Morning all,
Feel asleep last night but it was a green dot day
Was super happy with my weigh in yesterday and the disaster strikes
Bloody battery in scales has gone :-(
Not sure I will get any today and I'm back to work tomorrow. . . . . I would like to insert a swear word lol
Not to worry I will be super happy once I get new battery so I guess it's a good way to stop me weighing for a few days.
My friend " Fiona " popped in last night and although we were together NYE I can see a massive difference in her, she's looking great and is doing fab, it's quite nice to have a real life friend who I can txt in moments of weakness lol
Not a great deal to report this morning but no doubt I shall be back later in the day.
Here's to a fab weekend

Well another day just about over and another Green dot day
It's mad to think how fast the days go by.
I'm at work tomorrow evening and right through until my next day off which is next Friday, although I'm still in a phased return I won't be doing full shifts next Friday feels ages away :-(
I've still had no luck locating batteries for my scales but will have a look in the morning, I've not had a good look today as hubby is at home and he hates me weighing daily as he knows I get a bit OCD so fingers crossed I have a bright light moment and remember just which safe place I put them in lol.
I had a very short walk this morning, maybe a max 2 miles but the weather was vile, wind rain & hail, it was dry when I set off but I soon came back lol. I do a lot of walking at work do fingers crossed once I get back to full time my fitness should build up again. I'm itching to get out & about to time up my legs ready for the summer.
Trying to guess what size I will be for The Dominican is a nightmare although I know what I was for Vegas ( after my last CWP journey ) I'm not confident I will get as low in time for April but I know I won't be far behind.
This was me around 10.5
Size 12 river Island jeans which I still have but the top was / is a 16 as I also still have that. Not sure why shop sizes are so pants ! ! ! BUT I'm always bigger in my top half as I do have quite a broad back.
This is my only ever size 10 dress ( thank god for Lycra lol ) Ralph Lauren dress which hubby bought me in Maceys in Vegas.
To get back into that dress would be a dream !
I know I won't do it by April but compared to my holiday pictures from last year I will still be looking and feeling so much better
I know I post lots of pics but they really help me when I read back through this,
My latest photo is
More like this so I know I'm well on my way I must remember however little puckers wear big knickers as cooking for the hubby can be a challenge at times :-(
I want to see a big difference from last years holiday horrors to this years lol
Hope everyone has had a good day, thanks for keeping up with my rambles and photos !

Wow! angel I remember the pic in the white top when you first posted it and you look a skinny Minnie!! It's a great way to document what you want to achieve this time around and it will definitely help,you plan ahead beyond reaching target when the time comes. Though right now is focusing on the losses and completing days which you are doing brilliantly. Just love dropping by and following your posts I get excited on you behalf and feel inspired to keep focusing ahead myself
hope we you get the battery for the scale that must be so frustrating!

Morning,
Thanks Kira, it feels a million years ago but was July 2012 I still have the jeans and the top and although I know it's possible it feels impossible that I will be able to get back in them ( does that make sense lol ) BUT I blooming well will
Found the battery this morning
Half a blooming lb ! ! !
Half a blooming lb
I think Mother Nature is about to sprinkle her dust and pay me a visit any day now so I don't mind to much.
My friend Fiona has gone from 15.2 to 14.9 this week so she is doing flipping fab bless her, she's hot on my tail.
I have a evening in Edinburgh on Sat which will be food & drink, I'm not going to go wild and honestly if I could get out of it I would :-(
I'm on a mid shift at work later so will be heading to work about 3 and hope to be home by 10, need to plan the best way for my products as with bring off so much I'm in a routine and it's all going to change this week :-(
Tomorrow is 12 weeks to my holiday and I guess I can just about drop 3 st ? ? That would JUST get me into the 10's but if I get to 11.7 ( like Flick that is my upper target ) then I will be super happy.
Anyway enough of my rambling, hope everyone has a great day x

Hey! Half a pound is half a pound! And it keeps you firmly on the 13's
i think its it's great your friend Fiona is doing CWP as whilst there is competition at least it's out in the open and she's sharing her journey and supporting you and totally understands the challenges, determination and committment needed for this.
What I found when I had a friend dieting (she did 5:2) there was a competitive element but not supportive competition as it was almost a clandestine weightloss journey with us both doing our own plan but not discussing it yet obviously we were losing weight if that makes sense? I think what you have with your friend Fiona is much better.

Thanks Kira, we've known each other virtually out whole lives, she is godmother to one of my granddaughters, she was my maid of honour and I always turn to her in a crisis, she is a great friend. We txt each other almost hourly lol and it is a good support. When I was doing this in 2012 for the wedding I had their bridesmaid dresses hand made for them as Fiona is voluptuous and her curves are in all the right places lol, her boobs would never have fitted into a shop bought bridesmaid dress, she was at the time quite negative towards me doing CWP but eventually came round and asked me about it when I was quite close to goal. This time she obviously noticed and asked me for my consultants number etc, we went to her 1st weigh in together and it is nice that we are both in it together as I'm not making excuses not to socialise with her as she knows how it is.
I'm very proud of her but she is a strong determined woman so I have no doubt she will power though. We have a night out on the 31st and she's looking forward to seeing others who don't know, as she has nee done anything so drastic they can't fail to notice.
Us women are strange creatures and I agree we can kind of go head to head in competition rather than supportive competition, thankfully its not like that ( at the moment ) fingers crossed it doesn't change x x
I think the negativitiy is when we have low self esteem and shows as competition possibly? Not because we aren't happymothers have been succesful at laying weight because we want to have that success ourselves and feel we've failed or that it's simply not possible to be slim ever.
You said it in your other post about you pic on the White top and jeans whereby you have proof you were that slim in 2012 and the clothes but right now it seems impossible that you will fit into those clothes even though you've already lost a lot of weight. I think it is a complete mental issue which includes making decisions of what to eat and not eat.
well off for a walk soon and look forward to catchin up on how your day goes. X

Evening all, not a bad little shift, just down to York and back so no issues other than feeling like a block of ice waiting for my train back from York.
Another 100% SS day, its been a minty day, mint shake this morning hot then a mint bar and another hot mint shake this evening.
Just over 3.5 litre of water / herbal tea ( no coffee today )
Feeling pretty darn good as a couple of people at worked asked if I had lost weight and a few others said I was looking well
( polite way of saying about my weight loss lol )
I was 13.13 and a quarter this morning but jumped on the scales after my shower this evening and they showed 13.12
Fingers crossed it says that in the morning and I will log that as my 1st Jan weigh in as I like a Monday weigh in.
I'm not holding my breath as Mother Nature will appear any day now ( due today ) and I usually have a slight gain so fingers crossed she lets me have my moment on the scales in the morning before she arrives.
Not a great deal else to log except my moods today are awful, I can feel myself being snappy with hubby for no reason other than he is a man I know its not Cambridge but PMT but I do thing my moods have got worse whilst I've been on plan . . Does anyone else find this ?
Hope everyone survived the weekend and here's to another fab week for all of us !
Onwards and downwards as tomorrow is 12 weeks until my 1st holiday of the year

Good luck for WI lovely but I'm sure the scales will be just as kind as yours and you can break the circle of those darn 3 lb.
I forgot to log my newest green dot
Day 10 of my 95 day countdown to my holiday so only 85 days to go
At last a nice run of green days, last Mon I weighed in at 14.10 after two bad days so will record my weight tomorrow x
Edit,
bloody mother has worked her stuff, god knows what WI will be tomorrow now but on the plus side it is exactly 28 days since my last visit so I'm at least pleased its on time :-(

Morning lovely,
I'm hanging my head in shame this morning. You're looking fab already - i'm loving all the photos which really help document losses and changes.
I can never imagine being less than 11st (at this rate, i'm not going to be!) but I know that weight loss is actually achievable now.
My mum came to stay last week and I gave her a load of my old trousers (i'd been hanging onto some work trousers and jeans because they weren't good enough to sell.) It was very odd to give her hand me ups, but felt amazing to get rid of more clothes that are too big.
TOTM is due this week for me too - might explain being grouchy this weekend and all the off plan scoffing...

Morning Kira, morning all
Weigh in and at last I'm back to my pre Xmas weight of 13.12 ( and a quarter lol )
Super happy with that considering its TOTM and it could have been a slight water gain.
Here goes . . . . . .
Last Monday I weighed in at 14.10. That was after 2 very naughty days so I don't think it was a true reading if that makes sense.
For the January challenge I set my start weight at 14.02 which is what I feel would have been a more accurate weight ( I had never been as high as 14.10 for weeks )
To be 13.12 today going from the 14.02 gives me a loss of - 4 which I think is more accurate, like I say I'm quite happy with that and hope for a little more of a drop prior to the weekend.
Hope everyone has a happy Monday, keep up the great work everyone
