Sick of carrying 2 hitchikers, Part 2....1 down 1 to go !!!!!!!

[Lily42uk]

I'm on the blue yakult to which is reduced sugar (but probably more sweeteners) I read that even if you're on AB's they do help but you're supposed to leave as long as possible between AB's etc to take probiotics. ie if AB's night and morning take probiotic midday. Makes sense I suppose as AB's activity will be half gone and gives you as long as possible for the probiotics to work before being killed off by next AB. I'm of the opinion that for a few quid it's worth a try.

I'm still not sure VR is right but on balance I think I can't pass it up. Terms are good atm but subject to change after June this year and rumours about of terms going to 2 wks for each yr rather than 4. The work environment has really deteriorated recently too with outsourcing and office politics and I frankly can't be ar$ed with it all any more. I'll just have to live quiet and get on with using all the hobby stuff I already own. I do have enough for at least three lifetimes as it is.

I tend to take my Yakult at supper time, take my steroids during the day and figured I should have Yakult after they have "gone" down..I'm with you and not just with Yakult, i'll try anything within reason (cost wise)if it gives me some relief or helps.

Mal had the choice and I use the word choice very loosely, when he was made redundant. He had to take a test when redundancy came up, which he passed, but what they told him was that the next time they needed to make cuts they wouldn't be offering redundancy and that while he had passed the test this time, because he was "old school" and they wanted new boys to train their way, that he probably wouldn't make it through the tests next time, so after 31 years with London Transport and 27 of those as an Inspector and then asst Garage manager, he took the redundancy and hated it from that day to this....but like I said he had no choice...in the long run I do believe it was the right choice for all concerned but it was really hard at the time...so can really empathise with you hun xxx

i have only just joined today and the first post I have read is yours.
i don't even know you and yet I feel soooooooo proud of your MASSIVE achievement. At 31 stone starting weight I can imagine the motivation to start when the end goal seemed so far away must have been very difficult. Not only did you do it but over 11st lost so far - what a total inspiration you are

my journey is nowhere as big, I only need to lose about 3st but I find it soooo hard.

Thank you for sharing your info and I will be following your progress.
WELL DONE x

Hello Caitlin and :welcome2: to my diary, thank you so much for your lovely comments, they really have made my day. It was and still is a big hill to climb to reach goal, but I will do it...this time for the first time in my life I have the bit between my teeth and I am not giving up or giving in, not even when i reach my goal as I know me ...so this is me for life x
I am sure you will have no problems shedding that 3st, there are so many lovely, friendly, helpful people on minimins who are only too happy to give advice, tell you off when needed and genuinely support everything you do. Between my SW class mates and my minimins family I have enough support to push me until I reach that goal and then support me while I maintain. Well done for your future losses and commitment to losing the weight hun, this is just the first step. If you haven't already start your own diary, it really helps to keep a record, and once again thank you for dropping by, you're most welcome anytime xxx:hug99:xxx

Fab result lovely Lily. Well done.

Thank you lovely Patsy, I am so looking forwards to the coming weeks I just feel sooooo motivated and after a goodish day at the hospital, even more committed to keeping it up xxx:hug99:xxx

You my lovely cyber mini mates friend are clearly on a roll. Long may it continue ;-)
