WOW, Theresa, that is brilliant what are you doing ???? well done... I am going to see the nurse this week, its about 5 weeks since I started the programme, I have written down every thing I have eaten, no cheats ,and I have to say I dont think I have lost anything, my clothes are fitting just the same..... so I will see what she says...but I am eating very well and feeling more energetic, which for me is a big bonus.....I am able to walk much easier, so I suppose thats what we were hoping for. but I would like to be able to get in clothes I bought last year. I think there is too many calories for me ........fed up......

Well done Theresa,Marilyn and Tina~j,the pounds are coming off!
Don't give up,Jean,keep at it!

I've lost about 3 kgs. since I started-gone a bit slack this last week because of the bushfires though.It's all very depressing ..It's been so hot,and there's a constant smell of smoke in the air,for days,it makes you feel very uneasy if you think about it. Like many others here in Vic. I've spent a lot of time crying hearing all the stories on the news,but I have to move on.
I must try to be more cheerful,there are a lot of positive things coming out of these dreadful fires.Victorians have really banded together to help complete strangers who have lost everything,
and the community spirit has been strengthened in many places which have been completely decimated .It's not all gloom and doom!!


I gained .1 of a kilo because I didn't exercise very much.I will have to do better next week,and be a bit more disciplined.I want to lose 1 kilo next week!

Where is everyone?????

How are you all going????

Good luck for the rest of the week,don't give up,keep trying.

Best wishes, Margot xx.

Hello everyone - we have gone quiet haven't we?

I didn't manage to sign in last week as I was falling prey to one of those horrible cold bugs doing the rounds, so was busy feeling sorry for myself instead.

I lost 0.5lb (snap Tinky!) that week and was a little disappointed, but this week I have lost 2.5lb, so 3lb over the 2 weeks which I am happy with. Next week will be a shock to the system as I will have to go back to my Discoburn workout - the children are on half term so I haven't been able to go to.

Well done Tinky and Teresa - keep those lbs coming off. Marilyn Margot & Jean - keep up your good work - it will happen - I know how you feel as I get really down too when the scales don't move.

Good luck for next week everyone

Hi, all, my visit to the nurse was just as I thought only 2lbs in 5 weeks, but she is really pleased with my efforts, my main reason was the awful tiredness I was having quite a worry, now it seems I wasnt eating enough or a balanced meal, so now I am able to report the change is quite dramatic, compared to how I was before, I am still looking to lose some weight, need to get the portions right, stop guessing, at my age the weight doesnt move as quickly as when I was younger,still on with the challenge.
Hope you are feeling better Tina........

ive lost 2 pound this week i think it was cos my oh has been in hospital for a gastric bypass operation so i am gonna really struggle to lose the weight and watch my oh lost all his weight arrrrrrgggggghhhhhhhh lol

Thanks Jean
I am feeling much better - I am really well, but have this irritating lingering cough left. Your visit to the nurse sounds like a success - it is easier to feel positive when you are feeling well.
Good luck

Well done Tinky
I hope it all goes well for your OH. My exercise buddy had a gastic band fitted in September and although it means she is losing weight much faster than me it is still helping me too. We don't go out for coffee & cakes anymore (more likely to go out for soup lol) and it keeps me focussed - I can't afford a bad week!! So I sort of got some of the benefit without the surgery - that suits me cos I wouldn't be brave enough to have an op!!
Hope it works for you to

thanx tina

my oh had the op last thursday and came home sunday and all he is eating are about 3 or 4 spoonful at a time though when i went food shopping i went and bought jars of baby food lol cos he isnt allowed to eat any solid stuff for next 3 or 4 weeks lol

My friend had to do no solids for the week before and the week after her op. She got by with a misxture of homemade (liquidised) soups and slimfast milkshakes. It did the job but she was so sick of them by the end of 2 weeks!

my oh did the liver reducing diet in the run up of the op and he had to eat extra nothing and the poor thing was starving lol

Tinky mailed you

Jean x

Not been on my change of diet long,just 2 weeks
But have lost 5 lb
So feelng quite pleased

Great to hear from you all.

Tinky-well done,keep trying,hope your OH recovers well from his op.

Tina~j,-stay focused,hope your cough gets better.

Jean,-well done-keep eating enough healthy ,nutritious foods and your energy levels will be great.It's true that it IS harder to lose weight as you get older (ain't that the truth!! ) but you CAN do it!

MO-5lb in 2 weeks-WOW!!! Keep it up! I'm so glad you said "change of diet", that's quite right.We don't "go on a diet", we just watch what we eat,
and eat healthy,unprocessed foods as much as possible.Paul McKenna says that diets don't work,they're a con,and if we go on them we set ourselves up to fail.I agree.( I know I'm brainwashed,lol).

I'm back on track now,and looking forward to losing my next kilo.

Good luck everyone,and keep trying.

Margot.

Hello

Where is everyone - there was at least 17 of us ready to lose weight at the beginning of last month!?

I got weighed yesterday - stayed the same. Was pleased as we were in Disneyland Paris last week & had 2 Mcdonalds, 3 pizzas & 3 buffet breakfasts :-)

Hi Everyone - Penny
I won't be going anywhere. My friend and exercise buddy announced her engagement at the weekend. She is getting married in August and I am going to be a Bridesmaid, along with several other very slim friends. HELP - I have a huge incentive to keep going now - and to be honest could really do with a miracle!!
Lost 9lb in total so far - only 4 - 5 stone to go in 6 months - oh dear, that doesn't add up!!
Wish me luck!
Tina x

Penny-well done!

Tina~j-SNAP! I need a miracle,too.I'm going to the UK and Ireland for 1 month in May.I would like to be 70 kg when I go,which means losing 6.7 kg
in just over 2 months!! Never mind,we will just keep doing our best,and stay positive.I gained .1kg on Tues. but I think that was because of the Chinese banquet on Sat. night.I feel slimmer,my clothes are fitting better,
so I will not be giving up.Any weight I lose from now is a bonus.Good luck,Tina~j,and everyone else. Keep trying!!

Where is everyone???

How are you all going,OK I hope.

I lost .8kgs tonight,very pleased.Must do a bit more exercise though,I've been a bit slack. I have lost about 4 kgs. so far,since I started.

OMG-hope I haven't killed this thread.

Someone....Anyone....!!!! Where are you all????

Hello

Well I put on 1/2 lb this week but as it's my birthday I think I'm allowed :-)

I found out this morning my fingers are 2 sizes smaller now !! I found this out because yesterday whilst shopping my wedding ring flew off my finger - found a few frantic minutes later . So I went & get them measured today !!!
