★★★★ The Water Babes Thread - Team 9 ★★★★

[Sarette]

I usually post my weight loss for the week on here on a Sunday morning, or PM CJ. The results need to be in by 6pm Sunday to Irene, so CJ needs to know by about 3pm or so? I don't know how the other girls do it, my weigh in day is a Sunday which makes it easier for me

I fancied a choc mint mousse instead of a shake, so I had one, and it was a tad sloppy! But it was very nice and made a change. I don't have them very often. My poor bladder is wondering what's hit it with all this water I am managing to get down me! And I still need to up it a bit to compete with Kel

Going to watch Supernatural in a bit, which I sky+'d last night

The weather forecasts are not looking good for tomorrow, and apparently there will be even more snow at the end of the week

Welcome Emma, I am team leader (but trying to pass it on ) for various reasons, I find it easier if people pm me as then I don't have to trwl the thread. If anyone else fancies the job please post! We are at the hospital all day tomorrow so probably won't be on - its a great team - we won last week!

GO THE BABES!

Hi all,

Just a quick post to ask how you do the mix a mousse and where do you get it from?

I feel really bad today 'cos I have eaten 2 bowls of sugar puffs and 2 crumpets............arrrrrrrrrh why?
So cheesed off with myself now. I think that because I wasn't being 100% initially on the plan 'cos of the situation with me not telling Wayne and him making dinner for me etc I have got used to eating something aswell. Oh God - HELP!!!!
Maybe its cos I was 100% yesterday for the first time cos it is all out in the open now and Wayne is being so supportive only to get up and my scales said I had put on 2lb. I don't know why I ate but I suppose old habbit die hard.
A major kick up thass is required right now.
I will leave out 2 of my portions for the rest of the day to try and make ammends which will still leave me with 1 for lunch and 1 for tea. I am on a late shift today so will be too busy to eat anyway.
I have been working really hard in the gym too. Maybe I weighed a little heavier as a temporary measure due to increasing muscle tissue or something. I must try and not weigh myself every day.
Oh I am so angry with myself now!!!!:cry:

 

[yasmine-samara]

Just had a brain wave I think.

I think it might help me stay on track and I know I am busy with uni, work, kids etc but if you tell me what I need to do I don't mind taking over as team leader for a little while til things settle down for you CJ. I won't be offended if you don't want me to especially as I am new to the team.

What do you all think??

 

[Berryred]

hi YS you still need to have at least 3 packs even if you have cheated otherwise your body will go into starvation and you will retain the weight hun xxx

I forgot to post my weigh in on here lol have pm's team leader then forgot to tell you guys lol!!

Lost 2.5lb today (self weigh not seeing cdc until 9th due to circumstances) so total loss in 5 weeks!!! 21.5lb yippee

 

[Sarette]

Afternoon all! The snow is almost gone! Kids went to school/nursery as usual, phew! I spent the morning cleaning the 3 small fish tanks, then popped to B&Q for some paint and a few tester pots for other rooms. Not been back long, just having half a hot tetra which is 2 hours later than I normally have it! Forgot to have my first shake until 12.30!

The scales are moving again, another lb gone this morning! So so pleased

Well done Emma! Shame you couldn't get to see your CDC though, it's nice to know the official loss isn't it.

Off to collect my daughter in a few mins, need to clean the big fish tank when we get back.

I shall be watching Supersize vs Superskinny this evening, love it! xxx

Hi all,

Still loads of snow here and all the schools are closed, got the van stuck in the snow (heavy transit) so tried to move the car and managed to limp its way down the snowy track and out onto the main road. Got about 30 guests booked in tomorrow for quad biking, don't know if the cars will all make it up the track though, let alone guests going through the snowy woods on 125cc quads YIKES!! CJ if you really want to give up as team-leader then I don't mind helping out or see if Kel wants to do it. Well scales are still going down...hoping for a 4lb loss when I weigh tonight! Just hope we can get the car out tonight to go to CDC's as we only have 1 spare soup between us.

Hi,

Thanks for the advice emma and welcome to the team. Everyone is really supportive and I'm sure you will fit right in.
I have just got back from the gym and I worked sooooo hard. I felt really guilty for cheating so I really went for it so I have hopefully undone the damage now. I feel exhausted but energised at the same time!!
I have certainly learned my lesson cos I felt sick after having all that sugar. Will fit two more gym sessions in by thurs so hoping for at least 7lb this week after my rocky start. Will just have to wait and see.

I didn't go into placement today, I went to see my personal tutor in uni and arranged some time off the course. I have been feeling really down and depressed lately and I have arranged to see a councellor at uni. Just having a hard time dealing with things that happened a while ago and need some help putting things into perspective so I can move on with my life and embrace the happiness I have now. I thankfully have 2 gorgeous, happy, healthy girls, an amazing partner, my own home, I am training for a new career etc but I am just so miserable within myself. My 8 year marriage was a joke cos my now ex hubby turned out to be gay and I had a horrendous relationship with my father who just used me for his own selfish ends who now wishes me a slow, painful, lingering death and I have done absolutely nothing to deserve any of it ( so I'm told).
I treat others like I would like to be treated my self and I am told that I am the most caring, thoughtful and compassionate person that anyone could hope to meet yet I can't see it in myself. I can't figure out that if I am all this what people say I am then why have I been treated this way by the people who were supposed to have loved me. I just feel that everything that mean't so much to me was all based on lies and I feel lost.
I have this anger inside of me and its eating away at my soul and I have to sort it now before it takes a hold of me and then I won't be able to help myself or get on with the rest of my life.
Oh.......that was a bit deep and I only skimmed the surface.
I have my apt for thurs so fingers crossed I will try and find some answers and be able to put the past to bed and live for the future and find the real, slimmer me hiding in here somewhere!!!

Well had a 3lbs loss this week which makes total loss of 21lbs (1 and a half stone) in just 4 weeks. Can now fit into a pair of Jeans I haven't worn for years and they fit me better than they did then! Where is everyone?????

 

[yasmine-samara]

Good morning,

The snow has all gone by me now thank God cos it had all turned to ice. I love the nice crisp snow but the ice is awful and you constantly worry about slipping on it or skidding your car. We are supposed to be getting more tomorrow so they say.

I hope that your quad biking guests manage to get there and that you don't lose your bookings!!

I woke up and decided to treat today as my first day on the plan and to put all of my energy into positive thoughts. I am going to be off uni for several weeks whilst I sort myself out and this would usually be the time when i would struggle diet wise but I need to keep my mind occupied and myself busy. At least I will be able to go to the gym everyday and if I feel shattered after with only having the small amount of calories that CD allows, I know I can go to bed for a bit and feel refreshed when I get up. I used to love knitting and Wayne's sister will be having a baby at the begining of June so I might dig out my needles and do a few cardi's for her. I find it really relaxing and thats something I haven't been able to do properly for a long time - Relax!!!

So guys, what are your plans for today then?

Kelly, you asked me about Florida and I never got round to answering you so.......
I have never been to the USA before but Wayne has been years ago to several different places. We are staying in our own villa with its own private pool which will be great in the Kissimee area so it will only be a short journey from the Disney area. The girls are so excited and anytime they get any "penny's'' off somebody they go and put it straight into their money boxes and say "that for Disney mummy" how cute. They will be 3 & 5 in June and any time they see the Disney logo or an ad on TV they get soooooo excited and say "were going there soon aren't we". I can wait to see their little faces light up. It has been a struggle to save and pay for it in this current climate but we did it thank God!

Did you have any fav places or anywhere that you recommend we go?

Well done you!!!
I bet you feel fantastic don't ya?
Maybe I frightened them all away with my post yesterday.....lol! and they didn't know how to take it or what to say !?!?!

I was just trying to help you understand a little of what I am going through right now. I must sound like a right looney but I'm not at all really, just had a lot to deal with all at once thats all!!

Anyway.......
what do you mean by half a hot tetra?
Do you have a chocolate one and add hot water so it is like having a hot choc?
I love the choc tetra, especially when it has been in the frezzer for an hour before I have it cos it goes really thick and yummy. I have only ever tried the cappucino shake hot and I wasn't that keen to be honest. I think maybe cos it was the lactose free one but to me it had a bit of a funny taste!

 

[Berryred]

Popping in whislt printing some stuff off for the kiddies (shhhhh) lol

I always have my shakes hot!! I only like the chocolate and choc mint (and soups) just add hot water and have like hot chocolate lovely!!

well done on 3lb loss tracey!! going great well done

right better go ttfn xxx

 

[Sarette]

Well done Tracey!!!

Yep, half a hot tetra = half a tetra topped up with hot water, like a hot chocolate! Then I have the other half as a hot chocolate too a bit later, which fills me up more and tastes yummy

Today is the start of my 2nd month! wow! I'm another lb down and dead on 15 stone now.. I can hear the 14's calling my name...! (I can also faintly hear the 13's, 12's and 11's, but they are very quiet ).

No kids here again, so nice and quiet. Have done the dishwasher, now off to stick some washing on. The sun is shining, and making me want to get out in the garden and tidy my tubs and baskets. Have decided I am going to buy some long planters and grow some strawberries this year Roll on summer!

No wonder we won this week

Just saw your nails posts, the picture you posted of your nails looked very nice! I love long nails but broke one a month ago, then 2 more, so filed them all down to match. They are finally starting to get long again! Time to dig out the nail varnishes soon

I'm in such a weird mood today. Diet wise I am fine. Just can't be bothered to do anything and it's a real effort getting up of the sofa. I wish hubby would go upstairs to work, I can't be bothered to even talk to him!

Time for more water I think.

[yasmine-samara]

Hi Kel,

Thanks for understanding, your a real gem!!
My facebook id is Lindsay Oliver and I am on the Manchester network. I don't know how to do a link as I'm not that technical...lol!

We're going to get the tickets next week I think. I'm so excited!!

I had half a hot tetra before and it was really nice. Don't know why I didn't think of it before. I think trying the cappucino one hot may have put me off.

Just woke up actually, I must have nodded off on the couch for a couple of hours. Going to make some soup for my lunch now. I think I will have spicey tomato. Only had 1 pint of water so far so I better get gluggling. Speak to you later!!
