Sounds like a fantastic idea CC and I really hope that it is going to kick start you into your goal for Xmas!

Hope that your pain subsides soon and you can have a really positive week x

Pain hasn't subsided much throughout the day.

Hopefully it'll be gone tomorrow. Now going upstairs for a lie-down and read my book.
 
Good luck with the MIL ! I am very fortunate that mine is a lovely lady and I am so thankful for that!
I had scrambled egg for lunch and I think it's still stuck there in my gullet now, I am glad I did my exercise before lunch today!

I am going to have a little of it tomorrow though as it has done a fab job just sitting there and putting me off eating anything this afternoon.
Going to try a smaller portion of veg with tea as I tend to pile them on because you get a lot of bang for your buck calorie wise...
What happens though is that it takes me ages to eat my food and I really don't need the volume..I just think that is a hangover from SW really.
Thing is with the band you don't need (when restricted properly) to bulk up any meals.
Have to change my mentality about that too.

No more preventative eating for me....eg no more eating past restriction to try and ensure I avoid hunger later.
That never works anyway!

Thanks ... but you got me into thinking about RC. Didn't want to pay £28 today but when I saw that the pots were included in the welcome pack as well as a CD and some other stuff I couldn't pass it up.

I'll have a read of the pot instructions and report back to you FFBB.
 
CC-ok look forward to the report....what cha readin? Can you lot really tell I am American? Is it my accent? Or was it the non stop talking? *LOL*

Yeah hun, I do hope it all subsides soon and you feel better. take care hun.....

Hiya,

It's your prose that gives you away ;) that's how I knew you were from across the atlantic :)

I'm lying on my bed now having taken a hot shower, feeling a bit better for it. Just looking at the RC stuff which is as follows:

RC paper gift bag
Member's record card
Magic measure (for encouragement when not losing pounds but inches)
Amazing Inch Loss Plan booklet - (Phase 1) 14 day fast track
RC Direct Catalogue
Inch Loss Plan DVD
Portion Pots
Portion Pot guide

that's it. :)
 
Have a good time tonight at the support group CC, hope you feel up to going and enjoy it x

Jenn, I just bought the portion cups actually.
I hope that they will enable me to stop relying on weight watchers meals and just eat proper portions of normal foods..

I will keep my porridge in the morning as that's working well to keep me full til lunch,
then scrambled egg for lunch as it still feels like it's in there!! and when I get the cups, probably more Atkins inspired dinners as I did great on low carbs before, certainly lower GI stuff anyway as I don't want to have an excuse to pile on the fat with Atkins. (Cream was a problem for me as I love the stuff and probably OD'ed on it just because I could...rule bending again!!!)

I am taking it a day at a time and hopefully not eating round my band any more,..I'm sure I can last til Halloween as Dean is doing one of his amazing curries so I will have a little bit of that and then hopefully no more naughties or treats til our Christmas party.
 
Yeah, the whole first year I did not have as much restriction as I do now so I had to constantly battle with that.
I still have trouble dishing out smaller portions so I either slowly eat it or tip it away :S

I am definately going to be using the cups religiously as I need to be able to eyeball the right amount on my little plate

*LOL* nice one....well I was and continue to read when I get a chance ....two books a fred and rose west book- I have been reading that for the last 5 years.*LOL* and I am reading " the god delusion" by richard dawkins.....but I reckon it will take me 10 years to read it as the rate I actually get to read. I have no time, and the OH never lets me just go up to bed early and read for a few minutes....it's always....I will come with you...then it is "when you gonna put that book away!" so I seldom get a chance.....


AHHHHHHHH....I drank my milk too fast, go brain freeze...and now I want to be sick......not good! hehehe trust me to make myself sick and I am not even eating the food.


Neen---I know what you are saying...I defo think those pots are a good idea....I think I am going to get the ones for with the measuring tape and the tags too, and the pedometer...and the pots...on her site it is only a tenner.

I need to do that later....remind me....:D
 
ooh, I considered joining RC myself after my plastics consult as a way to ensure I get these last few lb's off and more importantly dont regain any weight before next May.

I will be very interested to hear more about the RC stuff you've got when I see you tonight CC.
 
hi folks
ive been back to heartlands today, only a quick meeting with one of the new dieticians, and she as said i can have my first fill in 3 weeks time...im well impressed...i havent lost any weight in 2 weeks so on a bit of a downer about that as im currently on steriods for plurisy....weighed in today at 116.9 kilos....id love to be 105 by xmas, so soon as im up to it, im off back to the gym....only had 3 ciggies today, so i feel like my whole life is changing for the better....
 
Good idea Jenn, it does seem pretty good value for a tenner.
I had a go at RC years ago and remember making some nice veg soup and soya mince/meat recipes that were quite filling and nice.
I have a ton of nice healthy recipes so I need to push the naughty cookbooks to the back and make room for some more wholesome cookery!
