Minilady's Diary... getting back on track

[minilady]

LOL Just noticed I'm the only person actively keeping a diary in the maintenance diary section


Where is everybody

Feeling very lonely now:wave_cry:

Me too. My GP is lovely and I know she'll try her best. After all I saved the nhs money by not accepting my place for CBT, so the buggers owe me
Well no harm in reminding her of this too.
The V V's thing is more complicated than merely cosmetic. They ache, they become inflamed (phlebitis) they cause ankle swelling which in turn stresses the skin which can lead to discoloration (nasty brown patches) & ultimately ulcers.
Ask any district nurse if she'd get her Vv's dealt with in middle age to avoid all the nasties in old age etc.

Sorry about hte ££££...sort of thought it'd be more modest than that.

Don't suppose your radio-5-live fat busting clinic does veins too?


Changing the subject completely I've cut a fringe into my hair I had a moment of madness and wandered what I'd look like with a fringe, before I knew it I'd cut a lump of hair off. Actually I quite like it, not sure what my hairdresser will make of it though.
Hairdresser be blowed!
you'll have to have new fridge magnets made!
( I just love the current pic though. I think you have the longest index finger I've ever seen)

Also aquired a treadmill One of my clients no longer wants it as they are moving and have no room, so she has given it to me Lol I haven't informed Scott of this new toy, I think he'll be a bit annoyed as our house isn't exactly the size of a mansion. My plan is to place it in the conservatory once the guinea pigs are back out in the garden.

Or....get a v large wheel & share it with the pigs.
I Bet Scott'll moan about the space it occupies but will then monopolise it himself

Lol! Getting a bit of a complex! Georgie was here for a nanosecond and then took off again.

Perhaps some of my more type before you think posts have scared everyone away Either that or I stink

Hiya Tracey

Sorry I deserted you!! I also felt a bit like I was rattling round in here, I got the impression that not many people visit the maintenance section. Also occurred to me that I might be better off in the members only section. Now I've found you I will make sure I pop by on a regular basis... just got to have a quick read through and catch up!!

Gxx

It sure is a lonely place here I feel I should stay put though just to show there is life after dieting

I think you're right not too many people read the maintenance forum.

I was joking though and there's no need to feel you have to pop in, although you know you are an honorary member of the maintenance forums now Besides I gatecrash all the forums

Now I've found you I aint going anywhere!!

Was interesting your post re clothes on Dancing's diary as I have the same mentality and wondered whether the novelty wears off, good to know that 11 months in you are still enjoying the pleasure of finding new things and choosing what to wear each morning!

Gxx

 

[BIG BIRDY]

I read your posts here,occasionally post, but just lately I have been flying by the seats of my pants and not posting much anyway! I will from now on then!!! Honest

 

[minilady]

move to the members only section and I'll read you .... I keep forgetting to look in here

I think I'll stay put. I know when I was nearing goal, I suddenly discovered there was a maintenance forum, never knew it existed before

Of course I wanted to read all I could to see how people managed their weight etc. KD has posted many threads with regards maintaining all about statistics etc. but there were never really many diaries actively being used.

It made me think crikey maybe noone successfully maintains and that's why it's so empty

So I'll stay here to prove it is possible, just in case there is someone who feels like I did when they near goal.

Now I've found you I aint going anywhere!!

I love shopping!!! It was a joyous day when I realised buying new clothes was more satisfying than a doughnut

I read your posts here,occasionally post, but just lately I have been flying by the seats of my pants and not posting much anyway! I will from now on then!!! Honest

Lol!

BB you are always welcome, and now you have your own diary, I can catch up your goings on too

Thanks girls you've made my day

I had a few on here, but ended up moving or deleting them because it got rather lonesome. You're doing well for replies though :clap: Glad you're going to hang around here

 

[canireallydothis!!]

yep, great to see you in here, I never got the hang of maintaining so I darent come in here Im a serial maintainer, better than a serial dieter I know but still not got there, never mind, great to see you in here x

PS do you still not smoke??

 

[x-Katie-x]

hmmm I like the idea of the swans, still rather have a magnet though

Re the loving shopping - I threw all my clothes out today that don't fit that were sat in my wardrobe, just left with 1 pair jeans, 1 pair black pants and 1 pair adidas bottoms and a few t-shirts .... then went shopping and was fearing the worst and came home with a total clothes shop of 2 white Gap t-shirts and 2 new bras .... that was it....... not got a clue what I'm gonna wear to work all next week - might need a couple of those swans strategically placed

Hi there, I come and read how it's going regularly. I felt the same about my so called maintenance diary. So called in my case as I'm above my target weight - but slowly making my way back down.

I leave my diary here, because when I was doing CD, it cheered me up to see that people didn't put the weight back on the instant they finished.

Also, one of the reasons I do a diary is that I noticed that people who posted maint diaries seemed to maintain more or less, but I often read posts from returners who had put the weight on and hadn't had a diary. So I kind of use the diary to help me understand that maintenance is what you do with daily choices and coming to post helps me face any weght gain faster.

But I do have trouble with what to post when all is going OK!

I have read an old one of yours I spent hours reading all the threads especially the statistical and experimental ones. They made for great reading and have to say at first I felt a little saddened at how hard it obviously is to not put on weight, but then turned it around and found they actually made me more determined to stay on track.

yep, great to see you in here, I never got the hang of maintaining so I darent come in here Im a serial maintainer, better than a serial dieter I know but still not got there, never mind, great to see you in here x

Not sure I've got the hang of it yet either, but all the time I can still fit into the new me clothes I'll stick around

PS do you still not smoke??

Unfortunately I'm still a smoker

Good plan ... I will do my best to remember you are here and read it every now and then - heck I may even post

It wont be long before you are in here with me

hmmm I like the idea of the swans, still rather have a magnet though

Lol!! I am still waiting for them to arrive! As soon as they come I'll pm you for your address and one will be on it's way to you

Good for you!!! I've been on so many diets and never did this, always thought I'd better keep things just in case I regained the weight Which of course I did.

This time decided to get rid of it, not sure why I felt differently But I think it helped to stay determined and on track.

I would offer to post swans with the magnet but fear postie may chop his fingers off and I'm sure I read somewhere if you tamper with the mail or the mailman punishment is beheading

As you didn't get all you wanted today, I reckon you deserve another shopping trip next weeked

That's how I feel also.

I totally agree! I kept a weight loss diary and I felt it helped me to stay on track, and the same goes for my maintenance diary too.

I am not the perfect maintainer and have my ups and downs, but as long as I still fit my clothes, I'm not too worried about a fluctuating couple of lb.

But I do have trouble with what to post when all is going OK!

I think that's why many don't keep a diary after weight loss. They feel everything is fine and so there is no need to write in it. I know I can go a couple of weeks not posting in mine, then a blip may happen and I need my diary crutch once more.

I think it is great you are staying put - in fact I think I may even join you!

I have been thinking about starting a diary thread and have been umming and aahhhhing about whether I should put it here or in the members only section - think when I get around to it I'll pop it in here.

Had a lovely me day today. Only had one client booked for this morning and she is a hairdresser, so popped to hers to do her weigh in (which was a good one) and have my grey speckled roots sorted out and a trim. Then off to Westwood cross for a small clothes shop Bought a lovely pair of sandals, cropped jeans and a top, so didn't go too mad.

Busy this evening with clients and a new starter.

Picked up my treadmill today, OMG it's huge!! I've positioned it in the conservatory and there's not much room for anything else. Scott's due home from Manchester tonight it'll be a nice surprise for him

Had a little run on it just to test it out! Oooohhh I love it, it's just like the one at our gym

Downloaded lots of Nickleback songs from Limewire this afternoon, so will jogging away tonight to that sexy voice, can't wait!

OohOohOooo I wanna be a rockstar

Tracey you could be my daughter - she's been a Nickelback fan and a Chad lover for years --- one of the best home movies I think we have is her giving it her all to How You Remind Me years ago in her bedroom, really good stuff.

Sounds like a lovely day you've had there, am happily envious of you for it - does you good to have days like that and in a way I'm always glad we don't always have them otherwise we wouldn't appreciate them.

Well I've been on my course and to be honest I've really enjoyed it - just hope I come out of it a better Leader ... or even a Leader to be honest. Got some homework to do so am gonna go do that now - what would martians/strangers/outside people see if they saw our service ...... lots of bloody good stuff is what I think they'd see - now just got to get that on flip chart paper in presentation speak so have to bin the bloody!

Hope your night turns out to be just as good as you day was xx

Enjoy your treadmill Tracey. We bought one a year ago, off the internet and when it came it was enormous, took up so much space in the living room, it was a bit of an eyesore! Got more room for it here but TBH haven't actually got around to using it yep - oops
