*** holds Libbys Hand *** Say after me 'out with angry in with love .' ...say it...

Thank you Hayley. Feels much better. Me thinks I had better cut out the wine though although maybe not - I am getting palpitations just thinking about it. Libby

*shocked....Oh No Libby...not the wine, never the wine! It's the spuds and pasta and stuff isnt it..Hayley will advise you when she lets go of your hand....lol BC XX

Well, if it's any help Libby, I have found the ideal diet. I just got back from holiday and I ate for breakfast, corn flakes,fried egg,bacon and fried bread and followed with marmalade on half a slice of toast. For evening meal I ate 5 courses most nights, always 4 and I lost 3 lbs. It seems to me that it isn't what you put in your mouth, it must have been the exercise I got. *reminds herself to get off the computer and go shopping*:)))) Chrissie

Thanks girls. Chrissie you are a lucky girl!! Seriously though, think I should at least cut down on the wine. I have a fairly healthy diet - loads of fruit and veg. Rarely eat biccys or choc, though i do occasionally have a binge. lol. Cook mainly from scratch, no fast food - or very rarely. Got to be the wine - or that's my excuse anyway. Libby x

Not so lucky Libby - it's just that I have a lot to lose:))))))) Your diet sounds great already. I wish I ate like that, fruit and veg don't seem to like me.

I hate to say this, as I am as much at fault as everyone else, but (whispers) do you think it could be because we spend sooo much time sitting at the computer and not exercising doing the h word (shudders) that the weight creeps on? Maybe we need a GR personall trainer who will come on hourly and get us all up and exercising!!! just for 5 minutes you understand, but it might help and would keep the blood circulating. I am sure many of us could be at risk of blood clots due to sitting in one place too long, worse than flying lol

That's more or less what I was hinting at Liz:)) (It is Liz isn't it?)

Me too have bunged on unwanted llbs - I was wishing them into my purse but obviously the wish fairy got confused!! ;o)

.....and then Gravity takes charge. I haven't got big feet yet, so you can imagine where it's settled. Gwyn

Gravity has well taken charge - top & bottom !! OH has just phoned - off down to the local for a BBQ. Will power was never my strongest point. lol Libby x

10st 11lbs I wish!!! I,m a long way above that and wish i could lose some. been diagnosed with possible pre diabetic.more tests, but I need to lose some but as i have a BIG hiatus hernia I cant overeat anyway. We live on a VERY healthy diet so cant see why my weight is so high. HEH HO!! Shirley
