Hey clewliss, I think the key to staying motivated is to write it down why you are doing this...then put it somewhere you will see it everyday..i too found it so difficult to get started, like your self i had the dvds, books, exercise classes nearby but for the life of me just couldn't get started... i deided then to sit…

dewpearl :flowerforyou: thats a good idea i shall ensure that i fit in a walk tomorrow, as i need to pop out to the store for some easy to eat baby like food lol...fresh air will also feel good against my swollen face. many thanks love skiski xxx

Fab140 awww thank you for the get well soon...I love cats lol...you are inevitbley right afew days wont ruin me just i am in such a routine with it all it is a bit odd not having it as part of my day you know? But i will take heed and dig out some dvds to pass the days...i guess it only a case of a week right? xxx…

Hi Erin, Ouch...before thanks giving that sa bit harsh! My teeth were also impacted...Like the suggestions reagrding what to eat and the extra protein, i did not know it helped healing- I will pop out the the store tomorrow...totally agree it is difficlt without a straw lol!!!!my dr was not exactly forthcoming with ideas…

Hi Fab140...:flowerforyou: I know i should heal... but this sitting around is doing my head in, i do not want to stop the progress i have been making either for the sake of a week!!!! i don't know i am a very rubbish person at being sick and still!!!:sad: Thanks for the reply hunni xxxx

Hey hun, I get difficulties in my left knee when excercising and was diagnosised with hyper-mobility syndrom...translates to extra flexible joints which cause weakness and pain after excersing. Dr advised gentle strecthing and low impact exercises as high impact tends to make it worse. I wear a support, warm up & cool down…

:flowerforyou: i like to spend time getting creative like drawing, scrapbooking, adding personal touches to clothes, making gretting cards or pom poms for the young kids in the family, take pictures of natural beauty in your surrounding area... i would also use the time to write to people and catch up on how they are…

:flowerforyou: hi all literally had all my wisdom teeth out yesterday under a general anaesthetic, the extraction was pretty difficult and instead of 40mins it took 2 hours!!! Anywho I would like to know what excercises i could do, i know swimming & running are out of the question- but would half hour on my excercise bike…

hhhhmmmmmm I would say my best tip would be to find the things that are motiating you to loose wieght and write them down and post them where you will see them everyday, so that if things start getting tough you can look at your list and draw inspiration from it. Mines on the fridge and I have another on the back of the…

I find it annoying whe you have enough cals left for something but not enough for something naugthy lol! I usually go for a small fruit salad or ome 99% fat free crackers (only 18 cals per cracker!) with some tomato, cucumber or low fat chese spread. Hope this helps :flowerforyou:

Welcome on board moonball, this is a really great site everyone is so supportive and when you stick to it the results do come. In regards to yo yo-ing weight wise I found it really useful to keep a paper food journal for 2/3weeks when i am struggling and write down how I was feeling when eating, what i was doing i.e.…

:flowerforyou: welcome this is a great site :smile:

I hear you the next lot of nights will not get me I will be prepared armed with fruit, some veggies and herbal teas!!!:smile: great job on your weight loss. SoccerMomX3: I…

*sighs* This last week has been a nightmare with me going 1000/2000 cals over pretty much everyday...exercise wise i am doing great! I just can't seem to get the food side of things under control, also it hasn't helped being on night shifts-as you literally add another meal on to the daily intake- I am partly to blame as I…

Hey Hun, plan your meals...and i know its difficult but make time for exercise, i was always saying i didn't have time or was too tired when coming back from work-i am a nurse...but getting up 15 minutes earlier doing some stretches, then doing 1/2hour on my exercise bike when waiting for my dinner to cook helps. Other…

i think i will be avioding that horror house forever... in future i shall be thinking BEFORE i eat!!!! :flowerforyou:

A snap decision has left me shocked and stunned...I decided to grab a big mac & milkshake- no cheese or fries- as I had a hospital appointment this morning and didnt manage breakfast... total was : 1280 cals :frown: this has really made me wake up and I am more determined than ever to ensure I will be taking a snack with…

so things were going really well I got down to 146lbs, I was losing 2/3lbs a week but it was making me feel unwell so had a chat with my dr and she suggested to aim for 1/2lb a week so I did but I weighed in yesterday morning and I am 152.2lbs:noway: I am so upset and confused about what to do any suggests? Thanks skiski…

:flowerforyou: pbjsand &Nana27: thanks for the advice I have gone and adjusted the calories, given the cat the rest of the fish and kept the veggie encase I am hugry later-so now have about 800 to use lol!!! I guess I was just a bit surprised to find myself feeling full as normally I am still hungry even after the meal!…

so today has been pretty good foodwise...however my question arose during dinner...that is that during dinner i got halfway through it and i was stuffed, :huh: but did not know what to do- should you stop eating once you are full or eat the food and stick with the calorie quota...any ideas/suggestions welcome! thanks…

Hi madmisskelly, Like mentioned it could be a case of re-training yourself to manage without so much salt, i was the same and found using such things like garlic pepper or lemon pepper or various other herbs and spices to jazz up food and satisfy the urge to pour something on my food! also i found ensuring i was hydrated…

some house work and tonight i will do an hour on the excercise bike! :smile:

Hi Lovedasies, big hugs to begin...I found that usinga journal alongside the food diary has really helped me identify triggers for binging, it also highlighted the times when i was most likely to do so i.e. after work, late evening...often we eat in this way as apossible response to stress, emotions, boredom or…

:flowerforyou: often the body adjusts to our activity levels over time change up your routine...mix your walking with stints of power walking...I found when I was alking daily that my weight got stuck and needed a change to assist it to move! Good luck and don't be discouraged look at how far you have come and hold onto…
