don't worry so much girl , always remember that many things are relevant NOT only food intake including your meds cocktail , your metabolism - which can fluctuate from day to day - , passive exercise [ which is when you don't actually realise your doing it - such as going up & down the stairs or standing up from a sitting position 20 times , walking slowly on the spot etc. ... ] which I learnt in a pain management coarse . so always remember that when you get all these in sync it WILL help you more . also just think that if you hadn't had such a good week how much would you have gained ? how much worse would you feel now ? would you have put it down to something else in error ? at least you know that there are other causes for your situation ....... hope this gives you some encouragement because you ill get there girl ....... alan x

its just getting harder and harder, im going to highlight info in my book to show consultant, i do have many visits to the loo so i guess thats good and im allways popping in and out of the kitchen checking on the slow cooker

it was just upsetting as i had a really good week but your right if the week was bad it would have been a bigger gain

consultant is worrying now as sent me a screen shot of my last 7 weeks

+1.5,

+2.5,

-1

+1.5

+3

-1,

+1

i actually cried when i seen it, i was a couple of lb off my 2 stone and one point now im at 11lb total loss

my health is going down hill again as ive noticed air hunger is back, it was improving at one point

i do the awards in group so im looking at everyones loss and gains and it annoys me when they say 'ive had a bad week bla bla and loose 2lb and i try my hardest and gain 1lb

i know its not my fault due to thyroid and cortisol but its still depressing

im back on a weight loss chinese tea when it arrives as i tried it a few years ago and did lose a small amount of weight on it but it tasted awful but i have to try anything (within reason)

ill keep going

there is other help i can be given through slimming world but they use it as a last resort as its hard and time consuming but if i need it ill do it

im writing EVERYTHING down at the moment so fingers crossed this works

i did notice last night hubby had chocolate so i had some, normally i wouldnt bother syning it but i did so maybe im having more than i relise without knowing

just remember a few things ...... while you keep trying you will get there ..... as long as you can recognise where you may have had a blip YOU can rectify it for the future ...... and ALWAYS remember to be a pessimistic optimist [ reason : a pessimist will always look on the gloomy side , but , an optimist will ALWAYS think of the better outcome and disregard the pessimistic attitude ...... i'm seeing double at the moment coz I've crossed my eyes for you ---- gave up with my fingers a long time ago .......... just get some confidence in yourself girl !!!!!......alanx
