Hello Everyone,
I have had a very strange and busy week. My mum was scheduled in to have her gallbladder taken out on Friday morning, which went well, but she didn't come out of the anaesthetic as quick as they hoped, so they kept her in over night. Then My sister went into labour on Saturday night and had her 3rd, Little baby Eoghan (Owen), I now have 2 nieces and 2 lbs nephews and he is adorable, I can't believe how small they are, I don't remember the other 3 being so tiny. He was 7lb 10 and what a tiny little bundle of cuteness.
I also had a memorial lunch with my family on Sunday as it is my papa's 16th anniversary of his death, he was an absolute legend, so we like to meet up and have good food and wine and just laugh at stuff. So on Monday Morning I weighed in at 274.7
(2.7lbs up). Tuesday I had managed to get it down to 273.1 after burning nearly 1000 calories in exercise on Monday. I then relaxed with a friend yesterday before weighing in at 272.9 this morning. I am fed up of these 272's been here for a month or so. I have some serious catching up to do, as I am meant to be at around 269 by today
so here I am playing catch up all over again. I really need to find some motivation from somewhere. Gym all week possibly. Today I will be back at it and stay for longer in hope of burning a little extra.
Sugar Aww I hope you get better soon
, its not great when you aren't 100%
Ruby I am glad you enjoyed your break away and that your dad got some relief with the hot tub, they are wonderful things aren't they. I really should think about making some Pico, I love it!! Will need to find a good recipe.
Msemilyrose11 I am not on Medi fast (I actually had to google it), as I am not American. I know quite a few people who do similar types of programmes and it works well for them. For me, they make me bloat so badly
with all the shakes and soups and stuff, not sure if I maybe have a dairy intolerance, but I get the same with all shakes, especially protein shakes
. I started last year at 323lbs and I am now lbs down, my target is 168, so its 155lbs that I need to lose in total. Its a tough gig, and I wish I started it earlier. My aim was always to lose about 52lbs a year (1lb a week), as with the benefit of not yet being 30, I am hoping to reduce the possibility of badly lose skin.
Karen Well Done!!! That is awesome!! I am currently in size 14 jeans which is the best feeling ever, my breasticles do not allow me yet to get under an 18 yet though
. Your are doing great though!
