Hi, I'm Kirsty, banded August 2014. My post op dairy

Well done Kirsty I really need to start exercising think I'll take a leaf out of your book and start walking,haven't got a dog tho suppose I could drag the hubby along lol
 
Well done Mrs! 11:13 I remember this feeling!!! Fab!

You doing amazing and it's Decber too!!! Xxx
 
Thanks for all dropping in girls.

I found November a hellish slog weight wise. I lost, re-gained then had to loss again, so many pounds this month. It was exhausting and such an emotional roller coaster
My net loss in the month was 7 pounds. I was 174lbs on the 2nd November and today on the first of December I am 167lbs...officially no longer obese but overweight.

So considering the weight gains I have had over the month I am pleased. But I had hoped for 8 to 10lbs loss per month. That was my plan at the start of the journey...

So December is going to be tough. I am away next week end to celebrate my hubby's birthday. He becomes an old age pensioner on the 8th December!

We are off to Lanzarotti on the 18th for a week to a gorgeous all inclusive hotel - booked before I even decided on my band, so that should be really interesting!!!

We return on Xmas night and will be entertaining on Boxing Day.

So god help me. I a taking my gym gear on holiday and am determined to do an hour in the gym every morning and join in the aqua fit classes and try to swim

So ladies, I wish you all a really positive December with loads of weight loss in the run up to Xmas xxxx
 
Well done kirster! Feeling a bit more motivated now. A slow 1 stone behind you but slow and steady xx

tweety. So pleased your feeling a bit better. Come on girl..you can do this...get a load off for Xmas. It's better than any prezzie under that tree xxxx
 
Well done Kirsty I really need to start exercising think I'll take a leaf out of your book and start walking,haven't got a dog tho suppose I could drag the hubby along lol

Q. I am finding that the exercise is really making a difference. It's hard to motivate ourselves some days though. I have just committed to joining Sharon at aqua fit tomorrow night. And I'm glad because that will make me go, otherwise after work I would have parked my bum in front of that telly and not moved
 
Fabulous Kirsty. Am happy to be beaten to the elusive 12st. You deserve it. Really well done. *slopes away as really gutted I'm not 11st 13 yet* :sigh: xxx

Ah Bear, you and Allfi will be bringing up the rear very soon, I'm sure of it xxxx
 
Hi Kirsty
You are doing fantastic, well done to getting to 12stone, by the time you read this you might have lost more.

Soon be the 18th, you will be busy when you get home, party on boxing day.
We normally have a house full, but will be quite this year, but will make up for it next year.

You take care, and enjoy the rest of your evening.
 
I'm struggling with binge days. Up to 12st 2 again :-(

But....it is all downward overall. This seems to be my pattern, loss, gain, loss my gain plus a pound or two more

It is emotionally exhausting

November was like this too...my over all weight in November was 7lb though. But in total I had gained 7lb over the month so lost a stone - how good would my weight loss be if I just would stop the gains.

I think December will be tough. Weekend away and a weeks holiday

If I can get to and stay under 12stone by Xmas I will be satisfied and consider December to be a maintaining month - under 12 by Xmas day was my goal anyway

Have been back on track food wise for two days. I have a family meal tomorrow and am planning chicken tikka with salad no bread or rice

I don't seem to be getting away with going over a 1000 cals or I pile on the pounds

But emotionally. Am in a good place today and still feel hopeful about my journey. It's just tougher than I expected.
 
You haven't really gained though have you Kirsty. Are you sure it's not just he natural day to day fluctuations and if you weighed once a week you might not see them?

I know you're a daily weigher, but if the flluctuations mean rubbish emotions, is there any chance of reducing it. Or maybe weighing just twice a week?

The thing is I completely get what it's like. The only reason I weigh once a week is because hubby takes the scales away - not sure I'd be so strong if I could access them.
 
I agree with bear...im sure its one of youre bounces! That holiday will be a bit cheeky though..i find on holiday you eat through boredom, its boring sunbathing! You will have to be strong...feel the force!!
 
Hi kirsty
I wouldnt worry it's the time of the year, do you do more walking on holiday.
Well I have orded scales today haven't been weighed since operation, and to be honest I dont feel like I have lost any weight but hopeing I have.

You have a good evening
 
I agree with the girls hunni, if your weighing more than once a week you will get those fluctuations........ i only weigh mid meek if i feel i've been not so good, it just keeps me in check but i take no notice of that weight until weigh day proper ....... i had a cheeky weigh on monday last week and was on a + but by the time Thursday came it was a - so keep that in mind...... and as bear says if it spins you into an emotional binge then stay clear of them......... Its difficult the first few months, its wearing, striving all the time...... a few months more in will see you relax about it all and i found you then just start to accept its part of everyday normal life and the swinging seems to calm down. You will naturally fit into some kind of pattern and that day to day constant striving will subside........ relax and don't be so hard on yourself, that only sends us back into binge mode...... my trick is a treat everyday, don't deprive yourself and don't beat yourself up

I know you can find the strength to do this, it is a hard journey............. i'm sure not many people realise just how difficult it is. Sending huge huge hugs x x x x x xx
 
Yes definitely move those scales out of harms way, and only weigh once a week. I would jump on them couple of times a day, but hubby has removed them for me. You are doing so well, just think how far you have come since the beginning. Don't be hard on yourself xxx
