Anyone else out there with 5 plus stones to lose? Who fancies doing a weekly weigh in with me? ******NEW THREAD*****..old one got too big..unlike us 8-)

[PinkChick]

woohoo i get to strat new thread, old one was maxed out!

i wanted to say that i would like to lose 6lb by next time i get weighed and then i will finally lose the far away dream of getting over 2 stone!

Come and join us on the juicing thread.

ive just had wheetabix and just done a keep fit dvd, well only ten mins again - poh gawd im getting back into my old ways - m e thinsk im going to have to just staple my mouth up til xmas!

2 stone by Xmas??!! Xmas is 9 weeks away so you'd have to lose about 4lb a week for the entire time! Dont think that's possible unless you crash diet which is obviously not recommended! (sorry poshtottie!).

Well done on the exercise tho - that's good going to even start!

I'm stuck, Mum is getting me a treadmill for christmas so at least will be able to exercise more but other than that I am flummoxed.

what about lipobind any good - got to get into dress for hubbies 40th - oh gawd and his parents ahve gone away fro a cruise - yes another one so want to look glam on the day - ho hum!

hi Five - are you stuck at losign weight, do you mean?

jaz - Have no idea about Lipobind. I think 2 stone is a bit unrealistic, especially as you're not THAT overweight! I am hoping to lose a little bit by the time my mum gets here in December (she lives in Spain and is coming over for a visit for DD's birthday on 5th December, woohoo!) but there's no way i'm going to be unrealistic about how much i'd like to lose because that's just setting me up to fail! 7lbs by then would be good for me and anything over then will be a bonus!

yes, need to get back in control.

I've lost 3lb this week. Very very happy fairy here!!!

Hi All..nice to see you again Jaz.RG..NO LOL just 15mg, not doubled LOL, 5mg more....theyve really kicked in today!..had two slices of toast for brekky and could only eat one!!..just bought some sugar free sweets to munch on as TOTM and needing sweet stuff, but am wondering if theyre not all that good and will be full of fat instead of sugar???
Anyway, not ahd lunch yet, not intentional, just got new LO on and its chaotic with pick ups and drop offs plus been on a bear hunt this morn ..will have a think about tea?..and have just bought bananas, honey dew melon and grapes to munch on..working till 8pm again so need the energy!LOL...hope you all have a good day!..take care..ooh and how did docs go Ria?.x

RGPargy, the juice diet is very healthy and not crash dieting. You can also juice during the day and have a healthy meal in the mealtime if you want.

I'm juicing and didn't need to lose weight. I was fed up of having no energy.

Hi jaz & five.

well done Mel!

Well, you guys were right, I neededn't have worried. The GP was really nice and helpful, and has put me on Orlistat. Am off to google it now... (DH collecting from supermarket pharmacy - too to go to village chemist)

well michelle mcmannus has said that she wants to be a size ten by xmas - ive just had a crunchie and oh my gawd it was girgeius - and im craving lucozade and a wispa bar - il see how i get on tonight as its in the evenings when things start to go wrong shall we say and im up for eating the whole contents fo the fridge!!

Hi Ria, glad docs went well..what did google say??

well im wondering if these sugar free sweets might..erm...possibly.. give you a lot..of erm..wind???LOL

Basically if I eat fat I will poo fat TMI. The GP said she prefers to give these as they make people change their diet. Back in a month though and there's always the others if these don't work. All the side effects seem to be bowel related though, rather than anxiety/mood related (good thing as I have enough of that anyway!) Fingers crossed! (She nearly gave me viagra - pressed the wrong button LOL)

What size is Michelle McManus now? Is she the one that did Dr Gillian?

That sounds like the nights I have jaz

And I don't have to get weighed at the surgery, so long as I log my weight on my own scales (use the same scal,es all the time)!

Five - stick with it, you'll get there

Mel - Congrats on the loss! Well done!

Posh - Ah right, ok. I've not read up on it so was just assuming it was crashing. Sorry!

Pink - Sugar free sweets aren't full of fat (!!) but are full of sweeteners which will either bloat you out, make you fart, give you the shits or all three. I cant eat sugar free stuff as it gives me terrible problems and i get all THREE symptoms!!

Ria - So glad it went well at the docs. I knew she would be ok! I think i was prescribed Orlistat years ago but i cant really remember what it was like to be on them. If i get stuck again i will mention them again to my doc and see if he will let me have them again. I think i gave up taking them in the end but i dont know if i kept forgetting or if my then boyf was telling me not to take them I dont remember them being anything like Pink's tabs tho!

Jaz - Crunchies are loooovely!!! Dont give in to too much temptation tho or you wont lose that 2 stone until valentine's day! Michelle McManus said she wants to be a size 10 by xmas - well dont we all!! If i had access to a trainer for 4 hours a day every day at the gym and someone to constantly monitor me, i'd be a size bloody 8 by Xmas!!

what I need is personal trainer, dietician, chef (NOT DH) and someone to eat my food for me. Then I'd be a size 10 all the time

I get the impression that they aren't going to be as good as Pinks tabs, but fingers crossed.

LOL Ria!, dont we all ..yeah i have heard of orlistat..aherm..make sure you know were nearest loo's are everytime you have a meal though, you dont want to get caught short..i said from the start i DIDNT want ones that made me poop as im out and about all day and chances are would be naughty with my food and need to get there speedy time! LOL

HOnestly though girls, i think the tabs ARE fab, but obv theyre not for everyone like RG proved, she had bad side effects with the same tabs i had but i was fine!?..my mum has had reductil as have another handful of people i know but theyve not lost anything!?..you really do have to change what/how much youe at as well and my mum would be the first to tell you she 'didnt' listen to her stomach as shes of the 'lick you plate clean' brigade!..no woner im fat!, getting brought up like that LOL

Well RG, i knew i could reply on you to cut to the chase for me LOL..the reason i said about fat was i used to give dd malt loaf when she was younger as it said something like 0% fat..however it was filled with sugar d'oh..so i guessed that the 2 dont automatically cancel each other out!..i am nnow however banished upstairs turning the air green and stomache gurgling like mad!...wont do that again then!
Just that as its TOTM i 'needed' something sweet and didnt want to spoil myself!

Anyhoo today, i had one slice of toast with a smidge of brussels pate on (naughty), lunch was grapes that id chopped earlier in day as i didnt have time to make anything, glad id washed and chopped them otherwise it may have been the crisp box instead!..then tonight i dry fried some chicken breast with broccoli, carrot and sweetcorn(yeah get me and my veggys!!) and served with pasta in sauce made up with no milk or butter just boiling water..it was gorge and am stuffed!

so am off to wash hair, had a crappy day at work/with dd's school so feeling a bit, so will treat myself to a highlights drink in a bit (whoa girl, dont go wild!!) LOL

HAve a good, crunchie - less evening girls!.xxx

I am a bit worried about the side effects TBH, and just have a vision of an old banger leaking oil from it's undercarriage.

jaz have you tried these exercises? They hurt a bit but are really effective and it says somewhere in my book that one of the people looked liked they'd lost twice the weight they had. When I get back to having time to myself I will be doing them again. And 9 weeks til xmas - an hour a week and an extra hour and thats the 10 years younger in 10 hours sorted

Ria - I need one of those personal trainers/chefs/dieticians too. I'll be a size 10 with you!!

Wow, Callenetics!! Haven't seen that in about 10 years! Didn't realise its still going lol. Isn't that what they now call Pilates?

As for the side effects, i dont think they're that bad after a while as you consciously stop eating as much fat. I think it'd only be just like an old banger leaking oil if you were to constantly eat crappy food, perhaps.

Pink - Your dinner sounds nice! Glad i sorted out the fat and sugar thing for you I can eat no more than 2 or 3 sugar free sweets before i start getting the gutsy feeling and end up on the loo for most of the night! Be careful!! lol!

OH MY GAWD Riallyeeriaee gosh thats along name - I bought that in the 80's its the same box aswell oh my gawd and it was a massice craze over the uk u could drop a dres size in an hour if i rem correctly - i did it everyday as a teenager and it did work, but oh so boring - back then i had loads going on, its small repetitive movements - im going to do my ministry of sound one, its good as its just dancing really.

Has anyone seen the sonia from eastenders one, although shes gone and put the fat back on bless her!

my true addiction these days is white toast with butter and lightly spread marmite - im in heaven then!

oh and michelle is a size 14 now and shes vut down on the drink loads! she does look good.

sharon osbourne has said that in the entertainment industry they are more likely to accept heroin addicts than fat peeps - which i do agree with her!! thast my heat topic for tday x

funny, I'd rather be a fat person...

true, it is boring. I hope they've updated the recording. I have the VHS but use the book, there is a 10 mins a day one, not as effective but easier

lol Ria, i think i would rather be fat too!!

So does callenetics actually work? I dont think i did it more than about twice with my friend years and years ago!
