Lmao like it but I wud rather be a climbing frame myself

My friend is like a size 12 and worries about her weight. Think her husband was just trying to make her feel better in a male kind of way! Lol
But he meant well. Still made me laugh.

Hi all
Welcome to all the newbies and congrats to all on their weight losses
So many posts to catch up on.
Im on day 20 today and looking forward to my weigh in tomorrow night I think!
Been as good as gold on the diet even though like all of you I've had some trying moments when cooking for the family.
Meant to say before but I'm 55 -sounds so old (feel about 14 most of the time on the inside - the outside is still in need of a good overhaul!
I've been married for 36 years and have two boys aged 30 and 33 both fitness fanatics my eldest. Has just bought and opened a cross fit gym in Feb this year and youngest attends the gym every night
I've been busy getting ready to go on hol for 6 days on Friday to Portland near Weymouth just hubby and I so looking forward to it My brother who lives in Gibraltar is coming here to look after my mum so we can have a break.
Everyone on Team Ideal is doing so well keep up the good work
working towards the ideal world where you are your ideal weight wearing your ideal clothes -----it's just going to be IDEAL!!!

Hello.... I'm 51 feeling like a 14 year old.... On day 56..... Still going strong... Hoping to have 21 day left of ss before moving up to step two....

My mind is on maintaining maintaining.... I just can't go back.... I'm slowly Learning about low carb diets & low fat....

I must stay on this for life..... No going back......

Hi everyone. Had a busy day today, only just sat down. Felt a bit dizzy again earlier so had some more chicken, not much but it definitely stopped me feeling like that. Was wondering if it was down to doing a lot of walking today?

I've got a bit of a weird/tmi question coming up so stop reading if you're squeamish lol... Just had an appointment come through for a colonoscopy next Tuesday. I've got to have some really strong laxatives the night before to "clean me out". Do you think I'll be ok doing cd and having that? Apparently it can knock the stuffing out of you when you're taking the laxatives and after you've had the procedure. I'm not really comfortable speaking to my CDC about it (it's a lot easier to hide behind a computer monitor where my blushes can't be seen!) do I have to tell her?

Sorry if I've put anyone off their shakes xxx

Hello lovely to hear a success story from further down the road than the rest of us. Well done

 

[liripip]

Thanks Hun...I'd done so well today as well, and then bang I ruin it with a few bloody spuds...arghhh...never again...xx

You've not ruined anything, don't beat yourself up too much. Everyone has blips and as others have righty said 3 spuds isn't that bad. At least you didn't carry on and think "bugger it" get back on that horse girl xxx

Hi not sure about colonoscopy but I had a thingie (the name of it's left me now) where u have a tube up ya bum And ya bowels are emptied...colonic irrigation that's it. I had that on a VLCD once and was fine, just drink plenty of water after. However it's not the same thing so I'd really seek advice from gp

Yeah probably a good idea really, just don't want to have to stop doing cd and don't want to put "that" off either x

I think I would check with doc. If not you could maybe ring nhs direct? We want to loose weight, but you can't play around with your health when something important comes up. I don't see why it should matter, but it's my opinion, not factual. As you been a bit dizzy make sure you eat that day afterwards. X

Yeah think I probably will ring someone tomorrow and ask. Never thought of nhs direct, would probably be easier than trying to speak to my doc! Thanks ladies, having a moment I think. Can't bloody think straight sometimes! xx

Def speak to your gp and inform your counsellor you can always text her if you can't bring yourself to chat it may be you'll need something extra as all your vitamins etc from the packs will be flushed out your system .im sure she would help she's trained to give advice .i would start with the doctor first xxxxx

Hi and welcome I can't stress the importance of maintenance I lost all my weight on LL 2 years ago and as my counsellor didn't have any evening maintenance classes was left to manage myself.i managed for 16 months fine then got complacent and let it slip and here we go again and I can honestly say this time is much harder than the first so good luck and check your weight every week it was the minute I stopped weighing myself things started going wrong
