View attachment 88611
This is me and my besti right at the end of the night :)

Love the eye transfer, looks amazing :)


Im like a woman possessed on the scales.....grrrrrr! Down another 1/8 of a pound today, think Im worried I've done some damage from the weekend, but all good so far! Its so good seeing 8 stone 5lbs something on the scales!

Was a mad day yesterday with lots of running around & was getting quite stressed with it all & then to top it off, I was walking past my local Boots & put my hand down to a big fluffy Alsation to sniff & he bit my hand, jumped up & started barking with teeth bared - he was leashed thank goodness! My reaction - just laughed, as I think mania had set in by then lol! Had a tooth mark & bit of a bruise, but hand intact!

Todays plans, are cleaning the house this morning & then this afternoon Im having my nails & eyelashes done. Hair is a bit brighter than I normally have it, quite coppery/chestnutty, but I like it!

Hope your hands okay, he didn't break the skin did he? Just goes to show you can't be too careful with dogs... I love dogs but always very wary when I'm running as you don't know how they'll react.

I desperately need some pampering, would love to have my nails done but will have to stick with doing them myself.... unless I can get my sister sister in law to do them, she's great at them but she's trying to get away from doing that as she wants to be a pharmacy assistant now, but its worth asking, don't mind paying her a little bit as she doesn't ask for much and I know she's really good, I've seen some people go to salons that charge a fortune and their nails don't look as good as what I could do myself (and I'm not amazing at it) My hair really needs cutting though and my eyebrows need something doing to them... don't know whether to have them waxed, plucked or threaded... never really done anything with them as they naturally have a nice shape but noticed they're getting a bit wild now :/

All the photos on my phone are just of me and my besti. My friend took a camera and took loads but they are on fb.
Had an amazing weekend. The spa was awesome I had a chocolate massage and a facial and walked up and down the pool for an hour. The strippers were funny they went full way, we were just expecting butts but we got the full whack!

If you right click on the photo's on facebook you can copy the link and put that in the photo thing on here and still post them... but you have to do that from a laptop or computer

Male strippers scare me a little haha, if I were going to see some I'd go for a stage show (is that what yours was?) rather then having one coming and doing a show by himself

Im afraid that doesn't excite me anymore, coz in my job if I had a pound for every one I'd washed, I'd be a very rich lady LOL! Good fun tho!
I remember years ago seeing The Chippendales.....quite tame, but funny!

I'd be scared somebody would pinch Charlie coz she's so pretty!

Yay to multi quoting!

What type of dog is Charlie again? Sorry I know and I know I've seen pictures but I'm not with it today.

I'm getting dog envy, one of the children at schools dog has had 4 puppies last week, they're jack Russell's and I keep thinking oooo they're nice and small for our house.... I'll be very tempted to have one if she says they're struggling once they're old enough... lol

I once walked to tesco with my dog and tied her up outside, shes a pure breed lhasa so oh has told me not to! Anyways when I came out only her harness and lead were tied up. After looking around for her I walked home crying. She was sat on the blming doorstep. Turned out she didnt want to sit outside tesco! Still have no idea how she got out of the harness x

OMG!!! So glad you found her, that is kind of sweet that she went straight home, maybe she thought you'd left her and gone home and didn't understand you were in the shop. I think I would have called the police from the shop...

Vicky you look fab and I must say the hair is gorgeous!!! Your going to look BEAUTIFUL on your wedding day.... Not long now, will be so excited to see pictures!

Kim I just can't believe you've turned into a scale hopper hehehe BUT your doing great! Bad news on the dog biting you though, naughty thing!

So excited to be close to the finishing line now and being able to work my way down the scales instead of them constantly going up! Not sure exactly where 3 st has been gained but I suppose I will see after bubs is here.

I hope you will still have me even though I wont be anywhere near the 9's I need all your support because your all fab.

You'd always be welcome here Nikki, although I bet it won't be as bad as you think. Are you planning on breastfeeding, its suppose to help with weight loss, don't know if it does though, I breastfed and didn't loose weight but I also didn't diet so not really one to comment lol.

havent got any mini treats but i did manage to resist and had a cuppa tea instead. GO ME. My problem is at night once little one is in bed and i grab bar choc to cosy down with a book. Need to stop this esp as i have very little syns left x

Well done on resisting. I always try and save my syns for an evening and its usually chocolate it gets spent on as well.

Girls i am soo hungry today. Will confess that today when i woke up i was really hungy, gave in and had 30g bowl cornflakes. Its not SW rules and its not a HE but its the only thing that will keep on track. Sounds pathetic but thats how it is and if i have to take longer losing weight because iam having cereal then i need to deal with that. Calories will be the same as some HE cereals thought i know the fibre isnt but i am happy with that. I have already eaten my lunch of 2 pitta filled with salad and ham, one was HE and one was synned so goodness knows what lunch will be. Hungry horrace ;o(

Thought of you today, I've not been very well and all I wanted to eat was either toast or cornflakes, I was only saying the other day that I would never eat cornflakes again because of sw and I just couldn't get them out of my head. I've been good though and stuck to plan (only because this week needs to be spot on after last week)

Hi girls, loads of posts to read! All very exciting, a big birthday ( love the garden) a baby (love the bump) a wedding (lovely pics).

It's hard to keep up with ye all!
I'm just back from kettlebells. The instructor was chatting me after and she asked did I want to lose anymore weight that I was 'skin and bone'. I was taken aback as I didn't think I was 'skinny'. I have been giving myself a hard time about maintaining lately as I feel I don't have it under control but maybe I need to chill out.

It's hard to see yourself as thin I think. I was always big as a child and teenager and it wasn't up until I was in my 20's I lost weight and ate healthy and exercised. Then I've had 3 babies in 7 yrs so gain 3 times and lose 3 times. It just seems like my life has been a slave to the scales. No more babies for me lol so perhaps now I can get used to me!

Kim it's mad that your scales keeps going down.....I want that to happen me!!!

I hate it when people say skin and bones, or even skinny... people don't realise sometimes how offensive some terms for being smaller are, what's wrong with saying slim lol.

Im same deb. I have always been big, I went from been age 12 to a size 12 and now im a 10. When I look at photos I think gosh I am looking quite thin but in person I think I need to lose a lot more. I hate it when people say ur skin and bone. Its not a compliment and we have worked blumming hard to get like this!


One more photo for u guys. This is a group shot before we went out. However, we had been drinking 3 hours already!

I've also always been bigger then I am now, the smallest I was when I was younger was a size 10 -12 and I was really happy at that size. When I was early teens I was quite chubby... mum used to always call it baby fat but I knew I was chubby (you don't have baby fat at secondary school lol) but even then I was a size 12 - 14 (14 at a push as well) I lost a weight for my 18th Birthday which was when I got to a 10 - 12. I put on loads of weight when pregnant and it took me a while to loose it, I don't know what weight I was or even what size I was at my biggest as I just ignored it and would squeeze myself into the smallest clothes I could, I think the biggest clothes I bought were a 16 but I had loads of 14's which were too small but I squeezed myself into them saying sizes are getting smaller I'm not a 14 blah blah blah.... I lost weight on my own and got back down to a 12 and again I felt like I looked good and looking back at photo's I think I looked good, but after meeting my boyfriend I put weight on again, not as much as when I was pregnant but still more weight... that's when I then joined slimming world and when I got back to a 12 I still felt big, I look back at those pictures and I'm not happy with how I looked either (which is weird when I look back on other pictures of me being a 12 and I think I look fine) I'm now an 8 and happy with how I look, I wouldn't want to be a 6, I think that would be too far for me and also its harder to buy clothes that size lol.



I've had an awful day today, woke up feeling like I needed to be sick and really hot, managed to get dressed (took me ages though) and forced myself to eat some fruit and yogurt (probably not the best choice but I wanted to stick to plan) dropped little one off at school and plan was to have a nap and hope I'd be better for work, but I ended up needing the toilet (little one had obviously had a bug this weekend which he'd passed onto me) I still felt sick and was thinking of going into work and just asking that I didn't do my usual job and swapped with someone who wasn't left alone with the kids so that I could rush to the toilet without worrying about leaving the kids on their own.... but then I realised how crazy that was and was in so much pain with stomach cramps I called in sick. I'm not ill very often and forgot how painful it is, feel even more sorry for little one now.

I literally slept all day, I got up and had some lunch.. again managed to stick to plan but I hadn't been sick so assumed I'd be okay although I didn't feel like eating much and just wanted toast or cornflakes I was strong.... but went straight back to sleep after, little one and boyfriend popped to the shop and bought me some more cold and flu tablets (don't think I need them but might take some now as I have a headache) some diet energy drink to bring my strength up and some grapes.


I'm feeling a little better now but still have cramps and headache, cramps aren't half as bad as they were earlier, hoping it stays that way and that I'll be better for tomorrow.


Means I'm missing WI and running tonight though, gutted about both as wanted to know what I'd done this week as its easier to draw a line under it and get back on plan, I need to keep reminding myself this is a new week... although don't know if I'll be having chocolate as my syns.... see how I feel later, also not sure whether to have my HEA or not... I should be okay shouldn't I with it being toilet and not sick? Gutted about running as well especially as its hill training today :(
 
Donna im certainly going to have a good bash at breastfeeding! I hope my diet mind set comes back almost instantly too.

Was thinking of waiting 2 weeks until i weigh after birth and then thought maybe 4 weeks but i dont want to wait 4 weeks to find i have a lot more to lose than i anticipated, think maybe weigh 2 weeks after and then weigh 2 weeks after that too.
 
Every two weeks sounds like a good idea to me, you don't want to be stressing too much about losing weight atraight after having little one. I bet you'll be surprised how easily you lose though.

Can't believe how quickly it all seems to have gone since you told us you were expecting :)
 
29 days until your due date Nikki? Could happen any time now ;)

also your wedding seems to be coming up a way quicker now as well, exciting times for everyone
 
Hope you're feeling better today Donna, as it sounds as tho you had a GI bug.

Nails & eyelashes are looking lovely, so will need to glove up with the Marigolds today to finish the last of the housework!
Weather has been lovely the last couple of days, so girls, send out some happy sunshine rays here to Dorset for Saturday :)
 
29 days until your due date Nikki? Could happen any time now ;)

awe donna how rubbish for you.......how are you today? Yes i loved the cornflakes and thanks for thinking of me lol. Didnt have any today but had an alpen light bar which i need to syn.

funny with the talk of dogs, we are dog sitting from tonight til monday - little one is hyper thought he had better not get used to it. ha
 
If you want her early Nikki have some red wine, a hot curry & some loving from the man!!!!!!!!!!! Might be an old wives tale but its supposed to get things moving!

Lol im desperate for her to be! The loving hasnt worked so far so it might be hot curry time!!

Ive had lots of twinges over the last 5 days but nothing yet x
 
busy busy busy on here ladies. Donna and nikki, how exciting!! I was all set for a lazy wee week off work when LO turned up, little rascal. He was 10 days early but stayed in hospital until his due date so officially he arrived home in time haha

It took me a long time to lose my wieght nikki but i was a pig through out my pregnancy - i also didnt try too hard for a while but it came off gradually for me. You will be so focused on your LO that you wont notice it coming off ;o)

Reading back on the other posts about being fat as a kid etc has made me realise that i have been lucky enough to never had weight issues. I know that sounds silly with me being on here but they only time i was ever above 8st was during and after the baby. So for years and years i have been sitting between 8 and 9 stone. Only after my baby has my weight been over 8 1/2 stone. Perhaps i am not meant to be any other weight?
2007 i remember being 7st 11lb but apart from that always 8-9st. More importantly since i have been doing some excercise i definately believe that my problem is toning. Body shape changed after baby but i was never happy wiht it anyway so seeing it change, albeit slowly i think i have realisd that i dont need to focus so much on the scales. I am at my best eating good and excercisng - its the crazy binges that set me off on the wrong track. Sorry just a wee story there as i only realised this today haha
 
Yup 29 days!! When mum was pregnant with me she had me today!! Aghhhh scary thoughts!

I had my little one 3 weeks early, wouldn't suggest what I did though, had a slip and somehow managed to rip my waters so had to be induced due to the risk of infection.

Just spoke to DH who said the Radio 4 weatherman says its going to be lovely over the weekend with highs of 23 degrees yipee, so get here to Dorset Vicky!

Ooooo I want some nice weather too, although maybe not too hot for Sunday as I'm racing again.... no actually I do want it hot as we have to go through a stream/river type thing near the end and that will be lovely if its a hot day but horrible if its cold.

awe donna how rubbish for you.......how are you today? Yes i loved the cornflakes and thanks for thinking of me lol. Didnt have any today but had an alpen light bar which i need to syn.

funny with the talk of dogs, we are dog sitting from tonight til monday - little one is hyper thought he had better not get used to it. ha

I'm feeling loads better today, felt a bit funny this morning but fine after having something to eat, been busy today as well, walked down to pick my prescription up, got a load of washing in and hung out (tempted to do another but might leave it for tomorrow morning) and washed the front windows and door.



I didn't use all my milk yesterday, I can't decide whether to have it today on top of my HEA allowance or whether to loose it, I know if you don't use HEX's your suppose to loose them but I don't see how its any different to having 7 syns one day and 20 another and counting it as being on plan as they balance out.... also with my vit D problem I probably shouldn't be cutting calcium out. :/


speaking of that, is UHT soya milk cheap-ish? I looked at soya milk before but looked in the fridge section and it seemed really expensive for what it was
