Lily I thought your hubby was OK with having a 4th if you wanted one.
Where is it hubbys family is from?

 

[topsy]

CC eventually got in contact at family support meeting on fri but didnt really help i still feel rubbish voices are bad think i am going to end up back at the drs xxxx

 

[jessicasmum]

Sorry CC wasn't any use, that's a big let down she should be more supportive.
Are the sleeping tablets they gave you still helping with your sleep?

 

[topsy]

Yep thank you hun sleeping meds seem to be working, voices are still bad but I am plodding along as best as I can with support.

xxxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Aww I am so sorry topsy. Are they going to try you on a different med?

Heather - If I really wanted a 4th he would be ok with it, but like he stated before he "prefers" not to. its not an absolute "no, we wont be having a 4th" but more of his preference but he will give in if I wanted a 4th. He just thinks 2 boys and 1 girl is perfect. You got both genders...but I might be soo in love with my girl (if I get one) that I might try for another girl as our 4th who knows.

[jessicasmum]

I've not been good this week have had 3 teas that have been bad so I would of put on this week I know, started back proper today dieting. I'm really disappointed that we have wasted this week like a big step back

 

[topsy]

Awwww sweetheart, tomorrow is a new day and just think how on track you can be this week, and how much you might have lost this time next week YOU can do this, sorry if you have said what diet are you doing sweets? HUGS xxxx

 

[jessicasmum]

Thanks topsy I'm just doing the dieting myself, low calorie. It was going great until Tuesday when hubby was having a bad day and said let's have a tea that was bad every 2 weeks but ever since then we have had more bad teas.

 

[topsy]

You can soon change it round hun, I do slimming world but buy low cal snack for my syns have swapped kettle crisps for quavers or wotsits, I dip apple in greek yog tesco do a finest one which is more expensive but fat free and creamy and at pot last ,me a week. options hot choc for 40 ish cals-Make a cake in a mug with options hot choc, sweetener and an egg put it in microwave for 90 seconds. apple with LF babybel is another fav. cadburys freddo frog is a good choc fix for around 100 cals. Frozen grapes I LOVE, If I can think of any other low cal treat I will add them

I am not sure of low cal tea but I like chicken wrapped in bacon-fat removed and sometime put a laughing cow blue cheese in the middle, low fat mince with sweet pot and carrot topping. I used to buy the fish in parsley sauce (think they are low cal) and packet of steamed veggies for quick tea. Dh ate a macornoni weight watchers meal with added veg the other day which he said was nice ( i bought it from icelnad before I started SW) sorry you probably know all these meals just thinking what I used to do. The SW sight has some recepies you can see without being a member and I think are fairly low in fat but not sure of the caLs diet coke hicken is nice https://group.slimmingworld.com/recipes/diet-cola-chicken.aspx and the bbq sauce to go with any meat https://group.slimmingworld.com/recipes/spicy-barbecue-sauce.aspx hope you can see the recepies hun.

keep going you will get there I only lost 1lbs this week but they all add up xxxx

 

[jessicasmum]

Thank you topsy I'm a vegetarian but some of the treat ideas are good
You would think it would be easier for me because I have hubby to diet with but it can make it harder because if one of us has a bad day then we both do.
You say your husband dieting too? Does he have much to lose?
Ste won't tell me his weight yet but he did say the other week that he wants to lose 10 stone, I think this might still class him as over weight but I checked for his height which is only 5 ft 8 (1 inch taller than me) and the highest weight to be normal weight for him is under 12 stone and I know he won't look right at that weight because he's stocky.

 

[topsy]

Oh sorry sweets i have done the diet coke chicken with quorn but do the sauce first and then add the quorn chunks in the last 10/15 mins

Hubby is 6f 3 and about 12-13 stone so as slim as you get! SO annoying he can eat anything and not gain a lbs!

I want to loose around 11-12 more stone-so most of my husband !!!lol!!! I hate how big I am.

Yep we are all built differently and are different shapes so dont all look right at the same size. Good luck to your hubby on his weight loss too hun xxx

 

[jessicasmum]

How tall are you if don't mind me asking?
Stes mates like that stick thin and can eat anything and won't put weight on, he must be really unhealthy though because he drinks and smokes loads.
Was you always big or did you gain weight after having your little one?
I was bigish when I was a school, the biggest in class but the tallest too. I was a normal weight until after I had Jessica and I went down to half a stone over weight then never lost it and just kept gaining since. The heaviest I have been is 18 stone oh other than when full term pregnant with jasmine I was 18 stone 10.

 

[topsy]

I am 5f 7 wish i was taller lol!

DH is fairly healthy takes 3 piece of fruit to work and only drink water at work. I was 18 stone at the end of my pregnancy I am on a lot of ant depressant and anti psychotic that made me put on 7 stone in 2 years

I was tiny at school and got bigger (size 14) when I was about 14 and just got bigger and bigger was a size 18 on my wedding day in may 2011 and am a size 26-28 now

xxxx

 

[jessicasmum]

I'm same height as you
I'm size 20-22 now. I've spent all my 20s being over weight and I turn 30 in may so don't want my 30s to be the same.
Oh anti depressants etc are awful for weight gain I think its been partly the same with mine too.

 

[jessicasmum]

Weighed myself and I can't believe it I've put back on all 11 pounds that I'd lost, so not just a wasted week last week the whole 3 weeks have been a waste because I'm back to square one there is no way now that I'm going to reach my target weight by September.

 

[topsy]

Awww hun YOU can soon loose that weight ( and more) again I know you can I believe in you.

I am a size 26-28 cant wait till I am your size and can wear supermarket clothes Bought some bits from asda the other day in a size 24 but they are to small and look awful on BUT hopefully I will get there soon.

ha we are the same height

Anti depressant are horrible for weight gain BUT i cant do without them

Hows your day been today?

Could you start a weight loss diary hun and post your food0I do to make me accountable for what i eat xxxx

 

[hello_kitty]

Hi ladies,

So much has been going on lately. Been busy with school also introduced eggs to Jayden for the very first time on Saturday and he had a severe allergic reactions. He is fine now and was discharged on Sunday but we were sent home with an epipen. No more eggs til he is at least 1.5 years.

Heather, if it makes you feel any better I have also gained back some weight. I think I am 222 now but wont update it til Saturday. I need to get on it because we will be leaving for Canada in 2 months.

Also I am pretty certain we wont be ttc until next year seeing how much dh wants to visit his family next January. Oh well, I will just enjoy my 2 guys for now.

 

[topsy]

Oh hun that sounds so scary poor you and LO HUGS

Sorry you wont be ttc until next year hun but enjoy your planned trips. Canada I am jealous

I've had bad news from the consultant appointment yesterday, the CT scan has shown that pseudomyxoma peritonei (that spreads mucous) is showing in one of my ovaries, so I'm being referred to a specialist hospital in Manchester called Christies (which is a cancer hospital), there is only 2 specialist hospitals in the country so I'm lucky I'm about half an hour away. So the consultant said I will have my ovary removed and have chemotherapy (its not Like normal chemo but need to find out more).
So I'm worried that when I see the specialists they might say to have both my ovaries removed and my uterus so having a 3rd baby might be taken out of my hands but my main concerns is for my health and ste and my girls.
I'm emotionally all over the place at the moment because this is serious and I'm scared it won't be cured or start in other areas which would mean having a lot of other things surgically removed, this can kill people so I'm very scared for my future right now.
