Weight Loss

elainebadknee

Hiya

Ive been cutting back since last winter in aim to lose about 2 stone to be able to get my knee operation.
So far went to see dietician beginning of March she told me id lost 6 pounds which was very happy with...So been sticking to it, still having my wee things such as unsalted nuts and raisins before tea and a wee bit of mint choc dark chocolate too (maybe only once a week if that).....Hopped on scales today and ive lost another 4 pounds....
The thing that confuses me is that they weigh me in kilos but tell me what ive lost in pounds and we've only got old style scales so it may not be bang on accurate but its about 4 pounds......
Im doing it slowly....But getting there....

well done elaine
i too have problems with my weight and know how hard it is to loss it.
even a pound is an achievement when you have problems with your knees and pain everyday.
you can convert th weight using a converter on the pc from yahoo or google.

keep up the good work and take care. xx

Elaine, well done you are doing great it is much better to lose it slowly.
I am sure you will be able to lose all the weight you need to.
a little treat is a good thing it stops you feeling restricted and then craving even more
I managed to lose 4 stone to have a hysterectomy unfortunately i then got Ra and put it back on which is a real bummer but i am like you working on losing it slowly.

I hope you get to your required weight soon and can have your op.

Keep up the good work

Tracey.

Hi Davina

Well yeah i think if youre not naturally thinner then its always a struggle and I put it on so much easier than lose it!
Im happy with my slow progress, as long as i go in right direction its happy days..
I know about convertor, got one on me phone but it just cionfuses me when trying to think about it!

You know when youre on medication and other stuff such as meds the weight can creep on...I guess it all about self control....You did dam good losing 4 stone and at least you know you can do it...Positive thoughts!!

Hi....Its automatic online that I use Hileena now.....LOL
It started years ago when I was in a group and went into our chat room as Eileen......chat is very fast and someone typed Hi Leena [got his fingers mixed up} so Hileena its been ever since on line....means no matter where i go people recognise the name.....if people have different nick names for different groups it gets confusing

Hi Michelle

Oh slimfast...Good luck with that, it only gave me terrible tummy probs but i didnt realise had IBS...
I know its hard trying to lose weight when on meds but we all do what we can within reason.
I guess tips to lose weight, use smaller plates, smaller portion sizes, eat natural yogurt with fruit.....Its all about everything in moderation..

Good luck
