The really slow loss team!

[Woodland girl]

Managed to lose 1.5 of my 3 lb gain from last week. Pretty pleased with that, even though it is slightly dull to be losing the same lbs twice! Lol
Have a great day everyone. ( looking around for the naughty step but surprised to see only a pile of ashes ...)

 

[HelsAngel]

Sorry, I've built another one. Get on it! Well done Woodlandgirl.

 

[Woodland girl]

Tee hee! Well constructed

 

[MrsScandude]

Can I join you guys? I've lost just short of 9 stones on SW which is fantastic I know, but as I'm very hit n miss its taken me 3.5 years. I love SW but do get very frustrated sometimes as I am usually 100% on plan but rarely get a decent loss, usually a 0.5 off or a STS. And if I go even a little off plan I can put a STUPID amount on, eg on my holidays in September I had 10 days 'off plan' where I was a little naughty but on all honesty i wasnt really that bad but I put 8 pounds on!!! Gah. It drives me nuts! Anyhoo. Just wanted to say hi! btw I still have about another 4 stones to go.

 

[Woodland girl]

Welcome mrs scandude! Wow, you are doing so well x

 

[Annya]

Blood results down = steroids up. My appetite is about to become INSATIABLE and my moods UNBEARABLE.

My poor long-suffering husband has already run for cover at the thought of my snappy , miserable , weepy :cry: episodes and I think I'll have to tell him to put a padlock on the fridge.....

Ho-hum........... better than the alternative is what I have to tell myself. Oh, and I have a horrible cold and sore throat too - not good!

Would we like to run a sweepstake on what my gains are going to be over the next few weeks?

Hell peeps,

Had some bad news, FIL passed away at the weekend. Almost a year since MIL.

Gonna have to go to Glasgow so it`s gonna be another difficult Christmas.

Been eating total crap so hopefully I`m still within target range.

 

[felicity62]

[felicity62]

[MrsScandude]

[conlou1]

hey everyone, sorry to hear theres been bad news hope your ok grannie annie

annya sorry your meds needed putting up

hi newbies, just reading back and i missed a few of you out...obviously i wasnt reading the posts properly...ooops, my bad!

well, my weekend was BRILLIANT i danced from 9pm until 3am, drank stupid amounts of alcohol and crashed out at 6.30am!! felt soooo ill yesterday, all i could stomach was a pizza, it took several attempts. went to bed at 6.30pm and didnt get up til 9am today!! i still feel ill so have been eating crap all day, i actually feel sick. i am so dehydrated, ive been drinking juice all day but still feel rubbish. cant wait for bedtime!! so not sure i can face going tomorrow i know if i go it wil be better but i just dont think i can face seeing a huge gain. il see how i feel.

 

[Annya]

oh annya thats a shame, will you be okay? poor you x

I'll be fine.......thanks for caring

Unfortuantely it happens most years during the winter and is just something I have to live with :sigh: I think the biggest downside is the inevitable weight gain, only this year I am going to REALLY try to keep it to a minimum even if I have to be a miserable old bag because I am constantly hungry

Back in a month and hopefully things will have settled down a bit and I can wean them back down........... :fingerscrossed: Sadly, I've now managed to catch a cold so back down the GP tomorrow for antibiotics to stave off the chest infection which will no doubt develop :sigh:

 

[felicity62]

we give our patients at work regular steroids and the side effects are vile !!! their parents always say they demand cooked dinners (sunday roasts) prawn crisps and salty stodge, that must be hard to resist........along with the mood swings, poor sleep, irrational reactions etc etc hope you get the infection sortted

 

[Latte]

Grannie Annie I am so sorry to read that x

Annya could you possibly have a big chunky soup on the go as it should help with cravings and be totally free and full of goodness for you and if you do green or ee you could add in handfuls of pasta and you can keep a pot on the go and a flask to have when you need food.

Lou I am going to weigh in and we had a wedding on Saturday plus hotel breakfast Sunday. I had two croissants then we got Indian take away which we had yesterday and leftovers today ooops !

 

[Pommette]

Well done all you losers and welcome to all the newbies. It's really nice to see some new peeps here!

hugs hels and meadow. i did laugh at you setting fire to the naughty step, hope there was no one on it hahaha

I am sitting in a bucket of water cooling my fat a*se which was on the naughty step with you where Bev sent it last week when you came along and set fire to it :8855::8855:

Sorry, I've built another one. Get on it! Well done Woodlandgirl.

Oh you lot - what are you like?
I go away for 10 days and you demolish and re-build the naughty step.
Sorry you got your bum burnt Annya - I didn't mean for you to be a victim

Now then. If we have a naughty step for big losses I think we need a "Good Step" for big gains. I'm heading off there now!!!

I've managed to gain 1.3 kg (2.86 lbs) whilst freezing my backside off in the UK. I'm in target range - just - so it's back to plan to get rid of those 3 lbs. Plus another 3 lbs I want to lose to reach the BMI I set out to achieve (at a recent medical I'd shrunk over ½" in height - bah humbug )

HolidayGirl - don't give up chica. Either find a new group of just do it with me here on Minis. You can do it - just accept that it's going to be slow. There's a couple of us real tortoises that have got to target. If I can can do it - so can you!

Too many cream teas and fish and chips Pomme ?

I lost 0.5lb which I am pleased with considering I had a four course dinner and evening buffet at the wedding on Saturday and we had a big hotel breakfast Sunday plus we had an Indian take away over two days. I only had rice and dhansak but it doesn't take much as we know !

 

[conlou1]

i chickened out of weigh in, got on the scales at home today and it said a 1-2 pound gain and i just couldnt face going. i cant even be bothered to get back on it, atm i dont even care if i put weight back on, i dont know whats wrong with me, im only just finishing * week so it could be to do with that, im trying to be good today but failing. completely lost motivation, thinking of packing it all in til after christmas now, i have so much planned i know that slimming is going to be impossible. i just hope tomorrow i get just an ounce of motivation back

 

[felicity62]

lou i really can relate to you! maybe if you just relax about it you will feel in a better place to get back on it (if that makes sense) when it feels like such a hardship it really becomes a battle of will power, you dont seem to be in a strong enough place to fight with your will power at the minute. whilst i should be saying stay with it, stick to plan etc etc its all well and good but you are only going to feel worse for fighting it. if you can cope with the gain then go with it and see how you feel! I suspect you will be back soon.

christmas is a difficult time, i am going to try do the party season with minimal damage....that means i socialise when needed but get back on track when possible! thats the plan anyway. I have lost 1.5 lb (oddly) so will see what i can do. i think any single day on plan is a success at the minute

 

[conlou1]

thanks felicity. i wasnt too bad yesterday, i tried to pull it around a bit. i think im just feeling that way out. i think because i went out saturday and wore a dress and it looked nice i dont feel that urgency to lose weight like i did, but i know im not going to be happy staying at this weight for the rest of my life, the dress may have fit but the rest of my clothes dont haha. ive got my sons birthday treat tonight, bowling and then kfc. great. i love kfc, i could eat a bucket of the skin haha. i have taken pork out though for tea so im going to do pork and veg and mash to fill me up before we go so im not tempted to eat it. i still have no motivation btu am just gonna plod along and hope it comes back soon.

my c text me asking if i could go to another group, im going to try to get to the thursday evening one, or even the thursday morning one, just to weigh in then leave. i need to know the damage, i should have gone last night but just couldnt face it at all, i had eaten so much over the day that the gain would have been huge. im going to have to do extra easy for te forseeable future which is dangerous for me cos im no good at portion control!! eurgh moan moan moan. im off out for a walk to get my son a cake for his birthday and to get some fresh air, hopefully i will come across my motivation along the way lol
