ButtErFlies-In It To Win It

[Barbara]

Hi there my lovely friend Lady B!! As you can see I worked out how to send messages. I just need to learn how to add all the fancy icons now!
Regarding the anti-CD incident this afternoon, I suspect there was a bit of jealousy going on there because you have noticably lost so much weight and are looking amazing!! All I can say is good on you girl - keep up the good work.
Nervous about my first weigh in tomorrow - followed the 1000 plan this week so not sure if I will have a good loss

 

[claira07]

lol, thats it bethan, im hopeless i know findern and mickleover, but grandad lived there his whole so he may know where you are xx

 

[Barbara]

Hi Zoe - how are you. Thanks for the welcome.

 

[claira07]

barbera good luck with your weigh in, sure youll do great xx

 

[Zoe.D]

I'm well Barabara thank you. So how have you found it this week? you have started on the 100 plan, has it been ok. I'm sure you will have a good loss this week. When is your weigh in.

 

[Barbara]

Thanks Claira, I'll keep you posted.

Hi Zoe, yes, unfortunately I have an illness (stomach) and I thought I may not be allowed to use the diet plan but my counsellor has been brilliant. She contacted head office for advice re which plan would suit me best and opted for the 1000 initially. I'm surprised how well I've coped with it - spread the mealtimes out so I'm not so hungry and eaten a piece of fruit in between. Drunk loads of water! Apart from feeling weak on a couple of walks I've felt great - better than I normally do if I'm honest ha ha!

I go on holiday beginning of October and would like to lose 1.5 st by then - wish me luck

Claire - I live in Alvaston now (it isn't too far from Mickleover)

Zoe - I am good thanks!!! Not looking forward to my WI in the week - think sts is the best I can do. Back on 810 plan today.

Barbara - The girls on Butterflies know my real name!! Good luck for your WI(weigh in) tomorrow - please let us all know how you get on!! You will have to add Week 1 to your signature - it is under user cp again.
To get a ticker thing - click on one of ours, then follow the instructions. Eventually it will give you a long code, called a URL which you paste into your signature under user CP on here.

I have finished filing and spreading my paper work - what a chore!!

[LadyB]

I am sure you will loose the 1.5 stone by then!!

 

[LadyB]

Zoe - I have been shopping again today!! heeee haaa.

Like you - I just can't help but trying on clothes......... because they now FIT!!!! ha ha!
Barbara - this is one of the joys, although you will need to do alot of washing and ironing as you will have to get all your old clothes out!!

Today I have brought (from the M&S outlet store):
1 lovely top, for work or out - size 12 £9.50 BARGIN
3 x sets of pants size 14 (don't like them tight) as my others are falling apart - and I thought it was about time - especially as I don't have to buy 18's any more!!
1 x cardy (Barbara saw it this afternoon)
1 x tight long top size 12 (may have to take this back)

Then tonight I needed some leggins to wear with the long top, and I can't actually believe I brought some (my legs always looked so fat) and a tight stretchy black pencil skirt from Asda.

I can't quite get used to my figure in the leggins and tight top - but my friend is coming round tomorrow night, as we are going to the cinema - so she will have to watch a little fashion show and give me her opinion!

i think ive heard of that lol, just had a lovely shower and stuck some false nails on, cant type now hehehe
feeling bloated today, but on my 5th litre of water so maybe thats it. xx

 

[claira07]

i always get matt to take a photo of me so i can see what i really look like, had to sell my pencil skirt, my friend bought it off me for £20, looks lovely on her, i want to grow now need another inch or 2, anyone got any ideas xxx

 

[Barbara]

Bethan, Thanks for ticker advice - just testing to see if it worked.

You have been busy shopping - it must be so exciting trying new clothes on and feeling good in them. I hate clothes shopping at the moment as I can only find clothes to fit me in the plus size shops. Looking forward to trying on clothes I've previously bought which still have the labels on!

 

[LadyB]

Claire - you have heard of where I live!! whoop whoop - my Uncle, Auntie and cousins live in Bristol!!
I need someone to take photos of me!! ha ha. That is a good plan.
Have you tried heels - that is the only way I know of!! Maybe platforms and heels!!!
5 ltrs of water - gosh you are doing well. I am tucking into my 4th!

Barbara - yippeeee you have a ticker!!
You may not want to cut the labels off those clothes, as you won't be in them for long - and they fetch more money on ebay being new with labels!!!! heee haaa!! As Zoe said - you will be in and out of clothes within weeks!!

[claira07]

isnt that funny my aunt lives in derby but not sure where, and my mums uncle and his sons, i'll find out. where in bristol are your family xx

 

[LadyB]

ummmmm - I don't know that either!!! ha ha!!
I will have to find out!!

Right babe - I am off to bed. I hope the bloated feeling goes by tomorrow!!!!
Sleep tight!

 

[claira07]

thanks luv, we both have to do some research lol nightie night xxxxx

 

[Asa]

Morning butterflies!!!
Great action on the thread yesterday! I might be able to stay up a little longer tonight .

Claria, I like the water challenge too. It keeps me really focused on the water intake. I never measured it properly before, just assumed that I drank enough.

The bars don't seem to slow my weight loss, so far anyway!

Bethan, I hate those people, giving out "advice" or judgment on something that they don't probably have a lot of experience on? Or maybe they failed on one of those diets? This is exactly why not many people at work know about this .

Barbara, hope your first WI goes well! Great having you here!

 

[Zoe.D]

Afternoon all, I have posted a few pics (too many to put all on) of some of the cakes I have done from my portfolio with my cake decoarting as you requested Asa and for anyone else who can bare to look at cakes to have a peek at lol.

Barbara that's great you have a cdc who helped with finding a plan that is suitable for you. You will have that 1.5 stone off by October I'm sure.

Bethan, like the sound of the lovely clothes you have been buying. I have been wearing leggins too as they fit now and shrink with me as I lose too lol.

Claira how are you today? Are you still feeling bloated with the water.

Where is Contrary, I havn't seen her on for a while or Broxi? I know Broxi was coming back to us soon.

Hi all,
Am here!!

Zoe your cakes are amazing! You are super talented, they really are spectacular.

Have been in London for a few days up to all sorts of naughtiness, fast speedboat rides on the Thames, movies, hotels, wandering and yep, tapas, wine, dim sum. Put on 2lbs which is fab!! Really needed a weekend off plan to just have some normal fun. And it was lovely to socialise and drink and just let my hair down. Back on plan yesterday and so far so good. I'm going to stick 100% for two weeks then make a decision what to do holidaywise (I have annual leave frome the 8th Sept to the 21st) so hoping to go away somewhere...

Feel a bit like the 'naughty' one of the group now...but do feel I've missed out on so much fun because of my weight, now because of diet, just needed to cut loose a wee bit. Now to the knuckling down again part :cry:

 

[alipally]

Please can I join?

Hi, I've just spent the best part of 2 hours reading through the thread!

I'd really like to join you ladies if that's OK?

I am LOVING the cakes Zoe! I do a bit of decorating myelf, but I wouldn't make any money at it! It takes me an absolute age to do them! So I stick to making them as presents for Birthday/ Christmas/ anniversaries etc.
I don't do weddings... My life is too short!

Everyone on here is doing so well and you are all really supportive of one another, I'd really like to be part of that!
