Hey Ladies,

How are you all this evening..??

I was up ½ a pound, happy day’s as I thought it would have been more. I went for a lovely long walk with my hubby, really enjoyed it. Just finished the , had a & now going to chill for a bit before bed.

Lisa – Doc’s have no clue & some of them could do with loosing a few lbs too!!

Traskey – I’m sure that your good work will pay off in the end, hang in there xx

Ah Imogen – arrrrggggggg!!! I hope you are enjoying your Vodka cos you deserve it pet, I can’t believe the Dr said that to you, of course you want to get pregnant that’s why your there…

Tarkwa, well aren’t you a great wifey, fair play to you making him a birthday breakfast.Happy Bday to your hubby I use the Hartley’s jellies, I make them up with water, they’re yummy..

Zowiey, I just shouted at hubby for no reason & he said “are “they” on their way!”?? Oh they know us so well!!

Emmy, hope you feel better soon. I’ve just had a & one of your scones would have been lovely!


I love all the smileys

april 1/2 a lb isn't too bad ... I bet you can soon lose it over the next week from looking at your ticker you're doing a fantastic job with the weightloss already

aches seem to be calming down at the moment, it wouldn't be epo causing it so soon, or would it??

hello all

I have dinner envy!! your dinners all sound so tasty the jelly sounds super yum!

Imogen I hope your vodka and coke is going down well!! you deserve it! the doctor sounds like she missed the bedside manner lecture, im far too sarcastic, if a doctor asked me if i really wanted to get pregnant id say something like "no I needed a new hobby and it was a choice of ttc or taking up knitting and the shop had run out of wool so i was stuck with ttc"

zowie sorry to here pms has got you bad, im the same just before af, the day af comes i can actually feel myself calm down instantly, its like i wake up!

tarkwa happy birthday to your hubby!! i hope you enjoy swimming, i like swimming but im really really bad at it my little sister who is 7 said to me "amy you can swim you just dont go forward you just tread water"

emmy, I hope you are feeling better, the thaught of homemade scones is making me want pudding!

Twinkle I LOVE your shoes and skirt in your profile pic!!!!!!

my day was mostly great 5 km walk home from collage, tutoring the most adorable little girl this afternoon and then dinner with my OH's family but on the way home my boyfriend told me that he cant get the time of work for our sking holiday in 2 weeks, i am so deverstated, we were going with my family, because i live away from them it means so much to me when we get to spend time with them. i asked him about 3 months ago if he can have time off and he said yer wont be a problem and i kept asking him he kept saying it would be fine so we booked it all and now he tells me he cant come, i cant even look at him, i try to talk to him and i just cry. i have given up my family and friends and carear to be with him and he cant even plan 1 week properly i just feel really homesick, all i want is some marmite on toast and to watch some english tv with my mum

sorry about the moan, compleatly not ttc or weight loss, hugs to you all xxx

 

[EmmyReece]

lovie - I'm so sorry you're feeling so bad at the moment your oh should have booked the time off as soon as you mentioned it, will you still be going hun? don't apologise at all, that's what we're all here for whether it's ttc, weight loss or anything else

 

[lovie]

thank you for the support emmy the problem is that we are relying on him driving us to and from the slopes, my family is going to hire a car but it wont fit all of us in. I havnt considered if i will go alone,.At the moment i have told him that i dont want him to talk to me untill he has a solution, luckily we have a comfy sofa hehe

 

[EmmyReece]

ohhhh bless ya I hope you sort something out so you can still go

 

[zowiey]

oh lovie, I hope you find a solution soon.


Ok, so af had better show herself soon, I just cried so hard at midsomer murders! I'm such a loser! I'm off to bed now, got a long day tomorrow, and have my weigh in tomorrow night, Joy!

i will catch up properly soon ladies, honest!

[Traskey]

Oh bad hubby's work! Men always think that everything will work out ok and leave it all to the last minute. I am so sorry Lovie, that sucks. You are looking forward to seeing your family so much, i'd be tempted to go anyway. Sounds like it might be just what you need.

 

[lovie]

you are all so sweet thank you emmy, trasky and zowie i hope af comes soon for you zowie and gives your emotions a break, on the plus side crying must use up lots of calories, i tried to find it on my online excersise tracker... it had cleaning, studying, showering... but no crying! i think i might just put it down as running it feels like as much work!!

 

[Tarkwa]

Hey Lovie, men eh?! Who'd have 'em?!?!?! Traskey's right, you should go on your own if your BF can't sort things out. But do try and tell him just how important it is to you that you can all be together. And is there anywhere that you can order some marmite to be delivered to Sweden? I love it, used to eat it on a spoon straight from the jar . My parents have a house abroad and our old neighbour Molly used to ask them to bring a HUGE jar every time they went over! Bless her.

Didn't get to go swimming - DH didn't fancy it and I'm not going on my own if he's at home. Working from home again tomorrow (part time) so I might go before I meet DH for lunch. Then we're off out for dinner so will try and behave (food wise, not in any other way ! Thanks for the DH birthday wishes! We'll have to see if I can get up in time to make him breakfast yet!

Well, I've just watched Midsomer Murders and can't believe it's the last one . Zowiey, I like John Nettles too (not sure if it's the same way you do!).

And I did another OPK about 20mins ago and the line is much paler . I think it might have been too late in the day (instructions said 10am-8pm approx for testing) - that or I'm done O'ing . Will do another one tomorrow and if it's really pale I'll stop POAS , but will get in a b'day !!!
Night night ladies

[Traskey]

Night Tarkwa. Have a lovely day tomorrow, with a nod to the diet but not ruled by it. Birthday's come but once a year

I am off to bed, see you tomorrow! One more day until weigh in. Better get on that wii tomorrow and stepping

 

[Tarkwa]

Well, I made him brekkie, but wasn't quite as healthy as I'd mentioned earlier! I fried the bacon (was taking too long in the oven as it was quite thick cut) and fried his eggs. Served in two little rolls that had been toasted, with fresh coffee (bought back from Columbia by a friend who worked out there last year) and a glass of apple juice. Now we're deciding where to go for lunch. But honestly, I could kill him! I bought him a suit a couple of weeks ago and said he must try it on to see if it fits, and he did that this morning and the trousers were too short!!!! Raaaaarrgh! I don't know whether the suit will have a longer length in stock and the shop doesn't open until 10am - I'm pacing the house right now. I just like everything to be perfect and it wasn't. A bit like this TTC journey - it's out of my control which makes me feel so helpless about it all .

Right, I'm going to have a and head to the gym.
See you later ladies

[lovie]

morning all you are super wife tarkwa!!! your hubby is so lucky! I hope you manage to get the suit situation sorted out, men have to much PMA they just are so breezy about everything they think yer it will be fine no need to check they fit im sure they will!! have a lovely day together good luck with your opk if you do one later, im sure you would have caught that eggy if you have allready OV'd! enjoy the gym im too much of a wimp to go to the gym, im really clumsy and i just imagine falling of a treadmill like they do in the bigest loser so it is strictly private excercise for me! just about to walk to my swedish lesson, I have got 90's hits on my i-phone and a couple of pices of pomalo to keep me going, happy days! still not speaking to my OH- which really isnt conveinient as I should OV in the next couple of days, I wonder if we can BD whith me not speaking to him, maybe i will write him a note!! Oh and i will ask my mum to bring me marmite when she visits, it really is the best thing to have on toast!

 

[twinkle1975]

Lovie thanks for liking my boots - they were my wedding shoes! Its a shame the picture shows by underskirt rather than my dress but never mind! Its the only dress I've worn in about 8 years!

Men have no idea do they?! I came home from a meeting on Tuesday to find DH wasn't here. I was having a really bad day & needed a cuddle so rang him to see where he was - he was out playing snooker with his mate! He swore he'd told me about it but he absolutely hadn't - grr! I hope your BF has got his act together!

I made Irish beef Stew last night from a WW recipe - it was yummy!

I've just googled Pomelo - not sure I like the sound of it but then I don't like grapefruit!

 

[Love2bamummy]

hello all

I have dinner envy!! your dinners all sound so tasty the jelly sounds super yum!

Imogen I hope your vodka and coke is going down well!! you deserve it! the doctor sounds like she missed the bedside manner lecture, im far too sarcastic, if a doctor asked me if i really wanted to get pregnant id say something like "no I needed a new hobby and it was a choice of ttc or taking up knitting and the shop had run out of wool so i was stuck with ttc"

Lovie You crack me up!

I had a great meal yesterday, I had a WW Chicken and Mushroom Pie (9 pro points) then filled up with veggies, delish! I was stuffed!

I want to try the whole lemonade jelly jazz now. Do you add the lemonade before you stir the crystals in or after just before you put it in the fridge? :doh:

 

[Tarkwa]

Hiya Love2! The jelly is so simple, just swap the cold water for lemonade. So dissolve the crystals as instructed with boiling water and then add the fizzy stuff instead of cold water. DH said it's best not to make it up to the full pint so it can set quicker (his mum told me about fizzy jelly - but be warned, they are only gentle bubbles!). We didn't eat ours last night because it was still liquid.

Had a lovely lunch with DH, but had to rush back home because I have the trots! Goodness knows what I ate as it certainly didn't agree with me (don't think it was the lunch as felt a bit off this morning) but my tummy is now empty . I'm hoping that will help my weight loss this week, but I am about to make a batch of apple and toffee muffins (see BBC food recipes). They are deeeelish and will be DH's birthday cake but I will end up feeling stuffed today I know it! But like you say, birthdays come but once a year and it's not everyday I eat out!

Twinkle, I really must get stronger glasses - I thought your boots were ice skates!!! They are so funky - have they got something printed on them? I can't quite make it out (or it could be the glasses again! ).

Just about to shoot out to pick up toffee and apples for the muffins. Might not get a chance to log on again so have a lovely evening.

[Traskey]

Men, bless them. They won't try anything on when in a shop and take forever to try it on at home!

There is some lovely food going on in this thread. We are having beef casserole tonight, a good way of getting lots of veggies in. Mind you that WW pie sounds yummy too

AFM, my weigh in is tomorrow but I snuck on the home scales this morning and I haven't lost a thing. AGAIN! I just don't understand it. I've cut out all the full fat fizzy drinks, no crisps, eating loads more fruit and veggies. Smaller portions and no chocolate, biscuits or sweets. Where am I going wrong?

 

[twinkle1975]

Tarkwa - don't worry you're not the first person on here to think they were ice skates - must be the way I've got my foot! They are cream Doc Martins with butterflies stitched on the side - I'm not a high heels girl so they were ideal for me!
Taskey - are you follwing a diet or just going it alone? Are you sure you've not cut down too much? I know that sounds daft but our WW leader said if you eat to little your body goes into starvation mode & refuses to burn fat - the same happend to by DH - we finally worked out he should be eating 44 points a day & he was only eating 21!!

 

[Traskey]

I am doing WW but I am doing it online. I'm following the points. Most days I use them all, a couple of days and I had a few left over, nothing major. I'm eating breakfast, which I never used to do before. I initially lost some pounds but since then nada ( I don't mind losing only a little at a time, although I need to lose more a lot faster, but this losing nothing is driving me nuts

Anyway, sorry for venting
