Hi i`m back again lol

Aww great news that you have found your stronger painkillers, its not nice being in pain.
Hope the next dose eases it more. xx
 
Hiya Roch

Really glad you are coping a bit better with the new pain killers ~ I have acute pain for most of the time and I know just how the constant pain can make you feel ~ the worst thing for me is I dont feell like "sharon" anymore.

Keep up with the diet as I am now (75lb loss) just feeling the benefit from loosing the weight and my pain levels are decreasing so hang on in there and it will be worth it in the end

luv luv
 
roch hope your feeling better hun xxx
 
Glad the pain has eased a bit hun. Really feel for you at the moment, I know how debilitating pain can be. Don't forget to drink some milk with those strong pain killers, helps to protect your stomach lining.

Sending big hugs and kisses to you x x x


Morning hun thanks hun for the support i do sometimes feel like a fraud when it comes to my sciatica as there are people with serious illnesses who dont whinge like me but it was so bad that aaron had to get me out of bed and walk me to the bathroom wait for me and bring me back and that caused tears in my eyes each step i took.
Today i feel better hopefully by the end of the weekend it might be gone.
I am not in ketosis no more which has upset me but i have no choice at the moment.
Thanks hun and take care xx
 
Roch hon, you always have a choice... it's up to you to get into ketosis and stay there., sorry if that offends or upsets, it isn't meant to and I know that you know that, you know I say it how it is, and that's how it is.

You CAN do this my darlin, you really can. Forget the blip.. done and dusted now.. you know what you can and can't eat and what you do and don't need and how to do this the right way for your body. I ain't saying it's easy - it isn't, especially with your current health problems, but it IS do-able. I know you have it in you to do this sweetheart. When in pain, life always seems a million times harder and in reality is probably is too! BUT... if you can get through it a minute at a time then do it that way hon.

I so want good things for you and good health and greater mobility and a painless existence for you (and for your darling boy).

Stay strong (you have overcome MUCH bigger hurdles in your life). If you need to talk, call me. I won't bully or nag, just listen and love.

You know my heart is in this for you hon.

Take care - here's hoping for a better day and a positive outlook xx

Oh, and as for being a fraud - get THAT thought out of your head RIGHT NOW young lady!!! Tsk tsk!!! As if!! Your pains and health issues are YOURS and VERY real!! No shame in being honest about them - OK!!!!!

Just because someone else has different probs doesn't lessen yours.. remember that! Do NOT feel gulity! - BAD emotion!! VERY debilitating AND destructive! Yukky thing! ;) xxxx
 
Hiya Roch

Glad you found some effective pain killers. You will notice the difference to your spine in weeks, not months hon. The rate you can lose your weight it will be falling off you in stones! :D I'd be very surprised if you don't lose at least 4 stone in just 6-8 weeks (you already lost almost 2!). It's bound to make a fantastic difference to your back and all your other joints. By the time you have lost 6 stone you will be amazed at the difference and so it will continue with each half stone. It's all going to be good stuff Roch, hang on in there and you'll see and more importantly, FEEL, the benefits.

Hugs & love

Jennie xx

Wow miss sexy skinny minny u look amazing girl !!
I would luv 2 lose 4 stone in 6 /8 weeks but i dont know how viable that is 4 me, i know i have done well but i think i will only lose 3/4 lbs each week from now.
Hopefully the pain will ease up soon as this bout.
Jen thanks hun so much for all ur support take care and hope u have a good weekend xxx

Thanks hun nothing u ever say offends me hun not the slightest.
The reason i come out of ketosis is that i was having chronic acid reflux becuase the extra strong meds i am taking just for the next few days and i have been vommiting over the past few days and i could not manage any protein at all i hardly been eating which is so weird lol
Yesterday i had a couple cereals and a slice of plain bread and the acid reflux was not 2 bad.

I am a bit worried about the fact that i am feeling weak dont know if it is due to the fact i have not been eating much but i know being in ketosis works for me on a low carb diet i might try and see if i up my carbs to maybe 40 from 20grm per day if i stay in ketosis which i should do and then i can incorporate other food as i am finding it hard to eat protein at the moment.

Jen u r an amazing woman and i am so pleased i have u as my friend.
Take care hun and have a good day xxx
 
roch i agree with all what the others have said
i am so sorry you are in pain but you will get through this
keep at the cd and eventually you`ll see big results

and like fff said dont ever feel a fraud, sciatica is unbearable at times and not only does it effect you phsically but mentally it drags you down aswell


hugs my friend keep posting and stay posoitve

was lovely to chat with you earlier on the mobby :) have a good day and will chat again soon :D xx

It's not surprising you are feeling weak - take good care of yourself. You need more than you are currently inputting, just to maintain let alone lose! :)
 
Well not had a very good week sciatica been playing up big time and have been feeling pretty low emotionally the last 2 days.
Had to come out of ketosis as i have been on very strong meds and i was having chronic acid reflux and actually vommitting bile from the side effects of the tablets and when i had a glass of milk e/4 times a day it helped.
I have been following a low carb diet but as i have been in ketosis the prob is i have hardly been eating some days i would only have like a small pack of pastrami(cold meat) all day and i am feeling very week, so on thursday i started introducing more carbs into my diet.
Anyway got weighed today and i was shocked to find out i have lost 7lbs this week making it to 28lbs in 2 weeks, i am so shocked as i have had Totm and also constipated for most of this week but obviously i am doing something right weight wise.

As i am feeling very weak and also having hot sweats no i am not haveing early menapause its only been the past 4 days since i have been ill so i am not jumping over the moon about my weight loss infact the opposite i could carely manage to walk round tescos without having to stop every 5/10 mins and having a break and having a drink and i feel thirsty all the time.
If i still feel like this by mid next week will go to the doc and get checked out.
Anyway off to have a yoghurt so i can take my meds.Hope u are all having a good weekend take care xxx

Take care and thank u hun for always popping by and supporting me xxxx

Cherly hun u r such a sweetie and u always post such lovely things on my thread.
I myself have not been around very much either but i always smile after reading one of your posts.
Hope u r ok take care hun and chat soon xxx


Well just popped by quickly to update my thread i have worked out that i have lost 12% of my excess weight so only 88% left 2 go :sigh:
My Bmi has gone from 66.4 to 61.1 so i am pleased about that.
Am still feeling weak did not manange to get my sugars checked but i dont have the hot sweats and being extra thirsty today so am sure its nothing to do with my sugars.

Am a bit worried about my diet as the last 2 weeks been following a low carb diet and been in ketosis and been having around 20 grms of carbs but hardly any cals i know it has worked well well for me hence losing the 2 stone but when i am in ketosis i am not hungry at all (i know thats normal) and thats good if i am ssing but when i am meant to eat its not good for me as i sm hardly eating anything one day all i had was a pack of pastrami all day and had to force yself to eat that.

When i had to take the exta strong meds last week for the sciatica i came off low carbing as i was having chronic acid reflux and had to have milky drinks and goined 3 lbs over night but i was pleasantly suprsissed when i got weighed on sat to see i still had a good loss of 7lbs.
I think i might have to not low carb as this could be the reason why i am feeling so weak.
I bought a lot of fruit yesterday and some fat free activia yoghurts and cottage cheese and for the next week or so i will experiment by following the ww plan with low glycemic choices and see how my losses are.
If i only lose 3 lb in the week i wont be a happy bunny as i am expecting 4/5 lbs per week and over the month that is a big difference in weight so i will just wait and see next sat at the results, feel confused to which diet would be the best for me to follow for my health needs.

Anyway sciatica seems to be playing up quite a bit today think it has something to do with the fact that my hormnones are messing up big time i had Totm ffor 2 days then it went and now 3 days later its back :mad::mad:

Off to lie down as it eases the pain hopefully by the end of the year the weight loss will make a differnce to my back pain.
Take care and catchnup most prob tomorrow, have a nice bank holiday xxx
 
Well done Roch. What a great 2 weeks you have had. You know you can do it
Irene xx


Thanks hun i feel i can do it as well but its early days and i have a long journey ahead of me but i am going to take it day by day and hurdle by hurdle.
How is things with u hun, how is Ava. Take care and chat soon xxx
 
Well i thing Sciatica is finally easing up now as Totm is practically finished thank god !!
Not sure why i was feeling so weird but am feeling ok now and have changed my pain killers back to my nomal Co codamol instead of the Tramacel so thats good.

Have decided now am off the strong meds to get back into the pink so am back on low carbing today so by weds will be back in ketosis the problem i had is that i was not eating enough believe it or not so going to have to work on that.

After half term i am going 2 start back on the IT course so that will be for 4 hrs a day and i will finish my ECDL level 2 and i have done level one already.

Went through my wardrobe yesterday and found 15 items of clothing all brand new never been worn half of them with tags on them and i wont ever wear them so i am going to put them on Ebay not sure if to out them on as a bundle or indivually as have never sold on ebay b4.

Around 12 years ago i had a clothes shop selling plus size trendy clothes and i first started off with one indoor market stall and built it up to 6 stalls then got my shop and did really well but when i seperated from Aarons dad and Aaron got sick i could not keep the shop as i was not able to be at the shop at all had to either be at home with Aaron or at the hospital with him constantly so decided to sell my stock and maybe re start again another time but i have never done it as of yet.

I was thinking some time ago to maybe start selling plus size clothes on ebay as there used to be a few shops online but for some reason they seem to have all dissapeared from Ebay so in a couple of months or so am going to buy some stock and give it a go just on a small scale and see how sucsessful it is.

Anyway off 2 do some housework Aaron just got up and because Ebony did not cry she needed the loo he made himself breaky and her breaky and then she ate and ran into the lounge and did a wee on her bed so thats now in the machine but at the end of the day its Aarons fault as i have told him many times to not wait till she cries to take her for a wee as that is when she has accidents she is still only young 7 months old and has been house traned since 16 weeks old so soemthimes she jsut forgets to cry to tell us she has to wee.

Got loads to do as had to depend on Aaron to do the bare necessities the past few days so now i am feeling better i need to catch up big time !!

Hope u have a good day and the weather is not bad where u are as its terrible here in London xxx
