    Yeah, some reasonable news.
    Tumour shrunk and almost at a size they are happy to operate on. Back in three weeks, for another scan, and fingers crossed will get a date for operation.

    So on all my drugs over Christmas, but at least the end is almost in sight.

    Really pleased for you kathryna . Shame you have to have Christmas drugs but still good news. :xmassmile

    Not going to group this week denise . In any event we've got a stand-in for 3 weeks as my consultant is off to Australia!

    How does that offer compare with group prices? I need to do the maths. :)

    Well done on all the losses. Some big ones in the spreadsheet, especially for so close to Christmas.


    I am all partied out now. Feeling the need for speed food and sleep.
    Thankfully only a day and a half left to work this year.


    At the hospital this afternoon for another scan and to see the consultant. Desperately hoping for some good news this time.


    Today's plan:
    Breakfast - porridge and fruit
    Lunch/snacks - generally don't feel like it with the stuff they inject in to me for the scan
    Dinner - beef stew that's already in the slow cooker

    Hope you had good news xx


    Maman the new books are January, i take the money at group, been thinking glad i wont be doing it January as bet its manic:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    In group the magazine is £1.95, so 7 would be £13.65, so the magazine offer would save you 15p

    Goodness, I haven’t stopped all day. Brain still whirring so no point in trying to sleep yet. May as well catch up on how everyone is doing.

    Three stone SSM that’s amazing :j Well done you :T:T:T:T you asked what motivates me.... I think I got fed up of feeling rubbish and sluggish and not fitting into anything I wanted to wear. I would open my wardrobe, see lots of nice things that I used to wear but not be able to get them on. Not even close!

    No underwear in the garden for me :rotfl: I’m completely overlooked!!

    I have to admit my clothes were fit to burst... not they are huge on me. I put my suit on last night it was huge.... I tucked the trousers in my bra, and put a jacket that had been donated by a friends elderly mother who thought she was helping....she helped, I wore clothes that fit, but looked like a granny!

    Now I have images of you in the garden with my underwear on!!!

    Good luck VALM for your WI, I hope you get that stone tonight.

    Best of luck for the hospital today KATHRYN. Good that you have a warming dinner already made to come home to. Hopefully you will feel able to eat it.

    My sister is of the ‘sod it, it’s Christmas’ mindset and brought me a tin of quality street plus some other goodies last night. I did have a couple but overall I’m resisting and think that I can still do my body some good by being on plan and then relaxing to enjoy what I want next week. If I let things slip now, I could prob put on half a stone before Christmas. Bloomin weight goes on so easy!

    Keep plodding everyone x

    Step away from the chocolates......:D:D:D:D:D

    I hope it goes well at the hospital today kathrynha :)

    -1½ for me today.

    Hoping that I can stick to plan until next Monday's WI, then relax it for Christmas day and Boxing day, and still have time to pull it back for the last WI :rotfl:

    Well done :T:T:T:T:T

    Hi all

    Not at all surprised to report after eating coffee cake and bits in Chester plus Xmas lunch Friday a gain of

    +2lbs

    Never mind, will chalk it to experience. I've decided to revamp my challenge to get to 11 stone then safari as i didn't think I'd get this far and you guys really do keep me on task in all honesty

    Going to my partners works do. Goodness knows how much he's planning on drinking as he won £70 on a bet and said he was going to spend it at the party. But I'll be getting the last bus home as I don't really want to spend £20 on a taxi and he works in a club and it's not really my thing (there's like 5 years difference but he seems older or I act younger. - even my team leader at work said she didn't think I was what I am - I said I act about 5 some days then mum repeated it at home which made me laugh.

    You WILL make it to the 11 stone and you WILL go on the safari.... but if OH stays in the pub drinking his winnings, you need to take me on your safari instead of him!

    :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
