Moral Support Needed Here...

Well, I was right... my weight loss has stalled. And I've started keeping a diet book with my carb counts so I know I've not been cheating! But my loss this week was ounces rather than pounds... It's a pain because I was hoping to move on from induction soon and start adding foods, but this is going to put that off...

On the other hand, I think I have lost a very little, I did think this might be a 'plateau point', so I'm hoping I'll start losing again soon.

I also had something totally cool happen this weekend... Sorry I didn't spread it around, but I didn't want to get a certain person totally swamped... But... I spoke to JR on the phone! He posted a message on his notice board saying people could ring him at a hotel, and it turned out to be for real! I had a really nice chat with him. One of the coolest things that's happened to me in a long while!
 
WOW!!!!!!!!!

That's totally cool!

My biggest dream and my birthday wish for when I'm down there is to get a huge hug from him!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I would just die!!!! I would have loved to talk with him! He is so sweet and giving!

I lost the link to his website, please send it to me!

Keep going Rowan! I know it's frustrating but it will get going again! Let your metabolism catch up!

Keep me posted!

Hugs,

Kaye:D
 
Where I am

Plateauing must be contagious becasue I'm there right now. Seriously frustrating, but I'll get by. I think what happened is I got sloppy in my weighing and measuring and added a couple of things too fast. I'm gonna snug it all back up to the first couple of weeks of induction and try and re-kickstart it.

Aa for JR: I had a chance to chat with him for a few minutes [we've been playing e-mail tag trying to arrange a Q&A for a web site I'm part of]. He just finishing up a movie and has another already lined up. He's been one very busy fella and feels sad and sorry that he hasn't been around for his fans as much as he'd like.

I assured him that making movies and TV programs we can all see him in was a "Good Thing"[tm]. I do hope you get a chance to meet him SamJack - he's a very dear guy.

I REALLY HOPE I CAN MEET HIM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

:wave: :laugh2:


**bouncity, bouncity, bouncity**

Bouncing off wall!

Thanks Rowan, keep your fingers crossed.
 
Here's the link for the Wolf message boards:

Wolf Boards

(Includes Jr's board)

And his actual site:

JR's Site

(jr-bourne.com works too)

Meanwhile... got my Mr Motivator tapes out! I'm hoping pushing up the exercise will get things moving again!

I told Jr I didn't have any Easter eggs as I'm on a low carb diet, so I have to have something to show for it when I see him!
 
Oh, I adore JR...he's such a nice and friendly guy.
I had the chance to meet him in germany and got two kisses from him. :D

He seems to be determined not to lose contact with his fans, obviously even feeling guilty -according to your post, Rowan :p- when he's filming and therefore doesn't have enough time for them. :p

I too hope you get the chance to meet him, SamJack.

I remember JR tellung us he'd lost 30 pounds in a very short amount of time for a film he did in Australia. He played a heroin addict and had to look worn and thin. Poor guy. Is everybody on diet? lol :p
 
Yeah, he did look thin... I hope he's put it back on!

Though we didn't discuss it he also sort of laughed knowingly when I mentioned the diet...

(And he gives GREAT hugs...)
 
Thanks Everyone!!!

Thanks for the news on JR!

I think he is wonderful. He is part of my three man team of SG1 actor (I bet you can't guess the other two?)


:D I REALLY HOPE THAT I CAN MEET HIM!

Thats for sure...he really does give great hugs...I was lucky to get a few kisses and hugs from him in Germany. He is such a great guy! One of my fave guests that I have met so far :cool:
 
OOps

Forgot to check in last week with my results. 2lb more down, that's 10 in total now. I've made a slight adjustment to my regime now. I still go to WW to get weighed but I follow Atkins now but don't go over WW points allowance, a sort of AtkinsWatchers. It seems to be working OK - as a friend of mine says "whatever spins your gate".

I go to WW tonite so I'll check in later with this week's results. Keep drinking the water - I'm up to 4 litres a day now and feel like a sponge.

Checked in at WW tonite - no change this week. A bit disappointed but will soldier on.
 
What a week...

Phoning Jr last Saturday, he came into our chatroom on Tuesday too, then on Wednesday a neighbour got a new kitchen and as a result I got a washing machine and microwave. :rain: I am paying for the washing machine though, sort of... Getting it up to the second floor with no lift was no fun! Took half an hour to get it to the base of the stairs then luckily found a guy with a trolley for the rest of the way (still hard...). The aches and pains from that mean Mr Motivator has not been out the last few days... Then of course there was Corin being cancelled from SG6 :confused:

And.... 2 more pounds gone, and in spite of having a glass of wine last night.

SFX is only a couple of weeks ago, so I'm going to stick to induction / 15/20 gms carb for now, except I am going to start adding a few more foods, like tomatoes (not been eating coz I think they might be one I'm sensitive to) and fresh cheeses. So wish me luck!
 
This week's result

Another 2lb off now - that's 12lb now. Looking good. I've also lost inchest of my waist and bust but not off my huge bum. Here's to the next weight in.
 
Plateaued

I have *so* plateaued! :( Haven't move a pound in two some weeks. <sigh>

Rowan
 
Latest weigh in

A massive loss of 4lbs this week. A total of 16lbs in all now. Feeling really chuffed.
 
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'M SO PROUD OF YOU!


:wave: :star: :wave: :blpaw: :blpaw: :blpaw:



Keep up the great work!
 
Goods and Slows!

Way to go, Marianne. That's great! :circle: :flash: :circle:

And Rowan G, I understand. I've been stuck at the same spot for almost 3 months. {{{Rowan Green}}}. But, at least we aren't gaining! And we've stayed with it. :star: :star:

Last few weeks it been 0 to 1 pound :erm: Could have been worse though, since it was SFX and I wasn't able to totally stick to the diet. I had my first caffeine, bread and nuts in weeks, and I didn't gain over the week...

Early days yet, but I think I may have found my secret to get back on track... Throw away the diet diary!:wink2: It has been useful to do it because it's taught me a lot and I'm probably much better able to estimate my intake now. But the fact is I've had problems losing while I was keeping it, and now I've abandoned it the weight seems to be coming off this week. I guess while I was keeping it I was obsessing too much about food! I think it encouraged me to eat higher carb foods at the end of the day sometimes. So when I go onto later stages I don't think I'll be counting carbs, just adding more foods.
 
i haven't read what other have said in their post...so sorry if im repeating what they say...


The most important is NOT to starve yourself. It will do more harm than good.

First thing first, is change your eating routine...out goes chips, crisps, anything fries, chocolate etc etc. Especially, FAST FOOD. They may be fast food, but they will pile on those weight and if you are hooked on those, it will be hard to loose any weight.

Do some exercise, but not over do yourself ;) Since you going to the gym, get some advice from the experts there.
