Onwards and Downwards Continues in May 2013

Hello all,

Well, it looks like spring has finally arrived. I hope some of you are able to get out and about more. It is a well known fact that more exercise is a great way to help shed those pounds.

What is your favourite way of getting some fresh air?

We welcome anyone serious about losing weight and we offer support and kind thoughts - not magic fixes, just sensible help.

Don't forget your weekly weigh on Wednesday and remember we don't judge!

Here is last months thread

Well done everyone who lost. I have stayed the same this week but happy with that and even avoided a craving for a chinese tonight. Hope everyone has a nice bank holiday weekend.

Hi Jan don't worry What you have achieved is amazing. Good luck for next week. How is you foot progressing now?

Morning all. I'm popping my head round the door to say hello as I've been on holiday this week. I'll weigh on wednesday rather than now as I need a few days to get back on track!

I haven't been too naughty and tried hard to avoid the worst C's (cake, chocolate, cream, Cheesecake!, chinese, caramel etc) but i did have a few chips, cappuccinos and crisps :-)

We had a good time but wHo'd have thought we'd still be eating soup at the end of May.

[xstitcher]

Glad to have you back Maydup. If you live in Spain you will find out that soup is on the menu all year long and strangely enough very good on a hot day...they also have their cold soup but have nothing against eating a hot bowl of soup while sitting in the sun......

Good Morning All,

I've stayed the same this week. Hmmmmm. That huge loss last week was really over two weeks because I hadn't joined in for a week. Well anyway it certainly gave me the will to do well. I hope to hear from many of you today. It's been a quiet week out there.

[wendilla]

Morning xstitcher and followers. No loss either for me and I have been reasonable good . Weather not helping back to cold and rain again. I bought a load of salad on Monday but not salad eating weather. Well that's my excuse again. I think I may need to cut down on the double yoked eggs that I get from the farm as Ratters pointed out the calories lol.

[RATTER15]

Goodmorning all, I havent weighed yet and I've almost certainly gained, I blame the Greek style yoghurt I made, it was just irresistible :-(

[xstitcher]

The egg yolks have a LOT of fat in them. That is why we like them of course. If I remember correctly they are something like 13% fat.

Try the fat free yogurt Ratter. It won't be the same but it is good.

[RATTER15]

Grrr, Ive gained 1lb, the weight loss has certainly slowed, I'm now having to fight for every lb.

Congrats to the losers this week :-)

I will have a very strict day today I think :-(

[xstitcher]

According to this I got the fat % wrong. It is interesting for we egg lovers.

[mallyh]

i'm still plodding along losing 1lb here and there but i'm too worried about my daughter to be bothered about my fat .

[RATTER15]

Xstitcher, I hate the fat free yoghurts, The other reason that I have a full fat yoghurt is it fills me up a lot more and I only have 100 grams with my sliced banana, so not a lot of calories. My problem was, I make my own yoghurt but this time I made a Greek style yoghurt, it was really nice and I consumed a lot more than I ought, I just fancied a change in texture :-(

[RATTER15]

xstitcher, its a real bummer for me, I only eat about 3 or 4 eggs a week from my own chickens that are laying about 20 eggs a day Grrr The dogs and neighbours love them though.

[wendilla]

Hi Ratters I am fighting too a losing battle at the moment.
Mallyh sorry to hear that you are worrying about your daughter it is not easy when you have something on your mind especially family. Hope things turn out ok .

[Old_Geezer]

Down 1lb, but there again I have been/am ill which tends to skew any desire to eat.

[mallyh]

thanks wendilla, we find out today wether her cancer has spread.

[xstitcher]

Goodness Ratter, you are living in egg heaven and I'm spoiling it all for you....off with my head.

[xstitcher]

Aw poor you OG. I hope you are well soon. Loosing weight because of illness doesn't give much satisfaction does it.
