    Lost 3lb this week. It's lent now till Easter, can't give up chocolate as diabetics can't eat it, can't give up deserts, don't eat those, will have to find something to give up. Anyone else giving something up?

    Countrymusic fan it appears that I have given up Losing Weight!!:eek:
    Ive found your 3lbs this week!!:mad:

    Fred, if you could add my 3lb GAIN!!!:(

    Right enough is enough. Ive gained back the 4lbs that I lost in January (yes I admit, I'm a failure!!):(

    I've started a new diet plan and so far have managed to stick with it (but Im only on day 2;)). Its been the kick up the kaboose that I needed. Ive decided to confess my daily food intake and post it on here, so feel free to comment and if I slip up, you have my permission to kick my butt!!!!

    Day 1

    Sweet Cinnamon Porridge
    2 x cups of tea
    1 pack of corn cakes with beef and Reggae Reggae sauce
    3 x Rice cakes with peanut butter (sugar free organic) and banana
    Nescafe Mocha

    Day 2

    Sweet Cinnamon Porridge

    So I tend to stick to the exercise thread (Matryoshka come back, I miss you there!)



    It is the same ol' Missy :j:j Howdy? I stopped on the exercise thread as I was only posting about going to the gym whereas you lot were posting about running marathons and hiking through mud etc :eek: Made my crosstrainer look tame :rotfl:I stopped working out for about 3 months and put on a stone :eek: I'm back at the gym now trying to lose 12 Ibs the last time I weighed myself ;)

    I'll pop in there :T

    victory so sorry to hear you are going through such difficulty. I hope you manage to get the pictures and things you want from your mother's flat - even if you need your sister to bring them to you since your mother's partner won't let you in. You were their child after all is said and done and you deserve those memories and time to grieve just as much as your brothers and sister and mother's partner.
    Stay strong and you will get through it, in your own way and in your own time.

    thanks for the ideas about backwards food planning. I do tend to try to keep most of my cal allowance for dinner it is my biggest meal usually. But I like the idea of cal counting dinner then brekkie then lunch. might just work :)
    Well I have just got back from my first c25K run/walk :D only injury is a blister on the back of my right heel. I am very suprised that I managed to run at all but I did it YAY ME :j Missy would have been so proud (I do miss her)



    well done :j

    I'm almost halfway through my challenge to run 1,000 miles in 12 months, and last week I ran my furthest ever in a week, 60km. This week I'm going for 65km! :eek: I've come a long way since my jogs around "wii island" :D & speaking of challenges, good luck all you Everest climbers!
    yikes :eek:
    :T well done missy!


    I cycled 12 miles today with OH and had a small portion of chips. Nice day off in the sun. didnt think about 'dieting' too much as I am trying to focus on exercise more than anything. No steps today, but my legs hurt from pedalling!!

    Hi Everyone,

    I am on insulin as well, and use chocolate when I am low on sugar, but the diabetic nurse says I am being a very bad diabetic because there is a lot of fat in chocolate and that is bad for someone on a diet. It is much slower then sugar tablets and the sugar tablets are measureable. Anyway.

    Loved the desert recipe. Can't wait to try it.

    Ahh, yes they have told me off on occasion for giving DS chocolate when he is low.



    Well I've been very busy for the past few days, doing everything but stair climbing! I've managed 65 stairs.... in 3 days!!! :eek::(:eek:
    My total so far for the Everest challenge is 343 sets, which makes 2858 ft. Will aim for at least 3000 ft tomorrow. I think that's only 17 flights, so should be achieveable - although, with my track record... Who knows! :rotfl:

    I'm hoping that I can find some motivation tomorrow at weigh in - I'll either be spurred on by another good loss, or determined to try harder as I've sts/gained. I've not weighed myself at all since last wed so it's going to be a complete suprise tomorrow. Usually I like to weigh myself every couple of days so I can get a better picture of where my weight is going, but I've not done it this week. I don't think i've done too badly, but I know that I could have done better, so I don't know which way it'll go tomorrow.

    Congratulations to all the losers this week, and to all the climbers, you're doing really well.
  • Hi Missy - great to see you pop back if only for a flying visit :D C25K is the couch to 5 km challenge which is a running for beginners programme. I was looking to run the race for life in July but thought I'd start slowly. Glad you are still keeping well and your challenges still make me feel like hiding under sofa :eek:

    Betty - Your bike ride sounds lovely :D I hope your OH enjoyed it too?

    Blimey my bottom is hurting tonight :eek: But just forced some stairs as my count was a little low today.

    Fred - 28 sets of home stairs and 13 sets of work stairs today :A

    Good luck to everyone for weigh in tomorrow x

    It's not the Uk one but the American Biggest Loser. I prefer it to the Uk one as the changes are much more dramatic.
