Bellys to Bumps

[Traskey]

Good morning everyone

I haven't been to a 70s and 80s night in ages! Would be fun

Hope your diets are still going well. I always find the weekends the hardest, all that time on my hands

 

[Lil_Pixie]

I didn't enjoy it so much when I went tbh - it was all a bit before my time! Haha I don't remember the 80s at all!

 

[lovie]

im sure all the dancing got rid of the vodka calories! what fun to go to a 70's 80's ight! the only 80's music i really remember of the 80's is what my mum listened too so lots of the cure... great music tho.. much better than most of the rubish around now!

so i have eaten to much and used all my ww extra points... a portion of pasta is so small!!

[Traskey]

Oh I know. It was one of the only things I found tough on WW. A portion of potatoes and a portion of pasta. I realised I must have been either a) seriously overeating or b) their idea of a portion was based on some alien

Aww where did you go twinkle? I went to a 70s & 80s night at tiger tiger a few weeks ago. I'm glad to had a lovely time.

I spent the whole day today with the mil in the sun watching the men work, it was wonderful!

Hope everyone else is having a lovely sunny weekend xx

We just went to a local hotel - its a bit like being at a wedding - you can dance & have a laugh without worrying about lairy old men!

Oh my life I feel SO old now!

I showed DH how much rice he'd be getting if I actually used the amount shown in the a WW recipe he was like -

 

[lovie]

no your not twinkle!! are you born in 1975? your only 9 years older than me! i just didnt have much music choice when i was 6 i just had to listen to whatever was on! it sounds great to have it at a hotel! i hate that bit of the evening where you get the sleezy guys coming over and wanting to chat.

the pasta is just rediculous i had 2 portions and it was still alot less than what i would usually have (greedy guts that i am!) I think i need a smaller plate!

Phew - I'm just feeling ancient today - I was talking to someone on the Girly Sanctuary during the weekend & I am actually old enough to be her mother (hence my signature! - trying to make light of it instead of blubbing!)
I really struggle with pasta - I coudl eat a huge bowl of it & I feel starving when I have the miniscule WW portion allowed (or 2!)
I'm going to have to be really good for the rest of the week as we've had 2 picnics this weekend & a dominos pizza!

 

[Traskey]

Awww, I really wanted to have a picnic this weekend too. I made one for DH on Friday and we met in the park for lunch. He had his picnic and I had my shake. It was so lovely to sit on the grass and just relax. I never usually get a lunch hour as i'm driving to the next lesson. It's been so lovely to have this nice weather

 

[Tarkwa]

Well, I reckon we've had our summer now! Those few days of sunshine were glorious, and with DH working out in the garden he's turned a lovely colour.

I thought I'd let you ladies now that although my weight is like a yo-yo I weighed myself this morning and was 91.5kg, which is only 200g up from my lightest weight so far! My eating habits are yo-yoing too - one minute I could eat like a horse, then next, everything repulses me which is possibly helping to keep my weight down!

Well done to everyone who has lost weight, and to those who haven't been so lucky lately.

I hope everyone is well, and I'm sure I'll be about on here again soon.

Good evening ladies, hope you've all had a good weekend?

Traskey picnic sounds lovely! Definitely nowhere near that warm here, not all of the snow is gone yet!

Lisa I'm 32 (born in '78), so you're not ancient - you're only 3 years older than me! So no more talk about being old, cause that would mean I am too, and I refuse to be old just yet!

I'm home from my weekend at my parents'. Went to the movies with my friend on Sat, saw Black Swan finally and found it quite disturbing, to be honest. Good but sorta shook me up.

My sister had brought more of their old baby stuff over to my parents' place. And of course mom had to point it out "Look, now there's even a high chair!". *sigh* Yeah. My sister asked me like 3 years ago if I'd like for her to save some of their old baby stuff for me, and I said okay. Now I'm sorta wishing I hadn't. What if we never need it? It's a constant reminder of what's NOT happening for us!

Well, aside from that, I had a really good weekend. Didn't think of ttc much, which is VERY rare for me! Was great to meet up with my friend and talk about everything, hadn't seen her in several months. Everyone kept commenting on what a great job I've done with losing weight, so that felt great. =) Even managed a good session of zumba on Sunday before driving back! Well, I also had some chocolate today on the drive back, and ate a little more than I should during the weekend, so am expecting a bit of a gain, but who cares? =) Also expecting af Mon-Wed, can't quite say 'who cares' about that, but I'm trying to be prepared mentally.

How are you all?

 

[Traskey]

Hey Strawberry, I am impressed you managed to squeeze in some exercise whilst you were visiting your family. I'm sorry that your mum was hinting about the lack of grandchildren. Do you ever want to scream, "We are trying! It just isn't happening for us!" I have been known to want to but i've never done it. As we are officially infertile, no conception over a year, i've thought of saying that too but I know it would make people feel uncomfortable so I just say nothing.

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Yes, I wanted to snap her head off and tell her that we bloody well can't have children, it seems! But I'm a private person, and my dh even more so, so we'll have to talk about telling our families at some point. I don't think we'd do that before we knew what was wrong and what kind of treatment we need (if any) or if we know we'll be childless for good. I don't think I could deal with their disappointment, worry, walking on eggshells etc on top of my own feelings, if you know what I mean? In other ways I'm sure it would help, as I wouldn't get these unfeeling comments anymore.

My weight was even slightly down this morning, perhaps my weekend won't show until tomorrow or so?

 

[twinkle1975]

eugh - just talking on FB to a girl I met at work earlier in the year - wasn't that keen on her as she was a bit of a judgemental type & quite self absorbed. She & her husband have started ttc this month - af is due on Thursday. If someone else I know gets a BFP on their first month I shall scream! I know that makes me a bad person but I can't help it!

 

[Traskey]

Twinkle, that doesn't make you a bad person. I'm sure we've all been there. I know I have! When it takes so long to conceive I think it's inevitable that you can sometimes feel that way. Don't feel too bad

Hi

Just in case youre interested, I worked on the 4 weddings which is on sky living tonight. Im one of the interpreters so some of it is my voice, ive not been on yet. I worked at the welsh wedding so lets see!

[Lisa84]

[cranberry987]

Oh and this one has a real twist to it, wait and seeee

 

[Lisa84]

Are you actually on it or a voice over? xx

 

[cranberry987]

Just voice over as far as I know, but they might have caught me a bit, like the other interpreters theyve shown for a few secs so far.
