I've given up with the scales, but I now need braces on my knickers. Either a weight loss or elastic perished.

Slow but sure, down to 100kg today

Down to 101.7kg today. Doctor sending me to Allied Health Professionals and upped my medication. Thought I was losing, my leggings keep dropping :)

Thanks, I'll have a look. The young chap in shorts doing the talking puts me off straight away though, there should be an ordinary person. Far less intimidating. It was the same when I attended a weight control group run by the council. The girl in charge was like a fashion model, needless to say there were not many 'club…

We're on the move again 105.2 today :)

Down to 106kg today...slow progress. :)

Thanks Jo,

5 days on and my weight is 108.3kg yet doing the same thing. What a weird body I have.

I must be doing something right at last. Weight on Jan 7th 111.2kg Weight on Jan 11th 107.9kg 31kg to go.

Thanks, you are correct, sorry, typo it was 1.3 ounces spaghetti which should have been 35cal (verified) bread is 45g a slice =158 (verified) I'd put 2 for the value of 1 biscuit, it was a cheap brand, smaller biscuits, the packet says 64 cal per biscuit.(verified) Cheese is pre sliced 1oz slice farmers =104 cal (verified)…

Thanks jo To be honest, I'm not too bothered about food, it's just a necessity, you'd never catch me dining out that's for sure ;) Yesterday I resurrected the scales and weighed everything. I think I have calculated correctly (MFP sheet below) Looks like I am in calorific credit :) I still have the rubber resistance band…

Thanks for the advice, I'll certainly look into that. The Onelife team have been in touch and will also be helping so hopefully I can make progress.

Thanks, I have contacted them but due to the current situation there is a long wait. I do have blood checks to monitor my meds and so far there are no problems. I've been on the same menus for three years, I find that as I don't expend a lot of energy, I don't feel the need to eat much more and don't snack in between.

Thanks for the replies...The 1100 calories was set when I was assessed by a health professional at"OnelifeSuffolk" about three years ago, it's a local government run health system with once a month weigh ins and blood pressure checks. I began following a heart attack after weighing in at 115kg (18 stone). I also have high…

I've just lost several pounds....as in £ UK Sterling. Car gone wonkey :(

Dusted off the scales again...I'm up by 8 pounds since my last check in a few weeks ago. Considering I'm totally housebound at the moment with our lockdown I suppose it could be a lot worse. Just looked, last weigh in was 51 days ago so I've gained 2.4 ounces a day

Thanks last time I swam was with the Navy in 1980 for the "duck test", the language then was ripe I can tell you :)

Yeeeup....that's just as I thought..... Obliques? abdominal? planks? that's an alien language to me and best avoided :)

Don't you just love the size of trainers in these fitness videos? and what on earth is engaging the core?

Another weigh in today, just under a pound loss. At least I'm not gaining which is a good thing. Strange thing is I never ever get the munchies at night...but just lately I have experienced cravings.

The 1100 a day was set by the fitness people at "One Life Suffolk" when my GP advised me I needed to lose weight following a heart attack. It was calculated taking into consideration that I am not very mobile so my exercise is zero. (No change there) but it did work and I lost over 50 pounds. Diet wise my food is pretty…

A bit disappointed today, checked the weight and it's exactly the same as 12 days ago yet my calorie intake is the same 1100 a day. Do I need to reduce even more?

This is a tricky time for me. I've fixed my motor scooter (Piaggio 250cc) so in theory I should be able to get out of the house. The trouble is I can get on it, ride it, stop it.....but I can't get off it due to my dicky hip. The temptation to relive my youth is very hard to resist .

I plucked up courage and mounted the footplate...........I've lost 4.4 pounds over 24 days. Good or bad?

I'm trying hard but I'm scared to get on the scales in case I fail.

I'm 20 pounds lighter today........That's £20 GBpounds. Car needed an exhaust repair. :)

I've identified two of the causes of my weight gain.... it's down to these two. Every night at 9pm they gang up on me for toast. How can I refuse? Trouble is the smell is so tempting I have to join in.

A parcel arrived this morning from my other daughter. She really tries to help.(not) A bottle of Cabernet Sauvignon, a large box of liquorice, and a wine glass that holds a full bottle of wine! Bless her...............Get Thee Behind Me etc.

Thats a great photo Ann I try to keep moving even if it's my fingers on the keyboard, I took a stroll round the garden with my camera and on the Sea Holly I saw a little yellow,orange,and black smudge. It turned out to be a Harlequin Ladybird Larvae. Thought I'd share it.

I have plenty of hats so I cut my own hair :) Question: My health adviser says I should restrict my calories to 1100 a day, if I do, MFP tells me I'm not eating enough. Who do I believe?
