General Chit Chat!

Good morning everyone,

what a horrible day - took my pup out for a walk this morning - got all my waterproof layers on and off we went - but woosey Lucy lasted about 5 mins than bolted for home lol - so no doubt she will be expecting a walk in a bit.

This is the one day i dont have any uni so am going to sit n study - got 2 exams in 5 weeks time and lots of investigations to do in between that so still not getting to the gym as much as I want to - but priorities eh? (the house is a total disaster too but am choosing to ignore that lol)

That's not good having a day off, and the day being so horrid.
Perfect weather for a lazy day (forget about the house, I do!)

My bedroom is a total disaster. I decorated weeks ago and still havent got round to putting the pictures etc back up - Im such a lazy so and so !

Hello, hope you are all ok. Not feeling great myself at mo so if I don't post much the next day or so its not cos I've disappeared but just cos I'm not feeling very well! xxxx

Aw 4angels - hope you feel better soon xxx

aw hope you feel better soon 4angels, try and get a bit of rest now the kids are back in school .

I'm super busy at the moment with my toy site, trying to keep up with everything thats happening before Christmas.

How is everybody today !

Been waiting for a bulk delivery of Slim Fast all week from Boots. I know the weather hasn't been great anyway but it's annoying waiting in for someone not being able to get out.

Also trudged down to the local post office in the pouring rain yesterday to post some xmas parcels, but it was closed due to a stick up. Which is quite scary as its only 2 mins walk away from my house. So now i've got to get to town to send them but cant because waiting for delivery.

So i'm slightly annoyed and bored of being indoors.

Diets not going to badly though so thats good!

Hey! Hope everyone is ok.

Has your Slimfast arrived SB? That Post Office business would scare the hell out of me too!!

Still not feeling 100% but trying to potter around today, as I am preparing myself for looking after the kids this weekend, plus hubby is on a course next week so I need to build up stamina for organising everyone during the week!

Sadly not lost much weight despite not eating much...guess I must have gone into starvation mode or something!!!

hi 4angels,
glad to hear your feeling a bit better. My mums having them both again tonight, so it's T-minius 6 hours till I breathe a huge sigh of relief and bundle them out the door
It's good because Jacob has started turning on the waterworks if she tries to leave him behind, so she get's guilted into having both of them.

My slimfast did eventually turn up yesterday, the guy says "did you buy boots out or something?" becuase it came in 4 very heavy boxes. It's only going to last 1 month too, so i'm going to need more soon.

Annoyed that i'm going to have to send my new sofa back after only 2 months because it's failing apart. the leather is just coming of it in pieces. Hoping to get a refund as I don't trust them anymore after the state it's got in.

anyway, i'll stop moaning now!
Get better 4angels!!

Thanks for the get well wishes! Hope you have a nice child-free weekend SB!

xxxx

hey 4Angels - sorry you aren't having the best time at the moment - hope you manage through the weekend - i know what you mean about the stamina to pull you through - we are stronger that we think - got total faith in you

SB - that must be scary knowing that went on so close to you. good luck with the slimfast supplies.

Thanks Irnbru! Hope things are going well for you. you must be incredibly busy...good job you are a good juggler hun!!!! (looked for a juggling smiley but couldn't find a good one!!)

Hope you feeling better 4angels, SB hope you had a good weekend and Irnbru - yet again you make me tired just thinking about what you do !!!

Hey Stella! Hope you are ok hun!!

How's everyone feeling today!!

I'm gutted to be totally honest, I know it's my bad because I weigh every single morning Still can't stop myself, i've been the exact same weight even down to the .2 for about 10 days!! Whats up with that?

Hey everyone - sorry I havent been about much - busy at work and looking after IP.

SB - your body is probably adjusting to the new diet - Im sure the weight will be dropping off soon !!

Hey Stella & SB!! Hope you are both well today!

Stella, you don't need to apologise hun, hope Igglepiggle is ok! xx

Starbuck, I'm sure it is just your body adjusting and it will kick start again soon! Do you think if you had a day off from the slimfast and ate say cereal & fruit, sandwich & sensible evening meal that it might just shock your body into action. I don't think it would be lots more calories but maybe just a couple of hundred extra might stop the starvation mode. I know only too well that it is really hard when you get yourself in the right mindset with slimfast that you don't want to start eating 'normally' again as it feels like a slippery slope sometimes, but it might be worth a try for one day perhaps?....and you are as bad as me with weighing every day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I still do it though!!!!!! xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

I'm fine thanks 4angels - Igglepiggle is getting there - its slow going but he is getting better.

SB - 4angels idea is a good one - just try it for one day and see what happens .............. anythings worth a try.

Good luck!!

thanks girls,
I am doing slim fast but have been a bit disheaterned by the weigh this week, so havn't been as strict with myself as I had been, bit of snacking throughout the week. So maybe that will help.
Taken advantage of the boots points offer this week and ordered another bulk load of slim fast to last me until we go on holiday. Looks like i'll be doing all the christmas shopping with boots points this year

Helloooo!!

Hopefully a bit of snacking might actually have helped you this week then Starbuck.

Glad Igglepiggle is getting there Stella, hang in there hun!

I don't seem to want to eat which is an odd situation to be in!! It's like I have too much self-control at the moment!!! Admittedly I am not losing that much weight as my body must think 'what the hell?!!!' and is now in starvation mode. I feel hungry but everything seems to be wrong!! I had a problem with my stomach the other week where it kept going into spasm for no reason every 10-30 minutes (got some tabs to sort it out), and now pretty much anything seems a no go area for me as it's either spicy, acidic or sickly! I'm sure it will sort itself out soon as I am 99 % better than I was last week, but I kid of hope the self-control lasts as long as the weight starts to budge!

hiya, sorry i've not been around, work, life etc got in the way haha doesn't it always??
how's everyone doing? i'm still going to the gym and swimming, managed to get down to 9 stone/59kgs so doing fairly well, will have to reset targets, whats that other site called where you put your daily food and exercise info in, it's got a woman lying on her front eating an apple i think??

hope everyone is ok

thanks angels! i know i can't believe it myself either!

Hey Kate - sounds like you are doing great - well done on your loss I have not posted as much as i would like - I am still trying to get up to speed with the uni workload on top of getting a puppy - the time i used to carve out for the gym is now spent dog walking - so it's not coming off as quick.

Hope your resolve is still in place 4A,

Stella sorry to hear about IP - hope things improve there - still rocks that you are still lurved up

SB - remember you have had a couple of really big losses the last couple of weeks - its not good to sustain that much all the time - it will have to settle down - try not to get disheartened - keep plugging away, it will move again .

I am up to my neck in uni stuff so have had to abandon the gym at the moment - simply not enough hours in the day - but I have 2 exams at the beginning of december and 2 resarch investigations - as soon as they are out the way i will get back to it- so at the mo I am more or less maintaining

Hey Irnbru!
Hope your exams and research goe well hun!!
Hubby is mega stressed with his Uni work at the mo so I can kind of sympathise with you (I know how time consuming my course work was as well!!) I'm sure you are super-organised though and will manage just fine!! I keep having to organise hubby by finding 'windows' in the day/evening for him to study as he feels a bit overwhelmed by it all I think and torn between too many commitments. He only has about 6months to go now though and its all over....well unless he does the Masters next year........

Unfortunately my resolve is not quite as strong as it was but then I wasn't losing weight eating so little anyway!!! I'm trying to be good but not a total angel (pardon the pun )

Hope everyone else is ok today.

Stella aka Cinderella have you found your dress yet for the ball?!
