9 days to go Lesley - I can't believe it's that close!

[luluj]

Soon comes round Skippy...hope all going to plan for you and hubby to be.....fingers crossed for the weather x

[Shining]

oh my I hadn't realised that close! So sorry I can't make it but with youngest going to uni and all other stuff happening this month it's impossible.

Same with FF meet at Christmas just too busy which is a shame and only wish I could have booked FF sooner but not to be so will catch up with all next Christmas. x

Well done Foggy, Lesley pass on my congratulations to you daughter and Kominoko foingers crossed you can shed the last 14 by christmas. Skippy you are going to look wonderful on your big day, I cant wait to see some pics on fb.

Mine has been strange I am doing nothing different to what Iw as doing before but I havent lost anything for 2 weeks now, still I keep plodding on hopefully this week...

You will always hit a plateau but it us disheartening when that happens.

I am sure my first weeks loss won't be repeated, once I go into "starvation mode". But I am happy, and surprised, that I haven't felt hungry at all on the reduced portions and NO cheating!

I'm sure you've been told all this but:

1) Don't try to lose the weight too fast.
2) Eat small and often. Starving oneself doesn't really work too well as the metabolism slows right down. Maybe 150-200 calories every 2 hours if your typical daily schedule allows
3) Treat yourself to a nice curry or whatever you like once a month as a reward.

Same happened to me a while back.

See my above post about the metabolism.

Thank you PJL I will do that and she will appreciate your good wishes.

Without wanting to sound like Mr Grace, you're all doing very well...I plan a bit of a blitz in the diet department next week as I've been static for a few weeks. Good tips from komakino. x

2lb lost this week, lost 20lb all together now, only another 24lb to go LOL

Finally catching back up with this thread and well done to all who are still losing!

I have dropped a dress size and starting to feel a lot better now my medication has settled. I also have to use an irrigation kit daily ( sorry for too much info) - it wipes me out but is working!

I still have a lot of weight to lose, but with the right medication, healthyy diet and exercise I am determined to get there.....eventually [:D]

[Niobe]

Great news Julie, hope it keeps going. Not heard of the irrigation kit (feel free to message me with the details!!)

[Julie]

I don't mind posting details on here Niobe if no-one else objects [:I]

As I've had my "condition" for 10 years now and it is now classed as chronic. I have been supplied with an irrigation kit to use - at first I was pleased and thought it would be a "quick fix", but the reality is a painful, horrendous procedure, that I have to do daily at first and still try to function, when all I want to do is take to my bed. In time, I should be able to reduce the usage and it will help, but never cure.

[Niobe]

That doesn't sound nice at all but if you want to post on here then I don't mind.

[Julie]

Not nice at all [:(]

I'm back in the right mindset now to try and lose the weight, so looking forward to posting and reading positive news!
