Morning all,
After a rubbish start to the week I tried to pull my socks up as I know eating and falling off track won't help my daughter or myself.
I'm so pleased I've had a better end to the week. . . . . .
13.8 at last ( not a massive drop but my lowest for around 2 years )
It now puts me in the Overweight category rather than the obese band. I could have a flipping party, I am seriously buzzing and this will keep me in track no matter what this week brings ! ! !
I'm back to work full time & full shifts from tomorrow but a nice short shift this afternoon.
My next weigh in with my Consultant is next Sat so I'm not going to post another weigh in until then.
I won't hit my initial Jan target of 14 lb off but my next aim is to be in the 12's by valentines weekend where I have 2 nights away with the hubby.
Hope everyone is having a fab weekend

Ah super well done angel getting out of the obese bracket must be so motivating for you and a positive for you to focus on. U must be really starting to notice and feel different inside and out now and finding so many things u can do or do easier than before. Xx

Thanks WPW ,
Some things I notice a huge difference other things not so much.
I'm miser certainly feeling much more active & flexible ( not sure how much of that is the weight loss and how much is a improvement in my bad back )
Clothes wise my stuff must have been cutting me in two as some stuff is still wearable even after the loss which is over 3 stone other stuff is HUGE
For me my main things are my fitness getting back to where it was & not being as bloated.
I tried some swimwear again this morning and was ever critical, obviously at 13.8 I'm still no cover girl lol but 10 weeks until my holiday so hopefully by then I will be even happier with my shape.
I'm going to up my activity once the really bad weather has gone, I love walking early mornings but some mornings the ground is so slippy I wouldn't be able to get a decent pace so shall hold off a couple of weeks.
Hope your doing ok. Will catch up once I'm home from work x

Morning all,
Today is my 1st full day back at work, full time & full shifts :-(
As much as I blooming well love my job I've not done it since June last year due to my back problems and other medical issues which are now under control.
My whole routine is going to have to change.
I've had my 1st product which is very very early for me.
I shall have another shake prior to leaving for work and take with me a bar & my veg water flavouring to have a hot drink later.
It's impractical for me to take a whisk / blender and also not at all practical to take a Spag Bol lol.
I know I will get into a good routine pretty fast but my roster does change every two weeks but I know I've managed before ( 2012 ) and will do it again.
A new week ahead and my official weigh in with CDC on Sat, excited and a little disappointed at the same time. I know had I not have had so much time off in Dec I would be in a much better place BUT I also know had I not of started I would be in a lot worse shape than I am now.
10 weeks toy holiday so as always lots to look forward to.
Here's to another fab week for us all x x x
Ps
My daughter has her Amnio tomorrow at noon but for the moment I'm trying not to think about it ( results on Wed ) just wanted to keep you up to date as a lot of lovely messages so thank you all x

Morning lovely,
Just catching up on your amazing progress! You're doing so well and to get into the overweight category is fab! I remember how good it felt getting to that point!
I've been faffing about too much in January - need to get back in the zone - I seem to have been working on getting back to upper target too much and I need to actually do that so I can start work on my final 1/2st!
Hope all went will with your weekend shifts!

Evening all . . . . .
Another 100% SS day
I'm a bit muddled as I've had a 1 to 2 lb gain in the past couple of days,
I have not swayed except in the respect of products . . . . I've had a mixture of CWP, exante & slim n save ( I bought a mixture from eBay )
That is the only difference but surely that wouldn't cause me to gain ? ? ?
I'm flipping foaming although not enough to topple me, if anything its making me more determined to stick with it as I so badly want the blooming drop !
It's my official weigh in on Sat & I'm also out on Sat with a group of girl friends ( about 10 of us ) Italian meal then all day drinking :-(
Not got a clue what to wear but as I've messed around so much my Xmas / dec stuff still fit so suspect it will be jeans and a top.
It will be a calorie laden day & night but I fully plan to be 100% until then and sat right back after.
Hope everyone is having a good start to the week.
Daughter had her amino today and they said she may actually get the results after 4 tomorrow If not it will be Wed. . . . .
Will keep you all posted x x x

Morning lovely,
Well done on sticking with it - I would be fuming too at those scales! Are the cal contents the same with the other sachets? I'm sure they are but as you said, that is the only difference to usual...or maybe doing a longer shift your body has to get used to it again?
I'm sure it'll all come out in the wash and those scales will give you a nice big drop before Saturday.
Keep us posted about your daughter, a stressful time for you i'm sure, but know that we're here for you if you need us.

Hey angel
Hope all goes okay for the little ones results
Your mobility I'm sure has improved due to a combination of weight loss and your back improving.
Also good to feal more comfortable in clothes. I've got to that stage now where my clothes are flattering other than stretching but at the same some I have got to a comfortable place the lower 16s I start to feel good again but I need to break into the 15s but when u start to feel good about your shape again it does make it a bit harder psychologically I think.
Here's to a good day / week x

Morning all,
Today the scales are still + 1 lb, I'm going to stick with Cambridge only products and see how it goes.
Full shift at work today so a bit extra activity compared to my days off. Walk to & from my station is around 1.2 miles In total, not a lot at all but I track it and then walk lots at work, you could say I walk from Newcastle to London lol.
The hardest part is avoiding the first class comps although the bottled water is a godsend for tracking my water intake.
I'm feeling confident this morning of a loss by Sat. . . . , I know the drop comes it's just frustrating at times especially when I know I've been 100%.
Today is 10 weeks exactly to my holidays
I would love another 2 stone loss by then, it would be more if I didn't have things planned between now & then.
Will catch up with you all now and hope your all doing ok x x

the scales will sort themselves out but I feel for ya as it ain't t fun. Every thing in the right direction helps and a regular walk to work is part of that so good on you, the constant walkin when at work sorted! Even with your nights out 2st is not beyond the realms of possibility however you are still goin to be lookin fabulous even if you didn't t lose another pound, which for the record soo ain't happening! I'm trying not to get too hung up on a certain figure just concentrating on the direction I'm going.
i have been thinkin about you and you daughter so sending some Scottish love your way

Thanks Jen,
They had said we may receive a call today after 4 but we didn't so it will be tomorrow now ( wed )
I'm just in from work & had my phone in my hand for almost a hour between 4 and 5 keep checking it.
One moment I feel it will all be ok ( she does have Talipes but with the worry of the other stuff that's nothing ) then the next moment I think they wouldn't have worried us if it wasn't a genuine concern . .
Anyway around 16 hours and we should know.
I'm off work tomorrow so shall no doubt be online and catching up with TV etc to keep busy.
I had another 100% day today, I stuck with 3 CWP products, no more mix n match with other plans. I just don't have time to mess about and I'm out on Sat with girls so I need to keep strong as will do damage then :-(
Hope everyone has had a fab day x

angel i was checking with one of my work mates (we re podiatrists) and she said about 80% of diagnosis have no other problems so the odds are heavily stacked in your favour. they do have to inform you of the worst case, hard but this is just the way it is. this doesn t help until you get the all clear but there is high possibility it will be alright

Evening all. . . . .
Baby is a diva with Talipes, it looks like the rest was worry for nothing. Fingers crossed the Amnio doesn't have any consequences and all should progress.
Once baby ( Katy ) is born they will assess and progress with treatment quite fast and she should be ok by the she of 4. They can see it's both feet but the success rate of " fixing " them is very high. Casts & a bar at night as she gets a little older.
Sorry to ramble but super super happy,
Her talipes is nothing compared to what could have been.
Thanks again for all of the support.
I'm so blooming tempted to have a tin of tuna to celebrate but would be annoyed in the morning so shall refrain lol.
Thanks again everyone x x x x x x
