Thread: Sunshine's Trip To Pre Baby Weight (start Thurs 13th oct, p 91)

Ooh what a brilliant day. I started off finding 'the' outfit and then went off to another amazing shopping centre in Southampton with oh as he wanted to get a new phone.
So for the gig I am wearing a fab grey leather mini skirt which kicks out, black t-shirt, black to the knee leggings with lace and heals (may need to buy a pair). Hair and makeup trial is next week. Going for mad makeup and Drew Barrymore hair. Yay! Can't believe I found an outfit and I cannot believe that I am in a mini skirt and don't look like a complete hefalump. Also bought 2 vest tops and gorgeous top from Kookai all in size 1 (that's 8-10) couldn't believe it. So nice to have some tops that fit me.

Then i tried jeans in Oasis. First the bootcut type I'd lived in for 3 years (size 14), today i could get into 10's and do them up (too tight but first ever size 10 trousers to go near me). I ended up buying skinny dark jeans but i'm not sure about them. OH loves them and he'd always tell me the truth but id have to always wear long tops with them and not sure I can be bothered with that.. I do love skinny jeans tho, got them in a size 12 as they're skin tight!

Greeneyes, isn;t it just fab to be shrinking like this. How fab that you're the new you going to see The Killers this time. You could probably wear that top as a dress now lol!!!! Great feeling isn't it.

Foodie:
Porridge with bananna
bar
3 strawbs
coffee
chicken breast, rice & veg
stewed apple and cinemon, youhurt
coffee

lol i see a pattern here. I will start having other food, just doing what's easiest at the moment but it is nice to have the choice when I want it. I am going to turn into a chicken at this rate. xxx

Congrats on getting 'the outfit'!! I agree that it is so nice being able to go into a clothes shop and get clothes you like!! I went to high street the other day and could walk into shops and pick up size 12s and they fit, it is such a great feeling.

By the way your outfit sounds awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank's Aussi, I couldn't believe when i saw this skirt. It's a 12 and when I put it up to me I was thinking this isn't gonna fit but sure i'll try it on in case. Would like to get a sexy black rocky kind of top but can't find any so the black top I got will be ok.... it's got hot pink through the top. It's a bit brave to wear a skirt this short...seriously couldn't wear it without the leggings!!! hahhahaha. Finally able to pick up fashion I love...it's great. Just need to lose this last lot of weight. It's not wanting to leave lol.

How are you doing today hun? xxx

My OH told me today we're invited to a black tie do in September. While out shopping I looked in places like Karen Millan and Coast and instead of being filled with dread about dresses, I was filled with excitment. How fab to be able to chose a dress and one that you love and not one that just hides the fat body underneath. Good feeling!

Hey sunshine, not doing the best today to be honest, feel like I am going backwards with cd rather that forwards. Not sure what to do next. Im so happy for you that you are able to go into shops you like, what a confidence booster!

Aw Aussi, sorry to hear you're not doing too great at the moment. You know I have been at a standstill for 3 weeks barley losing anything at all. So i've made up for it by measuring inch loss and focusing on enjoying my new shape because it started eating me up that the scales weren't moving. Like tonight I went through loads of my clothes to see what actually fits me including my ball gown, dresses, trousers, tops, all sorts... Have you done this with your wardrobe yet?

The thing is tho I'm not weighing myself at the moment. I normally weigh every morning but decided to put the scales away as I was getting demotivated. I'm feeling so good right now I just don't want to get down because of the scales so I may not weigh for 2 weeks altogether when I see my cdc. Are you weighing yourslef at home? x

Brekkie - porridge & bananna
Morning - coffee out
Lunch - choc mint mousse/muffin (not sure yet
Afternoon-yoghurt & strawbs
Dinner - Out & eek!
Coffee, water

Meeting oh's old friends for the first time tonight and going for dinner. On 810 I always went out for dinner and stayed on plan so I'm hoping 1000 will make it lots easier. I just need to remember the carb portions will be huge and to eat it all. Don't even know where we're going yet. So i'll fill in dinner after.

I was up till all hours trying on my wardrobe last night. Was such fun and having a choice now in what to wear everyday and not being stuck in the same pair of black jeans (altho i love them and will have to buy more at goal) and hoodies everyday is brilliant.

Off to meet a friend for coffee this morning and have a good catch up. Wearing white linin trousers, navy vest witha small white crossover crop top.... Can't believe the crop fits me and i don't have 2 massive muffin tops hanging out over my trousers. Yay xxx

My cdc told me to rid of the scales so I have, however this week - after eating so badly I get them out - I think its a form of punishment to myself though. I have pulled out clothes in my wardrobe that stopped fitting and it was such a joy to put them on again! However if I am not careful they will soon be too tight!

Your clothes you are wearing today to coffee sound lovely! Have a nice dinner and meeting with the 'in laws' - not always an easy thing to do. If you could go out on 810, you will be fine with food choice!

Hiya hun,

Try and stay focused on how amazing you'll feel when you're at goal. You've done sooooo well, you can do this, I know you can!

Oooh no i've met the in-laws it's old friends of his we're meeting tonight. He is a top radio DJ so it'll be great to meet them. Yeah you're right about eating out on 1000.

Oh my gosh.... i really am turning into a serial shopper. I refunded yesterdays skinny jeans and bought a G-Star pair for double the price eek. They are very fab skinnies altho i have a suitable muffin top but another half stone and that should go and the store said they will give (I hope so). Also bought MORE underwear!!!!! bloody hell I do need to stop lol.

Nice seeing my friend for coffee, always turns into 2 hours worth of coffee and chat. Hadn't seen her in nearly 3 weeks and she kept complimenting how well I looked which is always a huge boost.

Hope anyone reading this is having a great day on track. I'll be thinking about my fab new skinnies at dinner and remind myself of how great it will feel to be wearing them with no muffin tops at all lol x

...inch loss this week:

Waist- 1/2in
Hips- 1in
Legs- 1 1/2in
Arms- 1/2in
Bust- 1/4in

Loving this inch loss thing and ditching the scales is def working for me. Sorry for all my babbling lately, just very hyper with all that is coming up. You either have sick moaning Sunshine or rambling mad woman Sunshine lol

Haha, mad rambling woman is good sunshine! Glad you are loving life at the moment and I think it is nice to treat yourself, especially after doing so well. You at least have am excuse to now anyway. Glad coffee was nice, I love girly catch ups, and cant wait to have them again when I go home to aus. Musta read wrong about your dinner tonight, have fun anyway, what sorta music do you sing?

Well we decided on Nando's tonight in London which was perfect as I had chicken breast and rice. I ordered corn on the cob as the sides come with it, had a mouthful and luckily it was yuck so had no more. Normal sized portions there too. Finished with organic mint tea while the others had desert. Loads of water too as London was roasting.

Just had a bar now at home which I've done every day. This is probably so silly and it means I must be taking in closer to 1200 calories instead of 1000. I haven't asked my cdc about doing this. I'm sure it's not such a great idea.

My music....well for 2 years straight i played as a soloist, me and my piano....pretty chilled out. But now I'm working with my band I'm doing heavier music. Hard to describe. Catchy tunes I suppose. May be getting a live web cast and if so i'll post the website here.xxx

Flipiteewoo!!!!I weighed myself today as it's a week since I last did. Official wi usually tomorrow but not seeing cdc till the following monday. I guess that extra bar every day hasn't done me any good at all as I have stayed exactly the same. Now I'm hoping tomorrow, proper wi day, i'll have lost even 1lb but this is getting silly. I must cut out the extra cdmeal. No idea why I've got in the habbit of thinking it's ok...when it's really not. I have lost inches tho. I did weights one night but i still should have lost. Also just finished my period but I can't blame that for barley losinganything in 4 weeks. It's so flipping frustrating. I'm a bit annoyed. I stick to the diet 100% all day and most of the night and then i have an extra bar....why? Well, lesson learnt...that's it no more. The bars are in the back of the freezer now and I'll leave them there. I can't help being demotivated which is why I stopped weighing myself daily.....damn!

Those scales better move down by tomorrow or I'll be screaming at them. The amount of walking I've been doing from all that shopping lol hahahahahahaha, my run at the gym etc....i still think they should have moved with or without the added cd bar. I must be in denile that i've been doing it as i haven't been logging it in my daily foodie list! slap, slap and double slap for me.

Gotta get on with the housework now before the band arrive for a rehearsal and have some work to do for that before they get here.

Brekkie- porridge & bananna

ps.....what about all that water i've been having all week. i doubled my intake to 4 litres!!!

I know I should't compare and I never have done before but why is it that others seem to lose weight regardless of them binging, cheating or eating off plan, planned days off etc? They still lose, even if it's a small loss but me nothing. Arg

Right housework done. Had my bar (my only one for today). Gonna get some cheesecake or something for the band with coffee later and I'll have my yoghurt and strawbs then. Dinner is chicken again and rice. Fancy pasta but as it bloats me and i wanna see a loss on the scales tomorrow I had better not. Music chord sheets done, so shower and shop, back to warm up and practise before they arrive.

I'll be so hyper after, I won't want to eat and me and oh are wanting to go to the gym. No weights for me tho this time, I'll stick to the treadmill and run those extra cd meals off lol. xxx
