Hi all,
Yesterday was a bit of a wipeout as I was slightly hungover from Friday night after work, 6 bottles of Becks are enough to destroy me these days So as a result I was craving carbs and grease....

Saturday:

B: 2 granary toast with butter

L: Small mozarella and tomato panini

Vegetable curry with 1/2 portion boiled rice, 1 small onion bhaji, 1/4 naan

S: Small piece of choc cheesecake which made me feel dreadful

Sunday:

B/L: Ciabatta with feta cheese, vine toms and pesto

Spinach and ricotta canelloni and salad

S: Nothing

Doing lots of cooking for the freezer today so should keep me busy

Well done floyd, taplady and newlywed on your weight losses. :j

Sorry to hear you have been unwell nw...it is an quick way to lose weight admittedly! Just take things easy for a while and concentrate on getting better first rather than losing weight - leave that for the New Year!

My first trip to hospital in March this year lasted 23 days and I managed to lose 19 pounds! I have not put them back on, but have gone on to lose a total of three stone so far since then, so it is possible (very little exercise for most of the past year)!

Oh my, 23 days :eek: So glad mine wasn't that long The nurses were lovely, and the other patients.... I just really wanted my bed, my bathroom and nice food

Well done on the continued weight loss. That's great. I never truly realised what it would be like to not be physically able to go out for a walk for weeks, never really understood what it was like at all - till now. Those first days after the op I felt like I needed a zimmer!! Now I'm itching to go for a walk when the sun shines, but I'm strong enough yet.

However, been feeling a little better and that means I've been eating more - so there was lots of biscuits and some cake yesterday. But my belly is feeling the extra food so back on track from tomorrow hopefully.

I did use a zimmer for a week or so...a bit odd, but it did get me moving...rather embarassing as I was probably one of the youngest in the ward!

I am still taking much shorter walks than I used to, but at least I can now cope with the uneven ground in the fields below us, rather than having to use the footpath by a busy road. My dad sent me some walking poles which help me a lot...perhaps I can get into the next field in the coming week. Our dog thinks it's great I can take her out while it is still day-light!

Right off to get some fresh air and tidy up the front garden a bit (but not too much ), it is lovely out there just now!

Still here. Struggling on. Making excuses!

I'm having a go at The Gabriel Method, not a diet but a way of changing how you eat things and what you eat alongside your other foods.

My problem is I have never liked fruit and veg much and it has started to affect my hair, ie I am losing too much which isn't good for a woman!

I have started eating salads and veg and still eat what I want as long as I eat the 'live' foods ie fruit, veg.

Google The Gabriel Method, there are quite a few vids on YouTube about it.

I haven't bought the book yet, will give it another week to see how things go and if I am still losing inches as I have done during the last couple of weeks I may buy it.
