Lol...thanks for that Gail!

Ok, so I'm still within target, but its early days. I've been here before and like so many others I've put my weight back on again :(

I'm not doing that this time...

Blimey...don't think I dare to with sis Gail keeping an eye on me!

Val, we'll both get Gail to keep us on the straight and narrow shall we? :)

Hi Val.. How long ago did you reach target? A massive well done !!!
Thanks for checking up on me .. I need the biggest kick up the backside you can give at the moment.. There is always an excuse ( well there arent any valid ones really ) though this weeks is maybe a bit more understandable.. I have a mild stomach problem which has been going on a week now and when I eat I get gripping pains in my guts.. If I dont eat I get excessive hunger gripes !! Mad.. Anyway , I have a massive phobia of vomiting so there is no way I would put an eating plan before calming my insides ..Actually its quite an embarrassing phobia at times especially as a teacher .... get this .. I started nurse training at 18 . I lasted 12 weeks and spent a fair bit of that hiding away in the toilet ..
Anyway, I digress ( sp ?) this was to say well done to you not whinge about me ..so well done again Val..

:wavey: hi diana i only got to target on tuesday :rolleyes: re ur stomach problem u haven't got gallstones have you my daughter was suffering the same thing she was crying with the pain she had to have a scan and has massive gallstones and is on the waiting list to have her gallbladder removed :eek: it might be worth looking in to. i was going to give u a kick up the bum but decided a :bighug:was in order x hopefully when the pain gets better u will be able to get back on track just don't forget we r all rooting for u (don't think i've spelt it right but looked funny with a u in it lol ) hope u soon feel better xx
 
Well Valerie! Just look at you!

When I first joined minimins, you were one of my first inspirations (and Friends) alongwith the likes of Shrimpy (now a mollusc and another target maintainer). I also got to target, but wasn't disciplined to stay there!

Losing it is easy, keeping it off isn't! - at least in my experience.

Anyway, I stand to be happier over the next few weeks as I have a Florida trip to lose - I might even get a SOTW award as I stopped getting those ages ago;)

Well done on getting there!

Well done Val! There's no stopping you now. Do you still have to go to meetings if you're maintaining? What will you do if Boots run out of Shapers mint choc bars??

PANIC LOL thanks pomooky i couldn't get them from my local boots had to go to another town bought 5 boxes :eek: they are a godsend. i don't have to go to class every week now but i will because i do the weighing which is great for me keeps me on the straight and norrow ish. i was a bit naughty last night my daughter had given me a bar of chocolate i had 4 squares the other day which was 7 syns i had forgotten it was in the fridge :rolleyes: i had 4 squares then took another 4, so 15 syns worth of chocolate :eek:
there were 8 squares left so put them in the dustbin cause i didn't trust myself not to carry on eating it, so although i didn't control myself by eating it in the first place at least i had the sense to get rid of it in case i ate the lot (something i wouldn't have done pre getting to target) anyway hope ur ok have a good day love val xx

Hi there Val,

I just googled the shape mint bars as I'd never heard of them! They sound lovely! Are they really worth 4 syns? I might try them next time I'm in town xxx
