New Beginnings

[JanD]

Sounds like a great result after a good weekend . Glad you had a good time xx

 

[summergurl]

Well done Mary x

 

[summergurl]

Where u to Mary?xx

 

[kered]

Oh still about Tanya, hooked on words with friends

Jan, I still have soups if you want any of them to give you some variety.

 

[JanD]

Oh HaHa .. I've just asked you if you've still got them in my thread

How many have you got & how much do you want for them? xx

 

[kered]

I will check tomorrow, in work now, and I dont want nothing for them, just inbox me your address and I can pop them in the post over the weekend.

 

[JanD]

Gosh Mary are you sure? I'll pay the postage at least!!
I dont know why i asked how many really - I can use whatever you want to get rid of ... Funny isn't it? I think they're really nice - as long as I just mix them in a cup with a fork, I don't like them beaten with a blender xx

 

[kered]

Honest, I dont want anything, I would rather see them going to a good home than going out of date in my cupboard. Just text me your address and I will post them to you on Saturday. There are a couple of the orange bars you can have too, I dont like them either.

The only ones I do like are the fruit shakes, I have decided to keep those and probably do 6 weeks of exante when I come home from the Mull of Kintyre to lose some weight for Turkey but I will wait and see if I can stick to it with the ones I have before deciding to get any more. Personally I prefer the LT ones myself, but I cant stand the visiting the pharmacy each week

 

[JanD]

You wouldn't 'qualify' at the chemist would you anyway!

I'm lucky liking pretty much all the exante stuff.

Very generous if you Mary - if you're sure. I'll pm my address later when I'm in work & on laptop ... But please let me pay the postage at least xx

 

[kered]

you can buy me a vodka the first time we meet - promise!

Dont know if I would qualify, but I wouldn't fancy the weekly visits, but when I try it again if I stick to it for a week, I will probably order a month of the fruit shakes.

 

[kered]

Right girls, I have decided.

17th of March, I will do exante, fruit shakes only. If I can stick to that for 6 weeks I know I can easily lose 2 stone and get me back to the weight I was when I finished LT and that will see me right for the holidays.

Countdown on.....

 

[summergurl]

Sounds like you got a plan Mary and if you're determined you'll stick to it. Just think, bikini, holiday, bikini, holiday

I'm paranoid that i'm not going to lose any weight whilst 1/2marathon training again like last year when I so desperatly need too!! keep your :fingerscrossed: for me cal counting works this time around!! I only have 15weeks to get off what I need

 

[kered]

With all the extra exercise you are getting at the gym Tanya, I am sure you will lose. Why not have a word with one of the trainers at the gym, and see if they can suggest anything?

 

[summergurl]

I'd feel a bit cheeky tbh as i'm not a 'client'. I'm going to give it a chance, going to give it two weigh ins which will be 4weeks worth and if nothing then I might speak to one of the exercise class leaders.

 

[kered]

Dont worry about trivial things like that chick, all they can do is offer help or not to offer help, nothing lost, nothing gained.

What are you like!! Okay then a few large ones at the famous Monday club eh? x

WOAHHH! Where did that decisive determination come from all of a sudden?? Brilliant!! x

Blimey that week went quick ... I've only just read it's 16 weeks somewhere! :giggle:! x

Great suggestion x

Sounds like a plan - though if you asked first you might do even better in the meantime? Just a thought. x

That'll be a sts then xx

 

[kered]

What are you like.......lol.

The resolve, well it is something I have been contemplating for a few weeks, around the same time that you mentioned you might do it for your holidays, but I thought give it a few weeks to see how it goes, but I just cant stick to a diet when I want to lose a couple of stone, it just seems so slow, so the feeling tonight is do it properly again the TFR route, and STICK TO IT THIS TIME. My problem was when I gave up (or tried) to stop smoking over two years ago (the first time) and that led to a gain of nearly 10lb, only really played around since then and not done anything with 100% committment.
.......................this time, definitely.

I have got visitors again next weekend, Fri - Sun, then Mull of Kintyre March 9th till 12th, so pointless doing anything drastic before then.

 

[summergurl]

Week 1 is almost over Jan :giggle:
I'm getting some advice via twitter do hopefully I can sort it out. Desperately need to lose this weight.

I wish TFR was an option :sigh: xx

 

[JanD]

Yeah - I know what you mean ... anything much over a stone and getting it back off seems endless. I now wish I'd started TFR a few weeks ago. I stupidly thought I wouldn't be able to do it whilst on Jury Service, but I could have - it was just an excuse to put it off really I guess :sigh:
There's no way on the world I'll be able to get it all off before we go away. I'm trying to find a way in my head to be okay with that because I don't want to go away miserable! Shopping for bigger shorts will be very annoying but I'll just have to get over it won't I!!!

I'm glad you've found your resolve .. long may it last! Forgive me but I can't remember whether you're smoking or not at the mo - coz that will have an effect too won't it (sorry ... Baaaaaaad friend not keeping up ) xx

I am still puffing away Jan
