Oh sod the diet, pass that bottle and I'm going to have a cheese and marmite sandwich to go with it. With lashings of lurpak (special offer co-op), bread (reduced to clear co-op) monterey jack cheese (special offer Netto) and - well, Marmite is never on offer so I'd better not have too much of that.

Hi All,
Gone down 2 lb this morning although I expect i will have gone up tomorow as had a late tea ( 9.30 as didnt finish work til 9) . I always think it makes a difference to my weight what time i eat tea.

I also ate a load of cheese at about 4pm... cheese wrapped in ham which was all i could find that wasn't carbs and I was really hungry.so that was probably about a million calories and even though i'm not exactly calarie counting - i know cheese is not a good plan!! I had minestrone soup again for lunch today and some fruit.
At 9.30 after tea I walked for 30 mins... with my mum - bless her. she said she;ll come with me again tomorrow which is great as i'm working a long day again tomorrow - 8am - 8.30pm.
i felt pretty down yesterday as i had sore arms when i got back from my walk as my arms are so fat that then had rubbed against my bra and i had two big stinging patches. Today I wore a long sleeved top so that there was no way they could rub , but even so I felt so stupid that I can't even walk without my arms rubbing!

I took 2l of water to work and had about 3/4 of it which is an improvement on the day before - 1 step at a time i guess.

WELCOME Wkdhoney I only found this thread and joined 2 days ago..I'm wanting to lose three stone by christmas but I accept that 2 woudl be a great achievement so am going to keep updating each day and am also going to try really hard to do some excersize ( walkign to start with) even though I hate it and think that working long hours is an excuse not to do anything!!! I have a lot more to lose than you - am currently just under 15 stone so am hoping if i get my behind in gear i might be able to lose quickly to start with.

Anyway... as I have only planned my meals up until today I'd better have a think about what I can eat tomorrow...

see you all tomorrow

ps.... cheese and onion crisps... I actually have a problem with crisps .. I literally can't have them in the house - its like an addiction - I think about them all the time until they are gone... favourites being cheese and onion discos,,,, squares... walkers, onion rings.....bacon frazzles... cheesy wotsits....

ahhh the seefood diet

Right folks, that's it, game on for me now.

I had THE most uncomfortable (in more ways than one) night ever. I felt a little off colour when I went to bed but fell asleep ok anyway. Woke up at 3am with pains in my chest and a heavy feeling left arm and funny fingers (and no, before you say it, no I wasn't lying on my arm). I had this really strong sense of 'seriousness'. Sounds daft typing that but I don't know how else to describe it, I just 'know' that wasn't your run off the mill indigestion etc.

I'm treating it as a wake up call. I couldn't get back to sleep for ages and when I did, I dreamt Alan Sugar was my pal and he was helping me get my cancelled insurance re-instated. Clearly my subconcious thought I needed it. :undecided My Mum died at 60 and my Dad at 66 so we don't have a strong blood line btw.

So, it's back low carbing for me. My eating is so out of control again that I genuinely don't believe I'd be able to do SW right now, as soon as I get within 6 feet of a carb I want to wallow in them like dogs wallow in fox poo. :rotfl:I'm at the stage of shaking (again!) when I need food so my blood sugar levels must be all over the shop (again!). I wish I had the guts to post what I weigh but I just can't (don't have visions of 20 + stone women on American shows, I'm not as bad as that (yet! But if I keep going the way I'm going........:o).

I think I need to go cold turkey otherwise it just wont work right now. Wish me luck.

Btw...if I pop my clogs with a heart attack any time soon......thanks for being my mates and listening to me moan my face off at regular intervals and being so supportive. You lot really are like friends to me you know. :beer: :kisses3:

Now, get your a$$es in gear and put the damned crisps down!

Morning everyone :wave:

So this is where most of you disappeared to from the low-carb thread then...

Aliasjo...your post made me both :eek: and :rotfl: (I hasten to add that the :rotfl:was at the dogs wallowing in fox poo comment, not how you were feeling in the night) Is it worth seeing a doctor about how you were feeling in the night just to be safe? I do like the thought of Alan Sugar as a friend though - Hmmm, Alan Sugar as a diet buddy...there's a thought...Confession time...I actually have a bit of a soft spot for Alan Sugar, the grizzly old bear he is

I'm still plodding along on the Buffy diet (Sort of low-carb, sort of low GI) People who haven't seen me for some time are really starting to notice a difference now which is nice. I've been plodding along since January, no idea how much I've lost because I don't do weigh-ins, but it's clearly still slowly disappearing as I keep having to buy new smaller clothes (reminds me, must get my backside in gear and put some of the old stuff on eBay)

Right, time to make myself look human (i.e. put some makeup on so I don't look like a corpse )

aliasojo

Lol Buffy, most of us were the black sheep of the low carb thread so we needed somewhere where we could be our (cheating) selves without being frowned upon. :rotfl:

. Can anyone point me in a good direction for one? Google finds loads of them, but having worked through the first 2 pages none seem to be simple enough for simple ol' me! Or any other ideas for tracking? At the moment I've written in my diary the amount I am now, and what I want to be at on every Friday from now on till I lose 2 stones - maybe that's enough but I don't think so.

Hello all!!

Eliza I have a pretty nifty spreadsheet I've made. It records in stone, and lbs. There is also a little section for inches and rewards as well. PM me your email address and I'll send it over.

Oh no Sunnyday! Chocolate cake sounds amazing! I've been having a bit of a baking week, I'm planning on giving home made things as presents so I've been practising. I've made baileys and white chocolate fudge (it was incredible had to take it too work so I didn't eat the whole thing my self!) and Christmas muffins. I did make a healthy batch of soup but there isn't any left now!

Hello NMS! 2 stone lighter would be great! Last year ws my first 'fat' Christmas so I don't want to repeat it. (I had to work in Dubai for 6 months last year with no kitchen so spent most of the time eating fast food and I still haven't managed to lose all the weight:eek:)

I've gone swimming again this morning but had a naughty glass of wine yesterday (but no dessert ) I'm looking forward to my Friday weigh in. I'm sure I've lost :A

Morning everyone

Ive just got weighed and stayed the same, no movement, which pretty much describes my activities as well!!!

I put my weight in my sig because everytime I post, I get a great big slap in the face, with it staring at me - oooh the shame!!!
It supposed to spur me on to reduce it, however, I have a bit of a mental blobk at the moment and nothing is happening. I will keep trying tho.

I must say, crisps aren't my downfall, I'm a chocoholic (and Roses being £5 per tin at the moment is NOT helping)

Must try harder!

Alias, that sounds serious. I really think you ought to go to the doctor - and maybe he will say that you need to lose weight too, which will add to your determination. Hugs.

I've got my final Alizonne appointment tomorrow - the one with the doctor where they do my Megdem reading to tell me exactly my resting metabolic rate so I know how many calories I can eat without putting on weight. I have a horrible feeling it's going to be REALLY low. My initial one was quite low and that was before I lost lots of weight. Sigh.

Weight wise I'm doing OK. Ish. I hit target in July, (10st1). Today I'm 10st2, so only a pound up. In that time I've been on a fortnight's holiday and my mum has died, so I've had the triggers there to really set me off - for me it's a huge personal milestone that I'm still at this weight. However, it has been really hard. I am constantly amazed (through counting calories) how few I can actually have per day to keep the weight low, and I won't deny that there have been old-style binge days followed by miserable beating-myself-up. It has become really clear, though, that exercise is key, particularly with such a low metabolic rate - it will both increase my RMR and also allow me to eat a little more each day. Just got to make sure I fit it in now.

Sending positive vibes to all those struggling at the moment.
