tue, but have also decided not to tell anyone including OH so that there is less pressure on me to give a weigh in to friends and relatives each week of course you guys are not included in that so hopefully will post results next week.
Think I really need the class to help me I'm so fed up with myself at the moment. I get up each morning saying right come on you can do this and by dinner time I have failed miserably
Well done on your weight loss Jaci
Laura stick with it you so deserve the scales to be good to you after all your exercise it will happen next week i'm sure.
will catch up soon
Shona x

Laura xxx

Morning All

Thanks Lila, its been a long road but Wow its worth it ;-)

Good luck Shona x

Enjoy pump Laura my friend has just text to say she is not going to step this morning sooooo do I -

a) go to step anyway
go to attack
c) go to the gym

decisions decisons......

going with Russ to get his tattoo at 12.30, then its the usual getting ready for the week ahead.

Hope you made the most of your extra hour - Mack has no concept but made matters worse by getting up at 5am which was technically 4am . Thankfully for me Russ stepped up to the plate and got up with him I got up at 7.45.

xx

Morning Musketeers

Have woken up with sore throat and blocked nose wait and see, OH will end up with "man flu" for our hols will have to try and keep him healthy

Only had 2 vodkas and diet coke, and a handful of peanuts last night, so don't think I did too bad

Not up to much today, have changed the bed, but can't get the sheets out, raining, can't tumble them either, but think I will put them in just to take the dampness out of them then put them up on the pulley, glad I got the builders to put one up in the utility now

Have early starts next week, OH on day shift will be getting up in the dark and getting home in the dark, winter is definitely here I guess

Have a great rest of Sunday

Wow very quiet here today.

Hope you are all behaving.

So far so good for me today. Been to body pump and have been good with the PEP too.

Will check back later to see if anyone has been around.
