I saw a 17 on the scales this morning for the first time in ages!! Sorry I know that only means something to me as I'm a bit of a heifer but am just really chuffed!!

 

[twinkle1975]

FFS! Happy feeling didn't last long - annoying girl I mentioned before is pregnant on her first cycle!

 

[twinkle1975]

and she's not even taking folic acid - fricking hell!

Evening ladies!

twinkle awww I'm sorry, it's so annoying when that happens - it seems there's just no justice in this world eh? But congrats on the 17!

Traskey guess there isn't a whole lot of variety in the shakes huh? Sorry you're having a hard time, but I admire you too for sticking to it!

Thank you ladies for your well wishes, I really appreciate it a lot.

Urgh twinkle, thats so lame. Im sorry. I do think tho that you'll appreciate it more when you get it. She'll probably moan and groan through her pregnancy and ultimately not enjoy it. Once you get preg you'll remember the struggle and will value things so much more.

I believe in balance, not quite karma, but some areas we have easier in our lives and some harder. For example, friend of mine got preg first try, but her husband is like a little boy-child and is terrible with money. Theyre going on to America on honeymoon Sunday for 3 weeks and he has no money at all, so shes having to raid the rest of her savings. She had already spent most of it on the stupid wedding he wanted. She worked on a cruise ship for years and saved thousands and just when they need it, its all gone.

I hope this helps a bit, things will get better with time. Youll wake up tmw and itll hurt a bit less, then less the day after.

Big hugs and congrats on breaking the new stone barrier

Aww I'm sorry twinkle - it always sucks whn that happens.

I don't think people are able to appreciate the miracle pregnancy really is if they don't have to work for it. When you get your bfp you'll appreciate every second - I work with a girl who keeps telling everyone how mch she hates being pg - I don't know what planet shes on!!

Congrats on getting down into a new stone bracket - it always gives me a new boost to keep going.

Strawberry we're all hoping for the best for you hunnie - I hope you manage to get some sleep tonight x

Welcome back Zowiey!!! Glad you had a super time and don't worry about the few pounds you'll soon lose those again.

Hi and hugs to Emmy and LP.

 

[twinkle1975]

Thanks for putting the link up Tarkwa for Strawberry's journal

Hope you've all had a good day and have something nutritious and delicious planned for dinner! I am so sick of shakes.

Go Traskey! We're all really proud of you!!

 

[Traskey]

Oh you wouldn't be Twinkle, if you read my journal yesterday. After a week of no loss due to af I put something in my mouth I shouldn't have Good job it was just one eh?

Anyway, moving on, new day Hope you have a good one!

 

[EmmyReece]

Traskey, even after your teeny, tiny slip up, I still think you're doing brill ... you've loads more willpower than me.

I think today, I'm going to make myself a meal plan for next week and see if I can stick to it. I've seen some yummy recipes for like chicken burgers and salmon fish cakes on the good food website, and I'm going to get kinect set up so that I can get in some exercise too

I don't know if this sounds like a stupid idea, but what I was thinking of doing, was when the summer sales come around, ordering a pair of bikini pants and a bikini top from very or additions direct in a size 24 and using them as a goal if that makes sense?

At the moment I'm thinking of this set ...

 

[Lisa84]

I think getting clothes that are a few sizes smaller is a good motivational tool hun. I have done that with jeans in the past. If i have liked a pair and they don't do it in my size i have bought the size smaller and slimmed into them xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

thanks hun ... thought I was being a bit crazy by wanting to do it

 

[Traskey]

I can't see the pic Emmy but I love the idea. Give yourself something to head towards but not so far that you feel you can't achieve it. Finding motivational things is always a good idea I love the jeans idea too Lisa.

 

[EmmyReece]

I've saved the pic and attached it, so it should work now

 

[Traskey]

Now that's lovely Emmy! Very funky Absolutely go for a goal, i'm sure it will help.

 

[twinkle1975]

That is very lovely Emmy - I've got them to order my bridesmaids dress for august in the smaller of the 2 sizes I fall between so I've GOT to keep on with the diet!

 

[Traskey]

Twinkle, you are doing so brilliantly with the diet. I know you are going to fit into that smaller dress. I bet you'll have to have them take it in for you by August
