Thread: The 14st Curse: Ellie's journey

Hey PB

Awesome job on the losses! Under 200lbs now, feels great to get a milestone like that, don't it?

You're doing so well, it's so inspiring to read!

Oo, a friday weigher! I weigh fridays too, might have to boogie on with you to the friday weigh group.

Keep at it

Wow bronski, that's a fantastic weight loss you got going there! 70lb! How long you been doing it for? Inspiring indeed!!

Yeah feels good to get on the right side of 200lb 170lb seems closer than when I was above 200lb! hehe crazy head games.

Gemstone, is there like a specific thread you got going where you all report your weight losses on fridays?! Yeah I'd love to join the friday weighers!

Thanks I've been going since summer 2006, next month'll be the three year anniversery! Not sure if a cake to celebrate would quite be the point though

It's fab to be in the 100s! Know what you mean about how reachable it all feels, use that to your advantage and you'll be seeing the 170s sooner than you think

Gemstone: if you could direct us to the thread, that'd be ace!

No specific thread as yet but it could be done - we usually just visit each others diaries.

You will be most welcome too Bronski x

Thanks Silence!

I naughtily jumped on the scales this morning and they were up again to just over 14.4 (about 1lb up), booooo but then I weighed a bit later than normal and after I'd drunk stuff and after brekkie so I'm assuming it's cos of that. All the more reason to work harder though this week, just in case!

I did the callenetics exercise prog yesterday and today, like yoga stuff from the 80s and blooming heck it's good! I was surprised I didn't have stiff muscles today but it's good that I didn't, shows I was doing something right before with toning up. They say you can lose a dress size in 10 days, we'll see if that theory works Certainly feel really good afterwards today, I feel all stretched and really toned and stuff.

Just revision revision and More revision today though. Bah. Exams start next week: tuesday and thursday, at the moment just doing some prep for thursdays exam (writing essays oh joyness). Feeling fairly prepared for tuesday's exam. I'm impressed with myself for not comfort eating whilst stressed with exams though, credit myself and all.

What exams are you preparing for Ellie? Good luck with them!!!

Super well done for not comfort eating at such a stressful time! This used to be one of my worst times of the year for comfort eating.

Hehe! Well I think I'm not a great comfort eater in stress, a little but not a lot. Mainly comfort eat when I have bad ToTM and all I want to eat all day is chocolate!
It's just end of year exams for uni, I study psychology and counselling. It's not too bad really only 3 exams but I just push myself to get the best I can possibly get for each of them..

Aye, that's all you can do isn't it? Good luck with them anyway!
Psych and Counselling... where are you studying? I had a friend who did that at Hull - He loved it. I did French and Italian at Salford, graduated last year.

cheers me dear!

I'm at roehampton university I do like it and we have a pretty campus. This is really the only pants time of year but once a year isn't tooo bad French and Italian! Wow so what do you do with that, translation I guess? was that one of those cool degrees where you go study abroad for a year?

Yeah I studied abroad for a year... five months in Italy, four in France. Straight out of uni I worked as a Junior Translator in Strasbourg for ten months. I came back a month ago because I couldn't settle out there. There's loads of language jobs in sales, business, marketing type roles. I'm pretty open to career moves at the moment.

Woo I just took some progress pictures (in my undies that is!) to compare to when I was a similar weight before. BIG difference because now you can see where I'm really starting to tone up a lot, so I can't wait to see another stone off and those progress pictures! I will post the before/afters at goal!

Hey Ellie! Don't fret about being slightly up on the scales. If you're weighing at different times then it can really distort the results. Weigh at the same time every day (no clothes on, after a pee!) to get consistent results

Good idea taking progress pics! I wish I'd been more organised with mine.

Silence: Awesome that your mate went to Hull Uni Go Armadilos!!
