update
well just back from weightloss management meeting and have lost 3lb in 2 weeks according to their scales will keep a record of it but not going to change ticker as im still getting weighed at gp's every 2 weeks and thats what my ticker is linked too
would like to say the meeting was a great success but the 5 people who didnt turn up today thought it was as garbage as i thought it was last week only difference is im determind to see this hurdle through no matter how high they make it
anyway dont go back for another 2 weeks get weighed on friday at gps so hopefully have had a weight loss there as well
sorry to sound ungrateful but i feel that this part of what they want me to do is just a number crunching exercise they havnt told or given me anything i dont already know or do and all they are doing is shifting me sideways

doctor agrees with me but has insisted i keep going to the group meetings and we will see what happens at the end and she will push again that they put me forward for funding
leg still a bit swollen and red from the celulitus but she still cant give me anymore antibiotics for at least another 2 weeks
will have to try and keep positve over the next 2 weeks

update of my progress
well its been a while since i updated this thread but that was because i didnt really have anything to report
so whats happening u ask !
had a car crash in November and hurt my knee well was already sore but crash made it worse
i have progressed to the next stage of the tier system of weight management that operates here at least i have progresed forward as a couple on the group didnt
have been for my first appointment with them and all went well looks like i have to spend the next 6 months at this stage and also lose weight to show i am commited that could be the hard part as i dont seem to lose very much they havnt said how much they want me to lose and i was to scared to ask will the next time though which is in 2 weeks time was told they only do 48 surgerys a year on nhs here so im gonna have to fight hard to make sure i get 1
still having a problem with fluid on my knee which is still very painful going to see a Lymphademia specialist on Friday as physio think that might be the problem

update
have been on orlistat since monday and have been feeling crap was ok monday but on tuesday had a terrible headache and kept being sick couldnt keep even water down went back to bed for most of the day and managed to sleep so didnt take any tablets on tuesday have managed to take wed and todays still have a sicky feeling so dont know if its just a viral thing or me having a reaction to the tablets will have to perserveer
i am at the nurse tomorow for my weigh-in so i will ask her then not due back to the dietician untill 5th april so fingers crossed will have a decent weight loss
have become obsessed with counting calories and fat content again but found a good site where i can log what i eat myfitnesspal and what exercise i do though not done much what with sore leg

thought id do an update have been on holiday the last 2 weeks and i have found it hard keeping to any sort of diet still taking the orlistat so it keeping me semi straight and narrow
went to my practice nurse to get weighed and i have lost 2 kilos in the last 2 weeks so at least it is coming off
according to their scales and records i have lost 8 kilos since the 14/01/11so both her and me did a wee dance (whoop whoop )round the scales even with my sore knee
dont go back to the weight management group for another 2 weeks so hopefully it will show there as well as its their scales that it has to count on so fingers crossed
the knee is slowly getting better have better days than others and cant walk for long periods or distance
have just noticed that it is coming up to almost a year since i was referred by my GP been a long haul but hopefully not much longer now
