[janeyo]

Was in the petrol queue the other day and off to visit a friend, picked up a bag of do-nuts to take to hers.... then put them back again

Out for lunch tomorrow so expecting to NOT refuse dessert again as it's Mother's Day

sure I wrote a well done on your 0.8 lost, must get myself of those digi scales

[OverWyreGrower]

I've lost 0.8lbs this week (I LOVE my digital scales!) which I'm rather pleased with...

I'm hoping to have lost a stone by the time I do my 10K run in May (since I started this at Christmas)... I'll not be skinny by any means, but if I can just stop my tummy flobbing around when I run, I'll be pleased!!

I've been running 3 or 4 times a week now, plus an hour of Stretch & Tone aerobics, and hopefully I'll put some badminton and swimming in from next week as well.

Haven't been an angel with the food, but I think the exercise has made up for it!

Good going TS

elsie -
It's probably your scales; they just aren't as accurate as thet used to be for some reason. Where I stand on mine makes a difference of 2lb! Of course, I always stand where it's going to make me lighter!

I like that reason I do put them in the same place each time as I remember my dad doing the moving the scales around the house thing - he doesn't need to lose any weight, he weighs almost the same as when he was in his 20s (he's 75 now).

Nice to see you back and hope you're refreshed and raring to go. Well done on the kilo loss; you'll soon make it two, and then more.

DARN!!!..what is it about this thread?????.....everytime I've stuffed my face I see someone else has posted..then I feel guilty!!!

Nicos - You have to curb those cravings. lol.

[Two_Sheds]

Bought new scales (instead of going to Boots at 50p a weigh). I've lost a kilo since I started, but am still 5 kilos above my fighting weight.

Hmm, I put on a pound this week! Actually not sure how as I tracked all my food, stuck to points and had been active. But as OH says dont give up it's just a blip, and he reckons I am looking fitter Sometimes men can say the right things

Well done Janeyo - now that's will power!

[janeyo]

We ended up in Frankie and bennies for lunch after a stressful B&Q outing with the children... but I refused a dessert..... even though I REALLY REALLY wanted one

Kirsty - I had the same thought. It could easily be heartburn, but I used to work in cardiac rehab and quite often heartburn and angina symptoms were confunsed by both people and GPs.

Good going on the walking though

On the longer walks, I stop for a break every 1.5 hours or so for a drink and a snack because I do feel hungry while walking. Probably them giving me heartburn cos I don't get it often normally.

[Marthaclematis]

I subscribe to weightlossresources.co.uk and have lost one stone - v e r y s l o w l y - I'm hoping that I can loose one and a half more. There is a free 24hr trial. Go see.

How soon after eating do you start walking, kirsty? Any exercise could give you heartburn if you have not digested your last meal.

I don't want to scare you, but are you sure it IS acid reflux and not heart symptoms? They can easily be confused. If you're not sure it would be wise to get a check up.

Weirdly, despite the distance/pace, instead of being starving after a walk, all get is heartburn can't figure that one out at all.
