GettinTrimmer · 15/04/2010 20:33

PBM take care xx Will think of you

blondes good luck for tomorrow, sure you've worked off a heap of cals.

bebe well done on your boxing - thinking of getting a wii fit.

I have also exercised again today, Davina's Aerobic section and top fit with the dumbbells.

bebejones · 15/04/2010 21:03

PBM - thinking of you, hope it all goes ok 2moro! x

Trimmer - I really really must do some Davina, you have inspired me to do some 2moro. Prob the abs section on mine as tummy is feeling a little wobbly!! But do like the upper body section too so might give that a go, just don't want to overdo it!

Blondes - sure you must have worked off all those calories! Good Luck for 2moro's weigh in!

Have topped off todays bad snacking by having the last chocolate hot cross bun after dinner! Had to remove them from the freezer to get the extra chilli in!! Oops, hopefully all the Davina I'm planning will help

PBM. Thinking of you today.

What Wii fit game is everyone using? We have a Wii plus a board thingy. What does everyone recomend for exercising?

bebejones · 16/04/2010 08:55

Piste - I am desperate for the board. DH keeps resisting! I'm still using just the sports and go hell for leather on the boxing part. Must burn some cals, thinking I might get some wrist weights to help with the upper body workout effect!! Will be watching to see what ppl recommend as I may have another attempt at convincing DH that we need the bpard!

PBM - good luck, hope it all goes ok x

Poohbearsmom · 16/04/2010 10:26

Well done Blondes and definatly all my best wishes for your dh thank you all for all your lovely messages iv been here since 8 and am still waiting to go to theatre so bored! Now im going to leave it up to ye to decide... when i get out of here do i eat a healthy soup or sumit equally low fat/cal or do i go all out and get a SUBWAY SANDWICH???

bebejones · 16/04/2010 11:08

PBM - treat yourself to a subway!!! Have it on wheat bread and don't have cheese and only light mayo and you should be fine! Subway Club is my favourite & it's low fat if you don't have cheese! Hope it all goes well!

Well done Blondes on STS, and good luck to Mr Blondes!

Just been into town to Sains, and have just realised that the mince I had bought to make burgers earlier this week (not from Sains) is out of date so now will have to walk to Tesco in a min to get some more beef, wish I'd realised before I went to Sains!!
Trying to get some spatone & can't get it anywhere?! Is it the kind of thing you can only get online or in really random places or massive stores?!

OP posts:
Poohbearsmom · 16/04/2010 11:19

Well damn it! they have decided to only do the colonoscopy today & they need to send me to a specialist in a bigger hosp as the mri has shown my bowel is torn and connected to the fistula/wound etc so they would damage the bowel to go near the fistula and i would LOSE BOWEL CONTROL!!! am in shock at the seriousness of it... can not even contemplate being incontanent (sp?) omgoodness

Poohbearsmom · 16/04/2010 11:26

And im bloody hungry!
Bebe they hav spatone in all health foods stores here and alot of the bigger chemists, does Boots not do it?

bebejones · 16/04/2010 12:03

PBM - Poor you that is so horrid for you! When are they going to be able to send you the the bigger hospital?

Been to boots & 2 pharmacies...no spatone!

OP posts:
Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2010 12:20

aww PBM - ((HUG)) thats awful!!!! but least they reliesed before they did do op

and bless you for thinking about food/diet when you have this going on in your life

ps what is spatone?

bebejones · 16/04/2010 12:57

Blondes - Spatone is an iron supplement that you mix with juice. It's better than tablets as doesn't make you constipated!!

Chicken salad baguette sounds yummy! Been rushing around today. So much to do, don't know why I'm on here! Have managed to eat a banana & muller light for lunch! But home made burgers for tea & jelly with strawberries for afters!

OP posts:
GettinTrimmer · 16/04/2010 15:04

bebe I got spatone in Boots, how long would it take to order it in?

Don't know if you may be interested in this, but I got a tonic from Holland and Barret, got my iron level up (when i was pregnant).

blondes well done on sts and wishing your dh the very best of luck.

PBM Sorry to hear that . All the best to you. At least they know now what to deal with.

Must be a bready day, I've had a tuna melt panini today at the soft play area. ds got himself a bit upset so had to cut the visit a bit short, probably low blood sugar as he didn't eat his lunch.

Just off to do Davina again, don't feel like it!!

Poohbearsmom · 16/04/2010 16:05

Hi girls well they did my colonoscopy (enjoyed being outa it, not havin da camera where it was, but hey got abita sleep so that was nice) back in the ward, with a needle in one arm and hooked up to another machine the otherside still havnt broke the fast and am so dry! They took some biopsys (sp?) of my bowel, really bloody crap now i have to wait again then c the specialist in his clinic, then he'l hav a list as long as his arm for doing my op so more waitin & no end in sight for me jus more awful scary bloody medical crap am really scared now, its not an option to ignore it or treat it symptomaticly anymore cause its dangerous sorry girls for hijacking & boring ye senceless but yer so lovely for putting up with me xxx

GettinTrimmer · 16/04/2010 16:40

You are not boring us at all PBM

We are here whenever you'd like to talk. So Sad you're going through this

You're on the ward now, assume you're going home in a bit?

Have they put you on a waiting list to see the specialist?

GettinTrimmer · 16/04/2010 16:42

oh sorry pbm, just read you are seeing the specialist soon today.

Murtette · 16/04/2010 17:11

PBM - do keep us posted on what's going on. I had a colonoscopy a couple of years ago and I definitely didn't enjoy the experience.

I'm away for a week from tomorrow so decided to do a weigh in today and am 12st12! I'm thrilled that my weight finally starts with a 12 and that I've lost half a stone (well, 8lbs actually). Things have definitely got a bit easier since DD has dropped her 4am feed.

Blondeshavemorefun · 16/04/2010 18:02

well done murtette

pbmcouse you are not broing us,hope specialist can help

RatherBeOnThePiste · 16/04/2010 19:10

PBM- You poor old sausage ( obviously a low fat sausage). Hope you are home now. I am glad you are seeing the specialist and I am sure he will sort you out. I hope they yet on with it though, it must be a total pain ( I would say pain in the arse, but somehow it's inappropriate at the mo I hope you had the big fat subway.

Well done Murtette. This dieting lark is all about small steps isn't it? But when a small step has a significant result it's fab. So well done.

bebejones · 16/04/2010 19:47

PBM - Aww hugs! Hope the specialist has sorted things out for you & you get the op asap! You are not boring us, we are all here for you! x

Going to Chiquitos for dinner 2moro night with friends. No idea what to have, any ideas? Should I be dull & stick to a salad, or are there any other things that would be ok for me to have? Menu here Thought about Vegetable Fajita although the Tequila Red Snapper sounds good too! Anyone any ideas on cals?! Will have to be very good all day!!

DH has to go make sure the tenants leave our flat 2moro, it could get nasty. I'm glad I'm not going!!

OP posts:
JODIEwantsanewname · 16/04/2010 22:15

PMB Hope you are feeling abit better now, and managed a Subway! hugs x

Bebe I did try to have a look at the menu, but couldn't look for long, I got hungry! I did spot a nice Tiger Prawn dish on there though! I love mexican food. Hope your DH has good luck tomorrow

Piste How did you guess? I've a huge headache! But I know I can do it now, 2 days with no caffienne never thought I'd do it, but I am drinking so much water, I'll lose weight just by going up and downstairs to the toilet

Blondes hope it goes OK with DH tonight.
By the way my e-mail address is jodiew 2 1 @ aol . com and if anyone wants to add me as a friend on Facebook, then you can, just say who you are when you send the request x

murtette Well done you!

I've gone for 2 days with 1000 cals, loads of water, loads of fruit and veg. My MIL even made me no cal soup today as she had veg that was going to be thrown out and thought of me, bless her so thats lunch tomorrow sorted! I better bloody fit in that dress in 3 weeks!

Morning everyone

Blondes sorry to hear about your mum, get well soon wishes from me. Let us know how she is.

murtette I know the feeling when the scales say something relating to the next stone down! Well done you.

piste I like the way you've put that about dieting being in small steps! A 1lb a week is a great result, especially easy to put it on (even more so now I'm over 40 - gah!!)

PBM How are you??

bebe Have a great time at Chiquitos tonight, will look at that link in a bit. We are going to the Harvester pub close to us, I love them because of the salad bar.

jodie Really pleased for you with the weight loss!! Agree this thread makes a big difference.

My back feels a little strained today, so will take it easy with the exercise. Was thinking of going out for a gentle jog.

I have an exam on Tuesday, French, AS Level, I took it last year and got a grade D wasn't happy with that so doing it again. Only problem is, I've done no work.

I will talk in French for about 11 minutes about Styles De Vie, stuff about health. Also written exam and listening in May. Wish me luck, I will need it.

At least I will be able to communicate in French on holiday - off to South of France this year, another reason why I would like to be at my goat of 10 1/2 stone and looking slim!
