Its not actually mothers day here but it is in most other places. Hope that everyone is spoilt and/or spoils their mum today.
I will tell my husband its mothers day here just to panic him I think!
Went for tapas last night, there was alot of food, I ate about 3/4's of my portion and was stuffed, it was really nice though. I suprised myself by not having dessert, I had coffee instead. Unfortunatly the scales are up 2 pounds but I know that thats probably down to salt and eating late at night and will go shortly.
Off out shortly to take Isobel to the cinema, want to do a little shopping too, I need some new make up and I'd like some fitness trainers, skechers or MBT's. Was talking to a lady in the gym today who bought some and said they were on offer so will go and have a look.
Hope that everyone has a good day xx

Toothache is marvelous for weightloss
Good morning, cold and wet here, horrible!
Went to see the dentist yesterday, I have an infection and will require a root canal, how did that happen? Everything was fine 6 months ago.
The kind of plus side is that i'm not very interested in eating and have been sticking to mush type food as chewing hurts.
Weighed in this morning at 16st 10 & 3/4 lbs. (234 and 3/4 lbs) This is an alltime low! This makes my total loss just over 18 lbs.
Didn't have a great night's sleep as my son woke up wet when we went to bed, he wears 2 nappies, have no idea how that happened and then Isobel woke at 2am having wet the bed! This happen's rarely, I think that they must have planned it! So now I have lots of laundry and its raining outside (I prefer my sheets to dry outside)
Am going out to dinner with a couple of friends tonight, really hoping that I won't overeat, the way my mouth feels its unlikely. I will stick to something fairly mushy, risotto or something, I might have a small dessert though, maybe a little icecream but won't go over the top.
Am going to take my toothache to the gym shortly, my brain is making excuses but I must go as with the kids being ill i've not been since Sunday. Have a lovely weekend x

Election excitement and still liking my scales!
There was a general election here in the UK yesterday, have been watching the results come in for the last couple of hours, its looking like a hung parliment with the conservatives having the biggest majority. Not sure how I feel about it, I didn't vote conservative!
Less than a week to my fill! 6 days in fact, I had a letter yesterday with details of my band, I have an AP Large which holds 14cc. I'm suprised at that, thought it would be a 10cc one, can't help but think that my stomach must be huge to have one as big as that and feel a bit unhappy about it, not sure why, i'm sure it doesn't matter at all.
I was banded 6 weeks and 1 day ago.
My scales say 16st 11.5 pounds (235.5) today which is a total loss of 17.5 lbs. I'm feeling like I have now got in to a routine with my eating, i'm really pleased about it but would probably starve without Innocent Veg pots!
Hope everyone has a lovely Friday, I have an awful toothache, maybe thats why i'm not eating so much!

No sleep but loving the scales.
Have yet another ill child, George now seems to have an ear infection, he's been up since 1am, brought him in to us at 5, he slept a little as did I, I then woke up with him giving me a massive kiss, the sentiment was lovely but I thought I was drowning! So no nursery for him which means no gym for me and no vacuuming the stairs - am very disapointed! We're off to the Dr's in a while and then i'm hoping that we can both sleep, Isobel is better and my friend has taken her to school and is picking her up from school and giving her dinner which is lovely of her.
The scales are my friend today, I weighed in at 16 st 12 lbs (236 lbs), which is my lowest weight, I only stood on them twice, was too exhausted to do it again. Feel like i'm back on track which is great, eating (healthy) ready meals seems to be really helping. I've lost a measily 17 pounds in total.
Have mentioned before that no one other than my husband and best friend know about my surgery, I planned to tell my friend N about it. She's a good friend and is quite overweight, she told me about 2 years ago that she was doing a vlcd (very low cal diet) called Lighterlife and that was a last ditch attempt and if it didn't work she was going to have surgery. I remember thinking that that was quite drastic! She did well on the diet but came off it and gained a fair bit of weight back, I invited her out for dinner for my birthday in March and she said that she was back on the diet and couldn't come.
I tried to call her a few times before my surgery and didn't get an answer, tried again after surgery and got no answer. Caught her on facebook the other day and had a chat, I mentioned that i'd tried to call, had she been away, she hadn't. So I told her that i'd wanted to tell her that i'd had surgery and i've not heard from her since, this is 2 weeks ago!
To be fair, she has alot going on, she has a son who has special educational needs and has been out of school for a while so she has been fighting to get him a place somewhere aswell as looking after him full time.
But, I am finding it very odd, I wonder if she's a bit cross that I had surgery and she hasn't or she has had surgery and doesn't want to say. There is every possibility that I am over thinking this and she'll be in touch soon, it is very odd behaviour for her though. Has anyone had odd reactions from people who they thought would be supportive?

we have a difference of opinion!
Did I mention that my scales were rubbish? They are today I weighed in at 17 st 0 (238 lbs) I can never trust it so tried again, it said 16st 13 (237) 3 times so I thought that was probably it, made the mistake on standing on them about 5 minutes later and they said 17st twice so have no idea really!
Have looked at buying some more, have checked out lots of reviews and none seem to be very accurate, does anyone recomend any scales? Even if they are in the US I should be able to get them here.
Managed to eat well all day yesterday, am going to do the same today. I have the added problem of having both of my kids at home today, Isobel has an ear infection, went to dr's last night and was told to keep her off school today. She seems fine, bit snotty, bit tired and her behaviour is appalling so same as usual!
I know that I moan about my kids alot here, I love them more than anything but goodness me Isobel is trying my patience at the moment. She is 5 going on 13. She got in to trouble at school yesterday for refusing to stand in line. She spent an hour with the headteacher making up excuses for not standing in line and refusing to appologise. I know that this could be as she was feeling a bit unwell but this is the latest in a long line of things.
I do think that because of the kind of school it is with fairly small class sizes they see and address everything whereas in larger classes some of it would be noticed.
Anyway, I could go on but quite frankly i'm boring myself, I have no idea what to do.
8 days until my fill, am feeling hungry, perhaps i'll eat Isobel, solve 2 problems at once!

young guns (go for it!)
No real reason for the title other than hearing the song on the radio in the car this morning. Had just dropped George at nursery so turned it up loud and sang along. In case you don't know its a Wham song and ridiculously camp.
Anyway, i'm not a young gun (what is a young gun anyway?) but today I am going for it! My food choices have been stupid lately, we spent the school fee's on this band and what am I doing? Trying to snap it off by eating loads of food! Incidently, I saw an article in a downmarket magazine the other day about a woman who's band had snapped!
But not today and not from now on, oh no. I have it all planned out today, breakfast was to be a shake with a banana, this didn't happen as the stupid blender wouldn't blend, I really must take it back to the shop. I had wheatabix instead, worth about 200 cals, lunch was a Innocent veg pot risotto, was ok 260 cals. Dinner will be another Innocent veg pot, a dhal one, about 300 cals, I may have a smoothie lolly thing tonight too which would be 100 cals. I've had some tea and will have more so will allow about 100 cals for milk. Taking me to roughly 1000 cals.
Scale said 17st 2 again today (240 lbs) in fact it said 17.2 and 1/2 but i'm ignoring the half for now!
Today have done lots of housework, my floors look lovely, I feel quite achey after it so it must have helped, my daughter has a friend coming home from school with her today, she lives in the cleanest house i've ever been in so i'm trying to not show myself up!
Hope that everyone has lovely days, thanks so much for your comments, it means so much.

Monday
Happy mayday! Not sure if other countries celebrate, not that we celebrate we just have the day off work/school.
I feel a bit of a let down but I didn't go to the support group on Saturday, I was planning to go but George had been ill and up half the night, I went to the gym in the morning and to be honest I was tired and I just couldn't be bothered, its about a 40 minute drive from here. I will go next month, its not that I will never go again, I find I get so much support from here that its not that much of an issue for me.
The scales showed a shocking 17st 2 today! Have been 16 st 13 for ages, I deserve 17 2 though, i've not been great. It has given me a bit of a kick I think, I will try and be better, 10 days to my fill.
Managed to go to the gym Saturday and Sunday, I would normally go tomorrow too but couldn't get a suitable slot as George is only at nursery for 2 hours, I really need to clean and treat my floors so will come home and do that, it should be quite good exercise. Will go Thursday and Saturday and Sunday and will do something that involves alot of walking with George on Wednesday.
Have just come back from yet another party, it was ok, don't have anymore invitations as yet, yippee!!
Hope everyone is well.
