Group weight loss challenge 2017!

[AJLang]

No loss from me slight gain but I am not beating myself up about, as we are reeling from having to say good bye to our nearly 16 Year old Labcross last Wedensday.

Grovesy I'm so sorry I've only just seen this. Big hugs for you about your Labcross passing away. It is so awful when this happens. I hope in time you smile when you remember all of the lovely memories of your time together xx

Well done all, I'm not having the best week, but I do have a stinking cold and that is my excuse!

Grovesy, sorry to read your news, hope you are doing ok x

I'm really sorry to hear this @grovesy 16 years is a good age, no doubt sustained by lots of loving care

Of course you can @Karon! 🙂 I wonder if any of our other S/W people can help with the appropriate eating plans? @Hazel ?

Grovesy so sorry to hear about your doggy passing, sending you hugs.
Karon - I agree with you re SW, I am going to start back there, but my leader is giving me the diabetic plan, I will see how it goes but if it is still high in carbs I will just cut down on them.

I lost 1lb this week, really disappointed with that, especially when I lost 2lb over Christmas with all the bad eating. But trying to be positive, I am not having such a big 3pm slump this week, and I have lost 3 inches from my waist and my clothes are feeling more comfortable. Hopefully I will start to lose more when I am doing more exercise at the moment it is only 15 mins a day, but that is in line with my liver consultants instructions. Next week will be 20 mins per day.

Have a good week everyone.

I found this about SW, which suggested that 'Original' was the best plan to go for:

Member @LeeLee hasn't posted here for a while now, but if you do a search for 'World' and posts made by her you might be able to pick out more information about SW and what to go for (and what to avoid!) 🙂

Another pound for me this week, making 4lb in 3 weeks. Really happy with a pound as I have had a real stinker of a cold and basically just eaten what I could actually taste!

Well done @sparklestar! 🙂 Sorry to hear you have been poorly, hope you are feeling much better now 🙂

Thank you, I'm feeling better, but not 100% just yet . . .

Well I have lost 1 kg this week. Feel I am getting back on track, though I am having a steroid injection in my knee on the 7th February.

 

[Northerner]

Excellent @grovesy! 🙂 Hope the injection helps with your mobility - can't believe it's nearly February already! 😱

Thank you. It is not really to help with mobility, I have been on antiinflammatories for a number of years , I was changed to safer ones a couple of years ago, but they are now saying even these not safe long term. So as my bloods all normal, the injection is to try and get me off the antiinflammatories, if no good then I will be being referred back to Orthopaedic Surgeons.

I've decided to just weigh once a month, end of month, at Boot's and get an 'official' print-out of my weight. I do weigh daily on my digital scales but that's just for guidance and info as it goes up and down so much, can't be trusted. I have to lose weight this year, don't want to have the weight loss surgery. 😱

Forgot to update yesterday evening, another 1lb off this week. Back to chipping away at it slowly.
