You are ALL bloomin' marvellous

Update:

There are bathroom scales in our holiday cottage.

Leaving aside the issue of why any holiday let landlord would be so satanically sadistic as to offer their tenants the chance to measure their holiday weight gain ...

The scales are posh glass, steel and batteries. So probably accurate.

I have lost 13lbs in the 200 days when I was last weighed at the endo clinic.



Works out at something like 1/3 lb per week loss.
Which is stunning.
And I wouldn't want it faster cos I want my skin to NOT sag and hang in folds, like it did 10 years ago when I lost too much, too fast, and it took years to shrink to fit again.

This is awesome.
I'm eating so much fab food.
I'm never stressed, shaking, pale, guilty, hungry, cold, miserable, hypo or hyper.
I'm chugging double cream in scrambled eggs, coffee and on berries.
I'm eating Brie and pork scratchings as packed lunch.
I'm over 2,000 cals every day (I checked on myfitnesspal for about 3 weeks)
I'm sometimes up to 3,000 cals

Today has been
Scram egg (with cream) sausages
Coffee with cream
Prawn and walnut salad with mayo
Homemade low carb scone, strawberry jam and clotted cream
Chicken breast with garlic herb crust, Mediterranean veg with cheese and one biscuit, to follow.

And I'm losing weight.

Thank you all.
 
Awesome ! Well done you !

A couple of things though - I entirely agree about the scales in a holiday cottage ! How fiendish !

And how many times did you pick 'em up then put 'em back before you succumbed to temptation ?

I'm so glad you were pleasantly surprised

It was an interesting 48 hrs.

Was your exercise mainly walking up to them, pivoting on one leg and walking away, trying not to glance back?
 
From someone you have helped and supported in so many ways I want to add my congrats as well!
I want you to be as happy as you sound In Your posts on this thread.
Keep up the good work! May you lose as many pounds as I have and worry about the wrinkles and folds of loose skin that has just suddenly appeared.
It's great news kidda!
And thanks again @Brunneria
 

Thank you zand.
That means a lot. Really.
 
Why are you thanking Zand for my post or have I missed something in translation?
Or have been on semiphonics tipple?
 
Good grief!!!

Apologies to @nosher8355 and @zand

It was the football theme! I looked at your football avatar and thought zand. I'm obviously going senile. Especially since your name was right there in front of me!



Right, trying again:

Thank you nosher

Apology excepted!

You are forgiven!
 
But hey, why not just thank @zand anyway? She would be happy to have a spare 'thank you'.

Good point. Will edit above.

And doesn't this just prove how fixated on avatars I am? Far more so than names.

It's the same in real life. I forget names within about 5 mins, but I'll remember your face, what you were wearing, what you had to drink, and what we talked about...
 
I have a problem remembering proper nouns! Trying to run a football team of 16 lads is and can be embarrassing and frustrating.
I remember my dad calling me my brothers name and he never noticed he said it! I hope I don't get that bad!
Or am I like that already?
