My weigh in is on a Tuesday. My pharmasist and his assistant (who normally weighs me) are off on hols for 2 weeks, so I don't know who'll be doing it tomorrow. Like you I have some scales issues at the pharmacy - their scales is set in kg and I'm depending on the assistant to calculate the conversion accurately. Sometimes I weigh different on theirs to mine. Mine is electronic like theirs but set for lbs & stones. I sometimes feel there are "maths conversion issues" going on. But I always go on mine. Tomorrow, I'm dreading because I've seen who is replacing the assistant while she's away & I know there will be conversion issues definitely. But maybe I'm just looking at the worst possible scenario, she might be fine.

My pharmacy weights in kgs also. It's a pain! I also rely on the conversion they do, and when I Googled a conversion the other week, it was a bit different. However, I know that there are about 2.2lbs in a kg, so can usually get a feel as to whether they are converting it correctly. Fingers crossed for you for tomorrow. I'm sure you'll have a good weigh in 
Well, I'm back in the room! lol. Have come out of my foul mood and put into perspective the weigh in, etc. Am looking forward now to a good week and a good loss next Monday. I didn't cheat at all today either - although wanted to SO much!
Off to bed now I think

Today has been a very good day Plus, I just survived my son's 10th birthday party tea, where everybody tucked into fish and chips, cake, biscuits, wine, etc. and I had black coffee! (freshly filtered though to make it a little bit special lol). I'm going to have my last shake in a minute
Thanks all for your support

Not really been about for a few days. Got told Wed morning that I'm being made redundant from the job I've been in for 12 years. Very sad about it, but am also ok and can see a future. I know it'll work out ok in the end
Diet wise, I've stayed strong. My son had his 10th birthday on Tuesday and we had family around in the evening. They all tucked into fish n chips, birthday cake, wine, etc. and I had black coffee! It wasn't to bad really
Wed, I had zero appetite as was so upset all day, and don't think I even had all my packs.
I must admit that I've had some very teeny slips Thurs, Fri and even today, but they have not been major and considering the stress I'm under right now, I'm forgiving myself these!
I got on my Wii Fit earlier and it told me I'd lost 5lb since last Sat! I also saw a 16 on my scales (and Wii Fit) for the first time last night. Was 16st 13 and 3/4 lol. Am really, really hoping for a good loss at official weigh in come Monday. After last weeks 2lb I need at least a 3-4!

I love the Wii Fit, but for me more as an active game. I don't think it really gets you that fit! lol. Yes, if you are totally sedentary then it's going to be more activity than you'd be getting otherwise, and it could be very useful for you during rehab after your op, to get you moving, etc. but for someone who is a regular gym user, then I'd say it's more a bit of fun. There are other games you can get though just for the Wii that would get you fitter. I have one called My Fitness Coach which is fab. It's aerobics, yoga, etc. and you can tell it if exercises are to hard or to easy and it adjusts them for you. Each workout is different also. I've built up a decent sweat doing some of the aerobics on there. I suppose it depends what you want, and how much you'll be able to do post op.

I'm going to stay here Su, but plan to bulk purchased Exante products to save some money (due to redundancy
xx
I think you'll do fine on Exante Jayne, there's far more choice and the bars have some fibre........so there's a nice poo to look forward too!
Hope something comes up on the job front, I actually put my CV in for a job yesterday......the first one to come up in my field and at my level in SIX months! But I doubt that I'll even get an interview.......not that bothered as it's mainly based in India, the ME and Africa.......but had to try in order to look willing for the OH x

Thanks Su xx
Sandra, yes, I'll look forward to that poo lmao You never know about the job. What is your area of expertise?
I had a horrid night. Worry is always worst at night when your mind has time to mull it over relentlessly isn't it Am so tired today, feel a bit sick and think I have a cold coming on Period still hasn't arrived, so thinking a lot of my grumpiness will also be hormonal as well as redundancy worries.
Financially, if I manage things correctly, I should be okay for a good 9 months to a year out of work, but it's all just so gut churning anyway. I'm even worrying about hubby losing his job now, and there's absolutely no reason for that to happen at the moment (that I know of), but because mine came out of the blue I'm worried his will too. He works in a totally different job than me! It's the current economical climate though. So stressful. If he lost his job we really would be in dire straight. He earns about quadruple what I do a month. We can absorb his loss with some uncomfortableness, but his would be devastating. Anyhow, I must stop this. To much time on my hands today to think!

Well, don't know if you're aware but Jersey is an 'offshore financial centre' which basically means that we have all sorts of legislation whereby individuals and corporations worldwide, if they can afford the advice!, can legitimately pay less tax......I used to part-own a company specialising in the provision of the entities that enable this until I sold out earlier this year. The job that I'm applying for is as a Business Development Director - looking to drum up new business from India, ME etc....
I know what the sleepless nights are like, everything is a million times worse at 4 o'clock in the morning.....have you contemplated Nytol as a temporary solution? You're bound to worry about your husband's job situation too, the economy is nowhere near as 'recovered' as the Gov. likes to make out in MHO......I'm lucky in that Paul has his own business which, touch wood, is thriving, but he doesn't actually like me not working! We had a few words about it at the weekend, he's OK whilst I'm obviously not fit to work but after that!!!!! Doesn't matter to him that I don't NEED to work, as far as he's concerned not working isn't healthy!!! He didn't sign up to get a Stepford Wife!
