Sorry Slyvs, food is orf the agenda today


The big weight loss catch up yesterday.....................according to THE scales, its back on today, or there abouts :-|

So, now do you believe me about these buddy scales!

No. Just think you had too much to eat yesterday :-P :-D



Thank you for such a wonderful spread Sylvs.........I'll happily take Gins' place at the table.... :-D :-D


Must go........it's.........what day?? ;-)

Cheeky mare :-P

I ate two slices of wholemeal toast with low fat flora, late morning

Dinner at about 8pm, small spag bol made with Quorn and no olive oil

Two small VaTs

Now if you chucked all that on the scales including the crockery, glass and cutlery, it wouldnt add up to about 6lb

Good morning all,

O.K. then - If Ginns isn't going to eat it, I will have the vegetarian stirfry today (with extra chicken :-D :-D) - Don't want it going to waste! ;-)

Morning Cynthia Xxx

See you later for that lovely lunch.............

Dea Xxx

Ahhh, so that's where I have been going wrong - I don't put on weight because I haven't been eating the plates and cutlery !!! - Thank you for sharing the secret Ginns :-D :-D ;-)

Dea x

Arghhhhhhhhh :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-| :-|

for forks sake Gins... just eat plastic cutlery ... it is all the ironmongery that is weighing you down...

Actually if that is all you are eating you should be losing weight ... hand over fist..

A friend of mine always a slim person started gaining and she was eating less and less to try and control it... the doctor then gave her a diet... she was struggling to eat everything he told her to... and she gained even more... then he had the audacity to tell her she must've cheated. He sent her to the nurse who practically told the doctor he was an idiot... the tablets that he had put her on for blood pressure or something had caused her to pack on the kilos..

Now this is just a comment... no medical facts from me... you do understand that eh!!

Persie

JB has been on the scales too and had the same result as me. Yesterday he had a big weight loss and today, hes back up

Im not a big eater really, my portions are always child size....not enough to feed a bird as my bro says

It's oil, butter, cheese, nuts and crisps that are my downfall! That said, I have cut all of that stuff out

My jeans are very very lose and I do feel a lot slimmer but the scales agree one day and the next they change their mind

I dont take any meds so I cant blame that. I really do think these scales are duff............if it was just me, or I was cheating then OK fair enough, but JB is having the same results too :-S

I hope you've bought new scales Gins - then you will have a good idea as to whether you are up - down - sideways - wotever.


I ditched my bathroom scales yonks ago....... :-D



Had our new shower door fitted today.........the words 'arm' and 'leg' come into it. Looks very nice though.

Ordered some Seca scales today, so hope they are a bit more accurate

Is that the screen with the sexy view panel Cyns ;-)

Well done Ginns!

You must keep the new ones next to the old ones for a week or two, then you can weigh yourselves on both and decide which one you want to believe on an y given day !!! :-D ;-)

Dea Xxx

Good thinking Dea Dea ;-)

Is anyone having difficulty cutting and pasting onto this site??

For the past few days I haven't been able to paste onto certain threads on here using my mouse - I have had to do it using Ctrl V on the keyboard.

I can paste into other places but not onto certain threads on here???

Dea Xxx

:-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

Have I confused you Ginns??? :-D

What I mean is that when I want to cut and paste - I go to the text and highlight it then I right click and a little box comes up and I click copy.

Then I go to where I want to paste it and then I right click and the little box comes up and I click paste!........... 'Job done' !!!

However, on certain threads, I go to where I want to paste and right click - NO little box so cannot paste !!!
