Lost 6 today, which I was utterly amazed at. I'm now back on track following my big gain last week.

Feeling quite motivated,

And so you should be!! That's brilliant!:T and you too rummer.:T
I have a had a piece of cake and a couple of squares of chocolate tonight but I'm within syns (I think) for the week. We'll see at WI on Thursday.

I know you won't feel sorry for me, but this maintaining business is hard work! isn't it tie?;):D

Where_You_Working

So happy, lost 4 pounds yesterday, three weeks in! Ist week 4 1/2, second week 2. Got my half stone award and was slimmer of the week again!!! Can highly recommended the plan for anyone not sure, I am a big girl with a big appetite, have been through a lot of stress this week, with having to start home educating my daughter, and managed to cope without reaching for the chocs! Thanks again for the inspiration on this thread, I am lucky to go to a very supportive group but reading this through the week really helps as well!

Hi, still here and still at target.. Well 1.5lbs below

So total loss 6 stone 7.5, was a poind more a few wks back but its hard to stay at exactly the same

Yesterday I was diagnosed with gallstones, (thought I had them for a week or so now, family history of them, knew the symptons!) seems its a side effect of loosing a lot of weight, so gallbladder is for coming out, just not sure when

Been on steriods for my chest too, and omg they don't have give u a wild appetite! I am surprised I'm still loosing they way I am eating at the mo, when I think of the weeks I busted myself and didn't loose anything

My eating is all over the place with the gallstones, I'm just eating what I feel like, cause I feel like I am pregnant, and have morning sickness, I don't know what's gonna make me sick, or what isn't. So I am just eating what I want and have been for a week or so, surprised I got away with it tho an managed to get a loss on the scales.

morning everyone

Well done to everyone that's lost some weight since i last posted on this thread :j

I have officially re-joined SW yesterday. There is a class just 5 minutes walk from work which is handy as it means i can pop there in my lunch hour. I don't have to go out again when i get home from work & the lady seemed to be nice. The class must have had about 50 in attendance as well although a fair few just got weighed & left which the consultant seems to be ok with. She did say as its a city centre class things work a bit differently to a normal class.

I am not sure if anyone remembers or not but i went to the docs who diagnosed me with depression/anxiety & then offered me CBT sessions to help with my frame of mind, anyway i attended the first CBT appointment last week and was told that as i was still grieving i wasn't eligible for the CBT sessions or any other sort of help. So i have been sent away :mad:. I suspect because i am not deemed a "risk" they are just not interested in how i feel :mad:
I left the doctors feeling very cross about the fact that they didnt want to help me. So i ended up having a bad weekend

I was ranting about all the above to a friend who informed me there was 7 stages of grief, and it seems that i am in stage 4 of the process. The fact she has pointed this out to me has really helped me & made me realise that what i am going through is normal.
This explains why i am so up & down every day, why i am so unmotivated and why i am finding it hard to socialise with anyone. There are days when i cant deal with people full stop. I just need to be on my own in my own thoughts. I feel like i am still on the outside looking in at all the "happy" folk & wondering why i have a constant black cloud over me (or never that far away).

So sorry for waffling on so much.. today i am going to have a green day & this is my menu :-

B - Linda Mcartney rosemary/red onion sausages x 2, small tin of spag hoops

L - cowboy pie (from this months mag) topped with hex A low fat cheddar

D - Veggie Frittata (from slimming eats site) with sweet potato chips & side of peas

s - Hifi deluxe peanut bar ( hex b choice), mint options hot chocolate (1.5 syns), coconut & vanilla muller greek yoghurt (0.5 syns) , an apple & some strawberries

Hope that everyone has a nice day, thank you all for being patient with me. Its much appreciated

PS - the SW consultant i saw yesterday also really hammered the EE plan as well, and just said you can look into green/red days yourself. I dont know why they cant spend 5 minutes explaining about the 2nd hex a/b choices.

Morning All :wave:

Well 1lb on for me this week, & can understand why, was not sticking to plan. I need to go back to basics for the next few weeks instead of guestimating syns etc, also DH has been using oil in the actifry!!!! I only ever use frylight in it, only discovered this last night, he says “its ok & makes them taste better” I need to try and get on here every day, post my menu & go to bed earlier with my kindle instead of staying up late snacking. I am going to get back on the shred as well. I am surprised it was only 1lb this week as I feel really bloated! Well done to all the losers

Todays EE plan

B – ½ melon filled with berries & FF nat yoghurt
L – SW quiche (HEA) with large salad
D – Gammon steak, actifry herby potatoes, broccoli, cauliflower
S – Banana, toffee muller, apple
HEB – 3 x ryvita with 3 x LCL 4.5 syns
0.5 for milk in coffee this morning

Will use more syns tonight for an options at bedtime & make up a snack box for the coming week ahead.

RFD - That is absolutely shocking, I cannot believe they turned you away, big hugs to you x

I know. The lady then had the audacity to say to me "so is that ok? " and My response was no its not at all. They didn't direct me to any sort of support groups, instead just handed me a depression leaflet & told me to read it each day, and try & get myself to partake in activities.

I think you should go back to your GP & demand that you are referred to some sort of help gorup, I think talking will help. My aunt saw a phsycholigist for a long time to cope with various things, one of them was her mother disowning her & favouring her grandaughter over her (not one other person in family speaks to her) & phsycologist said she had to deal with her mother as if she was grieving & she had to go through the whole process, know its totally different circumstances for you but I really would go back to the GP! x
