You're posting like a good 'un on other people's diaries and neglecting you own....
hope things are all as good as they can be with you.
Why do we always have to damage our "good" hands/arms etc. its not fair!
Keep your chin up xx

Hello all - thanks for resurrecting my diary.
I'm back at work but wrist still very painful and I've been having problems with my other hand; probably down to overusing it with my right hand being out of action. I'm going to see if the doc can prescribe something or refer me to the orthopods.
Diet-wise, well the thread title says it all. Here in body but not in spirit. Although I have chucked out all clothes that don't fit and bought some new ones in the right size rather than keep telling myself I won't buy new clothes because they might not fit for long. I had started to feel frumpy.
I do want to get back on track though. I'm going to aim to maintain and be happy if I lose for now and see if my mojo returns. Maybe Sandy can lend me some spare click
Edited to add: on the plus side, Keith, Muffin and I are taking advantage of the nice weather to do lots of long walks along the riverside

Hi guys, just a quick post before I go to work...
After a lot of soul-searching I have decided to give Slimming World a try. I've been faffing about since the wedding and haven't lost the honeymoon weight and I can't seem to get back on track.
I have a friend who goes to SW classes so I'm going to go with her starting a week on Monday.
If it's ok with Sandy and Irene, I'd like to keep this diary in here, like Lydia does, to post my progress - that way I know I'll be staying in touch with my friends on this bit of the board.
I've started a SW diary in that section too, where I can wibble about SW stuff
Thanks for all your support so far and hope to be back on track now!!!

hi again. well i'm back after (feels like a very) long absence.
haven't been sticking to any diet and have regained a stone, which is disappointing. i'm trying intuitive eating at the moment - you use a satiety scale to determine hunger levels. that, combined with the fact that i've gone from vegetarian to mostly vegan, has meant i have lost 4lbs in a week and a half, which i'm happy about and we'll see how i get on.
on a personal note, married life is still lovely - keith is having a lie-in as i type this; he's all snuggled up to me so i'm trying to type one-handed so i don't wake him. josh has got a job in brighton, assistant manager of a night club. he starts on monday (my baby is leaving home!). widgy house is still a work in progress so is kitchen-less at the moment but we're not moving in till October as we're on the boat at the moment so not a big problem.
On a less happy note, I'm having lots of problems with both my hands now and waiting for results of tests. Apparently I have "thin arm syndrome" so at least one part of my body is officially recorded on my medical notes as being thin! I have pins and needles in my hands all the time now and can't lift or grip very well. I'm hoping the doc will refer me to a specialist hand centre in Derby but at the moment he's taking the tack that nothing can be done so learn to live with it. One of the nurses at work has told me to ask for a second opinion.
Anyway, good to be back and I'll keep you posted with my progress - it really is time I got my backside back into gear as I've faffed about, weight-loss wise, since the wedding and I have a friend's wedding in six weeks and nothing nice to wear!
