Over 100 pounds to lose...

[Poobe]

I have tried the stir fry thing but I am not big on veggies I much prefer to have a leafy cold salad loaded with onions, corn, cucumber, tomatos, rocket and a protein with some feta or something. I was pretty much raised on salads yet I am 100 pounds over weight. The other thing I really enjoy is the same salad stuffed between bread :S

Well tonight I am having avocado halves filled with egg mayo, with some tomato on the side. Need to stop the bread...

Oh hun, don't beat yourself up about last week. Just draw a line under it and start again. Get yourself weighed, tell yourself that is the last time you will see that weight and make a plan. I find it easier if I plan exactly what I'm eating each day...including snacks and syns. I don't really know much about ww's so not much help but there must be some tasty simple meals about.

Poobe I have failed various times but am not giving up. Am going to keep doing it to I get it right. Cheer up

Hey, How are you getting on?

Hey, not doing so great and you? Have had a lot of worry over my 12 year old dog these last two weeks. I know it should not be an excuse, and it isnt, but i dont know how else to handle my stress. I have not gone totally mad, but I have not been watching what i am eating and have not done any exercise.

Hows things with you?

Not too bad, I'm 0.5lbs off my 2st and 10% so weighed it at 17st 11.5 on weds. Was gutted I didn't get that extra 0.5 then but am at least guaranteed next week.

Sorry to hear your not having a great time of it at the moment. Could you try turning to exercise instead of food (not as fun but a good way to vent stress). I have started training for a 13mile sponsored walk I've signed up to along with a group of the girls from my sw group. We've only been out twice so far, first time did just over 3 miles and second time was just under 5 milles which isn't too bad especially as I live in Plymouth and it's all hills. Felt really good after both sessions and am off out again this afternoon. Aiming for 5/6 miles.

Hope your dog gives you less to worry about and that you manage to get back on plan and don't get disheartened. It's a small set back, not the end of the world. You can do it hun.

Well done, wow! Reading your post alone gives me the umpf to get with it. I am away this weekend, and get home on Monday so I have already planned to get back on track from Tuesday, including exercise. And yes, you are right, I should turn to exercise rather than food. Perhaps that is something I can work on as it is a huge problem for me... Thanks so much

You can do it, just remember sometimes all you need is someone to tell you that and remind you of what is possible or advise you of another route that you may not see clearly due to stress or worry or panic or fear or whatever. I am on here most days at some point so if you need some encouragement/nagging or whatever I'm here to help you on your journey. It's easier if you have people along the way with you then doing it alone.

Hey, thanks for remembering me. I am not having a good time at all. My dog is dying. Had his at the specialist vets this week and they found his chest is riddled with cancer. He is having a hard time breathing due to all the fluid on his chest, but they have given him some hefty diurectics which has helped. He is comfortable now and had a good night. It will be soon that he goes, most likely within the next two days. Please pray he dies in his sleep. I cannot cope with having to take him to be put down. I am going to phone around today to try and find a vet who will come out when the time is here. This dog is my everything. I am not coping. The one good thing though, is during times like this I just cannot eat. I am literally living on coke. I just cannot eat anything.
