September's Schlankheitskur aka the 7 pound club

Bronnie

huston...I honestly don't think you can help those pmt eat-eat-eat days, so don't beat yourself up, there are times when you just have to go with the flow!

I am moving past the worst of those now (51!!), although they do still happen, albeit occasionally (and I would never have described myself as a PMT sufferer but did have the almost uncontrollable physical need for carbs) but I can remember how I felt and I can remember the few days after, when calm and order was resumed, realising how uncontrollable the urge for consuming carbs at that time had been!

In later years, I have come to the conclusion, as you are finding, that that manic period was balanced by a calmer more controlled few days after and all in all there is probably a calorie equilibrium. If you can keep some exercise going throughout, I'm sure this is of positive benefit.

I saw 10st 10lbs over the weekend after my 10st 7lbs earlier in the week. Grrrr! this last bit of fat is being tenacious.:mad:

Ignoring my own advice about only weighing yourself once a week and looking for a trend across a month I did another weigh in last night :rotfl:
10st 5lbs :eek:
Somehow 5lbs lighter than the weekend weight. I think it could be less fluids in my system last night compared to the weekend .... or may be there is an invisible fairy lifting me up and carrying a few lbs of weight :rotfl:
Bottom line it the usual downward trend seems to have continued with some bumps on the way.
When I get to 10st 3lb and I really will have to stop. I think October will be all about triming the last 1-2lbs and learning to maintain weight.
What surprises me most about the last 8 months is the really rather substantial amount of food you can eat and still keep calorie in take in check if you pick what you eat carefully.
Monday night I had an absolute mountain of food on my plate and felt quite full.
Small amount of pork steak, a couple of small potatoes and the rest was cauliflower (horray for cauliflower:D), cabbage, carrot, little bit of brocolli, a corn on the cob and a bit of gravy.

Have you moved the position of the scales

Feeling really good today I had a great walk, a different route, and it was a bit more demanding, something to think about. At the end though we bumped into a string of racehorses, so I got my heart rate up trying to get my dogs on leads before to much havoc was caused.

Also, has anone noticed the corelation between a little extra sleep and weightloss? I slept brillinatly last night and woke up feeling full off oomph, where as last week my routine was a bit disturbed. What I notice is that for me the etra time helps, but a lot more so if its via an early night, not a later morning, which leaves me sluggish, lay and heavy feeling.

I read somewhere that being tired and / or stressed affects body chemistry and makes it harder to loose weight / fat.
Also I remember reading this in the past:

Hi all!
DRAGON - in answer to your question, I take my 10 yr old DD with me and OH looks after DS, so that i can have some mother/daughter time with her that is fun and just the two of us!

Well done all of you that have lost this week - that's fab!!

Have'nt done so well this week i feel, it was my birthday on tuesday (43 :eek:) and had burger and chips as a treat, but instead of my usual handful of chip's I ate nearly the whole bag! AND a Danish pastry for pud! And believe me I have suffered for being a piggy! All yesterday i felt so bad, wasn't actually sick, but had such a bad tum and pain in the back all because I ate too much! (fried food doesn't agree with me since i've been on a diet ), I should know better really.

Anyway, Not sure that i'm gonna weigh in as usual 2moro, but i probably will, was thinking of leaving it until wednesday next week as it's the end of the month and see if i can try and lose something! Oh well i'll see how i feel in the morning...hope that i'm not cheating!

I've lost 3 and a half pounds this week so my grand total for the month is about 11 and a half pounds :j

I'm actually starting to feel the difference a bit now which is fun I'm back in trousers that haven't fitted for quite a while!

Blimey alex, how did you manage that!!! Im on only 1200 calories but cant manage any more than about 1lb a week.
