Thank you realFireflies for your reply .. no I am now recovering from the illness as it made me housebound and am undergoing rehabilitation therapy. I am trying to get my life back and have started calorie counting and hoping that is the way forward for me .. maybe I am just feeling vulnerable...
There I was having a really lovely time at a friends house, catching up on all the gossip, when as I get up to leave her four year old grandson whom I had been playing and laughing with shouts out "she's fat" as I am putting my shoes on .. my poor embarrassed friend then tells him to stop being...
To be honest I nearly gave up yesterday (day 5) as just fancied toast for some reason, but persevered and how glad I am as down half pound down from yesterday even after having an Atkins bar which I was saving until the end of my first week as a little treat. Now I am Atkins all the way :p
Thank you so much for your replies. I weighed myself this morning just to see if the exercise is affecting my weight loss and I am down 2 pounds in 3 days :) so am quite happy with that and I have eaten tons. Tonight will be my third day in a row that I am going to the gym but tonight I am only...
I am on my 3rd day of Atkins and am really enjoying this way of eating and am at the moment suffering from the dreaded tiredness, headachy feeling so hoping that I will be in the big K tomorrow. However I've started going to the gym, and to be honest it's killing me as I am not used to exercise...
I had mine done about 3 years ago and its the best thing I ever did. I had mine done at optical express and it cost me nearly £3000 but what's that for good eyesight. I do need to wear reading glasses if the lights not good but that's most probably due to age and I was warned about it before I...
Oh Cherry Blossom I am just the same .. I still love looking and smelling food. I always asked the family what they are having, did they enjoy it :sigh: what are we doing to ourselves lol.
I am sticking with it Kelly, in fact I do feel a bit more positive today. Going to get weighed on...
I have been overweight for so long that its hard to say what BMI I would like to be. I think firstly I would like to get under the 30s and then see how I feel. Idealy I would like to get to 25 but I just cant picture myself ever getting there .. although I know with CD it is possible.
Aww MusicStar I know exactly how you feel, I've been feeling just the same. It took me so long to restart because I couldn't get back on track. I can see your half way there so not much longer to go for you. Try to focus on your end goal .. I know you can do it, you can get there and we are all...
Oh thank you so much for your replies, its so nice to have support on here. I don't get any at home .. just get "not that diet again". Anyhoo didn't cheat .. I have carried on. Felt sooooo depressed last night too but came online just now and to read your messages was brilliant, just what I...
I really don't know what is going on with me at the moment, I've just lost 10 pounds in one week and yey am so happy about that .. but it has been a struggle. I've felt so hungry and am getting obsessed with the food around me. Even sniffing the biscuit tin for goodness sake.
This is third...
I can completely understand. I was on Atkins and lost a lot of weight on it but after a while there would be weeks of no loss even though I had been good. I did try a couple of other diets but the loss was the same and I become demotivated. After a several months of weight creeping back on I...
Don't I know it, I am now back on track after a break for holidays, weddings, etc. The first few days were the worst but once your in it and the determination sets in, your on your way .. hope you have a good loss this week x
thanks pink fluff for the advice, I will try to get in some more water today.
Last night I got home and was starving .. well probably not starving but you know what I mean. I ended up having a slice of bread before my dinner was cooked so had to use that as my last snack :sigh: Anyhoo did a...
I've started today on slimfast, weighed myself this morning, got a big shock as a stone has gone on since I stopped doing cd about 6 weeks ago. I have had a holiday and 2 weddings inbetween so I think I will be blaming it on that lol.
Anyhoo a bit about me, at my heaviest I weighed 18st 2lb...
lots of lovely ideas thank you very much. Completely forgot about the pasta and sauce. Only problem with that is that when I cook it at home it makes a complete mess of the microwave. Does anyone else have that problem or is it just me .. ?
I like the idea of home made soup... I could take it...
Hi All,
I have been on the Atkins diet since November and managed to lose 20 pounds. The diet has become boring and I need a bit of variety and Slimming World seems ideal. The only problem is I need to lose a lot of weight before my wedding in June. Yes I am panicking a bit :sigh: to say the...
