Glasgow's all right, but the west end is full of ponces and the east end - where i live - is full of neds :( I live across from a park where people keep getting murdered! If I wasn't at uni here I'd be right back! I used to live halfway up Leith Walk. The thing I miss most about Edin is all the parties - there were so many! All over the place! It was great!

Mmmmmmmm, I love the Apple store. (Just noticed the apple in your signature!) My boyfriend and I got a shiny Imac - it's amazing and wonderful. Couldn't ever imagine going back!

I would love to have an iMac... I might treat myself to one once I get a "real" job after graduating this summer. I'll have to hide it as I couldn't possibly need a MacBook and an iMac.... :blush:


On a weight-related note: I broke ONEDERLAND today! :D Can't wait to post my "official" weight on Sunday! :D

Go on - treat yourself! Our wee macbook is getting on a bit (4 years old!), and my boyfriend needed something more powerful for his music - that was our excuse!!

WELL DONE! :carrot: I'm so happy for you :D I bet you feel great!

I can't wait to be there too! I seem to have come to a bit of a standstill - it feels like that anyway. I should try to remember that I just lost 5 pounds last week. The days go so slowly though! It feels like it takes forever!

I shall stand prepared with carrots ready for your Sunday weigh in :)

Hey Touch my toes....for me it is pretty arbitrary as to when i respond, ie do I have time when I see a post, i am sure it is like that for all else too... dont be paranoid!!

today is a good day.. im down another pound. well i hope you all are doing well .. ttyl

Ugh I'm taking a break from squeezing myself into shapewear for my dress that I'm wearing to my work night out on Sunday. Luckily, I can't make a drunken fool out of myself as I still amnt eating right.

Hope everyone is doing good and is going to have a good weekend! :D

from night out, I'm probs not going to weigh in until monday or tues. Sorry!

Hi All,

Little bi depressing for everyone at the mo I see...january blues etc....but just think the days are getting longer alreafy, and before we know it we will be talking summer!!

This week was ok for me, nothing was moving but then yesterday and today it all came off, so 3 lbs down at 173 - normal BMI is in sight (5 more lbs to go)

That's great Ellie, well done :) What an amazing achievement - you'll be there in no time!!

Congrats to you too Tiara - you're doing brilliantly!
Kay, hope you have a great night out :)

I've been dead on 210 all week despite working my bum off at the gym - so depressing! I hope it all comes off me soon too! (Preferably by weigh in tomorrow!)

Sorryy Touchmytoes and beescwee for not responding and anyone else who felt ignored. Haven't been checking here much due to problems here (ill dad, froozen water pipes, children's extended holidays, staying a at parents' house instead of walking back after dropping girls at school due to dangerous pavements being hard work with dodgie ankle, car problems, think that's everything). Sometimes I have lots of time to read and respond and some times not so much.

It's been very hard to fight the urge to binge the last few weeks with so much stress and I still haven't got back into exercising but the scales are at 13 and a half stones and not going up so hopefully will get back into things properly soon. Being at my parents' house a lot also means eating mroe chocolate, etc. :( Trying to resist as much as possible but it's not easy.

Well done everyone on this week's loses :)

Thanks Beescwee....I know it feels so close now, but as i have said many times this is the hardest bit...i have failed to get all the way to goal so many times before now, that I am almost willing myself to fail....
Hey Rainbow, you are doing really well, and you will get there - that goes to you too besscwee!

Cheers Ellie :) We won't let you fail this time! :p

Rainbow, I don't feel ignored! I was a wee bit hesitant at first, but that's all! Anyway, hope things start looking up soon :) It's so hard to try and diet when you're taken out of your familiar home environment. I almost always overeat when I visit home. I suppose it's just cause that's where I put the weight on in the first place. It's definitely psychological.

Anyway, I hope you triumph over the chocolate! Good luck(everyone)!!!

Well done on your loss, Tiara! Hopefully you'll have an amazing weigh in!

Ellie, 5lbs to normal BMI is so exciting! I can't wait to be there myself, you must be pretty pleased with yourself for getting this far :)

beescwee, stick with it! Sometimes I have rubbish weeks like that (like the whole of December for me...Ugh) but when we persevere we get results! :D

Week 2 of 4

Still managed 1lb off, despite comfort food from freezer!

hmm..just cant switch into diet mode though, have been having small lunches then things like stew and small portions, mostly veggies etc..filling warming and cheap!

good on you girls for losing so much you are doing far better than me!

medication starts in a week...that will be interesting as a side effect is weight gain..so really going to have to watchmyself

I know what you guys mean about the weather thank god its gone now, although nice to have an excuse to stay at home, it does mess things around alot and was making me think i was on holidays as no teaching!
