That is a great treat...might join you (not literally!)

 

[Dietninja]

Have a good day folks...

 

[skellybob]

I might get my nails done actually to mot aloud falsies becozof work but there growing like mad on this diet could have a manicure lol good idea

 

[Ginabeany]

Think I will as well end of the month! so strange actually saying that I struggle to grow my hair a decent length but since starting this last year my hair grows a lot quicker and longer!

 

[Jo1989]

Yeah sizes look so different even on people on the same height with different shapes! We always know what suits us best. Its just nice to pick a size and fit comfortably into it whatever shop you go in

Funny you should both say that, normally people find the opposite - my hair stops growing on plan and so do my nails, actually to the extent I don't have to shave my legs nearly so much! Weird how this affects us all, maybe the vitamins needed for hair/nails are lacking in your normal diets?

That is really strange! I have read things where people have had hair falling out! That could be it! Maybe my bodies getting what it finally needs! Even when I went to the dentist he said my diet must have got better as he said they were in a better condition than last time! Seems like it affects loads of things other than just the weight! My diet must have been shocking before lol

 

[skellybob]

Ye honestly my nails av grown loads gonna av to cut them lol

 

[Jo1989]

Yeah don't think its so much that hair falls out its just that new hair stops growing but as its falling out as normal it seems like it.

I don't really mind actually, as my hair goes sooo quickly normally it gives it a nice break ha!

Any weigh ins today? Motivated for week 3 Danni and Gina??

Ahh lol so lucky! I have thin blonde hair so it's all about back combing, hair spray, anything for it to look a bit thicker lol. Yeah I am feeling good actually! Wanting this 4lb to budge by the end of the month! Only thing is next week I have about 4/5 social plans as iv kinda put off seeing everyone so it's all cropped up before my hols so il let you know where I'm going and the choices iv made! Just going to be as good as possible and see where that leaves me with my losses!
Is this you on week 3 now Jo or after Saturday?

 

[Jo1989]

Ha well at least the diet is helping you out!

Week 4 from Saturday My first 'week' was only 5 days though as I wanted to weigh at the weekend.

I'm sure 2 weeks will be fine to lose 4lbs even if you're eating a bit more at social things. Itd be amazing if you lost 5lbs and were in the 8s when you went!!

Ahhh week 4 is brilliant!!! How are u feeling? Do you have any holidays or big things to aim for this year? Or just generally want to feel good!
Ahhh 8st something would be a dream before the hols! My first social meal thing is dinner with the inlaws, my husbands nan is 91 soon and wants to take us out for dinner!! It has a chicken and salad option so il have that, hardest thing will be saying no to the bottles and bottles of prosecco they order!!!

 

[Jo1989]

Well we went to California for our honeymoon last year and loved it so much we're going back in September but that's so far away its not really a proper goal, itd just be nice to be slim for it.

Prosecco will still be there when you're at goal!! Repeat my mantra ha!

[Ginabeany]

Oh wow amazing!! What date did you get married? Yeah I guess it's a long away goal but defo u wana be slim and feel nice for it! Yourl be way into maintenance by then!
I know that's the best thing to remember, your so right! Il keep saying that to myself when I'm there lol

 

[Jo1989]

25th July You?

Lets hope so!! I don't want to regain and be panic dieting for it!

Any goals for you?

Yeah it's sometimes hard to convince yourself with that but then I tell myself if I will want it tomorrow I can have it then and usually I don't want it after the moment has passed!

[Ginabeany]

Lovely! Ours was 26th Sept

Yeah definitely it is hard! I'm just gona always try and make the best choices I can and not go back to old habits. I won't be able to not drink alcohol long term so will stick to vodka soda type drinks, anything like that to help the calories!
No major aims but a few holidays this year so wana try and stay slim for them all really! And like you say not have to crash diet!

My teeth don't get so dirty between breakfast and bedtime on this diet so that is probably why your dentist notice. Eating less and def less sugar.

I found the menu for the restaurant we are going to on-line and I have ordered the spicy chicken salad without the dressing

Have been busy on Twitter this morning. I tweeted a pic of that cardi I knitted and a guy contacted me about a tank top. I thought it was just talk but he has contacted me through my on-line shop and requested a custom order! I have just sent him some pics of possible patterns as he wants fair isle not cables. When he decides and gives me his size I can give him a price. That is when I expect it to either go completely quiet, or for him to say thanks but its too expensive.

But I don't mind as it has now given me lots of ideas for new patterns to write and sell

 

[Ginabeany]

So true about the dentist! That's good news!! Do you think you will give up the teaching and really kick off with your business?

 

[allneedles]

If I had my way Gina I would have given up completely teaching by now. But my husband, who actually paid for my degree, says I should 'keep my hand in'. I guess he is right. And even though I only do a little it still adds up money wise and pays into a pension. At the moment my business is running at a big loss. My brother does my accounts and its like having two husbands sometimes! "Do you realise you spent £300 on wool last month?" lol. Writing patterns is where the real money is because people can't afford to pay me the time it actually costs to knit things as well as the yarn. I would say a hand knit jumper would cost about £190 and that is me not even getting minimum wage.

 

[Ginabeany]

Wow I didn't realise it was that pricey! Lol aww funny about your brother! It's great you have two guys looking out for you!!! And yeah I guess sensible decision to keep in the teaching as well! At least you do something you enjoy as well as your teaching job

 

[Jo1989]

Eurgh feeling grumpy today about being on plan. I think its because I don't think I've lost any weight since Sunday and it only feels worth it if I'm losing what I deem to be 'enough'.

Grump grump grump.
