woop woop well done! x and sandra its still a pound off! maybe cookeh is right about cutting back a bit more?or are you following a strict plan? either way it is better off than on x

I'm already following the plan to the letter.....too scared to cut back any further as I don't feel brilliant as it is.....

I guess I need to settle for a lb a week at least until I'm over the op and my aneamia has gone...I so wish that I had been able to get to goal before I had to refeed....take note those of you that think that you will be happy to lose the last bit with a conventional diet, chances are that you won't! It's just too bloody slow ......

It's just too bloody slow ......

Aww Sandra, it must be so frustrating for you, I know I'd be itching to get back on TFR to shift those last few pounds pronto. As you say I think it's about acceptance, accepting that 1lb a week is going to be your rate of loss to goal. Not brilliant especially if you aren't enjoying the diet hehe

Just wondering though, would it be worth switching to Atkins for the last part? I think the rate of loss is a bit quicker. Just a thought x

Thought about that cos originally was going to do Dukan......but tbh I am so enjoying eating fruit and veg again that I can't bear the thought of either that or Atkins! I am enjoying ww as I'm not really eating anything different to what I usually would. I am slowly accepting that I have to eat to get healthy again rather than to lose the last few pounds. At the end of the day I am a nice comfortable size 12, even wearing some 10's, so it's hardly a big deal in the scheme of things. I also reckon that I can fit in 4 or 5 gym sessions a week and I will be getting increasingly fitter so eventually I'll get to where I want to be.......eventually! Looking back through my stats I realised that I'd only lost a lb some weeks on LT, now that was worth complaining about!

[LincsBren]

Well I've had a bit of a nightmare - had a riding accident and have broken a couple of ribs, so my plans to get back to TFR for the new year have been halted. However, I decided to re-start today, in the hopes that I can at least shift 8lbs by the end of Jan, which will leave just my last half stone to go to goal in Feb.

100% so far today - I've had 3 products, but if I'm starving later I'll have another as that's better than cheating!

Ouch Bren, poor you, I've broken ribs skiing and they're bloody agony, even coughing and sneezing feels like you're being stabbed! Are you ok otherwise?

Take it easy sweetheart, the last few pounds can wait, you need to mend those ribs.....

Sorry Paula, all your weigh ins have got to be in the calendar month......but don't worry we do this every month and as your wi is right at the beginning of the month you'll have a good start! It all evens out in the end and you're doing brilliantly so don't be greedy and try and sneek an extra weigh in

 

[Jayne33]

Yeah, you're not allowed Paula lol. Su always stops us as well I tried to do that in Oct and wasn't allowed, and failed my challenge by half a flipping lb! lol.
