Ah but you have had a few obstacles along the way and still managed that, so well done you! 🙂Xx

Put on 1 lb again.
Thats two weeks running,gone back up to a higher stone level,and leaves me 3 lb away from my 4 stone award

Annoying when I was only 1/2lb away 8 weeks ago but family crises and health issues have seen me really struggle,bobbing back and forth over the same 3 lbs. Maddening!
Most embarrassing since my son is paying for this countdown,and I only lost a princely 1 lb since I started it!

Only one week left,dont know if I dare ask him to pay for another one

All those months at a steady 1-2 lbs a week seem a distant dream. Got to get a grip!Wish this dreadful month was over,and we get some good weather so I can get out and do some stress breaking walking.
And without a stick. For the first time in 9 years I can walk around like a normal person.I feel 10 years younger

.......if only I could start losing weight again........(sigh)

Don't worry Dusty, I am struggling at the moment also to loose. Te weather here has made it difficult to get out and do some walking exercise.

Wel Done Katie, that's the way to do it.🙂

I managed to get weighed Saturday, in my wanderings, and I managed to lose 1 lb since December. I am relieved in that I was so sure I had gained weight after the whole broken leg thing. I probably did, but have been a few weeks 'set free' now, so I maybe had gained and then lost. Nonetheless: I have a starting point again, and control over the menus. So 2018 eating plan begins in earnest this week.

Vince_UK · Mar 28, 2018

I have seemed to plateaued, maybe the warmer weather here will make it easier🙄

Dusty48 · Mar 30, 2018

Maintained this week,after gaining a pound 2 weeks running. I need to get back to basics and sort out exactly what style of dieting I am following!🙂 I seem to dither between low carb,and SW low fat,mostly on the same day so I achieve nothing

And ill health,depression and family problems have added to the burden.I'm still getting used to having to cook for Mr Dusty since he came back,and I dont seem to find time to get my head around my own needs or plan meals.Come on Dusty,focus.😡
All last year I avoided carbs,but I see they have slowly been infiltrating,I am back to eating a lot of potatoes(roasted in oil😱)which is a major culprit of my bouncing between the same 3 pounds over the last two months I'm sure.
New month starting,maybe better weather soon,so I hope to sort things out.

Vince_UK · Mar 30, 2018

You are doing well Dusty Just take it slowly
The nicer weather does help I find, we tend not to eat so much and outside being more active

But if you don’t want to lose more weight Vince, maybe that’s a good thing? Either way, well done on all you have achieved to date! 🙂

Dusty hi. Congratulations for being able to walk without your stick, well done. I was recommended Leslie Sansone's Walk Away the Pounds by a forum member. It's a Get Fit Fast with this In-Home Walking Workout DVD. You walk 3miles and only walk at your own speed if you can't keep up ~ and in your own home🙂 I purchased it from www.amazon.co.

At the time I ordered it I purchased another of Sansone's DVD's called Belly Blasting Walk but I haven't used this yet so I can't comment on it. I thought I'd mention these two DVD's to you Dusty after reading your post above in the hope it will motivate you until warmer and dryer weather returns. Good luck.

Hi folks. I haven't weighed myself for ages ~ been a bit scared to stand on the scales to be honest (You've been there?!) and I've been putting it off. Well today I gritted my teeth and stood on the scales ~ didn't dare look down at first but when I did I was surprised to see that I've lost 12lbs since Christmas. I jumped off the scales and then stood back on them again and peered down at the numbers. Yes, 12lbs ~ yippee! I'm so pleased ~ elated even. Now the hard bit starts ~ to ensure sure I don't pile on the weight again. So here goes.............watch this space!🙂

Actually WL 12lbs is a lot so you have done really well 🙂

Let's just say I'm 1st 2lbs overweight but ideally I would like to lose just that amount or more if I can. That would bring me in line with my weight last year when my weight plateaued and so neither gained nor lost. I began to put on weight after my collapse last year (In the meantime Christmas came & went) and because I suffered bruised ribs I couldn't really exercise so the extra lbs began to show and all in the wrong places of my anatomy!🙄

Blah!😡 I'm careful with my diet so I can only assume it's lack of exercise that's preventing me to lose weight ~ I've got to shift it tho somehow. Where there's a will there's a way!🙂

Yes I know Vince and thanks ~ its just 2lb shy of 1stone. I lost my appetite when I had my chest infection and was on Penicillin so I reckon that's when I lost some weight ~ not truly the right way to lose weight is it? But now that I've shed the 12lbs I have to ensure that I dont pile it on again which would be very easy to do whilst not exercising🙄
