Very sorry to report a 1/2 lb gain today:(

Think I need to go back to the drawing board and start off afresh.

The thing is I tend to get complecent (sp) and think I know what I am doing:o

Almost always end up proving I know nothing!!:o

Hi Marion

You haven't got as far as you have by 'knowing nothing'! We all get complacent because it's a long and hard journey, and frequent rests are the norm, so don't let this tiny gain get to you . You are a great source of inspiration to the rest of us here, and will continue to be so. What helps me when I get like that is to alter my meals as I am a great one for having the same type of meals each week, a fact that I'm doing again and noticed since making the weekly meal plans! I suppose it's a form of fresh start, but it does seem to help.

I have been to 2 boots weigh machines in adjacents towns today because one said that I had lost 5 lb and the other one said the same, in the space of 2 weeks I have lost 8 lb and I was supposed to be maintaining so have no clue whatsoever what is going on...

3 lb last week, with calorie increase and 5 lb loss this week with calorie increase, now the people at work are saying I could be anemic, that it may be the tablets they gave me for the arthritis (they took me off them last week) or ther steroid/cortison injections I have had in the last few weeks, or the sheer stress of packing, planning, going over to see my mother:eek: I know I feel sick constantly with stress, anyone of those reasons it could be, do not know but H is not best pleased, work colleagues are lost for words and I just don't know...

I'm not envious, not one little bit :rolleyes:

/end lie

It's probably a combination of all those things but I should imagine (from earlier posts) stressing over your mother will be the biggest factor. I don't think anemia is a cause of weight loss - is it? I wouldn't worry overly much at the moment. How long til the holiday? You may well find that once you are out there you will even yourself up. There was a girl at one of my old SW classes that reached her target and was to maintain (she was extremely slim by this time) and she kept losing simply because she loved the eating plan and was finding it hard to add food back in to help her maintain. All us 'butterballs' that were sat there bemoaning (lying about ) the fact that we'd no idea why we gained could only look upon her in envy :rotfl:

Lainie - ick!!! I should keep a printout of posts that make me lose my appetite :rotfl:

oh, oh quick post 'cos I finish work at 4!!

Kat - I'll check the choc tonight when I get the new password. Can you give me the brand of chocolate? 28g of plain dark standard choc is 7 sins.

Petrichor - LOL - I have now to put fishfingers back on my menu. Whenever I read a post from you I started drooling.

I'm having a problem with my eyes I keep coming across a word that starts with 'hous.....' but then I lose focus! Are you people using bad language and swearing in the thread?

Well done everyone that has lost some this week
