I think that sounds wise.

Thank you Grovesy

I'm pleased to say that I've kept to my calories everyday since Sunday. Some days have been a challenge but I've managed it 🙂 I've now lost three pounds since Sunday so my weight is 15 stones 4lbs.

Great start Amanda. 🙂 You'll get there!

 

[grovesy]

Well done.

 

[AJLang]

Thank you Lindarose and Grovesy.

I think I need to resurrect this. I'd been putting off standing on the scales for a long while but on Monday took a big breath and subsequently burst into tears and hid under my duvet when I discovered that I'd put on several pounds and my weight had gone up to a shocking 15st 13lbs.
But I pulled myself together, set myself a calorie maximum of 1450 calories a day and have lost two pounds in three days 🙂
I've also got a notice board arriving this evening where I'm going to put "trophy" stickers for each pound that I lose. I've also written down a week-by-week weight target to get down to 9st 4lbs by my 50th birthday. I have looked at slimming groups but due to my Gastroparesis none of them are suitable so I'm recording everything on MyFitnessPal. My biggest challenge will be minimising wine, always my Achilles heel 🙂
Plan for today:
Breakfast: Slice of fruit bread with butter
Lunch: Three TUC biscuits with a tablespoon of hummous
Snack: A packet of Wotsits
Dinner: A Jamie Oliver Italian dish which has layers of aubergines, tomatoes and parmesan which is then topped with mozzerella and panko breadcrumbs.
two slices of garlic ciabatta bread
A small glass of wine
Total 1431 calories 🙂

That leaves me with 292 calories to play with 🙂

Good luck, but you have had alot to deal with lately.

Thank you Wirralass 🙂 x Pleased to say that I've lost another pound so that's three pounds this week, although I expect the weight loss to now slow. I'd be very happy with one pound a week 🙂

It wouldn't be so bad being 15 and a 1/2 but you don't stay there...I'd be back to 18 3 before I knew it. It's so hard to lose weight, but keep going, we'll be rooting for you. 🙂
