Hi all. I am still around too, just been unwell and in hospital for the last five days. Yet another flare up related to my gallstones so I missed my weigh in this week. I know I have lost though because the doctors didn't let me eat anything for three whole days!
Glad to see continuing successes Will be back next Monday after my weigh in.

Ags · 13/06/2008 18:41

Oh mammyjo, sorry to hear you have been so ill. I really hope they can sort those out very soon. It sounds as if you are really suffering. Good luck for Monday.

loler · 13/06/2008 23:17

Ags - you've done so well, you must be half way to 'normal' by now then.

Mjo - you must have been really bad to end up in hospital with your stones. Hope you are feeling better. Have you been offered an opperation? good luck for monday - hopefully hospital food will have done its job (although I loved it when in having dd!)

mammyjo · 16/06/2008 10:00

I am on the waiting list to get my gall bladder removed. The docs said that if I get another bad attack then it will have to come out then, in the meantime they are going to speak to my consultant to see if I can be pushed up the list a bit.
I am crossing my fingers for a date quickly as I have been told that with the attacks I am getting, things will only get worse until I get the surgery. That's a cheery thought isn't it!

Ags · 16/06/2008 22:23

Loler, thanks, yes almost at halfway now!

Oh Mammyjo, I think this is a good thing as you have been suffering so much. Keep us posted. How is the pain at the moment?

mammyjo · 17/06/2008 09:55

Hi all. I lost 2lbs last night taking me up to 31lbs. I am really pleased. At the beginning of the year I would never have said I would have lost over 2 stone!

Ags, the pain comes and goes. Some days it is really uncomfortable then others it is more of a dull ache kind of thing. Part of me wishes it would kick off again just so that I would get something done, but on the other hand I don't want the horrific pain again. Can't win!

Oh MJ. Things sound as thought they've been grim for you - my blokey keeps telling me "you've never experienced pain like gall stones", he said it was just unbearable, so much worse than child birth (!!!!) of course! If ever there was an upside to it tho, 31 lbs is such an achievement. Well done, really well done.

Ag's what can I say - you are my hero. AMAZING!

I'll be back after weigh in on Thursday. Dipped out last week, don't know why, just did. Slacker.

Ags · 17/06/2008 18:56

Mammyjo, well done! You are doing superbly especially with all you have been through medically.

Oliviasmum, we all have days where we dip out!!! Good luck on Thursday!

Very to have lost 4 lbs this week. YIPPEEEEEE!

Ags - 4lbs at this stage is fab! Well done.

I lost 1lb this week (9lb to my next target) but sure I'll have put it all back on again as dds birthday today and have over done it on a yummy cake that I made (She wanted a lemon and chocolate one so couldn't make the lowfat, cook yourself thin chocolate beetroot one).

Hope you get your gallstones sorted quickly.

Ags · 17/06/2008 22:22

Loler, well done! That cake sounds seriously delicious. Lucky dd!

mammyjo · 24/06/2008 09:22

Hi all. Just popping in quickly to say I didn't make my meeting this week. Very good reason though! I was admitted to hospital again on Friday afternoon with pain, but had my gall bladder removed on Saturday evening!

I am home, sore, but very relieved that it is all over. The awful pain that has been with me for months is gone and I feel generally better in myself already. Hoping that once the soreness goes I will get back to normal pretty quickly.
Hope everyone is well, will be back soon xxx

Ags · 24/06/2008 15:55

Oh brilliant Mammyjo. I am delighted to hear that finally it is all over for you and you are now recovering. Take care of yourself and take things easy.

I had my weigh in this week and lost 5 lbs. Don't ask me, I have no idea but I am bloody grateful!! I was good but even so, I can't believe I lost this much. Only 3lbs away from 5 stones now!

Well done, girls!

Ags · 30/06/2008 21:17

Is there anybody out there? Have you all lost so much weight you have disappeared?!

moodlumthehoodlum · 30/06/2008 21:20
Ags · 30/06/2008 21:23

Awww, moodlum, thanks for the wave! Hope all is good with you.

moodlumthehoodlum · 30/06/2008 21:41

Ags I'm good, if still fat.

You on the other hand are super duper skinny minnie. Your weight loss is bonkersly good. I'm in awe. Well well done. You must be so happy .

Ags · 30/06/2008 22:18

Moodlum, don't be fooled, I also am still fat, just less fat!! I was a super porker, now just a porker and hoping to become a chipolata.

And having a bad week so hopping back on the wagon tomorrow!

ShortandSweet · 01/07/2008 00:26

I think no one want s to report because they have either stayed the same or gained. I have stayed the same

TestyClay · 01/07/2008 00:43

Hello everyone tis vvvqv

I fell off the wagon seriously for a few weeks. However, all my extra efforts on my allotment have counteracted any major side effects of not sticking to my diet.

Anyhow, a week back on it and I've lost more weight! I'm at my lightest since starting this diet

Glad you are feeling better mammyjo.

Well done everyone else.

Hello Short - well done on staying the same. I think half the trouble of dieting is that it can pile back on so quickly so well done on keeping it off.

VVV, hello. Well done to you on the loss. Good old allotment is obviously doing the trick!!

I didn't weigh in this week. Had a sneaky look this morning and looks like I put on a pound but am seriously back on it today so please don't make me post a gain! Ridiculous but very important psychologically!

mammyjo · 03/07/2008 15:23

Hi all! I went to club this week and have lost another 3.5lbs. Unfortunately I think it is going back on too! I have rediscovered the pleasures of food containing fat this week, and have rather overindulged!! Thorntons chocs, cheese, muffins, cakes, mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! Oh well, a gain next week should spur me back into action
Good to see a few of us back on the thread, was starting to wonder where everyone had sloped off to!

Well done Mammyjo! I am really pleased you are on the mend too.

I had a bad week last week (kind of a holiday after six months of being good) but am back on track this week. Have just sorted out my wardrobe and I am pleased to report nothing fits!!!!! Tried on a jumper that I wore a lot last winter and it looks like a dress, no actually, a tent! My ds got into it with me and there would have been room enough for the whole family. Think I will keep it and my largest pair of jeans to remind me what not to do!

fedda · 05/07/2008 14:36

Good idea, Ags.

Finding it so hard going at the minute, I barely write a thing down and am struggling not to mainline shit food.

Come on, I've lost 2 stone - but had lost 2 stone in April. I know it's good that it's coming off slowly but it's not coming off at all now. PLEASE motivate me!

I will say one thing - I can do 15 sit ups now. Unthinkable at Christmas and it's purely because there is less blubber in the way!
