Weekly weigh 72.1kg. This is 0.5kg less than last week's weigh-in (but more than I weighed on Friday owing to the birthday binge!).

I posted on this thread ages ago in September complaining how I had gained weight and needed to lose some. A week later I was diagnosed with a very large ovarian cyst and needed surgery! ![[Eek!]](eek.gif) NO wonder I was looking so fat (looking at photos from just before then I looked almost pregnant!) and had put on weight . Post surgery about 7lb lighter! However I still have weight to lose which really is fat. In the last month or so I have taken up walking for half an hour 3 times a week, which is probably not enough exercise but is better than the no exercise at all I was doing before.
I have returned to my own low carb version of doing Weightwatcher's points counting and starting from 168 lb have gone down 5lb in just over a week. I know that the weightloss in the first week is mainly water and now I need to keep it up to lose the fat round my middle. I hope to lose at least a pound each week with the aim of being no more than 147 lb by the summer ie end of June. Then maybe those clothes I like which are lurking unworn in the wardrobe might actually fit me again....

Welcome back Lucia! and I agree that that's not a very good way to lose 7lbs ![[Ultra confused]](graemlins/confused2.gif) so we're glad to see you again
Half an hour's exercise three times a week is a very good start ![[Big Grin]](biggrin.gif)
Mrs. S, still got a long way, still got a long way to go! (thank you Gerry Rafferty)

Go for it Lucia!
Meanwhile, I did my weekly weigh-in this morning and discovered I have lost 3 pounds. I think this may be because I had to do a workout on one of my fast days, because I haven't been particularly careful about sticking to the diet the rest of the time...
I did the workout just before my normal lunchtime and wasn't hungry at all until afterwards. Then I felt hungry for most of the afternoon, but managed to stick to the fast without feeling too terrible. Not sure I'd recommend it on a regular basis though.

Welcome back Lucia! Glad you are better now.
I always do my exercise prior to eating, even on fast days, as it is more likely to break down the fat reserves then apparently.

I check product by product where I can. I've even gone so far as to contact the manufacturer if the information wasn't available online.
However, as current thought (or the most recent that I've seen) is that the cholesterol level in the food does not increase the consumer's cholesterol levels, I have stopped worrying about that and now I just look out for saturated or trans fats - which is where the danger lies. That is mostly included in the MFP database, as the calorie-counters are interested in cutting fats.
As for salt, I try to avoid processed food and cook mostly without salt, so have not been worrying if that isn't included in the product information.

Having weighed myself this morning, I have too! I am 71.2 kg, a loss of over 7lbs since Jan 1st. Yesterday's weight was just a blip.

I'm feeling still unmotivated... Put on 500g last week. MrD is interested in the 5:2 diet (though, TBH, I do have my doubts about whether he could really stick to it. I know I'll struggle!) so that may be coming into our lives in the near future. I think I'll need 3 meals a day though, even if one is just veggie soup.

Saw the health advisor on Tuesday and we went through my food diary. It had been a bad week and therefore included a lot of sweets and snacks and fatty comfort food, but she was pleased I had been honest.
We transcribes the diary onto an empty Eatwell Plate and compared. She then gave me advice as to where to make some changes. The main thing is to go ate my own speed otherwise I will get fed up and miserable and then give up.
It's now Saturday and whilst I'm managing OK I feel hungry from time to time. Then again, I feel less bloated and sluggish than normal ![[Smile]](smile.gif) I'm going back on Tuesday with a newly completed food diary to discuss. I'm also seeing someone at the gym on Tuesday morning to discuss the Heelers scheme my doctor has agreed I should start

After a somewhat slack weekend of not really sticking to my 'Points' I was pleased to find I have still managed to knock off a couple of pounds overall in the last week. I suspect I may pay for my indiscretions with less weight loss this week. Anyway I am back on the wagon today and managed to resist the rather desperate temptation of almond croissants from the local patisserie bought by one of my colleagues for us all at coffee break. ( I LOVE those croissants so I feel quite virtuous at having managed to refuse!) Also turned down the offer of pizza at lunchtime and made myself a salad instead.
I feel these are both progress. One of the things I need to get over is feeling miffed when others are eating something I like but I'm not. I find this quite a struggle most of the time...Just got to keep reminding myself of my goal.
Also dug out an old exercise video and did a half hour workout on Saturday. My legs still ache! But I'm going to try adding in a workout at weekends on top of my 3 half hour walks each week as I think I need to get something a bit more aerobic into my programme. We will have to see if I can keep that up...

A fast day here so breakfast of black coffee and I've just had some soup for lunch. I'm keeping myself occupied by decluttering (I've cleared and tidied my work and study cupboard, thrown out loads of sewing magazines and have 50 books in my trolley for the recycling bank). I've done my weekday aerobics too - a regular bit of exercise does make all the difference with weight loss, I find.

Me neither, Boogie. I'm not set up for fasting - if I don't get fed regularly*, I turn VERY pale and look/feel as if I might keel over at any moment! So, I think I'm better just trying to exercise more (eight VERY muddy miles on Saturday!) and keep off the calorie-dense stuff.

Well, I have lost the 7oz I gained last week...put like that it doesnt sound very much to gain (or to loose) but at least it has gone.
I have the psychological 1 1/2lbs to shed to get to the "2 stone off" mark, shall focus of that, rather than anything else. (And after that I shall only have 1 1/2 stone to shed to get to goal, and an urgent conversation with an alteration tailor regarding some clothes!)

I lost about three pounds in about four days... but it was a hideous dose of food poisoning so I don't recommend it!
I'm nearly back onto normal diet again and hoping to ease back into healthy eating.
A bit comforted by the people admitting their comfort eating. I had a comforting Pieminster chicken pie for lunch.
Keep it up all!

We're doing it too - Mondays and Fridays...should you want to know what we're eating, you can go to Blog 2 in my signature.
Tomorrow is egg for brekkie/ Dhal for main meal/ veggie soup for supper...I thought having the main meal midday might help "see us through" the day, but I think it's going to take a bit of experimentation, before we're happy with it.

Thanks Dormouse - what a good idea to blog about it!
There are three problems I foresee.
1. Addictive 'hunger'.
2. Real hunger.
3. 'Making up' by overeating the next day.
I'm keeping a diary today and noting the times I feel 1. and 2. to help me on the way. I suspect tomorrow will be a day requiring higher willpower!

Top tip: Breakfast for me is always 50g dry weight of whole-grain porridge now (190 cals), whether on fast day or not. Anything else just doesn't seem to stave off the hunger later on. I make it thick - with mostly water + a splash of skimmed milk - so I have to take time over eating it, which seems to make a difference to the degree of lingering satisfaction. Sweetener of choice is a teaspoon of agave syrup, which is low GI and adds less than 20 calories to the total.
On fast days I only vary the evening meal. Fish or chicken with a heap of veg, sometimes a mashed-potato-topped pie (see earlier post re this) or a favourite is a two-egg omelette with a dollop of low-fat cottage cheese mixed with the eggs and topped with a various combination of ham, mushrooms, peppers and onions.

My evening meal is similar, fish or chicken with veg, occasionally lentil stew instead. But I don't do breakfast anyway so happily miss that and just have black coffee. Instead I have soup for lunch, a covent garden one at below 150 calories.

Some friend of Corporal Punishment and Private Matters, I believe.
I'm trying to concentrate on attitude and frame of mind and not on numbers and weights. So I have no idea what I weigh, which is somehow freeing... though I have just eaten a large number of biscuits. There were different sorts in the tin and it was my duty to try one of each.

That served me well until recently. Now my weight loss is so obvious that people comment on it and they assume I'm trying to lose weight for my son's wedding in the summer, and to some extent that is what it has now become. I am finding it really hard to 'forget' the numbers and weights and am struggling not to slip back into the old mindset of diet=deprivation which has led to resentment, and then to abandoning any dietary self-control in the past.
I must find a way to replace the word 'diet' with 'nutrition' in my mental vocabulary!
