I've tried about 10 times to write this entry and each time something happens to it! Grrrishness!
Thank you to everyone for their encouragements! Yesterday was one hell of a day for me. Had blood drawn early morning, then my appointment at the fertility clinic (just a check-in really as the last time I was there they said that if I didn't lose a significant amount of weight by this appointment they wouldn't be able to keep me on as a patient). The consultant was amazed at how much I had lost (she kept mentioning it every 5 seconds)...lol My BMI is still a few points too high, but because of the progress I've made so far, they've agreed to keep me on as a patient!!
Next appointment is in 4 months, with LOTS of tests to get done before then. After that it was an hour walk to the train station from the hospital to get into London for my 10K! The weather was decent for the run, which was nice. Finished in 1:18:53!! Almost 30 minutes faster than the last one I ran and faster than my predicted time! Woohoo! Then the train ride back to MK and another hour walk back to the hospital to get the car. It was a LONG day and I've been dead tired today because of it (had to work, though tomorrow is my last work day for the week!). Weighed in this morning (just curious) and I was down to 199.8lbs! If that stays for Sunday, then I will definitely have hit my initial target! Awesome! Hope every one else is well! Best!

Alright... weigh and measurements day! Not gonna lie... was a BIT disappointed with my loss this week, only because of how much exercise I've done, BUT it was still a loss, so not all that disappointed really. I'm down 1 lb, so I weighed in at 199.8!! Technically under my initial goal, but not enough where I feel comfortable saying that 200s are gone for good. Fluctuation could bring them back next week, so I'm going to give it a couple more good weeks before I'm satisfied that I'm officially on the side that I want to be. Though, I also took measurements and my exercising must have paid off more on that front 'cause from a week ago Saturday to today I've lost 8 inches overall! VERY pleased with that!
It's gonna be a LONG work week for me this week. Four 12 hour shifts, Mon, Tues, Thurs and Fri. Can't say I'm looking forward to it, but it needs to be covered, so whatever. If it means my co-workers are more willing to cover me when/if I need a day off, then so be it. Just wish I had the energy to do things (meaning housework)... but I really don't. I'm starting to feel really tired ALL THE TIME. I had my bloods done last Wednesday so hopefully this Wednesday they'll have the results. I'm hoping every thing is fine, but I'd also like to know if there happens to be something off so I can hopefully get it fixed.
Hope every one else is well!

Alright, so it's Sunday yet again! And the results for today are: 196.4lbs/89.1kg/14st 0.4lbs!! That's a 3.4lb loss for this week! By next week I'm sure I'll be in the 13st range, which will mean I've lost almost 5st since the end of January. Very excited for that.
In other news, my sister has changed her wedding date. It was going to be March 2015 (which is where I got my goal date from), we were going to spend three weeks visiting with my family in the US. Now, her changed date is August 30th of THIS YEAR... as in 3 months away. Told her I couldn't make it 'cause there's no way I could take time off in August now, but she said she'll pay for tickets, so we're leaving on the Friday and returning on the Monday. Going to be a whirlwind weekend for us, but I know that if I don't go, I will regret it. They don't want a huge wedding, but his parents want a huge wedding and have really been laying on the pressure to go HUGE, so they're doing a small one in secret and not telling his parents until everything is booked and paid for. I'm not really one to say anything, and it's their wedding, so they can have the day however they want, I just want to be there to celebrate with them.
Hope every one else is well!

Great loss hun, well done you!! My work colleague did that recently, she's Floridian and had a wedding to attend so did it in a 3 day trip, she was cream crackered but the time she was back at work, but she survived. I agree you'd regret it if you didn't go. Nice short term goal for looking smoking hot??? X

Before anyone responds, I KNOW I probably shouldn't have done this, but I've been CRAVING coke for the passed month-ish I was just afraid of how it would make my tum feel. Yesterday I got a coke at a take-away (just a small one) and let it sit so that it went flat (reduce the bubbles, and it tastes the same to me regardless) and then tried it and I seriously felt like I was in heaven. I was also pleased to see that it took me TWO DAYS to drink a small coke. Now I won't be doing that very often... just the occasional treat now and again. It's just nice to know that I CAN have it. Has anyone else done this? Not necessarily with coke, but just with something they didn't think they could have post op, but have found they now can?
Hope every one is well!

I've tried a tiny bit of flatish fizzy pop, but it really hurt my tummy so never again. I've had totally totally flat diet lemonade that had been in the fridge for zonks, and that was fine. Any hint of bubbles though = no go! No judgement here lovey, a bit of what you fancy goes a long way xxx
