Hi both

We are getting married in Santorini so at the moment there not much planning to be done. We have a wedding coordinator for abroad dealing with things. I have got my dress already which is a bit tight but with the hope of losing weight it will feel comfy. I have to go for another fitting the beginning of April so I am hoping it will all feel ok. After Christmas though it will be all go getting things organised at least I can concentrate on the diet at the moment.

Do you both go to meetings to get WI what days are yours on. My WI is on Wednesday's I do dread those days. But when I have a lost I feel so happy that I went.

Hope you both enjoy your weekend x

Hi ladies, been a busy weekend for me trying to move my mum into a new bungalow whilst she's in hospital so not had much chance to get on here our wedding is just a traditional catholic church wedding (a but bigger than I wanted really, but with the size of our families small was never an option!). But we are having our honeymoon in Italy and my maid if honor will be getting married there whilst we're there so I'll be being a bridesmaid on my honeymoon lol! She's getting married at lake como and it's going to be beautiful!

I go to class every Monday (though I have the next 2 weeks booked off) and I'm part of the social team so I take everyones payments for them when they're about to get weighed in. I enjoy my class, we all have a right laugh every week. Hoping that by the time I go back I'll have lost the 3.albs needed to get to my 3 stone award (which will be a total of 4 and a half stone lost since I had my son!).

I was also diagnosed with PCOS just under 6 years ago and found losing weight really hard, but managed to lose 2 stone on a vlcd and then maintained for a bit and got pregnant. Now all of a sudden it seems to have come off easily for me since I had jack! Although I still find myself getting impatient wanting it to happen faster lol! I don't think that will ever change! But only 2 stone 4.5lbs to go to my final target so I will get there eventually! I'm going wedding dress shopping in January so really want to be down to a size 12 by then so that my dress will look nice. I've always had problems going shopping and nothing looks as nice as I'd hoped and so I end up crying in the changing rooms and I don't want that to happen when I'm trying on dresses, I want it to be a special day xx

 

[mia85]

Hi Ladies

Both your weddings sound lovely. The days will soon be here.

Been struggling today with sticking to the plan but I managed to hold back the cravings. Tomorrow will be easier when I am at work and have only got what I take in to eat instead of thinking what is in my cupboard. But only working Mon and Tues then the rest of the week to spend with my 4yr old boy for half term. He getting very excited about Halloween.

Sam sounds like you had a very busy weekend. How was your weekend Mia?

Been making batches of soups to see me through the week, can't believe how cold it is. We had a dusting of snow Saturday morning.

Well best get me boy ready for bed.

Xx

Hi

Well done Mia on the weight loss, that's good news.

i have got mine this morning got today off so going to the early one instead of the half five. Not looking forward to it. Be happy if I even lose 0.5 lb but that's hoping.

But then after the WI it's a new week and new start x x

Thanks for the hugs hunny, i'm hoping she will be home soon too! She's still in and will be at least until next week so that will be 4 weeks she's been in by then. She doesn't usually have a problem with her O2 but she gained 30.5lbs in two weeks with water retention which was in her lungs and all over her body and was diagnosed with heart failure and cardiomegaly (water in the sac around the heart). If I hadn't have got her to join SW with me six weeks before we wouldn't have realised how bad it was as she never used to weigh herself. Monday night nearly 4 weeks ago she called me at 3am in the morning and could hardly talk as she couldnt breathe, so i rushed on to hers (she lives at number 19 and i bought number 4 to be near if she needs me as she's disabled) and she couldnt breathe and couldnt stop shaking. she has a phobia of ambulances since my step dad died in one 3 and a half years ago so i rushed her to a&e and they admitted her to the coronary care ward. they managed to get rid of some of the retained water over a few days then moved her to the cardiology ward and she then got pneumonia. The normal infection count is somewhere arouns 10-15 and hers was 263, so she was on the strongest possible antibiotics for nearly 2 weeks and her infection count finally went back down to normal. the first sunday she was in there she nearly died because they weren't taking proper care of her (she's insulin dependant diabetic) and her blood sugar dropped to 1.8 whils she was sleeping. another patient alerted the nurses that my mum was usually awake by that time so they checked on her and she was unconscious and unresponsive and it took the doctors 2 hours working on her to bring her back. they're taking the correct care of her now so her blood sugars have stablised now, and she's much better than she was, but her body doesn't want to store the O2 she's on. She was on 10 litres an hour and is down to only 1 litre an hour now, so she's much better than she was, but as soon as she comes off it her O2 levels drop to the low 80%'s so they have to put her back on. \they want her to have 24 hours stable without the O2 before she goes home and she sounds like she may have another chest infection too so they're wanting to keep an eye on that for her too. she's been through so much, i just wish she could get better. She's only 48 and just has awful health problems, she has fibromyalgia, anaemia, pernicious anaemia, hypertension and depression. She's always been big and i'm hoping that by getting her to join SW she will maybe feel a bit better in herself when she loses weight. The hospital keep weighing her and she's now lost 40lbs since she was admitted, so all the water retention seems to have gone plus some at too! so hoping once she's out and she sees the scales at the next class that she will be motivated to stick at it xx
