Thread: RuthHarris - Just keep swimming!!

Well, though i'd start a diary, it may help me! I have lost 1stone 10lbs but these past 6 weeks i have been in a rut and dont seem to be going anywhere!

My motivations for weight loss are:

Being able to ride my young horse next year when she is ready and not be too heavy for her.

To get back into my wedding and engagement rings which i had to cut off as i put so much weight on since i got married that they got stuck.

Had an amazing chat tonight with consultant and group and feel really focused again! gotta get through this!!

Will keep you updated!

Well day one of getting myself back on track! 7 weeks to xmas, surely i can do 2lb a week and get another stone before then? Well i can only try and i'm the only one that can make myself do it. I have to think of the reasons why i want to do it and every time i feel myself crumbling just remind myself that i wont get the outcome i want if i dont do what needs to be done! At least through this rough phase i have gone back to group and stuck through it and admitted exactly where i am going wrong. No point covering up your mistakes right?

So with all the best will and intention in the world i set out once again to do it right, but this time with a little more thought and care, afterall i'm only hurting myself if i dont!

Great positivity!!!

i have had a recent blip

but have restarted from monday.

lets keep each other on the right track, we can do it!!

The more the merrier, we are all here to help eachother and thats what i'll do!x x

Hi ruth, sounds like you're doing everything right.

i've just weighed in and i've put two pounds on!!

well i'm hoping that its a late catch up from my blip that lasted a good fortnight, and everything i've done well this week will hopefully show up next monday, so i wont lose heart and just keep going as i was last week x

fingers crossed eh!

Dont get disheartened! We all have blips and we all put on, it's knowing your determined to get it back off that counts! Hope this week goes better for you! X x

Had a fab night last night, food all went to plan though drank quite a bit of alcohol! Hopefully I danced it all off as I was shattered when I got home!!! Fingers crossed for weigh in tomorrow!!

Fingers crossed!!!

Thankyou! Looking forward to it but also dreading it because if I haven't lost I'll be gutted! Like glue this week i've been!
