Hi, I’m dumpy/ dumpling/ fat

For the last 6 weeks my kids and I ( and hubby who upped the mortgage to do this)
Travelled to Japan for a night, then Paris where we met hubby who had been at a language school in France for the last 3 mths, then to the south of France for a week, then a cruise around the med, then back to Toulouse for a week, then England ( Kent where the floods were ) for 2 weeks, then Salt Lake City to see snow, then Disneyland, then Fiji for 3 nights then home last night.

We left end nov and there were Christmas chocs in the shop, now there are valentine chocs!!

It’s hard to be back…I have to say.
But every good thing must end, and now it is back on the truck to get this 6 kilos I put on, off, and then some.

I’m 5 FT 7/8 ( I think I grew!) 88.1 kilo. I was 82 when I left. I had lost 7 kilos over many months and in 6 weeks, HELLO all back! But I know this way of life will help me lose them ( I was only doing it for 5 weeks before leaving and I had good results, before that I hadn’t eaten sugar for 3 mths and had only lost 2 kilos) so I am excited to see where my weight will end up after many months eating this way

According to bmi I have about 20 kilos to lose, I am a size 16 and would like to wear a 12 jeans.
So I’m not as large as some, but I know that if I keep doing what I have always done, I will be.
( which is graze all day)

So on non fast days, 3 meals, no snacks, eat when hungry , stop when satisfied not bloated.
Have treats but after a meal…not walking along the street.
Have them as part of the meal, and just have one. Not the whole cake.
And if it ain’t a meal time, then don’t put it in my mouth .

I noticed the French don’t walk and eat. ( although they smoke) they sit down to eat.
They are average size 12. Didn’t see many people size 16 and above in Montpellier. Even new mothers were a size 10.. Grrrr

Anyway, just wanted a place to keep track of my weight loss.
Please join me in the journey and share any tips you might have.

I was going to wait till I ‘ had salad in the house’ as there is very little food, we have to go shopping today, but I do still have frozen veg, and there is vermicelli and frozen cooked chook I left for when I got back, so I’m starting today with a large stir fry for lunch
And will use some of the lentil recipes in the book, as I have dried / canned stuff available too for dinner.

No excuses!!!!
My body deserves to shed this duvet ASAP

Bring it on.

6 kilos be gone…and another 10… Get lost too.:)

Thanks, I hear ya!! I thought, when am I ever going to have another 10 choc au pains in one go?? Never…so eat up girl.

And I did.

We had a great time, and the weather bar England was very kind to us. So can’t complain…just whinging it is over, but hey, you can’t take debt with ya, so make some, I say
😉

Enjoy your time away.

Fastnana i have the diet book as a kindle
Im not one to use their recipes as I find them high in cals for the amount of food .i like a lot of food on fast days so use the foods with the least amount of cals
When im ontheipad and not this blackberry will pop my fast daymenu up
The key board is rubbish
I want bulk food for my 500 cals

Its morning here we are 20 hrs a head of LA
I miss america!

I miss having busy days!!

I miss seeingnew things!!!

Lizy the water at least is cool here, fiji has water of 32 deg, its like a bath, dumb!!! How you suppose to cool down?

Weigh day…

87.3. Down 800 grams and an inch and a half off my waist

I was very bloated on returning home…too much fried food, my stomach looked 7 mths pregnant,
I think having 31/2 days of fasting ( thurs/Saturday last week Monday / wed this week…I failed about Wednesday night! Had some nice cream) with a lot of veg and salad ( menu above) has cleaned out my colon nicely.
Just feel slimmer , even after a week, although sitting there are still rolls

I would like to be in the 70’s somewhere…have not been there since before 2007

Will see where my body wants to be….

It’s a big old wagon…don’t you mean 😉

It would have been an arrestable offence if I hadn’t partaken.
It’s the law…I had too!

Now I’m home it’s boriiinnnnng and eating seems to be something to do. Must change that mind set.
I wonder why I hate ‘ feeling hunger’

I need to fill that feeling ( hunger) as soon as I feel it..weird.
Maybe I need to see why?

Maybe I was starved as a kid!?
And grazing all day is my way of not ‘ starving’

Helpful.

Absolutely! it has been a little while you are right haha
And yes will keep you posted.

Tell me a little about you.

Its summer here now, so salads etc are cheaper and easier to find.
Even though Christmas is coming.. I feel calm, like ” all is well!!”

What a great journey you’ve been on sounds like it really worked for you I’m so glad
it’s nice to hear success stories

last time I don’t think I did it for long enough I can’t remember now why I stopped because I did lose a little bit of weight maybe just life and I didn’t have a conviction that it would work full-time all the time but I think for me having 2 days a week where you totally detox by only really eating vegetables drinking a lot of water and herbal teas ( I don’t drink tea or coffee) can’t be a bad thing

I have also found Jon Gabriel to be excellent when it comes to cleaning out the inner you and also EFT or Tapping is another way to talk to your subconscious and to change it so if you haven’t heard of those things or person have a look and see what you think

yes I am in New Zealand I am way at the top.. 2 hours North of Auckland near the Bay of Islands we moved up here from Christchurch but for many years I lived in Sydney and my high school years were in the UK
We immigrated there when I was 12 from Sydney as you do …not!!

But I was born in Christchurch but have more of an Aussie accent

At least that’s what I get asked in every shop I go into an open my mouth!!

Congratulations on achieving the weight that you’re happy with I don’t even understand that concept
all my life I’ve been trying to lose weight and every year two kilos goes on I remember looking back at something I had written when I was 76 kilo and I wanted to be 65 kilo and now I’m 93 kilo and just would like to be in the eighties haha I wish I had enjoyed being 76 kilos more!

I’m not huge … size 16 2. 18 maybe but I would like to be more of a 12 especially as this past year I celebrated the big 5. 0 and ain’t getting any younger all the best though on your journey and let’s keep in touch
