Well.... 21.8 lbs lost in january!! Those 0.8 lbs are very important!! Roll on february... be good to actually have someone notice it, only trouble with being a big bird is that you have to lose quite a bit to start with before anyone actually notices!!

Be lovely to get into the next size down in clothes too... I am feeling like I need to reap those kind of rewards now!

My husband was saying how well I'd done & I was saying that when I've lost 3 or 4 stone I will book myself a treat... maybe a facial, hair colour, spa treat & my son who is 6 said... or a trip to sainsburys!! Nearly fell off my chair laughing!!

How crazy is this....

At the moment I feel sick, nervous & full of butterflies!! Why???

Because I have sent of for an application for a job, its crazy that I feel like this but it has been 11 years since I had to apply for a job, the thought fills me with dread & excitement all at the same time!!

And all I've done is ask for an application form... what would I be like if I got any further!!! Crazy!

Feel desperately sad today for my little sister, she is 25 weeks pregnant with her 2nd child & was told yesterday that her baby is half the size it should be weighing only 348g, the blood supply to the brain is on the cusp of insafe, the fluid is very low & there is a strong chance of chromosome problems. She was given steriod injections yesterday to give little ones lungs a boost & has to go back for more.

The specialist has told them that although she is over the 24 weeks the baby is not viable because it is just too small. They are hoping that it will survive & grow enough in the next 4 weeks so that they can deliver by c-section.

My sister is just the most amazing person, she had a molar pregnancy, before she had her son, which resulted in her getting cancerous cells & had to have chemo & now she has all this! I have never ever heard my sister say a bad word about anyone, she is the typre of person that would give you everything if you need it. It seems so desperately unfair that they have to go thru this... they both have a very strong faith & believe that Gods hand is on them & he has a plan. I struggle to understand why they would have to go thru this with such a strong faith!!

Just feel very emotional for her today & feel so bloomin' useless I just wish there was something I could do!

Oh Linz
That is so sad. Your poor sister. What she must be going through. All you can do is be there for her. xx

ahh thats so sad, im saying big prayers for your sister and you xx

Your poor sister my brother had a similar experience and Finlay was born at 26 weeks he was too tiny and weighed just 850g. Hope your sister will be ok good luck to you all

xx

Hi Linz,
Hope you are ok. xx

Hi Guys

All's good here, well apart from my sisters situation no change next scan is on the 16th. Think its finally hit them both which personally I think is a good thing.. the fact that they've both been staying very strong & saying they're cool with did worry me but the shedding of tears & outshowing of emotion is good for them both.

As for me things are ticking along nicely, went to a christening today & as I was queueing up for the buffet I looked at it & thought there is absolutely no point in me queueing as there was nothing I could eat!! It was all very beige & carby!! Just as well I had an atkins bar in my bag!!

Off for my first months check up with my Diabetic nurse tomorrow so hoping for good news!

Hope news is good for your sister.

Thanks guys for all your kind words for my sister & her husband.

Weighed in this morning & lost 2.6lbs this week... only 3.6 to go til I've done 2 stone... just wish people would start noticing & I could go down a dress size!! Nothing shows on a BIG bird!!

So ticking over just nicely this week... really need to start exercising again. My little one starts preschool one morning a week after half term so I will head off after dropping her off for a swim, thats my plan & figure if I do it week one then it'll become habit!

She had a taster session yesterday & loved it, had to tell daddy all about it when she got home & had to sleep in her 'Little Deers' t-shirt! I'm looking forward to her going she is going to love it there!!

Brrrrrrrrrrrrrr!! I just can't get warm... I know its bloomin' cold out there & with ketosis its just f f f freezing!!! Apparently your body burns more calories trying to heat itself up tho so it can't be all bad!

Went to a friends bag & jewellery party last night... didn't get home til 0130!! How did that happen?? Feeling a tad jaded this morning but the sunshines out so its motivating me to get up & going... off to the dump to get rid off some things we've got rid of in our big clearout & have been listing other bits on freecycle so hopefully they'll be gone by the end of the weekend. This year so far has had a good focus on getting sorted both health, wealth & house -wise... long may it continue!!

Looking forward to weigh in on Monday... fingers crossed it'll be good news!

Not had a great day today, sore throat, cough & splitting headache. Food's been ok but not great... haven't stuck to carbs, have really fancied eating something thats not low carb but not sure what!! A bowl of cereal keeps calling me but I won't give in... just want to feel a bit brighter again.

Had a dodgy tummy too which I'm guessing hasn't helped either!

Hey ho... maybe a MiM for tea...???

Hope you're feeling better. I have a rotten cold too but managed to stick to plan today even though I was in Starbucks earlier watching 3 people eat giant chocolate chip cookies. Yay me!

Thanks Nelly... I ended up having some blueberries with cream... not great but could've been SO much worse!
