Anyone in the 9s want to be in the 8's ??

For a comparison here's a photo from my sisters prom last year. I'm a size 16 here. The corset I wore today was a 26 inch one :-D i'm the blonde one.

Wow what a difference! Well done you I'm sure you will look even more fab in the finished pics

Forgot to multiquote so this may seem bit random but I love butternut squash I just roast it too, but is there a secret to peeling and chopping them I find it so hard!! :-( x

My gran came to visit today - and she'd clearly been talking to my mu has she started with the whole "you're not going to lose any more weight are you? You told me your target was 9 stone" malarky. I know she cares about me, but they seem to have the impression that I starve myself or live on lettuce or something. She was telling me how I should eat dairy, some fats and vegetables - and I explained to her that you HAVE to have dairy, fibre and meat every day! I hope by the end of our discussion that she realised Slimming World is about eating healthily for life rather than a quick fix and being super strict with what goes in my mouth. Some people seem to think that because I'm not overweight but I'm still losing weight that I must be cutting something out of my diet - but I'm very happy with the way SW makes me eat - and it's something I can imagine doing in the future. It's a normal, healthy way of eating and I hope my mum and gran realise that soon before I go crazy with all the nagging! Rant over!

You know hun this is always what sabotages me. Its ALWAYS my Mammar and Nanna who say exactly the same oh and OH does it too! I get down to about 9st 4 and the get the lecture every day. Dont let it get to you hun, keep going only we know how we feel about our bodies and how we want to feel.

So, I had a little snooze from 7-8 and woke up hungry. Had a couple of spoonfuls of left over whilst making myself a pork salad for lunch tomorrow. Then I decided to have 50g of ben and jerrys.... 6.5 syns but could have ate at least 200g!! Delicious, now craving choc even more though.

Have a hot chocolate for 2 syns! Though I find that the only one to curb my chocolate cravings it the Cadburys Highlights fudge!

Family eh, who'd have them?! It definitely won't sabotage my efforts, because I know I'm sensible, eating the right things and am healthy - I just wish they'd stop seeing it as a diet and just as the way I eat now. I mean, what do they expect - me to be eating cakes when they come round? Or filling my face with pizza? It's a little confusing really, as my food diaries are much like how a normal slim, healthy person would eat - I'm not sure what they think it will be like when I'm at goal weight...

I only have options mint in may have a mini bag of malteasers and a hot choc...saying that I still have my HEXB left hmmm...

Glad your in the right mind set hun, I think i'll have to try and ignore the comments when I begin to get back down to target range. Like your saying, it is just a healthy eating plan and im sure our familys would rather like to see us eating a healthy salad or cooking a way that we can eventually pass on to our children day rather than filling our faces with high calorie/fat cakes and pizza 24hrs a day.

Mmm malteasers! Have you tried the rabbit one? Reallllllly want to try one, might nip to the shop on the way back from work tomorrow

Yeah, you're right I guess they just see the weight loss without understanding what goes on behind it! X

Ooh I might be able to live with that - I love the honeycomb but hate it when it gets stuck in my teeth!

 

[kim63]

Ooh lots to catch up on in just a few hours!
Nikki you're food looks scrummy & well done on resisting more icecream!
Vicky you look a different girl & glad you liked the photo shoot must have been great fun
Charlie. Families eh! I'm sure they only worry but should be proud of you for your achievement which I'm sure they are. I'm sure they know you've lost weight healthily but should realise its for your future health as well.

I'm going to do a couple of green days this week as had a bit of a meat fest this weekend. & just hope the carbs will help on the cycling frenzy I intend to have this week x

 

[kim63]

Malteser bunnies are gorgeous but not a lot for 8 syns!

 

[lilprincessvic]

Alternating green Weeks and red Weeks is supposed to be good. I might do a green week this week x

BNS are a pain in the bum to peel but I find the best way is to chop into quarters & then peel & deseed it x

I agree there. I'm sure its coz the body gets complacent, so you have to trick it every now & then.....sneaky aren't we! X

Generally fat free doesn't mean syn free. We were talking bout this at group last week. Shame :-(
