Ooo I sayI hate trousers Im always glad to get them off
Yep, I was glad to change into PJs when I got home, A bit snug on the belly. And I didn't realise they where a size 12. My bottom half has been a comfortable size 14 for a while. My weight is definitely moving, I don't mean downwards I mean shifting itself to a different part of the body. The last time I fit in these jeans I was at least 5 kg lighter so I have either stretched them hugely, which they don't look, or am carrying the weight somewhere else. Bodies, strange things.

Morning all, official weigh in has me 300g down. Still 200g from hitting my 10kg target 
. But it's a loss and I'm moving downwards. Food wise I have been doing good, a constant 2 meals a day, one snack style and one cooked. But I did have biscuits and wine yesterday too so happy with any loss. They will probably only show on the scale tomorrow. Friday today and hopefully not too bad at work as I am completely on my own. I have cancelled lunchtime swimming and hope to work through and leave at 5pm. But won't be too relaxed tonight as working tomorrow. I've got permission to do an extra day to catch up with everything and start afresh when new team member is back with us. There will be no phones ringing and no people pulling out of me for other stuff, just clear the two months back log of admin and statistics. I'm glad to get it done and it will be time in lieu to use as an extra days annual leave.Then Sunday I will be busy as will be filling out an application to apply for a promotion

Update . I've just been to the bathroom 
and the reweighed and now am actually 500g down this week so have hit my 500g target for this week and have officially lost 10kg this year. It's only the 10kg I put on last year but it's now gone. Now I can work on losing what I gained the year before, and then work on the gain from the past 23 years. Oh yeh, I'm on a roll

I do as well unless they are baggy ones. I like to feel comfortable especially when eating.
I went out for a meal once and I had elastic band trousers on but my friends didn't. They were undoing their trousers by the end of night.
Well done @tipperary for hitting your target.

Catching up. I love that dress. Love the shirt in your jeans photo too. You are looking great. I am a bit shocked yr BMI is still in the 30s, actually, because you are lookng trimmer than that. As you say - bodies are strange things .....
So shall just say, brlliant and well done at keepng on keepng on!

Thanks, the shirt is an old one from Desigual that gets changed every now and then. It had cuffs which were too long for me so altered it. It also had an elastic around the pink band which hit me at my fattest part so wasnt flattering so i took that out. The shirt is back in my wearable wardrobe cos my arms fit it in now.
Yep, from the front face on (well without the fat face and chins showing) i look slimmer. But if i turn sideways you can see the big bits clearer, belly, boobs n bum. I wear "hide the belly" clothes

Morning and my ticker has updated and I am now swimming closer to that sandy shore. If only that was reality too, I would love to get to a beach 
. When will normality be back and we can travel freely again. Finished late at work yesterday so dinner became pizza and wine and I fell asleep watching a film. I'm in work again today to see if I can catch up with all the backlog, one more week of hard slog and I will then have a team mate back and some sense of normality I hope.

Morning all, been all over the place this week with food and exercise. Bad choices have been made. Was ok Monday at work and went swimming but then had bread for dinner. Yesterday i was working from home had toast for 2 meals and chips a third. I shouldnt have started the day with scrambled eggs on toast at 7am. No exercise at all. I have swimming booked for after work today as am running around with little kids this morning so need to work through lunch. And im off tomorrow so hoping to swim in the morning then heading to the city to meet a friend for lunch and buy a new bra.

Thanks @AliGal and @Shrinkingvioletnomore for the support
The day went South and I had a mini meltdown at work today. Not actually work related but family. I've actually written the full story and deleted it. Simply put we were told on Friday that 5 year old Oscar has Autism. Even writing this I'm crying. I've worked with adults with Autism and my mind has already jumped 20 years ahead to the challenges he will face. Anyway, again not wanting to give the long version it became obvious at work today and emotionally I cracked and ended up in tears . I was with 2 colleagues who cried with me for about an hour inside a locked room until one went and got coffee and chocolate, neither of which I had but glad of the support. I'm off work tomorrow but that's cos baby Zoe has emergency dental surgery with a very expensive specialist in Dublin (again another long story but she is in extreme pain and a two year public wait list and is a baby who hasn't eaten in 4 days due to pain ) so I am minding the two boys. Honestly, by 22 years of age I had 3 children under the age of 3 and it was so much easier than being a grandparent. Husband is dealing with the Zoe emergency, I am dealing with the Oscar one and we hope 3 year old Theo doesn't need anything but cuddles for a week or two because emotionally and financially we are at the end. Daughter one is at breaking point and in front of her we are strong but barely hanging on. Just a reminder, these all live with me so full on day to day.
I think I may have eaten two crackers today before 8pm but then had cottage pie and chocolate. Anyway, that how things are here Chez Tipperary, so wont be overly worried about weight loss for the time being.

Very stressful time for you and I admire your strength. Being there for your daughter is so important and she’s very lucky to have you x

I am so sorry. Poor wee Zoe. I hope she recuperates well. And it is so tough to understand how the future may be for Oscar. And Thomas - everyone focused on Z and O - tough for him too, wee lad.
The grief for what will be and what won't be is huge, and meawhile you three adults have all three children to care for. We so rarely talk about grief for the living. I hope your daughter will be able to talk about it with you. She may not realise the future for Owen in the way you will.
I hope you can get exxpert help to help Owen live the best he can.
Sending you love and strength and resolution, dear Miinimins friend.
