not there’s no way that’s actual weight gain!
mrs Port Talbot wasn’t the nicest and is very dominated by the refinery. The jeweller was lovely though and the designs for the new rings are beautiful. My antibiotics are really messing with my digestion. Last day of them tomorrow thank goodness.
All packed and ready to go, setting off early tomorrow morning.

Hope you have a fab time gen, have the meds at least made your throat feel any better? Fingers x'ed no flight issues, if we don't hear from you we'll know all is good.
Family party done, first Sunday in weeks with no wine so that's good. Quite tired now, here's hoping for a good sleep and a less bloaty weigh in tomorrow- although it was a vv carby party

Thanks not the meds have really helped the throat thank goodness!
I am deleting FB and Twitter off my phone while I’m away but will still be around on here from time to time I suspect 😬
I am about to have G&T which tbh I probably shouldn’t but I’m bored waiting for tan to develop 😅

Have a fab time gen

right I’m back and not happy 136.5 - half a stone to shift minimum

Not2bObvious · 04/07/2022 10:37

I didn't get to weigh in until after breakfast, even allowing for that it was a horrible horrible number. I'm at a loss to how much fluid my body can actually retain, feel like medical mystery. Proper pissed off with it all, I know it will pass because it has to, but right now I'm peeved.
Best day to start life, good luck

I might be coming out of my terrible temper, despite still being 4.4lb heavier than Friday. Must be linked to a very carb heavy weekend combined with a pretty long body-pump that I'm still quite sore from. It's been infuriating though. Anyway, time to get over the mood & get back to work, decent breakfast required with lots of protein, I'm thinking bacon & eggs 😋

Hi all
My scales hasn't had its battery replaced yet, think it's over a week since I weighed. It was also my week off pill which fluctuates my weight & my hunger.

Plenty of walking & eating well but not tracking or following a particular plan right now.

Not2bObvious · 05/07/2022 09:40

I'd be tempted to just go with clothes or a waist measurement happier, scales is an utter head-wrecker when trying to get back into. Doing well with food & getting some movement will pay off in more ways than just numbers on the scales.
I'm feeling a bit crap tbh, bit of a chesty cold pain in my chest and dry throat.

lifelongfrugaleer · 05/07/2022 17:49

Urgh out of routine today and into a kit Kat and Cornetto

Not2bObvious · 05/07/2022 19:50

Can only see the first line of your pm (something weird on phone?) no I think the whole thing is DONE. But maybe I should check tattle for sure😉

Ah I see, she works in the same building as me and I wondered

lifelongfrugaleer · 05/07/2022 21:14

My word not you’ve sent me down a rabbit hole here

Not2bObvious · 05/07/2022 22:01

Oh dear, that is a rabbit hole & a half! Omg, that's funny, she's on fb & TikTok, but I don't think she's still banging their drum if you get me, it's all a hot mess quite frankly.
Happy reading😉

Gen & DH have a lovely time on your honeymoon Sweetheart ❤️💒💍👰

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 05/07/2022 22:29

Not that seems impossible to put in that much weight over the weekend it has to be water retention , l can remember the same happening to me when l first started running , l couldn't believe l was putting on weight but it's those little tears in the muscles they suck up the water, at least that is my take on it 🤔

TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 05/07/2022 22:33

I have no idea what you are talking about you two but l hope you are thoroughly enjoying it 😋
Been busy today so am fine thankfully ☺️
Happier you will be fine without the scales l am sure don't worry ☺️
Life am sure you enjoyed that KitKat , nothing like a KitKat and try are not that bad in Kcals either ☺️

Not2bObvious · 06/07/2022 06:29

Sorry mrs, very rude of me, just goss about RH.
I think I might have finally caught the cv. Feel crap🙁

OP posts:
lifelongfrugaleer · 06/07/2022 06:46

Yeah just RH gossip
oh no not hope you rest up and feel better soon

Not2bObvious · 06/07/2022 07:40

Thanks life, dreadful nights sleep & just so flipping uncomfortable. Exhausted but can't sleep, have to try keep clear of the rest of the family. Don't even think I'm hungry but will try the buttery toast breakfast, get some fats in.
On an up note, scales moving down v slowly but down nonetheless. Now have to tell friend I can't go somewhere with her this weekend, raging😖

OP posts:
TheNewlmprovedMrsMadEvans · 06/07/2022 08:37

Not rude at all sweetheart l don't think that of you ☺️
I hope you are ok Not it's horrible for you lovely. l know it's not supposed to be as bad as it was but l still think it's pretty bad 💐hope you feel much better very soon ☺️

Not2bObvious · 06/07/2022 08:44

Aww thanks mrs, hoping it's going to be mild - feeling more alive after tea & toast.

Gensola · 06/07/2022 09:39

sorry you’re sick not if someone has the chance to DM me the goss please do - I’m a survivor of RH myself 😅
Our apartment here is glorious and weather perfect; we are off to explore a new beach later. We’ve been adopted by a tiny kitten.

Not2bObvious · 06/07/2022 09:45

I don't know what the story is with DMs on the app so I can't but I'd just say look at the Tattle website and search TeamRH. It's a proper wormhole though.
It sounds fab apart from the kitten, scared of cats/dogs/most animals!
