Just realised hadn't posted. Lost pound and quarter no idea how I managed that . But since the increase in my Clonazepam my arms are back under my control and my speech is back. Noticed only couple of days ago my walking is straighter unless I am tired. So must be moving faster. And can do all the exercises how they should be done .
Shirley lovely to have you back that's the great thing about this thread it's always here and everyone is welcomed . Losing weight isn't for sissies it's hard work . And you like the rest of us are doing it the hard way no short cuts for us and prepared to take months or years to achieve what we want .
CocoPops glad you have found something to control your IBS. Hopefully by gradually introducing foods back you can enjoy a more varied diet. But you are doing it the sensible way bit at a time .
I have found since turning veggie I am limited more eating out . Some places have veggie options but they contain chilli including curries . But I would never eat a curry out . What annoys me they have meat lasagne but no veggie lasagne. And yet veg are cheaper than meat. I can't eat chips or anything crunchy as it gives me blood blisters in my mouth.
I meet 2 from GN each month and have lunch we try different restaurant's. Going to a Greek restaurant last Friday in the month. I went there with the Wombles plenty of choice for everyone . Food was delicious and service excellent. Always the same request can you cut up my food in the kitchen . Spoon and fork to eat with and plenty of napkins. And drink in a cup or mug no glass. 😁.
Going veggie isn't an ethical choice but a choking issue . Haven't eaten meat for 6 years, poultry and fish a year . But I do like Quorn sausages,mince and chicken pieces.
Sun don't feel despondent about the half a pound . You know you can get it off. I can stick rigidly to my cal allowance and put on and other times over eat and lose. They is no rythme or reason why this happens. Our bodies do what they want 😂. I am happy if I only lose quarter of a pound . But even weighing yourself the same time everyday your weight changes.
Sun can't remember how you are losing weight? But I have to weight and count cals only way I can do it. If you don't count cals could you just try it for one day eating what you would do normally . I know it can take longer and writing it down and calculating the cals can seem boring but for me it's second nature been doing it since 2017. The book NanKate recommended is brilliant as it shows how much fat , protein,carbs and fibre in an item . And it can be shocking how many cals in ready made items even the smallest piece .
Allsorts you keep going and don't give up . It's easy to give up but pears don't .
MayBee hope you go to the gym and enjoy it . For me my idea of hell. My daughter goes to a gym twice a week one day using equipment and other combat training. She also does some weekends with members of classes she went to before both boys started school.
My 7 exercises plus my pedalling at home daily and my 2 exercise classes keep me going . Did I say I had joined a contemporary choir. So now pedalling I sing the songs we are learning . Last night we included 4 part harmony. To remember how my bit went as an Alto I found I was moving my head from side to side to kept in tune how we sang our bit .
Our choir leader gave us a song we will be learning in June 😱 never heard of it we had a go at the first verse it's very weird . But apparently popular on Britain's got talent but as I don't watch that sort of TV never heard it before.
Well hope I haven't missed anyone out or got my facts wrong 🤦🤦. Getting up now as I want to vote before breakfast ,need to make my next 6 dinners and cleaner coming just after 11.
Take care all and keep going . 🤸
