Hi Marie xxx
I would say have a practice walk with your partner around first to make sure...or maybe try and walk that distance on the treadmill if you have one?
If you feel well in yourself then a gentle walk might be fine but not too much bending and lifting etc.

As for vitamins, we don't have malabsorbtion like bypassers so they aren't so vital as a supplement as for a bypasser...but it's a good idea to have them anyway with a reduced intake like you have now so maybe the chewy ones? That's what I have and they are not a problem x


Em, wow I am so pleased you got out of that worry about the food and you are right love, if you are doing the exercise you will have that natural appetite suppressant from activity plus, work off stress that makes us comfort eat and calories anyway...and increase muscle so that you burn more simply by being in shape xxx

Awwww thankyou Neen!

Your a fabulous wise insight..

Good luck with your sponsored walk. Your Dad has put a downer on your day but just think of the smiles you'll be soliciting because of your sponsored walk? You'll be so proud afterwards. I'm proud of you for wanting to do it.

 

[Sarah Metcalf]

Aw thank you CC, that's a lovely thing to say, you've made me smile xx

It wasn't meant to make you smile, but hey I'm glad it did.

We can't control other people's actions towards us, but we can control other things. Channel your vexation with your dad towards that finishing line tonight honey. Oh and think about all those fantastic calories you'll be burning.

my low carb megastore order came today

me & my brother decided to treat outselves to a few sugar free coffee syrups. we both love a good starbucks or costa latte with whatever syrup...ive been pretty good since my band though & ive really limited myself, and when i did have them, i was having skinny latte with sugar free vanilla or hazlenut...but neither of those flavours were high up on my favourites list. we just ordered a sugar free almond...oh how a love an almond latte.
i just had one, with no guilt invloved or anything.
skimmed milk, decaf coffee & a shot of sugar free almond.


YUM

 

[emma&alex]

oh and TOTALLY off topic, but i have to share.

ive been on the wrong tax code for 2 years
they owe me over 2k

ive been dancing round for the past half an hour...which all goes towards my daily exercise

 

[Neen]

Yay Em that is such good news about your tax refund! And what a fab time of year to get it too xxxx

I have some of those syrups, I have coconut, peppermint paddy, dulche de leche, chocolate, raspberry, lime and irish creme and I used them to fancy up my slimfasts in the summer. Great idea to use them in coffee too...maybe not all my flavours though

 

[emma&alex]

not sure how long it will take for the tax rebate to come through, never had one before. i hope its here before christmas but im not holding my breath..

we got almond, cookie dough, pancake, coconut & watermelon.

im looking forward to coconut & almond. maybe waltermelon over crushed ice would be nice. i cant see pancake or cookie dough being great for much though..but my brother wanted to try those

 

[dottychic]

Wow 2k what a lovely pressie, even if it comes after crimbo it will be a great bonus XX

 

[Sarah Metcalf]

Wow what a lovely pressie Emma

Morning all, how're you today? I've been up since 5.30 as I couldn't sleep, I've a night cough and heart burn. I must admit I'm enjoying the quiet before my OH and son get out of bed.

 

[dottychic]
