Hello Everyone ….

Sorry that I’ve been a bit of a stranger over the last few weeks – although I have been coming into the forum and keeping up with all your fabulous weigh losses!

I guess I was too ashamed to admit that I’d fallen off the Slimming World wagon and gained all the weight that I'd lost and MORE!! I’m back up to 222 pounds – a gain of several pounds since I last weighed in properly. :break_diet:

And that’s not all …. I got a bit of a wakeup call - a telephone call from my Doctor to be precise – I was diagnosed as a pre-diabetic after blood tests yesterday. I’m 0.2 away from being a Type II Diabetic. WTF???

I really don’t have a choice now. I need to lose weight and exercise more. I need to cut my carbs way down, so not a lot of potatoes, rice or pasta. I also need to count calories and measure portion sizes.

I don’t think that Slimming World is the right plan for me under these circumstances, so I’m going to try the Rosemary Conley Diet and Fitness Plan. It’s based on the Glycemic Index, counts calories and it has exercise incorporated into it.

I can’t believe that I’ve compromised my health in this way …. :booboo:

What a stupid woman I am .... :cry:

Oh Mopps! How awful for you BUT all is not lost. The docs have caught it before it becomes serious and you can now change it. Like you said, you don't really have a choice now so grab the bull by the horns and pound that weight down.

Well done for coming back though and confiding in us. And so what if you're not doing SW? We are all still in a weight loss battle regardless of plan and can support you through this.

What sort of things can you eat now then sweetie? I wish you all the best and if you need anything just shout xxx

 

[Moppet]

Thanks Minky ...

I'll just need to do my best to get the weight off. I was really shocked when the doctor called to tell me the results - I knew I was obese and that my weight was holding me back, but it really hit home when she said I was on my way to becoming a diabetic within two or three years. I'm being positive though - and as you say, it's not something that I can't do anything about. I just need to get my bum in gear and get moving ... literally!

Like I said, I'm going to try and do Rosemary Conley again. It's basically low fat, lower carb and portion control ... and exercise. She has a lot of online motivational stuff, workouts and low fat recipes, so it should be easy enough to get back into the swing of it.
You know , I've been losing and gaining that same 10lbs over and over and over again for months now. If I added all those lost pounds up and took the total off the weight that I am now ... then I would be non-existent. That's really stupid ... isn't it?

Hubby and I cleaned out the fridge and cupboards last night when we got home. All the sweeties and biscuits went into work with him today so there is nothing in the house. We went shopping afterwards and stocked up with fruit and vegetables, low-fat yoghurts, cold meat, low fat cheese, porridge and wholemeal bread. I have bags of chicken breast and lean mince in the freezer, so I'll just start cooking everything from scratch.

We won't be eating out anytime soon either. We ate out - or bought take away - eight times last month. We counted it out - an average bill is around $30 for both of us, so that's $240. I could have bought a nice rug or a couple of lamps for the living room with that kind of money!

I'm pig sick at myself, but I'm not letting it get me down ... I'll do it one day at a time .... Ah, don't you just love a wee bit of Lena Martell??
Thanks for your support Minky - it's appreciated ... :bighug:

Aahhh foxy that's wicked! Can't wait to hear the juicy gossip after. And if you feel mega nervous just sit there opposite him and pull the face that's in your avatar that will break the silence or uncomfortable-ness!

What you have to remember is, they already like you - to whatever extent - but they do, other wise they wouldn't have asked you out or agreed to go out with you. Chill sweetie and just go with it. If anything, HE should be the nervous one to be graced with your presence for the evening

Remember, it's all about the confidence xxxx

 

[Moppet]

Thanks Foxy ... I think I'll stick around if you and Minky don't mind ... where did everyone else go??

Good luck with your date tonight ... I have no advice to give you - it's been such a long time since I went on a conventional date and Minky seems to have everything covered ....

PMSL I need to change that daft picture... he was really nice, totally chilled no silences or odd moments if you know what I mean. Going out again but dont know when... I just thought to myself I've got nothing to lose. He could be an arse or a nice person and he seems to be a nice person. Explained my situation and we are going to do "friends" and then see what happens... anyway I lost 4lbs last night, Ive stopped taking my pill Im not sure if that has had an affect or if it even can??? Off to update the list...

[Alsmum]

Hi, sorry I disappeared from here for a while but I just wasn't getting anywhere. I know I won't hit my aim of 21 lbs but so far this year I have lost 5.5 lbs, it is only the last few weeks it has come off and stayed off before that I'd loss, sts, loss, gain and I just didn't feel I was making any progress but I hope that has now changed. May gain or sts this week but at least I'll know why, away for the weekend and have no control over the menu.
