Dis Dieters, week beginning 24th March 08

[Netty]

That's very impressive, Jeanette given that you can't be very mobile! I gained weight in the first place because I damaged the ligaments in both hips a few years ago and being off my feet for several months meant I piled on the pounds - so I'm very impressed...

Your right i'm not mobile only can go room to room! instead of having 3 big meals i divide mine up into snacks. I found at one point that i was eating an evening meal because I'd made the dinner for everyone, and i ate mine even though i wasnt that hungry, so i just now eat when i feel hungry and not by the time it says on the clock! and at the moment it seems to be working

Sounds good! I've been reading a lot lately about snacking rather than eating 3 regular meals a day. I've just printed off a couple of diet plans based on this idea - one where you eat 4x per day and another where you eat 6x per day. The idea is to keep your body (and metabolism) guessing which I know from past experience works best for me... When I get back from hols, I'm definitely going to try that regime. Not today tho' - I've just had a chicken salad sandwich for me lunch...

Well who has eaten all the easter eggs then !

Last weeks weight loss was 18.5lb

Good luck this week everyone

Not so much the Easter eggs, but lots of lunch/dinners out over Easter. Know i've over induldge so can't bear to get weighed, it will depress me. Good luck to everyone for this week & well done to those of you who have not sucumbed to Easter treats & those of uou who have, hope you enjoyed it & good luck this week.

Awww Sharon, I know how you feel! I felt all negative a couple of weeks ago (I'd eaten loads and my clothes seemed even tighter than usual) and wasn't going to weigh-in but after a little gentle persuasion from Jeanette (Netty) I braved the scales and TBH it wasn't as bad as I expected...

See how you feel at the end of the week and maybe try and face the scales then - sometimes however depressing it seems, it's better to confront the issue... Sending you plenty of and fingers crossed you have a good week...

 

[Laurafoster]

Not a good week for me, put on 2lbs!! I knew that the combination of a birthday and easter was not going to be a good one!!

Oh well back on the diet now and hope to shift atleast 3lbs this week to make up for it!

Good luck everybody!

For a birthday/Easter combo, 2lbs doesn't seem too awful, Laura! Good luck for next week...

I know how you feel, I had a wonderful Italian meal on Friday, a huge full English breakfast on Saturday, a turkey dinner on Sunday and a Chinese for lunch on Monday, but I'll be facing those dreaded scales on Friday Good Luck with your next weigh-in

I agree with Karen, hopefully it won't be as bad as you think

That's not so bad after your birthday and Easter celebrations Good luck with shifting 3lbs next week Laura

maintaining is just as hard as losing the weight !

Totally agree, you think once you have lost the weight it will be easy. I could do with someone moving in for a week to cook some different meals.

 

[KayleeUK]

2lb gain for me whoops...........

Onward and downwards!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[CustardTart]

That is so true! I honestly thought it would be quite straightforward - especially as I'd taken a while to lose the pounds - but the minute I took my eye off the ball (sorry about that, there's footie on TV) I gained weight... Oh well, I've learnt my lesson...

Nevermind Kaylee Good Luck with shifting those 2lbs for next week

My problem is that I am either dieting or pigging out - I don't have any middle ground, let's hope I learn something here

 

[Dimplenose]

Having got to goal a fortnight ago I've now put on 2lbs!!! Oh well, back to tracking this week.
