Daz FINALLY has a food diary
- Thread starter dazd1970
- Start date
Yep I'm roaming around the 12 stone mark too. Portion control ... what's that ? lol
Its really getting me down now Kay. All weekend i just stayed in the flat, locked away from the offers of going out and being with civilisation, just about had enough of it now. But hey, im sure i will get through it.

Sorry you've been feeling like that Daz, I can relate. However I feel individually we all feel we are worse off and perhaps others are doing better. From where I'm looking you score higher on effort marks than me because at least you are trying each week, mine is more a case of self sabotage
. I don't know why I become complacent sometimes, I have 1 good week and then 3 crappy ones. I wont bore you but most recently the hospital has been messing me around with my op date, they keep bumping me down the que (that's nhs for you ), and I hate not knowing where I stand. I can't resume work until op is done so I'm stuck sat at home, have become an indoor creature bit like yourself. Spend most of my time either cooking, cleaning or chatting on mins, tv and sleep, don't go out much. I used to do gym but doc told me to stop until after op, so stuck at home basically. I try and look at new recipes, new ways of doing things with the plan, just to mix it up a bit, but the losses are not like I was getting last year. I'm beginning to think, do our bodies get to a point where they will stop losing ? Maybe I have set my sights too high on my ideal target figure, should I call it a day soon ? Oh decisions decisions, what do u think Mr D ? xx

Was watching DIY sos, kind of puts things into perspective when you see what others have to deal with.
I have been saying for a bit now that its as if the body is just saying "Nope, that's it, no more coming off no matter what you do to me".

Personally id say ..... never give up, Its not what you want deep down so you still wont be happy! I just said this to Kathryn tonight about setting an interim target. I always refused to do it because its not where I wanted to be, call me stubborn/determined I wanted to be a certain number of stones and wouldnt give in until I got there
Along the way my son kept saying " mam maybe its your body telling you your at your optimum weight" - well my body may have been but my head wouldnt allow it lol

Yep I know I wont be happy if I call it a day, but some days u do lose patience lol
xxAt no point have i said that i am giving up, i have said that i have had enough of getting nowhere. I have an interim target, 12 stone, should have been there, in the words of George Michael, last Christmas. And then at 11 stone by my birthday, 2 months ago. Failed that as well obviously.
I know i can lose more because i have a belly that makes me look like im pregnant. But no matter what i do it is just not shifting.
I come here to vent. Its a weight loss forum where i can freely do that. Typing crap in here helps, gives me somewhere to shout out my frustrations. That is all that i am doing.

We all do hun - those are the days when you just gotta force yourself to go on, cos you know the next day will be a better one and you will feel so much better for having done it x
Helloooo, all ok here thanks. Not sure about weigh in, ive lost track. I think that i lost a lb again, may have been 2. Either way, same old story, back to just over 170 lb and no going below it.
You ok?

Boo to the scales :-( are you still keeping it basic?
Yeah not bad thanks - just settling my tea lol I made double decker turkey burgers they were lush.
All i ate last week was omelettes and chicken with rice or pasta, as well as cereal for breakfast. It worked, in that last Sunday evening i had got up to 176 and by Friday i was 172, so 4 lb was gone, but i still had a glitch on Thursday where i went up instead of down. Just have no idea what is going on.
I will have to look into them myself, once i have some turkey mince.
Come on Kay, i won't bite tonight, promise.

Are you on any meds? could it be them?
Id never used turkey mince until a couple of weeks ago after seeing Kathryn use it, I have to say its really tasty.
Only Clopidogrel and a statin each day, and i was on them when i lost the first 3 and a half stone, so that is not the issue i wouldn't think. Its all on the belly, its as if it just will not allow me to lose what is essentially the beer gut from 20 years of drinking. And yet, it is going down in size. I can't get my head around it.
Turkey mince is nice, although a little limiting in what can be done with it. I made the spicy bean burgers the other day, got 8 out of it, as per recipe. Still have 6 left.
