Step 1 Sole Source Day 1 again, 6st off but 6st on !

[angelupnorth]

Evening all,


Had a mixed few days . . . .






Eventually managed to drop bellow the dreaded 13.12 and hit a fabulous 13.9.


That was Friday morning then things went wrong, my oldest daughter had a 20 week scan and we found out there are a few issues with the baby :-(
We know for sure she has Talipes ( club foot ) but we see a specialist tomorrow as there are a few things they aren't happy with, so may Friday was flipping awful, I knew I was away yesterday and used both as a excuse to eat and bring myself out of ketosis knowing I would be drinking while in Edinburgh.

Edinburgh itself was fab as always, lots of drink and more food than I had originally planned . . . . .
I won't go into what I had BUT I will be back on plan tomorrow and back to 13.12 to doubt if not more :-(


What's done is done and I'm not stressing or anything about it as Friday has shown me you just never know what life will throw at you next ( that's not to say I'm giving up . . . Far from it )





Me and hubby ( loving the change to my face shape )





View from our room across the roof tops to The Scotsman and we could see Arthur's seat in the distance . .


Hope everyone had a better weekend than me, will catch up soon x x x

Awh Kat that must've been difficult news for you all especially your daughter. You've done amazingly well though not to turn to food in the way you may have done in the past -it's amaing how at stressful times we turn to eating for solace yet it brings none. I hope appointment with specialist gives you a fuller picture on baby's health and what to expect. Sometimes it better to know the full picture.

Well ill done on the Minsk approach to keep going with this despite the stress. Great new on the numbers on the scale! That's so close to the half stone mark!

Hey angel

Sorry to hear about your daughter and the troubles with the baby.

But well done getting the scales to budge! Even if u have done some damage at least you know your body will get there eventually.

Stay strong xx

Thanks ladies,

I'm avoiding the scales for a few days.

Up & trying to get some if my water intake.,
We see the specialist at noon but no matter what I'm not going to turn to blooming food. I have two weeks until my next night out and only 11 weeks to my holiday so I must knuckle down.

Will catch up properly later but here's to a good week for us all

 

[FlicG]

Sending hugs your way Angel - hope today goes ok.

Well done on getting back on plan and sticking with it. You have such amazing willpower.

xx

Hey there adding to the postitive vibes being sent to you and your daughter, really hope you get a postitive meeting with the specialist today. Keep the control over the food it's one area that you can and when you have the worry for the wee one it can only help,something you can change some you can t

best of luck and I'm sending virtual luck and love your way

Evening all, thank you for the kind words . . . .


We arrived for the appointment today and thought the scan was just about her feet BUT consultant took us into a side room and they think there could be a few more issues so after a good talk with consultant my Daughter is having a amneo on Monday at noon, we should get the basic results within 48 hours and then further results around 2 weeks later.

As you can imagine my poor daughter and her partner are in a bit of a state, I'm better than I was earlier but I can't let it get in my head as it could turn out to be " just " her feet, I don't say that lightly but compared to other thins discussed today her feet are the least of our possible issues so I'm trying to remain as calm as possible until we get the results.


I've been on plan today although I do feel quite fragile and know that could potentially change at any time but 11 weeks until my holiday anything I eat will need to come off so I'm trying to be good.

Not sure if I said but weight in this morning was back upto 14.4 after a heavy weekend . . . . Lots of drink and lots of food.

Not going to waffle to much as that's not what this place is for but I shall be back in the morning hopefully in a brighter mood and with a better weigh in lol just wanted to drop by and say thank you for the messages etc

Will catch up with you all tomorrow, thanks again x x x x

 

[FlicG]

Morning lovely,

It sounds like quite a stressful situation and like you said - there's no point in getting too anxious before you get the results.

Well done for sticking with the plan - it would be the last of my concerns if I was in your position so well done wonderful one.

I'm away now for a couple of days, so probably won't be posting as much, but sending hugs to you.

xx

 

[angelupnorth]

Thanks Flick, enjoy your few days away
well done on the loss, so very very close to your upper goal x



Weighed in this morning at





14.1 so minus 3 from yesterday but still way above my Friday weigh in . . . . Of 13.9 but I will get back there by the end of the week all being well.

Almost 2 litre of water / coffee down and I'm feeling a good day ahead ( Cambridge wise )
I'm on a longer shift today, my longest since June and its just what I need to keep my mind busy, will be leaving home around 12.30 and should be home by 9.30 / 10pm ago no snacking when I shouldn't.

I need to get my head back in the game and stop messing about . . . .
I have as you know got my holiday in April and want to be feeling good by then if worst comes to worst I should still be 2 stone lighter by then. I didn't want to be 3 lighter but its only 11 weeks now and I keep falling off the wagon so anywhere between 2 and 3 stone will be good enough for me.

With regards to my daughter I've managed to change my days at work next week so will be there for the test with her on Monday and then will have her here all day Wed waiting for the call with the results as her partner is at work on the Wed.
I need to try not to think about the worst options but again thank you for all your kind words.

Off to catch up with you all and hope you've all been doing better than I have but here's to a GOOD day x

 

[GretaGrip]

You're doing great Angel! Keep going! Sorry to read of your recent troubles and fingers crossed all will be well

I'm still here of course! Still at target - Err well, within half a stone of it anyway! - and just plodding away.

 

[Viita]

I'm so sorry to hear of the issues but I am sending lots of positive energy your way my love..

Stay strong..

xoxo

To stay on track with the worry you must be going through is amazing. You are putting me to shame and teaching me a lesson. I lost control just moving house. You have much more serious concerns and you are staying so strong.

Sending positive thoughts to you and your family.

[angelupnorth]

Thanks again everyone . . . .
Life is like a soap opera at times so I'm used to drama but not quite as awful or stressful as this.



Somehow I have managed a 100% SS day today and 4 litre of water,
A green dot in my diary ( unlike the past few days which have been naughty Red dots )
I guess being at work has helped keep my mind busy.
I'm working the same shift tomorrow so fingers crossed for another 100% day as I can't afford to mess around with only 11 weeks until my holiday.

As I've been 100% I'm praying for another small loss in the morning anything off my weekend gain is a bonus.
I have my official weigh in next sat ( 31st ) and need to drop a good few lb's by then. My last official weigh in was 13.12. . . .

So fingers crossed I can get maybe down to 13.7 by the 31st . . . .
Like I say no more room for slacking.

Hope everyone has had a good day

 

[Kira]

Kat you've done brilliantly getting a 100% day under your belt given the stress you are facing. Stay strong, I know you can. Xx

 

[angelupnorth]

Thanks Kira, Weighed in this morning at 13.13 any drop is a victory, I was 14.4 Monday.



Hopefully by the weekend I will have another drop. Full steam ahead, no time for slacking. Like most people I wake up and look at the day ahead with a positive mindset. Chillin in the slow cooker for hubby later, mini house blitz complete, 2nd load of washing in and now time for coffee & catch up. My friend ( Fiona ) is super close to her 2 stone loss which is fab considering she started Dec and we had a trip away and days off plan she is doing fab and I think that as well as you guys is helping me keep on track although I'm ultimately still here because it's what I want. No matter what happens with my daughter & the baby I will still want to lose weight so me going off the rails is only going to upset me even more. I'm trying my hardest to remember that & stay on track . . . I'm waffling as per usual lol, Off to catch up with you all, as always here's to another fab day x x x

 

[angelupnorth]

Evening all,

Another 100% SS day today Thank goodness.

Around 4 litre of water and no issues at all . . . . I have 10 days until my next planned day off so fingers crossed I can make it through them all 100% SS.
I'm off work the next two days but on granny duties so may not get time to post as much ( granny duties are for my youngest / 9 month old grandson ) he's here from 0830 tomorrow until 5.30 Friday as my youngest daughter has extra training to do as she has just gone back to work after her maternity leave. I'm super excited as she had lived here with the baby until a few weeks ago . . . . . . . Another of our family dramas, thankfully I'm now used to her and the baby not being here although obviously I would rather they were. Anyway all being well if the weather is ok I Shall have him out & about in his pram for a litre exercise.


The weekend is almost upon us again, the weeks are flying by :-(

Hope everyone has had a good day ? Will Catch up when I have a spare half hour x

 

[angelupnorth]

Just a quick one )




Need 2 more off ( 13.9 ) my lowest last week before my naughty weekend. My little dude will be here soon but I just had to share, Coffee going down a treat & a good day ahead. Hope everyone is ok x

 

[angelupnorth]

Evening all,

My little dude is fast asleep so just another quick one.

100% SS day again today and a short walk with him in his buggy ( around a hours walk )







As you can see and as I've said on here a few red dots for unplanned days but still happy with the green ones, long may they continue.

4.5 litre of water and planning another good day tomorrow

Hope everyone has had a fab day !

 

[angelupnorth]

Morning all,





13.9 this morning which is what I was last week. Very happy to be back here BUT just shows I've wasted a full week by having a few very naughty days. . . . .
It's so not worth it.
2 stone 2 lb from my upper goal of 11.7 and I know I can do that by my holiday in just over 10 weeks although I would have been almost there had I not have messed around so much in Dec.

I don't regret it as I'm still very happy and I know I will get to goal regardless of how long it takes.

My little dude is here until around 5.30 so shall catch up once his mummy collects him.

Here's to a fab day x
