20 somethings

Ooh I was expecting to see some WI news by now!

One of the guys at work has got a crazy Facebook stalker. He doesn't know who she is but she says she's seen him at the gym and thinks he's hot. He ignored it but he started getting more and more messages last night - all about his profile pictures and all sorts. In the end he messaged back saying he had a gf, he didn't have a clue who she was and could she please leave him alone. By the time he got into work this morning he'd had nearly 100 messages from her since 6pm yesterday. She'd got herself all worked up that things were going to be awkward now (uhhh y'think?!) so he replied saying things didn't need to be awkward, just chill out and that would be the last she'd hear from him. He'd already had a few replies in the walk from the carpark to the building! We've advised him to print the conversations, report her and block her. He's got grounds for harassment! Oh the joys of the interwebs... It's certainly livened up my morning.

Clare, you'll be fine. I've always thought Chinese food is very heavy! Plenty of time to undo it this week.

I'm sure you can do it, Jenna and Scarlett! One day at a time. :)

My friend started the Cambridge Diet just after I got my half stone award so we agreed to be diet buddies. Since then she's gained 3lb and I've lost 8.5. I'm trying to convince her on to SW but she wants the quick fix - but it's so restrictive that she just ends up cheating. The trouble with CD is it relies on you getting into and staying in ketosis, so you really can't cheat. She has a really tough job in the fashion industry (think Devil Wears Prada lifestyle) and they're forever getting baskets of muffins etc delivered from people trying to win favour so there's temptation at every turn! I don't envy her! At least with SW if you have a bad day you can either manage your syns for the rest of the week or just move on.
 
Girls, just popped home for lunch and just found out a lovely surprise that I wish i hadnt seen! :(

as i opened the laptop, mikes emails automatically pop up as they are set to do (as its technically his laptop), the email that was open on the main screen was a message from the apple store confirming details of an engraving for an iPad, Mandie's Ipad to be precise (my real name for those who don't know/have forgotton!)! Now im really excited and thrilled at such a thoughtful gift, but at the same time I'm so gutted that ive spoilt the surprise! :( I assume it is a christmas gift and im so annoyed that ive found out without even meaning to! i cant tell him as he might think i was being nosy and i dont want to ruin the surprise as he is so thoughtful with gifts, would be awful if i told him i knew! anyway just had to offload! i will say no more and def not mention to him and look forward to christmas day :)
 
Oh no! My OH accidentally told me what some people have got me last night - but not a big surprise like that! You'll have to perfect your surprised and delighted face before Christmas!
 
i know I will! I genuinely am so excited and happy about it, but just wish I hadnt found out yet! oh no not you too lol, the world is out to spoil our surprises! I will, if for nothing else than to spare his feelings as I know I would hate it if I had planned a surprise and he found out beforehand. We do usually get too impatient with our gifts to each other and open most of them on xmas eve so thats one day less to wait!
 
Oh how sweet of him though scarlet, it is probably so you stop stealing his laptop :p it is lovely of him, plenty of time to perfect a surprised face :)

Clare, it probably is just sitting in your system. Variety is key, so having a bit of bread for a change sounds fine.

I finally managed to get some rocky road hifi bars today! She kept running out before I arrived. Just 3 packs left when I got in so I bought 2. Smaller group today because of all the rain. We had ti take a different route because one way as blocked off with rain.

I lost 1.5lbs, so still 1lb short of my 4.5 stone award, but I still have 4 weigh ins to go so it isn't all bad, be i am into the 15s (hurrah) and I looked at our 10lbs in 10 weeks challenge and I have lost 7.5 with 4 weigh ins left so on track to hit that. So it is a little boo, but a few yays so all in all I'm ok. I'll have to wait until next week to change my Sig!

I have my fingers crossed ready for your 10% tonight emily, and hope the other wednesday weighers get good news.
 
Yay well done on the 15s fran! Knew you would x 4 wi's for 1lb no problem! Your doing amazing
 
Woohoo! Sounds like you'll hit all those targets in no time, Fran! I'm addicted to Rocky Road Hi Fi bars now! Perfect for a minimal-syns sweet hit.

I had a sneaky lunchtime weigh and I was 3lb up from this morning!!! I took my trousers and cardi off and went back down to just 1lb up, got dressed again and it still said I was 1lb up from this morning, so I don't know what's going on - probably trying to teach me not to be a serial weigher!

Absolutely shattered again this afternoon. I only had lunch an hour and a half ago! I'm going to need a coffee again. I've got to be in work at 7 tomorrow to head straight off to a conference so there isn't even the prospect of a lie in!
 
Thanks Christie hun. I had a quick look and it is 8 weeks until my slimming world anniversary! And if I drop 13lbs by then I will have a bmi of 34.9 which would bring me from obese (stage 3) to obese (stage 1) woo. Just got to hope Xmas, birthday and new years don't derail me! How is that for goals!

Haha, Emily you sound like me. "if I stand like this what does it say?" "if I hold my arms out what does it say" etc. Luck is being sent your way so you don't sleep during group.
 
Hey again everyone. I'm supposed to be starting SW group tonight and I can't get hold of the consultant. I'm worried about just turning up. How early should I get there? Very nervous
 
Souffle, I would turn up at the time it says the class starts - in my experience a lot of the regular members turn up about 15 mins after class officially starts, giving you time to fill in your details and the consultant time to talk you through the plan. Just getting through the door is a great achievement in my book!

When I joined SW the first time I was in a major panic - I turned up and couldn't find the right door. I was stood on the wrong side of the building, able to see light through the frosted glass but I couldn't work out how the bloody hell to get in! I ended up on the phone to a friend who had to talk me down and convince me to just get in there. Of course, once I was in there everyone was absolutely lovely - there were several new members so I didn't feel too exposed!

When I started SW this time (after a 2 year gap) I stopped at a cashpoint on the way and realised I didn't have my purse. I had to leg it back to work to get it and then still go back via the cashpoint! I arrived about 15mins after class 'started' but they hadn't sat down for the new members chat yet and the consultant was really laid back. I think I still expected to be told off or something but it was fine. :)
 
Oh, I meant to say - I've never called the consultant before I've joined! I get so nervous about talking to random people on the phone! I wouldn't worry about it Souffle, people just turn up all the time. :D

Sad news about the quails. :( I didn't realise rats were so vicious!
 
Aww thanks everyone. I do have a fear about walking into places on my own and the last SW group I was at didn't seem overly friendly... nobody really spoke to me. I'll be brave and just go in... what's the worst that could happen eh? :)
 
My first SW group was alright but not great - they were nice people but they kept themselves to themselves and didn't really take much interest in other people's journeys. The group I'm at now is much bigger and everyone chats to anyone! I would say give it a few weeks and if you're not settling in then shop around for another group - don't do what I did and just fall off the wagon for a few years..!
 
Thanks everyone for your thoughts on online dating. One guy asked me to meet up and I didn't know wether to but I suppose I should! I'm terrible at things like this I always chicken out of this type of thing, which is probably why I'm single still ha.

Well done so far Wednesday weighers, I'm on the way home right now so ill weigh I then x
 
Go for it, Ciara! If only to liven up our lives with some gossip!

I'd love to be asked on a date these days! The OH and I are wonderfully worn-in now and I remember the initial giddy dating phase very fondly. Earlier in the year he spontaneously booked dinner out at a lovely restaurant by the river, and arranged that he would go first and I would meet him there. It was like a first date all over again - I was so nervous! I suppose it was the best bits of a first date though because I knew I liked him..!
 
That's what I was thinking at least I can give the rest of ye a laugh anyway if I go!

I always hated the initial phase, I always liked being more settled, but I'm pretty sure that all comes down to me breing a wuss about going on first dates etc haha
