Evening everyone,
Wow 6 pages of posts to read, this forum is sure growing at an alarming rate. So good to see that so many people are doing this programme and have great successes.
dilfizzle My Cohen's goal weight is 58 to 61kgs but I dont ever remember being that size before so I have put it down as 70kgs, but depending on how easy it is to get there I think I may change it to about 65kgs.
Do you need to fast for more than 1day? Why not give your clinic a ring as they must come across this often. Sounds strange that you would put weight on when youre actually fasting but then do you eat after dark but just not during daylight hours? Maybe that has something to do with it.
Pinky 8484 Sorry to tell you that the 1st place I noticed the weight coming off from was my bust. My bra's are quite puckered in the cups and I'm now doing them up to the last catch instead of the first. Haven/t bought new bra's yet as I want to wait as long as possible.
I have also started taking Metamucil capsules for constipation but it has taken about 2 weeks before it had any effect. I try to take 3 in morning and 3 at night (if I remember). I have also changed my tea to Earl Grey as it has a slight perfume taste and is quite sweet but I only have about 2 or 3 cups per day and find that it really helps.
Mitmary I have to cook cold meat for my families lunches so what I did in the first place was to weigh some raw silverside, roast beef and corned brisket (don't know if the corned bit is allowed but figured that little bit couldn't be too bad, correct me if I'm wrong anybody) and then I weighed it after it was cooked and so now I have the correct weight when I cook a large piece. It is really handy to have in the fridge to have with salad for lunches. I put a dressing I made of Vinegar, lemon juice and sweetener on it, which makes the salad quite delish.
fornight The oil spray that seem's to be a problem for you in singapore can be either canola or olive oil but by using the spray instead of the liquid you are probably not using as much as it is only a fine mist. But I would think that by using only a very small amount it would be okay.
Magic Lea Wow 15kgs in 3 weeks. It's taken me 3mths to lose that much. What the devil are you doing up there in Harvey. Haven't long until your first weigh in, they will be stoked. Keep it up.
Love the sound of the Thai Chicken Meatballs, will give them a try for tea tomorrow night. The only thing that has me worried, as in a lot of recipes we use our crispbread allowance and I find that I need them for a snack in the mid morning or afternoon and feel that I would be wasting them in a recipe so will try it first without them and see how they taste.
I haven't been able to move my ticker for awhile now but have finished playing pennant golf (we won the final, yippee) and apart from the windup dinner, at which I'm going to ask for a 120gm steak and salad, there doesn't appear to be anything on the horizon that could make me deviate so will be good from now on and maybe I'll be able to move it again.
Everyone keep up the good work and congratulations to all the new gals (&guys, if there are any) for taking on the challenge. Any loss is a good loss.
Cheers.
