kc83 · 30-05-2011 4:12pm

Ive my WI thursday, my 1st since sat b4 last!! Im sooooo nervous. First wk lost 5.5lbs,then was up 1lb. It seems ANYTIME I begin exercising lately, I come down with something. Ive been goo eating wise, I was exercising well, even went home at weekend and dad told me I was looking well, which is a MASSIVE COMPLIMENT by him!!! But I had all these plans for my exercise and got a very bad throat infection fri night.
Last week had been xercising all week before and got a bug!!
Am I doing something wrong with my diet?? If Im not sick I feel exhausted....Im a bit worried as since Sept have been really sick at least 5 times and before then I had not been sick for yrs!!
I even ordered my new bike fri and bought protein shakes, Its like my body is allergic to exercise!!! My hol to Africa is only around the corner, I should be out buying bikinis!!! NOT YET THOUGH, IVE 2 STONE TO GO!!!

That is hilarious as I have had to relocate them about 3 times already cos she is after them, I'd say if they were in the bin she wouldn't care and she hates the bin makes the most disgusted face when she is anywhere near it!

i think it is cause it starts you off slow and builds you up to the 'big event' I am gonna give it a go and am starting tonite, it gives me a goal to work towards which will motivate me to get up on the old treadmill!!!

Pity ladys mini marathon is on so soon otherwise would be aiming for that! Need to get a good sports bra before even attempting it though looking forward to it though powerwalking is getting boring

I find porridge wit lots of honey is only way to go

are you making it your self, you'll have to point the individual ingredients. Check the little booklets you get at meetings, I'm say steak is probably listed in for foods part.

Tmeos · 31-05-2011 9:30am

Morning all, weigh in coming up tomorrow morning, had a pretty crappy weekend food wise and went over my weeklies by about 10 points I reckon. I just found it so tough eating out all the time. There seems to be so few options available that can keep you within your points. Anyway just having a whinge. Have been back on track the last two days so will hopefully be able to limit the damage. Going away for the long weekend so will not have as much control over my food I'd like but will do my best. Feeling a bit negative this week for the first time since I started, don't know how to snap out of it

Lady Lainy · 31-05-2011 10:52am

So tomorrow is 1st of June! Perfect chance for us ALL to put the right step forward! I'm hoping to lose 5-6 lbs by the end of june. (hopefully more) but i think 5 or 6 lbs is reasonable, doable, HEALTHY weight loss with diet and excercise and less tv...i've noticed since i'm not watching as much tv...i'm not snacking as much!

On that note...off to do a aerobics dvd. just gotta finisha a few emails and tend to my farm (farmville addict)

hey all,

so odd thing happened last night, i got out of bed to go loo and when i got to bedroom door everything blacked out, then i fainted and fell to floor. fine now, nothing hurt but i'm confused on cause. I did a 5K run for first time the day before, but I had been training for it (couch to 5K so built up slowly and gradually to the 5K). plus i drank lots of water on sunday and monday. and i don't think its down to diet but wanted to run it past my experts!

while far from idea, this is what I'd eaten - not my normal diet but it was my last day of work so went out for lunch and few drinks after work.

The only time I suffered from that was when I had just had a baby. Turns out my iron levels were low. Maybe you should get your levels checked. Hope you're OK now.

izzy24 · 31-05-2011 11:37am

Hey
Have WI tonight.. Feeling really crappy at the mo just feel like since i started exercising im not seeing a move in weight loss.:(. I am walking and running 3k 5 times a week and yesterday i walked 6k. I drinking 2 ltrs of water everyday and sticking to my dailies and have only used a few of my weeklies. Really hoping to be down a bit tonight but i feel like im not. Will let u no later how i get on...

Sorry for the rant...

fofany · 31-05-2011 11:38am

Back from WI & I lost 1lb this week. Delighted. Now I only have 4lbs to go until I don't have to pay for my class any more, 9lbs to goal (I already have my gold card, but haven't been at goal since I got it 16 yrs ago). And I have now lost exactly 2 stone since the start of Jan. I must be doing something right!

Good luck to everyone else with their WIs this week.

kildareash · 31-05-2011 11:43am

Need to find more time in my day for Boards!hehe! Doubt my boss would agree though

Hope you're ok corasam....I know you didn't have that much to drink but alcohol does cause your blood sugars to drop.
I know coz my dad is a diabetic and has had hypos after a few drinks if he doesn't eat something before he goes to bed.
Must have been scary for you tho. Might be no harm getting a MOT from your GP just to be on the safe side.

I had the same goal for May, but it didn't work out for me, again! But I went for a bit of a stroll with the OH last night and felt the better for it. He just saunters along sooooo slowly, but I figured that any exercise was better than none at all.
So I'm going to try harder for June...no more evening treats and more exercise!

My belly and waist has definately shrunk and some bras are a lot more comfortable now. But the single most frustating thing for me is my thighs...I bought new trousers in Dorothy Perkins on Sat. But the size 18 waist is big on me...even with a belt, but it only fits nicely in the thighs!
Have definitely noticed a big difference in my calfs tho...my boots zip the whole way up my calf now without much pressure.

But even tho I haven't lost any weight in the last four weeks, I've had loads of compliments from people so I'm thinking my shape is changing.

Well that's my tuppance worth! WI tomorrow and I'm dreading it.
It's back to work for me deadlines looming and I've so much to do! :eek:

have you seen losses in other area, are clothes looser? jewelary looser?
I know its incredible frustrating, maybe you need to start eating some of your weeklies, like track your activity points, and what ever they are...use that many of your weeklies, maybe go more protein and less carbs, change it up and give your system a bit of a shock and a wake up call. You might also need to drink about another 1/2 litre of water the day your excercising. Especially over the next few days, we're due to get a bit SUN SUN SUN from from tomorrow....

bubbaloo · 31-05-2011 11:58am

Wow - trying to catch up on this thread now. I haven't been on in a while and it'a full time job just reading all the posts!
Anyway, I've had a disastrous weekend in terms of WW. I enjoyed the weekend but I was in various people's houses for 3 days so I had no (or very little) control over what I was eating. Anyway, if I'm very lucky I'll get away with a STS at my WI tonight.

On a brighter note, I was at a family event on Sunday and saw a lot of family I haven't seen in a long time. My sister (who was there too) has always been a size 8/10 and always looks fantastic. Anyway, 2 people (yes 2!) thought I was her!!!

Now, before you get carried away, I'm a size 14 but I was a size 20/22 so I look very different to how I used to look. If they thought I was my sister, they must have thought my sister had put on a lot of weight (ha ha!) but when they realised it was me they were full of compliments. It was great - loads of people were commenting on my weight loss so I felt great.

So I'll be going to my WI tonight and then it's back on the wagon - big time! I'm 1lb from having 3 stone off so I want to get there asap!
Good luck to everyone for a great week.

P.s - Flamelily - your "fudgegate" comment made me laugh out loud!
