DO NOT DESPAIR if you fall of the wagon. Just start again NOW - not tomorrow. Or else you have the excuse to pig-out  Try to eat 'filling foods' to stop you picking and if you fancy something sweet, have fruit or sugar free jelly and fruit.
Well done, Rheumatoidmummy (sorry we don't know your name) - please share your success tips with us 
Commiserations to Lyn W. You have my email address if you want to contact me for support. Don't think you are on your own. Sometimes you don't lose weight, but if you measure yourself regularly, you may find you have lost inches. Then the following week you do lose. So don't give up just 'cos you don't lose one week.
Sophie - if you've got to eat, choose fruit, carrot and celery sticks and cherry tomatoes. Even if you eat piles of them, they won't be as bad for you as sweets, biscuits or cake 
Melly - well done for last week - commiserations for this week. Yes, planning, weighing and tracking (writing down everything that goes in your mouth) is the only way I can lose weight. It is very interesting to look back at my records of a week when I had a good weight loss and then look at a week when I either didn't lose or put on.
Keep it up you losers

Hello everyone,
I'm not too sure why I'm doing so well recently - probably the knowledge that I'm going to be lying on a beach in a few weeks time has spurred me into action! Also - with the addition of Sulfasalazine and Hyroxychloroquine to MTX I've managed to reduce my steroids from 15mg to 3mg and I've noticed I'm definately less hungry. Also, I've been doing this a while now - about a year - so I've gradually been adjusting what I eat so I have low point things without really noticing the difference now. I think it's always much easier to lose weight in the summer as you don't mind having salad! I've also got a lot of support in the form of my husband who also wants to eat healthily. I track everything and use a pedometer too....um can't think of anything else right now....!!
Off for my low point breakfast now - crumpets and jam - yummy!

I know I don't belong on this thread eating for two as I am and I never ever diet anyway (sorry- I am way too radical for diets)...but just to say my mark has lost a total of 1 whole stone!!!!!!!!!!
It is not visible but will keep you posted should any more weight drop off! His thyroid is now normal too which is great!
Love,
Amanda

Hi Ann and all
Glad to report I am now well and truly back on the healthy eating kick. Hoping I will loose a pound or two this week. You are an inspiration, Ann and I am in awe of you. What a tremendous achievement. Steve says that if I loose 3 stones and am fitter, he'll get me the choc lab or german shepherd I've been wanting for ages. How about that for an incentive?
Lots of love
Jeanxxxxx

Well I didn't lose any last week but I've managed to lose a pound this week, so that's 5lbs now and I am quite pleased! Still a fair way to go but heyho ... Go Jean - wow what a prize! I like the sound of the choc lab, I love them they're so cute Lyn x
