3 lbs is awesome! The rest will come off, you're doing great!

JM that is great! I'm so glad they're getting you in sooner.
Don't stress about it now, you have a lot to worry about already.

I'm down 1 lb since last week, I wish it were more but whatever. My official WI day is tomorrow but we're having Easter dinner tonight over at my husband's aunt and uncles so I'm going with todays weight lol

 

[jessicasmum]

Your doing great 19 pounds loss.
I'm going to try next week to start again but hopefully once I have my appointment and have my questions answered I might feel like I can concentrate more on the weight loss, need to get it in my head that its important that I'm in best shape as I can before I have an operation.

 

[Try Rocking]

I hope time moves quickly until your appointment and you get some good news. And I hope once you do talk to them it is easier to concentrate

So today has been a complete write off. I was going to be good.. and then it all went to hell. I can't even say what exactly happened. I've eaten too much candy, I didn't do terrible on the food.. but then I was stuffed and of course had to top it off with pie and ice cream. Fuck. Hopefully I can work it off by next week

 

[pompeyvix]

The wait must be horrible jm. I really do hope the times flies by for you

TR - urgh tell me about it! All I can say is try and draw a line under today and start afresh tomorrow.

I've had an iffy day today too, although pre - ww it would have been MUCH worse. Here is my day (copied from my journal):

I woke up this morning and NEEDED chocolate!! So I had a ripple and then straight away wanted more, so I had another. I felt so so so terrible after Then as I was packing our bag to go out, I found a very small piece of Easter egg which Anabella got yesterday and rather than give it to her or put in in the bin, I popped it in my mouth

I tried to redeem myself as we went on a long walk this afternoon and I was on my feet with 6 hours straight. For lunch I only had fruit.

We stopped in a lovely country pub for dinner and had burger and chips. I didn't eat the bun though, had no mayo, sauce or cheese, but I did have some battered fish which Anabella couddn't finish. I have struggled to point today, but here are my guesstimates :

2 x galazy ripple = 10 points
Small piece of easter egg = 5 points
Burger without bun & sauce = 8 points
Chips = 15 points
Small piece of cod in batter = 8 points
Fruit & veg = 0 points

So I've eaten 46 points, which is 15 over my daily amount, BUT I still had 20 weeklies remaining, so assuming I've guesstimated OK, I still have my 5 weeklies left, plus 38 activity points on the back of the walking I;ve done this week.

Hopefully I'll still be OK on Tuesday.... but got to get through tomorrow yet, which will be difficult as I am hopefully seeing my mum tomorrow as it's her 60th birthday and I am taking her out for lunch. I will just have to make very careful choices!

I have walked 13,189 steps, including 103 active minutes today, so not all bad!

 

[hello_kitty]

Heather sorry about the bleeding but yay for them moving your appointment sooner!

Sorry you've had a rough time ladies, its Easter here too but we dont really celebrate so no chocolate for me. I havent been gaining weight because I have been too lazy to cook. Plus I am packed with hw. I am down back down to 224.6 so I really think what I gained was water retention.

This time tomorrow I'll be at my appointment, scared and nervous is an understatement.
I will try to update after my appointment.

I hope it went well as it could do today

 

[jessicasmum]

I've already wrote a long message in my journal about yesterday and don't want to have to write out again so here's a link to my journal to read it on there.

Just updated my ticker as just weighed myself and I'm 18 stone 3 pounds (255 pounds). Can't believe it puts me 0.1 under being classed as morbidly obese
I'm setting a goal because they said 3 stone hopefully in 3 months until I see them again, I haven't got a date for appointment yet but I've put it as 3 months today (13 weeks) to lose 3 stone 3 pounds (45 pounds).

 

[topsy]

^^ You can do it hun

What diet are you following sweetie? xxxx

 

[jessicasmum]

I hope so because I don't want to put myself at any risk of complications because it would be my own fault and only myself to blame.

Not following a particular diet just doing low calorie and fat.

 

[topsy]

Aw hun its not your own fault hun... YOU are doing everything you can do to get healthy Hugs hun.

I have lost weight before counting cals good luck sweetie xxx

 

[jessicasmum]

It is my own fault how much weight I've put on but yes I'm trying to fix it.

I've only ever done a diet for 3 weeks no longer in the past but hoping that this is the incentive to stick to it this time.

Dieting is hard, but definitely do-able & we're all here and in it together

Thanks had a blip already today but a line being drawn I've got to take it serious and also exercise has got to be started.

Hi ladies,

I just got back from a 10 day vacay and havent been checking in. It was super fun but we hit a snow storm (really scary) on the way from Leavenworth, wa to vancouver, canada. At first dh and I were like "aww look there's snow how beautiful!" until it got worse as we went up. Our car skid and we had to drive 20 mph. On our way back to the US we had to take a ferry and experienced wild waves. It was soo bad that one of the lights on the ferry collapsed. Hopefully we made it to the border safely. We are home now and it feels so good to be home. Planning to go back in 2 months as an incentive for losing weight. Dh said if I lose 15 lbs from here til then, we'll go again if not we're not going. Its kind of a reward he's putting out, so good luck to me ladies!

All of you are doing much better than me! Keep it up! Also, good luck to you Heather. I know its hard but you can do it! I tried cutting portions today. SOmetimes I obliviously eat way more than I should. If I counted calories I know if would be way more than 2500 cal. I am using a smaller bowl, plate etc, and it really helps.

 

[hello_kitty]

So the old saying has always been "eat smaller, frequent meals". It is definitely true, but the hard part is sticking to it. Given my weight, I require a lot of calories, and now I need to train my body to eat less so I can lose weight. I have been doing small portions since yesterday and it has definitely helped. I dont starve myself, if I am hungry I eat, but I just dont go for that extra large bowl.

I have written down how much I need to lose per day (since I need to lose 15 lbs per month like heather) and it comes out to 0.4 lbs a day. I weighed 226.8 yesterday. My goal was supposed to be 226.4 today, but I ended up weighing 226 this morning. Since I am vigorously trying to lose weight to get my reward, I am going to weigh myself every day to make sure I dont gain it back.

 

[jessicasmum]

That's a good incentive lily to be able to go away again.

I've just got a letter from the Christie hospital and its a letter that's been sent to the consultant in Warrington that referred me and to my gp (I asked for all correspondence etc to be sent to me), it mentions about wanting me to lose weight and it says 25 kilos, which it was said to me 20 kilos, so now I've got to lose 4 stone not 3 stone which would mean 4.6-4.7 pounds a week its said hopes to at least 15 kilos in 3 months but I know it is much better if I do the 25 kilos because if the scans have altered they are going to want to operate in 3 months not 6.
