Thanks Woody - saw my doc today in Urgent Care which made me a bit more comfortable. He said he feels swelling in the tendons - took 5 X-rays and no break. He changed my meds and told me to keep resting the arm. Could be worse. Just starting to miss beating the poop out of my trainer

Thanks guys! Back in the ER again. One week out and my arm feels worse ? So off to X-ray I go!

Not good. Keep us updated x

Just in from the dietitian. She's thrilled with my progress. BMI is 29, body fat down from 50% to 39%. Almost all of my loss is fat only! She upped my calories a bit and I'm on my own for the next 4 weeks!

Just at the airport waiting to leave on holiday for 3 weeks... Made a commitment to my husband and myself that I will come back two kilos (5 lbs) lighter than today. Going to be a true test but this isn't a diet, it's a lifestyle change Hope everyone has a splendid weekend!

Have a great time Neisie

Has any one on here been feeling the cold more after losing weight??
I am finding that I am especially when I'm tired which is a lot recently. Also sometimes some of my fingernails go a bit blue and cold. Not all of them usually one or two and they are not painful at all and warm up and go pink easily so not worried just thinking maybe sluggish circulation. I was wondering if anyone else has any similar experiences??
Hope everyone is doing well and if I don't speak to you before the big day have a wonderful Christmas xxxxx

Hi Woody! I've been cold, too! I was constantly hot before and now I've been sleeping with an extra blanket! Probably the reduced calories and less fat for insulation

Hope everyone is doing well. Merry Christmas!

Hello my lovelies I'm ok just been a bit crazy changing jobs not really had much chance to get online. I've stopped being randomly sick but now when I'm introducing solids I get very unwell bloating and vomiting, and feel unwell for a couple of days later, with like a strained feeling in my stomach and side like I've pulled something :-( I'm trying just yogurts soups and jelly to see if that helps, flushing with plenty of water, my gosh aren't the eggy burps the worst!! At least fizzy water gets rid of that ;-) hope everyone is ok, and merry Christmas xx

Really good to hear from you peppermint fairy was worried about you xx
You will get there with the solids. I still get cramps and bloating a lot but you get used to it. The eggy burps are awful I can't drink fizzy drinks as makes me bloated but a mint usually helps. Good news that you are no longer vomiting. Have you weighed yourself yet??
You are doing really well keep in touch xxx
