Sending you lots of hugs and tissues and uplifting thoughts. I hope your happy memories with your Nan overwhelm the sadness at losing her. I know that will happen eventually, but I hope you can bond with the family by sharing silly memories. Thinking of you today, and sending all our MIA friends good thoughts.

I'm personally in the kind of forge, personally, that either makes or breaks a person, and so I'm trying to buckle down, strap on my butt kicking boots, and pull up my big girl panties to fight back...so wish me (us!) luck...because we're sure as heck gonna need it. But, I'm okay, overall...just so tired of the constant stress. Thank all the gods in Valhalla, in heaven, and on earth for MFP and my friends here to help deal with that in productive ways.

Hugs, Carly

Lise- Sorry to hear about the loss of your nan. Will be sending extra thoughts your way during this difficult time.

Carly- get to some butt kicking. Fighting back is never easy but always so worth it in the end.

As for me I am busy with the kids and switching up some things around here. Possibly thinking about getting a real job - I have been a stay at home mom for 16 years so that is extremely frightening. Sadly though my first thought was then I wouldn't have the time to exercise. We'll see, my husband is waiting on a dream job offer that may change everything. I can't say I don't enjoy not working.

I have hit another weightloss goal I never imagined I could and am now down 110 lbs. ! Things have really slowed down on that front which I expected but I am within a pound of my original goal that I never thought I would meet. I am also almost out of the obese category. I am starting to reevaluate and am thinking that I can definitely go lower. I don't think I will ever get to a point with a healthy bmi but I weigh about what I did as a teen and for being a middle aged woman with five kids I dont think that is bad.

Hiya

Sorry to hear its tough there Carly. I know you can kick its *kitten*. Keep checking in we are all here for you. Thinking of you will PM you in a bit.

Wendy well done on 110! Thats immense. I am stuck at 50 but its not been helped by food choices this week. Plan is from tomorrow to do a 100 day challenge. I am giving up chocolate for 100 days to raise money for a friend's charity and autistic little boy. Am also planning on upping my water again, dropping my sodium and carbs and seeing if I cant de-bloat and kickstart things again.

Nans funeral was every bit as awful as I had imagined. My dad broke down and I had to stand and comfort him when I was pretty much breaking inside myself. The worst bit was sitting in the hotel room that evening in the quiet when kids in bed reading fb statuses about absolutely nothing and wondering how the world was continuing to turn and nobody had noticed the massive hole in it. I am still pretty much grieving now and it has kicked off my depression fairly well, Ive been put back on a 2nd medication when I had managed to get down to one so am really hoping it doesnt affect my weight.

Ive also been off work 2.5 weeks now and am back at gp tomorrow to see where I go next as I am still not doing very well sensory wise, I cant cope with noise and crowds so as an Emergency Nurse thats a little tricky. So we shall just have to see what happens there. Its probably not helped this plateau as ive not really stuck to it 100%. Hoping starting this challenge tomorrow will focus me mentally and emotionally. I did go for a good drinking session with my friends last night and they are close enough that I could offload a lot of my thoughts onto them without being judged which did help a little. So today am feeding my hangover and eating some last choc before tomorrow so I am currently as far off plan as you get but tomorro is a new day. Lets see where it goes.
