NOW or NEVER, NO EXCUSES thread Part 3

[CheckpointCharlie]

Ooooooohhhh, that's exciting, and a bit of an honour, I feel like the Leader!

Yeah I had chest X-ray to confirm but I feel proper I'll slept most the day and after saying about how diet coke /Pepsi can affect weight loss . Well I'm knocking it back as found that since don't drink very often seems give me a sugar rush I need just enough get little two into bed then can flop

Johnny you and me both . I did treat myself to two news from Bravissmo at 14 stone as they were big and had a wedding go to

But I need more as they to loose on back measuring I'm a32/34 I reckon but cup size not shrinking !! And now look bigger in comparison gG/Hh anyone sigh

But am holding of a little bit longer another 7-10lb I reckon and then will go melt my bank card after discovering Bravissmo and back size shrunk enough to fit in I almost cried at the choice of designs and colours instead of granny style black or white

Hope you feel better soon Human.
Bras seem to be being talked about alot on here at the moment. One thread they said I'm a 36GG! Bought and returned 4 now and not found one to fit comfortably yet.
mycurvesandme website do nice ones and cheaper than Bravissimo.

I've been feeling odd the last few days. Tired and no energy plus feeling queasy on and off. No idea why though but not been great food wise, just eating what I fancy not huge amounts though as not very hungry.

Okay - get a cuppa this is going to take a while...

So Monday afternoon I get sudden shooting pains while breathing and my temperature kicks up to over 39. Tuesday, breathing is easier but fever still a problem. Wednesday I am feeling fine...great even and I go to work and play a badminton match. Thursday afternoon it starts up again, fever and breathing pain. This morning I am better, no fever but still some pain.

So I go to the doctor....I see a lovely woman who I have never met before (it is that kind of surgery). I tell her the above. She pokes and prods and then gets out her stethoscope, I imagine to listen to my lungs. After a while she gets this worried look on her face and after a microsecond of panic I realise that she isn't listening to my lungs but to my heart.

Me:"Just so you..."
Dr: "shh - I need to listen"
Me: "but"
Dr: "shhh"

Me:"You should know..."
Dr:"Just wait a moment"

Dr:"what were you going to say?"
Me:"I have a hole in my heart, it's supposed to sound like that"
Dr:"oh. I should have let you finish, it would saved saved some time"

Now here I have many choices, including simply saying Yes you might want to try listening to patients in general, or reading their notes before getting in a tiz etc but I take pity and opt for:

"I would have warned you but I thought you were doing my lungs"

This turns out to be a good call as she then diagnoses me as having...wait for it....a New Bra.

I try to point out that it was going better for a while and is now worse again and she rediagnoses me as being stupid enough to go back to work/badminton to soon with an unhealed injury caused by a new bra.

"Ahha" I cry "but what about the temperature?"

After a long debate concerning whether me and my husband are between us capable of detecting the difference between "feeling a little flushed" and "having a fever" armed only with a digital ear thermometer and more degrees from oxbridge than most people have fingers on their left hand, she concedes that I probably also have 'flu' and was therefore even more stupid to go back to work too soon.

I have retreated to the relative safety of my office were people only accuse me of being stupid a few times a day...and am reflecting that over all it was probably a 1-1 draw...although both goals were own goals.

So no antibiotics for me....although I'll take any spare that are going around just in case bra-flu isn't the correct diagnosis...

Lol at bra flu . Stupid Dr. Hope you are feeling ok now.
I'm really bored today.
Sat at home doing sod all. Lots i could do but that requires the energy and enthusiasm to do it!
I have made some almond cookies for DC.

ich!?!? Blimey how did you not be rude to her!? Glad you are over the flu.....!
Get well soon human and tort

I am out tonight to a friends for dinner then again tomorrow which will be a boozy one with all the kids. I need to go back to work full time so I can give myself a kick start.

Thanks for the support re feeling lardy. Yes they are all slim, not ridiculously but slimmer than me, and I hadn't ironed anything flattering so ended up with jeans that were nice when I stood up but tight when I sat down. Anyway, it is Friday which can only be good! And my legs and arm muscles are getting much stronger too!

I wish I knew what was wrong with me. I'm so tired, my eyes feel (tired) sore and my head hurts.
I would have gone to bed at 8 if I could which is really not like me. I'm in bed now. Hope I feel better in the morning.

Sorry you're all ill.

human I hope you're having a better day today. tortoise hope you feel better quickly. icb gasp! What a horrible experience,I really hate going to the doctor's without feeling they're going to ignore you and then patronise you. How did you injure yourself with a bra? And was there a hunky man in the vicinity as is normal with your stories?

A stupid question, when you're measured for a bra do they expect you to take your current bra off? Think if i unleashed my norks onto the world the resulting pressure (flappage) would cause a natural disaster like an earthquake.

checkpoint are your arm and leg muscles improving because of your personal trainer! If so that's quick. I've been doing pilates for about 7 weeks now and I do ache afterwards but generally I don't feel any different. I'd love to go twice a week but I can't find any other classes at a convenient time.

An anti diet weekend coming up as I'm going out both sat and sun evening for dinner with friends. I think there will be cocktails too. Might not weigh on Monday. Had quite a bad day today, lots of cheese and chocolate cake. It's good that even on a bad day like today where I had about 2500 cals that's nothing compared to what I used to be like.

Tortoise

How you feeling ?

Icb lol bra flu ok new bras do feel tight but pretty sure most adults can tell differance

Johnny Bravissmo first she ask what size bra your wearing and tell you what's wrong with it then will go of and get what she thinks is right size no tape measuring used . She then give you a couple and will offer stand outside you put ond on and she come check fit and then may change styled etc none of this naked measuring

Johnny enjoy your weekend

Checkpoint I'm with you I can see proper defined muscles on my Arms and look how far you come from where you started be proud and enjoy your boozy time

On other news I'm proper I'll not bra flu though am staying costs nhs as started resembling a smurf so in some heavy IV but hopefully home Monday

But first time ever I did not cringe when told need to weigh you and well Long as not messed up with food in here Monday should be good

Was nice to see in notes normal weight not the overweight or Obese /morbid obese stuff which drs then like to say that's why your ill ( this is first time been I'll in almost 2 years

Hope you are ok soon Human. Are you in hospital? Can't quite work out your message lol.

I still feel weird. Wobbly and light headed. Slight headache still too.

Meant to be out shopping with DDs but went to put gas credit in payg meter and a message comes up 'Call help'. So I phone helpline, error with meter, engineer will be with you within 4 hours!

Might still be able to get a train to town if he's not to long! But I don't really feel like walking around shops! Don't want to let DDs down though.

Yes tortoise am in hospital and tis a joke I get more rest sleeping by the motorway

Omg human I hope you're ok. Are they looking after you well?

Finally gas engineer has been. Too late to go out though.
Apart from feeling a little nauseous I'm not too bad this afternoon!
Got toothache though!

Think I now know why I felt crap for last few days.
AF has arrived 5 days early (thanks mother nature! )

Glad feeling better tortoise

Johnny and checkpoint how were your weekends how's the head checkpoint ?

You can hope your ok

Hopefully home today but since was weighed sat in here I'm 3 and 1/3 down from last week making me 10.3.6
Next week may not good as hospital stodge :(

Hiya

I am the worst thread starter person ever........I left you

I am so sorry. I have been so busy - doing work experience at school, cleaning job, kids, illness (for us all) etc etc

I just couldn't face thinking about food - these last few weeks have been so so long to me as am waiting for OH to come home...

I havn't been so bad for food. In fact I weighed this morning and I have lost 6lbs since I was last with you. This is because i am NOT weighing and keeping busy. I am now at 12st2 and so I have approx 2-3 weeks before he gets back. I am determined to see that 11 on the scales - hopefully 11st10.

Sounds like some of you have had a hell of a time recently. I am sorry I was not coming to the thread.

I am genuinely sorry. I really hope you start to feel better soon and things start going right.

points youcan towards the naughty corner

Glad you are ok and well done on the weight loss

Hi youcan congrats on the weightloss. It's good that you have lost weight without mfp and obsessing about food, presumably you've developed some good habits that will help in the long-term.

I put on a whopping 3.5 in my weekend of eating. I very rarely go out evenings and I went out twice and had big lunches and lots of snacks. I lost control and I am disappointed with myself because I largely made good choices with meals but could not stop eating crisps and nuts and other junk. I'm now 159.6 so I doubt if I'll see the 10s before Easter. I'm trying not to dwell on it, onwards and downwards. Might do a fast tomorrow and Thursday or some kind of detox because I feel really rough. I feel bloated all over and like every cell in my body has acquired a layer of fat!

human glad you're coming out today are you feeling better? tortoise hope you're feeling better.

16.3 today, 2lbs on but I will blame AF!
Glad to hear you are feeling better Human.
Good to see you youcan . Well done on the weight loss.

My weight is ricocheting around like a demented pinball.

Have set a new low tide mark of 10 st 4 however..

human nice one! hopefully you will be out of hospital soon! I thought I heard a whizzing noise midweek...must have been you flying past

johnny if you have been crisp and nutting it then thats probably a water bounce! I doubt you ate 12, 000 kcals even if you did slightly lose control
Don't give up on Easter....

Youcan so glad to hear from you! And you have been losing quietly in the corner too. Brilliant!

tort AF is a total fucker aint it? When I started out AF would always mean more pounds on...but now I find my weight is actually lowest during AF

Hi all, I forgot to weight this morn so will do tomorrow, it ain't gonna be pretty though...... Curry with friends on fri, homemade though and I didn't eat it all (that's a first). Dinner with friends on sat amazing duck and salad etc so pretty healthy except the sticky choc pudding but am pretending that didn't happen and again I was restrained and didn't eat loads of rubbish to accompany it.

Sun dinner at mum and dads, chicken etc but again was conscious of what I was eating.

Yes johnny my arms and legs are defo better because of the exercise, mainly because in Tai Chi you have to kind of stand with your legs bent a bit so you are constantly using the front thigh muscles and I do the whole our with 2kg wrist weights on which kills at the time but the evening I do it, I can feel them being much tighter.

youcan kiss kiss, wow!!!!! That is loads of weight off, I thought you looked slimmer last week!!!!

human for being a poorly pants, hope you feel better very soon. X

ich I feel the same. Demented!

I now have a wedding and a glamorous 40th party to go to in June so I need to be more controlled. I am maintaining easily and losing one or two here but then putting it back one each week - stupid!!!!

Checking in briefly :-). My dsis goes home today after 2 weeks and ill be back on the wagon tomorrow after much cake and wine. Not weighed myself but I've gained at least half a stone. Trousers are right again and feeling very bloated so def in need of a detox! On the up side we had the photo shoot and got some lovely photos that i didn't look like the fat sister in and we decorated my Living room :-)

However back to work tomorrow and its set to be a very busy month!

Johnny - 3.5lbs on over a weekend is nothing. Usually a visit to the WC sorts most of that out!! I hope you enjoyed your weekend.

I have been in a foul mood for about a month. Husbands date home is getting moved and moved. The rest I have no explanation for really. I just couldnt face coming on and thinking about my weight again again iyswim.

Tortoise - yes blame the AF. Now that I am off the pill I notice a huge difference in appetitie and cravings. i always thought it was a myth - but now it is very noticeable and hard to control.

ICB! A new target ...10st4!! That will be amazing - beyond amazing. Goodluck with it. Atleast you have hung around unlike some other

CCC- Thank you, and well done to you for sticking around. I feel like a bloody bitch for not coming on and wishing everyone goodluck and offering virtual support.. Once I forgot a week it got harder and then embarrassing to come back. Goodluck for weigh in tomorrow.

Dancing - Goodluck for your weigh loss too
Human - Pluerisy!! You poor woman. And you a virtual shadow - you must been tiny...I am in awe. You have been a massive inspiration on here. You should make a dvd Get well soon
