Did really good yesterday... had fries and steak wrap for lunch... didn't finish the steak wrap. Dinner... small piece of steak from day before and salad for dinner.

I am still feeling a bit sick but so much better than other days... today is my weigh in day... will let you know how i get on later when i come back.

I've been doing really sh*tty - no other way to put it. I don't know what is wrong with me, I've just been really, really low.

Went for a 3 mile walk this morning and feel much better. I have to hold on to that feeling and remember if I do that everyday, everything else tends to fall into place.

1-2 pounds a week is considered to be a healthy, lasting way to take weight off. I think you should be really proud of yourself. I think it's brilliant.

I have lost 2lbs this week

... that is a total of 7 in the last 3 weeks. I am so thrilled. I am on my way to losing 15 lbs by the end of Nov. I only need 12 more lbs, I am not counting the 3 from before last week.

I really want to start exercising tomorrow... i am going to walk part way to work for 20 min 3x a week and then doing an exercise video 2 times a week. I would also like to go swimming once a week for an hour but I am not sure because of female problems if I can swim.

What is everybody else doing for their exercise and how much? I never know how much to do.

CONGRATULATIONS!!!!!! You should think that at least you didn't put anything on. 2lbs is normal for the week.

CONGRATS GROWING!!! So proud of you!!

I know how it sucks to only lose 2lbs, but it's very realistic. It might be a long journey but it's not like the weight got their overnight eithr you know. Be patient and steady. It's already lookin' good for you. Just keep telling yourself "that's 2 more lbs I'll never weigh again"...etc

I am equally as frustrated as you because I don't have as much to lose (about 30lbs) and so it's coming off really slow...

 

[glam8babe]

well the past few days have been pretty f*cked up for me
im sure some of you have read my post about the boyfriend drama etc. so it hasnt even been on my mind to eat, ive ate a meal here and there, and snacks but today i just had a pastie (i started a new job and ive just got home) ive tried to eat some shortbread biscuits and i feel stuffed

i'll have to have a big breakfast in the morning

i havent even done my workout for like 2 days

 

[missy29]

I'd like to join this..
I have been on a "diet" for 6 weeks and I started off ok.. I lost 2kg, but now I have nearly put it all back on even though I havent been eating badly. I'm at my wits end!

Last week I was sooo good and I put on 400g. Not happy. I wanted to lose 10kg by end of September but its not going to happen.

So Im hoping for a bit of support here so I can at least motivate myself to try to lose a bit more. only issue is my medication makes it very difficult for me to lose weight. Grrrrr.

 

[rbella]

Yay Mel and Growing!!!!!!!!!!! That is so awesome!! That is such a great, healthy rate to lose weight at. In no time, you'll be right where you want to be!!!

I forgot to check in yesterday. I'm still on plan, still no DP's, still in my points, but I still can't workout b/c of my ear. I think I will still use weight this week, if not, at least I've changed some habits!!

Take care and I hope you are all doing well!!!

 

[melliquor]

Becky - Don't worry about doing rubbish for a few days... i had that last week and still lost. Just try to make up for it in the next few days.

Rbella - Congrats on another day of no DPs...that is brilliant.

Missy29 - Welcome to the group.

I have done really good today and i feel good. I am not eating lots of crap like I have been. I had a bacon butty for brekkie but had one that was low in points, 4 pts... and lunch... had leftover pizza, 1 slice, and a salad... and for a snack quavers and ww yogurt. I have only had 11 pts today and still have alot left for dinner.

I hope everybody is doing well.

 

[Willa]

I'm doing good
But yesterday it wasnt that good.
We're having troubles at home with the water pipe leak
So it's still very stressfull and I wanted to eat the whole planet last night

I'm having a pasta salad for lunch, with Melba crackers, and some carrots

Have a nice day everyone

 

[TISH1124]

I am trying to get back on track today...I'm having my monthly visit from Horrible Aunt Flow

and it makes me want to eat everything that doesn't eat me first!!! UGGGHHH I am bloated and miserable....

Great Job for all you ladies that have been doing so well!! Hopefully I will be back in the swing of things by today or tomorrow at least!

 

[melliquor]

Did anybody ever do a list of the members that wanted to join and keep track of the losses. I think Skylar was going to do it but it was never mentioned. I don't mind keeping track.

Rbella - did you want to keep track of everybody?

Did my exercise today... 30 min video and 15 min of walking... so bloody tired now. Will be having for dinner... pasta w/ broccoli and chicken.

 

[rbella]

Mel-If you can, that would be great. I haven't done it yet, either and honestly, I feel too crappy to do it right now. I know that is a shitty excuse, but I can only come on here for little bits of time. If you can't, don't worry about it and I'll try to do so when my ear gets better.

You're so sweet. Sounds like a lot of us are letting stress get the better of us. Please remember that stress does not = needing to eat. It is just a kneejerk reaction we have that we think will make us feel better, but does it really? Or, does it just add more stress to you because now you feel worse about yourself? Let's all try to think about whether or not we are really hungry before we eat and focus on what our body is telling us, not our minds.

We can do this!! Good luck ladies!!

 

[Willa]

rbella, just like you said, stress can be a pain in the ***
For me, it is.
Last night I really wanted to eat everything we have back home, but my man helped me, and also I had a though (sp?) for this group, and it helped too.

Stress is not a reason to eat, but is a big trigger to me

 

[rbella]

Me, too. Sometimes I'll want to eat and I'll think, "Oh, crap. I don't want to admit it in the thread". Isn't that funny. At least it helps!

Hahaha
I do that too!
Last time I was like : Am I the biggest geek in the history to think that my friends online will not be happy to know that I wanna eat the whole sugar pie?

The good thing is : I didnt eat it, and I don't care if people think I'm a geek

 

[rbella]

Me, too! My husband always says "If you eat that you'll have to report it to your friends on Specktra and if you don't I'll log in for you and write it myself!!" That is his way of keeping me on track. I asked for his support and BOY did I get it!!!

I don't care if people think I'm a geek, either. If it works, it works. PM me if you need to talk about the plumbing issues. I'm so sorry that is still happening to you. {{{Hugs}}}
