Hi Jalapino and Amanda, thats great about the steps Amanda, well done. I hope you don't mind me butting in on your post but as we are both trying to do the same thing I thought I would just join right on in !! Well I only managed 12 mins today on treadmill and it was in 2 bursts of 5mins and 7mins, not that good but I had done a lot of walking today as well, albeit in a shopping centre ' does that count 🙄 I am going to wear my pedomiter tom, that will be a shocker. I weighed myself this morning and I was 11stone 12 pounds, but 2 weeks ago I was 12stone 4pounds. Five years ago when my kidnets first started to deteriate quickly I weighed 9stone 2pounds 😱, I don't and cannot get back to that because I carry a lot of fluid with kidney problem and the drugs I take have had a hand in this as well, but mostly I am greedy It is official now I have publicly announced my weight I have to stick to my diet 😛 TinTin

I would not say that Kanga!!! if you put a 3 pound fish in front of you then I think you would be surprized how big it was?

Better to have lost 3 pounds than put another fish in front of you :D
 
Hi Kanga, that's really good losing 3 pounds. I am hoping to lose a pound a week if I can, it will take awhile but every little helps !

Morning Amanda and jalapino, hope walking still going strong Amanda. Damn I forgot to put ped on today and I've been running round the house all morning !! Chilli man how do you know so much about dieting ?, have you lost weight yourself or are you a closet dietician ? 😱 Am off out with a friend today and some walking will be required, have a good day everyone ...TinTin
 
Well done Kanga and TinTin with your weight loss. I was back down to 14 st 12lb this morning so happy with the one lb weight loss. I haven't eaten hardly anything today but have a very naughty indoor picnic planned😱 TinTin I've average just over 5000 steps for yesterday and today so I'm happy with that:D
 
Hi Amanda losing a pound is good, I am still the sam weight which is better than gaining weight. I managed 15 mins on walking machine today in one go so I am pleased with that. Don't know about my steps as I cannot remember to put my pedomiter on. Will sleep with it by the bed tonight 😉
 
Thanks TinTin🙂
 
Wow my weight does fluctuate. I had a naughty dinner last night but weighed 2lbs less this morning:confused: 14 st 10lbs I did weigh myself three times to check

You really REALLY need to insist that he stops bringing bad food home!! it is the only way you will start to feel better knowing there is no temptation....you really need to sit him down and explain that you want to lose weight but if he keeps bringing norty food home what chance do you have?
 
If only it was that easy jalapino, my husband who I love dearly is quite obstinate and kind of does exactly what he wants no matter what I say. He promises to help and then just carries on as normal ! I have given up trying to change him, after 28 years he is not going to alter his ways now. I have been trying to pursuade him to move to a bungalow for 19 years with no luck so now I just accept him as he is, he is great in other ways and I am sure having such an ill wife is no barrel of laughs for him either....TinTin

I understand what you are saying BUT!! it is not a case of changing him, it is a case that if he loves you he would and will help you and stick to it for your sake!!

Sometimes you just need to stick to your guns and keep on at him so that you will not take no for an answer! 🙂
 
I've done my steps today - over 8000 of them:D but I will need to pace myself after today to try to minimise CFS payback🙂
