any one heard from Kel78?
Hellooooooooooooo girls gosh ive been really rubbish lately didnt even know about new team member so apologies for the delay and welcome peachy.
Hope you are all doing well i'll have a read of the thread this week as i'm off and see what youve all been up to. I'm doing add a meal so having some v nice salads.
My weigh in loss this week was 3lb so still not 15 stone something but only 1lb off, hope i can do it this week despite aam.
Hi wannabe. Definitely jealousy on their part. I'm getting the same and I'm still much fatter than most people around me! I know I need to lose weight - other people shouldn't try and stick their nose into it. Good luck with getting to the three stone this week.
And welcome back Kel, that's a great loss this week.Not much to go until you're 15 something - well done! And good luck for next week.
Thanks all for my welcome,
Thought I better let you know a bit about my weight loss.
Well I lost over 3.5 stone on CD last year going from 17st down to 13st 7lbs (my lowest ever). But as life tends to do, I went on holiday and then before you know it was cold and wintery and xmas and i gave up on Cambridge. Me and my OH had issues as he didn't handle the attention I started to get very well and thought I was losing weight as I wanted to leave him. I think in the back of my mind I found it easier to stop the diet instead of face the issues we were having. I went back to 14stone and hung about there for about 6 months till this summer but then another stone appeared back on almost overnight in august sometime.
SO I know CD works for me and my relationship issues have all come out in the open and are now resolved. I have restarted again and again but only lasted a day at the most up until now. But I am in the right place now, I am taking it slowly and have finished my first week with a 6lb loss so good on me I think. yes i will have bad days but I have learned to accept this and really if everything else fails and only that piece of chocolate cake will do, then I will probably eventually give in and have it!!!! But, this time I won't beat myself up about it and feel like a failure. I'll get back on my journey until I get to the end. For me I don't want to be a specific weight but I want to feel comfortable in my own skin and look good (that sounds really vain). I have never not been the fat girl and at 26 that is quite sad.
So thanks for having me Team 15 - I hope to do you all proud!
If some of this post doesn't make sense then its because i keep going back and adding bits soz.
peachy

Oh yes,
Also I have been writing a blog if anyone cares. I have read No More Munching with much interest, hilarity and joy. So if you fancy reading mine, even though there is not much on there yet its at
Where is this thin Me?
totally get where you are coming from with OH issues I have set myself a goal, and all I get from him is im happy with how you are now, (so he wasnt happy before) and I dont want you to lose anymore syndrome but thats his issue not mine, we will work together i dont know whether as with your OH its the attention you now get with everyone i meet saying dont you look good etc ( what did i look like before ) will read your blog with interest x
With my OH, it was defo people saying. "Not seen you for ages, you look great".
I got a lot more attention from men but I never reciprocated. One bloke in the pub came up and asked me out and my OH was stood next to me. I just said, I don't think my boyfriend would approve and my boyfriend stormed out the pub saying i was giving out the wrong "signals"
I guess he wanted me more when nobody else wanted me, now he has competition he feels a bit threatened. I have reassured him not to be so bloody stupid and that I want to lose weight for him as well as for myself and so we can have a better quality of life together, not apart.
ALso as i have losing weight, I have started having new interests and going to the gym and stuff. Before I lost weight the only times i went out were with him to the local pub but now i am more confident and enjoy going out with girlfriends and stuff and he has struggled with that. I can see it from his side though, If your girlfirend of 6 years suddenly starts being more confident, dressing well and taking more pride in her appearance and going out without you then he has every right to feel scared. But men are funny creatures as when i was at my biggest he was always trying to encourage me to go out but I didn't want to and then when i do start going out he doesn't like that either.
Never Happy
Well Good Morning Team,
Hope we are all up bright and early and having our first shakes of the day?
