last nights weigh in

[mandy72]

1/2 lb gain better than expected

had a fairly good week until saturday when i went to eat my jacket potato, cut into it and found something really gross and big inside it (im fighting it at the moment and have photos)

anyhow i ate my egg and bacon pie and was still hungry and didnt have anything else in as my dinner was planned

daughter gave me a tonne of sweets and said 'you can have these' knowing normally i wouldnt eat them because of slimming world

i got so hungry i ate them, son then went to shops and got pizza and garlic bread and i ate that too

we shop daily so there wasnt much food wise in the house

but im still 3 stone 1 1/2 lb lighter

Hey well done👍🌹, what was in your jacket potato👀?

[mandy72 in reply to Rmichelle]

thanks

im not too sure but it was big and gross looking and felt weird

[Rmichelle in reply to mandy72]

Yak.😲

[mandy72 in reply to Rmichelle]

ive been told im over reacting but i dont know what it is and would like to know

worst thing is i offered it to my daughter the night before and we were watching tv without lights so she could have easily eaten it

[Rmichelle in reply to mandy72]

Did you take piccies? What does it look like?

[mandy72 in reply to Rmichelle]

i have pics i will send them to you in a message so not to upset or make anyone feel ill

[Naomi8 in reply to mandy72]

Thank you Mandy for NOT posting piccis!Just reading of the incident is making me squeamish-yuk!I don't blame you for eating the sweets-trauma therapy

[mandy72 in reply to Rmichelle]

no option to send pics

[Rmichelle in reply to mandy72]

Thats ok mandy, but sounds disgusting, i would definitley pursue it further, my 12 year daughter found a used plaster in her asda curry, yak, thankgod she did not have any of it, she has a habit of checking her food before she eats anything anyway, i played merryhell with asda, they refunded me and had a gift voucher for £30. and a letter of apology.xx

Good for you! I try to follow SW but this time its not working at all

[Tldg45 in reply to LexxiiB]

I gave up on sw as I was sticking to it and hardly using my syns and never lost anything. I've since joined weight watchers and I've lost 17.5 pounds. I find it hard watching other slim people getting on with life eating what they like, yet I have to restrict my intake to even maintain weight. Good luck

[LexxiiB in reply to Tldg45]

Well done that's an amazing achievement!!! Keep up the good work!

[mandy72 in reply to Tldg45]

theres so many diets and for us with naff thyroids its finding one that works

well done on the weight loss thats an amazing result

i hate seeing others sitting down enjoying cake and chocolate and never gain a lb, i look at it and thats a few lb on

[mandy72 in reply to LexxiiB]

thats a shame

the latest talk is making sure you drink 2 liters of water a day

ive found really cutting down on carbs helps too

[Tldg45 in reply to mandy72]

I find that reducing carbs helps too. I'm going to Zumba twice a week and a dance class once a week. I'm exhausted after each class but I force myself to move more and finding exercise lifts my mood. I'm very self conscious in class but doing nothing isn't going to help me lose weight 😊

[mandy72 in reply to Tldg45]

well done on the classes

if im completely honest i do nothing, i will prep and cook my evening meal and thats about it

i have a fitbit to keep track of my heart rate (how sad is that?) but im over the moon when i reach 2000 steps a day, slimming world nights i sometimes hit 3000 or close to it

ive seen on the fitbit community people getting 20,000 or more steps a day

i have no friends on mine because im ashamed of how little i do

its not down to laziness because i would love to go out for a walk or visit my daughter or go for a wander around town but i cant i just have no energy and get out of breath too easily

[Tldg45 in reply to mandy72]

I totally get where you're coming from. I have to force myself to go to classes and as I take a friend I have to go as I give her a lift. I was only saying the other day that, is it my thyroid that I have no energy or am I just lazy. I feel drained most of the time and everything I do is a forced effort. People without thyroid problems don't understand how tired you feel. 😊

[mandy72 in reply to Tldg45]

we are not lazy, we are sick and we are being kept sick by our drs and endos who know nothing about thyroids

i do go out daily and thats shopping as we shop daily as weekly we found we was throwing too much away but i need a shopping trolley or else id never make it round the shop, i also beg hubby to park as close as he can so i dont have far to walk

the tirdness is like a drugged up feeling.........i hate it

[alangardner in reply to mandy72]

firstly ..think about it -- by preping and cooking the meal that in itself is far better than processed crap [ you know whats in it ] , secondly dont ever be ashamed of how ''little '' you think you do --- what one person can do will never be what another can do , just keep within your limits - otherwise you can do more damage than you can handle - be proud of whatsoever you achieve personally ........you have persevered for so long now , and it has been working in its own time and will continue if you give it the effort girl .... you will get there eventually YOU KNOW IT !!!!!!

[mandy72 in reply to alangardner]

you are always spot on Alan, ive never looked at prepping a meal to be a big thing but you are right i know whats in it

my consultant does a walking/running/crawling meet up weekly i may give it a go in the summer......i can start off crawling lol

ive been going 2 year 2 months now started well then put it all back on so rejoined and been doing ok so far

i have a goal now my daughter got me a t shirt from america that im dying to get into but its slightly tight so i have to work for it

[alangardner in reply to mandy72]

we all start by crawling -- but not always admit it -- keep your goals , small ones as you go along [ you have more chance of getting them ] and then gain another and another -- never forget that the eventual goal will and can be achieved if you stick with it without giving up as soon as something goes pear-shaped you can and will get there with the right attitude and perseverence girl
