And so begins the dreaded * week...I really don't feel like I've lost anything. All I have now is bloating and mad sweet cravings. Well, in any case the scales will tell me tomorrow.

Couldn't make it to class today...extreme cramps kicking my butt. Hardly ate anything. Green tea and bed with a hot water bottle. :wave_cry:

Still in a lot of pain, so I really don't know how I'll fare food wise today. It usually goes - munchies, then extreme pain for a while, then munchies again. I'll endeavour to be good...

And yes, the workmen are STILL here! The paint smell is making me feel nauseous. I've opened the windows, so now I'm cold. Cold and crampy. :wave_cry:

I will be going to class this week, had a sneak-peek on my mums scales on Sunday (bad, I know. I'm a wreck...) and to my surprise, they showed a loss...I'm not going to hold much stock in that though, until I see what the SW scales say on Wednesday night. I will be leaving extra early to avoid the EMS (Evil Manual Scales).

My Doctor has left my local GPS, which is a shame. He was the first Doc to approach me like a human being in a LONG while. And he really pushed for my last appointment determining the status (or lack thereof) of a possible leg surgery.

I wish I could lose 59½lbs in the next 10 weeks **wishful thinking** :sigh:

 

[-Tally-]

Good luck with your weigh in on Wednesday and hope you're feeling better soon. x

 

[Kenco]

Good luck for wi.That's a shame with your dr leaving,I know exactly what you mean.:hug99: xx

 

[Christiana]

Weighed in tonight, and I know it's partly because I was unwell, but OVERALL (over two weeks I suppose) I seem to have lost 13 pounds....weeeeeee!

I'm pretty chuffed about it, BUT now I'm terrified for next week...I really don't want to gain again, so I will try and be extra good!

 

[Kenco]

Yay well done I am so pleased for you.x

 

[10st10lbs]

WOW! That's an amazing loss Christiana, I hope you're bouncing off the walls with giddiness! xxx
