Emma's 100 days of weight loss...

[Squeezyweezy]

I love the fact that you are so "up for" a complete lifestyle change. I agree with everything Lucy has said.
I know that you will do this, because you realise that it is no quick fix. The first part of the battle is won, now all you have to do is shift those tiny little pounds, and with everyones support you will do it easily.

thankyou squeezyweezy,

i really am up for this this time. my head finally seems to be in the right place. ive always had the urge to lose weight, but ive always been looking for a quick fix instead of a healthier approach both mentally and physically. im not giving myself any unachievable goals or unrealistic challenges. now its just healthy eating and everything in moderation. im actually excited to finally be doing this and i just hope this mentality stays with me. linda spangle's book is really helping me and i think her book will be a brilliant aid to me in my journey xx

I'm pretty sure I pulled those bullet points from a article on spark people - it just goes to show what wise words they are!
How are you getting on today? That book does seem interesting. I might buy it myself!

Getting on grand thanks babes. No exercise still as neck still in a bit of pain but hopefully after a couple days off work over the weekend I'll be fine. Just sticking to my kcals as much as possible. Had a dull headache the past 2 days and I never ever get headaches so I'm guessing it's sugar withdrawal lol.
My mum is gonna start kcal counting/rosemary Conley with me aswell. She's away at the weekend so she gonna start Monday. So it will be good to have her do it with me. She's got about the same as me to lose.

Yeah I think those points must be used quite widely with cognitive behavioural therapy. Spangle's book is fab. It's like my new bible lol xx

I'm delighted to hear it! I have every faith in you, I just want you to know that. I'm no expert, but I'm experienced so if you've got any questions just fire away!

Your headache probably is sugar withdrawal. Don't worry it'll go away soon

Rosemary C principes are so so good, so you're doing the right thing. She's very big on not eating much over 5% fat and using natural ingredients with none of this processed mumbo jumbo. So combined with calorie counting you are sorted!

My mum and I lost this weight together too and I can't tell you what a good idea it was. At first when we were in the transition of diet/lifestyle change It was like we didn't want to let each other down, so we kept at it until we got there. We also go to the gym together. My mum was a really embarrassed about going to the gym at first since she thought everyone would be staring at her, but I think me going with her gave her a comfort.

My mum's really intelligent, but she hates numbers lol. Like if she has half a packet of 250g mushrooms at 13 cals per 100g she needs to ask me how many calories that amounted up to. So not only do I count my calories, but I count hers too! But I don't mind in the slightest, because she's my mum, I love her and that's the things you do for the people you love So I think it's fantastic that you're going to do this with your mum xx

Welcome back Em!!! How's it going? x

 

[Samalama]

Hi Em - how is your weekend going?

 

[emz.is.shrinkin]

Hi Em - how is your weekend going?

Hi samalama,

Weekend is good thanks. Finished work today until thursday so I'm quite pleased about that lol :-D
On the diet front things aren't so great. I haven't binged or anything but haven't counted kcals today at all and haven't been thinking about what I'm eating. Me and OH are going out tonight and I'll be having a drinkypoos or 2 so I've been eating bread and stuff to absorb the alcohol lol. And I know I'll be craving hangover food in the morning. OH starts a month of nite shifts 2moro nite so we are making the most of this weekend as we'll hardly see each other over the next couple weeks. So I've decided not to get myself in a tizzy about what I eat this weekend and get back to focus properly on Monday and hopefully exercise as neck is a bit better now too.

Hope u and everyone else is having a great weekend xxx
