Joy1 Posted January 15, 2008 Author Share Posted January 15, 2008 Congratulations to everyone who has lost this week! [:D] I have lost 1/2 lb, not a lot but then I am still finishing off the christmas cake, (oh and the last box of chocolates! - sorry , I can't bear to throw them away! Will have to get the kids to eat them up! I have started to count my weight watchers points this week, and hope to get some exercise in as well. Suey, the best way to eat for a diabetic is a low GI diet. Do a search on amazon for a good recipe book (Rosemary Conley does a good diet plan). Keep up the good work everyone!

Suninfrance Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi all - I lost 1/2 lb this week as well. Not much, but from small beginnings. Having been sticking to no drinking, but last night I did finish off a glass of dry white. The other half a litre went into a Poulet Bourgiugnon. However, one glass of wine, one night a week is hardly going to upset the scales.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claire Posted January 15, 2008 Share Posted January 15, 2008 Hi everyone. I have lost 2lb this week and finding it easier than the first few days. My worst time of day is the afternoon at about 4pm so am eating loads of fruit and raw carrotts to carry me over to supper time. Next week will be difficult as we are going to the UK for a week to visit family but I will be taking my weight watchers points book with me so I can keep on track (hopefully) The main things I have given up are bread, cheese, potatoes and alcohol and of course chocolate. We were lucky this Christmas as my mom forgot to buy us any chocolates and as I only like Cadburys (mom worked there for many years) I have not had any since our last visit to the UK in early December !!! I hope I can resist next week but her fridge is always full of chocolate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suninfrance Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm still here too. Only managed to lose 1 lb in the last couple of weeks, but that's better than gaining it I guess. Had too many visitors and made too many cakes in the last couple of weeks. However, I WILL BE SLIMMER for the summer.Jan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Poppy Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Well done Jan, a pound loss every couple of weeks means nearly 2STONE lighter by next Christmas. Shouldn't mention it here but the lemon drizzle cake on another thread sounded delicious.The other Jan [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy1 Posted February 5, 2008 Author Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hello Jan and Jan! I am so glad that I'm not all alone![:(] I had almost given up hope!After a good start and a 2lb loss I have now gained a pound! ( I put it down to lack of encouragement from fellow slimmers!)I am actually off to see my doctor this week. I would like to get my thyroid checked as I have loads of symptoms! (Slow digestion (5 days[+o(]) feeling even more tired when I wake up then when I went to sleep, fluid retention, lack of weight loss etc etc.) We will see what she says! See you next week, Joy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jacqui Too Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 I'm still here, sometimes anyway! I've not had much time recently for the forum[:$] Computers been playing up! spent most of last week trying to install a new printer...........Tried another new printer same thing ..... hours spent on very expensive help lines.... ends up its the computers fault (only 6 months old by the way) had to do a total system recovery and spent the whole weekend restoring my files, programs, passwords, favourites, email settings and Internet connections. Oh and the new printer installed like a dream! Could have kept the first Printer (much cheaper) [:-))]Well at least it stopped me from getting hungry, its surprising how little food you need when you are stressed [:-))]My goal was to lose about 1/2 stone, but I changed my scales and found I was heavier than I thought [:-))] now I really need to loose about 3/4 stone [:(]Since I got the new scales ( 8 days ago) I have lost about 1lb and as someone else said 1lb in two weeks is 2 stone a year.I'm being very good in the morning have either porridge or muesli, no bread only crackers, using a smaller plate for my main meal and no snacking but I allow myself one small treat per day eg. 1 chocolate biscuit, 2 choccies out of the box, otherwise If they were forbidden I would want them even more [Www]I don't believe in going hungry, but you must ask yourself if you are really hungry or if you just want to eat it!See you all next weekps don't you just love smileys [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby Posted February 5, 2008 Share Posted February 5, 2008 Lost about 12 lbs so far - but mainly because I'm working so many hours I don't have time to eat LOL. I've only had one day off work since the beginning of Jan [:(] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Poppy Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Oh dear where is everyone. Are you all doing as badly as me [6] Haven't got a clue what got into me this week, well physically it was chocolate, alcohol and anything fattening. Managed to almost get control over the weekend and also started exercising again. Going to a party on Easter monday so must get into the party dress.The other JanStill slimming & smiling [:D] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joy1 Posted February 26, 2008 Author Share Posted February 26, 2008 Hi Jan. i am still here!!! I'm not sure if most people now weigh-in on Wednesdays? Anyway, it's good to see you back! I was in the UK for 10 days, and actually managed to stay the same weight! Back to the calorie counting now though. Hopefully we'll both have lost something before next week[:D] JoyX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
