Weight-Loss
Sorry to hear about your fall San. Great mini challenge for next week!

I have not drank any calories this week, but I've only got 3 days of exercise for an hour each. I didn't make my own personal challenge of no artificial sweetners as I had a diet ginger ale when my stomach was upset. Still one in a week is a major reduction and I am getting used to getting water everywhere I go and the savings will go towards my new bike. I don't think my loss will be very good, but I'm still hoping for a drop.
 
I got maximum points for exercise and nutrition :) - but lost less than a pound :(
I didnt even lose half a percent of my weight so no real weight loss points from me :(

Thankfully - the fact that I get all my exercise and nutrition points keeps my personal score in the challenge pretty good despite always struggling with weight loss... At least I always know that I get as much weight loss as I could get...
 
hey you guys. This morning I feel really low. a lot of things have been going on since last night..something really emotional & exhausting & possible impact on our future. I didn't get to go to bed until 2am and I didn't fall asleep until 6, and I slept a short hour. I am absolutely knackered.
I really don't want to/can't go into details. I am not sure how I gonna survive this weekend. I am all by myself right now. & zero friends & family here. I can't even think about food, let alone eat anything. uhm...I feel sick...
Everything happened after the gym last night. its something to do with my husband and his job.
in any case thanks to the nerves I probably end up losing more weight...

I lost 4.5 lbs this week. I am now 259. (down from 273 on Jan 9)

I copy result from score sheet:
Feb. 1 - lost 4.5 lbs & current weight is 259 lbs (1.71%) {overall: 12 lbs lost & 4.43%}
ex. points 13
mini chall. points 6
 
Feb. 1 _330.0 week -4.8 contest -15___
ex. points_8__
mini chall. points_7__

-19.2 from my December starting weight

You have done brilliantly with the exercise and mini challenge... Your weight loss is astoundingly good too - but if it is the result of anguish it is probably best to anticipate a weight gain over the next week.

I am truly sorry about the anguish...

Hopefully the job issue is not as bad as things at first seem.

I must admit that when things go really bad for me - I tend to revert to type and eat very badly and gain a lot of weight... For people inclined to be bigger than they would like - your way is probably a lot healthier in the long run...

I hope that you are telling your husband how worried you are... it is never good for us to hold these things in... maybe if you talk things through you can easier see your way through this problem...

I think that it would be a good idea to phone or email your family and friends... Even if you choose not to tell them everything about what is worrying you... People do not need to be with you in order to offer a little support...
 
Justina, so sorry to hear about that. I hope that everything works out for you and yours.

Guys I am feeling a little off. Went on the scale this morning, and I am only down 0.4lbs from last week. It was really discouraging when I went on the scale. The dang sucka is just not moving. Was about to do something dumb, which usually is eating some high carbohydrate or flour product, this is how in the past I dealt with the fact that the weight is not moving.

Caught my senses and grabbed the measuring tape. Now while my weight has fluctuated and from last Friday I have only lost less than half a pound, at one point is was lower, but anyway... grabbed the tape and I have lost another inch off my waist.

So, although the weight is upsetting me, this means that I have lost 2 inches off my waist since we started this thing. So, I guess I should thank God for small miracles.:hurray:

I lost less than a pound too so a lot of us get discouraging news at the scales from time to time... I can be just like you and eat when something negative happens...

Your posting is a lesson to us all that we should maybe all be getting out the tape measure every week too... I must admit that I havent been doing that since my big weight loss project ended...

Well done for losing those inches... Remember - none of your friends or neighbours have any idea what you weight... They look at you... The inches are what they see - not the pounds...
You have lost some of those inches. :party:
 
A loss is a loss Transparent. If your doing well with your diet then stalled weightloss means a big drop in your future. Another inch off the waist is big!
 
Hi guys thanks for the support. I just have to wait and see.

Omega - this thing is really complicated. & what makes it the hardest it that i really cant talk about it to anyone.

Well done guys on points/losses.
 
I updated my score sheet. Not happy at all this week. I lost next to nothing, scale barely moved, and that is despite being good with my eating, and plenty of additional exercise and physically straining stuff.

Now, I'm still very bruised from my fall. My back, ankle and wrist are black and blue, and very swollen as well, so I'm suspecting there might be some water/other fluid added that will hopefully be gone by next week. Also, and this is a bit weird...since the fall, I'm struggling to go to the loo. Only been once since Wednesday, and that's unusual for me. I don't know if the fall can have something to do with that, or if it's just coincidence, but I am pretty sure that it added some numbers to the scales! :(

So hopefully next week things should go back to normal, and there will be a change in the numbers next Friday.

Have managed to walk for half an hour today, but had to stop because it was just too painful. But one point is better than none. And I had some prunes for breakfast, and a banana with my lunch, as well as a portion of peas and some peppers with my dinner. Trying to do well in my own challenge! *lol*

Its a pity that you do not have a close friend or relative that you can confide in... :hug2:

I really hope that things look brighter for you soon.
 
San - if you are taking codeine, constipation is a side effect, eat some prunes, pineapple, or kiwi fruit to help things along. I hope you feel better and better.

Justina sounds like a tough night, thinking of you, and hope that you and hubby can get a good nights sleep tonight, and that whatever is upsetting you gets resolved.
 
San - Drinking plenty of water and of course eating fibre are both good for constipation... It is good that you are eating the prunes and having those fruit and veg.

It is worth keeping in mind that liquids that contain caffeine cause dehydration so reducing coffee / cola while this is a problem may help too...

The big thing is lots of water.

Duh! I should have known that! And yes, I'm taking codeine, at night, to have any chance of getting at least a few hours of sleep. And I started taking it on Wednesday, after the fall....mystery solved, I guess. Prune juice, here I come! :) Thanks for helping my brain along, anna!

And Justina, same here, sorry to hear of the problems, and I have my fingers and everything else crossed that you will be able to find a solution and pull through it. *hugs*

Well, I've had 3 liters yesterday, and always over 2 the days before, so that should be okay. Fibre...yeah, I might have to work on that a little bit. But I think anna has the right idea in blaming the codeine. I will get some prune juice tomorrow, and keep up with the water etc. as well. I'm sure it'll sort itself out.

I have made it a point to stick with at least 2 liters of water per day, more if possible. And I have reduced my coffee intake to 1 (in words: ONE) cup of coffee with my breakfast. That's it. I'm actually quite proud of myself for that. I used to drink 2 pots of coffee at some point (equaling about 12 - 15 large mugs), plus coke. Nowadays I have my one coffee, and one glass (250 ml) of Pepsi Max at night as a treat. But that's it. And Pepsi is only allowed if I had all my water!
 
The codeine is right... It relaxes the muscles that move things along..... in the same way that pain killers kill the pain they also kill the sensation of peristaltic contractions in the colon. It is just a case of counterbalancing it to get things moving.

That is a brilliant coffee reduction. Well done...
 
No problem with the fruit and veg.

Friday I have had:
2 apples, tin apricots, 175g blueberries, 400g grapes
butternut squash, white onion, red onion, courgette, cherry tomatoes, red pepper, yellow pepper, green pepper

And of course I have done my exercise - outdoor walking... pedometer is currently on 25,557 steps.
