Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

Good to see you back Charlene, even tho I pop onto your diaries. With the chicken dish, how about cooking all the chicken & veg, adding in some stock & then some light Phili.....I have that sort of dish all the time & have it with rice or pasta......delicious.
Tried a body wrap once many moons ago, felt nice but cant remember the results......think you only get a temporary shrinkage tho.

Can you ignore his behaviour Donna & let him burn himself out & then sit & have a chat about his behaviour??? Sorry cant really help!
 
Woke up this morning feeling really 'empty', not sure why tho as had plenty to eat yesterday & popped on the scales & am at last back down to 8st 11.5lbs!!!!!!!!! So hoping to lose another pound by Friday which will take me to my lowest in a very long time. I hope this is me out of the plateau I seem to have been in for about 6 weeks! I have 14 weeks to get to my target date, which should be very achievable as the weather will be improving & I can get out on my bike at last.

Off out to a friends house for lunch & then on 3 nights from tonight!
 
We sometimes do that at home, we'll just send him into the hall to calm himself down, but my mums problem is when he does it in public which I know isn't good, but other then making sure he is punished for it there's nothing I can do to stop him there and then, not that I can think of anyway other then giving him what he wants, which I refuse to do as that would just encourage it.

I was right though, she called me back and said how she wasn't saying I was doing anything wrong just that I need to do something else, so I explained how I wasn't having a go either just asking what else I could do. She didn't like the idea of us telling him he couldn't go the following week, because then she wouldn't see him, so I said how punishing him at her house the following week as one he wouldn't remember how he'd been and two its not fair in front of the other two, she said she wouldn't do it in front of the other two, but then its like well how will you do it then?

I think my idea of telling him he can't go the following week is actually the best one, but like I say she doesn't like that. But she can't moan about his behaviour and say something needs to be done and then argue with the one thing that can be done which might stop it just because she might not see him every so often.


Good luck Kim, would be great if you get down to that :) I'm keeping fingers crossed for tomorrow, after unexpected gain last week and period over the weekend I'm hoping for at least a 2lb loss. In fact would love a 2lb loss each week coming up to boyfriends Birthday as that would take me about half a lb off the bottom end of my target, so I would have 6lb to gain the following two weeks for his Birthday and doubt I would actually gain that much.
 
I'm good today, got the bathrooms cleaned and also done my crosstrainer and crunches.

Mums managed to wind me up but I've calmed down now, she was getting all funny about little one kicking off yesterday at her house and crying in the street, he'd just been at his dads who always spoils him and it always takes a couple of hours for him to get out of that attitude. He'd decided he wanted sweets so he started crying about it, we told him he couldn't have them because of how he was behaving, I told him off and got him in the car. What else could I have done? My mum was saying how I need to get him out of it, I asked what else I could have done as I told him off and didn't give him what he wanted and she just kept going on about how I needed to do something because its every time he goes to hers, I pointed out that he didn't on Wed and she said yeah well he hasn't been here for a while before then... which surely proves my point that it isn't all the time as he didn't on Wed and then hasn't been there for a while.
Anyway I asked her what I could do, I was very close to saying I can't exactly tape his mouth shut and she thought I was having a go and said she had to get off, but I wasn't having a go, I was literally just asking her what could I do? How can she constantly tell me I need to do something but not actually give any suggestions on what I should be doing?

So after I'd calmed down I text asking if she thinks telling him if he does it again we won't go the following week ect. she won't like that as we'll have to follow through with it and then she won't see him, but if she's embarrassed to have him on her street then why does she want to see him anyway. Also her suggestion was if he kicks off one week she'll punish him the next week for it, but that's not fair as one he won't understand as much as if he just doesn't go and two my niece and nephew also go, so how can she punish him for something he did a week a go and treat them normally? He's only 4, he won't understand completely.

i agree...its not reasonable to punish
a child one week after the incident. anyway he is your child and in my opinion only you and partner should be punishing him. does he stay overnight with your mum? if so, how is his behavior normally? is it only when you are about he plays up?
if he plays up when she looks after him then fine for her to have a word or punish him there and then but you should speak about what you both agree is a suitable punishment.
i know that if my little one does something and i speak to him about it there and then he takes it. usually when we get home i sit with him and let him know i am not happy and if he does it again then..x y or z will happen. sounds like he was just being typical child. did he go straight from dads to your mum's? maybe he was just looking for some attention from his mummy? your right though donna...don't criticise unless can give alternative or solution x

A pound down since Friday! I know that will have no correlation to my official WI this Friday but just felt slimmer & was curious as you know I dont like to WI midweek lol!
Funny thing is tho, DH came home on Friday & commented on 'my girls' & for the first time ever said they were 'liddle titties' in a stupid american accent.....I've always been a fairly big busted girl, so was rather surprised at his comment lol! Not happy tho as will need more new bras again!
Target is still 8st 7lbs, so should be achievable by the 3rd May!

She has him overnight every so often and he's usually very well behaved. To be honest I think she's being unfair, he was kicking off this time because he had just come straight from dads to hers and the last time he played up was a few weeks ago and he was actually really ill and tired after being at school (full of cold) not that I'm making him an excuses for him, he shouldn't be naughty but at the end of the day I told him off an explained to him he can't act like that, but then you have to understand why they're misbehaving as well. Her main problem is she doesn't like it when he makes a fuss outside and she worries about what everyone else thinks.

glad its all sort of sorted donna..you know him best and what's best for him. no one likes children acting up in public but they are just wee mini people, you can only try to minimise it...god i wish there was a wand for when it happens lol
 
I wish mushy pea's were free on red :( I love them.


I just had frajita mix and butternut squash chips as a red day tea today with one ww wrap, was gorgeous!!!

I know its annoying with little one, I think my mum forgets what its like having kids at times. Wouldn't mind but he's usually so well behaved and she only seems to remember the times he's not. He's been a little angel today, walked home from school so well even though the wind and rain were horrible, even I was having problems with it, then he did his homework and read his reading book to me without moaning, then he decided himself that he was going to tidy his room before helping me cook my tea. He finished his tea just as I was serving mine and boyfriends up (boyfriend was late from work so gave little one his earlier as wasn't sure what time we'd be eating) and he sat and waited for us to finish before asking for his pudding.

Haha although I spent 15 minutes in his pack lunch room at work today and the lady who took over told me he kept asking where I was and when I was coming back... I mentioned this to boyfriend just now and little one said ''No that wasn't me it was Spencer who wanted you''
 
Aww bless him


Well group didnt go as bad as I thought. I weighed in at 10 11.5 sp ive gained 1 stone 1/2lbs. I have about 3month to get down to 9 6 so will see :)

little sweetheart...i agree that others forget what small children can be like and their tolerance levels are not as high as they were when they had their own kids x
 
in a quandary...since i mentioned ham cheese and pickle ssndwiches its all i can think of for lunch tom. however there is left over chicken from my roast yesterday that needs used up. and suggestions what i can do with the chicken? its been shredded up. really wanted red or green day tom now am confused. are weight watcher sausages the same syn value on any plan?
 
you could have chicken and pickle sandwiches on a red day? or make a chicken curry or stew.

ww sausages are the same on red but think theyre 4 on green
