Karenlou's diary - Hello, I'm home!

Welcome home my dear. xxx
 
Sorry about the money Karen but pleased to see the positive you re dieting. Best not to focus on chocolate as your main intake every day do you think?????? Try a crisp or a roll get some variety!!!

Just stopping by to say hello - have a great weekend x
 
Hi there all. I'm resurrecting my diary and popping my head back through the door. Somewhat shamefacedly I must say as I have put a LOT of weight on.

You might remember that I was put on some tablets that can cause massive weight gain. Well they bloomin well did! I went back to the specialist on Wednesday, in tears. I have gained half a stone a month since I've been on them and I'm constantly exhausted.

Well, he's changed my tablets and I'm actually awake for the first time in months but I need to eat fairly constantly otherwise I feel nauseous. I was doing Up Day Down Day but I can't do it on these tablets so I'm coming home to WW!

Got my points diary at the ready and ready to go. I've ordered loads of yummy low point food from Tesco and it's coming tomorrow.

Looking forward to getting to know all the people who've joined since I left and saying hi again to my old friends.

Keith and I have a gig on 22 May which, if I have done my sums correctly, is 4 weeks from today. It's a 70s night so I have bought a really lairy kaftan and a long red, hippie style wig :D

I'd like to get a good half stone off by then.
 
Welcome back! I remember you from reading through the forum before i joined and from various seraches on here.
Good luck with your weight loss again, im sure you will do fab as you did before!
There is a nice new bunch of us here to support you as well as a few older members who pop in now and again!

Best of luck xxx
 
You are more than welcome sweetie!!! :)
The more support we all have the better, i dont know where i would be without the lovely people ive met on here
 
Welcome back Karen :) It's me Jess, I've changed my name and my diary title. Damn tablets, that is really hard luck but glad you've changed now. Onwards and downwards! x

Oh Karen I'm so happy to see you back, good luck with the WW restart - you and me both hun xxx
 
Aww thanks guys. It's lovely to be back and to have all your supportive comments. I'm looking forward to starting my WW journey again. I've even made a sugar free jelly for tomorrow :)
 
Thanks Auntie M x

Today has gone well. I had 6 points' worth of chocolate but all the rest has been spent on healthy food so I'm pleased with myself.

We spent the day wrestling with a self-assembly sofa; it's the only kind that we could get on the boat! I've also chosen the new kitchen (sorry - galley) for the boat, which our friend Fred is going to fit for us as he fitted out his own boat. I'm looking forward to having a decent cooking area on the boat and it will make good use of the space too. The money we will save by Fred fitting it means we can see about getting the windows replaced as it's a bit horrible when you wake up with a wet leg (because of the rain I hasten to add!).

Back at work tomorrow - I've stocked up on loads of healthy food for packed lunches. Also should be easier for me to stick to points as I'll be busy at work rather than sitting at home wandering through the fridge!

All I need to do now is get a decent night's sleep. The doc took me off the meds I was on because they were too sedating and put me on something different; now I can't sleep at all. Aaargh! Oh well, I guess I just need to get back into a routine of sleeping without knockout drops!
 
Thanks guys. Lunch out today which was nice. I did have half a portion of chips but steered clear of a pud and had a black coffee instead *polishes halo*
