A great loss Di - keep going, you are doing great.
 
Finding it really hard to get back on track

Well done everyone.

I am finding it really hard to get back on track.

Really need to get myself motivated again and get the 5 pounds I have put back on over Christmas and more. That 5 pounds back on has really made a difference as well to my tummy and face. I then need to go on and loose another 2 and a half stone but hey hoe one chunk at a time 😱

Was really hard getting myself sorted this week as I have been working in Birmingham last week and staying in a hotel............very hard when you are choosing from a room service menu :(. Unfortunately i am there again this week from Tuesday to Thursday but no excuses got to get myself back on track.

Just treat myself to a Telly for my little bedroom where my exercise bike is so now going to start cycling my way through at least one soap per night🙂

You can do it Sheilagh! The telly is a very good idea - I find I need a distraction if I go on the EB otherwise I fall off it from sheer boredom! 🙂

Hi Sheilagh - does the hotel have a gym or pool? Quite a few do now - even if only basic. When I work in Ireland, I tend to do one of either gym or swim, and always after dinner - this then makes me think of how much I am eating. Or if no gym, how about a long walk and maybe some sit ups, press up type things afterwards? Often I find its boredom when in the hotel - might be worth a try? If they do have a pool/gym they tend to open very early and close very late. Good luck with it all.

thats what i do, for me its friends. If not on tv (usually is at the time i exercise), i have the dvds, i run through 1 or 2 episodes. It gets me through every time!
 
I really must try this on the treadmill. I use the Ipod at the moment, but its worth trying watching the tv - just hope I don't fall off!
 
Well done Di!


does that make 12lbs now?
 
It certainly does Tracey - Sorry Di - didn't mean to miss your fantastic 2lbs off the count.

Total Group Loss for 2011: 12 lbs:D

Thanks Lucy the hotel has a gym but I usually avoid it as it full of men I work with. And as I am not very fit yet would feel embarresed being in the gym whilst they are there..........silly I know.😱 Will defintely go for a walk though. Will be glad when Thursday comes around and I am back home. Am really going to step my exercise bike and walking up a gear then to make up for the last few weeks. I am going to create a little weekly chart with tick boxes to encourage me along the way with the exercise. As for the diet going to spend the 2 nights in the hotel planning my next fortnights menu's to get me back on track and get that Christmas 5 pounds weight back off. If I don't manage to get that off in the next 4 weeks I am going to join Weight Watchers.

Two episodes of Coronation street tomorrow night so thats an hours exercise bike cycling in the bag 🙂

Hi All

I have finally got my act together and started my diet again yesterday. I was lucky to have only put on 1lb over the christmas period which is hardly surprising as I stopped the swimming. I am starting up the swimming again tonight so I am hoping for a good loss this week. It's nice to be back 🙂 good luck everyone xx
 
Well done Di great result 🙂.

Hi Emma, good luck putting on only 1lb over the Christmas period is a major achievement - well done 🙂.
 
I'm a newbie in all senses.... but count me in!!! :D
 
I hope that my weight loss counts on the board. I was diagnosed on wednesday and have lost 3lbs since then.... although I put on 4lbs over the festive period :( I know it is all water.... but 3lbs is 3lbs LOL :D

I will try to weigh-in on mondays as I do that on another forum (nothing to do with diabetes).... unless everyone else prefers fridays :confused:
