Hi Annette
Well done a good loss. That is always a great boost. If it starts to slow and your calorie needs become less have a look at my fitness pal, you can log in online or on the app. Here set your target weight, set the weight that you want to be and then how much you want to be. You will find this under MORE – GOALS this will give you a realistic calorie allowance. Mine is about 1570, I think it is worked out by how much you want to lose. I put 1lb a week in this bit. I know that I can lose more of course as it doesn’t take the 5:2 into account.
I am not sure if it changes automatically as you weight lowers.
Hi Nemum
Yes I had trouble walking up stairs, I haven’t tried them lately. I know that I couldn’t kneel on them yet unwillingly I had to get onto the floor the other day and I managed to get up, it was easier although not easy. There is room for improvement but with nearly 5 stone left to lose you would think I should see some. Am am not quite half way there yet.
If you can ever get a lift to school with your boy then this is the time to try. If not maybe try (and I have heard this so many times that I don’t even want to write it!) to park 1/4 of a mile away at first to see if this improves.
I am pleased to say that last night I couldn’t stop going to the loo, sure enough I weighed this morning and I had lost a pound, part of that retained water gone! In my mind I did cartwheels around the room!!
I still have slightly swollen ankles so I know that eventually I shall lose it. I now try to drink more 5/6 cups of tea a day and I try to drink 3/4 pints of water a day. Sometimes I don’t manage this but I try.
Thank goodness so onto another week tomorrow.
I went to Aldi’s yesterday vine tomatoes are 49p, runner beans 49p, melon 49p and other things. So I got three lots of tomatoes to have with my Heck sausages. Such bargains there.
Enjoy your day all.
