I also have a problem eating my calories every day..either because I am working or just not hungry...I find that using a protein shake is the best way to fill in the gaps as they are quick to make. I have also divided my food diary into 6 sections - breakfast, mid morning snack, lunch, afternoon snack, dinner and…

i have not used it as a diet plan for years....I use it now as a supplement to boost up my calorie intake when no time to sit down for a meal.

another week at the same weight !!!.... I started back playing golf on Saturday and am away from Weds for 2 weeks on a business trip so not sure when or if i will be able to next weigh myself but will at least try to up my calories to cover the extra activities..(golf etc). So...catch up soon !!

What is/was holding me back? *I think the fact that food is not something I tend to crave and that I really enjoy my work...meaning I skip meals, am not hungry or am quite happy with a cup of tea is holding me back.....but I am finding MFP is really helping by making me think about the fact I have to get my calories in...…

What's a burpee ????

:grumble: No weight loss this week...any ideas on how to boost my metabolism ????
-
Thanks Vicki - that sounds like a good idea. Here is Spain it is the local doctor we have to go through to get the appointment with a specialist ...so when I go back next week to get the results I will ask for an appointment with the endocrinologist...if she doesn't want to give me an appointment then I will go…

One of the great things about this thread is that reading through everybody else's experience has allowed me to take a step back and realise that I am doing okay...and that I am responsible for my own state of mind...now if I could just remember where I left it!!!!
-
Yea....started to move the dial on the scale again....a 0.4kg/1lb loss !!!! We had our first day of rain in Spain today....looking forward to some great casseroles and stews when the weather cools a bit.... Well done to all the losers this week.... What is the best thing to do to boost fat burning or rev up my metabolism?
-
Thanks!....I checked out the Mayo Clinic link and it is amazing that more than half of the things I have been to the doctor for over the last three years are ALL listed on the symptoms chart !!......but I don't think my doctor has ever looked at everything together just treated each symptom as a natural progression of…
-
<p<I visited my doctor on Monday and requested they run my bloods again...issue is that I don't think the levels they use here (i am in Spain) are consistent with those used in UK or USA. My last couple of tests have shown I am borderline (on Spanish levels) - but when I had my first thyroid problem they told me I was…
-
I have the same problem so have divided my diary into 6 sections breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner and extras. This helps me keep to some sort of routine when eating (as I tend to forget and go for hours with nothing) and I have found 0% yoghurts handy and if I really can't get the calories in then a protein shake is…

No loss but no gain...have stayed at 74.9kilos but....although I have not measured actual measurements I bought a new pair of trousers and only needed to buy a size 42 so have gone down a size !!!! yea... Managed to complete all the challenges except the push ups...just could not get them going at all ! Right, come on team…

Weigh in this morning...still heading in the right direction...now at 74,9kilos so a loss of 0.5kg...1.1lb..! A bit disappointed though...need to boost my metabolism to burn more....
-
No partner this week.....coach rockstar...where are you ?
-
I am also one of those weird people that when I go on a diet....I have to eat more than I usually would...and that is such insane thinking that .....the opposite of what most people think about on a diet..! I eat reasonably healthy...lots of salad, fish, chicken...a couple of yoghurts a day in the summer...and would always…
-
Compared to what some of the girls here are dealing with I would appear to be very lucky. My periods were normal and I felt fine. I had experienced maybe 1 or 2 hot flashes...but nothing major (and as it was October/November they just sort of warmed me up to normal as I feel the cold a lot). And I sort of…
-
oh..oh...didn't quite make it this week...but at least the scales are still heading in the right direction..... 1.4lb Have had a couple of days where I couldn't reach the 1200 calories.....will have to try to get those calories in next week...
-
Hope I made the cut off in time....tried to log on all day but could not get a connection as I was up in a lovely Spanish village working at a wedding and the internet connection was down as there was a forest fire !!...Helicopters out dropping water, firefighters out and we just managed to get all the guests up before the…

Yippee - it's working !!! Starting weight - week 1 - 169.4lbs / 77 kilos Starting weight - week 2 - 167.3lbs / 75.9 Loss of 2.1lbs / 1.1 kilos roll on week 2 ! (or should that read rolls off on week two..lol)
-
I am in Spain so I hope tomorrow morning will be okay....(that is in about 8 hrs)....
-
General question... I consider myself to have been very lucky with menopause symptoms - and it is really only in the last year that I noticed the weight creeping up and being unable to lose it with a week or two of watching my diet. I had been taking soya tablets for the first 18 months as I thought they were all natural…
-
Similar ages but I stopped after two...managed a girl and a boy so thought best to leave it at that.! My son is 27 and my daughter 28....until Sept 24th when my daughter turns 29....yikes...where have the years gone ?
-
Looks like the scales might finally be making a move in the right direction !! Now the question is what will they say in the morning ? The first weigh in looms.....
-
This sounds like the perfect group for me ! Gmomlyn....you and I could be sisters as apart from a couple of tweaks - I am not 53 until December, have 2 children and 1 grand-daughter but no dog anymore...our stories are almost identical... :laugh: Throw in some thyroid and IBS issues and there you have my life story..
-
Layer chicken on bottom of roasting tin...sprinkle liberally with curry powder and paprika..then onions, carrots, red and green peppers..any vegetables you have to hand ....great served with a big salad...very tasty...
-
Maybe you could find a Tea Brack..or a Molly Malone Fish Pie....or failing that....just load up a tray with sausages, rashers and maybe black or white pudding if you can find it...

Ah Philip....Dublin Coddle on a Saturday night...it's your only man ! (if cooked right of course)...lol
