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 XSTITCHER thanks .I just can't undo what I have done over the last few months to put it on again.I am eating quite normal plenty of chicken and fish and have had the odd beef meal. I know some people can't take the grapefruit juice due to medical reasons but that is what helps me .I hope people don't think they are tied to a Wednesday. Just pop in anytime and share with us .So as I said Cut out the fat and the crap and it will be done so Onwards and Downwards.

Hello everyone, I didn't lose any weight this week. I'm going to try what Mupeteer said and eat different foods, because I'm fed of of being good and getting nowhere, so this week I'm going to try all different foods to take the boredom out of it all.

[wendilla]

Notafish you need to work out your meals for the whole week.Yes it can be boring but don't go on salads all the time as you will be bored on that.Just write out what you are having for the whole week as you can vary it better that way. Good luck.

Thanks Wendilla, I'm sure I'll lose some weight by next week. I've not been eating much salad recently. I have just been having smaller portions. Good luck to you too. See you on here next Wednesday, if not before.

I was going to go swimming this morning, but it looked so cold outside I didn't fancy the idea anymore. I'm not really doing much exercise, I don't have the get up and go. What exercise are any of you doing? And how often?

[wendilla]

I am afraid I don't do much exercises never did like going gyms ects. The only exercise I do is a hoola hoop with out the hoop lol. And arm exercise.I know if I did walk more I would probably lose more but I am quite happy the way I am doing. Sorry not much help on exercising.

[Marijn]

Hi Wendilla, I probably enjoy swimming best out of all exercises but hate getting cold and wet, and having to wash my hair after. I'll make an effort this week to do a bit of exercising, and I'll let you know when/if I've done it.

[looobylooo]

im using a little mini stepper to get some exercise in.
ive never been one for exercise either, but this is easy and convenient, ive got it here in the room, and i just nip on for a few minutes at a time whenever i fancy, like during ad breaks when im watching corrie or something. or say 15 mins stepping while im listening to my favourite toons on my ipod. its good.
and hey, ive been offered a 'leg master' exercise machine (anyone else got one of these?) from some kind lady on our local freecycle site.
im picking it up tomorrow. she doesnt want anything for it (cost her £80 new), plus shes got a stepper too that i can have (also cost her £80 new). so im having that aswell! - well, you can never have too many steppers can you?! lol. (itll be handy to have as a spare if mine ever went up it)
but how generous and kind is that eh? i couldnt thank her enough in my replies when we were messaging earlier making arrangements.
i think i will buy her some flowers and give them to her when i nip over as a little thank you token - do you think that would be enough/ok?
so anywaaaay notafish, maybe get yourself a stepper too? just a few minutes a day is better than doing nothing isnt it?
good luck to everyone, and heres hoping itll be a pleasing weight loss this week :o)

[looobylooo]

whooops! i meant to say a 'leg magic' exercise machine lol ... tut ... not a 'leg master' one.
ive just googled it, looks ok, i think i remember seeing them on qvc a little while ago.
apparantly theyre good for toning up the inside of your thighs.
they say you only need do 20 seconds at a time?! - 20 seconds?! blimey, now that sounds just up my street that does ;o) lol

[wendilla]

Hi Loobylooo and to think that when my daughter lived here she used to have a stepper but I am positive she sold it but will check and yes I think that's a good gesture with the flowers as you can pick up some good things on these sights.
Onwards and Downwards

[wendilla]

Well I spelt that wrong it should be sites.

Hello everybody.

Hope you are all doing well,I've been reading through some of the posts and glad that the main group are still here and sticking with the diets.

I've been having a complete break from AB and think I'll probably do so until after Xmas at least. I do miss this thread but it's actually quite nice being out in thr real world - I'm certainly getting more done. I've been sticking with my healthy eating and I'm now down to 98kg so heading in the right direction.

I wish you all the best, ladies, and i may stick my head round the door occasionally to see how you're getting on.Onwards and downwards!

Be sure that you are drinking enough - I find that my weight loss is greatly helped by remembering to drink water - I sometimes have a cup of hot water with lemon in it as well as tea and coffee. Also, don't eat anything past 8 pm, as it gives your body time to digest it before your systems slow down for bed time. I find buying a new cookery book gives me a boost, as it gives me lots more different recipes to try! Good luck, I am sure it is just a temporary glitch!

[wendilla]

Hi both to carry on with this topic you need to go to Health and fitness as AB Editor is closing this one and we are continuing over there. Yes RosyRussel very good advice.
