Hi everyone,
I am joining the 300+ club but I can't wait to get to the 200+ club hehe

Every kg/lb is a struggle and I hope I can encourage you guys to stay on the wagon as you can for me!

I eat and then forget that I ate... then realise later OH NO I ate like a ton of pasta... bah.
So now I am trying herbalife (my last chance diet really) and I have a weigh in tomorrow so we shall see if I have been good or if that pizza on Thursday evening has stuck to my hips.

@Realist: What a year you had last year! I hope 2012 will be more positive for you!

@neonwildflower: I hope your therapist can help you. Hugs from Sweden!

Hello everyone! I'd love to join your group. I'm sad to say that on Jan 1 when I stepped on the scale I was 329 lbs. I about had a stroke when I saw that number. In 2w3d I've lost 11 lbs. I'm sure most of it was fluid and I know I won't continue to lose at that rate, but I sure am gonna try. I want to be healthy and happy. I don't want to battle diabetes like everyone in my Dads family. I've decided to participate in a challenge trying to walk/run 1000 miles in 2012. I'm up to 25.25 miles. I'd say that is a good start. I just need someone to help motivate me to keep going. I have a blog, but I don't know how to share that with you all as it is not a 3FC blog. Can't wait to get to know you all.

Welcome Back to some of you and Welcome to the new people. I am having a very hard time not eating at night. I am just going to have to be a more diligent about not going into the kitchen......

Lynn

Going for a weigh in tonight... but my scales haven't changed so I am not hopeful.. even though I have been good!
:-(

Hopefully I will be able to post with good news!

Q: I am newly on a protein shake diet (breakfast and lunch) with small snacks in between and a normal dinner but smaller portion.
I am drinking 2 litres of water a day but I feel heavy in the tummy, a little constipated... is this normal or? Should I eat some prunes or something? :-)

Its the same for me. Having an early dinner as I am hungry and ready for it, but then really struggling not to eat bad things around 8.30-9pm... doesnt help that my partner and I are used to snacking in front of the tv in the eveing, so it has been really hard to stop that.

What sorts of things do you do to take your mind off of eating?

Lynn are you trying not to eat after a certain hour before you go to bed or do you wake up at night and eat?

Hi Guys My name's Sarah. Stumbled upon this sub fourm support group today. Usually have stuck to weightloss support or 20 somethings . Just posted some pics in the sticky forum above us.

"I am having a very hard time not eating at night. I am just going to have to be a more diligent about not going into the kitchen......"

I have that same problem. I love to snack which is why I usually munch all day instead of eating full meals all the time. Drinking coffee or hot tea with honey usually helps =D

Hiya Sarah! You look AWESOME!!!!

It doesn't seem so daunting 10 days at a time - I also post on the Lifeboat thread too. Glad you are here!

Welcome Bailey'sma!

Hi cheezels, I get that "heavy in the tummy" feeling sometimes, too. For me it's either water weight from TOM or constipation from the iron supplements I have to take. I suggest trying a little extra fiber, maybe some of the powder you can add into food so it doesn't add calories.

Welcome everyone!

ok so went to the weigh in and....

LOST NOTHING.

Zip
NADA.

Being my second week on this diet I sort of expected at least a kg.
Will keep persevering and hopefully I will have good news next week!
(Going to get some prunes today!)

Cheezels,
Usually I meditate before i go to bed but sometimes that don't even help. So I am thinking of blogging when I get up or have a journal by my bed.

Baileys,
I wake up and go to the kitchen sometimes I don't even remember doing it till my husband says something.

Lynn

Hold on to me! It's ok. I've been sick all week and not eating much and still weight is up. Maybe if we growl and show claws at our scales we'll intimidate them!! LOL.

Hugs,
Ratkity

Ok good news, got weighed this week and am down to 144.7 kg
Then this morning it said 143.2
:-)

= 315 pounds if you guys don't use KG's

Yipppppppeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

cheezels - congrats on your "woosh" moment! That's awesome!

Lynn - Do you take any sleep medicine? I ask because "sleep-eating" is a common side effect to some hypnotics like ambien. I have big sleep problems as well, and when I take ambien, I tend to "sleep-email". I don't remember the details of the emails until I read the replies the next day...

See you in the February thread!
