Wednesday Weigh In

Down 1. I can sure relate to all the special occasions. Everything served is guaranteed to make you gain.

Scotbird, I'm in the same mental state as you. Will continue to exercise and try to eat healthy. But no real hope of getting back into size 12.

I really appreciate your attitude- to be good with where you are. But I can’t believe I’m staying at this weight- almost 10% more of my body weight- without eating more or exercising less. And I’m so tired... it has to be the Tamoxifen. Anyway no loss for me. No gain, but in the upper reaches of where I feel comfortable.

up 1. I think my body is in rebound from spring break...while I am back on the normal exercise and eating, I am way down on the level of exercise we had over break...some days mr. fitbit said I had over 100 minutes of activity! DH is away this week on business so will try harder... TT Happy Spring!

Haven't checked in here in a while, but just got on the scale and I was 147.5 - definitely up since we started our RV trip. I'm not surprised, my pants are not as loose as they were at the start of this trip. We will be on the road for another 2-3 weeks, but when I get home I need to get back on track.

I am down from yesterday, but up 5 lbs from my low a few months ago. My weight can fluctuate 2 to 3 lbs from one day to the next, depending on carb and salt consumption. Off to the gym today.

That’s fantastic Two Hobbies well done! I’m hovering around the same level. I’d rather be lighter - I’m exercising daily, BMI is 24 and I’m feeling well so I’m OK with it. I’ve managed to eat a vegan diet for the whole of March, with only a couple of days where I lapsed. I have missed eggs and cheese, and milk in my coffee but otherwise it has been surprisingly easy. X

I forgot to weigh yesterday, but today I'm down 5. I'll take it although it bounces around.

well I’m back in again, hopefully I’ll keep at it this time! I’m doing an online 30 day low carb challenge. Cost $100 and I know all the stuff, but I guess if it works it will be worth it to my health. It’s run by 2 Australian dieticians on Facebook, and they do a few live streams. People r encouraged to post up photos and get feedback. They post their meals too, and show us Australian brands that they use and where to get them, which is helpful. We have to do a weekly meal plan to make us think.

I’ve had 2 meals out and for once chose low carb meals! And I’ve stopped drinking for the time being. It’s actually a much less restrictive low carb, we r allowed to have any fruit in moderation and most above ground veges as much as u like.

Anyway I’ve lost 1.5kg in the first week! Hooray. Keep at it everyone.

Has anyone tried the Jenny Craig diet? I know the weight loss would only be one stage. Then maintenance, the big challenge.

oh, but Wren, that does sound delicious. I’m still the same weight, which is somewhere about 8-10 lbs over. Next week is spring cleansing fast week, which, according to Ayurveda, gives the digestive sys a break. I hope to lose a few lbs then. Tamoxifen is crushing me, its depression cloud driving me to chocolate and carbs. I’m soooooo tired. Bone tired.

Great news from all the losers this week. Keep at it!

Only down 0.1kg this week. Oh well, better than a gain. The nutritionists emphasise 5 veges a day, and 30mls water per kg, which Im trying to follow, so I guess I’ll get healthier. Only a palm size of protein because excess protein is converted to fat. They say many people eat too much protein. And I’m still off alcohol, even when I go out, so that will definitely help. Keep going all 😎

BellaTassie, that all sounds like good advice. Five servings of fruit and veggies is my minimum, which is easier than 5 veggies. I am up half a kilo since seeing my onc, the Guardian of my body weight. He really has managed to have me keep my weight stable all these years. My next appointment is in October but the summer and getting into my bathing suit will help me lose a bit more before then. 

Good for you, Ruthbru!  

I'm in the range of my current overweight status!  l lb up from yesterday.  Yesterday I was down 1 lb.  

Not sure what's going on here. Mon = top number of OK range. Tue = 1 lb higher. Wed = 1 more lb higher. I don't think I ate a lot of salt, so how can in vary so much? Obviously something needs to change.
