We now weigh the equivalent of a Bloodhound, a Housecat and a Chihuahua :rotfl:

I've slipped off the wagon with a vengeance lately. Life has been manic lately, I've had lots of cooking to do for various events, viewers looking round the house and then the weather!
The last thing on my mind has been what is being pushed into my mouth. I haven't dared to step on the scales but my clothes are extremely tight and uncomfortable so it won't be good news.
By the end of next week the madness should have slowed down a bit. I will take stock then, wash my hair shirt and get back to real, earnest life.
Well done everyone who has not used the cold weather as an excuse for indulging.
And for the rest of us.............penance will have to be paid.

Lol I'd love to think of myself as a bloodhound, but have the sneaking suspicious I might be the chihuahua's....paw.

Well not a great day today, as the snow has thawed decided to venture into the West End for shopping expedition with dd as promised for her birthday on the coming Monday.

B 2 crumpets with marmite
L shared 1/2 garlic bread with Morzarella, 1/2 small Peperami pizza 1/2 spinach cannelloni
D fish and chips!

Only plus side is walked a lot (for me) 17000 steps

Tomorrow I will go for a walk whist the kids are at karate to try and work a bit more off!

Oh I love fish and chips....

I'm back, I'm mended, I had a bit of an inkling when they said there would be a team of 10 working on me in theatre that it could be a big job, I was first on the list and spent most of the day there and woke up the following day, discharged 8 days later. Absolutely no problems with the op, the Brompton Heart Hospital have brilliant surgeons.

Unfortunately, since I've been home I've had a reaction to possibly one of the drugs, I was given anti-histamines by the Dr which made me retain water so at the moment I look like a 'Mitchelin Tyre' and I've put on over a stone in weight - mainly water I hope.

My aim for the rest of this year is to take my pre-op weight as a base line and to lose 2 stone on top of that which will take me down to a reasonable weight. Gosh: if I manage it I'll have lost a total of just under 6 stone - Here's hoping.

Thank-you to one and all for your kind comments before my op and I'm looking forward to joining in again.

Knit Witch when does the next challenge start? I'm raring to get going.

Me too they are my favourite takeaway.
I think this week will be a right off as tomorrow I will be making dd's birthday cake and then next Sunday we are having Chinese as its Mother's Day and no one else in my house can cook, and I really don't want to next week (working sat so Sunday will be my off day)

May have to draw a very wide line and start a fresh the following Monday

Glad to hear it all went well (apart from the water retention :mad:) the next challenge starts on Saturday 31st March - so not long to wait

Sorry Knit Witch, I forgot to update with my result this week. 0.5 lb off for me please.

Take it easy Zafiro. Until everything settles down you may be as well to do what I did this challenge due to the large open wound I had on my leg. Knit Witch very kindly set me a target of half a pound so that anything that I lost was a bonus. As it happens I have lost 8 lbs so far, but psychologically it's been so much better for me because there was less chance of failing and making myself feel bad. My leg is mostly healed on the outside now but still opens up occasionally. There's a lot of healing needed inside too and I'm guessing your insides will be healing even more than my leg. I'm not quite over the tissue viability nurse waving something in the air on the end of a scalpel and asking "Have you had stitches in this?" When I shook my head she said "Oh it must be a blood vessel" and carried on cutting.....

Brilliant news :dance:

Think I agree with the other comments to take things gently and give yourself time to heal. Hope all continues to progress well
