Total Solution Mere's Diary

[jael001]

Oh goodness, those are unusual allergies. I have food allergies (mainly fruit and veg and some nuts) but with so many different things I can imagine how difficult cooking must have been. I've had my allergies for more than 20 years now but my mum still forgets what I can and can't eat lol. If you can't have salt, what about salty foods? Like the Boullion for example, which is quite salty without needing salt added.

I do have bullion sometimes but I can only take the unsalted variety!

ah yes, the unsalted one wont have the same effect.

Well diet went completely out of the window yesterday but this morning is the first time in weeks that I have not woken with a thumping headache so I am happy. I will try four packs a day for the next 4 weeks and see where that takes me. In that time I have my grandsons birthday party and a meal out with my girl friends but other than that my social (eating) calendar is empty! X

Oh I forgot about your salt allergy. I'm glad you're feeling better Mere.

Thanks Angel, have had porridge and a bar so far today. I am now drinking a shake, also had at least 2 litres of water but the headache is back!

4 packs a day sounds sensible Mere. The calories shouldn't make that much of a difference to your losses if any. Can't live on 600 calories for ever can we.

Great news about the size 10 jeans x

 

[Mere]

Wish it was size 10 jeans. It was size 10 gym clothes which are Lycra so a bit stretchy. Only thing is they are very unforgiving and show up every lump and bump! I won't be in my size 10 jeans until I lose the last 4 lbs. X

WI this morning up 1/2 lb from Monday but down 1/2 lb from last Thursday's official WI. Quite pleased with that considering the over indulgence of Tuesday and the fact that I am now eating an extra pack. So recording my weight as 10st 3lb with 5 lbs to get back to target which I want to achieve by 4 weeks today. x

Made a mistake recording my weight, hubby noticed because luckily my scales record the last weight. So my weight is 10 St 2 lb a pound down from last WI and 4 lbs to get to target. Really pleased because I now have 4 lbs to lose in 4 weeks. x

it's hard to imagine those last 4lbs will make a huge difference to your size but I guess it can when you weigh so little. Well done on your loss this week.

 

[Mere]

The 4 lbs will mean the difference between wearing size 12s which are a tad big and size 10s which are a tad wee. It also takes me out of the overweight category. At the moment I have a BMI of 25.8 I think. It is also psychological, since that was my original target I want to get back there!

Great loss Mere. 4lbs in 4 weeks, you can do it. Adding food with shakes or a fourth pack is wise if you still feel unwell. Is your BP low? Do you know what's causing the headaches? I only get one when coming off carbs.

 

[Mere]

No idea what is causing the headaches but suspect I am not eating enough for the amount of exercise I am doing. My blood pressure is ok. According to my fitness pal I am eating 1200 too few calories every day! The weight should be falling off me but instead it is creeping down! x

4lbs to go is fabulous Mere
I do hope the headache don't last.

 

[Mere]

Thanks Marge. Headache has finally lifted now that I am eating an extra pack, I think I was just not eating enough. Had a great wardrobe sort through this morning so all size 14s are now in the guest room out of the way. My wardrobe only holds 12s and 10s now. I have 1 pair of size 10 jeans and two blouses that are a bit on the snug side but I can get into all the rest of my 10s. So well chuffed. x

Well done Mere.
A good wardrobe sort out is so cathartic

 

[Susie58]

Brilliant Mere, be proud x

 

[Mere]

Thanks Susie, I am pleased but I am now thinking of some different types of goals. Will post them once I have lost the 4 lbs. x
