Monday 24th March weigh in

If it is Galen its taken a very long time to emerge.

I am trying to keep away from medics, if they get their hands on my scoliosis I am sure it will start to hurt. If they try do do anything about my short leg it will cause a problem. I have been ignoring them for years, not going to let anyone start messing with them now.

No about the right time. We've only been seeing it for the last few years. You can google it!

I thought you were joking! I'll google

Galen I do suffer from fatigue and need more sleep than most but put that down to the lack of a thyroid gland. This pain, according to the doc. is related to the terrible back pain which has now gone and even the hip to knee pain is improving. I intend to start back at the gym next week. If I do have PPS then I think I will ignore it until it gets worse. The scoliosis doesn't hurt so I am happy to ignore that. Clearly I should lose weight if I have PPS but I need to do that anyway.

I really don't want to be diagnosed with anything else, I've had enough! I have a friend who also had polio, hers when she was about 3 but I have no intention of telling her about this as she would be very worried!

If I notice any particular muscle weakness I will think again.

Thanks for telling me.

It's quite well known. We see some people with it for the mobility component of DLA which is going ? Next week!

Head will remain in sand Galen

at least you know you're not imagining it!
Mind you, there is a commissioners decision that says that pain is real even if it is imagined! ( judge Jacobs)

I seem to have lost 2 pounds. Am now 10 stone 10, I have had some chocolate this week, but something's working. Hmm Easter is coming, that could be tricky!

Haven't done this for ages but got the munchies late last night and ate a slice of cake; a chunk of cheese; a packet of crisps and two shortbread biscuits [this sounds like something from The Very Hungry Caterpillar] At least I didn't start on the ice cream [which used to be my late night munchfest].

And the very hungry caterpillar turned into a beautiful butterfly

For some reason I seem to have lost 900g in the last 2 weeks (don't think I posted last week). Can't understand it, but will enjoy it while it lasts - not long probably as Easter and chocolate are looming...

Good luck to everyone over the weekend and don't worry about the hot cross buns and the Easter eggs. If it's traditional, it doesn't count

tegan I hope its gone by August
orca I am afraid that a day is all I have lost this week
grannyeggs fantastic and you had chocolate.
tegan we will be looking for that beautiful butterfly
when well done, no claim it quick.

I have stayed the same, got one more week until the wedding, tried dress on and its fine but lets see what I can shift this week.

This week 5lb 9.7oz

Challenge total 3stone 13.7lbs

Hi back on track lost the kilo put on! Not surprising as been so sick but still pleased!

Best of luck, glass. If you can get into the dress happily now, you've won already so that anything you lose in the coming week is a big, sparkly BONUS!!! (Perhaps that should be a slim, sparkly bonus)

celeb sorry to hear you have been feeling out of sorts but we wont knock the kilo loss.

when thank you, the dress was an interim target,but cant let up now I need to focus on getting to target which is another 1 stone 6lbs.

This week 7lb 11.7oz
