Thanks for that sweetie, I had forgotten about that song, but as soon as it started to play I knew which one you were talking about and it's so apt, perfect for how I feel....

IF YOU REACH FOR THE STARS, ALL YOU GET ARE THE STARS...
BUT IF YOU REACH FOR THE HEAVENS YOU GET THE STARS THROWN IN...I love that xxxxxx

Hi Katie, aww thank you sweetie, I am in shock still that anyone would find me an inspiration, but am glad that I do inspire people xx
Horrible to say and causes many :yuk: thoughts but I had a massive peel of my skin last night (a bit like a snake shedding is how I would describe it, it comes off in sheets), which is a good thing as the new skin is forming and I know that means a few weeks of reprieve for me until the next outbreak, it is still a little sore, but I believe by tomorrow I will possibly be getting back to my normal exercise routine and that will definitely help my weight.
I have to be positive hun if I give in to this every time it happens, I'll end up going nowhere except back to the 31st 7lb I started at and possibly even more and I am NOT going to let that happen ever again .
Hope you're having a lovely day sweetie, speak soon xxxxx

It's taken me ages to catch up. You lot can't half talk!!!

I think the big family holiday will be brilliant. We do that sometimes for a long weekend and always have a laugh :D

I am so looking forward to it, will have it paid for in full by xmas and all the spending money put away too, I really can't wait xx

I'm glad things have sorted themselves out with Kirsty and Mark.

I am happy for them too, it was such a shock to see the huge and very sudden 360 degree turn on her part, but they have been away for the weekend, talked and sorted more things out and went out Monday night too and have generally planned not to just let things roll from now on and in turn it has had a good effect on me and Mal too, made us realise we need to do a bit more too.

I hope you're cold is better soon and you're foot is back to 100%.


Once it comes out fully for me, it's a lot easier to deal with, I hate all the headaches and feeling like sh*te before it breaks out, I am supposed to be having my flu jab this week, funny cos I got a heavy cold last year the same week my flu jab was booked, do you think my body is trying to tell me something lol

Don't be too upset about the gain. It might sound like a big number but you usually have big losses so it will go quickly. It's like me saying I've gained 2lb. It might not seem like a lot but it would take me at least 3 weeks to lose that. All the meds you've had to take lately won't have helped and the cake craving probably came from the increased steroids. I can't fill my son up whenever he has to take steroids for his asthma. Once you're back to 100% health and the meds are at their normal level I bet a lot of that weight will drop off without you having to try.

Anyway we can help each other next week cos I'm sure I'll have a mega gain with everything I've eaten this week :)

I am a little gutted, I'm not going to lie, about the gain, as it means I have to work even harder now to get back to where I was roughly 4 weeks ago, but hey ho, I'll get there and as I said at the beginning of this journey I knew I was in for the long haul, and if it takes 10 years to get it off, that's still a lot quicker than it has taken to put it on.
I am behind you every step of the way sweetie, we can :whoopass: each other lol xxxxxxxx
 
Heyos Lily, sorry to hear you've got the germs too :bighug:Frustrating isn't it :sigh:

I'm keeping off the scales this week - it's impressive seeing that you went to WI and took the gain on the chin but I don't think I'm mentally prepared to deal with it yet, definitely not after this week :eek:

Glad your foot is on the mend and that the family situation is looking rosy now :)
 
Hi Lily, I love reading your diary, you brighten up my day which I have missed the last few days, you have achieved so much and truly inspirational, hope you feel better soon, sorry to hear that you have gained, I'm sure it's to do with the steroids. I love how your so positive, going to send you a big:bighug: xxx
 
Hi everyone, well what a day, I am going to my sister's for the weekend, we are going to have a
"air your grievances night" lol....me and my 2 daughters and my niece and sister are going to get some things that should have been said a long time ago, off our chests. You know how it is, you keep putting up with stuff for an easy life, well since my kids were tiny once a month we have had a sit down at the kitchen table and no comebacks say how you feel conversation and it clears any bad feelings. Well we have decided to have a girlie one and then in a few weeks we'll have an all out one for everyone.
My hands and feet did a huge peel on Tuesday night it was sore all day yesterday and I felt absolutely exhausted from the cold and everything so really spent 90% of the day in bed, which means today I have had to spend the day catching up, they are very dry (my hands and feet) still, but a lot better, even managed an hour of exercises and another 45 minutes of weights today.
I did take the 6lb gain on the chin but really didn't have any choice, I know me and if I get down about this I won't get back up so while I have been a little gutted I haven't let it get to me....I know I shouldn't scale hop and it was cos of something Tilly said that I felt maybe I had lost some weight today, and I really won't count my chickens but my scales are showing 3.5lb down today.
Now I guess you're wondering what Tilly said aren't you :giggle:
Tilly pointed out that when her son's asthma is bad and he has to up his steroids he eats non stop, while I did say that in a post a few days prior to weigh in I don't think I really registered how much more I was eating until Tuesday night, when I got back from weigh in I ate everything in site, didn't go over my syns as far as I can remember but I ate from the time I got in until I fell asleep.
I also remember when Kelly lived at home (she has asthma and epilepsy and used steroids for both), I remember her going through bouts of not being able to get enough to eat and that was when her steroids were increased.
Now Wednesday I started to cut down on the steroids and I have noticed that my appetite is diminishing with the steroids, so I am hoping for a really good loss to get me back on track on Tuesday, I won't hope for the 6lb to go, but I can hope for 3lb at least, I would be really happy with that.

Like I said before thank you all so much for your support it really really helps to keep me going, will try to get on here before I go tomorrow, but if not I will catch you all Sunday, have a fabulous weekend all, luv you all :hug99: xxxxxxxxxx
 
Heya Lily, hope your cold has cleared off and that the weekend with the girls went well :)

Hi everyone, had a very good and very productive weekend thanks, we really did get round to clearing the air on a huge scale...loads of tears and loads of laughter as well as some surprising stuff too, we were up all Friday night talking finally got to bed at 6.45am, and was up again by just after 9.30am and just continued from there...Kirsty had to rush off as little Missy Moo had an accident (her cat) and has torn all her underbelly, they don't think it was caused by another animal, they think she has caught it on some barbed wire or something of the kind, so she had an op Saturday afternoon and had to have a drain fitted , which was removed tonight, but the vet says it's going to take a while still before she is fully fit and able to go out again, bless her she is desperate to get out again she looks so lost and so helpless and is constantly pacing trying to find somewhere to get comfy....I only ended up coming back today and my sister and I reckon there are a few more things that need to be got out in the open, but I am glad we all went.
My cold is a lot better thanks got a bit of a cough, was fairly good over the weekend had a couple of naughty things but I still think I was well within my syns ....got buffet night tomorrow night and still not sure what I am making yet, but I'm pretty sure I'll come up with something in the morning.
Hope you've all had a good weekend am off now to catch up on your diaries xxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Hi Jane,
Kia and Jack's outfits were perfect for them, Kelly gets a new one for them every year, she buys it just as Halloween finishes, that way she gets them really cheap and makes sure they are bigger than they would need for the current year...I'm sure I don't know where she gets her bargain hunting head from :giggle:
Was a very productive weekend, glad we all went and we all said we'd like to do it again, and this time include the guys too.
I first got a cat when Kelly was 6, hadn't had one ever before that we'd always had dogs up till then, but then we got 2 cats and they were lovely and then one got kidnapped, the other one got pregnant and we kept one of her sons, and had them until 3 years ago when they both died of liver cancer within 4 months of each other, was so sad...then we got Missy 18 months ago and I have to say she is by far the most affectionate cat I have ever seen in my life, she just loves cuddles and kisses....it's so sad to see her like this right now, she's really lively, but can't go out and can't get comfy with the neck collar on either and she has to wear it indefinitely.
Thanks hun, I think it's going to be a good loss this week too :fingerscrossed:
Just going to pop along to your dairy, see what you've been up to while I've been away lol xxxxxxxx

That sounds like fun, I bet you'd look fantastic and I can't wait to see your pics of you in your outfit ..I would love to go with my lot next year, although I doubt I'd be able to do all the walking they do lol
They left here at 5.30pm and never got back till just before 9pm, we are smack bang in the middle of 2 very posh areas, they do each area alternately, they start off doing the local area and then move out to the big houses, they always say the same thing too....the people in the big houses are a lot more generous...well I assume they can afford to be lol...but they love it and as I said they got tons of stuff, there's definitely enough there to last them a good couple of months at least and the money (they ended up with £6.70 each) they have put in their money pots for their holiday next year....they got back from their hols just about a month ago (6th October) and they emptied their pot before they went, they now have another £65+ (with tonight's money) towards next years holiday spending money...they get £10 a week between them from me and their granddad that goes in their holiday pot (we put another £5 each in their savings account every week), then they hand us a list of jobs they are willing to do and they give us a price list too lol....drying the dishes is 50p, hoovering all over is £1 and feeding the dog and cat is another 50p each and making tea and coffee is 20p, they are canny little so and so's but you have to admire their initiative lol xxxxxxxxxxx

It was fun, never seen so many kids enjoying themselves and having fun for a change all the houses giving them treats and money, got back son in law had made a nice casserole with some warm crusty cobs which was really lovely, defiantly doing it again next year.

Your grandchildren have a good head for making money, wonder who they get that off :giggle:. xx
 
Morning all, not got a lot of time today, have to make food for the buffet night tonight and unlike me I have only just decided what to take with me, had to do one for Kirsty too as she didn't have time last night and is working till 6.30pm tonight. So have decided to go don the easy route and make syn free rice pudding with golden syrup and natural yoghurt on Kirsty's behalf and for me it's the Spicy sausage spaghetti, really easy to make.
Hope everyone's having a great day, will pop back later if I get a chance, if not see you all tonight xxx


Oh and Jane they don't get their money making ideas from me lol no they get that from their Auntie Kirsty, I remember her doing exactly the same things at her age lol xxxxx
