Monday 15th October weigh in.

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.

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

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 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 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!

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

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.
