So sorry to see that you have had a bad day Sunshine. Everything is still so much of a learning curve. I hope you are feeling better now

Shaggs, Bindi & mellyphat Looks like it is just us for the catch up on Saturday. Do we want to meet in Parramatta instead of driving to Campbelltown? Bindi & melly - you can both still meet at my place if you like :laugh:

Hi all megsy - well done Shaggs - thanks for the pep talk. I am very proud of what I have done so far. Just disappointed that I was out of routine. I reckon I have only lost 1 kg in the last 3 weeks :tt2: Have got back on my wii as of yesterday and am ramping things back up. I have decided that my health is more important than my job :laugh:

Shaggs& Megsy I am so pleased to see that you are both going well. I am doing ok but not as well as I would like. I will not hit my first mini goal which is disappointing. I had my first appt with the physio today and she has inspired me to get more active and get back in to my exercise. I was easily losing 1kg a week then and now it has dropped to maybe half a kg if I am lucky. Back to my wii tomorrow.

I seem to be coping ok. I managed to eat a sausage sanwich for lunch with fresh white bread and didnt have any issues except for the fact that the sausage was cold by the time I finished Feeling very PMS - even feel like some chocolate which is a sure sign

Shaggs - How did you finish up last night? Dont be too hard on yourself. I still love my wine but have the low calorie one. I dont know if you drink red or white. I like the Lindemans Early Harvest SSB. BB (before band) I would have 3 - 4 glasses of wine every night of the week. Now I have 5 glasses over the week. Normally 1 glass on Thursday nights and 2 glasses on Fri & Sat night. Remember that this isnt a diet and you need to still enjoy life :blushing:

Shaggs - stick with it hun. A lot of what we are doing is about retraining our brain and breaking some of the old habits. I was the same and would always have wine & nibblies. Why dont you have a goal to have a glass of wine when DH comes home (as long as he isnt gone fo weeks :tongue2: )

Hi all I had my second fill today. I had 4ml on the day or surgery, 2.5 ml on the 19/1 and 1.5 ml today. That's a total of 8ml. Does that seem to be an average for people or does that seem to be quite tight? I know that evryone is different but just an average would be nice :rose:

Hi all Here is my proposal. I was trying to find something that was central for everyone. Campbelltown is between 50 - 60 min drive for most people based on info from Google maps. Macarthur Square at Campbelltown on Sat March 14. There a few coffee shops like Gloria Jeans & Jamaica Blue. We can meet at either and those that just want coffee can do that but they still offer food choices. How does 11:00 sound? From most of the posts it looks like everyone is coming without children - unless I have missed something :thumbup: Mel - you can come here and we can drive down together if you like. Bindi - I know its going backwards to come forwards but you are welcome to come here as well. Tazziecat - would you be happy driving to Campbelltown?

Megsy - :thumbup: I completely understand where you are coming from as I feel the same. I have my next fill tomorrow and can not wait. I feel minimal restriction. I have decided the thing for me to do is to go back to eating really small amounts (a teaspoon size) and chewing lots. This is something I find is easy to forget especially if I havent drunk all my water and I am hungry. I have 3 kgs to lose in 3 weeks to meet my first goal. I would love to do it in 2 weeks but I think that is asking a bit much. Just remember that there are highs and lows in everything and you have done a great job so far. I am sure you will get back on track soon,
