Have been trying to lose some weight since dd was born and she is now two. I am hoping that I can stay motivated this time.

Hello ladies, long time no seeBlush

Nice to see you newcomers, welcome MrsSalvatore, cardibach & fluffypinkcurlygirl hope I haven't missed anyone off!

Well I took my eyes off the ball last week, partly due to complacency and partly due to being so busy, and have put on 1.5lbs Blush, I was just grabbing at any food I could find, oh and it was my dd birthday last weekend so lots of cake and goodies were brought into the house to celebrate.

Hopefully I'll be back on track this week, hope all goes well at the doctors on Wednesday Tortoise.

Keep up the good work everyoneGrin

Tortoise · 15/01/2012 17:28

Hi small. Hope DD had a good birthday Smile.
Not eaten much today, keep feeling nauseous. Toast for breakfast, soup and bread for lunch and packet crisps.
Tea is macaroni cheese. Looks yummy just don't fancy it now! Will eat a bit I'm sure.

cardibach · 15/01/2012 18:13

Weigh in tomorrow (onlyh in jy own bathroom, but still...). I have eaten well and exercised loads so I should lose loads. I predict a pound if I am lucky.

Furball · 17/01/2012 06:47

been busy the last few days so haven't been here much. How is everyone doing? I've forgotten to wi the last two mornings. I think I'll leave it till next monday now and try and have a bigger loss to keep the motivation up.

Thanks furball. Will let you know how I get on!

Tortoise · 18/01/2012 13:01

Well, I'm still none the wiser as to what's wrong with me Sad. All she did was weigh and measure me and go through symptoms. Asked if I felt pregnant! Said make appointment to have blood taken to check thyroid and check if pregnant too. I thought she might at least feel my tummy for any problems. Really down and feeling crap and tearful now.

cardibach · 18/01/2012 15:16

Been very busy this week, so haven't posted. I lost a kilo last week, bringing my total to 3.8kg or approx 8 pounds. I'm feeling better, too - or I was, til I had the day from hell at work yesterday.

Furball · 18/01/2012 18:17

tortoise - Sorry you are disappointed. I think the doctors reasoning is a chemical imbalance rather than a physical one hence the blood tests etc.

She isn't fobbing you off, even though you feel it. you need to wait (I know it'll seem longer than it probably really does) for the results of the bloods, then she'll take action from there Smile.

See on paper - it sounds sensible, but that doesn't help your emotions. - Keep posting though and we'll limp you through the wait Smile

Thanks furball Smile. Will feel like a long wait I'm sure. B

Tortoise · 18/01/2012 19:32

Oops hit post to soon!
By Friday next week I should know more hopefully. Guess results will take about a week. Blood being taken Friday afternoon.
Her scales agree with mine which means mine do work properly lol!

Smalline · 19/01/2012 17:05

Hope you are feeling better today Tortoise.

Good going cardibach well done.

Tortoise · 20/01/2012 18:06

Blood taken and results should be back by weds, maybe earlier. Sooner the better!
Not doing too bad, few slip ups. Will weigh in tomorrow morning if I remember.

Tortoise · 22/01/2012 10:22

Somehow I weigh 15st 6 this morning Shock. That's about 4lbs off I think!

Furball · 22/01/2012 12:32

Wow tortoise - well done

OP posts:
Furball · 23/01/2012 07:35

1 lb off this morning - and I didn't try that hard, so am pleased really. If i can lose 1 lb a week not trying hard - then that is totally fine by me.

am off out for a long walk today and re-starting week 1 of me meal planner.

Minestrone soup for tea.

Well done furball.Smile

Smalline · 23/01/2012 16:58

Well done Furball & Tortoise on your losses, tortoise looks like all your hard work has finally payed offSmile.

I stayed the same this week, hoping for a better result next week.

Breakfast - porridge
lunch - NCG veg soup
snack - tangerine, pear, 2 spoons peanut butter
Spag bol for dinner.

Tortoise · 23/01/2012 19:31

Probably put it all back on today. Been a right piggy.Blush
Hoping blood test results are in tomorrow if not it will be Wednesday.

Tortoise · 24/01/2012 17:04

Blood test results are in. All clear on both so no idea what is wrong other than I'm a fat pig! She said to get appointment for new coil to be put in as that's well past working and could be causing problems but unlikely.

So tonight I have had veg soup, no bread!
And I will get a piece of fruit soon as I'm really hungry!
