Thanks everyone and yes fento...holiday shopping will be expensive i'm sure haha. But that's all part of this journey, a new wardrobe and I expected the cost that came along with it.
Just been having a chat with my mum as my other half, bless him, is not totally enthusiastic about me wanting to start excercising or hitting 6st loss goals etc. I want him to be proud of me and excited with me, but I think the reality is that he's a bit scared. Sometimes he jokes around saying that I'll leave him when I'm 'thin' to which I tell him he's a daft bugger and that he's my 'lobster' (calling all F.R.I.E.N.D.S fans) and that we are planning on having a baby next year so clearly I'm not going anywhere. But I think the joking masks some genuine concern so I need to tread a bit carefully I think.
Anyone else experienced this? X

My ex hubby was exactly the same and hes moods were terrible should i try to loose weight.......... but hence the ex LOL new hubby (my lobster) is a star ..... encouraging and supportive buying me new clothes and has also promised to fend of any new admirers LOL (long story but my worst fear) Anyway pip its a hard one to deal with but with the slowly slowly attitude ...... lots of tlc and reassurance all should be fine. He just needs to know this weight loss malarkey is all for him and for your soon to be family. Gl hunni its not easy but this journey is for you and your health..... x x x x Another note why don't the show friends anymore............ i used to love it!!!

Yeah, I'm going through the same thing with my hubby, pre-op! He jokes around saying I'll leave him when "I'm thin", but like you, we want babies in the near future, we've just got married in Feb, and also bought a house together 18 months ago - I ain't going anywhere!
The way I see it is; if he can marry me at my biggest (which he did) then he clearly loves me for being me, so it shouldn't matter whether I'm big or small. He's a keeper, and I tell him all the time. I suppose after the op, when I start loosing, I'll just have to make a bit more of an effort to show him and reassure him I still love him and I'm not leaving.
They're like kids something aren't they, bless! X

Thanks for that hun, yeah lots of tlc should be manageable, he knows I love him, but it's almost as if...he forgets? I dunno.
I think they show friends on comedy central now hun, it's still on every day haha.
Oh and Lauralee...I do weigh every day still. I find it helps me keep on track. And I stayed the same last week, so if you're like me...you'll get a good loss this week.
Love, Pip x

Mrs Duck that's exactly what I say to him...he loved me for me, when others in the past would keep our love hidden because they didn't want people to find out they were with a fatty lol. I appreciate my man and love him more than anything! Maybe I should tell him that more...:love:

Well I had a really nice evening yesterday evening. I only worked a half day and am off til Tuesday now so decided to pamper myself a little, had a nice bath, plucked my brows, shaved my legs etc...moisturised all over and just generally spruced myself up a little. I decided that me and guy should have a date night and maybe we could talk about a couple of things.
I told him I was upset when he wasn't supportive of me exercising and that I feel he could show me more that he's proud of me or even just give me the odd comment of 'those trousers are so loose on you now' or 'that skirt looks lovely' or whatever. He told me he was so so proud of me and was amazed at the commitment I'd made and stuck to. He told me that he was terrified when I was in hospital because I didn't recover very well for a few days and he was worried he was going to lose me. He told me he'd never been so scared and didn't sleep properly until I was next to him again. I COULD HAVE CRIED AT THIS POINT.
I realised, although my other half isn't a talker, it doesn't mean he doesn't feel. Sometimes he just needs a little coaxing. I'm constantly learning, growing...and so is he. We just need to learn and grow together.
On another note...you all know I weigh daily, well weighed this morning (after recording a 4lb loss yesterday for the week) and have lost another 3lbs since yesterday...upping my protein and refocusing on my diet has really had it's affect. I'm thrilled. I'm now over half way...but obviously won't record that until next wednesday. X

That was so good you could sit down and talk a few things out, most men aren't talkers and need pushing into it .. the growing together is key, once you start growing and the other doesn't want to grow with you, that when the problems hit!!!

Weigh in day today then...-2lbs. Tiny bit disappointed because it was looking like a -3lbs, but it's been TOM this week so I guess my water retention etc has been up and down. Not to worry, with my -4lbs last week it's still my average of -3lbs per week at the moment. Infact my average weekly loss since the start of this journey has been 3.5lbs per week, can't argue with that really?!
Eeeek look at my ticker now, I'm past half way (by 0.5lbs lol). But seeing my bmi come down from practically 45 to 36.7 is amazing, it really is. I desperately need to start exercising again, must must must pluck up the courage to get out there.
Have a good day folks x

Thanks everyone! I was only mildy peeved because it'd gone down then come up again, but who cares, it'll all even out in the end. I find at the moment the weight is coming off ok, but the inch loss has slowed right down. I mean...doesn't it seem slightly odd that I've lost over 4st and have only lost 1-2 dress sizes. I'm a 20 in some things but still a 22 in others. So to say I started at a 24, and in some clothes am still a 22, it's a little bit gutting. I guess I just thought I'd be a little further along.
I take monthly pictures and from 1st April to 1st May there is so little difference. Grrrr. I know the overall is still good, but it's just frustrating. Rant over xx
