Fifty Shades of Shame.

Weigh In Day tommorrow at 945am.
I really hope this has all been worth it . I really pray for a good weight loss.

I lost 4 stone before many years back on WW and my head is constantly telling me to go back and do that again as you can have what you want as long as stay within your counts. However I always give up after a stone !

The last few days however have made me think what an idiot I am - if I can stick to this then surely I can bluddy stick to WW.

But I want a fast weightloss.

I have come to a decision though.

If my weight slows down to between 1-2lbs a week on this then I will go back to WW as its the same loss .

Good luck to everyone being weighed this week X

Hey Karinnae I see you and Mad are enjoying some of the same T.V. shows I watch, True Blood and Californication. Since you have Netflix I thought I would recommend a few more I really like.

Weeds, United States of Tara, The Big C, Hung, Nurse Jackie, Dexter

I watch way too much T.V........also a big fan of Downton Abbey. : )
 
Good luck for your weigh-in2moro Karrinnae. I'm sure you'll have a big loss and that will spur you on.

I don't see why your weight loss should slow down to 1-2lbs a week, certainly not if you're doing SS or even SS+. Have a look at Lazarus' and/or Sinead's threads for some inspiration and an idea of how much you could/should continue to lose.

x I hope this helps x
 
Weigh in Day

Lost 9lbs , dunno why I am dissapointed at that but I kinda am. I guess its cos ive seen others lost so much more in the first week. However its a good loss i guess.
Cannot bear another week of this though. But know I have to .
Thanks everyone for all the support this week i think its going to get harder!
 
Don't be so hard on yourself - 9lbs is a fantastic loss in your first week. I lost the same :) I've now lost 21lbs and my body has changed dramatically. Keep up your great work and you'll be feeling those clothes getting looser and fitting into things that you couldn't wear a couple of weeks ago :)
 
well done hun 9lbs is a great loss you should be realy proud of yourself!
you need to shake off that attitude tho , if you are telling yourself this weeks gonna be hard then it will be..get it into your head that this is whats happening at least until after your daughters engagement doo, which realy isnt so far away now...I would put money on it that you will lose roughly same again this week and that will take you to almost a stone and a half in a fortnight.
You could maybe try slim and save if its the liquid diet thats geting to you ya know , the losses are the same but you get to eat proper meals
Best of luck for this week luv

How many other diets could you have lost 9lbs on in the first week? Not many, I bet.

You have done great and you should give yourself a pat on the back.

This time next week, you could be a stone down!

Good luck hun

9lb is very good for a first week as some can lose from as little as 4/5lb but go onto to have very steady good weekly losses which add up quickly.

The first week's losses is mostly glycogen and it all depends on what was in your glycogen store.

The weight comes off everyone differently and you will see your own pattern develop over the coming weeks and months.

Well done and I hope you have a good week ahead:happy096:
 
Week 2

Ok i can feel myself slowly inching towards takeaways. It is Friday night again. BB eviction night! Wine and a BBQ party!

So this is a wake up call to myself.

Isn't the power of the camera amazing. Lighting. Make Up. Angles. Imagery.

The following photographs were all taken within 24hrs of each other.


1. The camera me - of course at this weight one does not show their body and throws away about 100 a photographs before choosing the "good one".

2. Still the camera me - different angle....

photo(17).JPG

I very rarely allow photographs of my body in fact, even when one sneaks through i will insist on it being deleted. Oh and facebook is a nightmare! That sharp panic attack when i am notified someone has posted a pic of me to my page! Woe betide them as my mum would say!

3. A few hours later, sans makeup and clever camera angles.....The real me. The me i have to recognise and do something about.

photo(18).JPG

How can that possibly be the same person?? Camera. angles, light. Just how can it? Who is it that other people see?

I often see people state that they didnt know what they looked like until they saw a particular photograph or caught themselves in a video.

We take flattering photographs of ourselves in order to fool ourselves into believing - ok yeah i need to lose weight but im still ok. What about the other hundred photographs that didnt make it pass the editing. That we looked at for a second and then quickly threw away. That disgust is still there you know, we just primped it up a bit with the "good one"

So. It has taken a lot to do this as I am sure some will recognise - we are so particular about what we allow to be photographed -
but a wake up call is what I need.

My weight and level of fitness is affecting my children who worry, my relationship with my partner and my career progression. It is all about the image you know. :) And loving yourself.
