Weekly weigh in - Fridays

[ickihun]

Well done @Liam1955 . May be walking in relaxed circumstances. No adrenalin to offset it.

ah well 79.5 but the March celebrations are behind me so now I have no excuses until December. Celebrated my birthday last night at a local sizzling pub (part of M&B) and it was really good. Since I was ill for 3 weeks after my last meal out I was a bit nervy about going anywhere new even though I am sure it was only the problem with the "water" that caused it.

So happy to report I have a new addition to my list of eateries and now have 2 national chains on my list. I checked the nutritional info on line beforehand. I guess the data sheet would be behind the bar somewhere. The steak is served on a bed of onions and was 75 carbs which must have included the chips. I did sneak one medium sized chip and can honestly declare I like my diet doctor celeriac chips better. When hubby had dessert I had glazed chicken wings (5 carbs) and someone sneaked a couple of those grrrr. The gammontastic apparently would have been lower in carbs but I invented a justification for steak and it was my birthday. Everything served perfectly including my soda water. Our waiter said they do serve burgers without the bun. I cannot remember what it was called. It was not on the menu but I think it is useful to know. We can do an online review so we will include something about that.

Covknit - Many places refer to a burger with no bun as a naked burger.

Happy belated birthday! I must say I smiled when I saw your user name - I live in Coventry and I'm a knitter

 

[ickihun]

So 130.90kg it is. it's been a tough week.

 

[jonbvn]

90.7 kg, which is 0.5 kg down for the week. Finding it harder to lose weight now - have to push the exercise more.

 

[Goonergal]

Super duper!

Thanks @callyandy

 

[majnoon]

I lost 14lbs in a day, had a haircut, and cut my toe nails, I never knew they weighed so much

Well Hi there neighbour. Hope you enjoyed our wonderful Cov sun today. We had a grand day on the lottie but now I ache all over. What's on your pins. I am doing an Urban aran..again. Lol

 

[rainbow79]

Decided to go to monthly weigh ins as at target weight and just looking to maintain now, weighed today 8st 12lbs so have maintained for another month which I am very pleased about well done to all who have lost, maintained or gained, all are all in this together xxx

 

[ickihun]

147.2 carrying a lot of edema which I hope clears up soon. with a high weight for me like this, it stands in contrast to posting a link to the story og Leila and Majnun, the Iranian tale

Me too. It's messed my weight loss up this week. Spent too much time in bed ill.

 

[Prem51]

Slightly down from 141.2 lbs last Friday to 140.0 lbs today.

The sun was great wasn't it! I got my garden all ready for Spring before my hay fever season starts
I'm just finishing up a jumper before I start on the baby knitting, my cousin's daughter is expecting again so I'll be making a cabled baby cocoon for her. Good job the baby isn't due till September - the pattern is a bit complex, I think it will take me a while!

 

[Art Of Flowers]

77.2 Kg, up 0.8 on last week
I am doing Intermittent Fasting over the weekend, so hopefully it will start going in the right direction.

I love baby wool. So soft and snuggly but as you say it does take such a long time and now I have a touch of arthritis I find thicker yarns easier to manage. Shame knitting is not more exercise friendly because I really could do with a more strenuous workout. Have you heard anything about an exercise group in memorial park ? I plan to jon when my leg is fixed as I am lined up to get a scan. Fingers crossed it will happen soon as I first saw gp about it 7 years ago. I am having a cuppa before going back out to finish the back garden hopefully before the rain arrives.

I have dropped down to 85.8 kg from 98 kg when I weighed myself at my GP's yesterday, which is more than I wanted to lose. I am now down to the weight I was a smoker.

I need to work out how put it back on so I get back to 90 kg where I wanted to be in the first place.

 

[JohnEGreen]

You and me both @Tipetoo I seem to be sticking at 10 St 5 Lb over the las couple of weeks, caught sight of myself in the mirror the other day frightened the hell out of me I want to put at least a few pounds back on but am not having much success.

Same here, I get a number one clipper cut haircut and I look really gaunt now as I have lost a lot from around my face.

Getting tempted to give the Metformin the flick, but I am not totally sure this the right way about getting some weight back on.

 

[ickihun]

Stuck on the 130kg mark. Please god help me lose 2 more stone. Then we'll see after that! I don't really want bariatric surgery but if needs must?

 

[David_A_Hughes]

12st 4lbs (172lbs (UK), 78Kg approx) - as usual. This gives me a BMI of pretty well where it should be (22.6) and it rarely changes. Annoyingly, the BMI calculator I used tells me I'm the correct weight for my age and height, reducing my chances of developing type 2 diabetes! Perhaps I shouldn't moan so much about my high BG figures......but I will.

I had a quick look online about this walking group, the most useful site was Cov Council. They have a section on leisure and culture which has some useful links, and the community groups section is useful too. If you do decide to join the group let me know, I can come along with you. I have a bad back so walking is my main form of exercise, it only takes me half an hour to get to the Memorial Park so it's nice and convenient for me.
