Weight Loss Resolution

[hazey]

i have still been weighing but the last couple of weeks i have been putting the weight on instead of off! would rather put my losses on here than my gains! i will have to be stronger now though as i have high blood pressure and have to lose weight.

we are here for you lose or gain,sorry to hear about the blood pressure,try cutting your salt intake down,that will help a great deal.also did you know for every pound lost thats 1 point lower on your blood pressure !.

Myra so pleased for you,you were trying to break the 12 stone barrier, last I heard, well done to you,for getting to 11 stone 8.

thanks hazey, i do like my salt but will have to try and cut it down as i know its a big factor with high blood pressure. the annoying thing is i dont drink or smoke so its really only the weight factor that affects my blood pressure. i will have to be so much stronger now as both my mum and dad have tablets for blood pressure and my mum has diabetes too so i dont want history repeating itself.

I think you are wise to keep a check on things with your family history,my hubby had diabetes type 11 and also had high blood pressure, he was advised to use branded lo-salt,and in potatoes while boiling, use rock salt,you only need a very small amount of it though. Try adding herbs or pepper on your meals rather than salt,like all things new it will be strange at first,but you will get use to less salt, Good luck.

hiya all you losers!!!!! i havent been on this thread for ages!

well done everyone, Myra youve lost loads since i last checked in!!

well i went bad again but the last 2 weeks i have been on my diet and doing quite well( the odd bad day) i decided to weigh every fortnight and went to way yesterday in boots but the machine is out of order same for today too so i couldnt weigh. hopefully it will be wroking again by monday and i can let you all know how i have done.

i have also rediscovered the joy of walking everywhere! rather than getting a bus im now walking, if i wanna pay my council tax rather than bussing it to the housing office i just walk, it takes about the sametime so it a lot healthier to walk , also the fresh air gives me so much more energy!

anyway fingers crossed i will stick to it this time.

[hazey]

I have my fingers crossed for you too Debs,come on you can do it,just think how fab you will feel come the summer in your swimming custom,showing off the smaller you,believe me I feel at least ten years younger now,and I am full of life,and Connor can have fun with mum at the local swimming pool too.

Right, i'm so chuffed as i've managed to get to 10 st, but guess what, I put on a pair of size 14 jeans today, which fitted (kind of, not including my elastic jelly belly ). Anyway, to cut a long story short, the zip broke Pulled the stitching apart totally!! So looks like I'll need to stick with the size 16s that keep falling over my backside for the meantime....
