in Motivation and Support
Hello Team UK!

Can you believe that it is November already!? Well, for me today marks 2 years since I moved to the UK - it's been a big 2 years but I still can't believe it has been that long. When I first moved I was really sad and homesick and off work waiting for vaccinations for 3 months and that is actually when I gained the majority of my weight. So now that I am FINALLY getting settled (just about to start my first permanent job and no longer saving for a wedding abroad) it is definitely time to re-focus and get this weight back a bit!

Looking forward to another month of Team UK motivation :)

    Morning everyone, it's back to school for the kids from a lovely relaxing week off, just about managed to drag them out of bed. Everyone have a lovely day.

    Welcome everyone! Oh, for those of you who haven't been to the Team UK thread before - it's not so much a challenge as a support group. So you can set your own challenges (or just tell us about you or your day!) and keep us updated. It's just nice to be able to talk about stones and food from Tesco :)

    I am defo in. I have been very lax the last couple of weeks. Back to get my body going on again. My challenge this month is half a stone loss or close to that and a size 14-16 hips. Gonna start a new Jillian DVD tomorrow, order my new inner tube to fix my bike and go swimming 3 times a week. xx

    is it really november already? hmmm guess i should start thinking about christmas, parents have sort of confirmed they will be visiting us for christmas just don't know how long for yet (depends on my mums shifts), so got to start thinking bout what to feed them, normally a simple task but dad is awaiting treatment for gallstones so is on a restrictive diet, what he's actually restricted to i'm not quite sure, his gp told him to eat this and the hospital have told him to eat that and i'm looking on the interweb and getting some serious conflicting info so i'm confused, but he's back at the hospital early december so hopefully we will be able to come up with something.

    in the mean time if anyone has any info, please share with me lol

    Yay! Where are you going in Australia? Such a loooooooong trip that I have done too many times but it is worth it in the end I think (not that many but still too many - I guess I've done it 6 times?). Have you been before?

    dad is awaiting treatment for gallstones so is on a restrictive diet, what he's actually restricted to i'm not quite sure

    Not really something I deal with a lot but I'm pretty sure that there is no proven benefit to diet for gallstones. If he is waiting on surgery then they could be wanting him to lose some weight? Or the advice could be some of the old school advice which is mostly restricting fat severely (and sometimes sodium). Hope that helps. Edited to add that I am a registered dietitian in case you didn't know :)
