    Hello all,

    Just to let you know i wont be around the forum for a little while... purely because i need to focus on my work, and also because i just need some time to get my head straight.. Dont worry im not deserting you all.. i will be on leaving comments here and there but it wont be as frequent as normal!

    I will post a new MAY topic next week to keep this board going!

    Thanks for all your help and support so far.:flowerforyou: .... just need a time out.

    Good luck on the time out!

    Had a picnic today with the glorious weather. Thinking about maybe doing it again tomorrow if the sun is out.

    Managed to keep within my calories though, but i did skip breakfast. well, by skip I mean I woke up at 12pm and got stuff ready and went for picnic by 1:30. so meh.

    My protein is way in the red though according to MFP ... damnit, why is chicken so tasty?

    MORNING!!! :flowerforyou: I'm in a FABBY mood today!! How are you all? Supposed to be lush weather today and tomorrow! Hooray!!!!! :drinker:

    Erika, did you have fun?? I hope you had a great big peice of cake and enjoyed every bit!!! I work on Pall Mall! So very close!!!

    Mimi- I was REALLY craving a cider apple lolly this weekend?!?!?! I haven't had one since I was at school!

    SD, good luck with the next 5 weeks!! I have to think of each week being the last to really push myself!!

    Lady C, GREAT news that your tests came back clear! Try and rest for a bit, you may just need a break- getting run down is the last thing you want!! Try and maximise energy foods in your diet too :flowerforyou:

    KP- Hope you get everything sorted and come back feeling better :heart:

    Kimble- don't worry too much about your protein being over! Those splits are just a guide, they wont suit everyone!

    Hi everyone! I'm new to this thread, and I'd like to introduce myself. I am an American expat, living in West London. I've got a lot of weight to lose, and need all the support I can get.

    I'd love to hear from more of you about your progress, goals and also those days that don't go so well-we all have them.

    I did thank you. Had a lovely pizza, and then warm chocolate cake with vanilla icecream. I also had a glass of wine!! Screw it, it's not like it's every day and I shall be going for a run tonight.

    The weather is glorious. I'm hoping it's going to last as I'm off to a wedding in York on Friday, and am staying over with my sister and my mum till Sunday morning so we're hoping to do some sight seeing etc.

    Enjoy your day everyone!

    Hey all, not been on much recently, having a few issues at the moment, what with one family member being very ill and not looking like they will make it through the week. :frown:

    Plus due to some issues, I've fallen off the wagon a bit and not been going the gym as much. Still, I've climbed back on now and starting to go as from tonight. Also sorted out a weekly football game aswell, so that will add to my exercise, which I'm made up about as I used to play in a team but I've not played for a while.

    Hope everyone is doing okay. :smile: Welcome to all the newbies who have joined the group in my absence and a big hello to all my friends who are still posting regularly. :happy:

    I'm on wind down now till Thursday afternoon as I finish work then and don't go back till next Wednesday so really looking forward to the break off!

    Take care all

    same here - moved to oxfordshire in April 91 - Originally from West Derby

    My girls were 5 & 3 when we moved ,so they are both really southern girls, but they do like the parties and nitelife back in the pool drinker: :drinker:

    Thanks Sparkles, appreciate it. :smile: I'm doing okay, it's my nan i'm worried about. She's already lost a few family recently, she loses another it will hit her very hard. :frown:

    Yeah, did get to the gym, had a great workout and felt a lot better for it. Had Heroes on my iPod so it kept me busy for a couple of hours, otherwise I probably would have only lasted 15 minutes there if I was constantly clock watching.

    Hope you are okay! :heart: I've just seen your Just Giving page, I get paid soon so I'll make sure I chuck some sponsor money your way. :smile:
