do you know i don't think i will ever work out why it is that you can be so good and literally torture yourself and not lose weight sometimes and others you can really cane it and somehow either stay the same weight or even lose some..must be one of life's great mysteries....

Who said dieting was a piece of cake

She ain't heavy, she's my mother - a diet song favoured by my very cheeky teens (needless to say they are grounded!!)

i just love these quotes.....they really inspire me to try harder and they make it fun too..thanks so much ladies....

You gotta make light of the situation coz if we don't we'll

Have a good day everyone

A heavy weekend for me too - well all weekends are heavy I suppose at my weight

We are socialising a lot this weekend so I am bound to over do it but probably not as much as if I wasn't trying to loose weight.

I will keep struggling but I am very bored with it all now.

Come on everyone lets try to loose at least llb by the end of next week.

If you're counting calories,a good idea to boost your metabolism is to increase your calorie intake by 200 calories (only 200 calories, though! :lol:) for two days and then decrease back down for five days. It actually works...your body gets fooled into thinking you're starting to eat "normally" again.

Afternoon Ladies

I am just about back from the dead. Had two really rough days Wednesday and Thursday but feel a lot better today.

Sounds like everyone had a great weekend, and well done all for losing those pounds and carrying on with the fitness regimes.

Joolz it seems like you are the joker of the pack with all your little ditties - you do make me laugh but hey if we don't laugh at life and what it throws at us then we may as well give up now.

Just reading everyones posts about spinning and seven mile bike rides has knackered me, I prefer the ones about drinking too much voddy and vino, they're less energetic

Like I said in my first post on this topic I am not on a diet or anything I just enjoyed reading your posts and trying to help with a bit of advice from my son, but for some reason this week I have hardly eaten anything where I have been ill but I feel like the women in the Activia adverts 'really bloated'. It may have something to do with the gallons of fluid I have drunk in the last week due to this being pretty much the only thing my throat would let me swallow, but if it has not disappeared in the next few days I think I will be joining you all in the weekly weigh ins and god forbid that I may have to start doing some proper excercise

Keep up the good work ladies

Jackie

Just gone completely berserk and eaten 2 Turkish Delights one after the other I think it's all the excitement of going on my hols on Sunday and only having an hour left to go at work. I have been good for so long, and something just snapped - be my knicker elastic soon if I keep doing things like that - don't know what came over me!!!!

Just been for another power walk around the shops and got me a lovely dress for hols. Its quite clingy material so even if I lose a stone it'll still fit. Avoided Greggs and went to M+S and got a low-fat chicken wrap for lunch and the guy at the till said oh you get a free bar of chocolate with that - honest I'm not joking - so I'll give it to my hubby as a little prezzy when I tell him how much the dress cost!! Then on road home I called into Costa coffee for a cup to take to the car and the guy asked if I wanted any cakes or pastries I laughed and said, hey I'm on a summer diet. He was obviously not a member of H.T

Oooh Meerkat, I love turkish delights (not thaaaaat much fat in them). You're in holibags mode so you're entitled.

Glad you're feeling a bit better Jackie.

Jackie glad you are feeling better now

Joolz, I hope you told the guy about our gang of summer dieters, uhhh and to offer a choccie bar elsewhere, you must look underweight

Have a fab holiday Meerkat you deserve it.

Kazee xx

I was just thinking, If only i could look like my avatar (I WISH!!!!!!!)

I wish it was that easy. Dont you ladies agree?

Kerrie

Hi alsababy

glad I don't look like my avatar

kazee

Thanks Kazee! Just realised how funny it would be to look like your avatar !! Sometimes feel quite like it with my wobbly bits.

Did I mention that my 2 turkish delights actually came in a four pack - dont believe I did........ oh my, how they are calling out to me as I sort through my jewellery box...this has been a bad day all round for me in fact - also had a piece of cake tonight, but I will be back on track to an extent in sunny Cyprus next week. I'm sure someone said there were no calories in a brandy sour.

Meerkat

I am sure after a few Bandy sours you wont give a damn about calories

Have a great holiday

Regards Jackie

Not to worry meerkat(just dont do what i do) If i get up in the morning and so much as put the wrong milk in my tea (full fat instead of skimmed) i think to myself 'well i have blown it now i might as well have a few beers today and a chinese for tea' (think i have just about got the hang of not doing that now).

Kazee your funny But oh how i wish i looked like mine.

I am getting alittle hungry now as i had my SW roast dinner about 4pm (thats all i had today but by all means it wasnt small ) So i think i will poppy off to bed with a cuppa and my book.
I only have to get through tomorrow cos i have saved my sins for drink(for sunday) gonna eat properly too and then off the diet i come on monday (in hols mode then)

Keep up the good work girls.
Kerrie

Hi girls

I have not stopped today. I have just finished doing the house work about half an hour ago, I have been finishing my packing off too and shopping.
All i have had to eat today is a wholemeal pitta and 1oz of cheese and a bit of lettuce. I did cook a pasta n sauce before but i cant be bothered to eat it.
Going to bed now ( now that i have had a moan )

Hope your all keeping well
Speak to you all tomorrow

Kerrie

Alsbaby

you have deserved to have all your sins for today.

Have a fab holiday and forget the diet, you and meerkat deserve a treat. When I go away in 7 weeks time, I will not be dieting nor doing any exercise other than the normal walking, I do like snorkelling though.

Have a fab day all
