Well done Minz

Just had a nosey at your outfit - very nice and I really love the shoes

 

[Angela1]

I'd love a copy of your weight chart - blank so that I can see my loss over time and well done for your 4 lbs!

Thanks Jan - am looking forward to the wedding even more now that I've almost achieved my goal of 10st 10lbs before I go.

I'd love a copy of your weight chart - blank so that I can see my loss over time and well done for your 4 lbs!

Thanks Angela - Have sent you a PM so that I can email you a template of the weight chart.....I find it a huge motivator.

Southampton is not quite near enough to come and say hello. It is nearly 70 miles from me.

Morning fat fighters

I'm going to get a new pic done Minz, a proper one and then I'll use that as my avatar. Nicky (CDC and sister) is doing a fayre thingy and wants pics of me before and now to use, so she'll be taking new one's in the next week or two. I am thinking of using those new pics, the face on one particularly on my signature on here, at least till I get the newer one's.

Congrats on the 5lb, that fantastic, I also wouldn't mind one of those chart thingies, if that's ok? I'll PM you my e-mail addy. Mind you, as I'm going to have to come off in the next few weeks, I'll have to use it when I return in the new year.

Phoned the hospital on Friday trying to find out when the op was going to be, cos they told me that they'd phone and let me know a date, so I can come off CD in time. The latest is that, they can't give me a date, but they will phone me 2 weeks before to let me know, so I can time coming off.

Weekend was busy, catching up with Kieron, doing his mountain of washing, cleaning up after him, (the house was spotless when he got home, within an hour it was a tip again).

Had a bit of an upset last week, it was the first time I'd been swimming in a few weeks, my shoulder, the chest infection, then my neighbour had a fall and hurt herself, so we couldn't go for a few weeks, only to find out that the pools are closed from this weekend, ready for a new one that does the whole town to open. But that isn't till the beginning of November and by then I'll have had the op and won't be able to go swimming for at least 2 months How disappointing, I love swimming.

Hope everyone has a great day, that you're all great big losers

 

[Angela1]

Andrea, I can't believe that you have lost 8 stone!! That is the weight of my 13 yr old. Another 8 stone down the line you won't know yourself. Eat really carefully when you are off CD and still come on here to post won't you?

 

[Caress]

aw thanks Angela, I'll still be around, but I'm going to have to leave the team I think, no wi's in for 3 months, will really let down the teams average. So after the 22nd's wi, I'm going to be leaving. Will still keep up with the team though, you're not getting rid of me that easily LOL

 

[RuthG]

Hi all, hope everyone is well. I'm battling a throat and ear infection at the moment, so not on here too much. Weight loss was goin really well until yesterday, but then I needed real food as I felt so rubbish (bad ruth!) back on plan tomorrow, hurrah.

 

[Minz]

Angela - I've sent you a blank chart and a 2nd one I populated for you (as I had your details to date) which is a short-cut if you want it Hope you find it as motivating as I do..........just love looking at the increasing grey bits lol

Caress - Great news about Nicky doing new photos for you (looking forward to seeing them and your updated avatar. You were over-generous with 5lbs congrats (it was 4lbs, but I'll take the pat on the back all the same ). I've sent you a blank excel chart for you to use (let me know if you need help with it). Fingers crossed you get a date soon for your op. Shame about the the pools closing until November - time will fly tho' and you'll be back swimming in no time.

RuthG - sorry to hear about your throat and ear infection - hard to CD when you're not well - sending you hugs and positive vibes for getting back into it.

Hi everyone

just trying to catch up with everyone's going ons in this thread lol - reading a little bit each time i log on

Hope you have all had a good day

I seem to be wishing the days away just wanting it to be weigh in again lol

 

[Minz]

Hi Jan - I was exactly the same (what do I mean was, AM), wishing the week away to WI......it's exciting losing weight and getting closer to goal. How has this week been so far for you?

 

[Angela1]

Finding my first week on SS now really hard. I have not felt hungry for 6 weeks til now. The dizzyiness and lightheadedness is overwhelming and each day I have needed a very small piece of chicken or a spoon of cottage cheese just to be able to continue working . I've nearly fainted twice. Do I have to do SS? Can I go back to SS+ 200 cals? Any advice?

 

[Minz]

I tried SS one week in Feb (I think) but stopped as I had an ear infection but felt really dizzy a few times so got a bit nervous.....SS+ is supposed to be almost the same as SS loss-wise I thought, so maybe you need a bit of food each day Angela. I'm sure a small bit each day won't do any harm.....once it's from the list of 'allowed' foods. Nearly fainting isn't good is it?

By the way, did you get the charts ok?

 

[Angela1]

haven't checked email tonight yet

 

[Angela1]

It is there, thank you.

 

[Minz]

It is there, thank you.

You're very welcome - enjoy gazing at it - you're doing SO well.

 

[Angela1]

Work is quite physical so I need something. It just feels like I'm cheating otherwise even if the foods are allowed.

 

[Minz]

Ah don't be so hard on yourself Angela - better to eat something small than go off the rails.

 

[Smudge321]

Hi

For the first time on CD I actually feel like I have an empty stomach

I cant get the thought of a little bit of chicken out of my head - all day i have been thinking about chicken - it's driving me mad.

I'm almost at the end of week 3 - wi on Thursday

I know you can have a little chicken on SS+ but I'm just scared it will start me wanting more and more

Hope you ladies are all doing ok
