Morning STS for me, but believe me after the week I've had that's an achievement! Been really hard going. That still leaves me 2lb up on my weight at the end of the last challenge but it could be worse and I haven't given up. Just got to keep on keeping on

Thank you for managing the huge list of dieters Knit Witch

But i did a food dairy at the doctors and eat less than my 13 yr old. So told me eat more which i did, took the diary and i put on 7 lb in a fortnight!!! I was utterly devastated. Hope i lose something.:(

I'm trying not to bread and pasta, i'm allergic to them but i love hm bread and pasta

I am guessing you put on 7lbs, because your body, said "hey food....at last, I am hanging onto this so I can survive the next fast".

I am trying to cut out as much bread/pasta as poss. It's hard though isn't it.

Cutting back on my coffee as well, I know it won't make me lose weight but might make me feel better. Having fruit tea instead.

I know it has only been a week, but while shopping this morning, instead of the getting the chocolate bar.....I bought a banana and ate that in the car:D

Hi, could I join the challenge please, I have said for bout a year now I want to lose weight but I didn't have the mind to do it and fell into bad food habits. Finally I have the mindset and my lovely husband is joining me which is motivating me more as he loses it faster:rotfl:

I would like to lose a stone, possibly more but I am hoping the first target will set me on the way.:o

I am enrolling on a pilates gentle exercise class as both DH and I are recovering from some injuries, which also means the exercise will be a little bit limited but I'm hoping small changes.

Of course you can join! Is the 14 pounds your target for the next 11 weeks?

Valerie I'm a 'ruined today anyway, may as well eat it all and start over tomorrow' person too

Kezlou has your thyroid been checked?

kezlou

Thanks knit witch!

I haven't had my thyroid tested, but my blood pressure is and no sign of diabetes! So its all good.
Didn't think of that northwest, have to make sure have healthy snacks in.
Its really hard coping without wheat.

Had lunch today so I've had a proper meal at, least. Finally OH is getting on board so were, having heavy meals for lunch.

I'd get it checked hon, it may explain struggling to lose weight if it's underactive. I've qd problems when mine isn't controlled properly

Is 30 Day Shred good?

I have a feeling I've got that in the back of the cupboard somewhere. I'm pretty sure I bought it, watched it and never did it!:(

Hi Midgie
I really like it for a couple of reasons- its only 30 mins long which is great as i get bored doing exercise for any longer! There is 3 routines (1 for each 10 days) that get harder and there is a 'beginers, and an advanced person to follow so good for everyone. I think its a good workout in 30 mins

I am SHATTERED today really really tired- its my only fault really as cant switch off/slow down until im ready to fall down! Have not done 30 day shred today or gone out with OH to walk dog as just dont think i worth exhausting myself over, however I have done some ironing and had to help OH move all of the wardrobes in our back bedroom as we have a damp problem (very old house) and had to bleach behind them/paint damp paint so spent best part of 2 hours moving clothes/shoes and pushing wardrobes around- so hoping for bonus calorie burn there :rotfl:

Ive got a very busy week coming up this week so think exercise will be very limited- but I will do what I can when I can

Today:

B: 3 chipolarter (sp?) sausages, 1 bacon rasher all grilled, 1/2 tin baked beans, 2 poached eggs, 2 wholemeal toast with butter
L: 2 slices of toasted fruit loaf and butter
S: Lf greek yog & banana
T: going roung MIL for tea and we will be having a beef dinner, she always does a pudding aswell so think ill let myself have a tiny portion

Last night I had barcardi and pepsi max (x3 plus a bottle of beer ) Im not a big pop drinker I usually drink just water or tea (i love tea!) and heavens that pepsi max was like drinking syrup- horrid horrid stuff :eek::eek:
due to drinking I also eat (in addtion to my posted menu) handful of tortilla chips with spoon hummous & fun size bag of malterers

Wow sorry massive post again!

Be good all

Thanks hun, i'll speak to the gp about it tomorow.

I have ashtma so I know the steroids add to the weight problem.

kezlou - I think vlc probably means very low calorie.
