Wednesday Weigh In

Down .4 of a pound. My taste has come back so now it will be harder to loss weight!

Up 2...can I lose 10 lbs before I see my surgeon in two weeks?

Oh...that is for my 2 year post follow up...no new events planned here. TT

I was down 3 at 1 point this week but down just1 today. Going in the right direction - mostly. constant struggle but the struggle is the thing. I’ll never give up - if I did I reckon I would put on about 30 lbs in a year and I would feel much worse. I tell myself I am enjoying the struggle.

down .5 ....yes ScotBird the struggle continues...TT

Down 4.5 lbs this week, I have been experimenting with alternate day fasting, and this week I did two two day fasts, In other words I only ate on 2 days out of the last 7. That certainly works if you want to lose weight. Surprisingly easy to do! I'm preparing myself for much feasting over Christmas

I cannot fast. I have Type 2 diabetes and feel really weak when I miss a regular meal. However, I MUST get serious about losing some weight added to already weighing too much. The number on the scale is frightening. It will take meal planning and wise food shopping.

Wish me some "stick-to-ive-ness."

Carole, My DD has had good luck limiting her carb intake. She has also tested after eating certain foods to see what they do to her blood sugar. Sometimes it's pretty surprising.

Up 0.5lbs this week, despite fasting on 3 days. Carole I am wishing you stick-to-it-iveness. I am no diabetic but fasting does make me really bad tempered at times and I also struggle with concentration. Apart from the cross moods I much prefer my slimmed down self and feel so much better and more “me” when I don’t have so much excess baggage. My clothes feel more comfortable too. So I am setting myself the goal of sticking with alternate day fasting (which I started 6 weeks ago) until at least mid-March (my birthday). And I will try to do a longer fast of 2 days at least once each month. And I will also aim to take some proper exercise every single day. Early New Year resolutions. Wishing everyone here a wonderful Christmas and I for one am looking forward to no food restrictions at all and lots of feasting for one day only.

Up another pound. I have done zero baking but people keep sending or bringing us goodies and/or meat/cheese trays!

Thanks for the tip Wren - drinking more water has definitely helped. Still, I’m up 2lbs this week - not surprised as I feasted a lot over Christmas. I’m down 15lbs since summer, and have managed to keep the weight off. I still want to lose 10lbs more, so Iwill keep going with alternate day fasting, as it seems to work for me. I have started weightlifting, which should help too. Happy New Year to everyone here!

Up 1 from last week. I've just been a lot hungrier. I'll get in some exercise tomorrow. Today is pouring rain.

I am committing to get back on track starting right now!

unbelievably I am exactly the same weight this week as I was last week, despite fasting on on Thursday, Friday, sunday and Monday! I will persevere with my plan to fast for 2 days out of three, because surely I must lose weight on this regime. I will report back next week. I have not been exercising enough, so will definitely try to do more of that too. TrmTab 11lbs is the exact amount I want to lose too!

I am down 1.5lbs this week. I am “fasting” two days and then eating whatever I like every third day. I am finding it quite easy to stick to. On the fasting days I am eating apples an occasional light dinner and a glass of wine at 8pm., so only seni-fast

Down 1 since last week, but still up a bit from New Years...

ScotBird, I used to fast as a late aged teenager, which doubled as an excuse to not have to attend family dinner...now, I can't imagine not being at the dinner table for family time even when it is just DH and myself at the end of our work days. Good for you to be able to pull that off. TT
