Billies progress

Sounds as if you have had a tough few days Billie so don't be too hard on yourself. Hope that you can get back on track now.

I am having great trouble getting started back on the diet, got cravings to eat, nothing special just feel hungry all the time, so as its only biscuits, other than my meals, I have in the house I'm afraid thats what I am eating, have run out of fruit but that was not doing much good as was eating far to much of that daily, so I am going to hold of till I have the scan and diagnoses.

Quite normal Billie so don't beat yourself up about it hun. You'll get back to it when you're ready and when your mind is more at rest.

I decided today that I was going to treat myself this week, and then I will start again in a couple of weeks, so I got my self a couple of strawberry and cream tarts, some choccies and fudge, but I also got a lot of fruit and salad makings so will not completely binge out, but I do need some pampering and as I have no one to do that for me I have top do it myself.

I don't blame you Billie, you have had a lot to worry about recently. I am a firm believer that being nice to yourself once in a while can make it easier in the long run, self-deprivation can be terribly boring!

You come up here to me for a while hun. I'll pamper you.

That would be nice Lorraine, but you don't want another old grumpy now do you

I don't think you could match the last one Billie!

Well lets see how long this run of weight loss lasts.

Tell you what, i will hobble to you and we can pamper one another. Don't beat yourself up about the weight, just try not to binge toooooo much. It is a shame that we don't live closer.x x x

Well done, Its still a loss Billie so thats a good thing YES!!!!! It just makes it where you need to stick to it more firmly for it to shift more and do what you have been to stay around where you are. Up to you what you want.

Look back to the beginning and see what you've lost as a toatl, also think what you might have put on if you hadn't been trying so hard, I seem to put on about 1/2 stone a year, so that's a bit more you have kept at bay if you're the same.
It's even harder if you can't get to exercise much. You've done well, don't forget it.

Great advice to you on here Billie, look back at the progress you did make, and then forward to more success.

Try googling the exercises you can do sitting in a chair or on the bed, keep doing repeats, it will help with mobility and a 'feel good' element to it,

Try not to get downhearted, plod on until it feels better, it will if you put all that effort in again x you can do it x

Have not put anything up since last time as I am the same weight as then, even although I did goodness knows how much walking and as Lesley said we ate an awful lot of cakes, and since I have got home have pigged out on fudge and toffees, so I wonder how much I lost with all the walking, maybe have to start walking a bit more here now

Put it behind you and start from tomorrow.

Well that's good Billie. You've put nothing on, so you can only go forward. Well done, hun.

I haven't updated mine either as I'm still 12st 2lb.

I'm liking the fudge and cakes diet, must try that LOL

Well after yo yo,ing between 13st 6lbs and 13st 2 lbs for the last few weeks I have finally stuck to correct eating and have now lost 3st since I started in November, well chuffed will now carry on.

Oh wow thats fantastic news Billie, really chuffed for you

Well done Billie. I wondered if you were still carrying on.
3st is a lot, so don't put it back on like I have.

I will try not Steph but I am a sod for cream cakes and chocolate.

Billie - I just KNEW you would do it. Very, very well done indeed and anyway, the odd cake isn't too bad ... you need some treats now and then. You will feel so much better with the weight loss that it will be your incentive to keep it off. Well done xxxx

Oh, well done, Billie! Agree with Patty - you just have to have the odd treat now and again.

Lynda

You've done really well Billie, even with the odd treat lol.

I think I must have read it wrong last week or I have put 4lbs back on since then, getting a bit fed up with this.

have you just weighed yourself in the evening? Try again in the morning, I bet it's less.
Don't get dishearted anyway, you know you're doing well, I bet you can feel the difference in your clothes.

Thrifty I weigh myself every morning at the same time, and yes I have dropped from 24 to 20 so can now wear some trousers and tops from a long time ago, must have known I was going to do this at the back of my mind or I would have thrown them out, I have also taken tucks in each side of my 24 trousers, so yes I know I have lost loads but have been stuck here for at least a couple of months now, don't want to go back on that diet again, and the more I think about it the more I don't want to.

billie remeber that in this sort of weather we people who take heart meds etc will retain that bit of extra water ,well i do anyway ,dont know why i do but i always swell up in warmer weather ,iu can tell by my fingers so it could be a bit of water retention

Thanks Kim you are right, it is just so disheartening when you think you have broken the barrier and then there you are back behind it.
