Thread: Bop's Road to Holiday!

So I am going to be going on holiday on the 15th July. Its my first trip abroad properly and i'm crazy excited. I'm going to Kefalonia for 2 weeks and I would love the confidence to stroll around without tights on, or feel okay about bring in a swimsuit. I lost 50lbs before christmas taking me down to 242lbs however I managed to put 8lbs on around the festive period (Back at home from uni, 21st birthday and christmas.) So I have another 85lbs to go to target (165lbs) and 27 weeks till holiday. Im hoping to lose at least 5 stone before holiday, which will make me 13 stone, however having my final target gives me something to strive for. Going to be using this to write my ramblings and food diary for each day ( I'm on EE) and hope that I can get back into the swing of things

Hi Emmy

So we are heading off on holiday at similar times then ? I'm sure you will hit your target then! Its good to have something for us to aim for to get the weight off! Hope you had a lovely christmas and new year

Do you have a diary?

Have you got a picture of the type of swimsuit you want? I'm hanging a bikini top on my wardrobe door to remind me each morning and keep me motivated and I've found that it's definitely helped with the motivation to get started properly next week once we've been shopping

Thats such a good idea. My student loan goes in next week so think I might buy a really nice swimsuit in the size I want to be by holiday and leave it where I can see it! Thanks for the idea hun! xx

Yes, pretty similar times, I think you're just a month after us I bet you can't wait. 2 weeks in the sun, pure bliss

Yes I do have a diary, think it's on page 2, but there isn't much in it at the moment as I'm not starting until monday as we need to go and do a big food shop lol

You're more than welcome Let us know what you choose

I've been ordering f cup bikini tops and pants ready to alter before we go. I find that my cup size doesn't change, just the back size lol and the smallest I've been since uni was a 38f lol. So I found some la senza bikinis in 38f, then I'm going to get my aunt to alter the back band for me

Will do I've got you in my subscribed threads now lol

Day 2 - Wednesday 4th January. EE

Breakfast - 2 rashers bacon on 2 small slices wholemeal bread with ketchup (HEXB + 1 syn)

Lunch - Root Vegetable Soup.

Dinner. Tried out the Cheesy tuna pasta bake with a few vegetable changes (spring onion for regular onion and courgette for broccoli). Also added a red pepper. This was so delish. Had to syn it as used light philidelphia instead of quark and some extra cheese. (HEXA + 3 Syns) But worked out at 7 syns.



Snacks today were half a pomelo and 2 dashes of milk in 2 cups of tea (1 Syn)

Got peckish so just had a fruit salad topped with a muller light! Yummy and Superfree! (or free in the yoghurts case)

Syns for the day - 9
1 x HEXA
1 x HEXB

Also tried making the slimming world ferrero rochers for tomorrow. Work out at 1.5 Syns for 2. They look and smell delish!
