Thanks again to all who post what they eat as I find it so helpful.

Hi
Why is it I can put half a stone on in less than a week but can't lose it as quick. Feel like i'm banging my head against a brick wall.
Walked to and from work, 45 mins each way. Then went to town to see doc, had a blood test for rheumatoid arthritis and wanted the results as I'm so exhausted and aching. Result negative so that's good, he said I need to lose weight and for exercise to work need to get breathless and sweaty, sure they'll love me at work if I turn up like that. I will try and push myself on the way home. He also said I have a fatty liver - so the need to lose weight and exercise is even more pressing.
bfast cornflakes and strawberries
lunch watercress sarnie
diner hm tomato and veg soup, rocket and watercress salad
fruit apple pear and banana

Good news about the rheumatoid arthritis but not so good about the liver by the sounds of it though I don't actually know what it is. If diet and exercise is going to help though, it will give you more of an incentive. You've done well with what you've had to eat today.

Had a hot chocolate yesterday, unplanned, didn't see it coming, was taken unawares...... but it was nice.

Today.
Bfast - egg with veggie burger (got so bored of cereal)
Lunch - vegetable wrap with sour cream, plus peach yoghurt
Tea - Pasta bake with veggies and tuna
Snack - hmmm not anything planned but dare say something will come along just in time.

Exercise - plan to go for long walk this evening. If it rains it will be sit ups instead

"He also said I have a fatty liver - so the need to lose weight and exercise is even more pressing."
Hi procrastinator, did your doc talk to you about diet help / support? our local gym/swimming pool takes doctors referals free and a friend of mine got loads of help to lose weight last year, so might be worth asking.

Today:
B: cereal & milk
L: ham, cheese & coleslaw sandwich with can of drink
S: orange
stir fry veg & sauce
also meeting some friends so will have a drink or 2 tonight.

Hi everyone.

Procrastinator, I do agree. Your doc should be offering you some more support. Although it was funny, you need a better option than turning up at work sweaty.

Today:
B. Porridge
L. Tuna salad and melon
s. HM graze box
D. Fish and baked beans + diet yoghurt

Weekly weigh in day at work tomorrow. We are going to put 50p in the kitty if our weight stays the same & £1 if it goes up. The person that loses the most at the end of term (we are teachers) gets the kitty. What an incentive!! I would love to get some new clothes, so going to try hard.

Hello everyone - am a long time lurker/occasional poster on this thread and would really like to become a regular.
I am now officially now the heaviest I have ever been in my life - 14st 10lb and at 5` 5 1/2 " is not a good place to be. :eek:
I really need to lose at least 4 stone but know this isn`t going to happen overnight.
To make it happen I must:
1. Make use of my gym membership. Used to go 5 mornings a week before work with friends. This is now down to 1 or 2 mornings a week because I have to take my DGS to nursery and DD to work before starting my work. I work from home.
2. Calorie count - use a calorie counting website and find it very useful for working out what I am overeating and when.
3. Make time for myself. I feel sometimes that I am pulled in so many directions, I don`t know what to do first.

I am a very positive person normally but today I feel that everything is getting too much. Maybe it`s that after holiday feeling hitting me. Been back at work 2 weeks and feel as though I`ve not been away. Or it`s the weather and the fact it was getting dark at 8.20 pm last night. What did happen to summer?

Anyway - it`s time to start work now. Really must get a move on.

Look forward to getting to know you all. Have a good day everyone.
