Well after a good start to Thursday with a 2.2kg loss bringing my total up to 27.2kg (and ALMOST the halfway point!!) by lunch time I was in agony. A few years back I had trouble with 2 buldging discs in my back, well they're giving me hell again.
I had been babysitting and had to ring my friend in tears to pick her daughter up as I couldn't lift her, and also had to ring my mother in law to come to my rescue. I was a blubbering mess! Friday I went off to the doctor, he confirmed the buldging disc and that it's putting pressure on a nerve which is sending the pain down my leg. Anti inflammatories, pain killers and stretches to do .. the joys!
I spent Friday eating, although I did do some damage, only 8 points over is not too bad considering the mood I was in! Today has been like that too, at only midday I have 11 points left, and I am planning to save 4 .. so lunch is going to be 0point veg soup with maybe a tin of bean mix through it to make it filling, then a 4 or 5 point dinner to try and reduce yesterdays damage!
I still can barely walk (I know i'm whinging, i'm a terrible patient!) and had to get Sam to help me shower and dress this morning ... you know it's love when your man will happily dry off you legs and toes and put your knickers on for you!
Oh, also for the first time since starting WW I am actually ahead of mum in total loss!! by about 400grams, but still, it's the first time i've been ahead in our little competition! It's all in fun, but it certainly does provide good motivation!
We're also due for measurements again, last month saw the total loss as 100.5cm, so when my back is better we will do those again, and hopefully see some good results there too!
How are you all going? I'd love to see some comments from those of you following my blog ... I'm still amazed anyone is actually reading my ramblings!!

mini update
Good morning everyone!
Just a quick update as I am getting myself organised to go out for a belated birthday lunch with my parents, Fiance, best friend and her beautiful 4 1/2month old daughter.
I had a loss last week of 1.8kg (woohoo!!) making up for the previous weeks gain, even if I do attribute it to the change of clothing, it's still hard seeing the numbers go up!
My fiance Sam has started following the program with me and lost 1kg in his first week, despite have a 46, and a 50 point day when he is only meant to be on 29! So now I get twice the work of planning days, as I am planning his out as well, although I am getting him involved and giving him the occassional "points pop quiz" so he will learn for himself.
We've had a busy few days, Saturday night we had a BBQ at Nicoles (my best friend) which was lovely, she catered for my preferences wonderfully, it's always good going out to a friends when you know they understand what choices you like and accommodate them, it certainly took a lot of the stress off! Then yesterday we went to lunch with Sams mum out at Picton Brewery, I picked the best option on the menu, mind you it still came with 1/2kg of creamy mashed potato and a buttery sauce, I left majority of the mash behind and took off as much sauce as I could, I still thoroughly enjoyed it though. From lunch we went to visit Sams godmother who he last saw over 20 years ago at his fathers funeral, and before that it had only been when he was a very young boy. Of course this visit involved lots of italian pastries, and coffee, so I stuck to a couple of pieces of biscotti, very proud of myself for resisting the cream filled cannoli!!
So it continues today, to the local tavern for a belated birthday lunch as I said, as mum and dad were quite sick on my birthday and we missed out going out.
So that's where i'm at, when I get some free time I will continue building up the recipe page, but if you've not had a look at it yet I do have a few on there that I hope you like :)

New Recipe Added
Good afternoone everyone!
Hope you're enjoying a break in the miserable weather and enjoying the sunshine!
I just made a beautiful pumpkin and sweet potato soup and have added the recipe on my personal recipes page (linked at the top of this page)
It's had the tick of approval from Sam, which is always a good start!
We're having it with the WW herb and garlic ciabatta bread for lunch. YUMMO!!
