Just waiting for third thing to go wrong !

I have had speeding ticket yesterday and scraped my car today trying to exit work car park ... Just awaiting disaster no. 3 :giveup:

 

[Yvessa]

Omg omg omg! How did I miss this! Serves me right for not coming on here much! Michelle I'd say do it if you can manage financially and juggle work etc! That was my pre nup contract before conceiving lol! And you know what things always work out!
Yes just look where I am now, about to commit to hubby no 2 at 40 and then pop out a baby...it's all life on the edge (and bloody knackering)!!!!! x

Omg omg omg ... Jo just think what I would be like at my age then...LOL even though I say so myself i don't think i look a day over 45 it will probably never happen for me ... Which is why I am so pleased for people it does happen for. Had my daughter when I was 21 and while I love her to pieces I don't really think I appreciated at the time exactly how lucky I was to have her as I didn't realise how difficult it would be in the future to have another. Are you getting a baby bump now?

For all those worriers ...

After my cakes and cookies gain last week, my weight has dropped by four pounds this week eating c 1450 cals a day. New banders, don't get disheartened, bear in mind fluctuations happen during the month ... Stick to the rules and don't get disheartened by the scales if they don't move or creep up the odd week/day. Drink plenty of water, keep your protein levels high and eat band friendly foods ... You will get there!!!

Afraid so hun...baby bump has arrived yet I'm only 3mth! I'd have hidden it much better this time last year lol x

A £1 bargain is not a bargain ... If u don't need it!!!l

Shoot me, a white toblerone (2 in fact) is not good for me!!! Oh well, damage is done, a brief taste of yummyness followed by realisation I would far prefer something savoury and healthy nowadays. I suppose on a positive note, they are all gone, and I am not going to buy any more. Confession over ... I have moved on now. Signed by mrs "not very perfect today" :sigh:

Sweet spot

For the last two weeks i have been able to eat small three course meals and oodles of other stuff including the obligatory christmas chocolates. Well, the band fill from two weeks ago has definitely kicked in today, I have restriction! I definitely don't need any more fills. Only been able to have yoghurt, latte, veg soup (with all the lovely veg bits fed to the dogs ) and I will follow up with Icecream for dinner tonight. Out with friends and I don't want the embarrassment of leaving my dinner as well as my lunch (bella pasta chicken salad left ...does not feel right to leave food still). Mmmm thank goodness I don't feel this tight all the time

Oh Michelle you do make me laugh! If you can't be naughty every now and then when at goal when can you?!? And at Jo how is it all going? Show us that baby bum of yours. We are going to try for our first one next year so would love to hear about how it is going with the band. Sorry I have not been around in a long while. Changed phone house etc... But hopefully will now be able to keep an more regular eye on you lot! lots of love and to a bright and wonderful 2013 xxx

 

[flutterby1966]

Mis - its lovely to hear from you Hope all is well with you, I look forward to reading more of your updates in 2013, get those fingers tapping on the keyboard and give us some good laughs again!!!!!!

There is still a mince pie in the cupboard with my name on it - which needs eating before new year, obviously and a selection box (OK until its opened and starts to wink invitingly at me) otherwise I am hiding my couple of pounds Christmas gain well under a bright pink onesie, which makes me look like babe (rather than 'a' babe). Does being the proud owner of a new onesie now mean I am bang on trend Methinks not, but omg, after a hectic week or so, I am really going to enjoy my PJ day today. Drinking espressos and reading the sunday newspapers laid on the sofa with my 3 pooches ... oh heaven

Hi Hun,

I was reading some of eggfaces post and know that you've been struggling with the maintaining phase in your head - wondered if this might help?


theworldaccordingtoeggface: What motivates me.

 

[flutterby1966]

loads to you ... thank you ... its great to keep learning from others

 

[Yvessa]

Now that's what I call a perfect level of restriction

Gone are the days when I want 4 or 5 slices of toast for my breakfast.

One slice of Burgen ... Yes, with butter and jam (and no skimping!) half eaten, five minute break, and then second half eaten ... Now that's perfect balance for me, as someone who used to be a reallll bread addict. I LOVE MY BAND and the changes its given me

Got a stinking cold and laryngitis this week, so only had c 1200 cals a day on average over the week, so my weight has dropped to its lowest of 9 st 11. Got a friends wedding today though, so hoping the champagne and food will be flowing bring it on ...

 

[Meggie moo]

Looking forward to getting to that stage Michelle x hope your feeling better and have a lovely day x
