98 DAY CHALLENGE - MiniMins.com

donnamarie · 23rd May, 2008

I've decided to start up a new thread to hopefully keep me on track.

The 1st couple of weeks on this diet i did well, but then 1 bad day has turned into nearly 2 weeks

I am trying to lose weight for my wedding in october.
But am now setting myself this 98 day S/S challenge as im going away on holiday in 99 days time.

Last time we went away (april) my girls got very upset and annoyed with me because i wouldnt go swimming with them and daddy

It's the 1st time my weight issues have got to them and im not letting it happen again!

Im going to S/S for 98 days so i can be in that pool with them this time round!
I've promised them and myself

So tomorrow is going to be day 1 of my challenge...

Sarette · 23rd May, 2008

Sounds like a fab idea to me, good luck for the next 98 days, be strong and remember you're doing it for your girls!

Keep us posted xxx

donnamarie · 24th May, 2008

Thank you Sarette.

Well it's morning of day 1.. and the little voice in my head has already started... "enjoy the weekend 1st, start tuesday"
But im not gonna give in i have to start this today!!!
I will post back later, hope you all have a good day...

Steph · 24th May, 2008

C'mon Donnamarie you can do it

just keep think how good you are going to feel once you are in that pool!

BREN · 24th May, 2008

Donnamarie

You are going to do this and be swimming in a matter of 98 days girl! Do some floor exercises today and drink plenty of water, go to the park with the girls... take a healthy packed lunch.

Let us know how your getting on.

SO MUCH TO LOSE! · 24th May, 2008

oh donnamarie,im so sorry to hear you are struggling.
do you find this diet to extreme for you,as it`s not for everyone,or maybe you would consider doing ss+(with 200kcal meal)instead as this might keep you on the straight and narrow.this is what im doing and my losses are not bad well apart from when i cheated............see your not the only one!!!
i know how you feel about the swimming thing as i go and watch my 2 little ones swimming every week with their dad and they beg me to go and its horrible to have to say no as they dont understand that you wont go in because of your weight they just see thier mum whos perfect.
just try to stay focused as the 1st few days are the hardest hun,once you do that you`ll be flying,as i always say"NOTHING TASTES BETTER THAN BEING SLIM FEELS"
BE STRONG AND POST OFTEN,KEEP US POSTED,

Morning babes

I am gonna join you on this for a little motivation.

I am gonna do the ss with a 200cal meal though as I think I may need that to keep me on track.

Here goes to day one for me.

Come on hun ... If I can have a go then so can you!

Lisa · 25th May, 2008

I Am joining you too. I tried counting the days down from Christmas but lost it and now am restarting. I need all the challenges possible to keep me on track. When you realise how time flies and you could have been lighter now it is frustrating. But keep at it-keep thinking how you will feel in that cozzie-imagine the confidence build up through the 97 days [because every day you are lighter]. Put clothes on now and write down what you are wearing and how they make you feel and wear exactly same clothes a week or two weeks later and write down. It can be very motivating. Good luck. I am just off to have my first shake!!!

donnamarie · 25th May, 2008

Aww thanks guys

I feel really bad now as ive not done it today

I've been in and out of bed all day, not feeling to great.

But one good thing is i think i now know why i've been struggling... i got my monthly today... my 1st one in over 4 years!
April 1st i had my coil removed and expected to have a monthly alomst straight away, but it came today 8 and a half weeks after having coil removed.
While the coil was in i didnt have a monthly, so im kinda having a bad one right now!
Sat here with a hot water bottle!

But i am so glad that some of you are joining me on my challenge, im sure that is gonna help me.. no excuses im doing this tomorrow.. i promise!

jackietrew · 25th May, 2008

aw you'll be fine! im sure slim people have no idea how much of a mental struggle it is to eat but we all understand completely! just rememeber that you have the power to overcome to urge and you're in charge! and you know you'll be so happy when you're swimming with your little girls and know it was all worth it! good luck xxx

Jools · 25th May, 2008

Hi hun

Thanks for the PM!.

I didn't manage a full day today either. I had some bolognese sauce for tea .. not loads but still not good!

Tomorrow is another day for me yet again so we will try our hardest!

Try and get some rest with your monthly as it may sap all of the energy you have!

Jools · 25th May, 2008

Right hun lets get into this! Tomorrow is day one for both of us!

Lets go ....
