Morning Ladies,

Im happy to say that I am back on track and lost 2.5lbs this week.

Its given me the push I needed to get back on track.

Tinky often when you have a big weight loss like you did the weight can stay the same the following week.
Keep with it and next week you will hopefully see a loss.

Tess I find that a smaller plate makes me eat less and still feel full up.
Good luck this week

Teresa

Please, Please can I join or am I to late! I have lost about 1 and a !/2 stone in the last few weeks as i have had a realy bad attack of swine flu and I now am fully recovered I hope, will know on Monday when I see the doctor. People are noticing that I have lost weight!!
I do not really fancy anything but thought that joining this cyber club might help me.I am going to look at the Harcombe club and see what that is all about.
I have two weddings as well, one in May and one in June, it would be wonderful to be somewhat slimmer by then!!

SpanishEyes of courswe you can join in more the merrier lol

thank you

I am going to print the harcombe diet and then try to get going. i am moving out of my rented flat in the next week and then going to stay wilth friends in Norfolk and wait for OH to come over from Spainn with the car andthen we will drive back home....So i must remain resolute about what I eat...OH will want to have at least one Indian Restaurant meal and there is a fantastic Chinese retsaurant directly opposite our friends house so I must be careful.....

I will let you know how I get on this week

good luck everyone

spanish eyes

that is my downfall where i live there is 5 take away at the end of our road ranging from the fish n chip shop to the indian, chinese tai u name it lol

well i jump on the scalls this morning and it dont look like iv lost eny think
so i must be the bigest losser as thay say on the TV program LOL

i think my main problem is not being very motoervated so iv desided this week i will start walking to work in stead of takeing the car

waliking will take about 20/30 minets so thinking that will do me good
its just that it is a boaring walk but it has to be done.

so better get my walking shose out the cuberd

tinky
just think of them taker ways as being invested with mice and rats and dont for get the roches

Today i went out and was just looking around a few shops which I haven't done for ages and saw some jeans and a top which I liked but they only had one pair and they were a size 18, well was I overjoyed when the fitted perfctly, in fact I have worn them since mid morning ad I have not had any discomfort!!
So since the 26th December I have dropped from a 22 to an 18 and i am not starving myself, in fact I am eating quite a lot of fruit, I had pasta and home made tomato sauce for lunch/ dinner and i had three ginger biscuits with a cup of tea. I am not hungry and have been drinking water because it is the only thing I have been having since the Swine flu and I have put Lemon or orrange slices with it.
I haven't weighed myself but people are commenrting.
because i leave my flat this weekend and will be going home some time next week I haven't done anything about the Harcombe diet but will do so when i am back in Spain
I watched a programme last nigh about "fresh fish" and was appaled to learn how long it can be frozen and still be called Fresh

Did anyone else see this,?? I love eating fish but this was rather concerning!

Hi Shelly,
Walking is a good form of exercise.
I used to walk a lot more when Son was at Primary School.
It was much easier to walk than spend the 20 minutes or so looking for a parking space by the School.

He has been at Comp now for the last 18 months and walks with his Friends, so I walk less.

Well done Spanish eyes, It does feel good when you drop sizes, I have a friend who never weighs but goes by the feel of her clothes.
If they get too tight she cuts back until they fit again. She is a size 12 though!

I didnt see the fish programme, but last week saw the Hugh Fernly Wittingstall Programmes about fish. It was shocking. You can follow it on line and there is a thread on General you may have followed.

evening all

teresa
my youngest is in year 9 so not done school run for some time now
one thing i nether done was to take the car to the school
well i couldent realy school is only 5 min walk
even if i was going shopping after i still would walk home to get the car
befor going out

i dont work every day so the walk to work its going to be from now on
unless it is raining

iv lost whight befor so im deteming to do it again

now that is a thought rita
i could get a skipping rope and skip in the back garden

Thank you Rita and Teresa, now the challenge is lose even more.
I had lunch out today with a former colleague and we had a pasta main course with chicken rather than red meat and the a small Creme brulett,
we were both very good as my friend was driving so she had Orange Juice and I had fizzy water.
I must say it was great to have an appetite back.
Because I am going home soon I have to sort out what I am taking with me and what I shall give to charity shops I have three skirts and two dresses which are now so large I could not possibly wear them so I found that a big boost.
I wonder what I will weigh in two weeks time. I have decided to only weigh myself fortnightly as I will become paranoid other wise!!
Keep up the good work everyone.

Your Lunch sounds nice Spanisheyes,

Its a good idea to get rid of the larger clothes, and help charities at the same time.
I weigh weekly at slimming club at the same time and in the same clothes.
I must confess I have a sneaky weigh at home as well!

I will start walking a bit more Shelly, I cant make the lack of a School run an excuse. Lol

Teresa

oops nearly forgot to reply to this i jumped on scales this morning and found i have lost 2 pound, ive lost 8 pound now since starting this thread yippppppeeeee lol

I'm not playing ....LOL


I have just put on 4lbs while on holiday...BOO HOO.

Oh dear - I did get off to a late start (I was meant to start when the children went back to school) but I have finally got going now. Lost 2lb last week - need to try and keep it going now.

Me and the girls went back to Zumba on Tuesday - we worked out that we have had 6 weeks off!! It was a combination of the bad weather, Christmas, New Year and then our instructor being off sick. Boy was it hard lol. I can't believe what a difference those 6 weeks have made! We were shattered when we got back to my friend's house after an hour long workout, but luckily I was ok the next day and still able to move. We had a great time though - I love the routines and the music. Must fit s few more classes in this week and maybe get back to doing some yoga.

Well done to all those sticking at it and good luck for next week. We'll all be glad we did it by summer.

has anyone tried alli? ive seen advertise on the tele and wondered if it was any good.

Tinkers
I was prescribed this(under another name ) by my Dr.
It does help if you are eating too much fat in your diet.
But idf you have really decreased the fats and now eat low fat products and milk etc then you will not have excess fats to be excreeted.
I won't go into details but basically it pushes fat through quicker so it is not absorbed and the effect is similar to a laxitive.

Linda

hi lin its not orlistat,is it if so ive had them from the doctor and asked for more but wont giv me any more so i thought bout savin up abit and buying but in 2 minds at the mintue

Tinkers Yes It is Orlistat. But I think the one you can buy isn't as strong either !!!

I'd stick with cutting down on the fats in your food.

Rather expensive and you would probably need to take it for a few months too
