Hope you feel better soon, Dragon
1.5lb loss for me this week....Don't worry about typing out my username - Call me COMP(Unless you know my real name - in which case, feel free to use that just to confuse people!)0 -
2.5lbs off for me :j, but it was 9 days since last weigh-in and it was am, before brekkie, rather than evening so I'll be happy to maintain in 5 days timeA positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

Hello everyone thread seems a bit quiet this month (says she not having posted for about 3 weeks. Lots of us seem to be struggling to keep up the regime but well done to those of you posting losses.
Anyway reason I haven't posted up to now is that I weighed myself about a week in and still no change:mad:
So I did the mature thing and went off and sulked furiously for a few days muttering darkly about metabolic rates and family all fat what chance have I got? until I decided to look again at what I was eating
And there it was:mad: too many calories going in by a combination of laziness (packet or tinned stuff) and failing to take account of the difference between calories in a packet and when it's made up.
So made masses of veggie soup frozen into correct portions and one or two other substitutions and got a result:j
I suppose when I started this I was quite a few stone heavier and my body could use what I was putting into it and still lose weight but now I weigh less I need less fuel. Also still need to up my exercise so dusted off the running / walking machine and intend to crack on next month after I come back off my hols.
So Dragon a long winded way of saying I weighed myself today and I'm 13st 4lbs so :j:j:j at last going the right way again.
This is my final result for this month as I am off on my hols so I'll be late joining the new thread when you set it up. Keep a space for me.
Best wishes to all and I hope you are feeling better Dragon.
Lots of love Ma0 -

Just a quick update on the NHS Couch to 5k plan. I'm on week 5 and it's been a hard week but I've just completed my first "big run" !!! 20 straight minutes, no intervals. I've been dreading it all week so I just kept telling myself that I wasn't exhausted, I just thought I was lol. When I got the treadmill I couldn't even run for one minute! Really starting to see a change in myself now and it's fab. See you for the weigh in tomorrowSmashed through my weightloss target. Looking at 120lbs+ loss. BMI over 40 down to 20.5. Training hard to get body fat under 20%, not far to go now :j0
