Thanks for the chart Delly, I love the colour scheme too. Are you going on holiday? (See how out of touch I am:() - if so, have a great time.

Lois, if only I was going on holiday. I'd love to go to Rome, heard that there's a fantastic tour of the Necropolis under St. Peter's basilica (I just love the history of the place) That I'd love to see. Maybe when DS is bigger I might get to go.

I'm booked in to get my gall bladder removed (one of the wonderful leftovers of my pregnancy with DS - gallstones!) on Saturday week. Hopefully it'll be keyhole surgery and not to huge a deal but it's a 2 week recovery and I wanted to allow myself the time to come around properly without letting everyone on here down. I thought I'd give the chart over to efrieze early so that she could practise next week. I forgot that you'll be about to help out too.

Well done natanddan :j :j that's a fantastic start, keep it up...

...mercurystar999 Hi :wave: I'm sorry I can't help you as I calorie count, but there is (or was) someone here who followed the tesco diet plan so hopefully they'll be along and give you some advice. However, whatever plan you decide to follow why not stay here with us for added motivation and inspiration, we all know how hard it can be to lose weight. It was the daily help from this thread that helped me lose my weight, and I wish you the same success :j ...

Hi Petrichor,

I notice you said you calorie count. I have decided to try this too but wasn't really sure how many calories a day I should be allowed. I tried the link on the first page to the calorie count plus website and according to that I should eat 1850 calories per day to lose a healthy 1-2 lbs a week.

I thought that was a bit high and have tried to stick to between 1250 and 1500 per day but am a bit worried that this is too low. How much did you try and stick to?

Well done Natanddan - great start - hope I do as well when I check in with the doc a week on Monday

What do you do with these oils grannynise? I've never been into them before. I can't bath with any oils or rub anything to my skin or I'm in big trouble. Didn't have a cold shower this morning. Wasn't complete madness to try them though, as 10 years ago I spent 2 years on a cold bath therapy programme (20mins everyday up to neck with cold water ) and it was very helpful. But i wasn't on immune suppressants then so maybe my white blood count can't cope with the extra demand.

Now I'm not an expert on these things so please take all my ideas with a very large pinch of (low sodium) salt.

Mandarin is nice, and menthol .... but it just depends what sort of smells get you going ....

You can get fancy little burners where you put a tealight in the base and a few drops of a good quality oil in a dish on top with water. The vapour drifts about. Then you forget about it, the water evaporates, the dish cracks and you throw it all away in disgust. Or, in the same places as you can buy the oils, you can get a ring that sits on top of a bulb in any ordinary table lamp. You put some drops of oil on the ring. Balance it on the lamp. Then knock the lamp so that the ring falls off and breaks. Throw it all away in disgust. Or I know people sometimes put drops on the filter of the vacuum cleaner. Personally I don't vacuum enough to make that worthwhile.

I don't think anyone would rub them straight on their skin, you'd have to mix them up with loads of a carrier oil to dilute them sufficiently. If I put them in the bath I use literally a drop from an eye dropper for a bath full of water. Because the pure oils are very concentrated you do have to be careful and maybe, as you clearly have very specific health issues, you'd want to check beofre using them at all. The benefits are all in the mind I reckon anyway!
