Weight loss has slowed this past fortnight to 2.8lbs. I had a difficult week on my own, fending for myself, so the convenience foods came out. I am physically incapable of prepping a meal myself.
I have also been struggling with the feelings of hunger driven by Depression, aggravated by the increased pain. As per bizi, I must increase my water and fluid intake. The drop off in the loss rate makes me more resolved for the coming fortnight - that Target is tantalisingly close. Dave.

Hi Dave
Had been wondering how you were doing towards reaching your goal. A week on your own is tough for keeping routine and it's not surprising your weight loss slowed. I'm somewhat amazed you didn't hit a plateau before this but you've maintained a steady reduction - that's a success. Don't sweat the speed bump - you'll be back on track soon. The 'depression - hunger - comfort eating' cycle is a difficult beast to tame - try remembering back to what it was like before you started (a good while ago now) and that may reduce temptation - you don't want to go back there. Hope your family's back soon and you don't have to fend for yourself any more. Meanwhile here's something to keep you distracted - it's a radio station in NZ that plays the music our generation grew up with - bookmark it - lay back - listen and cruise. http://www.thesound.co.nz/Listen/Med....aspx#popup_np (They're playing Crosby, Stills & Nash - 'Southern Cross' as I write this - personally I believe this should be NZ's national anthem - forget about changing the flag! ) |

Thanks, as always, bluesfan,
My daughter is back now, she put on 2lbs in a week staying with my other daughter. She has charged straight back into the diet, it's the first one she has ever stuck to as I am making all the meal decisions. She just cooks them all and keeps track of her calories and fruit/snacks. The radio station was playing The Pretenders when I clicked on it - Chrissie Hynde, mmmmm! - I'll have to wait until I can use my Tablet to listen properly, being stuck on my phone doesn't give the power or quality to enjoy. Despite the rapidly deepening Depression, there is no way I am going back to where I was. Most noticably, the stubborn waist fat is melting away. In 2 or 4 weeks I will feel comfortable in admitting my Starting weight and measures and where I have gotten to. Dave.

I wish you the best of luck Dave on your weight loss. I know you will do it, although it might take longer than you'd like.
I worked so hard to lose weight and I did so well. But then, I gained weight from one of my past medications and now I can't take it off !! I guess that's why they call it the " battle of the bulge" |

Although my weight loss is different, I remind myself I didn't gain it overnight so I do not expect to loss overnight. So proud of you Dave. Keep up the fight.
Vintage.....those medications are horrible. So enjoy the new you. When I became less active and couldn't keep off the pounds....I enjoyed food. Didn't deny myself my cravings. So happy I didn't. Due to injury and teeth I had to give up chewing. Gave up a lot of foods cold turkey...no pun intended. and now I am so content with myself because when I could I didn't deprive myself. So I look at this new situation with a positive out look. |

Hi Dave,
The 2.8 pounds you lost is much better than if you gained 2.8 lbs. You're headed in the right direction :-) I'm trying to draw inspiration from all of you here as I cannot seem to lose the weight I put on because of the last medication I was on. I should change my name to Duncan..... like the yo-yo ! I keep on going down a couple of pounds, but I gain it right back....down a couple of pounds and right back up. My will power has not been good at all these days :-( |

Hi bizi,
Thank you for asking. The numbness in my right hand and arm, coupled with the pain, makes typing very difficult. I still cannot use my Tablet, so am on my phone with all the additional vision issues. It is very frustrating, being unable to participate fully here, although I am struggling through reading everybody's Posts. Dave.
