Weight Loss Forum / General Topics / August 2004Weigh in and the day after
Well I finally went for my weigh in yesterday, as I thought I was up 2.6kg 5 3/4 lbs :-( this in just 6 weeks. SO I am back to journaling and weaning myself off the points down to a weigh loss level. Todays goal 23 points so far 22.5. Not bad for 3 meals and 2 snacks. ( B: Muesli with peach banana and skim milk, Sn: peach and a milky coffee, L: polenta with grated cheese and salad w o dressing milky coffee, Sn: low fat milk rice, D: stir fry w pasta chicken and veg) My goal is reduce by one point a day until I have my 18 points which I used to have during the weight loss period.(European system) Got to get used to lower points slowly but will stop if weight loss is too quick. My Pedeometer was showing 11000 steps before I accidently hit the reset button still 2 hours before bed too. Not to sure how many activity points I think with 11000+ steps I will give myself 1 point. It feels good to be back on track. I think I will save my 1.5 point towards the weekend. Now the plan for tomorrow is 22 points. Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg Michelle, sorry for your weight gain, but it is also a good sign wrt your recent medical history. If you lost weight without trying, that would be more worrisome. I am sure that you re-lose your gain. I hope that your doctor is aware of and approves your diet. i who visited an oncologist with someone just today My doctor doesn't really want me to lose weight at the moment but to maintain, alot of the weight is probably water from the medication, but the 60kg mark is my psychological barrier. I will lose 1 to 2 lbs to get below and then back to maintaining. I had built up a conciderable clothing allowance but I won't really be trying for that now.

Losing 9 kg (13% of body weight) after a surgery like this is a big deal, especially since weight loss and thyroid function are related, so a doctor may know something that you don't. Maybe ask him why he thinks you should not lose weight. See if he has anything worthwhile to say. Perhaps he would agree to suggest to postpone your weight loss by a few months, to see if there is any new disease, and to proceed with it if there is no new disease? To those who might pop up here saying that "ignoranus is dispensing medical advice", this is not medical advice, but common sense based advice. This was a suggestion to follow a doctor's advice after a complex medical situation. This is not a run of the mill dieter situation. One has to tread carefully. i who knows someone who lost 57 lbs without even trying >>Michelle, sorry for your weight gain, but it is also a good sign wrt >>your recent medical history.

Imisread your numbers, sorry, you only want to lose 2.5 kg. Still, I would go with a doctor. i > To those who might pop up here saying that "ignoranus is dispensing > medical advice", this is not medical advice, but common sense based [quoted text clipped - 12 lines] >>>i >>>who visited an oncologist with someone just today Thanks for your concern Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg >>> My doctor doesn't really want me to lose weight at the moment but to >>> maintain, alot of the weight is probably water from the medication, [quoted text clipped - 35 lines] >>>>i >>>>who visited an oncologist with someone just today >To those who might pop up here saying that "ignoranus is dispensing >medical advice", Well, someone's got to say it:)) Ig, I never thought I see you describe yourself as an a***hole.

The lowest the US program goes is 20 points for everyone under 150 lbs. IIRC the old system here did go down to 18 points. I'm currently at the 20 point level and don't have too much trouble sticking with it. The Flex Point system allows for an additional 35 points each week and 1 point for each 30 minutes of exercise.

My > Pedeometer was showing 11000 steps before I accidently hit the reset [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland > 69.8/61.4/61kg No we don't have the flex point program here. Our points are a little different, we get lower points but can earn activity points ( max of 12 a week) but there are alot of fruit and most veg that have 0 points, so no problems on the amount allowed to eat, you just have to make sensible choices :-) For example breakfast today 30 g muesli w fruit no sugar 2 points 10g bran with prunes 0.5 points 120 ml skim milk 1 point, grated apple 0 points. One very filling breakfast for just 3.5 points. Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg snip > >Do you have the Flex Point program in Europe?

SO I am back to journaling [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] >Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland >69.8/61.4/61kg Sounds like you're doing well getting back on track, Michelle. I don't think the 5 3/4 lbs. weight gain is bad at all, considering. You're catching it before it's gotten out of control, and you know how to deal with it, so I'm sure you'll succeed.

[quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >Chris >262/143/ (145-150) Thanks Chris. I need to deal with this now before it turns into 15+lbs like normal. Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg That really wasn't so bad of a weight gain in my eyes -- but you are very smart to catch it now. Looks like you are doing terrific on exercise too. I am pulling for you, Michelle! Mary > Well I finally went for my weigh in yesterday, as I thought I was up > 2.6kg 5 3/4 lbs :-( this in just 6 weeks.

I am seeing a drop on my scale so I am looking forward to my next weigh in. No real exercise just walking, I am not allowed back in the weight room yet, and can't do any serious cardio either. So gentle walking it is for now. Michelle : Ozzie in Switzerland 69.8/61.4/61kg >That really wasn't so bad of a weight gain in my eyes -- but you are very smart to >catch it now.
