I thought MPK said weigh once a month...

I'm in the middle btw.

Niecie - the tests were done by the pharmacist. I went to the GP last year to ask about thyroid issues as their is a family member with one but he said it was fine, as did the hospital doctor. This was even with 2 lots of blood taken and tested in 10 days and with varying results.

Solo every night before I go to bed, and in the morning when I rub in firming lotion, I look at my tummy. Sometimes during the day I think I look thinner and feel it but the scales are telling me different.

I know what you mean FAB. My scales have gone right up and yet, I still don't feel bigger than 3 weeks ago or AFAICS look bigger...very odd!

I'm just going to look for a 'before' picture too...

I can see it now!!!

Wow Solo, you look great. That dress is very flattering - it certainly shows off your waist. TBH I am a bit - I want to look that slim.

Lovely Pic Solo You certainly suit your name!

Niecie, I too have way too much to lose to actually notice the smaller amounts each week/fortnight. I do find I am not obsessive about the scales, like I have been in the past now though. I just see it as an encouragement that I am heading in the right direction.

Although the weight loss is slower than it has been sometimes in the past for me, I dont feel as if I am dieting at all, which I know I am not, so I dont feel deprived and I have stuck with this for longer than I normally can and really dont have any inkling to throw in the towel. Yes, I have had my blips, but it is so easy to pick up again and not feel guilty.
I cant believe how many times I actually want fruit now, rather than just eating it because I could feel as if I was being "good".

Hope you feel better soon FAB. How long has it been going on for now? It seems to have been a bit longer than just your body "plateau-ing", IYSWIM.

Just going to try and dodge the showers and get some shopping. Have a good day.

Have been feeling tired all the time for years. Been off food for 10 days.

That's not good FAB. I think you need to see the GP again.

It's Ok PA, I've added you all as mates! so you can see. I've put a pic on that was taken 364 days before that one, so you can see the difference and actually! I did get fatter than that, but can't find a photo.

Oh just seen the 'before' picture now Solo. You should be so proud of yourself. What a difference a year makes!

School run!! brb!

I have had blood tests done and they all come back normal. I am on short term tablets to try and give me better quality sleep as I dream so vividly I don't feel like I have slept. When I started taking them - 1/2 twice a week - I didn't seem to dream those nights but now I do. Last week I actually went to sleep for 3 afternoons which is not like me at all.

Solo, you really are HOT . Stunning!

(Mind you, I have to say that you looked stunning in the 2010 too!)

Aw! thanks Bssh! Blimey! I must've been really really gorgeous 10 years ago then as a size 10! will never be there again, but a 12/14 would be good. No, actually it'd be great!!!

Solo - surely you can't be more than a 12/14 in that second picture?? You look slim to me, anyway, and you have a very nice figure if you don't mind me saying :)

Thanks Ephiny, believe it or not, that dress is a 16. I'm stuck between a 14 and a 16...

Fab do you get any kind of joint pain? A friend of mine has just been told she suffers from lupus which can cause fatigue as can quite a few auto-immune diseases. She had a lot of blood tests before they picked it up.

I am not eating as much as I was before I started Pauling and am steadily losing weight but I dont feel like I am pauling! I am not sure if I am truely hungry enough and think that I am not stopping when full.

I am away this weekend so when I get back I will have to give myself a firm kick up the backside :(

Will be joining you MM.

BTW, are you all on the PMK group via FB? I've just been adding some friends etc...I'm Willow Grace if you want to add me. It's not my real name btw

MM - I have fibromyalgia. I can see myself slipping back in to eating chocolate to try and wake up. Not that it works .

Sorry you are having a hard time fab

Great pic solo !

FAB, you have my sympathy; I have ME and often get horrendous pain in my legs :( it's the most dreadful pain

Thanks blimey.
