Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

[donna88]

That's what I'm sort of torn with, but if I do lose the weight then it will be free again... I just don't want to keep paying if I'm sticking to plan and not loosing because of the pill (or whatever reason I'm not losing)

If I do stop going to group I wouldn't stop completely, I'd end up just having a break and going back once my bodies settled down I think. Going to group does help keep me motivated as I know I have those scales to answer to, I also have friends there who I like to see (I've been going to that group for almost 2 years now) and I help the consultant out with WI's as well. I think if I don't lose this week or if I have a small loss I'm going to have a word with my consultant and see what she thinks about it and if it could be the pill and how long she thinks it will take me to settle down with it.

It's going to be hard once I really get into my marathon training anyway as I will be having more treats and more running gels ect. but I'd like to think after running that many miles I don't have to worry about synning the gels and a few extra bits.

wow Laura did you design that yourself?

It is a beautiful tatt laura :-D

Somethings not quite right if you're still feeling sick Vicky, so glad you went to the docs to get some tests. Did you chat with her about the fertility issues? What drug did she give you for the sickness?

Deb, I found when I first started with SW, after about a week or so my appetite dropped a lot, but soon came back after a few weeks. So just go with it as your body will soon settle a normal pattern of eating.

Hope WI goes OK for you tonight Donna

Loving the tat Laura

Just had a great day today which I wasn't expecting. My friend picked me up, so had 2 hours gossiping before we got there & then had one of the best study days I've been to in a long time! It was a Child Protection course, so quite an emotive subject, but the trainer was fab & well worth it.

 

[lilprincessvic]

Ive got omeprazole kim. She said its to settle the acids or something. I didnt talk with her as im moving doctors to be at the same one as my oh but really needed to see someone today and they wouldnt see me at the new surgery until I had had a health check thing so havent moved yet.

She also said it could be a water infection. I have noticed that my wee is luminious yellow. Didnt think to tell her tho lol x

 

[lilprincessvic]

Hope wi goes ok donna x

Thats a good drug for acid reflux/ulcers etc, so lets hope it settles your poor tummy. How bizzare that you say about your wee being bright yellow, coz mine is as well!!! Its ok when Im hydrated, but otherwise its luminous as well lol! Do you have back pain/kidney pain, weeing a lot but not passing much then? Did she sip your wee & take a sample? Nosey aren't I? Its the nurse in me lol! x

Well I feel half as sick as I did this morning lol. I drink loads and its still bright yellow. I noticed this yesterday :-(

 

[debtin]

did 1.3 miles with one stop..more importantly i ran my longest. 8.35 minutes lol
feels like i could have went longer but i knew by running the full perimeter of the park i had did much better....this seems to be the barrier i can't get past. if i know in my head i have run further for longer its as if its ok to then stop. then i can't get back into it. managed a further 5 minutes which is good for me lol

You'll get used to not wanting to feel stuffed after a while Deb, just go with it. To be honest, I enjoy the 'empty' feeling I feel when Im well into the SW mode. Dont get me wrong its not as if Im hungry, just like the empty, clean feeling!

Are you watching the Australian Biggest Loser?

I agree, it's a clean feeling rather than hungry. I find now I am much better at leaving food when I'm full or finishing when I need to. It has taken me years to get to this point lol!

 

[debtin]

Morning ladies, just a very quick update (sorry can't really reply to anyone as very quickly writing this before getting little one to school)

WI was rubbish, I gained another 1lb, I'm not almost 9 and a half stone I haven't been this heavy since getting to target and it just seems so unfair as I have been sticking to plan! I shouted when I first saw it.... then I sat and cried.... literally in front of everyone and I did again when it came round to my turn to talk. I wasn't even upset by that point but I just couldn't stop and the more I thought about not being upset and not knowing why I was crying the worse I got. Someone suggested evening primrose oil for my boobs and I remembered I used to take it for PMT, so decided it was probably a good idea.

Had a lovely time last night with my friends, didn't sleep last night though and woke up feeling rubbish, I just feel so miserable, I can't even pinpoint why I feel miserable, I just do. So I took an evening primrose as had some in the cupboard and hoping they kick in within the next few days as I can't go on like this.

Doesn't help that the idiot I live with left the freezer open last night.... so when I went to make little one's packed lunch I noticed it had all defrosted, bloody brilliant. That almost set me off crying again and my boobs chuffing kill me, I don't mind them being bigger and fuller but I'm just fed up of it all now! How long should it take the pill to settle down for me? I was on this one for acne when I was younger and I don't think it effected me like this.... but saying that I was a moody teenager then anyway

Donna that's horrible with weigh in. It must be hormonal, evening primrose oil should help, might take a week or 2 but stick with it. I have none of the pmt, bloating or periods with the coil. The pill also messed with my head!! I was not an easy person to live with. If it doesn't settle down I'd look at trying some other form of contraception. There has to be something to suit you. Women have to go through so much......

 

[Nikki<3]

Donna you just hit the nail on the nail on the head for me! I gained 2lb last wek and wondered how or why when id been good then i had super painful boobs yesterday too...i started back on the pill 10 days ago!

However, i cant offer any advice hun because i started the pill 9 years ago and cant remember what happened to my body back then.

Dont get disheartened though, it wont last and hopefully you will see a loss next week. Did you have a chat with your consultant about it? Xx

 

[kim63]

It certainly sounds as though it is the Pill that is causing this unexpected weight gain Donna & the crying etc is more than likely all the disappointment of it all. How long have you been on this particular Pill for? Would it be worth going back to your GP & having a chat about changing it to another one, or changing your contraception. Have you researched any Pills that dont make you gain weight?

Do you want me to still put the gain on the challenge? x

 

[donna88]

Thanks everyone,

It has to be the pill, my mood is just stupid. I feel so down and know I have no reason to feel like it but just can't shift this feeling. I'm going to stick with the evening primrose and see how I am over the next couple of weeks.

I wouldn't want to have the implant or the coil as having something inside me freaks me out to be honest, but if this doesn't settle down then I will have to look at maybe using a different pill as I really can't go on like this.

I'm really not worried about the gain Kim, the annoying thing is I'm still paying for being out of target when I should be well back in it, but I know looking at myself that I'm not gaining fat, it has to be something hiding it like water retention or my boobs being so bloody full. I don't think I've ever felt this slim before to be fair... if I don't loose weight next week I might have to look at changing my target, but I don't really want to do that either as I honestly can't see how my weight will stay this high with how my body is.

Someone at group did suggest the Jasmine pill or whatever its called, it will be worth speaking to my doctor about changing I think, but best case would be if I could just settle down on this one as otherwise I just have to wait for my body to adjust to another one.

I spoke to my mum and she said I did get really funny on the pill last time I was on it, moody wise, obviously I can't remember how it effected my body but at least I know the moods are def down to this. I took evening primrose back then as well though so hopefully that will help.



Anyway, there's a 5 mile race on tonight, can't decide whether to do that instead of running at club tomorrow... its only £3 but we are trying to save money at the moment as well, I just don't know what to do :/



Oh and as for the challenge I suppose you might as well, I know I've done it and I can't pretend I haven't :/ if I don't settle down soon I might have to pull out of the challenge or at least focus more on the exercise side of it rather then the losing weight side, challenges don't seem to work for me, I always have something like this go on to stop me.
