No, have a cup of water whilst waiting for kettle to boil.

why oh why is it so much easier to gain weight than it is to lose it???!!

sympathise with you manghams - been in that situation too many times!

onwards and upwards everyone, good luck for the forthcoming week

I seem to gain weight by the half stone and lose it by the half pound:curse:

Been dieting for two weeks now, and I've now lost 6 pounds... Only another 26 to go...

that made me chuckle!
don't feel like i've lost this week (scales will tell tomorrow)
couldn't even give blood to lose half a pound as it's been less than 28 days since we got back from canada, and, as i've also had a cold in that time, i'm now waiting for the blood service doc to call me to advise what, if anything, i need to do to get tested for west nile disease (symptoms of which are colds and tiredness - i'd put it down to maybe a touch of anaemia)!!!
oh well, on the plus side, OH has his medical booked for friday down in knightsbridge so i'm just checking out theatre & hotel packages for the night

welcome and well done!

After a bad week - i.e., being sick, I lost 6 lbs - but I really dont suggest anybody does it this way! All stress related. (Oh how I love the process of emigration!)
Just hoping that I dont put it all back on next week.

Manghams - chill out a little! Great weight loss, you will probably keep some of it off! Hope your feeling better now though.

Thanks will try, trouble is most "chillin out" either includes eating or drinking

I can see that being a problem then. STAY STRESSED! When are they going ot invent calorie free wine?

And justo make us feel even worse about my fat old bosie theres a prat in teh confused thread saying no woman over 50 is sexually attractive, fat women are horrible and other sexist dangerous nonsense-- go get him!


Still comfort eating, dangerously fat. Dont know what to do

Going to get him NOW! :curse:

Each day is a new day to make changes, each meal is a new meal to make changes, each snack is a new snack to make changes. Step by step Batty!

When you reach for a bag of crisps ask yourself do I really want these or one of those bananas? If you go for the banana and still find yourself being drawn to the crisps - have half a packet.

(Like I follow that advice HAH! Apart from doing the curves thing I have yet to make changes to my eating habits.)

Keep your chin up and ignore the sexist ignorant pig.

hi guys, glad to see your all still hanging in there.. its bloody hard work this dieting, but its soooo worth it in the end. another 2lbs lost this week.

Gotta keep trying I know. thanks for the encouragement. I just head for the comfort eating when you see opinions like that. Only IainK seems to have any sense
