  • Morning Granny,
    Just been spoiling myself and having my second breakfast and catching up on diaries. Glad you had a lovely break in Malta, and well done on the weight being almost back to pre hols:)
    Am glad to say the you managed to divert the pounds that were coming my way - have stayed the same-ish so hopefully whoever they are going to now is appreciating them;)
    Great news on the investment... fingers crossed it all works out for you.
    I have forwarded quite a few of your piccies onto my DD - they all seem to say exactly what I want to:o A picture paints a 1000 words? Thanks for all your support :A
    Hugs

    Hi NOA, glad to help as I know only too well how it feels.

    I'm now officially the same weight as OH, unless he's lost weight this week, which is possible but he's been eating treats every night!

    Met with preop consultant, weighed, ECG, blood tests, pressure & pulse. Then I dropped the bombshell about wanting to go away and lose another 10kg & he was chuffed. Agreed to 6mths delay & then he'll get me in ASAP due to my hard work & helping myself. I didn't mention Oz but said I'm going away mid May so am looking to come back end May for op in June.

    I'm really happy that he agreed and was so proud of my efforts so far.

    Next week I'm see a dietitian for extra advice so fingers crossed I will be a fitter, happier Mum by the time I get off the plane and a even fitter & happier Granny in May

    Feeling happy today! :D

    Thanks little Miss Lucky x

    DD messaged me earlier to ask how my weight loss was going. I'm trying not to tell her as I want to surprise her when I get off the plane. Luckily she asked something else as well so I skirted around the question. She's bound to ask again though as its her profession after all. I can't be vague either, dilemma, dilemma.

    I've lost the weight I gained on hols & an extra 1.6lbs extra, making a total loss of 32lbs in 14 weeks.

  • :TThanks for publishing your countdown Granny! and what a dilemma about telling DD - how about a little white lie and tell her you have lost less than you have?;)
