Hello from lots of fat chicks in UK #19 - Page 14 - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Am so tired. Had a blood test done yesterday for diabetes, came back with blood sugar levels of 6.3, if it is over 6 you may be diabetic, so more tests needed. Also have high blood pressure and have to see my doctor within a week. Not nice. Am still trying hard with my eating. maybe solving all this health stuff will solve a few other problems as well.

Sorry to hear that you are tired. I hope that your tests come back with the results that you want. A lot of the time the worrying about the tiredness/illnes is worse than the actual illness etc.

Congrats on your good eating - wish some of your will power would rub off on me - lol

Carol luv, My Mum was diagnosed as a diabetic a few years back with a sugar level above 6.0. She has managed to bring it down to four point something in the two years, not by following any drastic diet but just cutting out the fat and sweet stuff allthough she does indulge from time to time. SHe also lost two stone over two years so the docs are well pleased with her. SO believe that there is hope for you and knowing you through FC I know you will be doing well soon, you have more motivation than most people I know.
SW, sounds like you've been busy, I've been very lazy all wekkend, no cleaning and now the laundry is shouting at me, so I'll be doing that all night so as we're all ready for the week ahead to be able to wear clean clothes

Best go do some folding now, before dindin.

Superwitch · 02-22-2004, 06:29 PM

lmao - my washer is still going now. It has been going all day and yet still I have a huge basket full of dirty laundry - lol.

I just nipped next door to my mother-in-laws as they have a new exercise bike and treadmill. The bike is horrible, so uncomfortable, I think I will stick to the one at the gym. I tried the treadmill too but it is a manual belt one and it will take me a bit of getting used to. In the end settles for a bath - lol.

Just catching up on some e-mails etc and then I am off to bed. Kids are back to school tomorrow - YES YES YES - lol.

[QUOTE=BritinNJ]Hi girlies,
Imagine my surprise when they fitted PERFECTLY!!!

YAY!!! Oh well done

to Chris, you are a star!!

sorry these are the only ones I could find,

Too bad about your son though, especially about being thrown out of the musical. Hope things get a bit more sorted soon.

I think you lot were all rebels when you were younger! I think I must have been an angel, can't remember getting into anything disasterous when I was young...

I cannot remember where Cathy's folks are but I am in Suffolk and I woke up to snow this morning. Yep! White stuff all around.

Now though it has all melted but the sky is a very dark grey and it looks very stormy and threatening. Very beautiful behind the trees with the sunlight shining

and highlighting the almost bare branches but I wonder what is coming later!!

I have felt rather rough over the last few days, think it may be the increase in my painkillers...the doctor doubled the ones I take for my chest pain but I feel quite woozy a couple of hours after I take them, very exhausted and sort of nauseous. Added to this, last night I had the mother of all upset stomachs so now my insides feel very sore and bloated. Yuk.
Oooh suddenly it went all dark...the sun has hidden behind a sheet of cloud and now it doesn't look pretty at all!!

Ta ta for now, love from Teel.

BritinNJ · 02-23-2004, 03:56 PM

Thanks for the stars Teel

Hope you are feeling better soon on your higher meds. My Mum worte and siad she woke to snow too, we are supposed to get some tonight and tomorrow..just a covering, but enought settling to annoy I suppose. I really used to like the snow before we moved here, now four winters later, I've had my fill and dream of ninty and above and brilliant sunshine YEAH!
Am doing well on plan, had an excellent day yesterday and will keep it up until my weigh in on Weds morn, I WILL show a LOSS, YES, YES, YES..... please.....

BritinNJ · 02-24-2004, 10:02 PM

It's very quiet in here today, where did everyone go? I know SW posted yesterday but lost it......but where is everyone else? Are you all madly working out and too busy to exercise those fingers on your keyboards

I have had a good day point wise, plus exercise so as I feel I've had a fairly successful week, I MIGHT, please let it happen, show a loss on those scales tomorrow morning

Hope everyone is doing well, with eating and their llife in general, hope to see some chickies on here soon. I miss ya!

veggie · 02-24-2004, 10:07 PM

Do I count?

If so I am here

veggie · 02-24-2004, 10:12 PM

Oh yeah I have just got a Dr Phil book I know he's big in America but I dont know much about him except he's on Oprah. The whole book club forum here seems to be about him though.

BritinNJ · 02-25-2004, 07:39 AM

Hi Veggie, Of course you count luvey

How's your week going? I know who you're talking about, I don't like him personally, bit too condesending for my liking, but that's just my little opinion.
I LOST this week, YES I DID! Am a happy bunny

Check the weigh in thread to see how much. Hope everyone else is a hppy buny when they jump on their scales too

veggie · 02-25-2004, 09:23 AM

I probably wouldn't like Dr Phil if I saw him on tv all the time

but I don't so that's ok.

teel · 02-26-2004, 11:49 AM

Veggie darlin' of course you count...I love your new avatar!! He is just SO cuute...

I wonder how our Cathy is surviving in chilly old UK at the moment? It has been soooo cold over the last few days and we are expecting more of the white stuff. I inadvertently left my mobile phone in my car for a few hours yesterday evening and when I rescued it I had to coax it back to life and warm it up before it flickered into submission.

BritinNJ · 02-29-2004, 12:34 AM

Hellooooooooooooooo, where is everyone again? I have been a superduper slimmer woman today, have had an awesome day on points and worked like a hurricane cleaning through this building that we call home. I cleaned, in and out, up and down and did tonnes of laundry. Spent an hour and a half hoovering two couches and a big armchair and pouf, that were horribley covered in dog hair and half way through the second couch, when I was fit to be tied cos I ached all over, my lovely little doggies both thought they should climb up on the back of it and lay down and watch me hoover their hairs up! I chased them off with the hoover though and so far have managed to keep them off, so they're still hair free

Went to curves this morning and walked this evening with the above doggies so have got the exercise in as well. I am super! I even manage to amaze myself some days

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. Be good

Superwitch · 02-29-2004, 06:49 PM

Just a quickie. Am definitely going to get back on track tomorrow. Have planned things in all my lunchbreaks this week that do not revolve around food - lol.

Will fill you in on my gossip tomorrow hopefully.

Take care all.

BritinNJ · 03-02-2004, 07:32 AM

Hello all, just a quickie from me too, things have been busy here. Am doing well on track with points and exercise, the weather has ben lovely for this time of year and my son is 17 today! WOW! He can now get his driving permit and bug me to sit with him for the next six months while he practices driving!
Hope everyone is doing ok in their endevours of weight loss this week. It's very quiet in here. Have you all met up with Cathy and are having a big knees up?
