Hi Elasti, I think about you daily, I wish we all lived closer together, we would totally help each other out on our bad days (whatever that looks like for each of us). I have been so proud of you getting on that treadmill despite your arthritis, you are AMAZING. I am beginning to wonder if I move more I will find more relief. I honestly think the 'bursitis' (again self diagnosed) has gotten worse because I've lost the weight, less padding between my hips and the mattress. The new mattress has a medium pillow top, the old one only has a small one and it's well crushed after 10yrs. My fingers are really crossed that it will help both my hips and DH's back and shoulders. Keep up the great work hun xoxo

Shellie- I hope it helps! Im having a bad week. The last 3 days I have eaten everything thats not nailed down. I do this from time to time. I just crave something so bad I just can’t resist. Im hoping its over now. I get on the scales every morning and see them going up but just can’t seem to stop myself. I hope I dont get worse while DH is away. I dont tend to do this in front of him but he’s been shopping, outside packing up the trailer with food stuffs and cooking stuff last night grrrr

Judy - hang in there, you're doing so well otherwise

We are going to do 5 and 2 - 500 cal days on the days we all work together -Tuesdays and Thursdays. The young girl has already meal planned and given us our shopping list LOL should be fun.

www.nigella.com/recipes/view/MEATZZA-5546If I hadn't misspelled it, you probably would have known what I was talking about JudyBasically,
500g Mince (I use Turkey) Egg Herbs/Spices Garlic - formed into a giant pattie (on a Pizza Tray) with a raised edge
for PP Day top with
Ham/Lean Bacon/Lean Sausage/Prawns Cream Cheese Egg (this is why you need the raised edge)
or PV Day Top with Veg (Tomato, Mushroom, Capsicum)
or on Phase 3 & 4 Top with above and a little Cheese
I cook 'base' until firm and trasfer to a rack to 'crisp' up a little

Hi Girls,
Shellie that meatzza sounds good
Judy you must be so close to goal! Keep on trucking
I've talked to my doctor about my mental health, the different meds I'm on & weight issues & he's basically said I should lay off the 'dieting' for the next few months & really focus on getting myself better, eating for my health, having a variety & to make time for exercising within my limits. (I can't remember his exact words, but it was along those lines.) So with that in mind this last week I've lost 800gr. Woo! (I didn't log anything though) I've been shopping this morning & stocked up on a few things - I don't have a definite plan to follow as such but hopefully it'll be a good healthy balance & will evolve into a plan.
Week 2 Monday 25/5 B: 2 pieces of white toast & vegemite, coffee (running late so I needed something fast to take meds with) S: coffee, a banana L: fish & salad S: tea, 1/2 blueberry muffin D: roast chicken, roast sweet potato & green beans
lots of water

Judy, good to have someone to be accountable with you. And to keep busy on those 500cal days.
Elasti, I agree with your Dr, you need to do what makes you feel healthy and happy. For me, losing weight is the MAIN THING that will make me happier. It's not about the size or how I look, but how I feel. I absolutely feel better than I did 18months ago, but I want more, or less as the case might be. I want to feel my best self. We are right here with you whatever you need to do.
We went out for Mexican Dinner last night, just Hubby and I. I am putting that under the 'something for ourselves' list. It was super yummy, fun and we even went for dessert after (which I bought 1/2 home for the kids). We try to go out for lunch every week or 2, but it's not the same as out for Dinner, so I've decided that Hubby and I need to make a proper Date Night once a month on a PV Sunday and cut back to Lunch out only on PV Mondays (every 2nd week)
Monday 25/5 PP Day B- Coffee, Green Tea, Dukan Muffin S- Hot Chocolate, Chicken Breast L- Dukan Focaccia, Turkey Patty, Turkey Sauces, Lean Short Cut Bacon, Egg - BURGER!!!!! S- D- Salmon, Turkey Patty, ShortCut Bacon, Cream Cheese S- DeCafe Coffee, Green Tea, Sleepy Time Tea DOH!!!! Ate some bread with spread >:Dmust remember to go to bed instead of stupid overtired eating
Tuesday 26/5 PV Day B- Coffee, Green Tea S- Coffee, Greet Tea L - Garlic Steak and L/O Salmon & Salad S- Dukan Muffin or Focaccia Bread, Green Tea D- Garlic Steak and Veg S- Dukan Muffin, DeCafe Coffee, Sleepy Time Tea
Wednesday 27/5 PP Day B- Coffee, Green Tea S- Vanilla Yoghurt L- Garlic Steak, Smoked Salmon, 1/2 Turkey sausage S- Dukan Foccacia D- Pork Chop, Salmon Fillet S- Dukan Muffin, Green Tea Now that would be a really good (minus the pork although it was lean) Dukan Day, BUT I decided to have a glass of wine (Bacardi was empty) in honour of the State of Origin. Well that ended up being 3 glasses (1 before dinner, 1 with dinner and 1 after dinner) which probably wouldn't not have been too horrendous, except that I have really big glasses so it was an entire bottle Bad Shellie, Bad Bad Shellie
Thursday 28/5 PV Day B- Coffee S- L- Chicken and Veg soup, Dukan Foccocia S- D- Turkey San Chow Bau, Mushrooms and Cos Lettuce 'cups' Super Yummy, Super healthy S- Dukan Muffin, Green Tea AND THEN....I have 2 pieces of bread with spread on it. Seriously SHELLIE, good all day ALL DAY and then ruin it just before bed time. WHAT ARE YOU THINKING!!!!!!
Friday 29/5 PP Day B- Coffee, Green Tea (Brewed up a pot of Green Tea this morning, trying the Green Tea Flush today) S- Salmon, Green Tea L - Salmon, Green Tea S- Green Tea D- Garlic Steak, Lamb Kofta with FF Taziki, Marinated Chicken S- Green Tea, Dukan Muffin, Wholemeal Crust with ProActive & Cheese
I am feeling pretty good about things this morning, was good (most) of yesterday and feeling less bloated and a little lighter this morning Saturday 30/5 PV Day B- Coffee, Green Tea, ShortCut Bacon, Egg & Egg White Scramble, Mushrooms S- Green Tea L- L/O San Chow Bau topped with a runny poached egg, Lettuce Leaves S- Broccoli and Crispy Bacon Soup with Dukan Foccacia, Green Tea D- Roast Turkey Breast, Baked Pumpkin, Carrot with Steamed Brocc & Cauli S- Green Tea, Dukan Muffin

ok I need to remember to come in here & log everything as I go, I keep forgetting! I muddled through last week with no real plans for exercise or eating & forgetting to log & it wasn't a good idea (too many carbs, not enough protein & not enough moving) BUT my weight stayed the same so that's a plus
I need to get out of that 'I'm on a diet' it's all or nothing mentality My plan is to exercise at least 3 times a week. Food wise I'll aim to eat healthier all round - leaning towards low carb.
Monday 1/6/15 a fresh start! B: 2 scrambled eggs L: tuna & cheese, leftover bit of chicken breast D: Snacks: Exercise: 15 min walk
Tuesday 2/6 B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:
Wednesday 3/6 B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:
Thursday 4/6 B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:
Friday 5/6 B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:
Saturday 6/6 B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:
Sunday 7/6
B: L: D: Snacks: Exercise:

AHHHH Monday, Reset Day, Start Over Day, Fresh Start Day.....whatever you call it
In the last week I have lost 1kg (which is a kg I found again) but I am feeling super focused and excited to see regular weight loss when I get on the scales each morning. So hopefully next week I can say I've dropped to my lowest weight since Christmas I am motivated and feeling like I'm back in the right 'headspace' DH has put on 5kg (fairly slowly) but has mentioned he needs to recommit to the process. He has been having extra's at work and gallons of Ice Cream at home, so hoping he goes back to being a 'good influence' on me I am aiming to drink 1.5+Liters of Green Tea each day. I make a pot in the morning and them reheat it as the day goes on. It's a much easier way to get my water in these cold days. I have also been making a healthy soup each week, Cauliflower, Pumpkin and this week it's Broccoli I have also been experimenting with the Dukan Oven Bread. Variations - Garlic (and Butter essence) Bread, Banana Bread (add Splenda, Banana Essence & whipped Egg Whites), Got some Coconut Essence for this weeks batch and I have also been adding 1 piece of Sugar Free Chocolate (from the Chemist) and breaking it into 4 pieces which is a nice little chocolate treat.

Tuesday 2/6 PPDay - Down .2kg this morning B- Coffee S- Green Tea, Salmon with Mustard & Dill sauce, Egg L- L/O Curry Marinated Chicken, Lamb Kotfa, Tzatziki, Cream Cheese S- Green Tea D- StirFry Beef, Basa Fillets with Prawns in a Garlic Tomato Sauce S-
