hey all. I am having technical issues at the moment so not able to be around much. Just wanted you all to know that I'm thinking of you x

not much loss for the last couple of weeks but met my goal, yay!

I agree, the cost is much higher for healthy stuff where I live. Farmers markets are considered to be more for trendy yuppy types so tend to attract a premium. General markets are better but are almost always on a weekday so no good if you work full time and not near one! I try to grow my own through the summer. Decent…

Welcome Bronzelady and anyone else who is new. Redhead - there is another thread for pregnant ladies on here to offer support with weight while pregnant. Sadly I've never had cause to look at it myself but I know lots of people from here head there when they get pregnant. I'm certain they will have loads of really good…

You sound really motivated and you've definitely come to the right place to stay that way! I always start to lose weight and then go back to bad old ways after a few months and put back more than I lost. This time I'm learning good new ways and doing so much better. All the best for your new you!

Happy new month guys!

a penguin is driving down the road in his car when it breaks down. Luckily he's right next to a garage so he asks the mechanic to take a look. The mechanic asks him to come back in around an hour so the penguin decides to get some lunch. Now what penguins like for lunch is fish fingers dipped in vanilla ice cream so the…

Thanks for the tips, I was going to buy online but now I think I'll go and try some on. Cheers guys!

Slightly misread your post there but it got me thinking...................do carbs give you bread flu? :tongue:

She loves cuddles actually, she'll tuck her head right under your chin and purr like mad. I'll get her to send you some virtual cuddles *g*

these are great thanks!

So, so happy for you both!! Will be sending lots of positive thoughts (and to everyone still waiting for their BFP of course) You guys give me hope xx

I'm pretty sure Luki is on holiday

Hugs to you Carine, I really hope things improve for you. We'll still be here when you get back and if you feel like you do want to talk then I'm certain you will find non-judgemental, confidential support here. Sometimes you need to let it out (and sometimes you don't and that's fine too). Welcome new people. Jalara, I'm…

Definitely many congratulations on your loss so far, that's great! I have every sympathy on your love of curly wurlys, they are the best. I really would try and limit the sweet things to once a day though (not fruit though in my opinion, I haven't found limiting that made a huge difference and I think the benefits outweigh…

I was running some training this morning and the people they'd booked the room from had huge bowls full of kit kats, jaffa cakes, tiffin cakes, shortbread and just about anything else. Now usually I can avoid these things no problem but for some reason the fact that they were free sent my brain into overdrive and I had to…

Cheesecake sounds good, do you think it would travel well?

Hi guys, Sorry I've been absent, I've not been all that well. Also had AF for the second time in a month - a bit unexpected after years without anything at all but I guess that's the way it's going to be for a while now. I completely understand the whole 'when are you having kids' thing from friends and family, I haven't…

Sorry, I was late this week (posted yesterday). I've not been well and just didn't get my act together. I only lost a pound too, despite all my hard work and I've not been able to exercise much this week either so I think that the next weigh in won't be so good for me wither - sorry guys.

Not sure if this applies to all of the US but one that caused trouble when an American friend came to dinner at my mum's house 'Quite good' US = very good UK = just ok, not that good really

I'm now seeing spoons in a whole new light! Actually I have issues with forks. There are a couple of forks at home that I just can't use. Not really sure why, but the feel of them makes me gag. I can't eat with a fork if the tines 'look funny' or if it is too wide. All other cutlery is ok (although I have distinct…

Welcome new people, hope you enjoy your stay here! Johanna, I will be thinking of your neice, I hope the news isn't as bad as feared. Jalara, glad WW is working for you. I know lots of people that have done well on it. One of my colleagues knows the points value of pretty much everything without ever looking! She has never…

Wow guys, you're all doing great! Slytherin rocks

Three pounds down this week. Yay! Nika, are you like Abby from ncis? So cool

What is jello salad? I don't think we have that in the uk

I can't eat anything I deem to be 'slimy' or 'furry' which includes mushrooms (slimy), mashed potato (furry) and banana (furry outside and slimy middle, double wrong) I can't stand onion except onion rings (no idea why) - but only if the onion inside isn't big enough to become 'slimy' I don't really like any dry food so…

Intros is a nice idea! I have not long re-read all the HP series, I really enjoyed reading all the way through from the start. In real life I am a mental health advisor working for the NHS (UK). I also run training courses on topics like assertiveness, depression and anxiety. I spend my free non-exercise based time reading…

Hi all, not checked in for a while so apologies for anything I've missed. Welcome to all the new faces, sorry you all seem to be having such tough times, I really hope that it all starts to pick up for you from here. Karen, your post really rang bells for me. I think I was aware that was what I was doing but hadn't really…

1.5 pounds down this week. Would have been more but had an over indulgent weekend. Back on track next week!

Sorry about this month Luki but excellent work on the NSV. Good luck again for tomorrow Karen, hope you get a sitter! AFM a bit of an NSV too I guess. I have been really good about increasing my exercise this week, even got up at 5am yesterday to swim which is amazing for me. Also had a weigh and measure this morning and…
