JTBadBug Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 I think you are doing it the better way Ginger, I wish I could keep up with your exercise regime. I am skiing in 3.5 weeks time and I am just so so unfit and being back at work means it is dark when I leave I am trying to do some lunchtime walking though I am feeling fat now after just eaten dinner but it was all healthy and very low fat.Just in case anyone likes cheese spread, the weight watchers cheese spread triangles are lovely...well I think they are and are just half a point each (27 calories and low fat). I might join Weight watchers tomorrow...but...I have been saying the same thing every Tuesday for months now Oh well, happy eating and exercising healthily everyone Jane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerPeace Posted January 9, 2007 Report Share Posted January 9, 2007 i've lost 4 pounds so far...I haven't been able to do more exercise but my feeling toward food has changed. I'm being more intuitive towards what I feel like eating...I feel bloated just thinking of eating food I know doesn't really agree with me so I haven't been wanting it, thankfully that tends to be refined and fattening foods. I'm needing comfort foods and so far it's going well. Only a few stones to go!!I haven't cut out the caffiene yet but I have stopped the teaspoon of sugar together with my sweeteners and that helps.Drinking lots of water helps too...4 pints a day!

gingernut Posted January 10, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 10, 2007 Hello all,Today I jogged for 16 minutes and 30 minutes walk/jog in total. Not as good as before, tomorrow I may push myself and get it upto 20 minutes non-stop. I did nearly 2 and a half miles and burnt off 215 calories which still isnt enough considering the portion size I eat for dinner. I am snacking on raisins and drinking alot of water. Innerpeace dont you find it quite hard to drink that amount of water? 4 pounds is great, imagine what it will be when you feel fit enough to do some exericise minus the injuries.Jt you can join weight watchers online if you dont fancy attending all the meetings.I really need to sort out my diet as I think I am still eating way too much for the amount of exercise I do.Ginger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lloydy Posted January 11, 2007 Report Share Posted January 11, 2007 ginger well done with the exercise, please keep posting what you are doing as it is making me closer to starting something more energectic than dog wlking.i did play badmington on monday night which i really enjoyed.looking forard to sundays weigh in, i have NEARLY finished tht xmas chocs so i'll be glad when they are out of the way.iv'e changed my diet a bit, most nights i have a jacket potatoe with either tuna mayo or cottage cheese with fresh chillies, cucumber and onions. i find it really tasty.i picked this up from weight watchers a coiuple of years ago when i lost 2 stone. yes i've put that back on now, but IT'S COMING BACK OFF!!good luck everyone elselloydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBadBug Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Gosh, I am losing everything today GRrrrr!Good news about weight loss though, I have followed the weight watchers points system this week and I weighed in at 10 stone 9 pounds today (for non brits - that is 149 pounds)...that was pre breakfast. I am pleased at that as this was my weight prior to my holiday...2 weeks of no egg nog and cookies has removed that 5lbs that I gained in the US, mind you I have stopped eating a lot more than that. Anyway, this has inspired me...I am off for a walk in a minute :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
InnerPeace Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 My diet has taken a bit of a detour recently but I've lost 4lbs in total so far and pleased with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nuttymoo Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Keep at it you all sound like you are doing a good job. Losing weight is never easy and there will always be weeks when weight loss is not as good as we hope but keep at it. You are all doing fab, i wish i had the motivation at the minute to join you all, hopefully soon i will find the motivation needed to get this weight shifted. Well done to all you trying xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vicky Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 Can I join you lot? I'm having my mirt. dose reduced next month, so I wanna lose the weight I've put on!! A bit of moral support never hurts! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JTBadBug Posted January 14, 2007 Report Share Posted January 14, 2007 This is not an exclusive club Vicky...you and anyone else can join and leave whenever you would like. :-) Just post away :-) IP - 4lbs sounds good to me even if you have taken a small detour, at least it is moving. If I can lose an average of 1lb a week then I would reach my target weight in about 16 or 17 weeks...that would make me more than happy.Nutty, maybe this thread might help you find some motivation, I thought it would be good if we could total up each members weight loss for specific weeks and post the total BPDW weight lost each week. You are going through a difficult time at the moment though so, don't worry too much about your motivation, it will come when it is ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gingernut Posted January 15, 2007 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2007 I got really drunk this weekend, went away 4 pounds lighter, came back 5 and a half punds heavier. Altogether gained one and a half pounds due to drinking probably about 40 units of alcohol. I think that was a rough underestimation and Im drinking another 11 units so far tonight so yippee.Get another motivator as I am not stepping up until this life is sorted. I demote myself as not worthy.Good luck you guysGinger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JTBadBug Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well Done Lloydy...sorry I missed this post on Sunday. I got on the scales and well I was horrified...after losing the weight that I gained on holiday in 2 weeks, I weighed in on Sunday one pound heavier. I had eaten so well through the week I just could not understand it...well in good panicking fashion, I took a swift wee and that resolved the weight gain, so, feeling slightly happier, I stayed level in the end 10 stone 9 pounds, keep your fingers crossed for me this week as I am going to continue with my strict regime and hopefully I shall see the rewards that I expected on Sunday.

rebeccaborderline Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 Oh dear, thought i'd better 'fess up; im bucking the trend, have gained 3lbs in past 2 weeks. I know ive been overeating; combo of winter, booze, new meds and laziness has done for me! Definately eating more which not necessarily bad if i eat the right stuff like fruit and veg, which I havnt been doing.Will try harder, as cant afford not to fit into these new clothes I bought!Well done all those who are losing weight and exercising; me back on the straight and narrow tomorrowrebeccaborderline Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mewithoutYou Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 I would like to join in.I just got out of the hospital last week and before I went in I had lost 10 pounds in about a week on Cymbalta.And suprisingly I haven't gained any of it back.Although I do want to lose about 20 pounds more.I'm a vegetarian, so that tends to help.

lloydy Posted January 23, 2007 Report Share Posted January 23, 2007 hi metoyou, i was put on to cymbalta as an effort to stop the weight piling on and it worked but now i am also on olazapine which encourages wieght gain. still good diet and exercise and i hope to get the weight off slowly but surelygood lucklloydy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
