UK Cathy

Well weighed this morning and 2lb out off that 3lb holiday excess has GONE!!! Each day the new site is easier to navigate but I'm still not in love with it all yet. Personally I cannot see the advantage of combining sites but I was very happy with VST. Off to work now, have a good day everyone - you might of finished yours by now, I'm not sure of all the time differences (08:37) here. Yikes I'm late.

It unsubsribed me too, back to the drawing board...

I think more things are getting sorted each day. On the ipad I found all the threads I have participated in (tab next to current). What I have found though is that I have been unsubscibed from all these posts so don't get any indication when a post has a new message. What I have done is to go to each post individually, press the top right button and subscribe to the post again. Hope this can help someone/ anyone.

WildChickie, have you measured yourself, many people find that they may not lose lbs during a stall but they do lose inches.

Good I found you guys again, I can see and I can post too but it does not advise me of new posts. It is only when I was out of touch with everyone that I realised I rely on the contact with you guys. I know I don't post all the time but I am an avid reader. LV congrats on the 140s. It seems like they are slowly but surely finding and fixing the problems. It must be a nightmare for Alex. Hopefully by next week we will be back to normal. Hope everyone has a good weekend. Love you all

I can get the pages up now but still no 5:2. I tried using the search option but it seems to be incomplete. FYE gave a link but I'm finding the link does not work on ipad app. Edit today's messages only appeared after I posted this one so did not see LV directions to 5:2 group, going to get there now. It definitely does not appear on my subscribed posts though.

Where does it say what type of wls person you are, I'm accessing on ipad and don't see anything. If you are on a computer what am I? (Sleeve I hope)

Well I can see the thread now but I can't get on yo the current page. It opens on page 1 Anne says that there are 123 pages but when I click to go to the pages it says they don't exist. Feeling frustrated and missing you guys.

Also I don't seem to be picking up post eg whole of nov 7 missing.

Fast day for me today. FYE - bellydancing sounds fun but the thought of jiggling my belly around fills me with horror and I would feel sorry for anyone else in the class. OD - sorry you are feeling so bad, I don't know your whole situation but could any of your friends introduce you to someone decent? They know you and would certainly look out for you. I can't read much of the thread at the moment as I am literally going out the door to work, hope I haven't missed anything too important. I will catch up tonight.

Kathy I am so pleased for you, I bet you looked beautiful and danced wonderfully, light on you feet,and your granddaughter was proud to be with you.

Good fast day yesterday came in at 532. I do have a feeling of carb withdrawal manifesting itself as head hunger. I will have to keep busy today, though it helps that there is nothing in the fridge as I have not done a shop since coming back from holiday. I must remedy that today as I cannot go a whole day without my Greek yoghurt.

Well the holiday is well and truly over, 3lb gain for the week which is not bad considering what I have had. Real carb intake today, need to knock this on the head. Fast day tomorrow which I am looking forward to. Back Saturday pm, work yesterday and another funeral today- I wish people would stop dying on me, that is 3 in just over 1 month. It was a real celebration of the persons life though and not a weeping session. I have been in the car for 6 hours today, so much for a day off. I have been reading posts while on holiday, for everyone struggling I can only offer up prayer, for those who are in a good place please pass on the vibes. I did exercise when on holiday - while husband wad swimming I did my lunges, planks, squats etc on a small area of grass next yo the pool. I did not have any weight with me but I did find a large rock (approx 4kg) which I used as my weight. Husband said he was proud of me as he never thought I would exercise voluntarily and in public too. Hopefully 2 fasts this week will make a dent in the 3lb, though Sod's law says it takes a week to go on and a month to come off.

I went with cosmetic bliss and I could not fault them, however, I have heard this week that the company has gone into administration.

OD send the fat hater a 'before' picture and tell him his attitude sucks, big/small, tall/short, black/white, young/ old ... We are all people with feelings so tell him until he gets his head around that he is not going to have anyone to share his small bigoted world with ! Here endeth the lesson.

Thanks everyone for feedback, love salmon so will add more of that to diet, also read up that chia seeds are good for omega 3 have got some of those in the cupboard so they will be getting added to my Greek yoghurt.

Georgia, they were the zero calories ones, 20g protein and 2g carbs - I think that she was muttering as she left!!

Music lover don't fear it will come off but it might take more time than you think. Sleeved April 12 with a target loss of 100lb, I too hoped that would happen in 1 yr but it didn't and I could see before that year was up it wasn't going to happen and yes I was disappointed. I think my stats were about the same as yours but do not have access to the figures at the moment. Have faith, chip away and you will get there, at the moment I am at 92lb loss and that other 8lb could take me up to my 2 yr anniversary but it doesn't matter, I look and feel much better. I do want to reach that number on the scale and I will but I can't tell you when.

What do I take for omega 3, is that a supplement in itself?

GT it took a lot of strength to tell us, thank you. I cannot offer anything practical I can only offer prayers. I hope that does not offend you as in this day and age it is say to cause offence when the word prayer is used. I am a great believer in prayer , it is not a matter of asking for a cure ( but that would be nice) but for asking for peace of mind for you so that you can sleep, think more clearly and make right decisions. I send you a big (((HUG))).

What post op instructions were you given by your surgeon or NUT?

Well my weight was up 0.5lb Sunday morning, the holiday obviously started early. Sat looking at the sea, reading and relaxing. Went out for lunch and had a prawn omelette and I am totally stuffed. Life is good. Brown it sounds like you have found your exercise - dancing! It is something you enjoy so go for it, especially if your lovely husband will give you a foot rub afterwards. Coffee calls.

You will feel more restriction with more dense food.

CGJ forgot to add that your pics look amazing, so jealous of that flat tum. If that is you swollen what will it look like in a few weeks!!
