Welcome back Katierose, lovely to see you posting again.
Thank you Rhi and Rose, it is lovely to hear from you. I am a bit better today, had a good sleep, despite DH waking me up because i was breathing so shallowly he thought I had died!
I am going to do a little more today and see how I cope. Haven't been out the house for a week so just a trip out in the car would be quite exciting.
Hope everyone has a good day.

Can't wait to get back to the pool OTW, it feels like ages.
Tried the scales on the new floor and i weigh about 5lbs more!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I don't know how to play it, increase my start weight by the difference so the loss stays the same or what? can't bear to feel like i've gone backwards. I haven't, so how do I sort it? Help please!

I've sorted it - I've done what i think is right. The scales on the new floor would have weighed me at 5lbs heavier at the beginning, so have adjusted the 'start' by the 4-5lbs and actually that means I have lost 1 lb this week as re-checked and am down 1! hurrah. I think that's it settled. Will weigh in on Tuesday to get week 12's result. I hope this makes sense, I struggle with this sort of thing at times. I think it's logical. I'm sure someone will let me know if I've lost the plot entirely!

Thanks OTW - I just knew I had to do something or i would feel like i had put on 4-5lbs when I definitely hadn't. Even got DH to compare his weight and his differences were the same as mine.
How lovely you get to alter your's downwards though, that's even more fun.
I think i'm on my way back, today is the first day I have even thought about the weight thing and I think I am almost ready to crack on with it again. The exercise may have to wait for a bit but i can still do my best.

Yes,you are right Barb, i would have adjusted the start weight too...i can't handle mind games too well ...darn those scales
Sounding happier and 'in better health' Barb, so go for it, with your new attitude.....ease back into exercising slowly...very slowly!

A good day yesterday, back to recording in my diary properly. I stopped for just over a week as i was not thinking 'weight loss' and couldn't really cope with anything much. So yesterday i thought, right, get back to it properly and I am glad I did.
My taste buds are still a bit weird though; i cut up carrot and cucumber to have with houmous for lunch and it just tasted horrible. So that went in the bin. Last night I did lamb and that wasn't nice either. It must be me because everyone else enjoyed it. I think the inhalers must have just altered my taste for now, I'm sure it will be ok in a day or two.
Looking forward to Tuesday's weigh-in - hoping for one off this week, that would be lovely. Also occurred to me that 5 more lbs would be 2 stone and so that would be a good aim for August. Fingers crossed!

glad to hear you are feeling better, hope your taste buds return to normal soon!...must be the inhalers and medications Barb.

Hi Rose
Mum is doing a bit better at the moment. I went a whole week without seeing her which was really hard. DD1 went in everyday and so did my sister, so I got lots of 'reports'. Mum saw the heart specialist on Thursday and we now await the next tests, however he said that there was certainly no question of any surgical intervention as she is just not strong enough for that. I saw her yesterday and thought she seemed a bit brighter, she just has to take it very easy as she is out of breath in no time. We make a right pair at the moment!

Glad the news is a bit better with your mum Barb, makes sense not to put her through the stress and upset of surgery. Hope she is comfortable and happy though, i bet seeing each other recently, made both of you feel better instantly

Thanks Rose and Rhi, I'll let you know how she is getting on.
Busy day yesterday, 13 for lunch as my niece was visiting with her family. I wasn't really up to it but did it anyway and it was a lovely day. Feel a bit cream crackered today though! Ended up having a chinese late as was too tired to cook, so that didn't help matters so need to be super good today with tomorrows weigh in in mind.

Well, the result is exactly what i was hoping for. So pleased. Quite fascinated to realise I am 10% smaller too! That is a very exciting thought, that literally, I can squeeze into spaces that I couldn't have before!!
Still feel unwell but better than i did so will be able to focus much better this week I hope. Even a lb a week is good enough though, because they all add up. Still aiming for two stone for the end of August. Onwards and downwards.

Well done Barb. That is fantastic managing to loose weight whilst you were so poorly. What an achievement I bet that has cheered you up. I'm sure you'll manage the 2stone mark by the end of the month. I have every faith in you hun.
Glad to hear you're also feeling better and was able to go and see your mum. Good news that she's doing ok at the moment. Let's hope that she continues to remain comfortable. xxxx
