    2lb loss for me which is over two weeks, if I try and do some of the same5his week I will show a smallloss for the quarter.

    Penny have i got you right?  

    Ginger I share your pain with gluten, I love good bread but it doesn't like me and causes weight gain 

    How did you do that Jenny, take care it can be very painful for up to six weeks.  

    Just to second Jenny new quarter fresh start, we draw a line under this one and start again


    Can you believe I bent to my side to grab something that I had to reach for; I did the same thing last October at the hospital when In one of the chairs that they sit you in to weigh you / take bloods which is higher off the floor, and because I'm short I overreached and bang, 3rd time in 18 months.

    Had a recall from the GP saying take bloods again, vitamin D deficiency, when I looked at my past tests going back over a year, they have all been too high, and they have just spotted it. 

    Starting to feel as if someone is playing a sick joke on me

    Yes brambling, it seems right.

    I've struggled to eat healthy, but have managed somehow to eat healthier today.
