Oh yes, keep us posted Dolly

I have to make an apptmt to see my doc, he wanted to check my bp after a couple of months and my weight loss lol As he didn't weigh me to start with I think that's a bit daft but seem to be losing a little bit, around 3 -5 lbs over the last ten weeks.

O.h. checked my bp last evening and it was almost the same as when he last checked it in March lol

Morning Barbra,

I have been fine thank you. How are you?

I went to WW yesterday, very informative and loads of useful information. A lovely lady caled Bev runs it now and was very helpful in explaining everything, I came away feeling so much more positive than I have before.
I will see how the weight loss goes over the next 3 months. I'll check in here and let you all know how its going :-)

Many thanks to you all for helping me.

I start with Weight watchers on wednesday, its a 12 week course done through 'Why Weight' i was refered by my GP to them. If I do well in that 12 weeks they may take me on for another 12 weeks, so hopefully I'd have lost a good amount of weight in that time.
I can't wait for wednesday, I feel pretty good about getting started :-)

Well done Huia, and Dolly too with getting your rowing machine. I am back down to the weight I was before I went away at the weekend so will keep trying to eat a bit less and see what the doc says when I go to see him. I haven't had my bp taken for weeks, must ask o.h. to get his machine out and do it for me but not after I have tried to book our holiday, cos that will have really stressed me out lol

I feel so righteous when I turn away from the reduced price chocolate croissants - a year or so ago I would have snapped them up and enjoyed them, now I don't buy them even if they are really cheap.
I buy cheap fruit and nut chocolate from the supermarket and as it's a bit sickly I can't eat as much as I would of my favourite chocolate so that helps limit my intake. I have also finished the big box of chocs o.h. bought me for Easter so no more temptation there till my birthday chocs lol

Puss, I only do what I feel like doing and won't push myself too far, it's not worth it to feel really bad the next day. I won't drive and will cancel apptmts if I don't feel up to driving - I find the poor sleep with fm as bad as the pain.

Keep up the good work folks,
Lizx

Years ago I had a neighbour who joined weightwatchers. She always seemed to have put on weight when they had the weigh in, so she gave up.

Huia, who was 700 gms (about 1 & half pounds) lighter this morning than yesterday, yippee.

Hi Dolly

Good luck with joining WWatchers. I joined them on 26th Feb this year and have lost 26lb in 13 weeks - still got a long way to go but am loving the plan. I have been a yoyo dieter for most of my adult life but I really do think that this will work.

I am an online member (so don't go to a class) - it is well worth joining in on line - there is a lovely, friendly and very supportive community there who help keep you on track between meetings. There are lots of inspirational blogs to read which help your motivation too.

Hope it works for you

Tina x :-)

Hi all :-)

I've been out today and bought a rowing machine, I had one years ago and loved it. I am hoping this will strengthen my back and legs as well as my arms, my back has become very weak over the last couple of years, I have had a go on the rower, its great, I'm not going to over do it, I've had it on the easiest setting
Also had a letter through from 'Why Weight' with all the vouchers for WWatchers, I start on June 1st, next Wednesday.
