a few extra syns one day wont hurt too much, like you said you can always have a couple less for a few days to even it out so good luck for getting to your stone

also good news if you are able to start to do some gentle excercise, even if its just a small walk for now its always good to be moving about when your trying to lose weight, it makes me feel crap if im not able to do something as i feel like it affects all the effort im making with the eating habits, i walk around asda for 1 and half hours about 5 times a week without even realising how long ive been there sometimes lol, although it obviously hasnt stopped you losing weight at all so thats good as it would have been a shame if it had especially when you know there is nothing you can do about it

 

[StarGir1]

Can you believe it I have had better losses since I stopped exercising lol

But I have also felt really restless as I just want to do something so can not wait to get back, if given the all clear I think I will just use the pool at my gym as I think swimming will be better at is supports your joints and the doc has said now I've inflamed where I did it'll go again in the future So I need and want to get this weight off asap so there is less pressure on my pelvis ready for that.

I can't wait to get my stone award. Now my IBS has settled and my body has got used to the extra fruit/veg etc I finally feel like I can do this. I am still struggling with my mindset and always still worry if I don't know where the nearest toilet is but things are getting good for me so all I can do it hope.

Love what you are going to do with your flowers and button hole as it's a real good way of remembering those important people who can't be there on the day xx

 

[CH2b]

Sounds like everything is gunna be great for you and with the weight gone im sure it will be alot better for you, i know when all my weight has gone my spine would thank me if it could lol

Yeah my auntie died young at 29 and my grandad died about 2 years after both of cancer and we used to be such a close family and always spent holidays together having parties and stuff and it will mean alot to me to put my flowers on their grave and know that they will last alot longer than fresh flowers and my OH visits his nans grave every year, its part of their tradition anyway but he loved his gran and he really lets go and has a good cry when hes there even after 6 years so i think after we are married we will go there together on the anniversary of her death and maybe take the other buttonholes from his best men (his 2 brothers) aswell as i think that will mean alot to him too

 

[StarGir1]

I really hope so And you can do it I am certain.

29 is so young, that's scary really as I turn 28 at the end of this year so really that's only just over one year older than me and that must have been so awful for your family. I have one gran parent left but the other three all died of cancer and my Nan who is left has had cancer about three time but has managed to recover each time, I have also had a couple of aunts (my mums sisters) who have also had cancer so I have a real serious family history of it so I know how awful it is as it's a cruel illness.

I just think it's a lovely idea and I am sure they would have appriciated it It's such a thoughtful thing for you both to do xx

 

[CH2b]

Yea 29 is far too young and she had 3 daughters all under 9 years old it was so hard for them but my other auntie treated them like adults and told them everything and she really shouldnt have as the oldest one at 9 was too young let alone the 8 year old and 5 year old and the oldest one has been nothing but trouble since and she is now in care which is a shame but she was always spoilt even before my auntie died and just got worse over the years as my other auntie who had care of them just gave them whatever they wanted probably to compensate for the fact they didnt have their mother anymore.

My family has a strong history of cancer too its kind of scary, i have two nans left one is ok shes a hypacondriac mind lol although she has had 7 strokes so got to be careful, my other nan has developed severe dementia and alzheimers since my grandad died so she needs alot of care atm she had 2 heart attacks earlier this year too my mum also had cervical cancer when she was pregnant with me and was told to abort me to save herself basically or we both might not have made it but luckily for me she refused and 23 years later both very much alive, stupid doctors lol

 

[StarGir1]

Yeah it's tough isn't it.

I think you Aunt was in a difficult place as how do you explain it to someone so young but I guess she did what she thought was right at the time but sometimes it's best to shield children, as they say ignorance is bliss, so they could of gone on a need to know basis as it's such a shame how it's turned out for your cousin.

What a great choice your Mum made Especially when you're both doing fine now and you having your wedding next year and if/when you have your own family your Mum will no doubt love to take on the role of Nan x

 

[CH2b]

My sister has 4 children already and my brother has 2 but we dont get to see his 2 as the one is being adopted unfortunately and the other has a b**** of a mother lol I think shes more looking forward to my children and wedding as we are closer and my older sister and brother have done allsorts over the years to try and split her and my dad up (they dont live together due to working in different places) spreading crap and i dont know why anyone would do that to their own parents :/

My mums always there for me and has offered me £2000 towards my wedding plus buying my dress so i cant fault her and i know she doesnt do it because of favouring me but because i help her back if she needs it and we support each other in times of financial need, the others are quite selfish and forget about us pair when we are not around as we live 80 odd miles away and only see them every fortnight. I guess the fact that she risked her life for me has given me alot of appreciation for her aswell and shes like a best friend

 

[StarGir1]

You really do have a big family, it's great to hear your Mum will be able to help you towards your wedding

I don't get why they would try to split them up either as surely most people want their parents to stay together!!

Well everyone it's Saturday!!!!!!

 

[Claree__x]

Happy Saturday all. Think I'm destined for a STS this week as my scales just aren't budging!

CH I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt and your OHs gran, I left my bouquet on my granny's grave and it was the first time in 10 years I've had the courage to go to the grave. I know that might sound selfish to some but it's so hard.

 

[CH2b]

It doesnt sound selfish hun some people just cant deal with that, graveyards creep me out luckily my auntie and grandads is right on the front row so dont have to walk much into it, however my other aunties is in the middle of others and I just stand on the path cos I cant bare to walk over other people graves :/

Ive been good and havent weighed yet although my OH did and he gained 1lb lol so hoping to get at least a sts while my body recovers from last weeks disaster lol then hope for a loss next week

I didnt get to lidl for that sausage info yesterday so will be going today

 

[Claree__x]

I'm struggling for food inspiration today. My husband likes to think of Saturday as a 'day off' while I try to sway him towards SW friendly treats!

Thinking either an omelette or scrambled egg with tomato & mushroom or pasta with tomato and cheese. Urgh decisions!

 

[sammyb1985]

Just measured myself and in ten weeks i've lost 2 inches from my bust, 6 inches from my waist and 4 inches from my hips! I've lost a foot of myself in total, how amazing is that?! xx

That's awesome Sammy, well done!!

 

[sammyb1985]

Thanks hunny! I had to double check my waist as 3 inches had come off since I last measured 2 weeks ago and I thought i'd got it wrong! lol! Still a way to go, but feeling great! xx

 

[jo-85]

Jo - Don't worry about the gain, it takes a while to get your head round a new plan and the main thing is you are trying and you will be back on track before you know it and you'll lose that 3lbs and much more x

I now have a week to myself so I am pushing the boat out tonight to celebrate and I am going to have steak and SW style chips

Thanks chick, had a good first day on track yeaterdday and today has started the same hope u enjoyed ya dinner x

Claree he was born in uk and lived here all his life which is why its even more annoying that we have to go through this process but as his parents are from vietnam and he was born after 83 he has to apply to be a citizen

Star his mum was sure she had already had him registered when she got her citizenship but we have no clue if he definately is or where the certificate would be if he is so first we have applied for a duplicate certificate which is costing £88 in the hopes that she was right we dont have a clue how long it will take, if they say he doesnt have one then it will cost us £630 to apply for him to be a citizen and then that could take 14 weeks then upto 3 months after to get his certificate thats why im panicking lol

That does seem really unfair particularly as has been said the fact he was born here and lived here all his life. I have everything crossed it gets sorted for u soon x

Im putting my bouquet on my grandad and aunties grave when im done with it and will probably put OHs buttonhole on his nans grave

Thats a lovely things to do im sure they will all be looking down at u smiling x

Hi ladies! One year today I will be walking down the aisle to become a Mrs! :bliss:

It was our anniversary yesterday so we went out for a meal at the hotel we're having our wedding reception at, and I went completely off plan for the first time in 10 weeks and it was totally worth it!

I had:

Chicken and Bacon Cesar Salad
Steak, chips, onion rings, mushrooms and tomato
Chocolate fudge brownie with icecream and chocolate sauce
Cheese and crackers with caviar
2 1/2 glassesof red wine, one brandy and diet coke, one sex on the beach and two baileys!

Soooooo yummy! Just got to be good again now and hope for a STS or small loss as definitely don't want a gain! 3 1/2 days should be enough time to claw some of it back xx

How exciting sammy Not long to go now at all glad u had a lovely anniversary x

Yeah my auntie died young at 29 and my grandad died about 2 years after both of cancer and we used to be such a close family and always spent holidays together having parties and stuff and it will mean alot to me to put my flowers on their grave and know that they will last alot longer than fresh flowers and my OH visits his nans grave every year, its part of their tradition anyway but he loved his gran and he really lets go and has a good cry when hes there even after 6 years so i think after we are married we will go there together on the anniversary of her death and maybe take the other buttonholes from his best men (his 2 brothers) aswell as i think that will mean alot to him too

Sounds like both u, your family and your oh have been through a lot x

My sister has 4 children already and my brother has 2 but we dont get to see his 2 as the one is being adopted unfortunately and the other has a b**** of a mother lol I think shes more looking forward to my children and wedding as we are closer and my older sister and brother have done allsorts over the years to try and split her and my dad up (they dont live together due to working in different places) spreading crap and i dont know why anyone would do that to their own parents :/

How lovely that your so close to your mum and I agree she made a good decision my mum is also my best friend dunno what I'd do without her x

Happy Saturday all. Think I'm destined for a STS this week as my scales just aren't budging!

CH I'm so sorry to hear about your aunt and your OHs gran, I left my bouquet on my granny's grave and it was the first time in 10 years I've had the courage to go to the grave. I know that might sound selfish to some but it's so hard.

It might just suddenly shift hun that has happened to me before.

It doesn't sound selfish I find it hard to go to my grandparents graves too and very rarely do but I know they know im always thinking about them x

Just measured myself and in ten weeks i've lost 2 inches from my bust, 6 inches from my waist and 4 inches from my hips! I've lost a foot of myself in total, how amazing is that?! xx

Woo hoo wtg sammy x

Happy Saturday ladies. Was back on plan for me yesterday and was pleased with myself last night after even having a mega row with my parents (it really wasn't pretty and me and my dad still aren't talking!) I didn't reach for the chocolate which I'd have done usually! So far so good today and already I'm feeling less bloated and sluggish without so much rubbish eaten this week. Just on my way to the footy so hoping to burn some calories celebrating some goals! x
