Everyone else has got one... so now it's my turn

[UKSerena]

Eurgh... no thanks to the curly wurly or wispa.
I don't like chocolate.
It is however enough for a packet of mini party rings though haha.

And my belly is flat - always has been, but it sticks out first and then it's flat lol.

As for before & after pics - I'll try and get some afters for you.
I've got plenty of hideous befores - in fact I've been looking at some pics from when I went to florida in september 2011 and oh my word, I look hideous.

So I've got some pics from 2011, a pic from april 2012 and a pic from april this year.

I'm also planning on taking a photo in the clothes I was wearing in the april 2012 picture, so when I get two seconds, I'll take some.
Probably tomorrow afternoon providing I don't get caught up doing other things.
Hope not - I'm looking forward to an afternoon of chilling and doing naff all =D

Oooooo I look forward to the pics! I love a good Before n After pic! X PS-Enjoy the Party Rings, I can't eat them as they aren't Veggie :-( They look pretty tho! X

Sounds like a Plan I love my Weeklies but this week I haven't touched them, I'm eager to see what that and the 30DS will do, hopefully it will wave goodbye to my Holiday Gain! I'm glad to hear that you are dropping one gym session, was worried u was gonna burn yourself out soon ;-) And btw, I'm glad you're liking how u look, u look amazing! X

Yeah... I'm really happy.
I'm slowly starting to tone.
I like the way my shoulders & collarbone look atm, my arms are definitely toning - I've even got tiny little bicep muscles going on.
My stomach is still a little too jiggly for my liking, but I can see definition coming in there too.
But the thing that's really helping - well two things actually - is having clothes that fit (I was still wearing quite a lot of my older clothes so couldn't really see my new shape, but now I've got my new coloured jeans, new shorts, sorted through my tshirts, pretty smaller dresses, I can actually see it and like what I see) and also, the boy.
He absolutely loves how I look now (not that he didn't before, but he's definitely enjoying the view more now) and he can't keep his hands off me.
It's brilliant having the person you're with actually "fancy" you, if that makes sense.

I'm quite looking forward to your result on saturday as well.
And I'm not working saturday so will be able to see it pretty much when you post it (providing I'm not at zumba haha).
Do you think not having your weeklies could cause a negative effect?!
Or do you reckon the 30DS will counteract it?!
I think you'll lose your 2lbs gain, and then at least another 1lb.
So I'm going with a 3lb weight loss this week.

Any other takers on Serena's weight loss on saturday?!

OMG 3lbs would be amazing but I'm not being greedy and would be happy with 2lbs! What time do u leave home and return from Zumba? I'm hoping that I will have done enough with the 30DS to give me the kick I needed, I didn't have cause to use Weeklies this week and I have to say after last week there was just nothing I fancied! X

 

[elfy1807]

Awwwww that's so lovely Sweetie Lots of catching up to be done then ;-) x

Yep... absolutely.
Not actually had any catching up this week - just lovely cuddles.

I had a bit of a downer last week and text him a huge essay saying how I felt (because I can't say my feelings out loud - I feel really uncomfortable and awkward) and last night he replied to it with an essay.
And it was extremely amazing what he had to say, and it's good knowing where we both stand in the relationship, and that he feels the same as I feel.

I am so ridiculously happy with him.
Sorry... soppy time over haha.
Just not used to feeling so brilliant and everything coming together at the same time - a brilliant, funny boy who actually likes me for who I am, feeling great about how I look and a job.
I've never had all 3 of them at the same time.
Life doesn't get much better tbh.

I'm so pleased for you Sweetie, no one deserves it more than you. Long may it continue is what I say! Maybe with Catch-Ups added in though ;-) x

Zumba is 10-11.
I'll be up about 8ish though.
What time will you be weighing?

You've done brilliantly with the 30DS.
I still haven't checked it out.
You've upped from Leslie and she did you wonders, so I think 30DS will be great for you.
I bet you're loving having something to do other than just walking.

I am loving it, it really sets me up for the day! Who would of thought I'd have Quiche in the Oven at 0600 and I'd be working out at 0630! I will try and get to the Leisure Centre as soon as Poppy wakes up and then I can come home and post straight away x

Oh, I get plenty of catch ups.
But it's usually weekends because we're just both so tired during the week lol.
He works long days, and although I only work 4 hour shifts, as you know, my free time is constantly on the go.
So am really looking forward to chilling tomorrow afternoon, doing a bit of scrapbooking maybe, get some before & after pics sorted.

We need to make your life as good as mine.
Not saying you have a pants life, but you don't need the stress of the DWP, doctors, IBS, nonsense like that.
So if we can help you in any way, even if it's only a virtual hug now and then, then we're here for you.
And as for noone deserving to be happy more than me, that's not true.
You do.
You've had a pants year, and we need to get you back on track =D
xxxxxxxxxxx

No.
Still haven't found it.
And my room is a s*it hole atm... clothes everywhere - really needs tidying.
I'm sure I'll find it one day, but absolutely gutted it's not anywhere I've looked.

One day I borrowed a card from my mum and I put it away after I used it, I looked in said place about 10 ten times, turned whole house upside down and then stopped looking and it turned up in the place I looked! I reckon it was my brother playing a practical joke as he always liked doing those when we were kids! X

 

[ununpentium]

I hope you find your coin soon. My room is steadily getting messier again! It's really hard to keep tidy as it's a big room and I've got a lot of stuff.

Yeah... too much stuff is my problem.
And although I sold loads at the car boot, I still seem to have loads left.
Will defo need to be doing about 600 car boots haha

 

[elfy1807]

Sorry ladies, I haven't had chance to take any before & after pics yet.
Well, not proper ones anyway.

My friend at work finishes work today and is having leaving drinks tomorrow as she's got herself a year's visa to Australia and is off travelling within the next week.
Absolutely gutted because she's hilarious and we get on really well.

So I've spent my afternoon making her a leaving card and thought I'd show you all, see what you think.

Awwwww that card is so lovely, you're so thoughtful I hope that she likes it, I'm sure she will Will u be indulging in a drinkie to see her off tomorrow night? X

I might.
The pub we're going to is round the corner from the boy's house, so I may have a cider or something.
Gonna look up some pointed drinks and see if it's worth it.
If not, I'll still have a good time anyway.
The boy's tagging along for a bit of moral support.
Although I get along with most people at work, it's the first time I'll have socialised with any of them out of work, so at least I'll have him if I'm feeling a bit awkward/left out.
But I doubt that'll happen.

I hope she likes it too.
I'm sure she will.
I wrote a little note inside too.
If she throws it away before she leaves, then so be it.
But what I don't know, won't hurt me =)
