Well done to you all!

Fabulous inspiration thread!

Super! xx
Its my 2nd day on CD, had a look on scales and 3lb off already! Though had 2 diet cokes in the pub earlier cos they only had tap water (yuk!) other than that its been plain sailing, not looking forward to days 3 and 4, if, like alot of people say, they are the worst! And I'm off work too...Going to make my wedding invitations to try keep my mind off food!
WELL DONE TO ALL OF YOU! I KNOW NOW THAT WEIGHT LOSS IS ACHIEVABLE! GOT 9 STONE TO GO SO NEEDED A LITTLE REASSURANCE!!
Hi Amelia,
this is the site for reassurance...I'm on week 10 and have lost 4 stone (out of just under 10 I want to loose..) that is not even 3 months...it isn't easy but the rewards are fab and so worth all the blood, sweat and tears...
You will be a gorgeous bride..(i just presume the invitations are for your own wedding....)
take care and good luck..

This thread has been so excellent for someone who only started just under 2 weeks ago!!!
Well my story is, I started this journey at 23 stone 4lbs feeling quite depressed about my weight but pretending for it not to let it bother me. I was quite happy to be 'invisible' but when it came to being too fat for Evans, enough was enough!!!!!! I started at a size 30/32 and it scares me. I am 30 years old and 2 weeks into the diet, I have lost 15lbs. That's amazing to me. I want to lose weight to get my life back but also to find the real me. I wear clothes that fit me, not ones that I 'like' Yes, I do make sure that I look OK for work and I always do my makeup and hair because I've been able to 'control that' but I'm sick of people saying that I've got 'such a pretty face' I would love someone to think I had a nice ass!! (other than my bf!! :P )
So, I'm so excited to have found this forum, it has really helped me to get over the first few days of the diet that were very hard for me. But now, I am finding it quite good, I just love it, I'm so excited about my future and one day I hope to post my before and after pictures!!!![]()

Just wanted you all to know to hang in there if you don't get the weigh in results you want . . . I have been on ss for 3 weeks - BUT - i have cheated with cheese and meats, then had a ball to attend on Friday, which I did and drank red wine, had AWFUL hangover Saturday, so had a bit of a blow out with pizza, fish & chips . . . .. . . . so when got weighed Monday, had gained 2 and 1/4 lb BUT . . . my clothes are loose, so I've got STRAIGHT back onto ss and am doing ok so far . .. . am SO determined to lose weight this time all the way to target, and I've never been as good as this after a blip before! So don't just look at the scales, take note of your clothes, cos that's what matters
