Meg xx

I am doing okay - just taking the pills and trying to chill - Ha Ha how am I kidding!! Luckily the school is back tomorrow so I will get peace in the morning before getting the tiny tearaway back at lunchtime.

You are all doing soooo well! Keep up the fantastic work peppers and the support here is immense!

Will get back into longer posts soon - promise!!

Morning all, I do believe I feel human again this morning! 48 hours of antibiotics can do wonders . Thank you Shoe.

Ainey glad your Dad was ok post op. It is a worry for you all waiting for news.

Well done Audrey.

I have my pep planner for today and managed to make no check soup last night for today. So hopefully will feel up to starting excercise as well in the next day or two. Chest infections are not good

Good luck for today everyone.

G'morning!
Ainey, that is great news!!

Glad to hear you are feeling better katlyn, chest infections are definitely not fun.

I've got my PEP head on today and my food all planned, just need to add a wee treat in or two and I'm set.

Planning on going to gym at lunch as been v lazy and cold the past two days and just felt like hibernating really!

Have a lovely Friday!! x

Hi everyone. Glad everyone is staying really positive. I'm still on track. I had a "hungry" day on Wednesday - but managed to get through it.

I really wish I could get The Biggest Loser. I've been watching other diet shows such as The Big Fat Diet and Fat Family shows. I was amazed that on the Big Fat Diet show, the girls were weighed after only 4 days and all but one girl had a significant weight loss.

My next weigh in is on Monday night. Fingers crossed for a good result!! My sweet tooth is living on diet jelly at the moment.

We're still snowed in here in the Borders. Our food supplies are now running low and I've no idea if the roads will be cleared before I really need to get to Tescos. You never know, my weight loss might be at a record level next week.

Ainey. I'm glad your dad got through his operation. I hope he has a speedy recovery.

Hey guys, well yesterday was toast madness!! i did resist as much as possible but i certainly went over!!! will update charts....

today is going better, didnt get up to lunch time climbing up the walls to get back to uni and have something todo. so had a tuna mayo sandwich for lunch made with extra light mayo. so thats 16 for that.

gonna have birdseye chargrilled and vege and potatoe for dinner so thats 16 too. which leaves 18 left. think im finaly getting back into the swing of things

Ainey so glad your dad came through the op ok, hope he gets better quickly!!

Jen glad your ok, try and come back more often, we miss you!!

Jaci and Katlyn glad your both feeling better too

My first recorded wi of the year will be tomorrow, so heres hoping its a good one!!

Good luck to all the other saturdays

xxx

Thanks girls for your support It means alot.

I am focusing on each day as it comes. It has not been a good week for worrying etc and i have had a few blow outs on the eating front - but earlier in the week i did make some soup and did some exercise.

Ainey
xx

Afternoon,

I had a weird day yesterday, didn't do much just pottered about really and then all of a sudden it was 10pm and time for bed again. I've no idea where the day went?!?

So busy on here - fab!!!

Ainey I'm glad you dad came through okay - hang in there!

Audrey and Shoe - fab losses!!!

DIY progress has stopped just know until Berto can rebuild the inside of the fireplace tomorrow as the will be lots more lovely black dust and it doesn't bode well for my soon to be cream walls Got everything prepared now and all the surfaces sanded, wiped down and primed so it is just the painting and then the floor to do - I can't wait to have carpet in the living room again!! Laminate looks nice but it is soooo cold!

Laura - are you sure about the DIY - I've remember just how much I hate striping walls this week

Have managed to get some exercise in every night too and Berto and I have been motivating each other so have no chance of sitting on my bum of an evening anymore

I'm got some stew in the slow cooker and have made some no-check soup for the freezer and have done a session on the wii and am going to make up some Active challenges up on the wii for later - so having a productive day so far

Agnes - I can't get biggest looser either but I think sometimes it is repeated on Sky 3 which you can get through freeview depending on your area - might be worth checking that...

Here is to pep perfect day 5! Off to update the charts...

xx

Hello Peeps!

On the Homepage there is an advert for a new plan or something. It is available to online members. I see that most of us are e-support ... what is the main difference in the memberships and Katlyn - is the plan any good?

Afternoon Fellow Musketeers

OH had a day off today, as he starts 12 hour shifts tomorrow, so he took me for the weekly shopping my poor car hasn't moved since Christmas Eve I have been defrosting it every morning though The main road (A96) was OK, in fact, it was quite quiet for 9am in the morning, it's usually full of commuter traffic, but I guess everyone is staying at home. I think we have been quite lucky (if you can call it that) with the snow falls, not nearly as much as "up country" or "out and about" enough to keep me shovelling though

Planning on getting "caught up in the house" whilst OH is working over the weekend, then I can keep quiet on Monday & Tuesday whilst he is "sleeping off" night shift

Have a good rest of Friday

I am doing soooo good today!! bit hungry just now but just had youghurt so hopefully that will fill a gap untill dinner. going to the shop soon to get some extra vege for dinner and a nice treat. i have had my eye on some strawberry tarts from m&s but not had the checks for them untill today.

wish i didnt have to go home tomorrow tho

hope your all doing well
xxx

Evening, how is everyone doing?

Jen enjoy your treat tonight - the tarts sound

Audrey I'm glad the roads aren't too bad near you Be careful though!

My friend has bought me snow boots for Christmas and they arrive today - after living in my wellies and 3 pairs of socks at a time (not comfy or particularly warm) for the last fortnight they are brilliant. Warm, comfy and more importantly grippy. Took the rubbish and recycling down this afternoon and it was the first time I didn't feel in danger of landing on my bum!

Off to start putting dinner together - have stew cottage pie if that makes sense

Have a good evening folks x

Evening everyone,

How has your day been?

So far so good for me today but I really fancy something tasty but I don't know what. PEP/Booster has been good and I have been to Body Pump. Then it was home to do some painting- I painted the cupboard again and then the ceiling and oh boy my arms are feeling the pain.

I see there is quite a few of us weighing in tomorrow- lots of 'Saturdays'

I have just noticed the Biggest Loser is on tonight again- yay I am soo pleased. I am liking the 2 episodes a night.

Right off to get tidied up and play with the kids again for a while- favorites are 'Just Dance' and 'Extreeme Challenge' on the wii.

Will be back later to see how everyone is getting on.
Laura xxx

Good luck for tomorrows weigh-in Laura

I'm also loving the biggest loser being on for 2hrs, the weigh-ins are the best bits!! Just an hour tonight tho, eh???? Hope Joelle goes soon, she has me shouting at the tv

This is just my 2nd day back at PEPping, doing great so far, want a fab loss for this week to keep me motivated x

Good luck with the PEP Shirls you can do this!!!

I know what you mean about Joelle- she is sooooo annoying. Wasn't too surprised about the team that went out last night. I think it was such as shame that one of them didn't really want to be there- What a waste when someone else could have been there instead.

We all can

I know, i'd LOVE to do it (UN-televised ) i'm sure 1000 others would too!! I wasn't surprised either.... Not sure if Tara's playing up to the camera's either, or is she or real???? x

Ainey so glad to hear your dad is on the mend

Good luck to everyone joining me in tomorrows weigh in

Hi folks, had a good day today still have fruit yog and snack 5 checks left! The peppered steak was brilliant followed by jamican bananas they were really good.

Jenny - the plan that is new is a mini booklet motivational to get you back on track. Same pep plan count or no count ideas and a couple of pages of ideas to get you moving and thinking of EDB things. I printed it off it always helps to have ideas.

Shirls - I agree with you not sure about Tara she seems very confident in herself whereas the others you feel you can relate to in some way or another. Mandi is the one that does my head in she is so moany or woe is me!

I havent had my car out since before christmas! We have an old freelander (for the dogs) which has been a godsend I often moan about it being as wet inside as out but it has came into its own now!

Evening All

Wow its nearly bedtime and I'm just sitting down. Glad you have all been busy and by the sounds of it all being good

My cold is starting to take a bit of a hold today - I feel fine but I am really snuffly and sneezy. I cant imagine it will surprise you to hear I'm planning an early night for BL.

Just need to update charts and have a cuppa.

Hope you are all well?

Jen - how you feeling?

Ainey - hows your Dad today?

Laura - well done on another busy day, bet the girls are super excited to get be getting back into their new room.

And BL - wow its all go on that show - I really like Tara actually, I think she is quite genuine. I hope she doesn't prove me to be a bad judge of character

Good luck to all the saturdays tomorrow xx

Good Evening All,

Just a wee visit to check up on everyone!

Jaci - You look after yourself ... no one else will! What is Schwin?

Katlyn - Well done on the saving - I am rubbish at that!

Elle - Oh ... snow boots! I really need these - my wellies leak and my feet are constantly soaking and freezing!

Jenni - You are back on track now stay there and NO MORE TOAST!!

Laura - How did LCW go today? You all finished with the decorating?

Looking forward to having a nice night watching the tv. Hopefully back to normal self tomorrow and maybe get back to some exercise

Good Luck to - Jaci, Laura, Julie, Elle, Leigh, Jenni, Dawn, Nicky and Lesley (collectively known as the Saturdays!).

Evening All

Not been on much this week but have just caught up with everyones postings and they make me smile

I have surprised myself this week and have been really committed to SS. Weighing, counting, dreaming lol

BUT tonight I am having a really hard time........... I want to eat and eat and eat

Only one more sleep until the first weigh in so maybe I should go to bed and sleep away the yearnings lol

Wishing you all the very best - hope we all have good news

Sleep tight

Lesley

Morning Fellow Musketeers

Good luck to "The Saturdays"

More snow here wasn't expecting it, as it was very frosty last night I had to clear round OH's car so he could get to work (he left at 6am) I tried to be as quiet as possible for the neighbours will clear the rest at a more respectable time He got to work okay, said the main road (A96) was quite good, and that it was raining where he is

I have to go back into town this morning bought Mum some Arrowroot biscuits (like rich tea) yesterday, they are out of date November 2009, December I could understand, what with Christmas etc, but NOVEMBER, not acceptable

Hope the snow isn't affecting you too much, stay warm and have a good Saturday

Morning Campers

Well looks like I'm the first "Saturday" reporting for business and its a loss..........not a big loss.....but a loss - 1lb off for me

Starting to really feel your pain Jen with this piddly pound a week, I guess it really does slow down the less you have to lose

I am feeling ok thanks hun, still snuffly and sneezy but otherwise well. Schwinn is basically a spinning class, think its the name of the company. My friend used to come on a Fri and she got scunnered with it so we stopped going and went to the gym instead, but she has fallen by the weigh side a bit in the bad weather so I ventured along myself last night. First in about 6 weeks and fully expected to suffer the whole sore booty thing - but actually it was fine.

Lesley - hope you went to bed and resisted the call of the kitchen Mrs? The night before WI is not the time too indulge lol - good luck.

Good luck on the scales ladies, looking forward to seeing the tracker fill up.

xx

Morning all,

Well done Jaci! 1lbs off is still heading in the right direction and things to definitely slow down the less you have to loose.

I've manage to loose 4lbs this week so I'm quite chuffed!

How have the other Saturday's fared?

Jen get snowboots - wellies just don't compare!! My friend got ours from the Mountain Warehouse and had them delivered direct. They have a sale on just now so def worth having a look

Audrey - 2 months out of date that ridiculous!!

Lesley I hope you didn't crack. Good luck for WI today!

It's brilliant this thread is so busy but its too hard to mention everyone by name...

We'll be starting painting today so I'll not be back on until tomorrow most likely as the computer will be out of my clumbsy reaches as far as paint is concerned!

Have a good day and I'll catch up with everybody tomorrow!

xx

Morning all

Well done Jaci and Elle and good luck to those Saturdays still to weigh in.

A disappointing weigh in for me this morning as I have gained 1.5lbs No idea why as I have worked really hard this week. So it's off the Booster and back on the PEP for me today. I think it might be water then it could be I haven't eaten near enough. Not going to dwell on it though.

Off now to get ready to take the kids to judo.

Will be back later.

Laura xxx

Good Morning Fellow Lighter Peeps

Thanks for all your comments about resisting the 'pacman' act in the kitchen but unfortunately the Ginger Nuts got it last night. Mighty fine biscuits to dunk lol

Anyway, I am delighted with my first weeks loss of 6lbs and am on a better shift at work next week so can plan our meals better and do the gym more.

Good luck to those who still have to weigh in and well done to everyone

Have a good weekend.

Take care

Lesley

Good Saturday everyone!

Well another poxy pound off to be reported. I suppose I will take it and smile as I have been a bit on and off this week.

Jaci - Welcome to my world but this week will bring better things - I feel 1.5lbs off next week

Elle - Sensational loss this week - and good luck with the painting. All that arm movement will do you a great workout!

Audrey - You should hire your services for snow shovelling. All that money could be spent on something really special for all your hard work and big muscles!

Lesley - Did you behave?

Hope to hear from the other Saturdays (Julie, Leigh, Jenni, Dawn, Nicky and Lesley) very soon!

Hope you all have a great day ...

Good morning!!

Miss Broxi, Lesley, Jenny and elle well done on the losses ladies Fab results!

Flick - you will see a loss next week back on the PEP, I do like Booster as well but it tends to make me sts or have small gains also. At least you know you did all the right things this week, nevermind that scale!

Audrey - we got more snow here overnight! You'll be burning lots of calories from clearing all that snow

I took my measurements this am and since June 2009 I've lost 24.5 inches, I am really proud of myself. It will be a PEP weekend for me, have chosen a nice list of meals from the SS books to make this week so I have no excuses.

Good luck to everyone else weighing in today and have a lovely Saturday xx

Hey guys well done on losses so far, REally great results!!


Well i have weighed myself on keenans scales which are analouge according to them im 3lbs lighter, however my own digital scales say 3lbs on but thats fully cloathed and after having something to eat. so will do it tomorrow morning on my normal scales in the morning in my jammys just to double check.

anyhoo just gonna chill out before work.
good luck to thos else who have to wi today

Hello everyone

I weighed myself today and only gained 1/2lb. It is very stressful and worrying at the moment for me but i want some normality in my life. And my dad wouldn't want me stuffing my face.

Well done everyone.

Can I join the Saturdays as well?

Ainey

Well done everyone on the losses! Fantastic start to the new year!

I've had a rubbish couple of days with personal stuff and couldn't eat anything yesterday...still not feeling up to eating much today but I'm hoping to get back to peping over the next couple of days.

Anyways...scales this morning showed a loss of 4.5lbs

I had a facial this morning which was bliss and so relaxing Going to the hospital tonight to visit my granda, he fell the other day..thankfully no broken bones but he is very bruised and also a chest infection

Meg xx

Hey guys just a wuick question as planning meals for next two weeks (untill i get paid) can you freeze risotto??

xx

I would not freeze rice but that is just my opinion ... I am a rubbish cook!! x Well done for planning ahead tho

I would assume you can as WW do a frozen Chicken and Lemon risotto....with rice you just have to make sure it is thoroughly heated before you eat it, make sure its piping hot.

Pleased to say I lost a wee sneaky 1lb this week. Definately getting back into exercising starting on Monday so should have a good weight loss next week.

Jennib - I've frozen rice before and it's been fine and I would think you could freeze risotto but as CBx said - make sure it is thoroughly heated

Well done to the rest of the Saturday weighers on the STS and losses x
