BANDERS UNITE ! Get to know each other chatter !

[Neen]

Don't worry TB, probably just busier in the summertime..people go out and about more.
I am around (can't get rid of me) but next week is half term so some of us will be busy again.
Don't fret x

I love the ticker haha

Lots of love and healing thoughts to you and Mr TB

Thanks Neen. I am loving trying the low carbing. I feel a lot better for it. I am still reading through the book and tying to get my head around the difference with the old Atkins. It is much more flexible. Once they sort my band - and I am hoping it will be something small that can be sorted - I am going to work through the phases. I am going to make some of the broths for the liquid stage and see what I can do for the mushies stage and then try induction proper for when I am back on solids to really get things rolling again.

How are you doing - I saw your post on the Atkins thread.

Hi TB n Neen I'm lurking. Sorry to hear Mr. TB is ill I hope he gets better soon.
I too saw and liked the ticker
Am. Shattered so not done much this evening. Just watched the supersized ambulance prog with my daughter which instigated some very in depth interesting conversation with her which was good and I hope has made her understand obesity a little more as a result.
Going to catch some zzzzzz as cycling tomorrow xxxx

Hey TB and Rache xxxx
Well I'm OK apart from kid related stuff and Aunt Flo arriving any moment.
I hope you have a good rest Rache...keep thinking about the fab legs you'll have to show off after all this cycling !
TB It's great to hear you're feeling better for the low carb stuff,..I do too! I need to watch my portions a little bit...sometimes I think I'm scared to feel hungry after a meal...so too often I eat more than I should..so gonna swap to smaller plates again this week and just try and fit some exercise in.
Hope you get sorted really soon...it's been non stop for you x

Hey banders!

Rache I watched supersize ambulance too and it made me sad, the grey haired lady on the oxygen reminded me of my mum :cry:

TB I hope Mr TB gets better soon x

Things are very stressy for me at work at the moment so Im not sleeping well, too tired to exercise or eat properly

A www... I love seeing you guys supporting each other. It's so nice to have a place to come for love and support.

Tb - I hope mr tb feels better very soon and that your band problems get sorted asap. Must be really tough trying to deal with everything and beeatch ming Ellen too!
Hope you enjoy the cycling. I'd love to start again, even though I'm not very good, but I can handle seeing my dogs looking up at me wondering why i would want to take a two wheeled machine or a walk rather than them!

Well done Atkins crowd! Good to hear you're enjoying it! Are you going to weigh on Saturday Neen?

[Neen]

[Rache]

awww Mazza it was sad in places hugs xx

I'm really down this week, want it to go away. Managing my sloppies well, still being sick a bit, might need to cook the veggies a bit more before mashing.
Have had loads of compliments this week about looking slimmer (I can't see it myself but it was nice to hear) maybe the scales might shift this week after all.

Never did cycle today, overslept and woke at half 9 so had to rush to work in the car instead. Will have an early night tonight and attempt a cycle again tomorrow.

xxxxx

Hi everyone. Just off to cook Mr TB dinner. Got my appointment for the CT scan on 1 June. I rang up and asked about the barium xray but they said they need to do the CT scan first. I hope they can let me know how soon I will have to wait for the xray. Came home from work in terrible pain so going to have an early night.

Hope everyone is ok.
