Emmy sorry for FF taking your crosshairs off.

Yay for the weightloss Tarkwa! Traskey I hope you feel better soon. Hope lovie's interview went well. =)

Happy Valentine's day to everyone!

Here the scales are still refusing to budge, -0.5lbs or -0.2kg difference to a week ago. I just don't understand my body. I have had at least 1000 calories' deficit each day (except that one where I had no deficit to speak of) and still the result is this. Grr. And other weeks that I've eaten more, still the same result, so I don't think the reason is that I eat too little.

Hope you ladies have a good day!

 

[lovie]

so sorry to here that strawberry I dont understand dieting sometimes. there is so much advice its hard to keep up with it all. Tarkwa recomended a book that might help it around a week ago so if you skip back a few pages it will be there. I think she said you can read it online aswell. half a pound is still half a pound less than you were, frustrating tho i know xxx

my sports bra arrived today ... it's soooooooo comfy and when I had a bit of a jump up and down there was very little jiggling ... I may have to order myself another one

and my trainers have come too, so I'm feeling loads more motivated than I did first thing this morning, so what if ff took my cross hairs off me, I'm on my way to losing my weight so that I CAN get my

you ladies are the best, big, big

 

[lovie]

yay em im so glad your feeling good!! fantastic that you got a good sports bra! enjoy being able to jump as much as you want!!!

 

[NGRidley]

I have tried putting the the fat pictures on my fridge too.....all I did was go "wow I was huge" and grab something out of the fridge. Didnt really help motivate me.

I know how you feel strawberry with the weightloss.....the only think i can suggest is to make sure you mix it up as in what you eat each day. Dont eat the same things every day because that can slow your metabolism.

I went out for dinner and a movie the other day with DH and a couple of friends and I was very proud of myself.
While they all ordered pasta dishes, I had a salad that contained fruit, walnuts, goat cheese and balsamic dressing. AND at the movies I just brought a bottle of water.
Hopefully I can keep this up!

Strawberry ~ I feel your pain. I was stuck for three weeks and then just lost a pound. I find it very frustrating so i've upped the exercise to see if that helps.

Emmy ~ wahoo on the sports bra! Glad it fits well. I had to get my eyes checked this morning in town and managed to find a new swimsuit in M+S that fits properly (and I can still breathe in )

NG ~ Well done on being so good at the cinema and restaurant! It's so tempting to fall off the wagon when out and about so you did brilliantly.

Lovie ~ Hope the interview went well!

Tarkwa ~ Hope the car doesn't cost too much and congratulations on the weight loss. That's brilliant. My scales used to jump around each time I got on them so ended up getting a new set.

hi all

ngridley that is so good of you!! I avoid the cinema, the popcorn just smells so nice when you 1st walk in. if i do buy popcorn sweets for the cinema i am such a greedy guts they are usually gone by the time the film starts!

the interveiw went fab i got offered a trial place im super happy its teaching children english through plan and crafts and singing and so on, i cant wait thank you for all your kind words about the interveiw it made me feel really confident!

i have a dilema, my OH wants to take me out for dinner to celebrate, I have the ingredients to cook a lovely dinner (paprika pork curtesy of the lovely tarkwa) but he doesnt like to go out usually too much money and all that mens logic... so should i let him take me out and cook tomorrow even tho it will be cheating a little on the diet or should i say no i will cook? xxxxx

 

[Traskey]

CONGRATULATIONS LOVIE!!

That's fantastic, well done you. I am sure that you will be brilliant and will sail through your trial.

As for dinner, I would let OH take you out for dinner. If it's a rare thing, would be a shame to waste it Then you can cook the lovely paprika dish tomorrow. Two gorgeous meals in a week. Just be sensible for the rest of the week

 

[EmmyReece]

yay congrats lovie

I say go out tonight and do the cooking tomorrow, my oh doesn't like spending money and he was very generous today, got me 3 books, some fruit, some bits from morrissons and he paid for lunch. I say go for a celebratory meal tonight and then have a valentines day meal tomorrow

yay for finding a new swimsuit Traskey I need to buy a new one at some point soon, but we only have Evans' in town, so I might just order one off the internet and keep everything crossed I get the fitting right.

NGRidley you have more will power than me, good on you for your food choices while you were out and at the cinema

I'm feeling quite crampy this afternoon so I've got back into my pjs now we're home. Chris has been a complete and utter sweetheart and treated me loads while we were out

I'm kinda hoping that af decides to make an appearance soon, or I might contemplate doing a month of the bcp to see if that kick starts things for me.

 

[Traskey]

I just thought I would post this. Weight Watchers posted it about diet myths. Number 4 really shocked me, I was sure this was one of the reasons I was going wrong!

Hi Ladies

Hope you are all well!! I had a really bad weekend AF came and Its devastated me, more so than ever before, I just cannot imagine being a Mummy anymore!! had my weigh in this weekend and lost another 5lb which was great made me feel better thats 24lb lost and my cycle is still like clockwork!!

Having a nice romantic night on the sofa with my DF tonight and my little doggy Digby is 2 today!! (he's my replacement baby)

Anyway Happy Valentines to all you lovely's

xxxxx

 

[BranDivah]

Congrats lovie! Send me some of that luck! I'm still waiting to hear back from my interview . Happy for you though!!

 

[StrawberryTTC]

Congrats lovie!

Bagpuss I know how you feel, I can't imagine getting that bfp anymore myself, let alone a bump and a baby. That's what a long time of bfns does to you...

Traskey yeah it's funny how hard those diet myths are to shake! So many people believe them with all their heart. I've read up so much on the topic that I've shaken those particular myths long ago. Which just means I know all the theory but it's the practice that's hard!

Marking today down as cd1 though af kinda started yesterday. My least favourite day of all time, cd1. Gah. Been off diet today, with chocolate and stuff, but I'll be back and toeing the line tomorrow. Just had to give myself a day off, feeling very bad today.

Lots of coworkers have either had babies this past year, or become grandmas (a few of those the past few weeks...) and often it seems there's no other topic for conversation at lunch time or during coffee break except babies, how wonderful they are, how wonderful it is to be a mother/family/grandmother etc etc and I just feel like stabbing myself. Nobody knows we're trying, of course, and I'm finding it harder and harder to deal with all this baby talk these days. During af it's hardest.

Good night to all you lovely ladies!

 

[EmmyReece]

you're allowed off days hun, and as you say you'll be back on the case tomorrow

I'm so sorry you have to listen to all the baby talk at work hun it must be pretty difficult but your turn will come hun, and you'll be the one talking about your pregnancy and then your little babba

 

[Tarkwa]

Really quick one from me - will do a proper post tomorrow.
Lovie - WOW!!! CONGRATULATIONS on the new job - we knew you'd do it!

Get Håkan to take you out and make him dinner tomorrow - you have to celebrate in STYLE tonight!

[imogenwanted]

well done on the new job lovie
hope yu like your new trainers em
happy birthday digby

hope you all have fab evening


xxxxxx

 

[NGRidley]

Lovie - definietly go out for dinner! If you are worried about being of plan, you can still watch what you eat. My first suggestion is that eat till youre satisfied no matter what it is that you choose

As for the diet myths.....I always hate when people tell me not to eat after a ccertain time of day. I lost my weight before eating dinner at 8pm and going to bed by 10. THat was with a desert too
