I know loads of people who cant starve throughout the day and have their 550 cals spread out, but its horses for courses.

i really need to up the exercise ante but my left knee is chrionically painful and swimming is probably the best thing for me........sound like a trip to florida is overdue!


Good luck everyone with whatever you do I shall be watching all your progress. Isnt it funny when you are trying to loose weight everyone elses diets beccome interesting? I am even reading fictional novels about dieting and have just read The Desperate Brides Diet Club! It was fun, easy to read and strangely motivating! How sad is that?[msneek]

DH's birthday today so had large piece of carrot cake for tea only 2 hours before being weighed!! Also been a little off plan so no surprise for a +.5lb this pm, and also just got back from chinese to celebrate DH's birthday.
So providing my head is back in the right place from tomorrow I will be back on track ... or not!! Of course also completely forgotten lunch out on sunday with the gals who are taking us out to celebrate their father's birthday.
Onwards and downwards ... up and down like a yoyo. Must remember have black tie supper event 25 March, however my long dress is now loose on me, LBD a snug fit, so if I do lose enough to make a difference it's going to be the LBD, but that needs a jacket. It's nice to go down sizes but isn't half expensive, have kept the best items to be altered by a dressmaker when finally hit target.
So back to the week in hand, some planning is required before it all goes to pot!

As for exercise for the past 2 years I have been Nordic Walking and really enjoy it when I can make myself go out and do it.
I find that it doesn't hurt my joints at all and uses 40% more calories than ordinary fast walking. I was at the pain clinc
a few months ago and the consultant of course told me that I must lose weight but she suggested Nordic Walking also
it seems more and more GP's etc are recommending this. Look up groups in your areas and give it a try ladies (and gents) it is
very sociable also we have a good old natter as we walk.

Pleased to say I lost 1 lb this week so still in target - actually bang on. Celebrated with a half a slice of chocolate gateau with cream - and I don't even like chocolate gateau!!! Just wanted to use it up after having guests.

Well done Sandra that's excellent xxx

Well done Sandra . I have always said losing the weight is only winning the battle Maintaining your goal weight is winning the war!!!

Well done Sandra, I lost 2 pounds last week and hopefully on the way to at least one more for Monday

Well done Karen x

You are doing really well Karen. I bet you feel better for losing the weight as well. I know I have more energy......just have to go and get the other half of the chocolate gateaux and cream that I saved for today!!! Mid afternoon snack[msnwink]

More energy is what I need Sandra I am exhausted by Friday humping around 9-10 extra stones all day LOL x
