Keep your chin up, Ness:kisses3:. It's is coming off slowly for some of us but it is coming off and you thyroid could be affecting things. We just have to keep at it. Had a chat with my GP about my weight loss and he reckons slow weight loss is good as you get used to a new way of eating, your body has time to adjust and you are more likely to keep it off in the long run. (Still hoping for an 8lb loss next week though:rolleyes:)

Thanks gpuss

That is good to know, and does kinda make sense and I really should remember that with the thyroid problem I really should be about 6 stone overweight and not the [STRIKE]3 that I am [/STRIKE] no hang on only 2 stone now :T :T but I am like you I want 1/2 a stone a week please :rotfl: :rotfl:

Thanks mate

Just checking on you all!! I WI tonight and HOPE I have lost at least a pound. I have done loads of walking & cycling this week AND stuck to the plan 95%. Had one small piece of battered fish yesterday - that was the only "blip" though. I had a big salad and Ryvita for my evening meal to make up for that and been very active - long walk and work this morning.

I am losing slowly too - 1-2 lbs most weeks & I noticed that someone else commented about slow weight losses. I am fairly happy with mine TBH because I can see, for example, in my face, that I've lost weight on my cheeks and chin (but there's no hanging flesh) whereas I know a woman who has had gastric bypass op and her skin is hanging in THE most awful folds off her face. It looks truly dreadful and I suppose now she'll have to have surgery on that.

Yep, the people who have gastric bypasses lose weight so quickly that they're often left with hanging skin all over the place, which must be awful when you've lost all that weight. I think many of them have to have more surgery.

Hi everyone

Don't get much time to post on here, but try to keep up with reading the thread. Good to see evryone's doing so well.

I had my WI last night after my first week on the programme and I lost 5lbs. I was really chuffed! I found it pretty easy to stick to as well. The same again next week would be good but I know that is highly unlikely - I would be happy with 2lb to give me my first half stone!!

On a green day today and have no idea what to have for dinner so I'm looking for some inspiration. What's everyone else (on Green days) having for dinner tonight?
