    I have never fished food back out of the bin, but that's probably the only one I haven't done! I had a terrible habit of ordering food online which has a minimum amount you must spend for delivery, so spending far too much, buying enough to feed several people, and eating far far too much!

    You've been 100%, 80% of the time. What have you done the rest of the time as that may explain why you haven't been losing. I would suggest going up a step. If your bmi is too low your body may just refuse to lose on so few calories. Try going up to step two for a couple of weeks
  176. Starlit_Cazza

    It's a fair point but killing people through shocking "food" also apparently saves money and cuts waiting times ;) In France they charge you for food in hospital - 7€ when my brother was in (per day) But the food was brilliant. I'd happily pay if it meant I was getting a decent meal for it...
  178. Starlit_Cazza

    Big G to Great South Run Participant 2013

    They bring it in from Wales apparently. Also had a "cheesecake" with a two year shelf life... nice. Vodka sounds good, think it might raise a few eyebrows in here though ;) I'll settle for morphine instead for now!

    Day2 SS 100% so far!!!

    I would, but having had surgery twice in the last month I have been put off a bit! Takes me a while to get over an operation, and skin removal is a huge operation! Not sure I would cope very well, as much as I would like it done

    I've lost 100lb this year!!!!

    Another 6lb off this week so 106lb/7st 8lb gone now! Down to 17st 1lb and hoping to be in the 16's very very soon!

    Day2 SS 100% so far!!!

    It won't be long, Trust me! I am same height as you and started at 24st 9lb on 31st December and I have now lost 7st 8lb! And I came off plan just over 4 weeks ago for surgery so reckon I would be over 8st gone if I hadn't had a forced break!

    Yes they did keyhole. I have 4 1" cuts on my tummy, one of which is in my belly button! Feeling a bit tender still but due to leave hospital today. It's often done as a day surgery, but think because mine was done as an emergency it's taken me a bit longer to recover!

    Agree with one thing at a time. I only recently gave up after being in the diet for 5 months first! But been ok. Helped that I gave up as had surgery on elbow end of May, then didn't want to smoke post surgery, then have ended up having surgery again so good thing I had quit!

    SS weight gain and I don't know why :(

    You NEED to move up a step as your BMI is now too low for SS - this will be why you are not losing weight. Move up to 810 and things should get going again soon enough

    I can understand that! Lost 90lb on Cambridge then had to stop suddenly as received operation date at short notice. Moved up to 1200cal and regained 5lb and was more bothered about getting rid of that 5lb than I was the original 90lb I had lost!

    As Lily said, you have posted on several threads that you lost 9lb on week one and 4lb on week two... So confused as to why you are claiming on this thread to have lost so little. Most people would be more than happy with over a stone in that period.

    Based on your height you cannot carry on sole source and need to move up plans now. Sole source is only safe when you are bmi 25 + 1stone or higher. 140lb will take you down to a bmi of 21.9, you will not achieve that on sole source safely.
