I've started, and I WILL finish fabulously (that's the plan anyway) :)

[peaches10]

Had better my lovely! Surrounded by horrible people and I can't do a thing about it, arrgggghhh!!
I just don't know what to do for the best - I can't pretend to like them because I'm not that sort of person, but if I delete them from facebook, that will cause problems for hubby, and I don't think it's fair as he's stuck in the middle of all this, even though he sides with me re the smoking malarkey.
Think I need some divine intervention, lol!!

Hope you've had a lovely day? xxx

Ohh no Nat, this sounds awful, and its such a shame there taking it out on Max, how mean and hurtful not to comment on his pictures!! U could just block them all on fb then they would think u have gone off fb....

Ur absolutely right about the smoking situation, try not 2 let them get u down sweetie xxx

 

[NatM70]

I know Peaches, I'm not upset for me, I'm upset for Max. She bleats on about how much her grand-kids mean to her, yet she's no ignoring her youngest, just weird if you ask me!
Oh well, no doubt he'll figure it out for himself when he's older - I just hope he never blames me for keeping him away.

I could delete them all, but I actually quite like one of my SIL's, and would hate to do that to her - yet I would have to if I deleted everyone else!
Just don't know what to do. I don't use FB a lot, but I like to keep up with people on there - I just don't want to see any more snidey comments which I know are aimed at me!

Thanks lovely, I'm sticking to my guns. his little lungs are more important than their ego's!

Enjoy the rest of your evening, and THANK YOU, I do feel a little better - a problem shared and all that!

Hmm u could change ur settings so u can't see there posts, not sure if u can do that actually... u can defo stop them from seeing ur posts/pics etc though.

Night Nat xxx

Don't let this FB stuff get to you my lovely :hug99: It's all silly anyway. She's just being a bit of a cow - but don't let it upset YOU. That way she's winning.
Max will grow up and will develop his own relationship with OH's family - for now, her not liking his photos are only getting you down, he's just a baby and doesn't know the difference! I'm sure once he's walking and talking she won't be able to resist his charm

Give it time. Things will settle down.

[NatM70]

Thanks Peaches, I'm going to - had enough of seeing all their cr-ap, and if she can't be bothered to like photo's of her grandson, she aint looking at any more!

Night lovely, sleep well xxx

 

[NatM70]

Thanks Minerva,

I'm not going to allow them to get to me any more. And hubby can take care of them from now on, whether he likes it or not - I've had enough of it, so he can bloomin well sort it all, cos I am over-and-out on this one!

She's the one missing out - sod her, she's not worth it!
She's not spoiling one more day, especially tomo!!

She can go to hell and stay there as far as I'm concerned.

Night lovey, sweet dreams xxx

 

[Lou_G]

Morning Lou!

Tell me about it lol!! Nightmare, but I'm not going to let them get to me - they're not worth it!

Thank you! It's been a breeze compared to what I thought it would be! Think that's why I can stick to it, because it's really easy (apart from when TOTM is due, then I am freakily hungry lol!).

When's your first official weigh in due, Monday? Looking forward to hearing your results, it's exciting hearing how well everyone is doing!!

Have a FAB day!!

Yes official weigh in tomorrow can't wait!!

Happy mothers day

 

[beelishy]

Happy 1st Mother's Day, lovely lady! xx

 

[NatM70]

Yes official weigh in tomorrow can't wait!!

Happy mothers day

Whoop! Please get up extra early to let us know your results!! Exciting!!

Thank you, just having a quick look on here, then a dash upstairs to get ready to go out!
Excited (like a big kid lol!!).

Have a FAB day!

[NatM70]

Happy 1st Mother's Day, lovely lady! xx

Aww thank you Kelly!

And a VERY Happy Mother's Day to you too!
May your day be as fabulous as you are!

[Periwinkle]

Happy Mother's Day!!! The first of many well deserved special days for you and the lil one!!!

 

[NatM70]

Aww, thank you my lovely

I hope you have a really lovely day too!

What are you up to? Something nice I hope

Just off to Mum's to take her pressie's and card, then going to have a bite to eat - as long as I stick to pure meat and a bit of veg, I know I'll be okay - I am not being a slave to this diet, yet I'm not cheating either, because the foods I choose are all 'allowed', and I think we need to do this every now and again to keep us sane lol!
I've done it a couple of times now and it's not affected my weight loss. It's good we can still have a social life too!

Enjoy your day!

[NatM70]

Well, I am in a brilliant mood, and I can only put it down to one thing - TOTM arrived this morning. Don't think I've ever been so pleased for it to arrive lol!

My hunger has gone, my mood has lifted, and not even those doughnuts I'm related to by marriage could upset me now!

I think the best form of revenge is to be HAPPY, and that's what I intend to do!
My life is good, I have all I want (though one more LO would be nice!), so I have nothing to complain about!

Had a LOVELY 1st Mother's Day, and have been spoiled by my baby (hubby of course lol!!). I also took my Mum's pressie's and cards over (got her one from Max too!), and she was thrilled - I just love to put a smile on her face! She's very special, my Mum
Saw my Sis, BiL, and their kiddies, well not really kiddies any more - Meg is 13 and Harvey is 15, yikes! Was lovely to all be together as a family. Sis is so busy, I don't get to see that much of her, so it was a really nice afternoon.

So yesterday I boosted to over 1,000 cals - my little experiment to see if it has an effect on the metabolism (carbs were 40g only).
I've gone over again today, as we ate out at lunch due to it being Mother's Day - only gone over cals a little, but carbs are below 40g, so all is good.
I'll also no doubt go over tomorrow as it's Mum's birthday, and we're taking her out for a meal.

I'm really okay with this, because I know without a doubt, it is impossible not to lose weight on anything less than 800 cals per day!

However, I am worried about this starvation mode thingy - if that is what I am in, it could potentially slow down weight loss as the body attempts to keep a hold of as much as it can to survive. In the short term, I don't think it's anything to worry about, but in the long term, I don't think it's a great way to treat the body.
I don't want it to slow down my metabolism either, hence introducing one day a week @ 1,000 cals, and no less. But NO MORE than 1,200 cals, as that could send me out of ketosis.

I'm going to try it and monitor it and see what happens.

When I first started this diet, I was a complete slave to it! I don't cheat, but if I go a little over on the 'allowed' foods, but keep carbs low, I know I can't go far wrong.

Hope you've all had a great day?

I'm going to chill now and watch mindless TV, lol!!

[peaches10]

Hey Nat,

I will look forward 2 seeing how ur experiment works out. I don't think the extra cals will make any difference as long as the carbs r low, look at people who do atkins, they can consume lots of cals and still lose vast amounts of weight and quickly. I personally think a few extra cals on odd days boosts ur metabolism and gives it something 2 do lol xxx

 

[beelishy]

Sounds like an interesting experiment! What sorts of things will go over on, on those days? Like protein stuff? I cant wait to see what happens! I think you may be on to something, you know!

Im glad youve had such a great day and I hope you have a great day tomorrow with your Mum! xx

That's my thinking too Peaches

Also, when hubby diets, he's careful throughout the week (though by no means starves himself), and every Saturday, he has a humongous Indian - enough for both of us and some left over lol!
He doesn't lose weight for a couple of days then bang!, he loses a few pounds in one go!

So, I know that is works - and I figure it's because it boosts the metabolism.

I'm interested to see what happens - hopefully this will trick my body out of starvation mode so it burns just fat, and not muscle, etc.

I'll keep you posted! xxx

Yes, protein only - keeping carbs as low as poss, and definitely below 50g. Will be either eggs, chicken or salmon, though I am going to have to look in to the nutritional facts re each one, as some are higher in fat, i.e., eggs.

Mind you, we're eating so little fat, I can't see that making a difference!

Or may be some days, low carb veggies - vary it, see what happens

Thank you, and I hope so! Taking her shopping for her BD pressie, as I tried to get it on Friday, but they need her with me. She's coming over for about 9.30am, so we'll get straight off, then can have a relaxing day before going out for yet another meal late tomo afternoon!

It'll be strange on Tuesday, going back to this diet with only one day pw over 1,000 cals - I've been having a bit extra for last few days cos of TOTM being due and going out, etc., so I need to start getting used to less again! It's not done any damage SO FAR! - I've lost a bit this week, though I didn't weigh today - I finally decided I am not going to be obsessed with the scales!

Enjoy the rest of your night lovely! xxx

 

[NatM70]

Goonight Ladies!

not weighing till Tuesday - I've been good today and not been near the scales!

I figure, with TOTM starting, I probably wouldn't see much loss, if any at all, so why make myself miserable every morning!!

Any loss this week will be good - I'm still going in the right direction and that's what counts!

Having a problem though - I live in my jeans!
The one's I was wearing now sag terribly, yet my usual one's are still too tight - there's nothing worse than something being too tight when one has extra weight, so I am not going for that look lol!

Roll on Spring so I have more choice - I am not buying a pair of jeans just to see me through the next couple of weeks (hopefully!!).

Sweet Dreams! xxx

 

[Lou_G]

what a nice dilemma to have though, jeans too big !

You'll be back into your regular jeans in no time

 

[NatM70]

Good Morning Lou!

How're you?

I know, I shouldn't complain lol! Be great to be back in my 'old' one's though!

Have a FAB day!!
