Try limiting your snacks to cold meat, cheese, or a small quantity of nuts, and vegetables (raw, cut into strips, dipped into good quality full-fat mayonnaise). Cold sausage is fine, but make sure they are the lowest-carb you can find - eg 1 or 2 grams carb per sausage. Make up a mixed bowl and just dip into it.
You could even have a small meal - an omelette, or a steak, if you are genuinely hungry rather than satisfying a habit. It's quite okay to have 5 small meals a day, instead of 3 big ones. It just makes timing your BG tests more difficult.
The main thing is to keep your carb intake down. If your carb intake is moderate - say, 100g to 150g daily - limit the fat in your snacks a bit. Lean meat, chicken and vegetables are then your choice for snacks - go easy on the cheese, and not too much mayo
. If you must have a 'crunch', get some oatcakes or ryvita (checking carefully to find the lowest-carb variety) and limit yourself to TWO BISCUITS ONLY (sorry - that was a shout!
), with butter, per evening.Viv 8)
Snacks are the hardest aren't they but some good advise there. I do better on days when I can face breakfast but hope that my little slip will end now. Because of this plus being on the steroids have put on 3 lb this week so that has made me realise how important it is to stay on track. As I feel a bit better in myself re wheezy chest hope I will be better at the food next week
I am now back to 11st 9 lb

Weight loss is now very slow but 3lbs in the last month so now 13st 6lbs and a BMI of 24.1. However the redistribution of bits of me continues a pace. Now in 32" jeans so a 10" drop in 6 months

Don't go too low - you soon won't be heavy enough to hold those dogs :shock:
That was always my excuse . . . :wink:
I daredn't go near the scales at the moment - I should be losing, having gone alcohol-free, but I don't think I am

Well my next target is sub 13st 4lbs. I can remember weighing myself around 15 years ago at that weight and thinking I'd put some weight on! The onwards to 12st 11lbs which would be a 4 stone weight loss since diagnosis but I suspect that is going to take quite a while.

Lost 1lb this week without trying too hard (life still hard, problems causing comfort eating and drink to forget) I'm 13 and half stone but want to lose a stone by 12th September for personal reasons-13th is anniversary of an accident that could of killed me so I have a week long celebration of living then & need to start that from a low weight!
At last! - another 2lbs off! I am now under 17 stone for the first time since about 2006, though it is becoming a painfully slow process. That's the first new loss since Christmas.
At least it's a little encouragement to keep me motivated.

Diet drinks - the artificial sweeteners taste vile.
Having to forswear foods I have loved all my life.
Trying to find low carb meals when eating out.
Down from 12st 10lbs to 12st 8lbs over the last week, with a brief unexpected foray to 12st 7lbs one morning.
I'm feeling my waistline and wondering if I'm a little plump.
So my target is 12 st 2lbs in the next 6 months.
If I still feel a little plump then I'll have to give myself a stern talking to.
That way lies anorexia.
As a skinny(ish) teenager I consistently weighed 11 st 7lbs so that tells me I sould be above that now I am of a more mature build.

No matter how little or how much I eat or how much I excersise or how little I excersise my weight does not budge I'm 11 stone on the dot every morning and every night everyday of every week of every month !

What are you trying to do? Depress us all? (I'm joking!).
I haven't been 11 stone since I was about 16 - 11st 7lbs is about right for me, but I doubt I'll get there, at my age.
