Re: NEW 2007 spangly diet for OZ thread.......
Well, after losing more than 2.5 stone prior to Xmas, I managed to pile on 6lbs:scared: over the hols. Have shifted 4 of those this week so now only 2lbs over wharer I was so not too bothered. I wanted to really enjoy Xmas, not have to worry about having a drink and loads of food so that exactly what I did
.
Still following WW, but not going to meetings. I get to the gym twice a week but I'd like to get more walking done - need some dry weather for that though - it fels liek it's rained here for months.
I was really owrried that after my Xmas indulgences, I'd find it hard to get back onto the diet, but seems to be OK. Mind you, I had no choice as I'd thrown out all my big clothes.
Got a nice surprise in the sales after Xmas whaen I got int oa size 12 top which is keeping me motivated.
We have our medicals on Saturday and I was hoping t ohave lost maybe another 7lbs by then, but that's OK. At least my BMI isn't scary anymore.
Good luck everyone.

Seriously though back problems make most exercise very difficult - have you been able to talk to someone (physio perhaps?) who could suggest types of exercise that would not add to your back problems?

I injured my back about 8 years ago lifting something at work. Union wouldn't take the case to court after almost 3 years of gathering evidence - and I am left with a dodgy back.
I had physio and an ostiopath to begin with and then steroid injections. Which helped.
It seemed to settle down after a few years - but I only have to do something really stupid - like sitting on the floor to watch tv and I know about it the next day.
I swim and do lots of stretching and have managed to lose some weigh (as the weight makes it worse). But the main area I seem to have (All of a sudden - middle age spread early) is my tummy. I can't do sit ups but I do try to hold in and then relax my muscles. I have strong stomach muscles but they are hidden by a roll of fat
My back is mainly ok and as long as I am careful I get along fine.

Re: NEW 2007 spangly diet for OZ thread.......
The rugby is for all my motherly 'frustrations'...my back is better after exercise, awful if i do nothing...
dr said to stay as active as possible, cos when my kidneys started playing up on sunday i took some really strong painkillers, they knocked me out, i crashed out all afternoon and i ended up having spasms in my back whenever i tried to move - pure agony!
have kept on the go since monday pm and have taken the right painkillers and am now 'thankfully' almost ok...
Rugby tonight though, cant wait!
impressed with myself cos i can jog around the pitch 1 and a bit times without stopping now...used to just be up one side of the pitch and i'd be gasping!Kat xxx
Good luck every one, think cossies and beach!

Re: NEW 2007 spangly diet for OZ thread.......
Hello, can I join your thread? I have all my baby weight to lose, plus more on top (2.5 stone in total). I hope to have a stone off by my birthday in March, then the rest by October, when we are hopefully off to Perth.
I have joined WW online and have lost 2lbs so far this year. As for exercise nothing but walking atm. I had SPD in my pregnancy so getting back into it slowly. I'm going to start jogging again soon, and swimming (just bought a new cossie - was that a horror show or what!)
