Lol, definitely more sleep you're rambling! Love it, hang in there! Get through today and then see how you feel...

I'm full of positivity this morning, I know we can do it. I've filled up my water bottels and they're on my desk, I've voided the homemade shortbread in the kitchen and booked my personal training session for Monday. I've also taken on an extra cleaning job this weekend so that's some good exercise too! It's only 76 sleeps until my holiday and I will not be the fat daughter from the UK!! I need to lose as much as possible as I KNOW I'll be putting on around a stone whilst I'm there (over 3 celebratory weeks!)

Its 11 (and a bit) weeks to Christmas, lets fight to get into those gorgeous dresses and wow everyone with our hard work! And then thoroughly enjoy the festive season knowing we can

xx

 

[skinnybean2b]

[slimming-girl]

well ive had the toffee shake it was yummy and oh has had the sweet porridge he has enjoyed next meal will be spag bol hes having macaroni cheese i hope they taste ok lol i dont quite fancy gagging on it 11 weeks till xmas crikey thats some good losses we can all have at a stone a month thats nearing 3 stone or more whoo whoox

 

[PuddingsKC]

I love crazy people! My boss is crazy which is fabulous fun, it helps when work is so stressy at the moment.

I know, 11 weeks, CDC is totally convinced that's 3 stone so I'm going for it. I can't eat anyway (still waiting for my dentist to come back off holiday and sort my tooth out) so I may as well carry on even though I keep thinking my flatmate is out tonight so I can stuff my face in peace - old habits eh? I wont, though I am going to get a bit of protein for the exercise days as I didn't get round to getting any yesterday.

I've 'budgetted' for a 3lb loss every week so I'm still on target with my 10lbs in two weeks. So thats 33lbs by 18 December hopfully which would be 1lb under target! Oh fingers crossed I really really really want to do it! I just can't imagine how it will feel going out to see the family/friends and being SLIM!

I was feeling like cheating a minute ago but wooohoooooooo I'm not now!

 

[BigLinz]

I ate my will power - welcome back! My Grandads wake was just before I started my diet so I appreciate how difficult it would be to manage that without all the lovely cake and food!

I made 18 lush cupcakes last night, all pink and glittery, some lemon and some chocolate! Proper lemon sherbet icing mmmm lush BUT clever old me didn't eat a thing. Invited a mate over and she tasted them all for me. I'm taking them in to work as today is my last day as a staff nurse! Promotion starts a week on Monday!

Birthday Sunday - I'm going out for drinks on Saturday and Dinner on Sunday will try all the low carb options! Don't want to be a big fattie!

I'm loving waking up with a flat stomach everyday, I do feel much thinner, work trousers etc fit very well again and no love handles in my jeans. However still far too heavy! Looking to shift 2 more stones.

Xx

 

[slimming-girl]

well the slim and save spag bol was lush and its great to have something like food and its vlcd i cant wait for first weigh in

 

[skinnybean2b]

Hi all

Welcome to to any new peeps.

Had a bad day today - went to the butcher in my village to get some chicken and simply had to have some lamb for dinner although it's strictly verboten. Ate two small steaks in a mint marinade for supper tonight. :break_diet:

But I have been good otherwise, and I'll get back to my Step 2 tomorrow, so I'm hoping a long cycle ride tomorrow, and maybe Sunday too, will put the slip behind me.

Hope you're all well and being brave. Only 11 weeks to Xmas???? Crickey, that concentrates the mind like nothing else!

Once I drop my second stone, I'm thinking of moving to the Alternate Day Diet, as I feel I could stick that more or less forever, as opposed to CWP which is very antisocial. Has anyone had experience of ADD?

Right, my clean sheets and new book are calling my name. BFN

 

[BigLinz]

Oh dear I ate Doritos! Should have finished at 9pm. 1 Tetra Pak all day gave in and ate Doritos woops!
Last nursing shift today so it was bound to all go wrong lol. Oh we'll finished with a bang.

How is everyone? X

 

[slimming-girl]

What new job have you got big linz? well i am loving slim and save so far had a lovely choc almond and vanilla bar and it was beautiful hehe i hope this will carry me to the end of the year come on weight get gone x

 

[BigLinz]

I'm a recovery lead nurse and CQUIN project manager. Means I'm enabling my unit to meet government targets and then delivering specialised therapies to select patients, not being a nurse anymore. Going to be strange but its another step up the ladder which is good x

 

[slimming-girl]

Wow sounds a mouthful but sounds like you will really enjoy itxx

 

[skinnybean2b]

Good evening girls! Just about to climb into my onsie and have a cosey evening in. I'm so looking forward to getting back on plan tomorrow. Am glad I have had the weekend off, but feel so bloated! I was thinking I know I will have put on even though haven't been really naughty!but as it was my mums bday if I had stuck to cd and had the odd treat I would have felt worse putting on if that makes sense.
hope you have all had lovely weekends and ready for a new week xxx

 

[BigLinz]

Well I had a lovely birthday but I did drink more than I intended on night out and the next day went out for a Chinese!

Very nervous for weigh in today as it was only 2 days ago and I haven't drunk much water since due to being ill!

I knew I'd be naughty on birthday but decided to let myself as I'd only feel deprived and then probably binge! Which isn't good.

Anyway nervous wait until 15;45, how bad is it going to be? X

 

[skinnybean2b]

hi girls,
wow it has been quiet on here!! where is everyone!! Biglinz glad you had a lovely bday, i got so drunk on sat night, luckily so drunk i vomited so less cals gross i know!!
yesterday morning I was so motivated to start again and then I found my beloved pussy cat on the side of the road :cry: i thought my heart was being ripped out, he was mine and my partners first pet and been with us through everything and i am heart broken so obviously I did not feel up to starting and now i have lost the motivation to start again, i feel like saying right i can have a week off and start next mon, not sure why but i always feel I need to start on a monday.
I went to see another pussy cat last night (i know it was quick but hoping it will make me feel better) and we have decided to get 2, a mother and her son. pick them up later this week. nothing can replace Pablo but at least the house wont feel so lonely. xxx
