It's the end of the first week for me. I got weighed this morning, first thing.............. and I've lost 3lbs I'm feeling quite pleased with myself My goal was/is to lose 5lbs in total and be under 10st by the end of the month, so I'm well on track!
The thing that puzzles me though is that when I went to bed last night, I got on the scales and weighed myself and I weighed more than when I started. How come this morning I weigh 4lbs less than I did last night? Where did that 4lb go overnight?

well done so far mate
a loss is a loss keep up the good work
i find that if you go out and take that picture you keep thinking would be good its helping you get out and about .its easy if you try " so they say"
I'm actually very happy with 2-3lbs a week. I know from previous experiences of dieting that I can easily lose ~7lbs a week but as I'm now diabetic a very low carb & fat diet is not a sensible option.
My glucose levels have dropped from 7.2mmol after overnight fasting to a nice "normal" 4.1mmol and I now have so much more energy due to a combination of the diabetes being controlled and less weight to carry around.
I basically use the weightwatchers points system whilst making sure my lunch and evening meals are split 50% vegetables and 25% each for carbs and protein. I also make sure when possible that it's "good" carbs with each meal. I still have the occasional pizza and curry and was never that bothered about alcohol. At the moment having chatted with my doctor, the only excercise I take is a brisk walk several times a week. I'm hoping to be back on a push bike by the Spring
Well - you lot have shamed me into joining the shrinkage forum! Weighing in today at 15s5lb . . . . Target as much as possible . . Under 10st when married and last boxed as a lightweight! Stopping competitive running (1.58 half and 4.04 miler) qualifying and joining the RAF with Officer's Mess and Bar proved disastrous! Over the last 45 years of marriage havent lost weight - just misplaced it!
Every little bit counts - and research goes to show that a steady 1-2lb weight loss per week has a better chance of staying off than losing loads of weight really quickly.
10st 2lb this morning so I haven't lost anything this week Still, I haven't gained any weight either, so it's not all bad. Feeling quite disappointed, but will try harder. I blame it on the busy week I've had at work. I've had some long days where I haven't really eaten anything until about 6-7pm so my metabolism is all over the place.
Lost 2st last year. Only put a couple of pounds on over Xmas (more from not exercising than from over-indulging).
Back onto the 5-milers round Uxbridge, so it should drop off again fairly rapidemente...
Ok, finally got some scales & wish I hadnt bothered ... 9st 13lbs :shake:
Ive still got a few Chrimbo chocs left, will polish em off tomorrow, then make a proper start to join in with this starting Monday.
Im going to try & go cold turkey on the sweet stuff but dont know if there really is such a place as ... a world without chocolate!
Lost another 2lbs, so 12.8lb total, still moving in the right direction.
The only thing I am really missing is having a couple of beers when I watch the football:bang:
Oo, like I just mentioned in another thread, Tuesday I start cardiac rehab. Twice a week in the gym, all controlled by cardiac nurses and physiotherapists. After that we get pep talks by dietitians or cardiologists and the like. Should be interesting to see if this helps with some weight loss.
Can I recommend pneumonia as a weight loss option! REally your respiration is up you have no appetite. Unfortunately as I'm feeling better (I've been up for almost an hour now without having to lay down) I'm sure it will all go right back where it came from.
