2015 challenge

[Bigbear]

Interesting (and very familiar) to hear others e pertinence of their self image.
ive lost 4 stone since xmas, and now looking back at old photos is horrifying. Actually quite pleased with some of the photos of me at xmas, although can now see how much further I need to go to be a healthier weight.

love all the positivity and support on this thread, and can't wait to start updating the figures and seeing all the great progress.

When I had lost my 4 stone 2 years ago I caught myself in a full length mirror by accident and I did a double take! I was amazed!! Normally I'd run away from it but i wasn't horrified by what I saw.
I CANNOT WAIT to get that feeling again! X

Hubby and I have just been talking and we are seriously planning to go to Octoberfest, Daytona Beach in the States this year. This is great for me because I love that event (Biker Week) and it give me something to aim for .. always good to have a goal. As this means I'll be on a bike for a week like we used to do, it will be very hot and I'll have to get on a plane - I had better get a shifty on lol xx

Dream, Believe, Achieve!

I'm going to Florida in Oct 14 too. We booked the flights at Christmas

Ours is a more ordinary trip with a week in Orlando doing theme parks & week on west coast somewhere beachy and relaxing!

You girls have amazing reasons to get fabulous for

Mine isn't as big as yours but it's one nonetheless. In the nearly 4 years I've been with hubby I've never gone to his work xmas meal and this year I'm going to! So that's my little goal to be fabulous x

Fab goals, everyone - my first one is to be able to climb upstairs in three storey Italian townhouses when I go house hunting later in the year!

The plan is to go for two or three weeks so other than bike week we will zot down to Orlando or Kissimee as I am dying to do Harry Potter World and there is nothing on earth like the Halloween at Universal Studio's - I nearly pee my pants with fright but I just love it, love it, love it!!

I don't use it either sorry, but here's their help centre - should be able to help you EDIT - no it won't allow me to post the link, I just googled your question and it came up with the help centre addy.

And yes you're right, I feel a really special sense of community here too

 

[jayde1148]

Me too I think something special is going on, so glad to be a part of it

Sorry not on the I word that cannot be typed lol! Hope you can find out x

 

[cmcewn]

Isn't that weird - I wonder what they have against it ... just bizarre. Thanks anyway ladies and I will check out the help bit ..

 

[NessaC31]

I'm really feeling the love here too, nice to be surrounded by people who know who daunting it is to have a lot to lose.
I don't have that either (the word that can't be typed!) but I do have the pin board one ********* xx

Trim - yes in 2007 - not been a great experience for me. Lost whilst on liquids then nothing and lots of problems. Some still ongoing but praying I can have it removed currently have no saline in it but still feel some restriction but in general the o lying thing it has done is cause me pain and the truth is its all in the mind. I am glad I never did anything more drastic to discover it. so many people I know through surgery have not lost or put some or all back on even with bypass because it's our brain that needs changing and our habits. But the hypnotic one may be worth a shot I'm up for a get together one day xmas may or may not be ideal for depending on if it's this year (probably ok) but 2016 I'm likely to be in a parish and exhausted but happy Go team fab!

Aw Hun. Sounds like you have had a real time of it! I hope they can remove it for you! I often used to consider asking my GP for a gastric band referral. But like u say it's all about habits and changing your mindset! I hope it's all sorted for you soon Hun. Well done on keeping so positive and still being determined to lose weight x

 

[trimNslim]

Defo feeling the love in here! How refreshing to hear nothing but support and best wishes for everyone! No matter what amount we have to lose or how we are losing it, we are a team!... A fabulous team x
