it seems that i am not only slow in losing weight, but as well to undersatand what is all about, sorry, please explaine to very old mind of mine what is all about ...thanks after i will understand i am sure will be like

especially if you have to endure them for several years!

Well I for one am glad that the marriage dresses for "congenital abunda" are gone! They were ghastly :shock:

Weirder than usual!

I have reported the last comment.

that is what i did !! some slice of lemon some ice cubes and some fresh mint in, that is great! and tea fruits i tried it as well but not in a conventional way, but from stawebery leaves (from the plants) and some lavendel (very very little other wise it is like drinking soap).
steer it with hot water, make it very very concetrated and keep it in the freege when needed. as well
nes cafe with some ice cold water it is great!! some times i add Stivia leaves to it, and some times not (as well from a plant not from a shop other wise i dont know what there is in)
success to all!

DH (who is also trying to ose weight) has transfered to drinking chilled sparkling water with ice & lemon instead of alchol (beer)- just a thought for you to perhaps try.

Alternatively if you can find a fruit tea that you like, make it up before hand and but it in the fridge to chill and have with ice cubes (always assuming you are any good at forward planning that is - I tend to fail dismally at this )

congratulations to you too!!
i hope that i or better said, my body will find the right way!
what i find is that BBQ are easy for me as well! meat, and veg. no alcohol that is little sorry for my self
but i am over it when i am thinking it will cost me dearly....
cheers

WHOO - HOO! - CONGRATULATIONS to you!

I bet that feels wonderful to have got moving at last in a downward direction.

I thought that I was going to have another upwards blip whilst on holiday last week - as you say it is when eating outside the home that it gets difficult - but I managed to get to under 11 stone, which I am pleased about.

hey guys,
good news!!!! after 6 weeks i lost one kilo!!! i am so happy that i lost some, if i lose about 7 kg a year it will be great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
thanks for the support, an good luck every body.
now i have the 'salad period' -
ijsberg salad
cut in slices (all the salad head) big chunks,
add little salt, and eat while see tv! some fresh cumcumbers as well, some times i add pickled lemons on it - devine!!!
have a good one, cheers

hi rosmary, i was disable from the TQS for few days, that is why i am answer with a delay.

with me as i said, try the most of the diet, following religiously to the letter, until now not even one gram left me for good..

i cant say that i dont get more weight, because i keep fluid (i dont know the term) in my body, so some times i get scared to see
that i gained 5 kg in 12 hours, but lucky me it gets off after few days and i am back to my 'traditional' weight .

i think after all it is an easy diet to follow! but not when you are out side of home, that is a continue struggle, but as i said i am the best student ever, and stand against all the temptations.

i hope you will get soon to the wished weight!! (as i wish for my self)

have a great summer (?)

cheers

A day early this week, but just a check in as to how you are doing. Failing that done any interesting sewing?

for myself, the cheese cake did much worse damage than I thought (up to 11 st 4 lb ) and meant that it took until the end of the week to get back to where I started from. Bodies are funny things when you start trying to change them around. Hope to be a bit more succcesful this week and break the 11 stone barrier (going downwards)
