Weekly weigh in update

GraceB

Well, I've been to my weekly weigh in at S*** W***.

Now, please bear in mind that the last weigh-in I'd maintained (no loss but no gain), and since then I've had an absolute pig of a cold which I just can't get rid of. It's obviously found a lovely home in me and has no intention of moving! :monster: As result, since Thursday I've consumed the best part of a bottle of sugar reduced R*****na as that's the only thing that soothes my throat and my cough.

So, I went tonight having followed the plan despite the lurgy, but not that optimistic. Well, a surprise awaited me! I've lost another 1.5lbs, making my total loss so far (I started the diet 1st Sept) of 7.5lbs. So next week I'll be collecting my first "half-stone" certificate and sticker. I wasn't well enough to stay to class to collect these tonight, so will be given them next week when I weigh in.

Now, if I can lose another 1.5lbs next week that will change my "tonnage" (stones) figure. I'm pleased to have got rid of the first half-stone, so now turn my attention to the next half-stone. By breaking it down like this it makes it manageable for me.

As is my usual approach, I intend to keep chipping away at this. I'll get there - it'll not be a quick journey, but I'll do it.

Thanks for the encouragement so far.

Well done you. As you're battling a lurgy the good news must have been a real boost. Keep up the good work, and I hope you manage to evict your unwanted 'lodger' soon.

Well done again, Grace!

I just swig gallons of tea. I find sweet drinks just make me thirstier.

A fine achievement. Keep going.

Thanks for your encouragement. I'll keep going.

I've still got this blasted cold! I've set a deadline of Sunday night and if I'm still coughing then like a 40-a-day smoker, I'll be asking Monday for a GP appointment so I can have blood tests. Oddly, my cough is really bad in the mornings. Having been anaemic in the past, I am naturally wondering as it seems odd that I just can't shift this bug. My partner regularly sees the district nurse and on Friday the one who came in said I should have cleared this bug long since, and agrees that I'm probably run down. We'll see what happens but the novelty of this bug has long since worn off.
