Hi All,

Thought I'd check in with you all before I go to get ready to go out. Going to a charity thing in Glenrothes tonight but can't really be bothered as I'm still feeling pretty bad. Throat is absolutely raging now so feeling v sorry for myself Had hair done but even thats not made me feel any better. Well done on your loss L Laura.

Catch up properly later.

Bye for now,

OH started day shift today, 5.30am get ups for next 4 days

Not a lot planned, will take Clyde out for his walk once it gets a bitty lighter, make the 2 cards, tidy up, put washing away, you know, all that "interesting stuff"

Have a good Sunday

Ooooo!! Daughter just texted me, it's snowing going down the A9 brrrrr!! stay warm

Snow already - oh no! Its freezing here. Got heating on and wearing a fleece and I'm still frozen. Almost lost my voice (some may say thats a good thing ). went to charity thing last night but took the car then came back to our local, dumped the car and had a few drinks but nothing bad. Got to bed at 2 then was up again at 7 so really tired. Need to get assignment done today as its due sometime next week and also have to prepare for interview tomorrow. Might have to go for a wee snooze later on though.

Hope everyone has a good Sunday.

Bye for now,

Morning all!

Cannot believe how cold it is! Brrrr!

It has it advantages though as when I ran out of fridge space yesterday I just used the balcony

I've not been perfect over the last few days but a lot better than I'bve managed and so much better than everyone else we had over for dinner. I'd made lasange, salad, foccatcia (sp?) and then a chocolate peanutbutter cheesecake which thought was horrible. I'm not keen on nuts so was perfect for pep

You should have seen me on Friday evening. I decided to make the cheese cake as the recipe said it was better if you made it before and the refridgerated overnight... I've not made a baked one before so it took me a while to put everything together. Then I decided to do the lasange as it is nicer when it sits for a while and the pasta soaks up the sauce. I'd made the ragu part, my white sauce, grated my cheese, layered everything together when I realised the blooming dish was to big for the micro-combi oven It was 10.30 by that point and I could have cried I ended up cooking it in the broken oven but using the grill on a low heat and covered it with loads of tinfoil until it was warm and I needed it to brown. It worked quite well but it could have ended very badly! Really need to get a new cooker, 2.5 years without a proper oven is long enough!!

How has everyone's weekend been?

Audrey sounds like you had a lovely day with your mum. I love going to the garden center near my folks-has gorgeous Christmas stuff but it is so pricey! Well done on avoiding cakes and pudding

Annie I hope you are feeling better and good luck with your assignment!

Laura, hope work calms dwn soon. Must have be lovely to have a chillout day with the kids though

Right off to do the dishes... ooooh, the excitement!

Back later
xx

P.s. 1lb off for me... Not great but at least it off not on!!

Afternoon all

Oohh what a nice weekend I have had- chilling out spending time with the kids, cleaning the house and relaxing. It's the 1st weekend I have had this month so been to watch the kids footie matches and just had a real 'Mumsy' weekend.

Heading off to the shop soon so we can get some stuff to make veg soup, tomato soup & mushroom soup (all no check/no check recipes) that the kids love too and then if we have time we will make some cheesecake for the kids (not for me though)

Hope you have all had a nice weekend- can't believe it's only 5 weeks till Xmas so exciting!!!

Right best go and get my ingredients for my afternoon delights.

Laura x x x

How are you all?

I have had a good weekend, lost 1lb this week which is a miracle since I have eaten crap!! it must be all this walking I am doing!

Morning Fellow Musketeers

Just the 2nd early get-up and I didn't want to crawl out of bed, too cosy

Was looking through some of my SS "stuff" and have been reminded of some of the fantastic things that we can make, so planning on baking some PEP friendly muffins later on

Off to have my porridge, have a good Monday

Morning all,

Audrey, what kind of muffins are you making?

Well I'm now official on a no dairy diet for 2 weeks to see if that help my sinuses and my psoriasis. Winter make both flare up and reducing or cutting out dairy has been suggested a few time but I was alway reluctant to try but I ve had such a miserable time of it over the last few months I'll try pretty much anything now

Well done on the loss Jenni, just be careful that it doesn't catch up with you next week!

Did everyone have a good weekend?

Best go and get on before anyone notices my lack of working

Back later
Xx

Good Morning all how are we today, its a wet miserable cold day here today

I didn't have a great weekend eating wise so its a fresh start for me, today

Elle - well done on the loss, and good luck cutting out dairy, i am meant to cut it out along with bread(IBS) but i can't bring myself to do it

Jenni - well done on the loss, do you want to do an exercise challenge from today,30 mins of any exercise - 5 times a week, can do more if you choose but 30 mins minimum

Audrey - did you make a start on your christmas cards? i am making a start on mine tonight

Annie - are you feeling better today? we just scraped through for 3 points on Sat eh i wonder if our game will go ahead at the weekend with the ref strikes

well away to surf the net and check out card sites but pretend i am doing some work to the boss catch up again later

Afternoon ladies, how are we all doing?

A rather dull day here in Perth but not as cold as it has been.

Was up early this morning as I have my Mums dog so had to take him out for a wee walk before going to Spin at 7am so feeling rather tired now

Just waiting on kids coming home from school then the madness will begin again for a while.

So far so good PEP and exercise wise- although I have no idea what to expect on the scales tomorrow (I never do anymore).

Anyways keep PEPing and I will catch up later.

Laura x x x

Evening all
Just catching up on the posts
my pep has been terrible for about a week now
So back to class to face the music on Wed
constant roller coaster in my head trying to keep on track but finding it so difficult at the moment
catch up later
Shona xx

Hi all cold here as well nice and cosy in house tho i've had another good pep day heres hoping be enough clawed back after sat time will tell away to fill in chart xx

Evening,

Shona don't worry we all have weeks like that

Meg how is the diy going? Did you get your cleaning done at the weekend?

Good luck Laura!

Lorraine good luck with your fresh start!

I need one of them after tonight... Chinese takeaway with prawn crackers not my best choice and it was my suggestion

Back to pep tomorrow, struggling with pep and no dairy as all my usual no or low check treats are out so I'm a bit lost and was really hungry by the time I left work. Think I need to plan better...

Having an early night as I knackered - sweet dreams musketeers!
xx

Jenny I see you lurking!!!

Morning fellow Musketeers

Good luck for your fresh starts Elle and Lorraine and no Lorraine I didn't make a start on my cards and haven't done the 2 I HAVE to make for Friday either
Well done on having a good PEP day Meg

I didn't bake muffins yesterday either no frozen cranberries they are now on the shopping list for Friday
Planning on making SS potato scone pizza for tea, if I can find the recipe

Off up to Grantown for lunch later, with the lovely Suzanne Hwang, she is going to be cooking something Korean, will be very interesting

Have a good Tuesday

Good Morning all and not a bad morning here today. Had a good pep day yesterday and heres to another today

Audrey - I didn't get my cards started either, as i need to put new ink in my printer
have a good day out today and enjoy your lunch

Elle - Glad you enjoyed your chinese, and hope pep is a bit easier for you today re the no dairy

Shona - Good Luck going back to class, its the time of year where a lot of people struggle, just take one day at a time

Meg - Well done on a good pep day, here's to another for me and you today

Better do some work as boss's daughter has called in sick AGAIN -

Evening all

Hope you have had a good day- I am freezing and tired so planning an early night tonight.

Was a bit grumpy after class today as I gained 1lb and I really have no idea why- I am baffled, however just going to put it behind me and move forward and aim for a decent loss next week.

It's been suggested that I really need to mix things up to get this last 6lbs off. Any suggestions welcome?

Right off now to get tidied up and then go pick daughter up from Majorettes.

Might get back on later if I have a chance.

Laura x x x

Hiya,

What a horrible night. Supposed to be -3 here tonight. Still got an annoying cough that I can't get rid of . Had some bother last night as my Mum was rushed into hospital (2nd time this year). I eventually left the hospital at about 1am once she was settled in the ward but I'm absolutely shattered. Went into work at about 10.30 this morning, had a bit of a meltdown in my team leader's office and she sent me straight home. I even had to miss my 2nd interview but hopefully it will be rescheduled. Went into the hospital this afternoon and Mum was looking a wee bit better but she's still hooked up to this horrible oxygen mask thing. She absolutely hates it but it works so hopefully she'll be ok.

TWB - it was a close one on Sat but at least we won By the sounds of things the football will be on next weekend, might be different referees though! Hows your new start going? Well done on the lb off by the way.

Flick - oh no! You'll still make it though

Audrey - cranberry muffins sound good and the potato scone pizza even more so is the recipe in the PEP book?

Shona - good luck for tomorrow

Elle and Meg - how was PEP today?

Right off to have some dinner. Realised earlier that I'd only eaten 4 digestive biscuits and a bit of cheddar all day. Thats probably why I ended up screaming at this girl for being all over the road because she was on her phone

Bye for now,

Annie x

... lurking ... me??? Just having a wee peek at how you were all doing before taking the big leap back into it tomorrow. I am going to try my very best but not give myself a hard time considering all the events I have coming up. BUT if I don't make the effort to be good on days I can be I will have a huge job ahead of me come the new year!

Glad you are all doing so well and keeping at it!

Have I missed wedding photos Elle? If so please direct me to where I can see some! I am a very nosey person!!!

Laura - Mmm - don't be downhearted - you know it will come off - what would you say to me?? I don't want to see you being hard on yourself after all you have achieved in the last few months!!

I decided - in my wisdom (no comments please!) - that I would start walking more so dropped E at Rainbows and set off to get a few wee bits and pieces at Tesco. Walked there and back and arrived at the Rainbow hall frozen to the marrow! Not a good look! I have also persuaded my friend to wrap up warm and go for a long walk with me and have a good chin wag - whats the chances of us walking up to the shop and buying a bottle of wine - back on the couch within 7 mins!!

Its good to be back Musketeers - as they say - There is no place like home!!

Aww Annie! Thats such a shame but well done for being so up beat. Get a bit of food down and then a bath and an early night. It all works wonders.
P.S. for shouting at the stupid woman on the phone ... p.p.s. It wasn't me by the way was it???

hi all pep was good again today went to class but only lost half a pound but all in right direction Elle decorating still going on hopefully be finished tomorrow had to redo the living room long story so will hopefully get back to norm by end of week twb well done to you also i'm finding it really difficult just now so really plodding on Laura sorry to hear you put on a 1lb but i'm sure you will take of and more by next week Annie freezing here as well tonight best place is bed to you and your mum i hope she is feeling better tonight Jenny lovely to se you back here i'm struggling as well just now not really losing but kind of staying same not easy but we are all here for each other Lots love to all Meg xx

Morning fellow Musketeers

Last early get up thank goodness

Had a smashing afternoon with Suzanne Hwang yesterday, also met 2 of her 3 sons and her daughter, a very nice family

Lunch was sooooo tasty, here is what was "on the menu"

seaweed soup, pork pulgogi (spicy pork), pickled mouli (giant radish type thingy), spinach salad, courgette & onion stirfry, aubergine & onion stirfry, potatoes braised in soy sauce, all sprinkled with toasted sesame seeds, dried seasoned laver (wee sheets of seaweed that you put your food in and roll up like a very small wrap) and rice

I tried everything it was all makes me wish there was a Korean restaurant here

My food today won't be as exotic good ol' mince and tatties for tea

Have a good Wednesday

evening all and its freezing here tonight. well i wi this morning at 10.30 and the scales says i lost 2lbs, so do i take this as a loss, i usually wi at 7am but i was later this morning , do you think the reading would have been the same if i wi at 7am

Jenny - good to see you back how has your day been

Annie - Sorry to hear about your mum, i hope she gets better soon remember and take care of yourself whilst looking after everyone else


Meg - Glad you had a good pep day again, and well done on the loss

Audrey - Glad you had a good day with suzanne, and i love mince and tatties

Laura - Keep at it , i know how frustrated you are, but you are doing great and i'm sure you will have a great loss next week

away to have tea then settle down to watch the footie, have a great night everyone

I have man flu

Be back later to catch up properly... I need to eat something as a bowl of coco pops this morning are probably not enough for a whole days eating..

Evening all

Feeling a bit yucky tonight think I am getting a serious dose of the cold Moya been off school and it looks like she has been kind enough to share it with me.

So heading off to bed for an early night and will hopefully feel better in the morning. Having an short day at work as one of the girls has a hospital appointment so plan to finish at 11 and then head to the gym for an hour before picking her up at lunchtime.

Anne- hope you Mum is better soon.

Everyone else keep warm as this winter weather decends upon us and keep PEPing, it's not long now till Xmas and we can have a good few lbs before then.

Night all.

Laura x x x

Hey all,

How are you all?

I am doing ok, struggling but not going over bored...I think all this walking I am doing is helping me stay in check. REALLY need to do some exercise tho!

ok just wanted to check in, its been really quiet at work this week so will catch up properly in a bit.

Welcome Back Jenny!! glad your back!

will be back in a bit I am sure!
xxx

Evening Musketeers!!

Well I am home and in my warm jumpers - homework done so we are about to settle down in the cosy house to catch up on tv that I have been recording for ages - down to about 10% space left and that freaks me out!

How are we all getting on? I am still not being 100% good but that is a vast improvement on how I was behaving before!

Elle - Hope you are feeling a wee bit better and I hope you have eaten more than coco pops today

Jenni - Well done for not going overboard as at this time of year it is hard not to eat to keep warm!!

TWB - Super congratulations on your 2lbs - fancy sharing one with a friend!!??

Mmmm Audrey - I love, love, love Mince and Tatties - hope they lived up to expectations?

Laura - How has the bake off gone today? Any little slips you would like to report??

I think staying the same is as good as I can expect at the moment Meg. If I could just stay the same over the festive period I would be a happy lady and I don't want a massive job after the year to get excess weight off!

Annie - How is your Mum? Keep strong and take comfort from your friends - not food!!

Stephie - Whats happening Lady??

Well - off to sort out a few things so I can totally chill out tonight and I don't mean freeze!!!

Ciao Ladies xxx

Hi all freezing here tonight as well winter well on it's way i've had a nother good pep day got a night out tomorrow night so trying to save a few each day what's everyone else got planned for weekend away to fill in food chart xx

Hi, just a quick visit. Thanks to everyone for your wishes I really appreciate it. My Mum's still really not well still but I think there's a slight improvement from last night. PEP's kind of went by the wayside but I'm watching what I'm doing. Work have been great as well and they postponed my interview until Monday.

Anyway, best go and get some dinner and I still have an assignment to finish for Monday.

Catch up at the weekend.

Bye for now,

Annie x

Hey all,

It is sooooo quiet in work today!! really rather bored! I hate not having stuff todo at work, but the upside is its friday!

not expecting a good loss tomorrow, however I will be happy with a stay the same if possible.

TWB sorry I have only just noticed your challenge, at least half an hour 5 days a weeks sounds dooable, I will start from tomorrow (WI day) - not sure how I missed this post before...have you been doing it? how you been getting on? Well done on your loss too!!

Jenny it freezing here too, so dreading any snow coming this way especially if its anything like last year. but its hard not just eating to stay warm even with heating on my flat still feels cold!!

Anne glad everything is a we bitty better for you now, hope your doing ok


Ok I have 6lbs off so 8lbs to go before christmas eve - with 4 weeks to go I can do this dont you think? as long as I have a minimum of 5lb off and I am in the 14st margin I will be happy

feeling really edgy and emotional just now, probably cos I am tired but feeling quite isolated as none of my friends are able to vist before christmas and i haven't really made any 'out of work' friends other than boyfriends friends (which are fine but not my own) feeling really up and down cos sometimes I am fine and others I feel really lonley!! - its a bit annoying to say the least, I mean dont get me wrong I love hanging out with keenan but I'm not used to it. I am used to seeing him once every couple of weeks then seeing my friends when ever. but now I see him a lot more, which is fine but it feels weird hanging out with him All the time, I mean I havent done anything with a group of people seperate from him in ages!! I know it probably doesnt makes sense but I needed to rant a little!! so feeling a bit better now and will prob feel even better after a good nights sleep but...there it is!


OK thats that then. Sorry for rant but needed to vent somwhere lol!

Hope your all well
Lots of love
Jen xxx

Afternoon all

Still feeling a bit rubbish here- flu has taken hold of the Barnett household and we are all dopped up with tablets, calpol & the smell of vaporub hits you as you come through the door.

I even missed Body Attack this morning as I honestly don't think my body would have coped it with today- will hopefully get back to it tomorrow though.
PEP is ok although with all the baking I did yestarday it's proving a bit of a struggle, but all will be counted. PROMISE!!!!!

Right thats the kids coming in so I will pop back later.

Laura x x x

Evening Peppers!

Had a really bad day at work and it has resulted in a bit of an eat-a-thon - Not Cool!! Back on track tomorrow hopefully!!!

Oh Laura! Hope you feel better soon and well done on avoiding the baking!!!

Jenni - I am hoping that a good nights sleep really helps me tonight as I am feeling a bit low myself - hence the random eating! Head myself as soon as my wee blondie is asleep!

Annie -Glad your mum is a wee bit better and you are getting through all this without taking a leaf out of my book and stuffing your face!!

Busy weekend coming up with Erin going to parties and I am out out out on Saturday night - have an early start on Sunday tho so not too much fun can be had

Have a good night Musketeers!! xx

Morning Musketeers

Feeling a bit better today again but as yestarday the house is stinking of vaporub and I am still on the cold & flu tablets.

It's very cold here in Perth and we have snow on the ground not too much though- kids are hoping for more today, I'm not though.
We went down to the Perth 800 fireworks last night and it seemed very strange watching fireworks whilst the snow came down, was very exciting for the kids.

Off now to get Eve organised as she has a football tournament in Dundee this morning and then I am going to head off to a SS Class.
Can't remember if I have said I am going to do my training to become a CM. The training is next week, today I am going for a bit of a 'behind the scenes' look at class. Sure it will be great fun I am looking forward to it.

Will pop back later.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
Laura x x x

WOW Flick how exciting. You'll make a brilliant class manager.

Morning Musketeers!!

The snow is lying here a wee bit but we are hoping for more!!

Going to try and be a good girl today but Erin has a party and I always end up stealing her party bag ... I know I am a terrible Mum - but I feel I am owe it!!!

Got a bit of a headache today

Hope you all have nice weekends planned xxx

Hi there,

That it brilliant Flick! You'll do great. Thanks again to everyone for your support . My Mum was a wee bit better last night but I think its going to take a while. I'm aiming for her being out of hospital for Christmas. The food situation isn't the best and I'm sometimes not getting my tea til about 9pm and I'm not counting checks but I'm trying to watch what I'm doing.

Sorry for not hanging around will catch up soon.

Bye for now,

Annie xx

Flick you are a great inspiration to me and I'm sure lots of others on here, you will make a fantastic Class Manager! Good luck with it all x

Hey everyone, still feeling a bit down and it doesnt heltp that I now have a cold! so glad there is no snow here yet tho, really couldn't be dealing with it just now!

eating not so great, put on 4lbs this week!! think it will come off quickly tho....I hope anyway. Have started doing my exercise vids.

I dunno whats wrong with me just now. I can never seem to make a definate descision, and everything I want to do getrs over thunk and analysed to death that I find its too complicated and not worth the hassle. its really annoying!!

anyway tidying my flat so hopefully this is the therapy that I need. but we will see!!

Laura you would be a fab class manager, good luck!!

Jen hope your feeling better!

Anne glad your mums a wee bitty better, dont worry about eating just now, it will get there!

OK will pop back later have a good weekend!!

great news flick, i loved the first training day

Hi there,

What a day! I HATE snow! Its a shame cos there's someone trying to move into a house along the street from me and we can hardly get into the street at the moment as the snow is really thick. Mr White doesn't know what to catch first - the snow flakes or all the birds flying about the back garden. Thing is he doesn't get out and the daft cat probably couldn't catch a cold!!!! God only knows how I'm going to get into work tomorrow and I have my postponed interview at 9am. Hopefully after tomorrow I'll be allowed to work from home the rest of the week!

Jenni - thats a shame you put on. You'll lose it again in no time!

Laura - how's the flu situation? Hope you're all feeling better

My Mum seemed a wee bit better again last night but its going to be a slow recovery. Not going in today as my Aunt is up for the weekend and I have an assignment to finish for tomorrow. Can really do without that! And of course I have to do some reading for my interview. Its a technical interview so they can ask me anything about chemistry and manufacturing. Nightmare!

Anyway, off to get this assignment finished!!!!!

Bye for now,

Annie x

WOW!!!! It's been a mental day here in Perth.

Was woke up at 5am by Eve saying it was thundering- thought she was off her trolley as it was snowing heavily at the time. But a few minutes later sure enough a big flash of lightening followed by a loud runble of thunder amidst the snowstorm. I have never heard of the likes before.

Then I was up and on the hunt for wellies- no buses or taxis running so it was down to me to walk and get the family wellies- Tescos none, Factory Shop got for Mum Dad David and Shay, none in Eves size though. So I walked back home had some soup to heat me up, took the kids to my Mums and walked to the town where I got Eve wellies and 3 sledges (1 for each kid) then had to walk back home with it all.

11.2Miles walk.

Kids all off school tomorrow- David is too, bus company already said no buses will run in the am so I will be up to walk to work the long way to meet my friend who doesn't want to walk on her own. So no doubt I will be walking the long way home too.

Cold was much better this morning- however feel rather crap again tonight.

Anyways- I hope you are all safe and PEPing as best you can.

I am off now for a wee shower and bed.

Catch up tomorrow.
Laura x xx

Hi there, what a day, eh! Didn't even attempt to go to work today which is just as well as I got a call to say the factory's closed for at least today! Not sure if I'll even make it down to the hospital tonight. AND its snowing again!!!!!

Well, hope everyone's warm and safe.

Bye for now

Annie x

Good Morning all sorry i have been awol over the weekend, i have been busy making my christmas cards and chilling out watching films

Well unfortunately i am at work today, as i only stay a 10 min walk from it as does the rest of the staff

Laura - I know what you mean re the thunder, oh said to me did you see the lightening there, i thought he had gone bonkers How did your class go ?

Jenni - Well done on getting your dvd started, i fell off the wagon , i have changed my wi day Sun as oh is healthy eating along with me and he wi on a Sun, so it is more competition if we wi on the same day

Annie - Glad your mum is a bit better , how did you get on with assignement ?

Elle - How are you doing ?

I haven't seen Miss Broxi about for a while, is she okay ?

Well i am away to stick the kettle on and fill up my hot water bottle as my feet are freezing, have my baffies on but the aren't very warm

Just uploaded assignment Now have to start the next one. Its 5000 words on Quality Improvement due on the 15th so best get a shift on. Just phoned hospital and nurse said my Mum was doing ok today. Don't think I'll get in tonight.

Hope you're allowed home early, that's the worst bit about living close to work.

Bye for now,

Annie x

Hi all yes i am still here darent say how the pep has been and i cant say we are snowed in we have had hardly any snow but its totally freezing Glad mum is better Annie Laura my sister is going to do training as well for CM i think she is meant to be going to Stirling to do it it will be good getting a look at what happens behind the scenes Hope everyone else is well Stay warm Lots love Meg xx

Morning all

Well I am feeling rotten again today but up and getting organised to go to work and hopfully my SS Class will be on today too- although I am thinking it may not be.

Annie- glad your mum is on the mend, visiting when the weather is like this is really difficult. I know when I had the twins there was a day no-one could get up to see me and my mum saying she felt guilty about it, however safety has to come 1st, which is 100% correct. The nurses will be taking great care of her I am sure.

Oh Megs thats right I am going to the training on Saturday in Stirling- what's your sisters name and I will look out for her and say 'Hello'.

TWB- mental weather my 77 year neighbour said that was the 1st time he had ever experienced the likes!!!

Everyone else I hope you are all staying safe in this aweful weather and PEPing the best you can.

Right I best go get ready for work, not sure if there is any buses today so it may be a 45min walk there again.

Will catch up later.
Laura x x x

Good Morning Muskers!

Ok enough is enough! Erin and I are off school again today so I am making it my aim to get my life in gear today. Weight has creeped up and up to a point where I am getting really uncomfortable again and just feel swollen all the time. So DVD's are coming out and I am going to try and do something every morning when I get up - as I am tired in the evening. My treadmill is gathering dust in the corner of my livingroom at the moment but hope to move it upstairs in the next week or so. The man next door had cancer and was sleeping in the livingroom through my wall so didn't want to make any noise at any time of the day. Sadly he died last week so I am giving his wife some peace but I need to start with the exercise regime sometime. I am also going to get my books out and make some plans for my eating - not that getting loads of shopping in is going to be possible.

OH NO - SNOW IS ON AGAIN
Laura - Hope you take it easy today - you need to kick this flu thing before it takes hold and I know you want to get back to the gym asap but you won't be able to give it 'welly' when you are feeling below par! Here endth the lesson!

Come on Meg - get back on the wagon - or at least c*** a leg up!! And I mean that is a lady-like fashion!

Good luck getting into the hospital tonight Annie but be safe!!! Glad she is getting a bit better!

TWB - I have a hot water bottle with me constantly at the moment! My kettle is on the boil as I type to re-fill it! So ... whats happening with you and Jenni's challenge. Room for one more?

Jenni - You will be able to get these 4lbs off if you keep up the good work with the DVD'd etc. So not easy at this time of year but if you make an effort on 'good' days you will feel better about yourself and not give yourself such a hard time!! Come on Girly - you know we are al here for you!!

Ok - enough of my twaddle - must get on with the new Jenny!! I have 2 nights out the weekend of 10/11 December so that it my aim to be pep perfect until then and see what I can achieve. Do any of you think you can pledge me the same - come on it is only 10 days?!?!?!

Morning all,

Sorry I've been awol but I've felt awful! Think it has been actual flu and not just a cold... achy, shivery, hot, cough, sneezing - not pleasant at all and I've been sooo sleepy! Still feeling really rubbish but better than I was I suppose...

Pep has been non existent but I've not been eating properly - I don't know if I lost of gained on sat as I forgot what day I was on and didn't actually weigh myself

How is everyone else doing?

Laura hope you feel better soon - if you have the same kind of thing as me I sympathise

Meg just take things 1 day at a time

Annie, I'm glad your mum is on the mend and good luck for your next assignment!

Jenni how are you doing? Those 4lbs will soon be back off!

Lorraine - good luck for you fresh start!

Jenny-b, how you doing? I haven't posted wedding pics but I will... what is the best way to up load them do you think?

I'm sure I've missed people and things that are going on but I've not read through all the posts I've missed yet...

Off to make myself a cup of tea as it is freezing!!! And the snow is still coming down Brrrrrr!!!

Back later xx

Opps, Jenny we cross posted...

Good luck on your 'new you' challenge!
