**Thinner Thursday Hour by Hour**

Morning all!

I have my weigh in this morning and I am looking forward to it. I plan to buy lots of tetras and bars for next week as I'm finding I am skipping packs (over three weeks, I've got 10 spare packs which means I'm missing around three a week). Which is NOT GOOD. So I am hoping by having things which are ready made I will have no excuse not to eat/drink them.

I've got the plasterer here today skimming the bedroom so the house is NEARLY finished. Four months since we moved in and we have gutted it and redecorated every room. I cannot wait until my weekends are my own again!

How are you all?

Good luck Guru!

I'm so getting the bars when I next get weighed. I miss them!!! :cry:It's so nice to have something to chew on!

I have bizarre stomach pains today and am absolutely shattered but apart from that I am good! Day 10 and still 100%! Really must make sure I have my 4.5l today as I have only managed 3l for the past 3 days.

No-one has arrived at work yet! It's bliss! Personally I hope they don't come in so I have the whole office to myself. Heaven! x

Hi I'm trying to regain my motivation and figured if I start posting again more it'll help.Planning to go for a walk later as it's a nice sunny day(unlike yesterday when it was chucking it down).

Guru you will be completely made up once your house is all done. How cool that you are almost there.

Hi Gem! Bars seem like a good plan.

I am off for a sneaky trip to M&S hoping they have some trousers on sale.

xx

good morning ladies! good news about the house guru and enjoy the empty office while you can gem! i love it when my office is empty. doesn't happen often enough!

my day is going ok, my boss is still on holiday so i am catching up on old The Biggest Loser episodes i missed. love it.

i have successfully avoided the scales since sunday, which is nearly a record for me. don't want to get weighed until tuesday of next week. i really really hope i am in the 12's, i have found it hard to break the back of 13 stone. i have started jogging too, so feel much better and sleeping better too, so if i only lose a couple of lbs due to the increased excercise, i'll be happy!

going into town today to buy some cool jogging trousers and shirt from jjb. i am gutted as i got mud on my new trainers yesterday! silly i know, thats what their their for but they were all nice and shiny before! lol.

hope everyone is ok, raring to go for another 100% day.

Polish. A walk sounds fantastic. I read your other thread and want you to know that you CAN do it. We are all here to support you xx

Morning all!

Guru - Nice to have your house almost finished, the plaster should be nice and dry for painting at the weekend, how great will that feel when its all done!!! Getting it all done in 4 months is fantastic too, well done you!

Gem - Stomach pains - not pregnant are you lol hope you have the office to yourself for a bit longer!!! I'm thinking of getting the bars this week, 7 weeks in I haven't tried them yet!!!

Polishrose - hope you enjoy your walk in the sunshine, and hope the sunshine lasts too!!!

Quizicalgrrl - Hope you get some nice new trousers in m&s, for a bargain price!

Eyeontheprize - Well done you for avoiding the scales, after hiding mine last week they are now back and I'm daily weighing again. Fingers crossed you get into the 12's, I'm sure you will. Lol about the trainers, I'm the same, want things to stay nice and new!!!

So today I am going to try and not cheat, yesterday I had some popcorn at the cinema and a little bit of cheescake topping and a bite of chocolate silly really, I need to lose these last few pounds before we go on holiday but finding it so hard to find the motivation now, I think its because I'm at home with the kids because of the school holidays but thats no excuse really, I need to focus on the goal...

Bloody hope not lol!!! People are turning up now. Well, those that don't have swine flu! Argh!!!

Lol - hope the pains go hun x

Hello again all. I am back from the shops. I got 3 tops at M&S and nothing else. The sale is on and people are everywhere and the clothes were all smashed together so I gave up.

I went to Monsoon and I struck out there too!

So I had breast implants fitted because I had a mastectomy when I weighed 17 stones. Now that I weigh lots less they are ginormous and I need smaller ones.

I can't afford to get them changed out and just having these 2 huge globes stuck on me is getting me down.

xx

Who fits the breast implants quizzical girl? A friend of mine has just been told she has to have a cancerous lump removed from her breast - for the third time. She has requested a mastectomy instead but they refused, I'm not sure why.

I have private medical so when I had a mastectomy it was covered

Ah okay. Thanks for the info

Worry not about your large busoms Quizzical.... the serve to make your waist look smaller!!

Friend of mine had hers' changed 'down' when she lost weight and found that she felt 'fatter' everywhere else...

She said that she was sure that her waist was smaller when she was a E cup than now she is a C cup and yet her clothes all still fit her.....

Well Gem 'tis day 10 for me too! Into double figures already, I can hardly believe it! The bizarre dreams have started in earnest now though... I had them last time!
I dreamt that I went to a social function and forgot that I was SS'ing and ate 1/4 of a sandwich... then I wake up wondering if I really have eaten a sandwich!
Last time I dreamt that I added mushrooms and extra chicken to the soup, and put strawberries in the shake

I'm praying for a minor miracle this week and hoping for another 7lb..... it'll take me into the next stone zone!!! But, hey, realistically, I'll be happy with 3.5lb... this is probably more realistic!!

Hope everyone is going OK today.

Hello, I am really struggling today and would really appreciate some encouragement. I really want to eat a cheese sandwich Its so hard drinking the soup when everyone in the office is eating hot food from the canteen!!! my weigh in is on tuesday and i'm really trying to keep strong buts its so hard.....

Think how good it will feel to be in those smaller clothes. Now think about the cheese sandwich. Which would you *really* rather have?

You can have the cheese sandwich, you just have to delay having it a few weeks that's all. It's not forever. Chin up!

Thanks, Guru, you're a star! I've just visualised myself in a monsoon top that I love and have promised myself I will buy as a present once I lose a stone

Oh God, don't talk to me about the freaky dreams!!! I've had some rather bizarre ones of late! I remember last time dreaming I had eaten wine gums and then panicked because I thought it was real!!! x

Love it I have wacky food dreams too.... crazy but at least I don't wake up starving!

Well today is going so much better than yesterday for me, despite a sts on the scales (1st time I have jumped on them in a week) So disappointing as I am only in week three.... can't remember a sts for this long last time round well hey ho thats the way it goes... so long as it goes!

I am hoping for a big lose over the next few days in time for my fortnightly wi on Wed. I have banished the bars and water flavouring for the next week, just want to get below 12st7lb only 4lb away!

Hope everyone is doing well and keeping 100% today
