Weight loss day

[linda_joyce]

I know it should be tomorrow but I have to MOT the car among other things and I don't know when I will be able to weigh. Any how I have lost another 1 pound so it is walking the wonder dog that helps with my weight loss as I haven't walked him since Beth and Jill got back from holiday until yesterday. I'm going animal sitting in Newport next week so I won't be walking him next week either but a pound is a pound so I'm not grumbling. Under the cut is a picture of me taken this morning, I have lost one stone 2 pounds(16 lbs) since I went to the Biobank so I am posting it and will post an other after my next stone weight loss. Losyn was sitting nicely by my side and just as the shutter clicked something bit him.

YAY! Well done on losing another pound :o)

Btw - a stone is only 14lbs, so you're past the one stone lost already :o)

My memory and my maths are not good to put it mildly, I'll go and changr it now.

[clara-swift.livejournal.com]

I always get it wrong to - it's 16 ounces to a pound and fourteen pounds to a stone. The metric system is so much easier ;oP

Are we still using rods and perches and poles?

Just me then.

Well done Linda!

Your that up to date, I'm still working in libra, sester and stadia

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

And thank you.

Well done on the loss so far/ I had my weekly weigh this morning, and haven't shifted anything from last week, which is slightly despressing. Still, at least I haven't gained any weight.

Keep it up (or down)

Are you calorie counting and have you been dieting for more than a month? If so try eating more for a week or two, add about 500 cals per day it gets your body out of famin mode and you should begin to lose again when you go back to your strict diet.

Huzzah for you and Losyn the Wonder Diet Dog!

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

It has to be him that walks the pounds off me, I knew he was useful for something but it took a long time to find out what.

[entropy-house.livejournal.com]

I'm sure he's good for reducing your blood pressure, too. :^)

Most of the time, Wednesday was not one of those times though, but half of that has to be laid on Maia.

All looks and sounds nice. I keep my fingers crossed for you!
Losyn has become a symbol, I noticed...

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Aneccesity it seems, I only lose large amounts when I walk him three times a week. Well I will be back at that in August and perhaps I could borrow Maia on the other days, if I knew where she lived I'd volunteer.

I bet if you put up a notice at the grocery store or veterinarians offering to walk gentle dogs that lived near X for free for the sake of exercise you'd get responses.

16 lbs. That's great.

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

I'm pleased. How do you get your little boy to sit still and behave for his picture, if you have a secret please tell.

[kalinda001.livejournal.com]

Well, for me the problem is to get him to do something. His prefered activity is to sit and watch the action, or sleep. Though if you take too many pictures of him, he does get annoyed and moves off.

Wow, well done!

What's the Biobank?

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

Taken from their site
UK Biobank is a major UK medical research initiative, and a registered charity in its own right, with the aim of improving the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of serious and life-threatening illnesses – including cancer, heart diseases, diabetes, arthritis and forms of dementia. To do this vital work we need your help. We are now recruiting 500,000 people aged 40-69 from across the country to take part in this project. Further information can be found at http://www.ukbiobank.ac.uk/

Both Beth and I were asked to take part and happily our appointments were on the same day back in March. We filled in a questionaire, got weighed, measured and gave them samples of blood and urine for further research. We will probably never know if they use us other than as data in their stats but it might help and we had nothing better to do that day.

Yey, still loosing weight! 16 pounds total is great. :)
Sounds like Losyn has a job - diet dog. ;)

[linda-joyce.livejournal.com]

He was and will be again once I start walking him 3 times a week once more, which will be the week after next.

[javahound.livejournal.com]

I bet he'll be all to happy to oblige!
