glad to see you both still on here

it's nice to come back and still see others around. guess it shows what a great forum it is..... we always end up back here!

 

[Taz]

I never leave karen!

 

[mod-karen79]

you're the backbone taz!

 

[Taz]

I am?

 

[emski]

I came back a while ago but it didnt feel right somehow.. it had lost some of the friendliness for me.. so heres hoping this time xxx

 

[Taz]

There's been some funny spells, I've found. There have been times where a lot of the old crowd dropped off and a load of newbies were joining. I haven't ventured beyond my subscribed threads for a while so I don't really know whats going on out there!

 

[emski]

Well I shall log in every other day and just see how the land lies lol

 

[mod-karen79]

I am?

i'd say. you're always here offering support, even when you're having your own struggles.

i rejoined last night and OH MY GOD i'm the heaviest i've EVER been in my LIFE! boooooooooo hoooooooooo i'm at a weight i promised myself i'd never get to! ....but onwards and downwards!

 

[Taz]

Emski do you have a diary?

karen, I know how you feel. Although I haven't gone back to my starting weight I have put on about 2.5 stone of the 4 I once lost and it is very depressing. But as you say, it's a fresh start - onwards and downwards x

PS it's very nice of you to say that x

 

[mod-karen79]

you've got to get your head in it taz and the rest will follow. i know my head will only stay in it for so long, so i'm going to try a few new techniques like taking photos and measurements. i've also got a hypnotherapy CD for weightloss and i'm gonna draw up a pro's & con's sheet to look at when i'm struggling.

Thats a great idea.

Just looking at your food, have you tried the Asda veggie sausages? They do lovely lincolnshire ones that are only 1 Syn each!

 

[mod-karen79]

can't remember whether i've had the asda ones - i think i might have a long time ago. i'm not so keen on the quorn ones as i think they're very tasteless...even the fancy ones! those cauldron ones are very tasty and i'd only have them for a treat really cos of the syn value... but they are sometimes worth it
i do eat the quorn ones though because they're free...had some this morning for brekkie.

I know what you mean, I'm not so keen on the Quorn ones either. Try the Asda ones if you see them, they are really nice and great for the Synage!

 

[mod-karen79]

will do.

to be completely honest i'd forgot all about them... might stock up in the freezer. nowt like a sausage sandwich when you're starving!

 

[Taz]

mmmm and the lower Syn the better!

 

[mod-karen79]

i really do need to use my weekends more constructively. had loads of spare time to cook some food and sort my breakfast out for work, but did i do it? NOOOOOOO!!!

ended up chucking some fruit in a carrier bag for breakfast and got a tin of soup in the boot of my car for lunch! ...got a little stockpile of free foods in the boot of my car.
