Meant to add that I have my scan tomorrow for my probable gallstones, so at least I will be starting to get one health issue resolved!

Ags · 21/04/2008 11:44

Hope all goes well tomorrow Mammyjo!

VeniVidiVickiQV · 21/04/2008 13:21

I've lost 2lbs last week! Woohoo! Getting there slowly but surely. Despite lots of birthdays and associated cake!

Sorry you are still feeling poorly mammyjo

Well done

Ags · 21/04/2008 17:42

Well done VVV! The trousers will definately be going south now!

mammyjo · 21/04/2008 19:33

Hi all. Scan was ok, showed lots of small gallstones apparently. Back to see GP on Friday to see where I go from here. Feeling much better in myself now, cold on its way out thankfully and pain is controlled with co-codamol most of the time!

Anyway, went to WW and have lost 3.5lbs. I am pleased, but at the same time I know its because I am just not right at the moment and struggling with my appetite which I am really not used to doing. Hey ho, you would think I would be overjoyed, but this is a harsh way to lose weight I can tell you!

Well done on your loss VVV, hope you have got some smaller trousers now

Mammyjo - I am glad your scan went O.k. Now you know what the problem is you can begin to tackle it. Really sorry you are in pain

I have just come back from my meeting tonight and have lost another 3.5 lbs. I know it is going to start slowing up now, but I am really pleased with the good start.

Wow Ags! That is fantastic! Well done Losing weight can be an emotional thing sometimes can't it. I wouldn't worry, I am sure the leader has seen that reaction many times before!

ShortandSweet · 22/04/2008 13:33

Oh my god ags I can't believe you have lost 43.5 so far. That is amazing.

Well done Banana and mammyjo on your losses.

loler · 22/04/2008 15:13

Well done yet again! I haven't lost anything but am also pleased not to have put anything on either. have been trying hard this week though so hoping to be a loser in the near future.

Ags you must be looking really different. new summer wardrobes all round for us

I'm getting so lazy about the points counting. But I am finding that if I try to stick to the eating patterns I have learned, and keep walking about, and never ever eat until I feel sick (because yes, I did do that) the weight keeps coming off.

The only time I put on was when I hurt my back, and lay around in a diazepam induced haze, eating and only moving to slowly shuffle to the toilet of boost Small Boy into his cot!

SmugColditz · 23/04/2008 10:45

Oh and .....

Anyone else's tits look like 2 sandbags?

mammyjo · 23/04/2008 10:55

My boobs aren't too bad yet, but my belly is like a dangly, wrinkly scrotum! It has definitely got smaller, but there is not so much filling it out now so it is flappy and gross. I need a tummy tuck. Perhaps if I do need my gallbladder removed I can ask for that at the same time

mammyjo · 23/04/2008 10:57

Well done on your loss too colditz!

ShortandSweet · 23/04/2008 11:00

My belly is like yours mammyjo but it has been like that ever since I had a C section 2yrs ago. It's so depressing.

My boobs have always been like sand bags smugcolditz because they are so big. I have never been able to go without a bra.

SmugColditz · 23/04/2008 11:03

Mammyjo what an apt description! My stomaoch also looks like a scrotum.

I don't want to go below 10 stone, to be honest, because I am scared of looking like a scrotum.

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 11:58

oh I am still breastfeeding atm so my spaniels ears are yet to materialise

loler · 23/04/2008 12:01

I thought my tummy looked like a deflated balloon, but a scrotum is a much better discription. DS2 has been ill so boobs not sure what they're doing on the milk front so currently look like I've had a Jordan type boob job. Got told off by 2 lots of friends for running myself down and both said they were going to get me on Look good naked.

Does anyone else think that programme is a bit weird? They look eaxcly the same naked but with nice hair?

DS1 birthday this weekend - going to make him a chocolate beetroot cake from cook yourself thin. Is this cruel?

oiFoiF · 23/04/2008 12:07

pmsl loler, I really dont get the program either
