Well, he's still older

(and quite a bit more than a decade, not quite 2) but we've been seeing so much of eachother, that just calling him OM does not do him justice, so he's been promoted to BF!!!!!

Well, sounds like you'll have fun this weekend! Me too, I've got a whole weekend away with BF planned, so am looking forward to just being able to be together without phones ringing and responsibilities and chores that need doing! Have booked ourselves into a gorgeous hotel, and are going to go on a little road trip!

CosmicMuffin · 04-04-2008, 07:28 AM

I hope you have a great time. I have just about got my house ready. I will do one last bit of shopping and then that is it. SO if he likes me he likes me and if he don't well...they are like buses. Just wait a few minutes and another will come along.

Go for it Mimosa, my hubby is 18 years older than me and I wouldn't swap him for anyone else

Actually, it bothers him, more than me, but I never look at him and think "my G*d you're too old for me" he's just hubby and I love him to bits

We have a great time, and lots of fun, and and he's fab in other ways too

P.S. still trying to up that water intake but it's sooooooooooooo hard

mrs_mad · 04-05-2008, 08:26 AM

Kissa · 04-06-2008, 02:58 AM

Hi everyone. Still here in oz with Mint, having a great time.

Welcome Mrs Mad and Lora. Love your before and afters, what a transformation.

Don't seem to be gaining weight here, but the flab from not getting to the gym is showing.

Love to all.

Alcmene · 04-06-2008, 10:22 AM

WOW, look at you!!!

Well I did weigh myself, 165 uuggghhhh!

I went shopping as I had nothing in and bought loads of Induction stuff. Overdosed on food today but it is the price I pay for Inducting. I will let myself be free for a couple of days and once the appetite reduces then I can have more control.

shykins · 04-06-2008, 01:34 PM

thats not that bad alcmene a few weeks of induction will soon sort it... i agree loads of induction friendly food til ketosis kicks in

good luck x

MintQ8 · 04-06-2008, 04:17 PM

Great shots Shy!

Alcmene - that isn't sooo bad - and just enjoy induction - the lack of hunger will come soon enough!

Scales have finally started moving for me again - 4 weeks - of bouncing up and down 4lbs was really annoying!!!! Keeping my fingers crossed that it will continue!

Off to work now - see you all later!

Blondie Baby · 04-06-2008, 11:19 PM

Morning Ladies! As always, I'm just flying by to say hi. Busy, busy, busy. Still no housemaid, but 18yo dd is on spring break and actually cleaned the house before I got home from work yesterday! I'm taking bets on whether or not that will happen again!!!

Seriously, she did a good job and I was glad of it!

What's with you ladies and OM? I like them younger me! My ex is 9 years younger and DBF is 5 years younger!!!!!

Speaking of DBF, we are trying to get some time to go the court today and get married!

FINALLY. I'm waiting for Mom to email me a copy of Dad's passport - a formality required by Shari'a court! Insha'allah, all will go well and we will be married this afternoon!

shykins · 04-07-2008, 02:05 AM

well done mint... long may it continue, yr mum will keep u on the straight and narrow u got no choice but to lose weight with her there lolol

Alcmene · 04-07-2008, 04:02 AM

CosmicMuffin · 04-07-2008, 01:19 PM

I hate dating. I have no idea how it went. But he didn't just get up and buggar off the next day. He hung around til around 2 in the afternoon. SO I have no clue. Ohh and all that happened was a hug and a kiss as he left.

mrs_mad · 04-07-2008, 02:37 PM

Al: I hope to make it to Melbourne as my nephew lives there, we have been twice to Western Australia, and I think it wold be great to see the other side.

Shy: you look fab - inspirational

Cosmic: I used to hate dating too, all the bl**dy games you have to play - will he call, won't he, etc, etc. Thankfully when I met DH there was NONE of that and we were talking marriage the next evening!

I keep forgetting to say, thanks for the ongoing support.
