Hi Folks
as it is officially Monday I thought I could update my weigh in ........I know its a stupid time of the Morning but what else can you do when everyone else is asleep and they have been complaining about my night time wanderings.

I am now down another 2lb from my start weight ..so now weigh 16st 5lb


Any way this week has had its ups and downs ..........went back to the gym and got my friend a free 2 week pass so it was nice to have company. We both just stayed in the pool and I walked a few lengths ,while she swam , we then had a jaccussi/sauna and a sit in the steam room. Came home with lovely relaxed muscles and feeling really good.

Next day the sky fell in I had obviously over done the lengths ( that 'll teach me to walk 4 x 25m in an hour!)

Still at least I know this week to only walk 2 lengths! Oh how the mighty have fallen , it was not that long ago I was walking many miles when out & about with my job.


So despite all the hassle following the gym , I have been reasonably good and reduced the biscuits and the slices of toast with the tea .it is really hard given I am a comfort eater and a biscuit with a cup of tea seems just the normal thing to do .

Something seems to be working so I am really chuffed , will keep you informed next week of how things develop.


to the rest of you

Was going to give myself a wee reward every 7lbs any thought what I can do that doesn't include food.

Well done Lola...to loose weight even after you are out for a meal shows great committment!

Good luck this week ..remember we are doing this one day at a time ....or in my case one hour at a time as I am easily corrupted with

[FluppyPuffy]

Nice loss for both of you

all of you its so hard but you are all doing so well

[Iceskatemum]

Thanks folks really appreciate the comments , feel better even after loosing just the few pounds , no more bigger dress size !!!!
You're right Denys it is really hard , I have a really big sweet tooth and would not have dinner if I could have a crunchie bar instead, so trying not to eat sweet stuff is a killer especially as there has been a birthday in the house recently and so there is lots of sweet stuff about.


Heres to a new week .......

[Iceskatemum]

Well new week was a bit of a downer lots happening and stress levels up so it was plenty of cups of tea and a biscuit or two just because....the end result is no weight loss ..but at least I didn't put on any.

Onwards and downwards , have another week ahead of me and at least I know where I went wrong..BAN THE BICCIE!

[Iceskatemum]

Well the BAN THE BICCIE campaign obviously didn't work as I was a total emotional eater this week.

I've put on 2 lb so that will have to go before I started my downward journey again.

I guess its a bit like getting lost in a new part of the country , you have to find your way back to the road before you go forward on your journey.

here's hoping for a better week, on all counts, less pain, less problems = less food

[lolabolla]

Fibro fog...............forgot to weigh in last week doh!!!!!!

Anyway this week just the 1lb off.

God only knows how because I have been eating for England, I think it must be the change in the weather

Well done to everyone for trying their best this week.

Ban the biccie still not working although haven't put anything else on.

It is 7ish weeks until Xmas and I have been invited out for an Xmas dinner with friends from work. Given 99% of them haven't seen me for 6 months since coming off on S/L and starting on some of my weight gaining meds I totally refuse to go wearing a sack! Surley that must be a motivation for me especially as they are all about a size 8-10 ....one of my legs would be bigger than that!

Then again as OH kindly keeps saying ..you have bigger things to worry about at the moment sure don't I love you what ever weight you are? OH's you may not always lke them but ......they do have thier moments

Add it to the range FP I see Dragons Den again!

[Iceskatemum]

Given it is the beginning of the New Year I thought I should start this up again.

Haven't been really trying since I last updated the thread but by some miracle it appears that I am down to 16st 2lb !! about 8lb less than when I started.

I'm really pleased given all the sweet temptations there were around the house over Xmas, however I have noticed my eating habits have changed. I eat a reasonable breakfast but after that seem to live on cups of tea & toast with bananas & fruit. I can go a couple of days without eating an evening meaL.....it just seems too much effort & that's even when someone else cooks.

I have changed meds recently & was wondering if others have had the same experience when they have altered thier medication. I blame my initial weight gain on going on to Lyrica which seemed to turn me into an eating machine. sometimes I was munching on biscuits and didn't remember getting them out!!


Good luck to everyone out there who is wanting to make lifestyle changes in 2013!
