Thread: GIANT STEPS

Angel-Missy, THANK YOU. ITs been a tough few days but I think I am through the worst. Without minimins I would have caved for sure.


Belle

You are doing so well Belle and being so strong despite adversity! Keep going chick and watch those pounds melt away babe xxx

" I want instant long lasting results."

Hi Slimsarah, You know I bet when I have slogged my way through losing 111lbs they will invent a pill that does the job for you. I had a wobble this week. I lost that greed. It IS the magic ingredient to this diet. I think you MUST have that greed to succeed. I lost a pound on the scales this morning and THAT has motivated me again. I was only holding on cos of the pledge I made to stay 100% til it rains. But this morning I feel like I am back. Back on the diet. Not just clinging on with my fingernails but behind my ass and pushing it to slimdom.


What amazes me is how quickly you can get from 15st 10 to 15st 3. It really is just a matter of a week or two. DAYS. GO FOR IT.

I want to be in the 14s in the next 10 days and then I want to be 13 stone for a weekend away at the beginning of June. At 13 stone I just look a bit big. Not obese. I am sick of being the fattest mother at the gate, the fattest person on the plane, the fattest person in the room. 13 stone is the mark when I start to look normalish and can start shopping in regular shops.


Belle

13 is definitely my magic number. To see the high 12's would just be amazing! A pill that does it all for you? I'd take a handful lol

I love feeling motivated to do this. It's definitely a frame of mind, for years I toyed with the idea of loosing weight, constantly googling quick fixes etc. exercise was a big thing for me, absolutely hated it and now I love it xxx

aha!! ive found ya diary again... so a quick hello and its still not raining anywhere so we are 100% still i hope me loverly..

I am desperate to be in the 12's in time for 28th April.. even 12.13 will put a huge smile on my face... so i have just over 4 weeks now to do it.. I am DETERMINED not to fail .xxxx

Ahhh Belle, bet your not the fattest mother in the playground! I'm sure you'll definitely hit your target! before you know it we will both be in the 9's comparing notes on how we are maintaing hehehe!!

Hi Belle

We are going to crack this thing together!

How you doing today Belle?
Forewarning you will laugh at my diary tomorrow eeeeeeeeek :P

Hope your havin a good day

Hi Belle, how are you today?

Where are you Belle?

H Darcy. Im still here. I couldnt log in o
On my iphone so was blocked out!!!!!! IT WAS AWFUL! I couldnt navigate around and the site kept switching pages on me. Thank you for noticing my absence! Im still going ok. Had my aam on friday post big audit (i passed!) and im two further pound down since then! Thats three lbs down this week despite the various aam days or maybe because of them. Was 100%yesterday and will be today. I am 15st exactly on the scales so i really really want to get down to about 14st 10 next week to kill the 14s iykwim. I need to put a big dent in them to motivate myself. Im two stone down now since i began and that feels sooo good. I want another two gone now!!

Very hard to post off phone. Its taken me ages to qrite this. Something not right with site still. Ill get on my proper co
Puter later and post more.

Niennor. I am laughing already!

Valentine. It still hasnt rained. Im being good. Are you?!

Belle

Nice to hear from you Belle, and glad all is well

I can only use my iPad on the site. Main computer - and work one - will not play ball at all

Hoping it will all settle down eventually.

I lost 3 lbs this week, so pleased with that.

Ah Belle your back!
annoying re the app going haywire, It did that to me not so long ago but touch wood all okay now!
Glad your loosing well! sounds like you have been really good even with a fair amount of stress!
Wish I had your will power of steal!

Gald to hear you are doign well Belle....well done on the audit and those pouns dropping off xxx

Good Morning. Its Monday morning and I am smiling. Yes. A big grin. I am 14st 13lbs this morning!!!!!!!!!. Unbelievable. Astonishing. I had no expectation of hitting the 14s til next week. So YIPPEEEEEE! (fat lady does irish jig down the street, singing loudly, out of tune. Passersby clap and cheer. Small children wave flags witht the number 14 on....)

AND I have an easy day at work ahead - everything had to be up to date for last Friday so little to do!!
AND my laptop is working on MINIMINS again

So despite the cooler weather (and snow/sleet forcast -can you believe THAT) I am all sunny inside...


Had very very tough week last week. I was stressed to breaking point. I HATE AUDITS. I got through the week only because of my promise to Valentine to stay 100% TS til it rained. And then I had my aam on Friday. I must have knocked myself out of ketosis - I got super hungry -ravenous. I didnt get outside to exercise at all and that made it difficult to stick to the plan. And I just wanted that one little slice of meat and that one little bit of sausage. Something so small seemed so innocent. My inner demon said "It would hardly matter would it? Its sooo small. Eat it. You can be 100%TS again tomorrow, can't you?". But I had made a promise to stick 100TS and so I did. And I learned something important.

I learned the second secret of the diet. Overcome temptations once and all following temptations lose their power. THe temptations get weaker the more you resist them. The FIRST temptation is the worst. Overcome it and then when the evil tempts rise again you know that their power is fleeting and that the feeling of success you get when you beat them is uplifting. And that feeling of success is sooo motivating. Today I am the weight I was when I started LT four years ago, but you may have noticed I feel like a WINNER. Cos I resisted and succeeded in getting back into ketosis. Ok so I may cry again. This really matters to me.

I didnt really want to post over the weekend cos I felt so bad. It would have been a real downer. It suited that I couldnt log on properly. But today I feel like I am committed to this diet than I was on day 1! Unexpected and exciting.

As you know I couldnt do this without minimins and the friends I've made here and the support given. A big big thanks.

Belle
