Independence Day Challenge!!

I find it really strange that even though I know the losses on this diet are far far quicker than anywhere else, I'm still impatient to get into the next set of stones! You'll be in the 11's in no time - you're so determined and focussed that it'll be rewarded soon :)

I've got a wedding to go to at the beginning of August so will be trawling ebay for a suitable dress (no idea what size I'll be in a month though!). Not sure I'd quite fit into any of yours, but you never know, I may be your winning bidder! lol
 
Hope you girls all had a good weekend :)
I had my WI this morning, lost 1lb :cry: I'm gutted coz I've stuck to it 100% but I'm retaining fluid so badly just now - bl%dy hormones! Hopefully it'll be a decent loss on the scales next week!
On the plus side I have now completed our Independence Day Challenge - woo!

Well done Vickie - that's great. You can't help water retention and you're finished on the challenge!!! Just have to cheer us all on now.
My crappy STS week has been offset by this week so far.
Don't WI till Wed, but 3lb down already, so am optimistic for a 4lb loss - that would be lovely.
 
Hey everyone, will update tomorrow but off out in a bit as it's my birthday today! 19!! Feel so old! Ha ha! Really pleased with my weigh in today as it's only been 6 days, nearly 3 pounds gone. Scales have moved even after weigh in today so aiming for 4 POUNDS this week! I can do it!

Will update with you all tomorrow, and well done Vickie!!! The first person to complete the challenge, you should be sooo pleased! Well done hunnie :D

Hope you're all having a lovely day!

Morning Indi Gals!

Just a quick post to see how everyone's doing. Fingers crossed for your WI Watergirl - you deserve a big loss this week.
:birthday: Happy Birthday Luci!!!:talk017:

Well done Vickie! :wow: Brilliant stuff. You too deserve a big loss this week!

Ok, better go and iron something to wear to work (been putting off the ironing for days and it's getting to crisis point now! lol)

Thanks Thelma :)

Well done Luci!
Know what you mean about ironing Thelma.
I now only iron as I need stuff!

Hope everyone is well xxx
 
Hi all, well I managed a 2lb loss this week - really pleased with that, on the 1000 plan, and also finally takes me into the 11 stone mark :) Double celebration, and even more than that, I'm now no longer obese, just overweight :) - Not sure I'm going to hit my target now to be honest, but I did start the target on SS, and have moved up to 810 and 1000 through it, so I'm pleased to be actually getting closer to it. x

That's a great loss on that plan. I won't be hitting my target, but you have to remember that some people started this target at a similar time to the diet and you always lose loads in the first 2 weeks.
You've done incredibly well!

hi guys hope you are all well, hey watergirl how is the trip planning fairing up hun, you have got me right in the mood for Disney and Mr Witch said yes to next year so Im going to start looking around and getting prices.
 
Well done on the 3lbs Watergirl! Don't be too disappointed - you're doing great!

And CONGRATS to Witchy on achieving your Independence Day Target!! Brilliant stuff!!!!!

xx
 
Hope you had a lovely birthday Luci :)
Well done on your 3lb loss Liz!
Alexmummy you're doing very well on the 1000 plan, great to hear you're no longer obese!
Thelma you can come and do my ironing if you like.....:D
Congratulations Witchy on reaching your ID target!
We just got back from visiting my family and I had so many lovely compliments, but my bridesmaids dress is about 6 inches too small and the wedding is in 14 weeks so that's a bit of a worry! :cry:
 
Thanks Witchy and congrats big time (or should I say little time now we're all getting so small!!!) Everything pretty much sorted for Disney - so unbelievably excited, not sure I can wait. We should start a separate Disney thread with tips on it! Using the Dibb forum a lot too. Great news that you're going! :D

Thelma - thanks for that. Am 12stone 3lbs - just over 3lbs to get into the 11's, I can't believe it. Not long ago I was nearly 16stone. Love this diet! Not having as good losses as some, but I'd never lose 3lb on WW or SW etc.

Thanks Vickie - you'll lose 6 inches in 14 weeks! That is just after Florida for me. How do you fancy setting a joint new challenge as this one is coming to an end soon?

My hols starts on 20th when we go to the Aurora Hotel in Gatwick.

So I wanted to set a challenge to get to goal for 19th September, which just so happens to be International Talk Like a Pirate Day (got that from wiki!) :D

So I think I'm going to start an International Talk like a Pirate Day challenge!!!

Whose up for it? Anyone else have any goals dates for things around then?

You watch, it'll fall flat on it's a*se and I'll be oo-arring at myself! :eek:
 
LMAO at Talk Like A Pirate Day lol. 19th Sept is the hen night I'm organising for my sister in law to be so from Independence Day to then I'd like very much to lose 35lbs. If you start a new challenge don't forget to post a link :)
 
No Liz, I want 40lbs off between now and then but I said on here that I'd like 35 off between Independence Day and then, IYSWIM. Seeing as I've completed the ID challenge though there's no need to wait :)
 
Look at you, you eager beaver ;)!!!
 
Anyone weighed in recently? Hope you all have a good weekend X
