Sorry I missed chat last night, would you believe I did pop in at 7.30 to check if anyone was early and then promtply forgot allabout it. Next time I'll put a post it on the screen. So did anyone come in to chat?

I'm not gyming today, woke up feeling dreadful, but I'm hoping i'll feel better tomorrow.

Was asked again today, by another lady, if I was losing weight

I had to answer honestly this time, because when I got up my shorts started to fall down

I got asked if I was preggers again tonite, sigh, I thought I was past that.

Nobody has asked me that Kathy, but I often look at myself and think I must look it.

I could imagine I'd be hurt if someone asked me if I was pregnant and I'd have to say no.

I remember once, when I had lost weight, I bought what I thought was a lovely pink summer dress. I wore it to church on Christmas day with then husbands family. The question was not if but when was the baby due!!!

Then, I wore it to a wedding and everyone was asking me when I was due.

I never wore the dress again, and I regained the weight!

I'm at work at the moment, trying to look busy, nothing much happening today!!!

Hi guys.Long time no chat. Well I was the only one that went on the chat. ..7.00pm on the dot I signed on...waited until 7.30pm..no one appeared...You must have all be exercising or something. Hopefully this Tuesday we might all get öur acts"together.
Well I have finally focused again on the diet. So far this week from Monday I have already lost 1.5kg...I am impressed. I do derserve it though as I have been super good with the food and the exercise. I hope this trend will continue. And yes I have been asked the same question about the "pregnant thing"and I threw that dress away.
Gotta go to bed now...too tired..big day...tommorrow I have to do a lot of cooking for my party on Sunday(yes the big 40) so I will not "lick the spoon"or even taste anything.
Have a good night everyone..leeny

Leeny, if you're still about, I am sitting in chat now if you want to pop in and say hi?

I took myself off to the dr today, cause I've been feeling cr@ppy and there is a new surgery open that bulk bills. So after 2 hours waiting I got to see a lovely man of a dr, and he took a stack of blood, and has put me on a no carb diet. I can have things like carrot, tomatoes, and a little bit of corn, but the rest of carbs I have to steer clear of for a while. He said I will lose at least 1kg a week, if not more with the amount of exercise I do. I will be going back every 4 weeks for more blood tests.

Hi everyone
Sorry to hear everyone is feeling crappy. Remember Drs don't know all the answers and that I think that we know deep down how to control our weight...it is up to us.Of course the support from her husband and family will help and of course this little group we have made. I have been to so many obesity clinics, dieticians, Drs, weight loss centres(I actually worked in one for a while)...is there a majic answer...I think not..nor the magic pill ( I have tried them too). It just comes down to willpower doesn't it...eating the right food and exercise will obviously help too. I know we can all do it...we have each other...we will be thin. I have been fat, thin, fat, thin, fat...my whole life...you have to get your head in the right place to be successful.
I sincerely hope we all will be...keep on going..

PS..Sorry LIndor about the chat last night...I logged off straight after I posted last night...I just can't strike it right with the chat...thanks for the offer anyhows..hopefully Tuesday we will all be able to chat.

Fair enough Leeny. I went to the drs cause I was getting out of control emotionally, and as because I'm not actually "losing" any weight. The tape measure is changing, but not the scales.

It turned out that one of his areas is diabetes which I have, and he has helped heaps of patients with this diet, and its not costing me a red cent. He will keep track of how I'm going with regular blood tests too. At the moment, its what I need, I was really starting to spiral out of control. The diet I'm on now will look after my sick liver, and give my pancreas a break from producing all that insulin that it puts out.

I know I could probably do it without monthly dr visits, but I really need to have someone checking that its not doing other harm to my body while I'm losing weight.

I managed quite well today, I have to ask next time if I'm allowed tomatoes, I have been eating them. We went out to dinner tonite with the whole family, to a place with a buffet, and I found I could eat quite nicely without all the carbs. there was temptation, but I resisted.

I've taken on the thinking that at the moment carbs are bad for me like smoking or drugs, doing me more harm then good.

Morning all

MaRrIeD_aN_aNgEl, glad you are feeling positive and happy, I have found mood has really helped to get me where I am today with my weight loss. Good luck with it all and STAY POSITIVE!

I jumped on the scales todday and I am down yet another one kg. It's slowed down a tad, but I am still happy with my progress.

Hope all else are doing ok too?

Have a happy Monday people!!! And I'll see you in chat tomorrow??

You won't see me in chat tomorrow, got an early shift so can't make it.

I've had a week off the old diet plan this week, it's been lovely. I have a week off every eight weeks. I'll find out on Friday whether I have successfully maintained.

I went to yoga for the first time on Saturday, which is going to be a regular thing, it was fantastic, and swimming on Sunday. Back to the gym tonight!

Hi everyone,
I am pleased for you Lindor with your another kilo down and Maried an angel you are in the right frame of mood to be successful...good for you. Hey Kathy you sound like you are in the right place as well...It is important to go to Dr if you have diabetes. What are your levels? Have they improved since losing some weight and eating healthier? I bet they have?
I have had a bad few days...food wise that is...I had my 40th Birthday party on Sunday. Beforehand, lots of cooking and yes lots of tasting...the day bad...way too much alcohol...I paid for it yesterday though...hangover all day...had to travel to Brisbane too with a sore head...not happy yesterday...serves me right though..self inflicted. Today is a new day so I am on the straight and narrow again and will be walking with the neighbours tonight.
I am fine for the chat tonight so hopefully will catch some of you then
Leeann
