Well done Cam.

I have been wired up since yesterday with a portable ecg around my neck.  I have to go to the hospital this afternoon to have it taken off.  My heart misses beats and that is the reason for my slow pulse rate.  Although it doesn't affect me now apart from swollen ankles, they think it may be a problem when I get older.  After having the ecg removed today I have not got to go back for two months unless they find anything more serious when they run through the machine, in which case they will ring me. 

My weight is static at the moment so at least I am not gaining.   ;D

Ok i know i joined this ages ago and never got very far with it but now im determind after my holiday in america, well in the last week i have managed to lose 3 lbs which im really pleased with, i tend to eat using the slimming world plan and one of the best ways i find to help myself is to do my shopping on line it stops me picking up extra little bits.  ;D

Hope you are all managing to keep to your targets. Good luck everyone.

there was a piece on dieting in the Daily Telegraph today. A strategy they recommend is eating your meals in the nude, preferably in front of a full length mirror

 Hi,


I used to be pretty obese and started putting on a lot of weight especially on my thighs and bottom in my late thirties. I started exercising as often as possible and also cut down on a lot of high calorie stuff. Unfortunately I hardly managed to lose any weight at all. I then recently read an article by a lady who claimed that she managed to lose nearly half of her weight using a particular weight loss product. I tried it out and it actually worked really well. Within 4 months I managed to shave off 65 pounds completely. The results were pretty amazing and I feel so much healthier and energetic now without having to carry all that extra weight around. You can read more about the lady's article at the link below

Sorry don,t believe in quick weight loss products! (been there got the T-shirt)
I have lost over 3st (42lb) in 6 monthes by changing what I eat and feel better for it1 I tried eating some sweet stuff and floundered a bit in the last few weeks
as I find it very addictive I would have to do without it if I were diabetic so feel this is the way to go

theothermarge, I know what you mean by eating sweet stuff. I suppose it is worse than any other food, as it has lots of fat AND sugar.

I have lost 2 stone now and am trying to maintain my weight.I think it is going to be harder than losing it in the first place. So I have decided that I dont eat butter, cakes, biscuits, chocolate and sweets.

It seems a bit drastic, but I am the sort of person that cant stop when I start.

I also do a lot of visiting, and used to end up eating loads of cake and choccie biscuits every day. Well, it didnt seem polite to refuse ;D

Everyone is used to me being on a diet now, and some people offer me fruit instead. So I am going to keep that up.

I cant put the weight back on now anyway, as I got rid of all my bigger clothes as a deterrent ::)

Caroline that is wonderful, well done to you, you too Marge. What I lost is back on but I need to get things under control again,, it seems I  still always so busy to plan. Eating on the run is my downfall.

We are trying to work through our totally packed large chest freezer so we can sell it before we move, so we have this rule that what the hand touches when we open the lid...we eat. Joh just cxame in w ith  3 litre pot of Rum and Raisin ice cream... but luckily I don't eat it anyway>

Maybe when we get settled I can get a stable relaxed life,with a bit of luck!!

Good luck to you all, keep it up.

3 litres of Rum and Raisin ice cream!!!!

What a terrible thing to put on this thread, you temptress, you ;D

cj :)

[Jeannine]

Caroline,John eats icecream every night, a huge great bowlfull  plus tons of sweet cakes, desserts etc and would you beleive he is abot 10 stone...

There is no justice in the worlld of weight.

Same in the doggie world. Gypsy ( KC Cavalier) has been on diet food and no treats or human food for 4 years and is a little barrel.

Her friend Amber (also a KCC) has biscuits, whatever her owners are having and even a bit of cereal every morning with sugar and off a spoon, is thin.

It would be bad news if this phenomena existed in the bird world :o ;D

Not much fun at dinner tonight..we pulled out a haggis, John doesn't eat it so he found a frozen meat pie so I got to eat the thing..it was absolutely disgusting..I forced down a few bites and gave up.. so I guess you could say it is slimming. I do like haggis but this was terrible.

Tomorrows dinner is a large uncooked turkey drumstick.I use them fro making stock so this one will have to a soup I guess.

Tomorrows dinner is a large uncooked turkey drumstick.

I think you may find it a bit tastier if you cook it ;)

Was the haggis one of those in a plastic case or the geniune sheeps stomach?

The plastic covered ones are quite awful!!!

Wierd comment from a veggie I know, but I USED to eat them.

cj :)

[Jeannine]

Plastic.. and would you believe I had it sent overnight from an Aberdeen butcher along with some other stuff I can't get here.

Turkey leg, was trimmed, diced, and turned into a hot /sweet  red pepper stirfry, not bad considering I don't like turkey.

I get to pick from the freezer tonight!!!

MacSween's haggis are one of the best, Jeannine.http://www.macsween.co.uk/ I think you can probably even get them in Canada!!

Cj they also do vegetarian ones.

[carolinej]

Thanks grawc, looks interesting. I'll pop and buy one next time I am in Swansea (nearest supplier)

According to my scottish sister in law, white pudding is veggie too. HAve you tried that? Not bad, but not like haggis really.

cj :)

[Jeannine]

I would disagree as to white(mealie) pudding being veggie, well the original one anyway. It doesn't have meat but it is certainly full of animal fat...  fat, oatmeal, onion and seasoning and that's it and packed in a skin .Johns eats tons of them!!. There may well be a veggie one now though as Grawc said about the haggis which surprised me.. I will too have  a go at that and the meatie one..thanks Grawc.

Dinner for me tonight was Sushi...
