Weight loss the old style way part 2.

JoJoB

Due on April 20th frogga.

Pilates was very good, felt like I was getting stronger by the second. Baba was leaping about the whole way through it.

Checked my weight and only put on 4 pounds rather than the stone I was imagining so feeling a bit better now!

I think I've just got to keep reminding myself that food is not a way to entertain myself. I also think that I've got to get that negative fear out of my head that, 'i've lost 2 weeks running, but it's gonna all go wrong soon."

Try a nice deep bubble bath, paint your nails, a face mask. A new hobby, cross stitch, knitting, reading - it is difficult to eat when you have something else in your hands.

Concentrate on small targets, not the whole picture. After all the Sistine Chapel was not painted in a day, or probably even a couple of years.

I think we all have that negative feeling at some point, but small rewards for losses will help. I aim to put a £1 in the pot for every lb lost, at the end of each stone it will pay for a manicure, or some makeup.

Congratulations on your aniversary cheerfullness.What does one get for twenty years? I know my dad used to say that if he had been given life he would be out by now.:rotfl: :rotfl: I know the 1st year is paper because hubby and I celebrated that last year.

And wow gilly, fab news on the weight loss.May it carry on in a similar fashion.Off to stir my soup(veg and pulses).The idea being eat healthy HM soup for lunch and I wont eat the WHOLE packet of biccys I usually demolish at about 4pm(due to not having any lunch).Well,that is the plan.:rolleyes:

Hi all,
A whole day and a half eh Frogga I've been nearly two weeks now and I'm still fat too, although I know in my heart that one day I'll wake up and be slim! (mind you don't know why I'm talking to you as I thought it was me and newlywed you weren't talking to, and now I know it's just me well!!);)
MrsM that's it you have done it I'm ordering my first cross stitch for years, honestly I used to do lots and also cake decorating until I had carpel tunnel and since the op I've not dared to go back as I know how addictive it can get!
Orpheus as a greeting 'Yo sex goddess' works for me!
Alibow I'm with you on the yukky Batenburg- what are they thinking.
Two weeks now and I think I'm doing well, I have a weigh in on Thursday :rolleyes:
However I am swimming twice a week, salsa dancing once a week and also doing a weekly ramble(walking not composing this post!)
I've picked up some great tips on here and thanks to all who contribute:T your help is immeasurable xx

Hello All!

Back after 2 days in the hospital with DS. I actually ate OK. Took some fruit, water and healthy sandwiches with me.

We now have 12 more days of IV antibiotics at home, which is much better than being stuck in hospital. It also means I can't have any wine (which should be good for weightloss) I have v. early morning and late night IVs to do and can't be tispy in charge of meds and syringes!

This morning I had cheap hospital coffee for breakfast, cheap hospital coffee for lunch, and have just had a wholgrain pitta bread with guacamole and salad now I'm back home.

Have no idea what I'm having later, just know it isn't hospital food!

Hope everyone is well (and not eating hospital food either!)

Hi All,

What a lot of posts to catch up on.

I've had a good day so far. I decided that I needed to cut back a bit further so have decided to start drinking my coffee black. I am not particularly enjoying it yet but am determined to perservere as I know from past experience that you can change tastes. I used to drink gallons of Diet Coke till I decided it was bad for me. I now don't like the taste at all, although I do have the odd ordinary Coke if I am going out as I don't particularly like alchoholic drinks.

Breakfast: Muesli mixed with fruit and fibre, raisins and skimmed milk. Small glass of pineapple juice.

Lunch: 3 crackers with smearing of butter and small piece of Camembert, tomato and banana.

Snack: orange

Tea: Am planning a small portion of pasta with bacon, mushroom and a spoonful of low fat cream cheese stirred in.

I've been trying to think what are my good points and I actually like most of myself, just not the stomach. I think my eyes, hair and smile are probably my best bits.

Keep up the good work everyone,

Rose

Well....still trying to be good with me food....I lurve the accent on the chappie from the Co-op advert:p

I was wearing a skirt at the week-end, that refused to move past me knees last time I tried, about 3mths ago I think. Aaaand I had to return some tshirts I'd ordered in the next size down becozzz

they were too big:j :T Yeah me!

Had a quick nosy in MrT's yesterday, & I'm pleased to see they are beginning to do tinned pulses in just water. I don't like the idea of brine SIZE=1]even tho me tuna comes in it cuz sunflower oil is sooooo slippery[/SIZE][SIZE=2cuz I'm trying to reduce the offspring's salt intake as much as poss & want to get them eating more stuff like borlotti & harricot.[/SIZE]

To prevent a tongue-lashing from The Green One;) , my positive is I am interested people & what they have to say....unless they are a politician:rotfl: :rotfl:

Just heard back from Gingham about having a weekly weight loss thread. Unfortunatly it's a "no go" as it is not strictly a money saving thread. Never mind it's not Ginghams fault so better not moan at her please
