Hi all, Thought I had better pop by. Thanks for all the well done messages - I am thrilled to have got all that weight off and am now determined to get more off next week! This evening has been spent sorting 'policies' for the preschool, so my mind has gone numb with all these strict policies, but this has kept my mind…

Hi all, A quick call in after a bad day! This morning weighed myself and 3lb had come off (official wi on Mon)! I was thrilled. Then it went a bit downwards with Children in need cake stalls, and me feeling like a lazy evening and fish and chip supper. I regret it now, and am determined for a good weekend after tonight!

Good to see you are back to the shred! I have loaned out my shred dvd, so wont be joining you, but I could dust off a Davina at the weekend......watch this space!!!!! x

Heres a couple to keep us going..... ' what you do today can improve your tomorrows' and 'if it doesnt challenge you it doesnt change you'

Hi all, Somehow I managed to 'leave the group' and have re-joined this morning - I must have hit the wrong button, but be assured I am still here! Yesterday was a success and I kept to plan. The problem is whenever I start a new plan, all I can think about is food!!! (even though im not too limited on slimming world).…

Love this new thread.... but am having a mind blank!

Have put the line in above to mark my fresh start. Apologies for not being in for so long. I tend to log in on my phone app, and cant get to the boards so easily, but I am going to make a big effort to get here more often. So after a weekend of work, and a work friend telling me all about her joining slimming world and…

Hi all, Getting moritvated for Monday and have just done a food plan - I wouldnt say it is excessively healthy stuff on it, but hey its a food plan and if it cuts out snacking between meals then it has served its purpose! Am also introducing my fasting on Tuesday and Friday next week. Like the sound of the Christmas…

Hi all, Just a very quick call in, as I have to pick up Daisy in 15mins Some normality has resumed in our household! Daisy is back to school and I have been playing catch up with all my paperwork this morning! Diet is on hold and kick starts next Monday. We are off to Yorkshire Thursday for the weekend, which is sort of a…

Hi all, Thought I had better call in - the reality of summer has hit me tonight. I have been feeling a bit fed up the past few days, and although I have Zumba this evening, am feeling a bit down even tonight and have worked out that it I am down as my eating has been quite bad and motivation low. Basically I need a good…

My oh my, I was feeling bad for not calling in, but see it has been very quiet! We have had a hectic week with the school holidays, meeting up for play dates, picnics, days out, and generally having lots of fun. Today we have had a trip to the drs for Daisys preschool jabs, she was so good at having them and didnt even…

Hi all, Im trying to get geared up for a good week starting tomorrow, so thought I would pop by to be inspired! LMV- sorry to hear about your back, it sounds nasty, and I agree to resting from the running. I hope the swimming challenge helps you on your journey and gives you a focus. I admit it will be pretty cool to think…

Right whilst she is asleep I can pop by. From last posting you will know that Daisy has managed to get HFM, so she has mouth ulcers, and spots not just on her hands and feet but also on her body. She was up most of the night once again with a temperature, but I am struggling to get Calpol into her(as her mouth hurts) - I…

This is the challenge I looked at last year.....take a look at www.aspirechannelswim.co.uk its 22miles in 12 weeks - starts 9th September and you can use your local pool. I haven't had a look into all the ins and outs this year. Cant stop by for too long.......Daisy has caught hand, foot and mouth disease, and is…

That was a busy day LMV!!! and I agree to a little r&r! I Zumba'd away last night in all the heat and sweated buckets, so hopefully has done some good. It says that I burnt over 700cals on MFP, which to me sounds crazy, but I like it :smile: Today, Im not quite sure what to do - I am thinking of doing some exercise tonight…

Aw, I do love reading all these positive posts. It also gives me great satisfaction knowing that we are all helping each other along the way, and all appreciate each others opinions so much. Today, I too am feeling spurred on from reading all the lovely comments. I must take a look at the exercise thread - I tend to call…

Morning all, Thanks for all the well wishes for Daisy - she has now recovered and when we was at the supermarket on Sunday saw the washing tablets and said 'I wont eat these Mummy, they taste yuck' so hopefully a lesson has been learnt! Well done to LMV for your RFL - I am going to sign up next year. I am going to try to…

Hi all, sorry I have been absent from the postings for a few days and a few more days. I have had children dilemmas this week. Thursday, Daisy decided to try to eat a laundry washing tablet and rub it in her eye, so much of the afternoon/evening was spent up A&E. Thankfully, all is ok. She was terribly sick so didnt ingest…

Hi all, A lovely summers evening here, and I have just got in from watering the veggie patch. Today I have picked my first lot of peas and introduced Daisy to the art of pea picking (and eating them all before they reach the kitchen!). I have also picked a lot of broad beans and am going to attempt a broad bean and pea…

Morning all, Just a quick call in! Fasting went to pot a bit yesterday when hubby came home with chips and handed me some after knowing I had had a rubbish day with little one again pushing me to the limit. Am feeling reassured this morning after talking to preschool staff and them telling me its normal! Just been for a…

Hi all, Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Bracken, happy birthday to you!! (Hope you liked my finest voice with that!) The sun is shining, and I am starting again after feeling like I have fallen off the waggon over the weekend. Thanks for all of the birthday wishes - I had a lovely day, but…

Hi MITM - £9 for 500ml is crazy money!!!! I got mine from Lakeland for £7.14 - just had a nosey and it still half price. I would also advise to get some extra jars when you are over too. I like to do this so you can have a couple on the go at the same time(they last 2 weeks in fridge). Each sachet cost around £2.70ish and…

Hello, Well, I think that some of that 5lb may have gone back on over the weekend! We had another trip to the seaside, more fish and chips and ice cream yesterday and I am feeling a little bit guilty today. However I know that tomorrow is a fast day, and a couple of fasts will sort me out! I cooked the Hairy Dieters…

Hi all, 5lb weight loss.....am amazed and keep checking I havent read the scales wrong! Very happy girl, and am thinking that the fasting is finally starting to pay off and working as it should as to be honest my 5 feast days this weekI havent been watching what Im eating as I was, and have the packet with 3 chocolate…

Hi all, Really quick call in for me today, as about to get little one ready for pre-school. Just wanted to report that the scales have moved down again.....cant wait for my WI on Friday now before any of it goes back on! BM - weightgrapher has finally reported that I am on track and losing! Phew! Bracken lovely to hear…

Hi all, BM - I have logged onto the weightgrapher site, and been told that I have fallen behind! Was a bit gutted, but think that more measuring will even this out, and also know that my big 4lb gain threw the graph off balance! . So tomorrow I am getting back to it again, as I have fallen a little off track lately (as i…

Have a big blow out for a couple of days, weigh yourself and scare yourself back to it! Lol! I really struggle - I feel like I either do really good, or really bad and dont hit that in between point, so this is what I normally do, but dont think its right or helpful! x

Hi, ....so challenge is to lose 1/2 stone by 21st July.....Im up for that! I apologise as I have just skimmed over all the posts this evening. I havent been running to plan this last week. Friday I gave blood, and it didnt go too well - my iron was well up, then I had leakages when they shoved in the needle(sorry if anyone…

HI, Carole - well done on the lb! Great stuff, you are doing so well. Was very impressed with the swimming - I always forget to count/start off counting and then forget and lose track! I tend to swim more for a given length of time. LMV- Hope you are having a fab time away! Paloma was fantastic - what a voice! We got stuck…

Just a really quick call in before hubby catches me on here and not doing work! 1lb gain this week (which is better than 3!) and I have been perked up today with a comment from a mum at the pre-school to say I that Im looking great and you can tell Im losing weight! Thrilled! Had my first attempt at Easiyo yoghurt maker,…
