Well done TQ and NJ.

TQ - how long has it taken you to lose that 40lb?? That is a LOT of weight to lose. Are you going to have a (low fat) celebration when you get in to the 16 stones...?

Well, Ladies, don't ask me how but I lost 1/2lb last night.... after the week I had had I thought It would be a gain so I am really pleased

Well done Janet & Chris – what a bunch of losers we are turning into

hi there ladies and any male lurkers im posting my weigh in now because i wont have time tomorrow MIL has decided to descend on saturday instead of sunday and because im working now shell try to make out im a bad mother and my house is going downhill im sure a lot of you will know the kind of thing i mean anyways ive lost 4lbs since last friday , but i dont think that will be enough to make me overjoyed at the old battleaxe staying longer maybe i should serve her up some dietary fibre ....oh the evil thoughts are starting ....laxatives in her coffee should send her home

WELL DONE, KIM!!!

4lbs..... I wish.....!

Your poor thing with your MIL! How long is she staying for? I like my MIL a lot, but I don't think I would particularly want her visiting for more than just a day. You are a brave woman!

ty sarah, the MIL is staying until wednesday shes just so strict, and my kids lack any sort of discipline whatsoever, so do i come to think of that , it is going to be so awful for me i'll be surprised if im not completley off this diet by time shes gone,first thing will be the lecture on how mothers should be at home with there kids(if only we could afford to be), then it will be oh not another diet you need to eat properly you know!! and then it will be , its not fair on DH having to look after kids so YOU can go to work he needs time to relax from his job too..............oh i could go on and on and on. i think ill speak to the matron at work see if i can just work right through from saturday until wednesday

Sounds like my ex MIL. She whinged and moaned at me every time she visited (her boy- my husband - could do no wrong) - and then stupidly we bought a house opposite hers - I lasted six months before walking out. My current MIL lives 2-3 hours away which is just right! But then again, this one wouldn't ever DREAM of moaning!

What possessed you to invite her for such a long time????????? It was bad enough when my ex MIL visted for the day!

sarah!!!!!!!! i know the lack of calories and fat is affecting my body but definitley not my brain!!!!!!!!! I DIDNT INVITE HER .......DH did it while i was at work and oh yes he does realise the error of his ways, and by the time wednesday comes he will realise even more

Unforgiveable..... totally unforgiveable!!!!!!!!!

Its going to be difficult for him to make up for doing something so daft, I think possibly a month's worth of washing up should do it!

Hmmmmm, that might be letting him off too lightly!!

oh sarah i like your line of thought

Flumper.... I liked your post on the Light Hearted thread about the angels - perhaps

could be relevant to your MIL - you never know.......

hahahaha yes things arent what they seem with her, WOLVE IN SHEEPS CLOTHING

oops shouldve been wolf not wolve

My MIL is only 6 years older than me ? Now figure that out, Ray is older than me too.

Think it is too easy, she's not Rays mum, but is his Dads wife - Rays mum died many years ago. I used to love to wind her up but after all these years we've done that joke to death. On holiday last year, some guy kept calling her the boys granny & that is one name she hates, gran she doesn't mind but granny - she's far too young to be one of them.

She is lovely but as to having her stay until Wednesday - I don't think so. Well done on the weight loss Kim.
