Weekly weigh in

[penelope1008]

Hi Miss Tickle. Thomas is doing ok slow but steady, he's a bit worried about leaving rented house empty over Christmas so need to speak to his housemates & get them to reassure him.
As for me not sure on size or BMI I will be at that weight as I'm able to get into size 12-14's now but no doubt the excess skin will have some effect on sizes, whilst I'm aiming for mid ideal weight range I also accept that may not happen in an ideal world it would but then life's not always given to letting us have the ideal world life. Lol
As to my albums not much in them I never quite manage to get the pictures uploaded properly so will need to get my it geeks on to teaching me properly. However if you want to see my pics they are on my Facebook pages pm me & I'll let you have the details if you're interested.

[Miss Tickle]

Wow-fantastic wl. What a boost coming up to Christmas. well done.
p.s. hope Thomas is going on well xx

 

[penelope1008]

Thanks ladies, just what I needed along with the extra energy curtesy of the extra iron before Christmas. Thomas seems to be doing ok, it took a week of daily calls to his consultants team to get the missing support addressed & the lack of info to his GP & Uni sorted but he has a meeting with his consultant today so hopefully the 2 mth gap between his crisis team visits & next appointment will be addressed. His Uni counsellor is going to as we can't get there to make sure every detail is covered, Thomas is taking a dictaphone with him to do he doesn't miss anything or get confused. We pick him up next Monday for a few days home so can spoil him a bit,well as much as we can without driving him round the bend. Family visits catching up with mates & some r&r are the order of the day.

2.5lbs down now 12st 7lbs.

Went to GP to chat about letter from dietitian re blood results, we had a chat I educated him on what we need to watch out for etc & before I left he decided to weigh me to update their records, well I weighed in on his scales at 79kg or 12st 4lbs that's 3lbs down since 19th december which isn't a huge loss but as I tried new foods over Christmas & had the odd chocolate I don't think it's bad. My pouch liked some of the new foods others it rejected but over all I am happy with the results so far. Main check will be next weeks first weigh in on the regular weight watchers scales to see what they say after all the gps scales could weigh different from theirs or the cake ration could be different. Whatever the result of the differences between the two sets of scales as long as its a loss I shall be happy. I may jump on mine here at bed time to check if mine agree. Lol

 

[Miss Tickle]

You do so well!! Everytime I see your avatar I do a double take as you look so skinny! I'd love to see some photo's in your albums!
What did he say about your bloods !

 

[penelope1008]

He had no clue had sent them to a specialist at our local hospital for advice. Basically the iron supplement he thinks I can stop now I've had a boost just buy multi-vitamins & minerals with iron & zinc. He was going to do more bloods in February but due to see dietitian for more bloods then so decided to let them go it. I can see problems looming as they have no clue I was educating him. Lol
I will try to upload some more pics old & new mind you gobsmacked GP by saying pre surgery I had shrunk to just in a 16 from a 20/22 a year before to the size 10 knitted dress I was wearing yesterday, mind you had a polo neck & thermal vest on underneath, was bloody freezing.

well done hun xx

 

[Tray3004]

Well dun Hun x

 

[penelope1008]

Thanks ladies & well done ryanrara. So far in total I am down from 19st 2lbs to 12st 4lbs that's just under the 7st in total so far. & 3st 3lbs since July.

 

[ryanrara]

well done all and also thanks xx

 

[penelope1008]

Well it appears the gps scales are weighing differently to the weight watchers ones as I weighed in there for the first time since the 19th December & I have gained 1/2lb since then which in the grand scheme of things isn't much BUT as the gps scales said I'd lost 3lbs from my last weight watchers weight it appears I have gained 3 1/2lbs in a 5 days which isn't good so whilst I am not happy to have gained weight I think I will stick with the weight watchers scales as they are my regular scales & it's more likely to be right. However I will be checking my measurements to compare them as I haven't done that for a while to see how much I have physically shrunk the clothes sizes that for now show I've shrunk but the direct comparison will be interesting.

 

[Miss Tickle]

How irirtating ! I've got my own scales now and put them in EXACTLY the same place and to weigh myself. I also have no clothes on so I can't blame the clothes for any variations! And I have a wee first lol xx

 

[penelope1008]

Yeah frustrating normally only use the ww ones but he wanted to check what I was compared to their last record but someone's scales need recalibrating I think. But either way I'm getting lots of good feed back & compliments still with people amazed I have up to 4st to go although I'm aiming for another 3st which gives me a 1 stone leaway incase I can't stop losing when I get to what I want. But personal kick up the bum to get to the exercise & work on some toning as well as picking up the speed of losing if I can I want this last few stone gone by the summer if I can.

 

[Miss Tickle]

Going by your photo I certainly have to agree that you can't see where you're hiding an extra 3 stone !

 

[penelope1008]

Thanks for that but there's plenty of wobbly bits that need toning & fat hiding behind that to no doubt ot may be I won't get much further because of the excess skin but guide wise there's a bit still to go. Mind you at my biggest I looked big but not necessarily as heavy as I actually was the inches seem to have disappeared along with the weight so I look thinner than my weight suggests.

 

[penelope1008]

Another week another 1.5lbs down that pesky 0.5lb gain from christmas plus another 1lb great. Now to get back to the pool to start that tone up plus with luck speed up the losses.
