week 13 weigh in

[mandy72]

2 lbs off

happy with the loss but expected more as i did 5 out of 7 days of scan bran challenge

its supposed to be 7 days but i just couldnt eat anymore lol

ferrero rocher were yummy but 1 syn each

coffee cake was yuk but managable

chocolate cake yuk but managable

onion bhajis disgusting and i put too much chilli (was mild chilli so i added extra then it was way too hot so landed up in the bin)

cheese and marmite bread was managable when hot but disgusting when it cooled

after that i just couldnt do any more

i have to admit though i wasnt 100% on plan so the small loss could have been my fault

i will try his again on week 4 but will only stick to cakes as i can cover them in yogurt

Mandy72, I've read that a loss of between 2 and 3 lbs per week is good. First it is a loss and also slow and steady is better than a large drop per week which comes back when you eat 1/4 lb more the following week. Well done.

thanks

total loss so far is 1 stone 2 lb

5 lb ff my 1 1/2 stone so fingers crossed i should get that before my week 4 gain

Well done to you. I desperately want to lose weight. It is an uphill struggle with thyroid issues.

Mandy72,

You're doing amazingly well.  You should be very proud of yourself!

well done you .... YOU will get there -- forget about your personal goals [ because when you hit a barrier or go backwards you will hit a downward spiral ] -- just remember that while your still losing it your not adding on later AND slowly but SURELY you WILL GET WHERE YOU WANT TO BE for yourself [ and nobody else ] keep going girl with pride ...... alan xxx

thank you

i have found i am loosing the same as others some weeks more than the people with fully functional thyroids so i must be doing something right

the support in group is great no one ever judges for a gain

if i have a bad week my son is there for me not as a son but as my consultant and hes a fab consultant, he keeps telling me how proud he is, hubby said he can notice the loss from my belly i dont believe him, when i can see my feet it will be real lol

ive just updated my progress chart and im 1 stone away from my club 10 which is 10% of my body weight loss
