20 somethings

So glad you're in the zone Scarlett, fab fab fab! I had a long chat with my consultant on the phone today about my target cos I keep wanting to change it lower and she basically told me to pack it in lol, I think I'm addicted to losing weight? She made a good point though that when I have my tummy tuck il lose probably around 5 or 6 pounds so will have to change target anyway when that comes so will be happy where I am for now. I don't know what's wrong with me, it's almost like my buzz of losing weight has gone and I have nothing to focus on, I focused so hard and long on losing all the weight now Im at target I feel abit lost, need to focus on something else. Might make it exercise and become a workoutaholic! X
 
Eek that's too exciting, Scarlett!

Jessica, I have to admit I have the fear of what you're talking about. I LOVE the thrill of seeing the scales go down (even though they rarely effing move haha) and the idea of not having that excitement and something to work for is terrifying. I actually think exercise would be a really good way to go as you can constantly give yourself challenges which will take a while to work towards, all the while benefiting your health..it's a win win.
Have you a date or possible date yet for your tummy tuck? It's seriously amazing that you've lost SO much weight that you need one...such an achievement :D
 
Well I'm back ladies and bloody frozen!!! Did week 1 day 1 of c25k, have really let myself go on the running front, so have decided to go back to basics, going to complete c25k, THEN move onto 10k runner, as tried at beginning of summer to jump straight in with that. Running is something that I would LOVE to be good at, but I'm really impatient and want to be good at it yesterday! One of my dreams is to run the marathon one day, maybe in 2 years, keep getting fit whilst getting to target, then I think once at target I could really focus on running - like you Jess I think I will struggle once at target with less to focus on! Xxx

Well I've been told there's a maximum wait of 6 months from seeing your gp but have spoke to girls who have waited 2! Think it all depends on your primary care trust, I got a letter to say funding had been agreed and my doctor had to refer me to a surgeon and as far as I'm aware il get a date to meet him and while I'm there hel give me a date for op?! So it's all just a waiting game now! I'm literally like a psycho everytime the post comes on a morning, then I spend the next hour in a mood cos it was just a virgin media bill or take away leaflet hahaha! X

You're doing fab camz! Wish we all lived close I would love someone to help me get started. I don't even own a pair of trainers or anything remotely exercisey to wear :S x
 
You don't need much, Jessica. I literally wear the same things to the gym everytime...I have 2 pairs of the same trousers so alternate those and have 3 gap t-shirts that are different colours. That's literally it. It's worth just buying even one outfit and washing it every day :) Do it, joining the gym is one of the best things I've done. Yes, I'm probably not any different to look at but even going helps my mood as I know I'm trying to do something to better myself :D

I really think I will, it's just my confidence! I've wanted to for so long and put it off but I think il bite the bullet and do it. My legs aren't going to tone sitting on my bum and it will give me something to focus my energy on. Thanks Jenna! You're good at persuading haha!!
Right that's me, I'm in bed typing away on my phone and OH is winging the light is too bright so off to sleep, night night xx
 
Night everyone :) hoping a bit exercise tonight will help me to sleep better tonight! Have packed my swimming stuff as MAY go for a swim between work and WI, but will see how I feel and if not come straight home!

Need to get back on it ASAP with the diet AND exercise front, I know I'm going to have my first gain this week, and I'm ok with it as last weeks WI was a falsey anyway due to sickness bug, BUT I've also been a bit slack with the syns and superfree's, I think because I was expecting a gain anyway!? Grr! But onwards and downwards! Night everyone! Xxx

4.5lbs off - not too shabby! But I'm def looking forward to changing to morning weigh ins (not sure my C was happy with me changing, but hey ho, it makes me feel better!)
It only gives me another 4 days til next weigh in though, miracles happen tho right?!? :)

Well I've packed my stuff ;-) it all depends what time I can get away from work as to whether I can go as WI is at 7, but fingers crossed I can get away early! Presume your off work Jenna if you're going this morning, or are you one of those mega keen people who go at 6am before work?? Wish I had the time sometimes, but I leave the house at 7 as It is haha! Xxx

It's good in that way but I actually hate the uncertainty (I know I've a cheek saying that as I blatantly turned down a day of work today) lol!
I want a regular job, with regular 9-5 hours which you don't have to think about when you get home aghhh!
