Lose weight 5

cheekymole

Cotsvale, please don't be disheartened I know exactly waht you are going through. I severely damaged my back 12 years ago now and all I could do was sit and look at 4 walls. I was a very depressed 24 year old who is extremely independent and hates it when she has to rely on other people for help. One morning I woke up and thought I had to do something. I decided that being on antidepressants and arguing with my very supportive OH was not what I wanted. That's where my life changed.
I am on several painkillers daily but I can now cope with it and I try to let nothing get in my way. I look at others with cancer and life threatening conditions and think how lucky I am to just have pain. I find out on Monday that I now have arthritis in my neck but again, it's just paijn and my body WILL cope with it. So I do know how you feel and you can come out the other side. I'm far too stubborn to let things get the better of me!!!!

Anyway, just to prove it, I lost 2 lbs this week, got slimmer of the week for the 4th time in 8 weeks, got my Club 10 award and my silver body magic award.
How chuffed am I? Well I didn't come out with a red face!!!!!

However, I would just love to do SW. I'm afraid I don't have the will-power to do it on my own and I do enjoy the support of a class. How pathetic is that? I am not a very strong person and I get fed up with myself when I see all the self-confident people on here.

Aw well, I think what I was suggesting was going to the Scottish Slimmers classes, but getting extra support from us lot, pinching SW recipes etc. I don't know how different SS is from anything else of course.

But we all have our own way of doing things. And no-one's pathetic because they want face to face support with something. More likely I'm the pathetic one because I SAY I want to lose weight, but not enough to get to a class. Or go to the gym. Or lay off the chocolate. Mind you I am better with the chocolate. Usually. There's a big bar in the cupboard waiting for DH and I to watch tv together, probably last a long while!

And all of us, self-confident? Not sure about that. Mind you maybe we should all add something to our sigs:

Make way for the Losers from the Lose Weight Thread.

(But not as much way as you used to have to make.)

Well done Cheekymole!

Quick check in from my holidays, good to hear all the positive stuff well done to all, I know I am putting on weight here but the food is amazing and the wine is even better.

In my defence I am using my SW tips to keep the damage to a minimum, lots of undressesd salads with my steaks and fish, biggest problem is breakfast, they serve lovely crusty toast with the scrambled eggs and I can't resist it LOL.

Keep up the good work and make up for me being a bit naughty!

Hi nearlyrich,

Hope you're having a fab time over there in NZ. Very good of you to drop in. I'm looking forward to hearing all about NZ when you get back.
Enjoy the rest of it.
Take care

2.5 lbs off this week! Yay!

I'm glad it's going in the right direction and i'm still doing really good with the food - trying lots of SW recipes and my body definately doesn't think it's on a diet (and i think my energy level is on the way up!), but a little part inside of me can't help feeling disappointed. Last time i did SW properly it generally came off alot quicker (though i didn't reach my PAT or keep it off for very long due to pressures in my life). I keep telling myself that 2.5lbs is great but a little voice inside of me says 'yes, well, that other in girl in your class lost twice that in one week!'.

Why can't i be happy with what i'm managing? Hopefully when i reach a stone, or other significant milestone, then i'll feel more content.

well done on this week's losses! Good luck all.

Well done JenI, 2.5lbs is great. As you said you lost it a lot quicker last time and you put it back on so hopefully by losing more gradually you will keep it off. I felt like that my 1st and 2nd week. I thought I'd lsot a significant amount but only did 1lb in my first week, I was devastated but vowed to continue and glad I did. I've just put on apair of jeans this morning which haven't fit me for a year and now they're too loose!!!!
So keep with it girl and be happy!
