Abi's weightloss diary - post jaw surgery

thanks gem. i have had some blinding headaches this week. i think i've been straining my eyes. i've been verytired and working with excel spreadsheets. have kept on the straight and narrow but that old hankering for a pizza is creeping in...
 
Sorry to hear you've had headaches - can you ease back for a while? x
 
i have gem. i don't have any work on until next week now. and i've only done a few hours over the past couple of days. it isn't often i have to pull mammoth amounts of time at the pc staring at tiny numbers. so it's no problem really :)

planning some naff tv and some snackajacks now i think :)

howdy. well after my week of being super good i jumped on the scales at group expecting to be awarded with my shiny shiny sticker... to a 1.5lb gain. gutted. so so gutted.

i handed in my food diary which i have been super super honest about, no fooling myself this time around and she rang me today to say she is genuinely baffled. she would have expected a good loss from my food diary. so i'm carrying on this week and seeing what happens. this happened three weeks ago and the following week i lost 3.5lbs, having mysteriously gained 2 the week before. so maybe this is just the strange rhythm my body has started up. lose a couple of weeks, gain a week, big loss week after. as long as i keep losing i don't mind. but i had gone below 16st, and now i'm over it again. and that sucks.

ah well. i will be under it again next week.

So sorry to hear that Abz - you were so proud of your loss (((Hugs))) it'll happen again x
 
Dieting just isn't always an exact science. Regardless of what it looks like on paper, do you feel that you really are cutting back? I don't know, there are lots of things you can try to shake it up a bit...........not eating after 6pm, exercise, even just a brisk walk round the block before breakfast -- seriously I read somewhere that you burn off more fat if you exercise before brekkie! Must admit, I thought of trying this one this morning but maybe tomorrow morning.........
Fingers crossed for next week! I know what it's like with a gain............feel your pain!
 
thanks guys. i actually did a lot more exercise than usual last week too. it has been suggested that i didn't drink enough water to compensate for that, so fluid retention, plus totm (i think it is) so fluid retention, plus silly painkillers, and fluid retention so if all this is the case then i'm a big walking bag of water... or more so than usual.

so drink more this week.

i have really cut back. if i counted up my calories i'm sure i would be at a large defecit. but b*llocks if i'm going to do that!!

Certain painkillers make it difficult to lose weight - check it out - I don't know whether its through waster retention but either way you could be dealing with a double whammy here Abz. Keep the faith - you're doing great x
 
i know gem. i took some that made me gain about 5-7lbs in one week whilst being good. i stopped taking them... ha.

it's all going well. went to the cinema and took my snackajacks with me.

foods i avoided today for the betterness of my waistline and so i could eat snackajacks and mikado tonight:

sausage roll, coldslaw, sticking toffee pudding, chocolate pretzels and several different types of biscuit. oh. and something from millie's cookies. all of these were offered to me today and i managed not to eat any of them. yay for an addiction to evening mikado :D

I have a compensation method too - if I want this I won't eat that. I also allow myself slack, usually at the weekend and then evict the inevitable squatters at the earliest possible - its a method that worked before and left me not feeling deprived so there is no reason it won't work this time x
 
i don't feel deprived at all. of course sometimes i want to fall face down in some kind of stodgy pudding, but generally i get my fix of junk every evening and i'm happy with that :) i know that slimming world works. it has always worked wonderfully for me. and then i've gone off the rails for months and gained it all back. but that's my fault. because nobody can not gain weight whilst living on cake and pizza.

this time i have been more dedicated, more exact, than i've ever been. eveything is measured. everything is written down. my food diary is handed in every week and it's completely honest :) so it has to work. last week must just be a blip.

You know what you have to do Abz and you seem pretty much in the zone to do it - Good luck xxx
 
thanks gem. i think i am. if i don't lose this week we're going to investigate some other things. but i think it should be all good :)

Morning Abz - good luck for a loss this week x
 
well it's weigh in night again. wish me luck. i've eaten out twice this week. have chosen wisely and left five syns for just in case oil etc each time. i ate the same thing both times too, ha. at the same place. my mum has just moved into a new house and doesn't have a pot, pan or plate until her stuff arrives from scotland at the weekend. so eating out was the option.

i have been really good again this week. if i haven't lost weight tonight i am going to be traumatised!!

abz xx
 
I wish you luck Abz - but if by any chance you haven't lost this week, don't be traumatised - its nature's way of balancing out before the next loss x
 
howdy howdy. well. i lost 3lbs and got my shiny shiny sticker. so that was the 1.5 mysterious gain last week plus another 1.5lbs. so i am a week behind in weight loss really, but at least it's going down again. i have now lost a stone. it has taken me since august, ha. but there have been lots of big events in the way. slowly and steady, at least it's going. given that this has happened twice now, three weeks apart each time, both times with no obvious reason and i haven't changed how i ate or what i did, i think i may have to just take on board that i may have some weird and wonderful cycle that my body enjoys taunting me with.

i need to up my exercise. i know this. and this is something that can easily be done. i have a ruddy all-singing, all-dancing exercise bike just behind me that i use, but only now and again. so that's the plan.

hope all is going well for you guys.

Aw well done.............so pleased for you :D Slow and sure is good......it means it is much more likely to stay off and now you can see that this just seems to happen with you and you just have to carry on regardless you will know not to panic if it happens again!
 
Not a race Abz - just a big ole journey and you are on it and progressing nicely. Glad you got your big shiney sticker this time x
