I love 'Finish Strong!' and 'Unless you're puke, faint or die...keep going'.
If I had someone shouting that at me, I'd think 'You *******, I'll show you!'.

Hey Sally, cheeky question, but do you know what your measurements are and what size you are? I'm having mild wedding dress panic attacks!!!

Well that's interesting, just got the tape measure out I am:
Chest 44"
Waist 34"
Chest 44"
I'd say I'm a 16 on bottom and 18 on top but I'm not sure cos my jeans are a US 10 (DKNY) but my UK 16's are too big (Jasper Conran). but as I'm basically living in leggings and jogging bottoms while I'm housebound it's hard to say.
Probably just added to your confusion really haven't I? Sorry x

i wouldn't if you don't need it. i find that hormones make it harder to loose weight.
my measurements are...
waist 29"
hips 37"
bust 39"
an hour glass figure gone wrong now. i'm top heavy.
not bad measurements. i'm a 12/14 probably why i'm wanting to give it a rest for a few months before going down the plans to 810 again and loosing the last few pounds. can't think of doing it now. been BAD tonight. really bad.

I'm fine, I took my full dose of codeine earlier because my leg was killing me and I ended up falling asleep on the sofa for a few hours. I think I over did it yesterday, trying to walk properly. That'll teach me. Hopefully next week I should get my physio appointment and I'll be given proper exercises to do to help.
Dietwise all okay, I feel a bit hungry at the moment but I'm holding off having my second shake until later on, I'm struggling in the evenings for some reason. Last night I ended up cooking a chicken breast. It's not going to upset the diet but I've run out of chicken, so now it's just me and the shakes.

you're doing really well. it is hard to stick to when you are hungry but it will be worth it when you feel fabulous and in ketosis firmly and securely. you'll be buzzing and we'll look ace in our 'bob' things. can't wait. just checked mine and they're yet to be printed lol. i ordered hoodie fri and t last night.

Im not having a good time with work at the moment. I'm getting a lot of pressure because my on call needs covering, my line manager wants me to swap it so it's coveted but it means when (if) I go back it'll be straight back to 2 weeks of on call to make up for missing it while I'm off. I'm not sure it's legal to do that but I'm not up on employment rules and regulations
That's partly why I tried to walk properly yesterday when I shouldn't have done. I've been stressing about it so much, but my friend came round and talked me out of stressing and convinced me it's their problem to sort out not mine.
Anyway dietwise I'm still going fine, not sure if I've lost anything yet, but I did my measurements yesterday so I will have an idea at the end of the month if anythings changed.

A US 10 is approximately a UK 12/14
Hi Surfhunny aka Sal --
If you are wearing a US 10 comfortably, then you should be able to wear a UK 12/14. I would say with your measurements a 14 in jeans... (you have a tiny waist in comparison to your bust and hips) and U.S. designer clothing seems to be a little more "generous" on the sizing.
My wedding dress was a US size 4... but it really was more of a 6/8. But, it was a designer dress. (I was born bigger than a US 4.)

you shouldn't get any interference at all from work. they should not even be contacting you as that alone is illegal until the end of your sick note. they shouldn't be causing you excess stress and they certainly shouldn't be pushing you to get back to work due to this issue they have. you might do yourself even more damage and then you won't be back for a lot longer. what will they do then???? they have to cope and they have to organise the cover. you shouldn't be asked to do it when you return either. contact CAB and find out your rights.

Cheers Nikki, that's pretty much what I thought, I'm leaving it for now to see if they push any further, it's middle management that are the problem, my line manager is actually the same grade as me but he's a massive bully, I won't tolerate him but others are scared of him. I just recently found out he spies on us on FB. His life is THAT empty!! If I get any texts from him I'll be keeping them for if I need to take action.
The problem at work could be easily solved if he'd just man up and go to management and tell them about the crisis instead of trying to brush it under the carpet and hoping it goes away.
Sorry about my little work rant, it feels better to get it out of my system.
Looks like another long boring day ahead, I'm waiting for them to come and change my electricity meter, this will be the third time they're meant to have come to do it, it's the last time I'm waiting in for them (not that I have much choice this time lol)!

Hi Sal --
If they book and don't show, I think you can claim compensation through OFCOM.
Also, do you have a union? If not, you could contact citizens advice bureau and asked them about the "law", etc. Good plan on saving the texts.
I hope you are feeling better, soon.

@Nikki -- It'll be okay. Take your medicine (we have all had to do this) and then work hard for a loss next week. You have been through a lot of late, and you are doing well just going to weigh and moving on. If you know why -- then you can deal with it abnd accept it.
On the upside... we are +3 min and 3 sec of daylight today!

i did put on. wasn't too bad. 2.5lbs on. talked to my cdc and it's just my headspace i need to sort. she said i've had a lot to deal with and it's not that bad. i've coped really well with it all and it could have been worse. my mini meltdown. she's wondering if i'm still in xmas mood with xmas being all over the place and you know, i think she's right. we have yet to have xmas at my parents house. with my mum being in hospital we brought over gifts and they're un-opened as my mum and dad want an xmas re-run when my mum comes home. so xmas all over again. so maybe i'm still waiting for the big xmas that we normally have. the dinner, gifts etc.
hopefully this can happen next week sometime and then i can let go and move on.
we've set a date for me moving up plans. 3 weeks time. i said that i'd given myself a week. not to loose the weight but to get my head back to where it needs to be. if i can stick it out a week or in other words 168 hours, then i'll stay on the 810 plan for another couple of weeks to get to target then move up.
p.s i feel like i'm giving up if i don't get to target. daft as i've blasted any previous target. it's just i need to get there. i can't give up. i need to follow through and finish.
