Hello! *waves*

Ive been AWOL for so long!

Things arent good at home and I sunk back into my normal stuff :(

Counselling Starts on 4/10/11 so I finally have a confirmed date which I am pleased about!

Trousers feel loads tighter which is making me cross!

I have finally decided that I do not want to be going back and forth between SW and WW and that Im going to give it a go on my own- using SW and WW Recipes for a bit of support and also weigh in at Boots every Tuesday before I start work.

I am going to keep a limit on my calories but not forbid anything. I have also decided to purchase my own bowl and smaller plate and keep them in the cupboard! I know its a bit odd but I do not want to keep eating the same portion sizes that I currently do.

After my consultation with my physiotherapist I have been informed that on the 5th October I am to attend my Hospitals Gym for specialised classes for my stomach and back and also to help with pain management as my brain is still signalling pain when my back has nearly healed (a bit like when you have a stroke)

So i am going to my best to keep on here and hopefully I will get where I want to be!

Hope you're all ok!

Hello everyone!

Back to it as of Monday! Got a new meeting time of 530 pm which is much better for me! I have put A LOT of weight on- not sure how much! Done a lot of comfort eating which has made me feel awful!

I was sat in the spa on holiday laid on my back in the pool looking up at the sky and I thought, I just can't do this anymore! When it was my grandmas funeral I couldn't find any smart clothes to fit me, I have acquired more stretch marks on my stomach, my face looks swollen with weight and I'm terrified my OH is gonna bugger off with someone else!

Things are slotting Into place now- it's not about trying to live better and giving up because my mental state isn't up to much! This is all finally getting sorted, this is going to complete my life and FINALLY let me be the person I want to be!

Will reassess my goals after the meeting on Monday! The boots diet wasn't my cup of tea so I've contacted my SW consultant and I'm going back then.

I'm going to have to do this!!!! My health and my life now depend on it! This forum is the only way I lose weight- need to stay on here even if it kills me!

Welcome back Ruth.

Don't be too hard on yourself if you've put on a little weight again, you've had a very tough time. You seem really motivated and focused now though. Best of luck and the girls here will be there to give you all the support you need xx
 
Thanks very much everyone! Looking forward to getting back to it and feeling better! So bloated at the minute! Thinking about giving myself an eating curfew! 8pm? 7pm? Is this a good idea???

Oh my lord I have just weighed myself! This is the most I've weighed EVER however I've literally just eaten my dinner and I'm full of diet coke?!?!

Don't know how I feel?!?!? Maybe I should do it when I'm not bloated and havent just eaten lol!!!

I would do it in morning :) I weigh about sometimes 3-4lbs heavier on night depending on what I have ate that day. Dont worry about the gain it will soon be gone :) xx
 
At the minute on my home scales I'm 5lbs up from where I started on WW originally, and if I can remember correctly my home scales weigh 1.5 less than my meeting ones! Ho hum :( into the next stone bracket and everything!

Will shift it! Have eaten lots of bread so that's probs it!

How u doing?

Im 11.11.5 at the moment so iv got to stage I haven't lost much since like June! With being on Hols an then a second hol and then my bday it just messed everything up. And now I have got to stage were not tracking properly etc.. Need to fet strict again I want to be 11 stone 5 by end of october...that's like 7lbs in 4 weeks.

Are you going for slimming world? I have just now got to a stage also were I'm wearing size 12 jeans etc and I think as I'm becoming more content with my body I'm becoming less slack with myself...need a kick in the right direction ha

Xx
 
Wow well done you that's amazing! Yep I'm doing SW as it's easier for me to get to the classes and WW didn't really work for me!

Wow size 12 jeans and also in the 11s! Have u tried varying what you eat? Or simply filling? Are u considering SW?

Yeah I was so shocked size 12 newlook skinny jeans ha :) I tried a pair of my sisters size 10 shorts on they buttoned! But had a big belly hanging over so it needs to go!!

I just think I need a total junk detox. As I have been eating alot of crisps and snacks recently. Going to do my own thing till wi on Tuesday night...basically cereal, soups and proteins and veg. And then stick to my ww but get rid of the junk food and eat alot healthier!

I need to get sone exercise in too to start toning up but I am sooo unfit and I hate the gym :(

Slimming world does intrigue me.. But idk about the portion control bit as I am very into weighing my cereal and pasta etc! But I think it looks like it would be alot harder to snack on crisps etc which would be great for me ha

SW takes you away from junk! Lots of home cooking fresh fruit and veg and goodness! Don't worry about the portion sizes- if it helps change the size of your plate!

The superfree (fruit and veg) has to be at least 1/3rd of your plate so that doesn't matter, the free foods like the pasta potatoes etc needs to be 2/3rds but it's up to you how you control that! Once you have got your head around it SW is excellent!

I also like it as if you become too accustomed with one plan you can switch to any of the other 2!!!

I'm so pleased for you being able to fit into those clothes! I'm an 18 now and in the 14 stone bracket, so ashamed!!!

Weighed myself again this morning and I'm 13 12 and 1/4 which is looking like 14 on my leaders scales, I was 13 12.5 when I started WW in May.

Therefore as this is the heaviest I have ever been it's time for operation weight loss to begin!

I am starting out fresh today as well have ate like a piggie all week since after wi! Don't be disheartened as that will be the last time you will see that time...its going downnn :)

Xx
 
Oooof hopefully I never want to see a 14 on those scales again!

I'm going to do a cooked breakfast but do it all in frylight and remove the fat from the bacon etc which makes it free on SW, then I may have some soup before my Sunday dinner at 7 tonight! A good day!!!

I have my meals planned from Tuesday after I have been to WI on Monday so i am still not sure of the damage thats been done!

Good luck with the food today starkissed I'm sure you will do really well :d

Also just about to go on the internet and work out my tesco online shop!!
