Morning ladies

We're back from our easter hols Tosia made it througr chicken pox and got a sore throat meanwhile. So we stay at home AGAIN

@Holland: of courese there was special easter dishes Lots of meat and eggs in various forms on Easter
Your easter sounds like perfect time for me. We had absolutely crazy Sunday with all the family in one place (kids, dog and turtle included) and I had a chill out on Monday staying with sick Tosia at my PILs home.

@gm: happy dieting Have you got a Dukanian Easter also??
I quit all dieting plans for now. Start to work out more, eat less sweets and we'll see how far I can go this way


Have a nice day It's warm and sunny here, and I have to sit at home with my little cute walking virus

Hi ladies,
I have joined weight watchers with my daughter I need to lose a few kilos but she needs to lose 30.She is so unhappy so I am trying to motivate her by joining in.
I have put in that I want to lose 10 but I will be happy with 5.My ideal weight is between 54 and 67kg.I would look terrible if I went down to 54 so no way-62-65 is good.
I am having a very lazy one i am so tired even though I had a nap.i think its the thought of a full days work tomorrow
Hope you are all happy with life at the mo xx

Hi girls,

Hope you all had a nice Easter weekend - with Dukan, turtles and other stuff .
Weather was - unexpected - great! Sunny and blue sky. We even sat outside on Friedrichstrasse for coffe and cake . Went to the movies ('Russendisko' - not that great IMHO, but Matthias Schweighöfer is just adorable with his big smile) and went out for Thai dinner on Sat and Sun .

@Cava: I don't have a big family (just my mom and me), so sitting with lots of family together sounds great (as a kid I loved to eat with the neighbours: they had 8 children, so there was always lots of crazyness and chatting over there ). Sorry, that Tosia is sick again..
And about dieting: you look just fine (to me).

@Lee: you're such a good mom, joining your daughter. What I understand weight watchers seems to work fine with a lot of people. So good luck to her!

Thanks for the praise Holland.
I am finding it quite hard actually I only have 26 points and as you know I am a good eater so that's not really a lot.Weighing day is monday so we will see!

Missing Norman a bit but finding time to read a book that a friend of ours wrote.He put it up on kindle(only paid 77pence for it) and it is going into print too.Loaded it down onto kindle for PC as I have a Trekstor.
Its called "the division of the damned"by Richard Rhys Jones.
Its all about a SS unit that was instructed to try and get a group of Transalvanian Vampires to work for them and win the war against the Russians in the East and consequently help the Nazis to take over Europe.
The German division is made up of men who are battle scarred and dissallusioned with the Nazi dogma -I am half way through but I think the angle is they rebel and try to thwart the plan of their superiors.
Written by an ex British soldier who has lived in Germany as long as I have married to a German girl it has a strange handle to it. At first I was sceptical but after the first few chapters found it not so bad for a first attempt- not finished yet so see what he has in store!

Hi ladies!
Back from my first communion, well not mine actually, but the first one of my godchild It was quite an experience, with all the little girls dressed up like princesses! Too cute! And I ate much too much! And not in Dukan style today! Will have to cut down for the next two weeks, otherwise I won't fit in my dress for Justins confirmation!
Well, at least I won't have to fit in a dress for Bloody con, since no one will accompany me, I won't be going to the dance in the eve! I will only 'sit through' the panels, and drool all by myself! I can't believe this is going to happen! I really had hoped I wouldn't have to go alone, well of course I won't be alone, but you get the point!
My hubby's gone till thursday, he's on the trade fair 'Light and building' in Frankfurt, so time enough for me to enjoy our new television, and to reread HG, of which I can't get enough atm!
@ lee Awesome that you'll help your daughter! Good luck with it!

Wish y'all a great start in the week!

[leeann]

Little proud me has lost 1.6 kilos in my first week -Cathy lost 2.1kilos.So now I'm a straight 68.

Getting used the points system now and finding ways of actually being able to eat a lot if you chose the right things

We measured ourselves yesterday so we can actually see the inches fall in the end.

Norman comes back tomorrow late evening and then goes to work on Wednesday so I probably won't see much of him till thursday.

Hope you all have great start to the week!

Little proud me has lost 1.6 kilos in my first week -Cathy lost 2.1kilos.So now I'm a straight 68.

Wow, 1,6 and 2,1! That's great.

Wish you already a good night!

[leeann]

Good evening everybody,

I was such a good housewife today . Till 11 in the morning I had baked 2 cakes (Prasselkuchen & Buttermilchkuchen, don't ask me to translate...) and made a rice salad. for myself.
MrHolland is away for the Superbike World Championship in Assen (Netherlands). They're staying on a campsite and everybody is bringing some food.
And now I have kind of 4 day's of holiday too - all by myself in the house, very nice once in a while.

@Cava: we do our tax report via the mail, too . But my accountant needed all my invoices and I had the wrong date in mind. So I had to drive over there Monday evening and put alll my papers in their mailbox.

But - how was your interview?
