Oh Brambling I do feel for you. It’s hateful when medical people dismiss us so readily as if we don’t know our own body or feel what we are feeling. When I had cancer my gynaecologist man was a right pompous a**ehole - and I don’t use the word lightly. I mean, your in a pretty vulnerable position during examination and he REALLY hurt me during a procedure that I’ve since heard is done under anaesthesia. Oh, he said, I’m sure it’s nothing worse that a slight period cramp!! well Mr know all, turn round and let me shove this up your jacksie and we’ll compare notes!!!🤬🤬🤬 

Hope you get the right outcome x

speaking from the view point of a woman who passed out more than once with period pain I'll hold him down for you when you insert  definitely a advantage of the memopause !

hmmm.....just tracked my calories for the first time in ages out of curiosity (thinking I was probably more at maintenance today). Came to just about 2000 calories which is pretty much what I was expecting!
Also my nutritional requirements came in at 98% which is brilliant so I def feel like Im on the right track.
Still not feeling that 'diety' at the moment though, its just too blimmin' cold! Also I have been craving fruit like nobodies business and eating it with every meal.
In other news I found a hula hoop behind a cupboard and have decided I wont be happy until I can hula hoop like a champ!!LOL

Groupies please stop saying “only lost 1lb” because ANY loss is flipping awesome!  

You should be celebrating your achievement. 1lb per week is 52lbs per year which is 3st 10lbs per year! 

YOU’RE DOING BRILLIANTLY.

I always think of it as 1b a week is a stone every 3 months which is no mean feat.

No change for me this week, not really a surprise, ate a bit more and did a bit less exercise than last week so it shows on a weigh day.
Try to do better for next week.

Edit - on a positive note I feel a little slimmer.

Well done everybody on all your efforts.

Back on track and lost another 2lb this week so that puts me at 11st 6lb.  Hope everyone is doing well

I was half a pound down this week. Bit disappointed but we had our first meal out without the little ones for about 9 months so ate and drank a bit more than planned.
