20 somethings

Yeah they are near each other but make sure you don't head to the o2 as excel is on the other side of the river and it will be a long way round to get across from the o2 as far as I know. How exciting though! How is she feeling about it?x
 
She's excited but nervous too. She's afraid she's going to mess up. But as I told her, there's been many times I've messed up, but as long as you keep going, hardly anyone notices.
 
That's the advice my piano teacher gave me. I will watch when Nate is asleep. how exciting though! We have alp been worried about you going awol though. Naughty mandy! Loving the hair too. I hope she does well and really enjoys it. :)

I've just had to carry in solid wood furniture because the silly sods delivered it on the wrong day and the stupid man was on his own, as was his only brain cell.... At least my dad gave me good practice in always having to be the one carrying things backwards over rolls of carpet.
 
Think I'm going to have a Lemsip and a lay down... feeling ugh again.
 
Yay Mandy you're back!!! :) Really pleased you're ok and all is well.

Loving the hair too, very nice! I want to do the same, mine is haf way down my back and I hate having long hair so can't wait to get rid but hairdressers are so expensive so I keep putting it off hence it getting so long!!

Just got back from the Cinema, didn't have breakfast so I had a mini bag a mint aero bubbles and they were yummy, haven't looked up the syns as I won't have any more today and my syns for tomorrow are low enough to take it.

I really should do some serious cleaning and job hunting but I really can't be bothered, I feel so lazy right now
 
Afternoon all! Can I join you? I'm Sian and I'm 27 :) I've been doing SW since May 2010 and I initially lost 5.5 stone, but I put a lot of it back on when I had about a year off plan...oops! :eek: I restarted at the beginning of August this year, and since then I've lost 20.5lb, yay! :D

It'll be great to have lots of people of a similar age for inspiration :) xx
 
Hi Sian,

You're very very welcome to join us, we're a chatty lot and it'll be lovely to get to know you.

Do you go to a group?

You've done it before so I am sure you'll do it again before you know it xx
 
Hi dudette, welcome aboard!

Mandy she is great. I will be sending my luck on audition day. She's very good in the bits that have more umph :)

Hey star lovely what did you go see? I think you'll be fine. I'm on syn free weekend so will be hifi-ing my hebs!

Came down from putting Nate to bed and there was a robin in the kitchen... Which then flew around landing on various places, then went back in the hall and up the stairs. Crazy bird. It is out now. One day weird things will stop happening
 
I went to see the new and final Twilight film, I am not a big fan of the films but I really enjoyed the books so I kind of went to see it as I'd seen the others. It was ok but once is enough for me and, like the other twilight films, I'll not be buying the blu ray.

Fran you know you'll never have odd things stop happening to you :) The syn free weekend worked really well last week so hope it does the trick this one too.

I have decided that for every job I apply for I can come back on here to see if anyone is around
 
Ladies...I need a good talking to; I've lost the bloody plot!! Since Thursday I've had chips and sausage from the chippy, numerous BICCYS, a slice of tiger bread with proper lurpac, half a takeaway curry and some rice...and sausages crumpets and a chocolate muffin this morning!!!

I don't know what's wrong with me, I REALLY don't want to gain back what I've lost, and I don't want to start eating rubbish again, I've just been like a woman possessed!! I think I'm going to get ready to go spend a few hours in the gym and the pool, to try and eat myself going in the right direction again! I am a fool!! I've been on the diet for 3 months and never had a gain and now I feel like I'm chucking it all away like an idiot!!

I've been full of cold and stressed with work, but it's just no excuse! I need some help?? Anyone think there's any way I can manage an STS by weds night!!? Xxxx

Ok. First of all- stop beating yourself up! Whether we admit it or not, EVERYONE slips up for a day, a weekend, week or even longer. It happens once in a blue moon and I imagine it's out of your system now- hence how you are posting here.
That line is drawn, climb back on the wagon and start a fresh from today- you can't change what's happened. Make some meal plans, stick to them and try and eat plenty of SF :)





***Drools at the mention of tiger bread and butter**
 
Yeah, to be honest it is the one who hangs round the carp pond, he comes in the hallway quite often but I've never seen him in the kitchen or up the stairs before. Silly bird.

Hope the job applications are going well. I'll be dipping in and out i imagine. Had pasta with peas, sweetcorn, courgette, mushroom and chopped up LM red onion sausages and a hea of philly. Lovely. Pitta pizza, coleslaw, salad and chips tonight. I wont want to snack after all that! It did go well, and after 0 syns on Wednesday I'm really hoping for my 4.5 stone award but will be happy with just 1lb off to get into the next stone bracket.

Laura we all get gains eventually. I've had my share, it isn't the one week that counts it is the general trend. You have identified you've slipped up and you want to change it before it becomes habit. Draw a pibe under it, plan your meals and lots of water. I'm afraid I'm just a back to basics girl.
 
Haha thanks lovely :) (admittedly the bread WAS amazing!!) but I feel like I was bak in the way of eating for the sake of it like I used to, and it scared me a bit! I really don't want to go back to how I was before!! I may take a leaf out of Frans book, not sure I could manage syn free but maybe 5 syn days for a few days!?

Thanks for replying, appreciated it!! Xxx

5 is fine. My syn free weekends came about to stop me scoffing for no reason other than it was a weekend, now I have up to 15 syns wed-fri, 0 on weekends and around 10 Monday and Tuesday instead of roughly 10 a day, so I haven't cut down loads, just mixed it round, because, like you, I was having bad stuff for the sake if it. Remember I had a 2.5lb gain the other week, it was back off the next week, so no feeling disheartened.

On a too much info note my period is really weird this month, it has given me the runs too (which it does do sometimes). Stupid body. At least my bad mood is waning!
 
I echo everything everyone else has said Camz. Sadly I can't really offer much advice as I am often in the same boat and have yet to find a sure way to stop myself short of keeping saying to myself that eating that whatever will not feel as good as losing each week!! Just get back on board the SW train and even if you gain this week you'll get it off the next and a bit more the week after.

2 Applications down but there is so little out there as that was all I found and I've been through 3 websites, I will def be out of work at the end of the year and really want to start something new before then because if I haven't got I will want to take January and February off because of the weather but if not it'll not be for lack of looking.
 
Hadn't finished that before clicking on send by mistake...

What are those sausages like Fran? I have seen them a want to try them but am worried they'll be like the quorn ones which I hate, I love other quorn stuff but NOT the sausages.

Also that's not TMI, I always get that the first couple of days so I know it's normal but hope you feel better soon. Periods suck!!

1.25lb down this week, not bad considering I was 1.5lb up on Wednesday!

I'll read back and comment in a bit, just forcing myself & my cold to go out :(
 
Oops sorry, didn't mean to gross you out, will edit my post :)

I will give those sausages a try then and hope I like them, they do sound nice
