Day 1 and giving me a chance

Hi girlies,
Seems kidney infection is clearing or cleared, as feel better.....still got problem with my back but, it's slowly improving, am hoping to go to work tomorrow.....don't want to take anymore leave so early in the a/l year.
I work for a local borough and don't believe the papers when they say local government officers take tons of sick, etc......most of us take annual leave when poorly , it just makes life easier than having the Spanish Inquisition when poorly !!

Am planning to go back on my milkshakes and bars tomorrow....can't do this eating thing....though am planning to do WS for a couple of weeks, have ordered in Weight Watchers plastic dinners (yuk) but,I think this will be the best solution for a while. Going to have 2 shakes and meal with a bit of salad or green veg every day.

Hope everyone is well and losing. :) x
 
Poor you Jax.....hope you can get back on with it once better if that is what you wish to do. Hope you feel better soon too xx
 
How are things going Jax ?
:)
 
Hello girlies,
Oooooh how I have missed you all.
I have tried and tried and only lasted 2 or 3 days at the most...so didn't want to come on here making all sorts of promises and then letting myself down.

My weight went up...as expected and was 19.12 two weeks ago. So, have been swimming a lot, 4 times a week and trying to stay with 1500 calories, was rewarded with a 4lb loss last week but, put a pound on this week !! How mad is that! Have been burning , no less then, 700 cals a swim session, if not more...so should have been rewarded with a 2lb loss this week but, seems not.

Am so very tempted to have another go at Exante...just can't face the failures that I incur !
Working solutions would be a better choice, I think, as I want to carry on with at least 3 swims a week, especially as I have just bought a 3 month pass!
I have 12 packs of Weight Watchers meals in freezer, so don't want to throw them out?
Ooooh what to do, what to do? !!!
I can't be waiting around for a 2lb loss every 2 weeks !! More like torture !! :)
 
After a night of worrying about letting myself down and frightened that I have got into a bad cycle of dieting, binge ,diet...I am confident this morning that I can sort this out. Maybe I wont ever be a more normal weight but, that doesn't mean I have to stay this weight (19.8) and have a miserable time of it all.
Yes, I have failed myself many times and there's no getting away from that but, it doesn't mean I can't accept smaller goals for myself.

So , I have set myself a goal of 5 weeks as I know I can acheive that , which will take me to near the time I go to France for a couple of days for a birthday treat!

I will start off on Working Solutions, just the one meal a day and milkshakes.

Will start tomorrow as am decorating today and need to keep my brother supplied with bacon butties, biscuits and tea....will be fool hardy of me to state I am on Day one !!!

Looking forward to reading through your diaries....missed being here, feels like being 'home' on this board. x
 
welcome back. this forum is amazing. when ive went hiding in the past it always amazes me how much support is there when i return. good luck and im here if you need any words of encouragement. roll on tomorrow. xx
 
That's the spirit Jax- we're all still around with good and bad days but keeping at it is the key. I love Rachel's mantra that if you have a slip up then get right back on it rather than waiting for the next day or the next day etc. Good luck for tomorrow and enjoy the most of those bacon butties today. We're all here to support you and spur you on xxx
 
Thank you Lady-G ! Love this board, it was lonely out there by myself . Lol.
I am excited about seeing those scales move fasteer than they have been! Have pulled those milkshakes out from the cupboard and have them all lined up in a box, ready to do their magic.:)

Am off out for sand-paper and more paint...not the best way to spend a days leave but, has to be done!
 
Good luck Jax :).
I hope WS works for you.
Have fun decorating ..... I have nearly finished mine for the time being :p
 
Welcome back Jax and good luck.....I am sure you can do it chick..xx
 
Day1 well and truely started, phew.

Ooooh I saw myself in the webcam today, oh my it's not pretty, it was a quick flash of what other people must see and it's being so over-weight that has caused my folds round my neck,etc.
Hope that improves in next few weeks :(

Will be swimming 3 or 4 times a week as I have come to love it, it's low impact and once you're in the water, nobody can see how much you weigh !

Managed to have 2 shakes so far and am about to have a meal that will account for 40g of carbs...so should be fine. I need to read up on Exante's advice on WS and not just assume I know.
Weight this morning was 19.10...so have my work cut out over the next few weeks.

Am hungry, so best go have that meal.
Hope to catch up with everyone's diaries later in the evening .
 
Is 40g of carbs not a bit high for WS ?
 
I would be the same Jax, a small meal would make me even hungrier. TS is the only way I can do this diet, its all or nothing. I hope the rest of your evening went ok and that WS suits you.xxx
 
WS is harder, I swear!
I have given it a go and I'm not happy ! Have I got another go of TS in me ????
Yes I blinking have!

Can't start till Saturday but, am really keen to get started. Need to order bars as I know I will need them as I have eaten so badly lately, can't see me starting off without them/

So, restart day is Saturday 6th August. I don't know how long I will do it for, I would love to do a Pauline Quirk and lose 7st in 6 months but, am setting my goal much lower.

I am so excited at the thought of seeing those scales move a lot faster, can't wait for those pink sticks !! Woo-hoo ! :)
 
Well done for keep trying chick!:D

You can do this. I will struggle along with you!!:)

Good luck for your re-start tomorrow...xxx
 
Thanks for your support, yet again !
I'm all fired up and ready to go!
I couldn't get my bars in time so spent a while trying to read the tiny printing on the back of a Marks and Spencers Mango, apricot and nut bar....it's 220 cals and carbs are 24..not great but, not the worse I have seen,just didn't want to have any excuse to have a nibble on anything else tomorrow.
Got my 'very determined' mojo back.....can't do the WS programme, just too many temptations.
So, am having a blow out this evening, last drop of wine for a while!
Bring on tomorrow...I'm ready for ya !!!! :)
 
Enjoy that final blow out missy and here's looking forward to seeing you back tomorrow all geared up and ready to go.....you can do this babe xx
