Hey,
yeah seems to make sense about dress sizes! some people say its a stone but personally to fit into them comfortably i think its more 2 stone like you were saying. weighed myself this morning and have stayed the same only 12 pounds down, but get weighed officially tomoz, shouldnt be annoyed that the weight has stopped for a day but i kinda am, coz in normal diets this is the point where i think "whats the point" and just go and eat, but i wont! whole family had a huge fry up this morning, but i didnt even like the smell! whats happening to me lol. hope you're doing good hun! xxxx
Yay!! Well done you!! :talk017:
Just think Jacks, even if you do stay the same for a week, you're probably losing inches. Weight is a funny thing and only a rough guide, I reckon. It depends a lot on how much water you have lurking before you get weighed!
oh and thats fantastic about losing 22lbs!!!! you must feel so good! so you've almost dropped a dress size then?! and lol about the fake tan, i used to be a beauty therapist so iv seen many a bad fake tan! try rubbing lemon on the very orangy bits and it fades it alot! try the mousse fake tan, thats what i use and i find i never get streaks, really good!! xxx
Oh thanks for the tip! I'll definitely try that. I had work colleagues trying to rub cigarette ash and water mix on my thumb at lunch, they reckoned it would work
I think lemon juice would be slightly better smelling
And yeppers, I was a tight 24 when I started, now I can fit into 22s (but some are a bit tight)! Woo hoo!
How have you done today hun?
Can I join your gang :sign0009:
My name is Caryl and I am a 27 year old single mum, also work full time as a mental health nurse. Due to my hectic lifestyle I have survived the past 9 years since leaving home by eating junk, crap and take aways. Consequently I now weigh in at somewhere between 22 and 23stone! At least I bloody hope I do, dont think I am more than that but who knows...
I am meeting my CDC on thursday for the first time, and planning to start CD on Monday (at the grandparents this weekend which is a recipe for disaster - trust me, better to start on monday!). Just been reading through this site for inspiration and help!
So can I join the 5 stone plus gang please? I am planning to lose 10 stone and need all the help and support I can get. Have dieted before and given up in less than 2 weeks normally having shifted just a few pounds. I have never done anything like CD before. Oh I am hoping to lose the weight by Feb next year, but its not a disaster if it isnt all gone by then, as long as most of it is .
My first goal is to get to under 20st for the first time in about 8 years
Hiya Caryl! Welcome to the gang!! Me and thee have got a similar amount to lose, so you're not alone!
Without wishing to sound patronising it is great to find other people in the same situation as me that have ALOT to lose . Did WW before - my meeting group was huge but I think I had the same to lose as everyone else put together!!!!! They were a big group of skinny minxes complaining that they were 5lb overweight - made me feel utterly rubbish
LOL - ain't that the truth!! I work with a lady who is really really lovely, but she's a size 12 and always moans on about dieting and pinches imaginary inches of flab on her stomach. :giggle: What I wouldn't give to have her 'problem'!
I've just sampled my first soup tonight -- Oriental chili. It was delish!! I'm so pleased I got some. I also got 5 bars and have chopped them all up into 12 pieces and divided them into 5 bags -- so I can have some mixed flavoured 'chocolates' on a weekend. We'll see how that goes -- be lovely to chew again
Hope you're all having a good day,
Me xxxxx
