Morning hun dalmation pups are beautiful Aaron chose Ebony she is a little cow bag but so loving she always wants cuddles and will sit next to us and go to sleep most of the time.
It will be good for u exercise wise and pups need so much walking.
Maybe u could look for a puppy from a shelter instead that way u might not get a dalmation but u will get a pup and also be able to get a car.

So hun how r u doing whats the latest concernng ur house.
Off to check out your thread to catch up take care girl and hope u hae a good day xxx

hi Roch,
glad to hear you sounding a bit more upbeat.
it's good to see you setting yourself life goals as well as diet one's. If you could get back to having your own shop/stall, that would be a major kick in the a*se to everyone who has ever verbally abuse you.
can i ask, is you sciatica linked with TOTM ? (as in being worst for that week) could you maybe, whilst following WW, do low carb for the 3 good weeks, but on the bad week, when you need to up the painkillers, up the carbs a bit to offset the acid reflux etc & just accept that for that week the loss will be less ?
wishing you luv n luck hun
xx

Hiya

Great to see how you're doing and all these goals - especially love the clothes one too... as for the 21.6 one... you'll be there very soon and boy will you be chuffed about it

Glad to see the sciatica has improved somewhat too.. I know it won't totally go when your weight does.. but at least it may be a lot more manageable.

You're doing great guns and I can't wait for the next weigh in results.. am sure they will still be a minimum of 3-4lbs

Have a lovely safe and warm Bank Holiday xxxx

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.

Hi Roch,

It's great to hear you sounding so upbeat, Fab idea to get your clothes business up and running again. Do you know you sound like a whole new person, you are just oozing vah, vah, voom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hugs

Thanks so much for ur posts sorry could not respond to u sooner but still i am practically bed bound as i did not have the injection in my spine for the sciatica decided to just grin and bear it and ride it out but unfortunately its still very bad.
When i looked at my feet and hands today they r seriously swollen have major water retention probs i managed to weight myself and i was horrified to see i have gained 17lbs in 8 days i know i have hardly been drinking water as i could not manage to get to the bathroom so i was barely drinking 3/4 glasses of fluid each day. I did not manage to get to Ww on sat as there is no way i could of got down the stairs even with Aarons help i was horrified to see i have gained so much weight and am scared that this is going to throw me off track !!
i have a weeks worth of packs and i was wondering if i should ss to just get this water off b4 sat !!
I do have water tabs from the doc and have started taking them as off this moring but its going to be hard as its so painfull to get to the loo and to top it off i have a bad cold so really feel like crap !!

I have my next weigh in on sat and i dont care if i am the same as my last weigh in but i cant be heavier i have 5 days and i dont know what the best diet to follow to lose as much water retention as i can along with taking my water tabs i feel so low now and am worried i will just be tempted to give up.

Pls someone i need some serious advice and a kick up the arse so i dont resort back to eating stupid will log on later but have to go and lie back down again.

I feel like all i ever do is whinge and i worry that i have a name her on MM for whingeing although alot of u offer me so much support i still do feel that alot do think that as well and sometimes i feel i should only write the good and positive things on my thread and not when i am strugling lkike today.
Anyway off to lie back down as the water tabs are working i need the loo every 30 mins and thats hard when u r suffering from sciatica.
Thanks so much 2 all of u for continuing to support me although i have bouts of time when i am not online xxx

 

[kazbro]

hey roch
why should you ever only write posotive things on here
you write what ya like
its your diary and if that`s how ya feeling then that`s what ya write
sciatica is a nasty painful condition which can knock you off your feet so easily

if you cant let ya emotions out here then where can you
at least while your in ya diary your not in the fridge

you keep posting and as much as its hurting you keep ya chin up
that 17bls is mainly due to water retention by the sounds of it

keep positive and keep posting

the best part of this weight gain is water, you know that by just looking at your feet & hands.
i have a weeks worth of packs and i was wondering if i should ss to just get this water off b4 sat !!
If you can manage the packs with water it may well help you by Saturday.
I do have water tabs from the doc and have started taking them as off this moring but its going to be hard as its so painfull to get to the loo and to top it off i have a bad cold so really feel like crap !!
I know getting about at the moment is hard work, but if you can manage the water tabs & as much water as you can tollerate this will work wonders.

Sweetheart, the whole idea of this site is that we support each other, if you post all good stuff how are we to know you need help & in turn give it? If your not getting our support you will just feel worse, so whinge away hun, i for one certainly don't think bad of you for asking for help.
Anyway off to lie back down as the water tabs are working i need the loo every 30 mins and thats hard when u r suffering from sciatica.

Above all look afternumber 1 !, do what is right for you, if you can't manage much water & you know that's what has caused the weight gain, be assured that when you feel better the water will evaporate as quick as it went on.
Love as allways

[sonkie]

You have every right to moan you are in a great deal of pain and it makes you feel like sh1te....anyway its your diary so moan away hun .....thats what its here for.
Have you called the dr out to try to sort something out for you?????
There must be something else they can try.l

 

[FatFairNForty(ish)]

I think Pandora and the others have said it all hon. Take care of yourself, drink lots, grit your teeth and get through the pain of getting to the bathroom or, as undignified as it sounds, ask Aaron to get a bucket foryou to use as a bedpan.. seriously.. drinking and taking the tablets and going to the loo is what you need to do right now and whatever it takes to do it is what you need to be doing. xxxx you'll always get support on here

Kaz,Pandora,Sonya and Jen thank u for ur posts yesterday i was feeling like crap and on the verge of being very stupid food wise but i talked myself out of a megga binge as i was feeling sorry for myself !!

Well 5lbs has come off in excess water retention since yesterday so only 12 more to go hopefully it will all come of b4 sat morning as its my weigh in. As i missed last week because i was so rough i will be happy if i have stayed the same fingers crossed this water will come off with my water tabs in the next 4 days then i will be contented as i lost 2 stone in the first 2 weeks so i am def happy with that result !!

Had a really good nights sleep pain free which shocked me big time and this morning my sciatica seems to have eased up big time hopefully this is the end of it fingers crossed !!

Got to go out this morning no matter what have an app with Aaron as he got a place in a new school and will be starting on Monday so today we have to see the head of year 10 and get the uniform.
His uniform is costing me around 150 pounds its a joke how much it costs but he is 5.10 and a size 11 foot and he needs new uniform every term as he grows out of his clothes so fast he has never ending legs and arms lol

I feel positive and happy and i am getting my head round the idea that the healthy eating plan i am on is for life now and there is no short term fix and i am going to be contented at losing 3/4 lbs per week which i def should do at my size(but watch this space as i wont be this size for very long )

Am off to catch a shower and sort myself out and catch up on a little housework but Aaron has been helping me alot the past 10 days since i have been not able to stand up.
I am also gong to book an app with an osteopath i cant take another bout of sciatica again this is 2 much for me to cope with so fingers crossed some manipulation will make a big difference and continual weight loss as well.

Hope u all have a good day the sun is shining and i feel good take care xxxx

 

[pandora]

morning hun,
so good to hear you sounding more upbeat today.
The loss of water will certainly help all round.
Don't you just love the rip off that is called "school uniform", if you need special stuff, ie with school logo's etc, they really have you over a barrel don't they, lucky you only have 1 child, i have 2
here's to a good day
xx

 

[flirty40greeneyes]

Glad you are feeling better Roch and doing so well.

I know what you mean about uniforms costing a fortune ... my son was the same - constantly growing out of them before they'd had any wear. Luckily he finishes now and is going to a college - so no more uniforms!

Take care and hope you get an appointment with the osteopath.

 

[sonkie]

Wow your son is a tall lad.....are you tall too.??
I am lucky my eldest has to have the school stuff, my youngest doesnt have to have the school jumpers with the logo on so cheap ones are ok....lol.
