Monday 15th October weigh in.

Its quiet here today, hope that's not a bad sign. I would be over the moon if I got another two pounds off tomorrow making 9lbs in three weeks, but that might be a little optimistic.

Good luck for tomorrow glass
I am over the moon as I weighed in yesterday at 156lbs exactly - a loss of 3.2lbs at long last! I was beginning to get fed up with being stuck again (patience never was in my weight-loss dictionary!).
I am hoping to keep that off this week as I often find that if I lose a significant amount it seems to be short-lived and some of the total goes back on - almost as if it was a mistake? Fingers, toes, knees and eyebrows crossed!
Good luck everyone

I seem to be beyond help; eating bread again as well . Very tired afer leaving work but, although I'm on my feet all day not really using up calories..then get home and too tired to go for a walk. Have never before been so out of control of my weight. I know the calorific value of just about everything; know most diets inside out but the will isn't there. Very annoyed with myself!

crimson I know ^exactly* how you feel. I have always been the sensible one who knew all about dieting, calories, exercising etc.
Now, I just can't get myself motivated at all.
There just doesn't seem to be any point any more.

I wonder if it's because I don't have holidays abroad any more; it was always an incentive to get into shape [and I used to do loads of walking when I was away; my joints don't hurt when I'm somewhere hot]. I don't eat unhealthily either. Can't remember the last time I ate chocolate; in fact a meal for me often consists of a bowl of porridge, and that can be at dinnertime or in the evening. Definately something up with the metabolism, combined with not getting anywhere near the exercise I used to.

crimson are you eating enough? You have to stoke the boiler to kick start your metabolism.

Too much cheese, I'm afraid. And, tried to take the dog for a walk this evening [the S.O. gives her a good walk when I'm at work] but didn't get more than a few yards down the road before my knee started hurting. I swear that my body just needs heat; two weeks on a hot beach and I'd feel ten years younger. Going to slap the voltarol on before I go to bed!

crimson I think you need to tell SO that you need a holiday on medical terms somewhere hot but cheese can sabotage weight loss unless you only have a piece the size of a match box.

I can eat it by the pound! It's getting time off work that's the main problem. Every Wednesday [my day off] I plan to go to a gym, but something crops up each time.

I've stayed the same this week, that's about 4 or 5 weeks running now. I'm not really doing anything very wrong.....but I know I'm not doing enough of the things that are very right! I start each week with fresh resolve though

Great news about your loss Sbagran!

sba I am so sorry I thought I had replied to your fantastic loss, but I must not have posted it, see it was just hiding and waiting to surprise you. I think I have lost my marbles good start for the pot

notso You can do it, just think what you have done already and if you still want to go on focus on the end result, not far to go

Challenge total to date 19.2lb

Will weigh in on Thursday, as I will be at my daughter's house tomorrow. Had a celebratory weekend with cake, for birthdays of DH and DGD , not sure there will be a spectacular weight loss this week.W

13.7 today. But fasted all day yesterday as vomiting. Still feel a little queasy today so am sticking to water today!

jeni I hope you are feeling a little better, thats 3lbs you have lost, do you think I dare add it to the total or do you think its all the fluid you have lost?

This weeks total 6.2lbs

Challenge total 22.2lbs

I have claimed it jeni we will deal with next week when it comes well done.

Jeni Glass and sba Well done all of you, the other, well hard going but keep trying you will get there.

Sorry crimson I have only gone onto GN from my holiday in the sun to tell you that on the first day here I weighed myself and found out just what a lot I had put on before coming away but I had been inundated with visitors. I have now lost that and am back where I was 2 weeks ago but I make no promises as the food here is so good and so very tempting! I have fruit and yogurt for breakfast, skip lunch and DH brings me some fruit then in the evening we have cocktails before dinner, wine with dinner and then brandy afterwards and that is without the lovely dinners! After 4 weeks of this I could be a lost cause!

Crimson do come here it is lovely and hot!

.......I'm packing now! Just going to reach up and grab a passing plane from East Midlands Airport in a Mary Poppins sort of way. Do I turn left at Calais?

Where are you?

Am very happy with maintaining my present weight , so , as I have said before , I am not going to be much help to you on a cumulative basis , but it is heaven not yoyoing up and down . MFP is really my favoutite discovery in a long time.
