i dont no u hun but i think i speak for everyone when i say YES!!!! lol good to have u hear & good luck! what diet are u doing & how much u want to loose? xxx

 

[lindseydodd408]

Yay!!! Thanks Malibu... when I say quite a while ago it was 2 years ago, so I doubt there are many people who remember me. I hit a huge diet wall and decided to eat cake to try and get over it... needless to say it didn't work!!!

I log food on myfitnesspal and have recently decided to quite sugar and eat low carb... so kind of doing three diets at once, lol!!! I've got over 5 stone to shift to get into healthy BMI then I need to see how I feel.

How far are you into your journey? x

 

[malibu25x]

ive been yo-yo dieting for years, but my latest stretch i started slim & save on 25th july weighing 17 stone exactly lost a stone in 2 weeks & 1 day but week 3 was hardly anything & i cant take low losses when im being that strict so decided for my overall happiness to do my own diet aswell, i also use my fitness pal & log everything i have! im treating today as a new start because ive messed about this week + had my bday thurs so lotsa cals lol been weighed at gym this morn & im 16.2 & decided to just weigh weekly at gym as usually im a daily weigher & its so disheartening not seeing the scales move! good luck to u babes we can both shift alot of this weight by xmas & feel fab keep me posted xx

 

[lindseydodd408]

3rd December... I intend to be in Cuba drowning my sorrows in a vat of vodka daiquiri... I've not come to terms with turning 30 yet, can you tell?!?!

I hadn't thought of a goal, I don't like to put pressure on myself. Plus I'm such a stubborn and stupid cow, I hate being told what to do so much that I even rebel against myself, lol!!!

 

[malibu25x]

hahaha that made me laugh!! ohhh cuba sounds nice see im the total opposite & constantly making countdowns & have expectations of what id like to loose by a certain date etc etc but my goals are usually unrealistic & then when i dont achieve the goal ive set i end up going off track because dissapointed... sooo stupid lol not this time though... its not a race im quite happy to treat it like a marathon this time & i will get there when i get there! just as a rough idea though your bdays just over 14 weeks away so 1lb a week = 1 stone 2lb a week = 2 stone... told u im obsessed im even working out other peoples countdowns :O haha x

 

[lindseydodd408]

Ha ha ha ha, only 14 weeks... I'M NOT READY *** anxiety attack - pass the paper bag***!!!

It would be nice to be 15 st 4lbs by then... but there will be no holding of any breath, I suck far to much at weight loss, lol!!!

If you have no hopes you can't be disappointed... This is a rubbish philosophy for life, but works for me regarding weight loss. xxx

[nannacath]

Hmmm I think I have just used the wrong smiley face oops..it was meant to be a smile x

 

[malibu25x]

i no what u mean hun... im going to try & concentrate on mini goals rather than the final goal as seems too far away & daunting! so my 1st mini goal is too get into 15's (hopefully next week) dont worry u still have a few months being a '20 something' so live it up lol ive decided that i dont need to grow up untill im 30 (im still at uni lol) but no doubt in 5 years i will push it to 35 hehe x

Oh uni... How I miss you!!! What and where are you studying? x

 

[malibu25x]

Studying diagnostic radiography in Manchester (x-rays, ct, MRI, ultrasound, theatre etc) it's tough but will be worth it in the end... Or that's what I keep telling myself anyways lol I'm going into 3rd & final year in sept providing I pass a resit practical exam that's hanging over me what do you do? X

 

[lindseydodd408]

Wow, Malibu brainy!!! Go you!!!

I work for the youth offending service, it's probation for kids. The pay sucks and with the ever increasing budget cuts I'm under constant risk of being fired, but I love it!!!
