[sona1980]

Lolz Sorry gals, just to clear up my B-day is tomorow 7th august.. i got the chocs early in the post from work (they send me 4 lil hotel chocs every year in the post!) Thanks anyway i will keep ur b-day wishes and use them tomorow! hehe


Katie - I have to be reserved, ive actually got reallly bad teeth at the moment whenever i eat somic sweet my teeth n gums hurt! they are working as a deterant but i really should get them checked! I only had a little nibble as im not really keen on Hotel Chocolate have u ever had it? its dark chocolate and its really strong in taste! im more a cadbury gal myself! Im loving the calorie counting site its reallly good!! its also helped me ween off some foods i was having!! and yes seeing the fat in some food just makes me think "no nno".

Jane- Thanks hun!!! what figs are u refering to? lolz Im really enjoying cal counting i find it easier than actually counting points!! believe it or not its made me make better choices.. also trying to stay in the 5g fat per 100g rule. And thats not easy! hows ur cal counting going? Im using my fitness pal which one of the gals recomended here.. u should try it with ur cal counting and let me know how u gt on?

STBYM- thank you!!! to be honest i duno if i feel like celebrating turning 29!!! it takes me 1 year closer to 30!!

Did anyone ever watch that episode of friends when they flash back on TURNING 30?? Thats what im going through right now... to quote joey "why me?!?!?"

Lols well as they say with age comes widome... well for some ppl anyway!! im hoping with age comes better health in my case and better choices.

Catch up soon gals, thanks again for ur b-day wishes! *hugz*

Hey peeps!!

no food diary today! i know its terrible but its my b-day and im having a day off! Im still taking my tablets and im not gona eat myself stupid but im not having a "diet day" coz i will end up messing it up and feeling crap and spoiling my day!

Had my cereal and toast brekki, spicy indian rice for lunch and i duno what im having for dinner! Got myself a nice strawberry desert from the canteen at work! Already orderd hubby not to get a cake as that would be toooo much!

Went to docs this morning for my monthly weigh in... although my scale says i have lost 3lbs since last month (now 12.7) his said i had lost none!! i was sooo annoyed.. every month i tell him his scale is wrong. For starters its 2lbs lighter than my digital scale. His is an old school scale with lines and u have to count them along to get the weight!! So off i went to boots scales. (this is the scale i started my weight loss journey with) and accoring to that scale my weight is 12.6! its taken me 1 year and 1 month to lose full 2 stones... (started at 14.6 after having baby)

Iv decided to weight myself on boots scales once a month now after the docs weigh in. He has given me tablets for one more month but i dont think he will next month unless i have a GREAT loss!

Im off on hol on monday and will try my best to stay on track and when i get back im going to kill it for three weeks solid!!

Wish me luck! xx

:birthday: hunni!!

Dont apologise, I CERTAINLY won't be having a food diary on my birthday!! or i might but it def wont have nowt healthy on it!!

The strawberry dessert sounds divine! and you DEF shouldve treated yourself to cake - it's your birthday!! only once a year!

Aw hun, don't be disheartned, I would just go by Boots scales, thats what im doing, my digital scales, my normal dial ones, the doctors and boots were ALL different with the doctors weighing me at my lightest to begin with, so i'm weighing weekly-fortnightly on boots scales, keeping the print outs then taking them to the doctors to show her when i get weighed. im lucky that i dont need to be weighed until 12 weeks time so hoping for a big loss by then...at least i'll have plenty of printouts to show her by then! lol!

now you've got your first Boots printout, why dont you weigh on that one every month BEFORE you go to the doctors?? that way you'll have something to take in to show them in case there's shows a STS again??

Don't be disheartened with taking a year to lose 2stone - that's absolutely fab! that 2 whole stone OFF and not on or STS!! AND you've stuck @ it, don't you feel determined and proud?? you should!!

Just go by the Boots scales so you dont be disheartened and keep going for it!! you'll be at goal in no time! Remember baby weight is different and it took us 9months to put it on so 12months to get it off is no time! xx

Have a fab time on your holiday, where are you going? ne where hot?

Dont stress too much about the diet when you're away ((even skinny mini's go mad on hols and pig out - i know coz my friends are all sz8 and they eat more than me on hols!))

when you get bk then you can get bk on it and KICK ASS!! we;ll see you shaking your goal weight 138lb ass in here in no time!!

:birthday: hunni!!

Thanks!!!

Dont apologise, I CERTAINLY won't be having a food diary on my birthday!! or i might but it def wont have nowt healthy on it!!

lol i knew i wouldnt be able to keep it healthy! i did realllly well untill i got home! then i had BISCUITS with my tea and i had fried chicken, pizza and CHOCOLATE CAKE. We didnt go out in the end as my lil boy was being fussy and i didnt want to go out without him! so we stayed home and got take out for 3 diff places!! was really great! hubby couldnt help himself and got me a small choc cake with candles! flowers and a nice card from my baby!! was sooo sweet!

The strawberry dessert sounds divine! and you DEF shouldve treated yourself to cake - it's your birthday!! only once a year!
i did i did!!

Aw hun, don't be disheartned, I would just go by Boots scales, thats what im doing, my digital scales, my normal dial ones, the doctors and boots were ALL different with the doctors weighing me at my lightest to begin with, so i'm weighing weekly-fortnightly on boots scales, keeping the print outs then taking them to the doctors to show her when i get weighed. im lucky that i dont need to be weighed until 12 weeks time so hoping for a big loss by then...at least i'll have plenty of printouts to show her by then! lol!

now you've got your first Boots printout, why dont you weigh on that one every month BEFORE you go to the doctors?? that way you'll have something to take in to show them in case there's shows a STS again??

thats a great idea! im going to Weigh at boots then take that with me to docs next time! and ur right ive got the print out from yesterday with the time on it showing it was AFTER my appointment! My docs a pain in the arse!

Don't be disheartened with taking a year to lose 2stone - that's absolutely fab! that 2 whole stone OFF and not on or STS!! AND you've stuck @ it, don't you feel determined and proud?? you should!!

I am! i really am i just wish i could lose the weight that ive been carrying around for a lot longer well before preg! Ive never been ligher than 11 stone for as far back as i can remember.. if i get to 11 stone this year il be happy!

Just go by the Boots scales so you dont be disheartened and keep going for it!! you'll be at goal in no time! Remember baby weight is different and it took us 9months to put it on so 12months to get it off is no time! xx

True, ive lost all my baby weight within months of having him ( i didnt put much on during pg) i put on a whole stone before i was preg with him (between getting preg and the MC i had before that) i kinda got a bit depressed and just ate. Not like a pig but without any care of putting on weight. Im now trying to lose the 1 stone pre pre preg and 2 stone that ive had since forever!

Have a fab time on your holiday, where are you going? ne where hot?

Dubai! boiling hot!

Dont stress too much about the diet when you're away ((even skinny mini's go mad on hols and pig out - i know coz my friends are all sz8 and they eat more than me on hols!))

Im gona be as sensible as i can.

when you get bk then you can get bk on it and KICK ASS!! we;ll see you shaking your goal weight 138lb ass in here in no time!!

i really hope so! in any case i will go to docs at end of september now as when i get back from holiday i am going to be fasting for one month! that will have SOME effect on my weight no doubt. But dont know if its gona be a good effect ogf a bad one! if i seem to lose weight il visit my doc before end of sep.

cheers hun i love ur enthusiasm!

[sona1980]

hey gals!!

thanks for ur messages!! i had a fantastic time!! if anyone has not yet tried dubai PLEASE GO its sooo nice to see and soo many places and malls to visit and the food! ahh YUM! I kinda chated a lil bit aswell if u can call it cheating! I had a scale where i was staying and weight myself every morning (dont do this at home!) and if i went over 2 lbs i would have healthier brekki and lunch and just a normal dinner! I also had my xenical and had peppremint tea as i usually do at home!! i think this really helped!! Also as i was staying in an apartment with family (my bros place) it was easier to make my own lunches and have what i wanted to for brekki. So it was toast and phili for brekki and noodles for lunch if we werent eating out. Dinner was the hardest we always ate out and Dubai is not knows for its healthy range! Still i feel good for being in control of myself!! Just have 1lb to lose from the 2 lb i put on then i have to try and lose some more before i go back to docs in three weeks!!!

Ive come across ur casserole in the other posts and its already on my list!! lolz! thanks hun!

In the past i have not been able to diet and fast at the same time, but last year i tried "sensible" eating so limited the fried food and i managed to maintain my weight rather that put on or lose! So this year im going for the LOW fat, xenical in two doses and NO FRIED approach and see if i can actually lose! Im trying to eat enough calories in the 2 meals that i have and keep up my fat in the meals to make sure my body dont go in to starvation.
