Good morning all,

Lots of lovely summer veg in the supermarkets. If I grill mine I use olive oil...for some reason it’s the best oil for we weight losers. You can get fancy bottles with different tastes added or do it yourself...great for a hostess gift.

[Old_Geezer]

Almost missed this one.
Matters little, nothing to report again.
Good luck to the rest of you.

Woops I seem fo have lost a day . No loss so probably stay the same next week.

[Old_Geezer]

Managed to weigh myself again. In 5 weeks eating minimally during the day and overeating late evening, usually with a pint of ale, has dropped me 1.4 lbs ! So that's what I've been doing wrong.

[Old_Geezer]

And down another 1.6 lbs in 24 hours ????
Hmmm pity I won't get the chance to weigh again for some time.

[ummmm]

OG...we weighed ourselves after coming back from an all inclusive holiday. I was a stone up, he didn't put on anything, but the next morning I was only 7lb up. I haven't weighed myself since.

[wendilla]

Going the right way for you OG .you may have found what you were doing wrong now .
Ummmmm
It must have been all that full inclusive booze lol

I have cut down on bread to one slice of toast instead of two and taken my own advice and cut portions down resulting in a 2 lb loss . Also it is easier now to work out my weekly meals doing an on line shop .

[ummmm]

Yes...and the mocktails :-)

[Old_Geezer]

Dash it ! Seems to have come back again :-(

A late good morning all,
Hope your scales are being kind to you. All hoes well at my end. Now and then it jumps up 2 pounds from one day to the next but that’s just water retention and then I take an extra water pill as instructed and the next day I’m back to normal. I’ve found out that with the weight loss I can now eat more fruits without any problems with my blood sugar so am able to enjoy far more than last year.

[wendilla]

forgot to weigh yesterday but have stayed the same which is ok as this is my usually pattern .Just don't want any gains .

[xstitcher]

Hi wendilla, better late than never as they say. Like you my goal now is keeping a stable weight. I can’t believe that as I was putting all the weight on I didn’t weigh myself.

[Old_Geezer]

It's how one slips back up :-(
Nice to think one need not weigh as one has developed good eating habits but things change slowly, imperceptibly, especially if going through an emotional time.

Project Rowan.... starting at a horribly high bmi, but finally able to make my own choices, when my cellulitis gets sorted I will start walking, Will get myself referred back to the weight loss team and I might be able to create space for a folding exercise bike. I have Dave's voice in my head telling me to do what makes me happy.

[Old_Geezer]

Good for you !

Meanwhile I lost again over the last 24 hours. Hopefully hot weather helps.

[rowanwitch]

It helps me, just want to drink, bought some posh cordial, not having very often because they contain sugar but sometimes water isn't what you want. Luckily I have good tastebuds and a little goes a long way. Ordered 8 bottles of fizzy water in this weeks shopping
