  • What sort of mac? One of those ones you roll up??

    Do goths still wear fishnet tights?? I hate fishnet tights... stockings are even worse - isn't it strange the power that stockings and suspenders have over men - especially if the stockings are black fishnets with a seam???

    Sorry - I'm rambling.... trying to plan my wedding anniversary in a couple of weeks.
  • White chocolate creme eggs, they sound divine

    I cut down a lot on drinking last week and lost weight so I'm sure you'll be pleased with your weigh in Carol. Wish I had been as good as you at the weekend though, I had far too much. I avoided wine and went for vodka with Diet Coke but also had some Guinness as well (I need the iron )
  • Nooo a smart mac.
  • Sarah - what about a peek-a-boo set
  • Might be this one...obviously looks much better on me
  • At maria donati they have really gross sort of see thru body things puke!
  • I don't know that I would have described that as a mac - its gorgeous! A mac conjures up pictures of those fold up plastic ones that pong.

    Anyone got the Campaign 7 link Avon catalogue - if so I have just ordered the pretty lavender embroidered basque and THONG(!) on page 3. I must be nuts....!!! My anniversary is on the 27th February and I am going to have to starve to fit in this... I will try and scan and attach a picture....
  • Ooh err missus!!!!
  • Guess you will be earning some FEEPs on 27th February!!!
  • That's weird cuz I don't drink in the week now (DH wants to know who's pinched it - my sense of humour he's talking about, when I am off the booze), and I save my sins to be able to drink over the weekend. Last week I had less booze than I have had at any weekend since starting thie diet, and I don't think I've lost this week. Have got until Wednesday though so here's hoping or I'm back o the bottle!!

    I can's stand sober Saturday nights
  • Sober sat nights are not much fun when you have been used to otherwise, I just want to be able to take it or leave it so i am leaving it until Easter. I just keep giving myself targets small enough to cope with. I do love to drink wine though i have to admit!!!
    I must admit this weekend was fairly easy but then I have been out the previous two weekends....lets just take it one week at a time.

    I don't know about you but I always have to have one vice or another, if it isn't alcohol it is chocs if not chocs it is crisps....aaahhggghhhh!
  • There is ONE vice which doesn't make you fat....!

    I'm sure I should know this.... but what are FEEPs??????
  • Still in a bad mood because of the "gained" 3lbs It is official weigh in day tomorrow so we shall see.... I did my Lorraine Kelly exercise video this morning at 8am because I was so angry and now my legs are killing me.

    What are FEEP's???

    Tonight I have made the most delicious pud - it was summer fruits souffle from Rosemary Conely club (you get a recipe every week) kids wanted more and there was nil fat in it and 187 cals per pot (I made 4 ramekins).

    Veggie that coat was lovely - definitely too nice to be called a mac.

    Jano - my cardio bounce video has been dispatched so I should be jumping around like a looney tomorrow.

    Thought you might find this interesting...

    75% of North Americans are chronically dehydrated. (Likely applies to half world population).

    In 37% of North Americans the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger.

    Even mild dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%.

    1 glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a Washington study.

    Lack of water is the biggest trigger of daytime fatigue.

    Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferes.

    A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short term memory, trouble with basic maths and difficulty focusing on the printed page or computer screen.

    Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, breast cancer by 79% and you are 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer.

    Are you drinking enough water?????????
  • i am trying to drink more water honest i am!!
  • Yes I'm drinking enough water it's the only good habit I picked up last year and have stuck to. I drink water all day with one cup of very weak tea. I dislike coffee & too much tea gives me heartburn so it's easy to avoid them. I used to drink diet coke and / or wine in the evenings. Now I just stick to my diluting blackcurrant juice.

    Have managed one week of seriously cutting down my drinking - just have the rest of my life to perfect it.

    Those dehydration stats are quite frightening.
