Moderate March

I'm still in a mess. Having trouble locking my front door at the moment; one minute it locks then it sticks. Then the S.O. who's in Northumberland at the moment, phoned this morning to say the dog was ill. Urine infection [but, given that she's getting old and has other problems, I'm thinking it could be the start of kidney failure]. Our Easter family holiday looks as if we might be building snowmen instead of sandcastles. And my lousy cold seems to be getting worse. I think the weight has started to creep back on.

Tegan - I hope things pick up soon for you. Sounds like you need comfort food not moderate March.

I don't usually touch alcohol; but I must admit to have been having a glug of whiskey in milk at nightime for the past couple of weeks ....

On board , I have lost 4lb so far this m9nth . I bought a crockpot and am making lots of soups and nourishing stews and am focussing on how health I will feel when I reach 14lb loss .

Panic over from previous page's post. I was 1 lb lighter this morning, can I lose my final 3 lbs before Easter Sunday?? But I'm still pot-bellied

I hope you are feeling ok Tegan. It's been a long cold winter, and I think we all need some sun for our health and well being.

I didn't get weighed last Thursday as my tummy was still playing up (bread). I've been trying SW recipes like quiche with no pastry etc. It's OK, just like a frittata really.

The good thing is I can suddenly feel a tiny bit thinner. My jeans and even a coat are looser on the bottom. Fingers crossed I get to first stone off this weigh day.

Cold bug has gone but the S.O. bought in a M&S lasagne followed by chocolate pudding today; hope to have a healthier day tomorrow......

Tegan2: Sounds delicious! Can't wait for Easter Day and my wine and chocolate!

It's been 61 days since I started and have stuck at the same weight for weeks - initially lost 8lbs but nothing else. I am very careful and don't eat between 6pm and 12 midday next day. The meals I eat are not excessive, having been a yo yo dieter all my life I know what to eat when dieting but now I am often hungry but keep going with the eating plan. How can I lose the last 3-4 lbs ?

Haven’t been there on for a while, but want to congratulate all those who’ve succeeded and commiserate with those who haven’t.

I’ve got to where I want to be (BMI 24.9) so thanks for the support and ideas. I won’t be starting an April thread but that’s always something others can do.

I’ll still pop into GN now and again.

Here’s wishing you all a very Happy Easter ? ? ?

It's difficult cutting back when the whole family are here; I'll get back on track next week when I go home....

Started properly on 11 March. By yesterday, Sunday 1 April, I had lost 6 1/2 lbs and 6 1/2 inches over bust, ribs, waist, hips and thighs. But one lb heavier this morning, Monday, thanks to 2 pieces of my birthday cake (very rich) and chocolate and a glass of bubbly. After this week I think I'll do the 5:2 diet rather than deprive myself all the time as I have been doing and feeling hungry. Quite pleased with myself but didn't shift my final 2 lbs. Still pot bellied!

PS: BMI 21.5, right in the middle of healthy weight.

Not getting any exercise and the family are cooking large meals each night. The S.O is getting a M&S curry for everyone tomorrow and we're eating out on Wednesday. If I eat the same as everyone else my weight goes through the roof. Need to get back home and start again....
