I am brand new to xenical

[Earthmother]

All set for a good week. My grandson and I made a birthday cake for my son this morning and I didnt lick the bowl! I thought I'd share with you the 'compliment' 3 year old Ben paid me which is one of the spurs that got me started on my weight loss. He was staying with us one Saturday night and after bathtime we were having a lovely cuddle on the sofa when he looked up at me with a cherubic smile and said "You're very fat Nannie, just like Santa Claus". Bless, he thought he'd said something nice to me! Needless to say, I don't wear my red pyjamas any more!

Well, I ate before calculating calories today and my totals are 1711cals 18.9g fat. As you can see I am managing the fat well, but the calories are running away with me. This total includes a bottle of wine, the last I'm going to have till Saturday night.

Well, I've had my 4th weigh-in and I've lost another 2 lbs, thats 7lbs in 4 weeks. Absolutely over the moon. I'm hoping that the slower it comes off the more chance of staying off. Keeping off the booze this week is the key I think. I'm off to open a well deserved bottle of Claret, followed by a couple of brandies.

[Kes]

well done on the loss!! bet you feel amazing for it!

 

[Earthmother]

I am going to try to put in a ticker of my waist measurement - according to my tape measure I've lost 4 INCHES! I can really feel it.
Didnt measure anywhere else but I'm going to do it now. (my size 22 jeans are falling off!)

 

[Earthmother]

Cant seem to get the ticker.

Twenty minutes later:
There it is, but I've lost my weight loss ticker.

 

[purple_kathryn]

It's showing up for me

 

[Earthmother]

Had another go at tickers

Still no luck.

5 minutes later :
Got my weight ticker back but lost the waist one.

 

[Short for my weight]

Well done on your loss, that's brilliant. x

 

[want2byummymummy]

Well done Lizzie, that a brilliant weight loss. Your inch loss is fantastic, I wish I had taken some measurement before hand too, I know i must of lost something off my waist as can get into smaller size trousers, but I think my arms feel thinner at the top - dont know if its my imagination or not.

Keep it up and hope you enjoyed the Claret! Well deserved bonus xx

 

[Earthmother]

Having another go at tickers. Can you have two tickers on at the same time? I want my weight one and a waist inch loss one but cant seem to do it.

 

[Earthmother]

Sorry about this messing about but I'm having another go at the tickers.

10 minutes later :

Well, now I've lost my weight loss ticker but I've got TWO waist tickers. Back to the drawing board.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

 

[Kes]

i gave up with the ticker factory tickers!!! i could never get to fix them so to speak... so i went for the my fitness pal one!! really easy...
try deleteing all the text you have for the sig, and then get the code for it again is the only advice i can give
