re the toilet thing; I do that too! Glad to know I'm not the only one!

The KFC I indulged in hasn't made too much of a dent in the weight loss thankfully. I did go and exercise pretty well the following day so figured it's cancelled it out. It tasted fantastic too, I love their chips!

Didn't get out of bed early enough to exercise today so will have to go tomorrow and make up for it. Luckily I enjoy it; it's just a pain getting there.

Ok weigh in day!

I was dreading it as I have NOT been good, alcohol & bad food all week. BUT it didn't do any damage! Wahoo! :j Problem is I weighs in hoping to shock mysel into being good... :rotfl: well that didn't really work! :rotfl:

So a STS for me (although dropped .03 of a BMI) so went down a little bit!

Well done Jo, I havent weighed my self today, I'll do it over the weekend and give you an update!

I'm so glad you all do the toilet thing too!

Well I ended up eating very little during the day yesterday, but not for the right reasons. I was at home at lunchtime, had a headache and took an ibuprofen (which I have always taken and never had a problem with) and 10 mins later was having a severe anaphylactic reaction. I stabbed myself with my epipen (which I carry for my food allergies) and called an ambulance...It was all fine in the end but they kept me in for about 10 hrs because I was sevely tachycardic and they couldn't get my heart rate down. Eventually it came down considerably and they let me go home, thank god. Today I feel absolutely battered and for some stupid reason all panicky and tearful - I think because I've always known what I'm allergic to and the thought that suddenly I was allergic to something else that I had no idea about is bl*ody terrifying. I feel scared to touch anything or do anything! Stupid really. But it was the most terrifying experience of my life. I have never had such a severe reaction whilst alone and if I hadn't had my phone right next to me and managed to call the ambulance quite quickly I would have died - it sounds dramatic but it's fact.

Anyway - thst's my exciting news!

I weighed this morning and was the same as yesterday, so I do think I have lost 4lbs this week so that's something to be grateful for anyway! I may have a bit of a 'day off' today as I really feel in need of some comfort food. I'll try not to go too off the rails though as I don't want to ruin the good progress I made this week.

Hope everyone has a good weekend!

:eek: Daisy I hope you're ok, thank goodness you had your phone and epipen near you. Weighing in would have been the last thing on my mind after a reaction like that. Must have been so scary!

:eek: Daisie that sounds awful! So glad you are OK. I have been worrying about silly little things, kind of puts things in perspective.

N I think you should relax a bit today, it's the start of the weekend anyway.

Thanks guys

I am trying to relax, can't calm down though.

Also slightly worried as at one point one of the nurses asked if I had diabetes because my blood sugar was high. He was the only person who mentioned it though and when I spoke to my sister (who is a doctor) later she said the adrenaline can make it high. The doctor never mentioned it or anything or any of the other 200 nurses I saw....but they were a bit all over the place and I barely saw the same person twice so I suppose it could have been missed. I have no symptoms of diabetes and don't have it in my family or anything....but I suppose being overweight puts me at risk. Ergh! Wondering if I should go to the doctor or just forget it...I kind of would rather not know!

Definitely go to the doctors. It's really not something that you should ignore hoping. Saying that I wouldn't worry too much about it, u just really need to know one way or the other.

I'm sure your sister's right, but I would see the doctor just in case.At least they can give you some reassurance about it.

Have spoken to a doctor and they said the epipen definitely does raise blood sugar as does being in a state of physical shock (I.e. after having an allergic reaction!) I can have a test next time I'm at the doctors but there is no urgency.

Plus, I had full bloods done a couple of months ago when I had all my head problem and that included a diabetes test which came out fine. So I am not going to worry unduly!
