Step 1 Sole Source Day 1 again, 6st off but 6st on !

Good morning lovely :)

Oh you will see the big changes ... and soon!

I totally understand the urge to weigh, weigh, weigh ... but you have to resist tell yourself you'll on check every 3 days as a treat (if you drive, put the scales in your boot - you won't fancy nipping out there first thing in the morning!); I was an obsessive 'weigher', the problem was little or no loss sent me into a tail spin, so my CDC at the time literally came to my home on a surprise visit and TOOK my scales!!!! Lol he held them to ransom - when I did four solid weeks 100% SS he gave them back - I was so attached to the stupid thing that it worked to refocus my mind ... you can imagine what comes next: he had actually cured me of my need to hop on the scales every morning post-wee :rolleyes:

I can't wait to do some aerobics or something, but I'm not trying to induce a 'cardiac event' so I'll have to wait until I'm in the 17s and my body is a bit more used to the reduced calories ... My sister liked Gillian Michaels, but I so want to try 'Slim In 6' (that's what you get for watching infomercials) but can't find anyone I know that's used the DVDs!

I'm raising an imaginary shake and wishing you another brill 100% day xx

Your so right about trying not to weigh daily but im cool with it as i wasnt expecting a loss everyday. Im going to try my hardest not to weigh tomorrow. Thankfully my scales were pretty much on par with my cdc so it should be ok on Tue.
not at work until later tonight so a nice chill day for me, plenty of time to get the water down without worry of rushing to the loo whilst at work lol x
 
I have to much time on my hands today and am messing around with my predictions etc lol

My initial goal is a 5 st loss which is a nice round number of 70lb. I know its loads but im thinking of imaginative ways to record it other than on here.
I need a spread sheet or graph but im not at allgood with IT so will ask my son for help on that one but heres my next idea..................................
A box of straws with 70 in and take out a straw for each pound I lose :D, I did say I have too much time on my hands but I think it will be good to keep a track of 70 becoming less and the " waste " pile becoming bigger. Something tangable to move around and count if that makes sence ( feel free to tell me if im losing the plot ) My hubby says I've lost it but then suggested using a bag of balls, dear god we've both lost the plot lol

Just going to hang my head in shame and hide in the corner until I get back to normal !
 
My last post for today on my diary as I'm off to wrk later this evening but I'm super pleased my weigh day is Tue as that's exactly 10 weeks to NYE !


We always go out in the afternoon with friends and end up around 9pm before it gets to busy, I would be cheesed off getting dressed for a night out at the mo but I know 10 weeks is a lot of weight loss so that's just the thing I need to focus on.
I have Dec pretty much fully booked, 2 nights in Glasgow, a trip to Amsterdam = 2 nights then 2 nights in Edinburgh plus a works night out. As I said yesterday it's all about damage limitation so I'm already planning what I can have where to try and keep to protein only. I do however have the 7 FULL weeks of no social activities first so plenty of time to think about Dec but I do like to be in control and will check the menus for the restaurants we plan to visit and will PRAY to still have a loss each week ( I managed last year with weekends away so it should be ok )

The 10 weeks to new year is now my focus and I'm aiming for a loss of 35lbs which is half of my target at 2.5 stone.

I'm going to go for a long walk with the hubby in the morning, I was trying to wait but I'm feeling the need to get things going and I want results like I had last year and I walked loads then so needs must.
We generally do a 5 to 12 mile walk depending on the weather and there's a great app called map my walk which I use to track me so I can input into my fitness pal which is another handy app.

Hope everyone has had a good day and I shall catch up again tomorrow x

Hope the photo works ?

Just walked around 5 miles and burned aprox 750 kcal :)
Great way to start my Sunday morning, feeling fab ahead of my weigh in on Tue.
Just less than 48hrs lol

Nice lazy day today as I'm off work so plenty time to post & read on here. Watch the footy with the hubby, sort some Xmas ideas. Generally a nice lazy day now the walk is done.

Hope everyone is having a good day xxx

I love to walk but it was raining so only a short one for today, even if I do that though i still feel a bit better as with being off work today I won't be doing much.
Last year I was walking around 50 miles per week so will build up back to that all being well.
I'm super excited for weigh in but don't want to build myself up as my 1st ever week was a whopping 11lb and I'm aware I may not lose as much this time.
I'm already feeling more comfortable in my clothes though and am returning 2 pairs of jeans I bought on line a couple of weeks ago as I've not even taken the tags off and they are huggggggggge, I should have got a smaller size as today I was ok in my 18's. my back and chest are always bigger than my bottom half but I'm itching to get back in my size 12's, a long way to go but I will get there. I found my old Cambridge card so it will be interesting to see how my stats compare.

Just under 1ltr of water down, 1 shake and a peppermint tea so bang on track for another 100% SS day :)

Your doing great also so keep up the good work Hunni x
 
Well day 6 almost over and I'm now getting hyper for my weigh in on Tue morning :) Can't flipping wait !

6 days SS 100% and it's seriously like a dream to be back in the " zone "
I'm going to try and walk more but I'm not even sure when my next day off is as I'm doing overtime to fund Dec when I'm only working 5 days :) I love Xmas so have lots of social outings planned but my main thing is now NYE I did buy a dress last year for NYE but felt to self conscious in it and I was around 14.7 then so no way will I be that low this year but I will feel way more confident than I do now so that's a good thing.
I've just bought a new slendertone belt as mine is wrecked and if it works or not who knows but I feel better when I use mine :)
Sorry to ramble again I'm just hyper and sooooooooooooo excited to see the great drops the next few weeks.
My interim goal is 35lb in 10 weeks which will be a loss of 2.5 st by New Year's Eve, wish me luck as that's a lot considering how much I have going on in Dec but if I aim for the moon and reach the stars I won't feel as though I've failed if that makes sense x
 
You won't fail, your mini goal is totally doable. I'm so proud of you for getting to this point - well done girl!

You will be lighter and healthier for NYE - it's all in the mental preparation and I know you're fully aware how careful you have to be for all of your functions coming up .... Cut the carbs (they are death on the system right now) and you'll be fine. Most of all, have fun and mentally set your date for hitting up the 100% SS again ... This is a difficult time of year to make big changes .... But six days in you know there's no such thing as 'impossible' right?

Hurray for the natural high of getting it right lol xx

Thanks Beverley, I'm just so hyper and I do feel sooooooooooooo in control. I guess I'm a bit of a control freak hence planning ahead so much. This place is great for support and without yourself and others maybe I wouldn't have got to day 6 so thanks EVERYONE :)
 
Well day 7 today 100% SS and my official weigh in is a mere 24 hours away.

I started at 16.12 and know by week 2 weigh in I will be in the 15's.
Would still like a " good " loss tomorrow, anything over 7lb will keep me on track, not that I'm coming off lol but after a week SS I deserve at least half a stone :)

A long long day ahead at work as I work on trains and my shift today is 16hr to 0200, lots of delays today so goodness knows what will happen later.

Plenty of water and green tea, 3 ready made shakes and boom that's my 1st week over.

I know I said it yesterday but it's like a dream come true to be back in the zone, as sad as I am I'm loving it :)
I have so many clothes I've been unable to wear so I can't wait for our holiday in Jan just to see how my clothes from my Sept holiday compare, I'm hoping none if them will fit and they will be hugggggge !

Hope everyone has a happy and safe Monday,
Keep up the good work girls, tomorrow is 9 weeks to NYE and we can make a big difference to how we look and feel in 9 weeks, What a fab start to the new year to be 2st lighter ! ! !
 
This is so exciting for you.... A solid week in the zone and WI tomorrow :) I don't know what I'm getting so excited for! Lol

Blimey is it only 9 weeks to the end of 2013? Bring it on!!!! We can lose so much in that time. Excellent. Like you it's so much like a miracle to be in the right mental place that I'm not bothered or derailed by food. This isn't for ever - just a waystation to get us where we need to be :) Either way the next five months is going to pass, right? We could eat our way to misery and heart disease, or put in the work and be slim..... Yay Team CWP lol (pictured myself with pompoms there for a minute!).

Have a good night at work mate x (tomorrow will come even faster!)
 
I love the idea of pom-poms and may buy a cheerleader costume in a couple of months ? my hubby would love it.

Keep up the great work girls, 9 weeks to a much happier new year x x x
 
Still at work until 0230 but can't get my weigh in out of my head.

Mega excited although I know this is just the start of it.

Good luck to everyone weighing in tomorrow :)

I shall update ASAP x
