Yeah so they knew the cancer was in her hip. It's spread to a bit of the pelvis which they knew. But I think when they started the surgery it was much worse than anticipated, hence the need for a further replacement to be made! Very scary stuff! ______ Also congratulations, you can chest press and leg press more than a 32…

Yep I had surgery on my hand which was scary as I've never been put under before. They had to cut my hand open to clean it and put the bone into the right alignment. Then I woke up with it half-cast and bandaged. Although hopefully off tomorrow. Dreading to see what state it's in Plus it's still rather sore, at first it…

@cschmitz110515 Ouch that does sound very painful. I broke my dominant hand too. It's been well hard, with spreading butter and tying up my hair at the top of my listo. I get my second X ray on Thursday and hopefully my cast off. This one's only a half cast, so around my pinky and 4th finger, outer hand and down my arm and…

Hey all, Update from me! I managed to finally shift the scale in a downwards motion. Woohoo my gym workouts are finally paying off. Although on Thursday I fell down a few stairs at home and managed to break my hand whilst catching my fall. Had surgery on Friday afternoon and home Friday night. Just feel a bit miserable.…

🦇👻🎃Happy Halloween! I carved my pumpkins last night, I've got the seeds, pulp and some chunks of pumpkin with the flesh on from the parts we've cut out. And I have no idea what I can do with it all (if anything) And you guys are great at recipes so I thought of asking you!

Hey everyone! Been MIA again! Kids were off for the October half term so was just generally busy again! I did manage to get to the gym twice in that week. Yesterday the kids went back to school except Saskia was unwell. So I missed the gym again. Today was my first day back at the gym and I've managed to hurt myself. You'd…

Beautiful pics! So picturesque!

I do, but I don't own one. I use the gym ones. I used to have digital scales that did it but they broke. The one at the gym is next level. You have to hold onto two handles as well and then it measures everything. Personally I think it's great, not entirely convinced on the accuracy but you can learn alot. For example I…

I am wiped out. Hit the gym again today. Nearly pulled my back out on the hack squat machine. The second it twinged I put the safety bars back on and got off. Sod that lol. I've also got myself on the stair master the last couple of times. What used to be my enemy machine I now love! I never knew how to use it but these…

I changed my mind! Count me in for the 5lb challenge! Mon 7 Oct: SW - 176 I've been hitting the gym AND logging food so I thought why the heck not. I'm actually doing it now lol! We joined a new gym! Our first one was okay but so basic, the upside being I got in free as a carer. We have now joined a new gym, which has the…

Hmm, my thoughts are that you can only do what you can do. So although your friends suggestions come from a nice place, you should just do you. Like you said, it is working and you have lost weight. I've heard it many times and will hear it many times again. Weightloss is NOT linear. You're gonna have ups and downs. And…

@HappyDonkey75 Don't feel ashamed about your thoughts before your parents visited. I think it's normal to be uneasy about the unknown!! When I had post natal depression 10 years ago. ALL my thoughts were warped so I had to go to CBT. She made me go out and do certain social events. But I had to write how I felt before and…

I think I'm gonna pass on this 5lb challenge this time. I know I always do it but still feeling under the weather and I've got a lot on this month. Saskias in her last year of Primary school! So it's all SATs and i need to apply for highschools before the deadline on the 31st oct. Then I'm paying for a school residential…

You don't have to apologise! I also do the same when I'm overwhelmed so I understand what you mean . I'm forever back on forth on this app now. I hate the fact I used to be so consistent, because why can't I do it now?! It's good to have you back! And you're always welcome back now matter how long it's been! I still often…

Thanks for your support guys. Was feeling very sorry for myself yesterday. As an added bonus, last night my uterus decided it was time for a period, I think I actually laughed at that one. Way to kick a woman when she's already down! My fingers stopped bleeding. I took a pic to show ash because I've been keeping it under…

Can feel even more sorry for myself now. I cut my finger on the indoor car handle when getting out. The indoor handles have like a chrome covering which decided to peel away before slicing my finger to death. Sounds dramatic but it was bleeding a fair bit but I had to go food shopping? So I stuck a plaster on it and got on…

Not been feeling so great this last week. Full of a cold and a bad temper 😒 Not really gone gym, in a way I tried. I got up in the mornings intending to go but by the time I had done the school run I was just too annoyed at everything to go! Yesterday the arm also broke off my glasses again. Why are they so friggin…

I'm sorry to hear about the internet troubles. I don't know how I would manage without it. We've just reduced our speeds to change to a different tariff. We told the kids that the internet might not be great with us all using it at once and the eldest actually cried 😂 I think she thought we meant it wouldn't work. Im also…

@PackerFanInGB Good luck with your results! I really hope you get the results you want!! Haha I don't know why I self sabotage either!! Bad habits die hard! I have been doing "bits" though. A little bit of logging here and there which I guess is better than nothing! I'll get there! Gym has stayed pretty consistent, and I'm…

She loves her ear defenders. And she does well with not using them all the time. She truly does just use them when she needs them Glad I got them because she said her classroom is alot noisier than last year 😂 I'm still waiting for the next stage of her assessment. I think I got a letter in June? Saying it's a 5 month wait…

JFT Saturday - Log ALL food - Drink 6 waters - Limit snacks! (Fight the cravings!) - Finish chore list (ugh) Really trying to spur myself on today!! I want to achieve these goals! On an unrelated note.. I got £20 from a product testing the other day, I decided to buy Marley some Ear Defenders to help her with the sensory…

Thanks for the advice! At the minute we're doing about 40 mins of weights, so bicep/tricep on assisted machines. Then free weight chest presses. Then I do legs so leg press, adductor/abductor and calfs. Then I do 30 mins incline on the treadmill So alot lol! But I'm just so tired of the weights. If I cant do it, or Im…

Got a bit upset after the gym today. It's been around 6 weeks where I've not been properly because of the school holidays. I knew I wasn't going to do as well as before but I was just so tired. Ash said he's never seen someone want to give up so easily! He tried to spur me on but I feel like every cell of my body was…

We usually buy the 70% (they have an 80% and 85% but they're a bit too bitter for me) Lindt chocolate. They even go up to a 99% but even the lady in the shop said that it's a very acquired taste

Welcome! I also need to avoid snack foods and sweets! It's so hard to do! I've noticed I'm eating less now than I was.. but I'm still eating it. Good luck!

Yeah this year we put the kids in summer club too. So on Tues/Weds and Thursdays they were at a club. Due to our circumstances we actually get "credits" for half-term activities. And because it took me ages to figure out how to actually use them I had loads that had added up! And 1 credit was one day at the club. So 10-2pm…

Hey everyone! I know I've been quiet but I have been reading everyone's posts! I've just had some mad busy summer. We cancelled our holiday to Devon. Wasn't an easy decision to make but firstly we knew we didnt have enough money to cover everything. Well we had enough money but we would have had very little savings to come…

Don't be ashamed, as you said, these moments are very rare! And straight away you're back to your goals! I'm glad you didn't vomit it up! That shows great strength and I know I don't really know you personally or all the ins and outs of what you've been through but sounds like to me you made the right choice! Just a…

I think I did okay yesterday.. can't remember exactly what I ate and I know I had some "bedtime snacks" but I think it was a handful of nuts? Really can't remember. Either way it's better than most other days. Today I've also done okay so far. Eggs, 1 piece of bacon (last one in the pack lol!) and mushrooms for breakfast,…

Trying hard to get my diet right today. Feeling pretty miserable about it all! I just can't get my head in the game. Sonetines I'm super focused on it but it just never lasts and I can't get my head in that same mindset for ages. So I skipped breakfast, didn't know what to have anyway, but got hungry around 11am so I've…
