Well done Poll,i lost a stone and half,and dropped a dress size, started cutting down last october,thing is i have started putting it back on now,because i have started eating sweets again, need to get back on track,pretty soon though,oh if only i could get rid of ythis sweet tooth of mine lol…
l eat very healthily - then start on the chocolate - my favourite is from Aldi’s - the one with almonds - and the hazlenut one.
Only trouble is l eat the whole bar. l have tried to keep cleaning my teeth - and drinking water with lemon juice in it - it does seem to help the craving for sweets.
Poll, lts when your trousers fall down that you know your diets worked!!
Well done
l have lost 7lbs - just by not eating bread/cake/biscuits - apart from the weight loss l actually feel better for it.
Fantastic news - hospitals will have wheelchair scales. How to access I’m not sure. You could ask you GP to refer you to a hospital not gp dietitian. Otherwise sometimes when I am driving I see signs for public weigh bridges not sure what they are. Again many many congratulations big pats on back loosing weight is blooming hard with reduced mobility Hugs - Min xx
Some years ago, when on hols with hubby and children, the girls and I went horseriding…supposedly on horses for novice riders. My horse decided to bolt and i had expected the tutor to rescue me. She didnt! She later told me that had she galloped to my aid, the other 2 horses wouldve joined in and the result would be total mayhem!
So when I realised I was on my own, I shouted to my ride, STOP! BLOODY WHOA! He stopped.
Ive never wanted to get on a horse again.....and I wont!
I thought my shadow`s hat looks more like a hard hat on a building site!
Not sure whether you are following the plan yourself or doing it online?
I lost 6 stone after having baby in 1994 with Slimming World.
I have been really immobile for a few months but can now get in a cab to go to class and its my one trip out and I love it. They all help me and are very kind to me.
You would be a wonderful ambassador for SLimming World to prove that you can lose weight even if you are ill and housebound. I have found it much easier than I expected to lose weight on the plan while fairly disabled.
Please call them on 08448978000…I bet they would have a consultant round your house with the scales in no time!!! Go on Poll I DARE YOU…XXX
I wish I had got the willpower to avoid the process of eating…I dont really care whether its healthy stuff or rubbish,I just seem to want to keep eating for the sake of eating.
I might try telling myself if Poll says no I will say no and see if that works.
My current plan of trying to come off Gabapentin to see if that will help is causing pain so thats not the answer.
Anyway well done you and thats despite you going on hols twice isnt it?
Hi Pip, yes I have been on 2 hols since starting my healthy eating regime. Thing is my sis, who is also one of my carers, comes with us and is also doing SW. Plus my daily carer, Bev, is on it too. The three of us jolly each other along, with hints and tips.
Hi Gill, I do go to a SW class. I paid my joining fee, but was unable to get weighed. The counsellor said to put a wooden board on my wheelie, then put the scales on that and then sit.
It didnt work. I weighed 6st, then 2 stone....no good. So she lets me go to class, but not as a member and i still get the class oomph necessary to carry on. Plus I dont have the pressure of a weekly weigh in and that`s a good thing!
I`ll let you in on a little secret…I used to be a counsellor for SW and WW a long time ago!!!
Well done you for losing all that weight and for keeping going to class.
