Weight Gain

[xstitcher]

Hi Out there...feeling a bit down. Today was my weekly weigh in and have again put on 1 lb. making it a total of 6 pounds in a couple of months. I have doing Rosemary Connely since last Sept and managed to loose 10 kilos.
My doctor had given me pills to help keep my hunger down ( I didn't think they did) but now they have been taken off the market. (can't remember their name)

I am eating the same and exercising every day (am 70 yrs old) so I just wanted some support really. I shall keep on of course but it is so annoying to see numbers going the wrong way.

Hi Fellow ABflabbers - I am sorry but I forgot to weigh this morning, and as I always weigh in the morning (being the lightest time!) I will forgo it this week (but check tomorrow.....). I think I've put on a couple of lbs over the Bank Holiday (OH making lovely bacon sarnies...) so I will start again. Heavy couple of weeks coming up at work though and a healthy lunch not is always feasible if I am away from my desk. No excuses though, I am not giving up!

Thank you, Wendilla and Slinky. The support on here is great :)

Onwards and downwards, ladies - we can do it!

[boxtops]

Your news is great, yingyang!

Hello All, I just remembered being told that when loosing weight you should never let yourself get the feeling of starving...a handful of raisin, a carrot, a bit of cucumber (I like a rice cake....low fat) all these things flushed down with water take away that feeling....that was the tip for today I guess.

I feel like I have lost 10 kilos today because it is the day my son returns home from Afghanastan. The word relief takes on a completely new meaning believe me.

What a lovely waking thought for you xstitcher - welcome home to your son and enjoy the reunion!

[wendilla]

[xstitcher]

I felt I had to come on and confess my sins. My friend came down today and she suggested going out for lunch. I didn't say no but I said I know where it is nice where my daughter and I went yesterday. End of story.But enjoyed it. That's my treats 3 in all for 1 week .Will be on strict strict what passes my mouth now till next wednesday as I have never gained since I started.

Stayed the same this week so will really have to watch it . I feel better now I have told you .But I have an excuse her and hubby are going Turkey Saturday.

We can't become hermits Wendilla. Tomorrow is our wedding anniversary so we are going out for lunch. I shall try to eat low fat things but.............I suppose I will be in the confessional line tomorrow....watch this space.

[wendilla]

Hi Xstitcher and girls how did the wedding go.No confessions to make as I know I have to be good.Probably will stay the same but that is ok.

[xstitcher]

Hi Wendilla and everyone, no confessions to make but then I was thinking of all of you which made it easier to stay on the straight and narrow. I walked by people sitting at sidewalk cafes and even the beer looked good.......I don't even drink beer!!

Well the wedding I went to yesterday was lovely, beautiful weather, lovely setting, the bride looked fantastic and the food was lovely! It was buffet style and they had put the salads etc out and some dressings seperately, which I thought was sensible. So we ate well without feeling that anything was exceptionally fattening. There was a delicious fruit salad amongst many high calorie puddings, so I was quite good. I'm not going to weigh myself today - give myself a chance to settle down into normality again. Does anyone else feel a compulsion to weigh yourselves more than usual whilst dieting - I know that I shouldn't - I get quite upset if the needle has moved even a tiny bit in the wrong direction! but the temptation is always there!

bld I hop on every day, have done so for years, if it swings up then I am more careful that day (well, that's the theory). I always weigh as soon as Ive had a wee, when I get up - the scales are next to the loo.... more a habit than an obsession though.

[wendilla]

hi boxtops I have thought in doing that but I like to see the weight loss on a wednesday .Maybe when I lose the other stone I might as that is a good way of keeping check.
onward and downward

[xstitcher]

I'm with you Wendilla and like you perhaps when I get to where I want to be ....another 5 kilos then I will weigh myself more than once a week.
I'm going out for a girlie brunch tomorrow.....good for the soul but I don't know about the weight. I hope there will be a menu with options for people like me and that I will have the will to choose it.

[yinyang]

Good morning, ladies

I'm not looking forward to tomorrow's weigh in at all; having had a very sinful weekend.It's amazing how easy it is to fall into bad habits again. Been feeling a bit low the last few days too so reaching for comfort food - it hasn't helped.

Anyway - back to the good habits now and trying to be more positive. Just preparing myself for the worst tomorrow!

Hello, do you mind if I join in? I realised yesterday that I was 5lb more than I thought I was. I'm aiming to lose 12lbs now (instead of the 7lb that I'd assumed). I need a lot of inspiration because I'm feeling low in general at the mo.
