More weightloss and the Support Group

It was another great WLS Support Group yesterday with another new face! It's great to see such a fab turnout and everyone looked fabulous!

Oh, and am down to 17st 5lbs!!!!

Homerton Again

Why is it that you wait 1.5hrs to see a doctor (and today I saw the bossman) and you only get a few minutes with him?

I have dropped 1 stone since my last appointment in March and for some reason I was really disappointed.

My legs are stick thin as are my arms but my trunk remains troublesome with excess skin and little man boobs.

I am losing now

Hey,

I am now 17st 9lbs, so I have lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks which, although disappointing, is good news as I thought I was plateauing!

I am now in a size 38" waist and just squeeze into a XXL shirt but I wanna lose a few more pounds so I feel a bit more comfortable in the shirts.

So all good!

A Happy Easter

My weight loss seems to have plateaued and I'm stuck at 17st 13lb despite eating hardly anything.

Easter has been bizarre mainly because it is the first one without Mum who would have cooked a big family meal and bought shed loads of eggs for everyone.  I tried my best to make it as near normal as possible by buying eggs on behalf of dad for my brothers and ensuring we spoilt dad too.

We went to the local Brewers Fayre Pub (The Monkey Puzzle) for lunch and trying to find something that I could eat was so difficult and, predictably, on Sunday's a jacket potato was not on the menu so I ended up spending £7.99 for plain chicken and a small jacket potato instead of chips.  Never mind.

A Bashed up face and finally some weight loss!

What the fuck have I done to my face you're wondering!!

Stupid and silly me fell over last Tuesday straight into the pavement and I was eating the ground - nice. How the fuck did I do it - god knows. My Wii Fit injured foot didn't help plus, as you know, I have had long term problems with my foot where I was getting pins and needles in it and also in my calve and last Tuesday the foot just gave way hence the fall. The last pic above was my attempt at "first aid" but it kept leaking hence a visit to Whipps Cross where I got it stitched up. And today, thank god, the stitches come out!

So apart from that drama, my week has been pretty uneventful. I went home to look after dad for the weekend and was as sick as a dog. Nothing I ate stayed down until Sunday lunchtime where a plain (and boring) jacket potato from the local Harvester went down lovely. I had also been awfully constipated, but the Co-Codamol I had been taking for my face has the side effect of constipation! Nice - I had a lovely turn out this morning and weighed myself and have now broken the 18st barrier and am now 17stone 13lbs yay!!!

So, quite a good week all things considered!
