I was going to say that earlier grovesy - while you were immobile you were naturally going to gain some and until you're fully mobile again I think it will be a case of just watching what you eat, which you do anyway - and maybe a few above waist exercises to keep the blood circulating & to aid your bgls. Take care & look after your knee too x

I think I was more suprised at the gain last week as i was not really eating and my appetite was poor. Which is not like me at all. I am managing to walk about quite a bit, I walk around the garden a least once an hour. Yesterday I walked around the corner and back, i think I suprised a neighbour as I over took her and her dog a couple of times. I was not walking that fast though.

Well done to those who have lost more weight.

Lost 1lb,quite surprised because I had an arthritis flareup and was all swelled up last week,so 1 lb despite not following the regime properly,and not getting much exercise (never touched a weight last week,hands too painful to hold them,and no long walks) is really encouraging. The state of mind I had this week I would probably have thrown in the towel if I had gained weight. But its the long term over several weeks or months that counts,isnt it?
Still havent managed to get a new scale,so I must get on to that,its unsettling not knowing exactly what I weigh!
My daughter has got me one of those plates divided into half of it veggies,one quarter each protein and carbs. A handy reminder,I think it will prod my conscience to be good! Will start to use it today,we'll see if I can manage two pounds this week! lol.
