At the start of a long road

[CAPRICORN]

Hi there

Good luck for your weigh in tomorrow :cross:

Im doing SW too and LOVE it.. like you I have done just about every diet going -and have always been ON or OFF a diet -ON I can lose it no problem OFF and I piled it back on again -with VAT . This is the very first time I have managed to keep going and have no doubt at all that I WILL get to target.

SW for me has finally shown me a way that I can see me eating for the rest of my life quite easily -I hope you find the same.... its so depressing to have a constant battle isn't it :sigh2:.
Its great that you have a supportive Dr, and one who is willing to keep in touch with you to make sure you are ok :clap:

I keep a diary on here to "shedding the wobble" so if you are ever stuck or just want a chat (or need help to sleep ) feel free to come and have a natter...

Have a lovely evening....

Hi Capricorn, thanks for reading! Wow, you have lost loads of weight! I am off now to read your diary

 

[dacuckoo]

I've been feeling really odd today, not sure if I'm coming down with something or coming on with something but I feel a bit bloated and lethargic. I've been in a bit of a weird eating mood too, because I feel bloated I'm not feeling empty in my tummy but I am getting hungry then a bit confused about what I want to eat. Still I have soldiered through and managed to eat all three meals already! I haven't used my hex a yet or any syns so I am saving them because........(drumroll)......tonight is telly night! yay! waterloo road, life of riley, apprentice then you're fired! brilliant! Most evenings I am way more likely to be online than sit and watch telly but I am looking forward to this tv marathon and I will be able to have some munchies so all the better. I will probably have laughing cow light triangles as my hex A because I used one earlier so that saves me syning it and I think I'll have them either with crackerbread or ryvita and some sliced apple.

I feel like I have wished this week away waiting for weigh in tomorrow. Now I am feeling a bit bleurgh I don't think I have lost as much weight as at the begining of the week but I'm sure I'll have lost a few pounds none the less. If I haven't then hmmm...I don't know! Oh well, at least I have kept a food diary so if it comes to that I will be able to show C and she can let me know if/where I have been going wrong.

Hi
I started SW EE today after years of yo-yoing all over the place between Atkins,WW,RC, Calorie Counting and half starving meself. I also get that bloated feeling but unless I drink loads of water I too don't get to see the toilet much either. Im also not good with big amounts of wheat based food, pasta/bread etc. My first weigh in is next Tuesday along with a compulsory lose weight feel great exercise class ( that nearly killed me off lol) hope we can all help each other with xxx <3

Hi dacuckoo

how are you finding the plan so far? I hope you are enjoying it! Is the excercise class run by your SW group? I haven't heard of those before, I think swimming and walking are about my limit at the moment, I fancy doing zumna or something like that but I don't think I am ready for it yet.
Weigh in tonight...am looking forward to finding out one way or another! I have been 100% good (at least if I have gone off plan it has been because I have misunderstood something) I think the only thing I haven't managed is to eat all my syns but I have used a minimum of 5 each day so that should be fine and I haven't been trying to deny myself them, it's just worked out that way. Are you doing a diary as well? xxx

The exercise is part of the lose weight feel great referral by the NHS. You get 12 weeks of SW and exercise class free if you have a high BMI. I also go gym 3 times a week cardio and weights and swimming 4 times, joined a gym 2 months ago and turned into a blatant gum bunny lol :-D I dont do an online diary but have to do a paper one for class I think you will be pleasantly surprised tonight with your W.I......... Don't forget to let us know, fingers, toes, eyes and legs crossed for you lol x x x Lisa
