hi guys its sw although tbh i joined tues eve and i wont be on plan till tomorrow had a tough few days, had our debit card skimmed and they have took the whole of my hubby's wage. Luckily i have a wonderful mum and fab inlaws helping us through till its sorted

 

[DisneyParis]

Jax, that's awful about your debit card. Hope it all gets sorted out and you get reimbursed soon.

Emma, good luck for your weigh-in tomorrow.

 

[trisha]

Jax do you know how they skimmed your card? hope the bank reimburse you soon.

Good luck with your weigh in Emma

 

[jaxmummy]

Jax do you know how they skimmed your card? hope the bank reimburse you soon.

Local cash point they think. They can easily be adapted, they had been taking an odd pound for a couple of weeks before they raided it and id never noticed !

 

[trisha]

thats terrible! I'm always really wary of cash points etc, that happened to me a few yeats ago they tried to take a few pounds but the bank immediately stopped card, because I very rarely used the card except to draw cash and they were suspicious and rang me to see if I had tried to spend of few pounds, I think quite a few cards had been "Done" at the same cash point. I always try and go inside the bank now or I check the cash machine before I put the card in.

Hello all, thanks for all the best wishes for WI, hoping to get a better result than last week but I am due on next week and last night had my first SS+ day, I had grilled chicken, lettuce and cucumber and I had it whilst being out! I have to say that TGI's were very accommodating and did me an extra chicken breast and side salad of lettuce and cucumber! I had a small plate and took off what I wanted to eat and put it on the plate and had the other one taken away, I could have eaten more and could feel that in myself but I chose to stop and felt good about that it's nice to know that there is somewhere I can go that will do that for me

After working out all the pricing we decided that we can't afford for the OH to do Cambridge too so she is doing WW which I am pretty much controlling, she eats what I give her! And I do all her points, it works quite well for her as she's a traffic warden so walks for a good six hours a day which means she earns activity points. I've found that it actually is working well for me too as it's made me feel like when I get there I can totally maintain, the more weight conscious meals I cook for her and the healthy that I make my family before I even get to eating proper dinners with them then the easier it will be for me to maintain, after talking about it we came to the conclusion that healthy eating needs to be second nature for all of us. The best thing about it so far is that she lost 4lbs in her first week I know it's all the stores bit it made her feel good and now only 5 lbs until she's in the next stone bracket which will make her feel good about herself

So sorry to hear about other troubles, Jax sorry abut the card but how is SW going for you and Trisha how's the car doing?

So last weigh in for march and 1lb to lose to hit my march target if I don't hit it I'm gonna be really mad!!! On the positive side of it I've only got 0.2lbs until I'm in the next stone bracket! Hopefully after WI today I'll be back into the 17's!! My scales say I an but I know that they are different to my CDC's. Well I'll keep you all posted and log back in later x

Morning Emma! I really enjoy reading your posts. If I have partner's join I give a £10 per week discount to the second person as long as they are on SS and buy 21 sachets.

I think WW is a fab plan for life as is SW. I think your OH is doing amazing.

Jax that stinks about the card. I only ever had it happen once and they took £798.77 to an online betting parlour and Natwest gave it right back to me.

Disney did you get all your invoicing done?

Trisha how are you?

OH got her job back at her old company. I am being blessed lately.

xx

 

[Emma1904]

Hey quiz, thank you I try to be as entertaining as possible! And well done to your OH for getting her old job back! It's a nice feeling when things go right! X

 

[trisha]

Hi everyone,

quiz well done to your OH for getting her old job back, she must be really pleased.

emma, you'll soon be in the next stone bracket, only 0.2 to go wel done.

Our car only goes in for mot/service a 2 weeks, its also makig a funny noise - not the engine but don't know wthat it is, so they are going to look at that as well :fingerscrossed: it won't cost too much.

I've contacted my cdc today and I'm seeing her tomorrow and restarting ss thursday, although we don't know waht the car is going to cost DH knows I've been wanting to get bck into cd properly so has told be to go ahead, will redo tickers etc after wi, which I'm not looking forward to, I need to get some control back

 

[Emma1904]

Woop Woop! 5.5lbs loss and 3 inches for me this week, my body decided to play catch up after last week! I'm so pleased as it means that I have beat my March target of 14lbs and I'm back into the 17's!!!

Hope every one is having a lovely day and hopefully it is going to be a brilliant week for all!

 

[DisneyParis]

Hey Quiz,

Hope its nothing serious but good luck to you for Saturday.


Well, big family problems yesterday, it appeared that my Aunt arranged for my Nan's ashes to be interred into turf on Friday and didn't let any of us know, we found out on the grape vine, my Dad was so mad. My parents and sister live quite far away and now because of the short notice they can't get here for Friday so my brother and I are going, my OH can't come because she didn't have enough time to get any time off of work and she had yesterday off as we were at funeral of a 22 year old lad which was very sad (OH's friend from school), the whole thing has caused a bit of a row really. So tomorrow Lee (my brother) and I have to go and represent our immediate family, my Mum has asked me to take a pink carnation, apparently it means 'I'll never forget you'. The silver lining in this is that I have not even considered turning to food for comfort, my Nan would be so proud of me.

Sorry if anyone was in a really good mood today and I've bought you down! just feeling a little low :cry:

Fingers crossed for 100% day for all of us and sending you all lots of lovely weight loss vibes :vibes:

x x x

 

[trisha]

Sorry to hear of your troubles Emma well done for staying strong! That's the problem with families it's inconsiderate of your aunt to arrange things without consulting the family.

I've had another 100% day


Quizz hope its nothing serious, good luck for Saturday

 

[DisneyParis]

Quizz, hope everything goes well with your surgery and you have a speedy recovery.

Emma, l can imagine how upsetting this must be for you & the rest of the family, hope everything goes ok tomorrow.

Our schools finish for the Easter hols tomorrow, they are off 2 weeks, then are back for 4 days before Easter. I've still got a lot of client accounting work to do so l'm working tomorrow & next week until we go away on holiday end of next week.
