I stayed the same this week, but I'm not too surprised or upset about it. Firstly, it's my TOM and I tend to gain/STS, and secondly, I ate out twice last week, once was unplanned and I couldn't find anything healthy that I liked and ended up with a cheese and onion panini, stuffed with cheddar cheese! The other, was planned, but in the end I decided to have a night off and order what I wanted. Hoping for better this coming week, as I'm back on track and I've also been doing a fair bit of walking, due to getting a fitbit for my birthday!

Keep up the good work everyone! x

 

[Autumn500]

Ooooo ive been soooo bingey lately.any ideas on how to snap out of it?ive not been feeling well this week and juices and healthy food just aren't cutting it but I don't want to get back into the binge cycle because it's not what I do anymore

 

[Autumn500]

Thx it's been a long time coming and it is over 2 weeks (as I was away last week) but still glad it's off!xx

Well done on your loss im sure that has boosted your motivation!

 

[KentCat]

Hosted a work pub quiz for comic relief tonight now absolutely shattered but on the good side had no snacks and no booze just a lime and soda.

Trying to stay strong

Never sure how to stop myself bingeing either - but how about thinking about how much u've lost lately and how u'll feel if u undo any of that hard work with even a small gain?

There's that old saying too - for the moment on the lips - a lifetime on the hips!

Could you make yourself take the dog for a walk (not past the chippy tho!) or some other kind of exercise?

Come on here and look at some of the success stories?

Look at some pics of yourself good ones to motivate urself and ones u don't like to spur u on!

For the future could you write a list of healthy snacks, meals or that u enjoy & will fill u up and feel like a treat - have you seen the Delicious Meals with Minimum Ingredients thread? Well over a thousand easy-to-make fab recipes from Kathy (username Chocko1)?

Hope the bingey feeling goes soon - keep posting too! xx

I've been the same lately :-( I've gained and lost the same 6.5lbs 3 times in the last few weeks, it was getting me so depressed. I went to the doc last week and asked for xenical, apart from a (rather large) blip on Monday a few hours before I started taking them they seem to have done the trick - I weigh in tomorrow but this mornings sneak peak showed I'm a pound down since my last update

 

[KentCat]

His, what's xenical?

 

[Nanny Doreen]

His, what's xenical?

It is basically a slimming aid. I just looked it up on internet.

 

[Hoz]

Also called orlistat, you take it with your meals each day and stick to a low fat diet, don't eat anything over 5% fat and no more than 15g per meal. It works by binding to the fat you consume in your diet and stops you digesting around a third of it if I remember rightly. There's a section in the forum on it if you want any more info

I don't know ur circumstances but please please please be careful with xenical and make sure you are being properly guided with it. I know it can help weight loss but it isn't necessarily going to help with the psychology behind overeating or binging, I hope it works for you and gives you the results you need but please be careful as ive heard of some of the bad side effects

Losing and gaining the same pounds is so frustrating that's where I am at the minute and for the past week ive been binging big time which I hadn't been doing in ages.i think another Attempt at a juice cleanse is in order as my mood and energy is down and my psoriasis is playing up again and it had been helped by the juice

 

[CatA]

It's Friday! WOOP!

Weigh-in tomorrow....eeeek!

Really hope I at least get 1lb off to hit the stone. Not expecting more as currently mid-star week and feeling bloated.
