Robbin ~ I'm glad your boss let you leave early with no problems. He sounds like he could be quite intimidating! I'm feeling a little better tonight, but after eating dinner, I feel a little bloated now. Thank you for the compliments in my daughters.

Lois ~ Great job with your weight being back down! Also, thanks for the compliment on the personals.

Well I hope everyone has a wonderful evening and we'll all be back tomorrow to do some more chatting.

Well, I suppose technically it would be classed as sci-fi as the premise is about time travel - but the bulk of the book is set in the past so it's history too. And there's a bit of romance in there.

When (not if) it's published I'll be sure you give you all a link to the Amazon page

Well, I went out shopping today and bought a nice pair of size 14 trousers in navy. Their lightweight linen blend so they'll be perfect for school this summer. They are a tiny bit tight as yet but they do fasten. And I bought two new bars - the 'push em up and squish em together' type. I'm a 40D but as I've lost weight the girls have started to head south so these give them a bit of a boost.

AND!!!

I looked at a lovely white lacy short-sleeved blouse on the hanger. I picked up the 16 and then thought "Oh - let's see" and picked up the 14 instead. Now this was not a stretchy top, which I can get away with - this was a fitted, buttoned blouse and I thought no way am I going to squeeze my 40Ds into that. But I did. And it fastened. And it looks really nice!!!



I think one of the best things about losing weight is all the new clothes you can buy! Although it would be nicer if I didnt have to spend my own money!

omg robsia size 14!!! gawd how i wish i was a 14...urch i hate being a 28/30

Okay . . . cover your ears . . . this isn't going to be pretty . . .

Oh BOO, HISS, BOO . . . . . . HISS, BOO, HISS . . . Why does the ugly old scale- hate me this morning? I've been good; I don't deserve this! Okay . . . you can take your fingers out of your ears now.

It's a good thing the sun is shining because that is the only around here this morning. I gained .8 and I really don't know why. At my age I can't even blame it on TOM although I do know that the body still cycles to some extent. Guess I should pay more attention to the pattern. I know my ankles have been a little puffy but I sort of put it down to too much time on the computer. Who really knows. Anyway, it will go away again and I hope it's soon. In the meantime, I refuse to change my ticker (that seemed to work out for Cheryl) this week.

Anyway, gang, sorry about the bad humour . . . it too will pass. In the meantime, I wish everybody a far better day than the one I seem to be having so far.

Keep on doing the right stuff and the rewards will surely follow. (Repeat the foregoing phrase every 15 minutes throughout the day, Linda.)

See you soon gang.

Good Morning Again Ladies, MMMMMM YAWN YAWN, I did not want to get out of bed this morning.

Meowee, IT WILL BE OK. Sometimes our bodies do get minds of thier own. I am sure the .8 will be gone soon with more to follow. Just keep doing the right stuff.

Robsia, I am now very interested in your book. Congrats on the size 14, I cant wait to get there myself. I have dropped 1 size. I am not longer a 20 I am now a size 18. YEAH!!!

I have one thing I really wanted to say before I have to get to work.

I have found the cure for my sweet tooth. The calories are a little more than I would like to put in for a small snack, but I always make sure I have a snack before going to bed and I am gonna plan for this. Skinny Cow Ice Cream Sandwiches. MMMMM they are so good. 1.5 grams of fat and 140 calories. They are big enough you don't feel cheated on the snack and the chocolate flavored ones really taste like chocolate.

Well gotta get to work now, Check in later.

robbin, congrats on going down a size and thanks for the tip i'll have to keep an eye out for those icecreams, bet they aint as good as hagaan daaz tho lol but heck for 1.5gs of fat i'll give them a go!
oh meowee, im sending u a big virtual hug, i know how disappointing that demon can be. just dont drown your sorrows in calories and fats ok! it'll soon disappear again dont worry.

just found this picture while browsing and thought wow i have lost that lump of fat X4
just thought id share as it was definatly an eye opener for me, all those times we moan that we have only lost whatever just think wot that actually looks like and how much healthier we are making our bodies by losing.

(makes me glad i just ate a plate of steamed veggies for dinner!)

Good Morning Everyone ~ Well our nice sunny beautiful weather is no longer here. Today it's very cloudy, overcasted and suppose to rain. I actually had to turn the heat on for a little bit this morning, so a big difference from this past week!

Liza ~ Your pictures are cute and they look like they're full of energy!

Robsia ~ Your new blouse looks really good! I can't wait until I'm in some smaller sized clothing!

I hope everyone is having a great day...

HELP,
My boss bought lunch today and when I said no thank you he wouldnt take no for an answer. I ordered as healthy as I could, Broiled Orange Roughy Baked Potato, Salad with Lite Italian Dressing. Well when the food was delivered guess what. Regular Italian Dressing was on the salad. I only ate a little off the top and not the stuff that was setting in oil at the botom. I ate the fish and the potato with only about a teaspoon of regular Sour Cream. But he also added to my order. He added a huge peice of chocolate cake. It is now sitting on my desk just begging me to eat it. I keep pushing it further and further away. He said I can cheat today because He bought lunch. He also told me that if I lost weight he would be mad at me. I think he was half joking and half serious. I dont want to hurt any feelings by not eating it but..........I honestly dont want it. What to do?????? What to do??????

Robbin ~ You still did a good job with eating for lunch...great job!

Lois ~ Congratulations with your weight loss! Every little bit is an accomplishment towards your goal. I have not been doing too good these past few days, and I need to get back on track real soon!
