Hugs from me too Suggs. Remember you're not alone and we all know it gets tough. Feel free to share your thoughts if it helps.

Congrats on STS Victory

Been eating Frosties for brekkie a couple of times a week and I really don't like the sugary taste but my son's decided he's "gone off" them (he hasn't really), and the use by date is coming up.... :rolleyes:

Luckily it's my favourite lunch today, pasta bolognese, to take the taste away :j

Don't want to bring the mood down but is it ok if I share something? My other half knows about this but I can't let on how much it is upsetting me.

I got a letter a few days ago outlining my last clinic visit. Whilst looking for something else they found a small lump on one of my lungs. I've had two scans so far and they have brought forward the date for a third as it has grown. I've never smoked (but I grew up in a bar) but the consultant said if it's cancer it would appear in the same place as this lump . I feel I can't let my OH half know how frightened I am as a few years ago the doctors found a benign tumour in my brain and that was a huge strain on us. Don't get me wrong he was great but the waiting for results put us through the wringer. Now it seems like it's happening all over again. I'm putting on a smiley face but it's hard. My mum puts her head in the sand about things, my dad doesn't like talking about things and my brother and sister aren't the most sympathetic when it comes to talking about emotions either (told to get a grip!). I was on my own really the last time.

This is one of the reason I really want to lose weight. The consultant told me that if it is the worst news it would be best for me to be in good shape. The problem is I have no will power, and when I get down or worried I eat! That's why I'm trying to concentrate on exercise but I have to be careful due to the thing in my head. Catch 22!

Gosh I'm sorry for going on! I feel a bit better for getting that out though!

Just found this thread, I started Slim Fast last week and lost 3lbs already! I have another 14lb to lose.
The links in the first post are brilliant, thanks for posting them, I wondered what my BMR was.

Maybe I didnt explain myself, I am sorry, meant more along the lines that you soon realise that many people have problems and issues as bad if not worse than my own. Head not with it, sorry x

Tagz I'm sending you loads of positive vibes. I know first hand that the waiting is the worst bit, and I know there are a few others on here who can relate too. You're definitely not alone with us lot here
