Hmmm that's known as a back handed compliment. Like I said, if you're healthy and happy, the numbers don't matter.

Now bend over for your spanking for being cheeky :excited:

 

*Bends over*.....ooooh look...20p :excited:

 

Every cloud has a silver lining. But perhaps you should check your pockets for holes

 

And since when has spanking been a 'cloud'?

 

I love lemon juice. I sometimes buy a bottel and drink a whole glass of it clean. I'm guessing that's not how you're supposed to drink it, though! What's the best way, and when is the best time?

 

Hi HP - I don't know from experience about lemon juice, but Google came up with this

http://www.fitday.com/fitness-artic...yths-about-lemon-juice-and-weight-loss.html#b

and this

One article says it's marvellous, the other says it's rubbish

 

Good for you on losing 8 kilos. This is no small loss. Don't believe me? Go buy 8 kilos of potatoes and carry them with you all day.

 

Thanks cija. Well, if it helps or not, I'll keep drinking it because I love how it tastes. I'm also not a vinegar fan. Oh, forgot to mention... I lost one kilogram since monday. That's 2.2 pounds, I think.

1 down... A LOT to go.

 

2.2 lbs does indeed = 1 kg and 14 lbs = 1 stone so 1 stone = approximately 6.4kg.

I've lost 9 stones (or 112lbs or about 51 kilograms) in the last 2 weeks

 

Well done HP

I'm managing to stay more active - wearing my pedometer all day. It's set for my height and weight to let me know when I've reached a minimum level of activity, and I try to go well past that, at least an extra thousand steps. I do other forms of exercise that don't register - yoga doesn't, sadly.

 

Got weighed yesterday, and now at 104 kg (16stone and a few pounds), but most of that is due to the oedema, when I get rid of that I will drop to the low 90s, so I just got a lot of peeing to do to lose weight.

 

Somehow I disbelieve this, a starting weight of 23 stones down to 14 in 2 weeks, what did you do, cut your legs off?

 

No, it must have been his head.

 

wow Cija hon that great to hear you lost so much keep up the good work hon

 

As a result of my job being very sedentary and the days being between ten and twelve hours on the road, I put on a lot of weight.

I am now down forty five pounds and still creeping down thanks to a few simple diet changes. Still not exercising yet but that will happen eventually. The simple changes were pretty easy and strangely I don't miss the things I cut out as much as I thought I would.

No pasta...EVER.
No bread. With few exceptions. That includes crackers and chips as well.
No Potatoes. Sweet potatoes are okay in moderation.
No sugary beverages of any kind.
No sugary treats of any kind.
No caffeine but that's because of a heart arrhythmia.
I eat very little fruit but try to incorporate it every day.
I eat as many vegetables as I can reasonably consume without exploding.
I can eat lean meats as long as I have filled up on vegies first.

45 pounds in three months and I haven't even lifted a finger yet except to buy a couple cheap pairs of smaller jeans. Once the weather turns and my doctor signs off on exercise I can start that up and melt it away even faster

 

Umm I wouldn't suggest drinking an entire glass of it. However, if you were to implement lemon juice I'd suggest about a teaspoon in a glass of water with your meal. Just remember to take a drink before you eat.

 

Stones = their nuts

 

i have been trying to lose weight too and in the last 11 months i have lost close to 90 lbs. most of that was though changing my eating habits no fast food at all, no ready to eat meals, and stop drinking sodas and drinking more fresh juiced drinks. and i have gone from 305lbs. to 215lbs.

and just in the last month i have joined a gym and have been working out more then i use to im going 3 times a week from before to maybe once a month.

my goal is to get to 185lbs. im slowly getting there too.

 

Carbs and sugar are evil but also DON'T DRINK CALORIES! No sugary drinks. A little wine is always good anytime.

 

You just aren't thinking outside the box
