The really slow loss team!

[Annya]

Yep, still here! But only because I have just finished 5 boosted miles with my friend Leslie - that last mile nearly slaughtered me though Done in my running shoes so hopefully no shin splints.... only tomorrow will tell.

Off to bed now - up again at 7 to take Lily for her early morning constitutional - I should be like a ruddy whippet by now if life was fair!!

I put 1.5lbs ON this week after losing 2lbs last week - and that despite staying well under my calorie goals all this week......... oh the joys of steroid medication *rolls eyes*

Pooh - methinks your winter's going to be a bit of a roller coaster ride!

4lbs back on for me, although I have been off plan since Sunday. Little boy was at hospital tues so then And weds we just ate what we wanted. And last night cooked 3 course dinner for my ma's Birthday I made some pretty SW friendly things but had some wine. I know it's not a true gain as I feel yuck and bloated so it's another week of trying to balance back out what I've always lost. Got a tonne of work to do as well. Eek! Xx

 

[Redchick]

Oh hope your little boy is ok charl_young. It's so hard to stick to plan when our routine is interrupted. If you're prone to bloating/water retention try taking vit B6 - 50mg tabs one per day. I usually double the dose around totm and after eating a lot of carbs or drinking too much

Not heard of this one redchick - thanks for the info. I suffer dreadfully from bloating. May give it a go.
Do you take them all the time?

 

[Redchick]

Yeah I take calcium supplements, multi vit and b6. Seemingly you need to be careful with high doses of b6 as it can cause problems with nerves (electrical type not psychological ones). The calcium helps with fat binding. Have to say whatever about helping with a diet my skin, hair and nails are fab since I started taking them over a yr ago.

It always is Bev - only this time I am not going to cave in and just overeat all winter undoing all my hard work like I usually do. I am determined to limit the damage this year - my goal is to stay below 12 stones, evne if its just by half a pound..... any more than that will be a bonus.

Just tried the bridesmaid dress on and it fits. It's looser than before and I don't need to lose any more, so the pressure is off. So pleased was feeling really stressed x

Yay - well done you

 

[charl_young]

Ah well done Lou! Fab news I bought some size 14 leggings, I know it's cheating as they're stretchy but they would still feel/look horrible if they were too stretched and they fit perfect! my 16 ones were feeling well baggy. Xx

Excellent news hunni!!!!

 

[littlesteph]

I am glad I am not the only one whos progress is slow and tends to fluctuate! I read all these stories about people losing 4 stone in like 7 months or something and I'm like... "hmm... yeah... I fail at life" lol! Yay for us slow losers

 

[Annya]

Welcome Littlesteph - you are certainly not alone here!

 

[conlou1]

Oops tonight I fell into a kebab. Guess ill have to be extra good tomorrow :/

 

[Annya]

Don't you just HATE it when they just jump into your mouth uninvited like that No matter Lou - tomorrow is another day and that bridesmaid's dress is loose

 

[conlou1]

LoosER not loose haha but it's totally

Fine how it is now so if I lose too much I'm in trouble lol. That's a crap excuse isn't it. The reason is I wanted it, I enjoyed it and I do t feel guilty at all. I am thinking if calling target tbh. I'm soooooo sick of trying to lose weight. I need to tone up more than anything. I'm bit even overweight anymore, I'm a size 12 and am pretty happy how I am. Like I say I really need to to e up but not sure I need to lose much more weight. Gonna have a think about it x

 

[littlesteph]

Thank you Annya

 

[Annya]

Your BMI is perfect Lou - perhaps try and find yourself something you enjoy to tone you up some more. Have you ever tried Pilates? I love it and it really does pull everything in if you stick with it - so relaxing too

My problem is a I am a bit of an exercise "tart" and I just flit from one thing to another. About the only exercise that's a regular for me is Leslie Sansone's walking programme, everything else is a bit of this and a bit of that then I get bored I did enjoy the 30 day shred and I got great results, but I found the high impact stuff just too hard on my 50+ year old joints I might have a go at a modified version of it without all the jumping jacks, burpees and stair climbers - just do the toning sections and jog the cardio instead............
