[@FatLassStory]

Whoop well done Mandy that’s amazing x u cannot wait to see the trees ❤

[@AlmostaGreenAcre-zs5eu]

So glad that you were able to get balanced out with your weight. Good on you, yay 👏I know that alcohol can play a big increase in weight gain from back in the days when I used to diet, as well as holiday celebration treats, lol. Good luck in trying to do that in moderation 🥰

[@LighterMandy]

Thank you 🙏 I think that’s where I came unstuck last year was the alcohol is so calorific it’s unreal, so this year trying to not be so free with it. Hope you’re keeping well xx

Congratulations on your loss this week, Mandy! I am convinced the Sherlock and Sebastian are secret friends. Sebastian eats paper, toilet paper, plastic, etc. We really have to help an eye on him. Crazy kitties! Thank you so very much again for all you did to get me to 1000 subs! My fellow youtubers certainly got me there! Enjoy your Baileys! Much love to you! Big hugsxx ❤Roe

I am looking forward to Strictly tomorrow night. I have been expirementing make a Chilli Coconut Paste hmmm tasting it is not that fire but heck both Grumpy and me merrily coughing as Chilli Oil Smell from whole Chillie's seem to have gone thro the house. Tomorrow is week 49 for me if what will it be I fear a Maintain or a Gain this half stone is being pesky grrrr Pyewacket one of our cars was obsessed with Tinsel but never touched the Tree would just state at it her favourite my favourite treat Tunnocks Teacake....it came with free cat toy take wrapper iff ball up and throw and off that cat would go...I miss her...I miss all of them but she was special Have a great weekend 🥰💜x

[@LighterMandy]

Omg I love a tunnocks teacake and snowball, especially if you freeze the snowball it’s delicious 😋 I like a chilli 🌶️ but it has to be mild. How did you get on today ? Week 49 amazing 🤩 xxxx

[@hjcdormouse7337]

@LighterMandy Oh I have never frozen the Snowball part of a Tunnocks I must try.... It is well with a 5 SYN hit for me as I seldom have them now Pyewacket across the Rainbow Bridge and weird thing is during this last year I have found I am not that keen on Chocolate.... I never had a sweet tooth anyway have always been a savoury person especially Cheese😍 very appropriate for a Dormouse not that Dormice ever pictured with cheese usually berries 😂😂😂.... Oh how my head skips and rambles. Week 49 a blooming Maintain I set myself half stoned targets as so much to lose, and this half stone trying my patience somewhat.... I really wanted to hit it this, week as put in another wee target of hitting before my daughters Birthday on Friday but not to be... I would like it shifted by week 52 on 4th of January tho. I could just go oh bleep stop until after New Year but I have looked back on week and I have not done enough fluids or salt madness most folk told watch salt intake. I have to have huge amounts and 3 litres fluid daily as a minimum and I have missed out a fair few meals as morphine dose been higher this week and with that comes nausea. I have learned that to lose weight I have to eat sounds daft. All my life friend has said having Breakfast only not healthy other friend who is dietitian would tear hair out in frustration. I knew they were right but being mum, wife, running a house, full time carer to in laws, supporting my parents as well as working as a Ward Sister and Area Manager full time by time I got anytime my choice was grap a coffee to go and go walk the dogs to clear my head. Ergo today I have done weeks menus from what I call meals for future self.... Those extra portions popped in freezer so very little cooking or smell from cooking to set off nausea, and a 30 min alarm from 5am to midnight to get fluids in. I am grateful for a Maintain despite frustration. I am also so thankful for your support as I navigate this long weight loss ramble I am on. Hope you are all cosy for Strictly tonight.... I am trying to stop Grumpy drilling and hammering with little success yea far 😂😂😂💜🥰x

[@LighterMandy]

@@hjcdormouse7337 wow honestly you sound amazing like a superstar ⭐️ well done on your maintain and even bigger well done for keeping going, especially for this time of year it’s hard, and it’s sounds very very busy for you, thank you also for thanking me for support it means an awful lot, i never realised that starting a KZbin channel I’d meet and get to chat to beautiful people like you ❤️❤️ I cried my eyes out at strictly I really did xxxx

[@hjcdormouse7337]

@LighterMandy Mandy I am certainly nothing special. I have so struggled with becoming the the patient instead of the Nurse. I had a period of several years literally bed but moved to a more accessible home during Covid. Prior to Covid both sets of parents died and I am grateful they did not have to navigate Covid as they would not have coped. Several of my closest friends also died way to young so a lonely time you kinda of find out who true friends are for sure....this lastcyear has also brought death and such heartache. I have to live the best life I can for myself and those no longer here sometimes in wheelchair others with a walker and times back into bed. I am a determined Dormouse . This year I have found friends in this strange place of YT like yourself and it is wonderful you give me the help to carry on even tho I am doing this weight loss for no one else bar me....I am being g selfish for once all it is nice to pit my brain against these stubborn lbs and prove Health Professionals wrong in that with the right tools, support and bleep mindedness anything possible. Strictly last night was amazing anyone deserved to win. The Celebrities looked as good as Professionals. I sat with toasting my feet by log burner, Grumpy even stopped hammering and drilling to watch and Roo shredded his toy that dog. I think I now cry at opening a box of tissues but much sniffling from my side of room. Today been a rest day as this week regardless of pain and nausea I have to be on go 3 Hospital Appointments tomorrow, Vet Tues, must do Christmas Birthday stuff on Wednesday and Thursday to deliver for daughters Birthday on Friday. I did bath Roo tho....I was mi's told...Poodles do drop hair fine balls everywhere and bathing a 33kg mutt a soaking wet job but he is all trimmed and spruce for Vet on Tues...all of them want to keep him but daft mutt is all mine. Tq again Dormouse being squashed by a Roo 🥰💜x
