[kim63]

I was getting so darned close and just been away with family for 5 days, i am not joking when i say i have been force fed cake and icecream!!! Dreading getting on the scales but back to it tomorrow, red days work well for me so im on it!!!

Not heard from you in a while, have you been AWOL ?

Eeek I just about look in a mirror in my underwear let alone have pics taken lol! The nearest I got to that was got DH to take a pic of me in a pair of jeans I could hardly do up with the ooooky muffin top spilling over said jeans! X

Oh Kim believe me it took a lot for me to do that. We are going swimming with little one at weekend and I thought I may as well. Am very shy body wise with other half and to make it worse he says I am gorgeous/hot etc then says "to him anyway" don't think he meant it the way I am takin it. Think he means he does even tho I don't but ugh the photos got deleted. Might try again if he bothers to get his ass off couch to take them from a standing position so he isn't lookin up on me and gettin every morsel of cellulite and blue skin haha. Laughing now but could have cried.
In a huff with myself and hoping to reappear in the mornin with my positive hat on. When is your app?

Try not to be too disheartened Deb, coz I bet even slim girls have body issues...I blame the media/magazines.....ooh don't get me on my soap box! If it upsets you that much don't take the photos, just take measurements & try on a pair of jeans you can't fit into comfortably yet & use those 2 methods as a guide. You obviously have a loving supportive hubby so believe him! That's why I'm opting to WI every 2 weeks now & the pressure has lifted!
Scan tomorrow , Consultant next week x

What you been up to Mrs?! X

Not much, just having a relaxing night in but am sooo hungry but I've been eating slices of ham to curb any cravings!

Feeling lethargic, don't think I've ate enough today my cals came in at 1200 still though, just thought I'd check because yesterday I felt the same so wanted to check I was eating enough xxx

 

[icklerockchick]

Awe thanks for that. It's just so hard getting reality checks isn't it? Combined with rubbish losses and inch measurements the stupid side of me wants to cry. Didn't even do the shred tonight. I have poor me head on and lying in bed with my little one. Suppose only way is up. Let me know how your after photos turn out

Don't be so hard on yourself we can't all be machines all the time ;-) hope some cuddles with the little one cheer you up.

I think it's hard for us to see the difference in ourselves in our heads I'm sure most of us imagine we look exactly the same as we did at our biggest I know most of the time I do! But the scales, formally too tight clothes, friends, family, tape measure can't all be wrong.

You are exercising and eating well your weight will go down and you will tone up. I hope that soon you will be able to see the great progress that everyone else can see you have made x

Hello gorgeous girls,

Sorry I've been quiet, been so busy dealing with estate agents, viewings and budgets that I feel like my head is going to explode! I have stayed completely on plan though - that's my positive for the day! We find out tomorrow whether we've got the property or not, it's going to be a nail-biting morning!

Welcome to all the new faces our group is ever growing! I remember when it was just me and Charlie when I first came down from the 10s!

I am determined to start the Shred again - it's just difficult living at my Mum's, no space and we only have one tv, so everything has to get put on hold and I feel a bit guilty! OH's house wouldn't really work either - couldn't do it upstairs (I'd sound like I was going to come through the ceiling) and there's no way I'd be allowed to use their front room and tv cause HEAVEN FORBID she should miss Come Dine With Me!

I would like to jog again, but I'm worried that jogging just isn't my thing. I loved Zumba, but can't really do that either for the above reasons - NEED TO MOVE!!

I definitely agree with what you have been saying about the mirrors and photos though, I definitely see myself differently to others. Mainly because people laugh when I confide in them and get some sort of generic 'don't be stupid' which doesn't make me feel any better! The frustrating thing for me is that my inches aren't going down - I'm stuck again! My hips are just destined to be big, I think.

Anyway, this has turned into somewhat of a ramble - sorry, wasn't intentional! Just missed you lot x

Aaw missed you to!
How exciting tho, what's the new pad like you're hoping to get? X

 

[icklerockchick]

Let us know how you get on with the house Annie! Well done for staying on track during stressful times x

Evening all!

Popped in to say Hi to the new joiners - well done! And to wish Kim luck for tomorrow. Lie back and think to a lovely cold glass of White that will be coming your way next week .
Have a Happy Thursday everyone! X

Thanks Shellie I will certainly be thinking of something other than that horrid noisy scanner, so a nice cold Nobilo sounds heavenly ! X

Is 1200 cals enough? Sounds quite low to me especially if you're exercising x

 

[Going2be*fab*at40]

Just to add about the body image thing.
When I lost 5 stones in 2010, I could see the change, but still felt fat. I'm the same again at the moment!
I genuinely believe that it takes time for the mind to adjust to any change in body shape and size.
Also, as you get older, you learn to accept that you can't change basic body shapes. You can certainly improve tone though!
How about focusing on the parts that you do like? For example, I love my eyebrows! They are perfectly arched and I've never had to pluck them! I also think that I've got pretty good shoulders! Even if I do say so myself.
Right, exhausted from Southampton is now dragging herself off to bed. Night. X

I don't know really. Don't know how many I should be having really. I've always tried 1200 when losing weight. Might have a few more tomorrow as its WI day and then play around with them x

Have you always counted them even on SW? Why are you just out of curiosity x

 

[Geobar]

Hi everyone mind if I join you all? Just had a 3.5lb loss bringing me just into the 9's and giving me my club 10 award at 9st 13.5lb!

Sent from my Desire HD using MiniMins

Hey Aily! We did it in the same week. Congrats x

 

[lilprincessvic]

Back from bingo......didn't win anything :-(

The weather is AWFUL

Just got some new underwear from asda, I'm now a D!! I started off just tithing into a H!

When I looked at my pics in my underwear I thought I looked awful, all I could see was my big tum.

What can I do to get over my plateu? I ant lost owt over past 5 weeks, just gone up n down :-(

 

[Geobar]

Speaking of underwear, I also do shred in my bra and pants BUT just asked other half to take some "before" pics of me to spur me on for when i have finished the shred. Oh my god i can't believe how bad I look. My legs look like cumberland sausages and tummy is all soft and wobbly. He has taken it when he was sat down (too busy watching football) so its like a shot lookin up on me which isn't the best. Think I have that body dysmorphia but I see myself as the opposite. Think I look certain way but in real life I am deluded. All these inches and photo are meant to spur me on but makin me worse.
Has anyone else had a reality check like this?

I did exactly the same thing. I then asked DH is this what I actually look like, whilst fighting back the tears. Shred is on hold temporarily but I got half way through and he said my body was looking a lot better

 

[Nikki<3]

No but I counted them when I felt I was eating either too much or not enough x
