April's Alluring Anti-adipose Adherents

Valentina2

Hi everyone,
I had a queasy stomach over Easter so ate much less than normal. When I weighed in yesterday for the first time this month I´d lost 1.7lb so that´s a good start to April.
I bought a lovely pencil skirt this weekend that is just a bit too tight so I want to slim into it. I can do it up but can hardly breathe so my aim is for it to fit comfortably by May.
How was the wedding Tara747?
Have a good day everyone!

Ok - I signed up for this challenge in both January and February. In January I lost the grand total of 1lb . By February I had given up and have weighed myself today and found that I have gained a further 7 lbs. :mad:

I know what I need to do, get up of my !!!! and eat the right types of food but eating is almost a compulsion with me and I know that when I put the food in my mouth. It's like there is an angel and a devil on my shoulder, one saying stop and the other saying go on, have it, you know it will be delicious!

I don't comfort eat, I just love food and overeat. Why have one when there is a whole packet there?!

So shall I sign up again and hope that this thread will give me motivation?

I was really adherant until Easter monday when I had a hunger that seemed impossible to satisfy. In the cool light of today I can see it was a stress thing...but hey ho.

I'm actually finding the metformin is making things harder...I'm getting the shakes really badly at around lunch time...I hope that settles down soon!

Anyway, I felt I neded jazzing up and remotivating so I'm going to do ''the doctors diet'' for a fortnight....its not about following a fad, its about feeling motivated for me, and jazzing things up. and satisfying a grapefruit craving!! Also about trying to help my sugar levels. The only thing is its quite a lot of food, for me, anyway. And the larger meal is in the evening. But never mind, I'm giving it a go

Congrats to everyone who managed to stay on track over Easter. I'm sorry to say that I daren't weigh in as I have eaten no "real" food for 4 days, and also drunk my own weight in alcohol. Unfortunately the next month is somewhat socially heavy so I have to develop a coping strategy for that. I am determined that next weekend will not be so bad, I am going out on Saturday but not Friday, and I hope not to be as hungover this time. I am back on track now though, and going for a run tonight so hopefully next Saturday I'll see the scale go down.

Thanks

Its so hard for me to find these threads every time The titles are just TOO clever

Right, put me down. I started on a months worth of Weight to Go meal plans 5 days ago - lost nearly 3 lb since then Im now down from just under 15 stone to 12 stone 2 lbs - woo hoo. Another 18 lbs and thats it for me, optimum weight - just make sure I stay there this time, cant take another year of dieting.

BMI is now 28.2 - from 35. For all newbies, dont be too obsessed with the bmi calculators if I was on the line they say is best Id be a size 8 and looking like a skeleton. I know that because I was above that line 5 years ago and spent my life telling people I really wasnt ill. I know when I look healthy weight and its about 7 lbs more than the max weight the charts say.

:mad: Can't believe that i've sabotaged myself this weekend! I was sooo pleased that I managed to drop 1lb last week, so what did I go and do.....E A T far tooo much! Chippy friday nite (normal), saturday KFC () and sunday chinese (:embarasse) and today i've had a mcdonalds happy meal!!!!!!!!!! What IS going on?????
I am now dreading thursday's weigh in, got the kids at home and surrounded by chocolate, I think I need to be in a straight jacket so that I can't touch anything! :rotfl:

Anyway, back to work tonight, so while i'm hoovering, will have to do some 'moving' (as long as everyone has gone home -lol!)

Well done all you that have managed to stay away from the chocolate this weekend :grouphug: - i feel like i'm banging my head against the :wall:

Okay I'm back from being away and I am back tracking my food! So here's hoping for a good April all round.

Welcome to Marie2, newbeginning, Leothecat, macca, Purple roses, lizzie dripping and hethmar, well done to the losers and to those that have gained - Easter is out of the way now so all the tempting food should be gone and you can get back to it! Best of luck to us all (and I am now heading off to update the spreadsheet and the opening post!)

Day one of he doctor's diet is over for me.

FwIW, I have got through ALL the food, and weirdly, am really a little hungry (was stuffed after each meal though). I love, love, love grapefruit, so eating a grapefruit and a half is heaven for me, but I don't understand how I can eat so much and still be hungry: its more than I'd usually eat in volume.!

In anycase, I feel fine, I didn't have the horrible sugar shakes at lunch time, and its been nice having stuff I would never usually have midweek, like chicken. Sometimes ringing the changes is all you really need I think.
