Anyone in the 10's wanting to get into the 9's........

[Mets]

Lucky you!! Although I couldn't imagine living back with my Mum now. I was there for Christmas and ready to leave after a couple of days! Haha!

Yeah I think (I hope) it was only a one off attack but I'm just a bit nervous about it happening again. Still, this weather is supposed to be cold for the next few weeks so I'm going to have to give it a go. I'm going to go out tomorrow during the day. I reckon walking your pup counts as some good exercise and anyway, I think it's good to mix up the exercise. Keep your body guessing!

Mmm chips! I could eat those too! your dinner sounds yummy! I've not had any chocolate. There's none in the house so it would mean going out in the cold to go and get some - which is what's putting me off! Hopefully I can resist :-/ I've no plans this weekend. Did a bit of shopping with my friend today and then had a chilled out afternoon. Tomorrow I will go for a run and then not a lot else! My fella is on nights so he leaves for work at 9 (and I'll probably go to bed not long after that to stop the chocolate cravings!) and then he'll be sleeping all day tomorrow.

Have you any plans? No snow here either! Just bloody cold! x x x

 

[claireb10]

My mum is like my best friend, don't argue much at all so I get on well living at home. Just so hard money wise to get a place now and the bf job isn't very secure right now so can't make plans.

Fingers crossed it was just a one off for you and that you will be fine again, it is scary but can't think about it happening all the time or you might bring an attack on yourself.

Good luck for your jog tomorrow, I'll be doing my DVD tomorrow and walking holly at the very least!

Dinner was nice, dipped into my weeklies for them but I try have Saturday night as a treat then Sunday is a traditional Sunday dinner so also WI is Wednesday I reset my points on a Monday because I deal with them better that way and don't run out hehe.

No plans really was with the bf today and exchanged one of his Christmas gifts from me do probably just relaxing tomorrow, think I have the cold starting, oh no!!

No snow yet but I'm on snow alert xxx

 

[Mets]

So you set your 49 weeklies from Monday instead of Wednesday?

I dot argue with my Mum, I just get annoyed by her ways if you see what I mean?! Lol I love her dearly and we get on brilliantly, I just couldn't live with her again. That's great you get on so well with your Mum You're right, getting somewhere of your own is so expensive! Even just getting money together for a deposit to rent is ridiculous. Stay as long as you can at your parents!

How comes you and your BF have only just exchanged Christmas gifts?

You're right about stressing and bringing an attack on. That's what the nurse said to me when I went to the hospital. She said I wasn't helping myself by not staying calm - easier said that done when you can't breathe!!!

Still resisting the chocolate... I nearly cracked! Hahaha! xxx

 

[claireb10]

Yes I was finding that if I started Wednesday then I was going mental at the weekend then had none left on Monday and Tuesday at all but starting a Monday means I can go 1 or 2 points over a day then I know what I have left for the weekend then it restarts on Monday.

Your so used to living with your own routine and things it would be hard for someone telling you what to do again lol really trying to save money this year then next year start planning more things. How long have u been with your fella?

Sorry I wrote that wrong, we exchanged gifts on Christmas but one didn't fit him so we exchanged it in the shop today

Well done on resisting the chocolate and nearly sleep time so you have nearly made it!!! Xxx

 

[Mets]

Hahah! I did think that was a bit late to exchange Christmas gifts!

I've been with my fella for nearly 5 years. Crikey! It's gone so quick but feels like we're still learning stuff about each other but also feels like we've always been together. How about you?? How old are you if you don't mind me asking? I'm the big 30 this year! :-o although I still feel about 21

That's a good idea re the weeklies. I tend to stick to 26/29pp on a Sunday and Monday anyway because I don't want an "extra" food weight not effect my losses! Hahaha!

I've still not had any chocolate! I just keep thinking of stepping on those scales and not losing, so that's stopping me! xxx

 

[claireb10]

Haha it would be a very late Christmas for us then

Aw that's so sweet, funnily enough we have been together for 5 years too. It's flew in, really doesn't feel that long to be honest. I'm 24, 25 in July. Ooo a big birthday, are you having a party? When is your birthday?

I suppose everyone has their own way with dealing with their weeklies that works for them, that's the good thing about WW I suppose.

Well done on resisting the chocolate! I had a walnut whip last night, first bit of chocolate in a week.

It's snowing here!! Not started lying here but it's still early yet xxx

 

[Mets]

Aww the same as us! Any plans for getting wed? ;-)

My birthday is in August. I'm not sure if I'll have a party. I'll be up in Sheffield then so I'll do something to make all my friends and family come up to see me! But I don't think I'll do a big party... I was thinking that I might hire a section off in a bar or something instead of hiring a big hall. It means I won't have to pay for a DJ! ;-)

No snow here. We've got some glorious sunshine! It's real frosty though. We're due the snow tomorrow I think. I hate driving in the snow luckily I get the train to work but I do have to sometimes drive for work, so hoping that I can get out of that! Haha!

I've never had a walnut whip! Just never fancied one... Xxx

 

[claireb10]

No plans for getting wed yet hehe have you? Think my bf would but think I'm still too young for settling down just yet.

That sounds like a good idea, that's a good excuse for getting everyone up to see you in your new place. Are you looking forward to moving? Well we should both be at target by our birthdays...fingers crossed!!

It's been snowing on and off here all morning but not lying quite yet. I've got a 25min drive to and from work, got winter tyres last year and they seem to help with the driving which is a bonus.

I give my dad the walnut and I just eat the chocolate and foam, I wouldn't normally pick them but my mum loves them so thought if I ate one then she would have one less temptation to get her off plan lol xxx

 

[Mets]

Morning! I went a bit AWOL yesterday as I wasn't feeling very well. I'm sure it was chocolate withdrawal lol I've still got a headache today. I'm wondering if it's sugar withdrawals because I've cut out drinking diet drinks as a New Years resoloution. Although, saying that, it's been ages now since I've not had one. Perhaps it really is because i've not had any chocolate! hahaha!

So it's proper snowing here. It settled a little and now it's started again. I'm hoping I don't have to drive anywhere! I bet it's real covered there?

Am I looking forward to moving? Hmm... well, I am. I'm just really stressed about the whole thing and very overwhelmed by it. Once I'm there and and settled, I'll be fine. It's just at the moment, there is so much to think about and so much to do and plan, I'm a bit like arrrrrrrrrrrrrgh! So what i've decided to do, is just not think about it lol and deal with whatever I need to deal with, at the time. I hate not being in control of anything and I like to plan and at the moment, I cannot do either of these. Which is extrememly stressful for me. If only stress made me lose weight like my Mum! haha! It seems to have the opposite reaction and I want to eat!

How was the rest of your day? xxx

 

[claireb10]

Aw that's a shame, are you feeling better now? It could be a mixture of low sugar and a change in the weather again? I always feel a bit off after the weather changes.

No snow here since yesterday morning, thought we would have been covered too but absolutely nothing in the street.

I'm so like you, plan everything and stress out if it doesn't go to plan hehe. Probably best way of dealing with it as it happens so your not constantly worrying about what may happen then. Do you have your new house picked? Sorry if I've already asked!

Didn't do much else yesterday apart from my kettleworx DVD then was working today and will head to the bfs tonight so might see if he wants to go out a bike ride depending on how cold it is

How has your day been today? Still no chocolate? Nearly your WI, how you think you have done? Xxx

 

[Mets]

I think it was probably the combination of the two. My headache disappeared this afternoon. Weird. Means I didn't get out for my run and it's too snowy/icy to go out tonight. Oops!

We're going to stay with the BFs parents for a month or so and then look at somewhere to rent for a few years, then eventually buy. Yep, the only thing I can plan is plan to deal with with stuff when it happens!!

Well done on doing your DVDs! That's more motivation than I had! Haha!

I don't feel like I've lost anything. I'll be real disappointed if I haven't because I've stuck to all my points and been good. I'll let you know tomorrow lunchtime how I get on eeeeek! xxx

P.S - I bought a pack of 9 Drifters today which are 2pp each so had my chocolate fix! I've left them at work so I don't get the urge to eat them at home.

Hope you've had a good day xxx

 

[claireb10]

Ahhh wrote a long reply and then the app cut off!!! This app is seriously getting worse.

The main thing is your feeling better now and probably safer not going out when it's like that, far too dangerous!

At least you don't have the added stress of looking for somewhere to stay, might just be a little awkward with the bfs parents lol is your bf originally from there then?

I actually enjoyed the DVD so I'm glad I done it, roll on tomorrow for week 2 Cardio.

I hate weeks like that when you know you have been good but doubt yourself the entire time. Fingers crossed for tomorrow and I can't wait to read about your great loss!!

Well done on keeping your chocolate at work. I'm the opposite, can leave chocolate and biscuits in the house but in the work I just can't stop! So not had any in work since I started back

Hope you have a lovely night xxx

 

[Mets]

Well it'll be a daily battle not to eat the lot at work! lol

I can't say I'm looking forward to living with his parents. He reckons it'll only be for a month or so - i'll take that with a pinch of salt mind as he can barely last 3 days without falling out with his mum when we go and visit! Ha! The good thing is we'll be working 24/7 shifts so hopefully we won't see them all that much. Yep, he's a Sheffield boy and came down here for Uni. Finally going back home after 8 years and dragging me with him! ;-)

I'm so glad you're optimistic about my weigh in tomorrow! :-o lol

I'm just planning my weeks food out for shopping in a bit and I'm so uninspired! I may end up having some ready meals as I just can't be bothered to cook or plan meals out. How lazy! How do you feel about your wi on weds? cxx

 

[claireb10]

Lol as long as you don't eat them all before WI you will be fine

Well it's just the same as you saying you couldn't live with your mum again. I'm sure you will both be too busy working and looking for your own place that the time will fly by without you even noticing. How do you feel about leaving your home town to move away?

Of course I'm optimistic, you stayed within points and exercised so there's not much else you can really do and it all should go to plan.

I'm the same, apart from Saturday and Sunday every other meal was a frozen meal as I just couldn't be bothered cooking or even looking at recipes.

Went out tonight on my bike for about 45mins with the bf. Freezing isn't the word but glad I done it now so hope my legs and bum aren't too sore for my DVD tomorrow.

Hope you had a nice, good luck for WI!!! Xxx

 

[Mets]

Thanks hun, your wishes worked and I lost 2lbs! Yeeeeeeeeeah!!! 10st 1lb now... 5lbs to go until I get to pre December weight!

How has your day been? Well done on getting on the bike... that's some impressive stuff considering how cold it is. It's freeeeezing here today!

I actually don't live in my hometown right now. I'm about 30mins away and I don't see my friends all too often - maybe once a month. I'm sad to leave them. There are some that I know I will defo stay in touch with, but most, I know, wont. And I'm really sad about it. I've not left yet but I just know the ones who will and won't stay in touch and actually make an effort to see me/arrange to meet.

My headache is back today. Its sharp shooting pains in my temples and a dull ache around my eyes. I've just put my glasses on and I've been so busy today, I've not had time to drink much water so I'm hoping its just that. xxx

 

[claireb10]

That's great we'll done! You will be at target in no time

My day has been busy but I prefer it that way. What is it that you do? How has your day been? Yea I was glad I went out, heater up soon enough lol

That's a shame but if you know already who will stay in touch and won't then you won't be wasting your time on the ones that won't and you will make lots of lovely new friends when you move!

Aw that's a shame hopefully your glasses fix it. I was getting headaches like that a couple of years ago and it was because I wasn't blinking enough and my eyes were drying out so I use one of those eye sprays now to help xxx

 

[Mets]

Haha! That made me laugh! Why don't you blink??

Day has been really busy at work. I was out all day and all I could think about is getting back to have my WI! I work for the police and my BF is a police officer. When's transferring to South Yorks and I have a job in their control room taking 999 calls. It's very different to what I do now (I work in CID as an investigator) but looking forward to the challenge of it.

I'm out for dinner tonight - we're going to this Italian and I have no idea about how to point anything. I think I might treat myself and have a pizza my weeklies will probably be used up today but I don't have any plans this week where I'll need to use them. I'm going to have soup this week for lunch just in case I get the attack of the chocolate monster in the evenings again!

I never know if my weeklies reset today on wi day or start tomorrow... There's differing opinion on it. When I WI in the evening, they reset the next day but I WI in the afternoons now. Does that mean they reset today or tomorrow? Anyway, either way, I'll have probably used them after tonight!

How do you feel about WI tomorrow? x x x

 

[claireb10]

Haha I blink but the optician told me that if you work on a computer you blink less so your eyes dry out causing sore eyes which leads to sore head.

That sounds a really interesting job, both parts of it! How long have you worked in CID for? I work in the sales department for a precision engineering firm, not out much yet but hoping to build up to it.

Aw that's lovely I hope you enjoy your meal out. I would just reset your weeklies whenever you want. Considering I reset mine on Monday I just make up when I want to set it. As long as you dot go over the 49 in any one week then you should be fine.

I was feeling really good about WI but very bloated tonight and time of the month tomorrow so hoping it won't affect it too much xxx

 

[Mets]

Oh! Haha! I thought you meant you just dont blink! lol

I've worked in CID for 2 1/2yrs but for the police for 7yrs. I love it and wouldn't dream of doing anything else. I couldn't do sales at all. Do you enjoy your job?

Hmmm well I've used my weeklies for last week and if I don't reset them today, I'd go over. Perhaps I'll just enjoy my meal and then assume they're all gone. Any points That Go over my dailies, I'll make up with AP.

I hate it when I have my period. It usually means I STS but then get a good loss the following week. Fingers crossed that doesn't happen with you! xxx

 

[claireb10]

No no I blink lol it's better now though.

What did you do before CID? At least you enjoy your job that's the main thing. Yea I like my job, only been there coming up to 2 years. It's not any type of cold calling, it's talking to actual customers and I love that part of it, I can be quite persuasive hehe

Think that's probably the best way to do it to be on the safe side, you don't want to affect next weeks losses!

I know fingers crossed its not affecting it and even if it does it should catch up by next week
