Slow but sure weight loss.

Marmite555 profile image

Hi

It’s been a hard two weeks since I gave up drinking even though it was only at weekends. My mother is in a Care Home and as I am an only child with no close relatives it’s been playing on my mind a lot. But after the first weekend it’s got better and I don’t crave it as a crutch at the moment.

Start weight 86.2 K

This week 83.9 K

Loss 2.3 K

So I’m a happy bunny as the weight is going off slowly but going in the right direction.

Hello Marmite555 , Welcome to this amazing forum. I suggest you spend some time clicking about to find your way around. It's easier if you have a lap-top as there are several threads. If you’re using another device I strongly suggest that you use the web page as opposed to the app at least until you know your way around.

Have a good read of the pinned post “Welcome Newbies” and follow every thread.

Here’s the link to the pinned posts, healthunlocked.com/nhsweigh...

You will find today's weigh in there. Just reply to your host H61g.

We also have a Drinkless Club, which I have found to be very useful. I used to drink 2 glasses of wine (I live in Italy) every single day, now,with the help of the Drinkless Club and our host Eleanorba I hardly drink alcohol at all.

Here’s the link for the “Tour” of the forum. If you haven’t already taken it.

healthunlocked.com/?tour=true

I strongly suggest you read and contribute to the Daily Diary and participate in a Weekly Weigh in.

You will find there's loads of tips about better eating, from other members. Sharing your daily menu not only helps you stay committed, it can help other members too.

Good luck I hope to "see " you around. Xx

Hi TheTabbyCat,

On a side line here, a quick question please - why does my badge on the WL forum, sometimes have my weight loss, and other times, has my starting date on HU forums? If I should not be asking this here, on Marmites post, please would you be kind enough to PM me? No rush, I know you're all very busy. Thank you.

Have a lovely weekend :)

It’s should show your weight loss. But sometimes badges fall off, no idea why! It’s a HU glitch, so we leave the start date badges on, sort of hovering behind, so that you’re not naked 😂 ( No badge generally means you haven’t been greeted by Admin )

If you notice it missing again just bring it to our attention. 😊

Hi, I can see your 7lb badge. Just checking: you’re not using the app, are you.? There are problems seeing the badges if you are

Hi BridgeGirl,

Yes, I was being a lazy toad, reading and responding, in bed, at night...nowhere near my laptop.

I didn't know that, thank you for taking the time to let me know.

Have a wonderful weekend x

Hi Marmite555, well done for losing weight; it sounds as though your body is adjusting to your new eating lifestyle, that's great - keep at it :)

I can relate, being an only child, it's never easy.

Take care, and, have a lovely weekend.

That's fantastic! You are doing brilliantly! 🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️🙆‍♀️

That’s brilliant well done 👍
