Independence Day Challenge!!

[fatfighter]

Course you will Fenix
Good luck Watergirl!
Just means you can go shopping Luci And if you sell the stuff that's too big you'll have money in your paypal account so it's kinda "free" lol

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks Fatfighter - can I call you FF lol?
Not that I'm a lazy typer

I have that problem - all my clothes were 18 or 12. I am back in some 14 skirts and dresses as my waist is small enough, but then my hips go right out. So I am fine with floaty type dresses that go out at the hips!

Right, going to go on xtrainer and then agility (the dog not me, although running around with him kills me)

Have fun peeps - won't be back till later and then might have a bath and pamper x

hi everyone, my cdc is away for 3 weeks so will do unofficial wi at the weekend. I just have 1 daughter who is 18, and 3 guinea pigs don't think they'll like walking much. have joined a gym, just got back from there burned 450 cals in the gym then swam 20 lenghts. I'm going to try and go 4 -5 times a week, Normally go walking with oh at weekends.

We went to orlando when my daughter was 12. She loved it, I can't stand rollercosters etc, but still had a fab time, its a fantastic place.

 

[Issywissy42]

Well done Witchy for an amazing weight lose too! Roll on next wk!

Hi Trisha

Id love to do Orlando but we chose Paris, its was fab staying in the Disney Hotel, I took my two oldest children when I was pregnant so I stayed off the rides (plus I get motion sickness so i dont like em lol) I say Winnie the Pooh and cried lol and when they did the parade all you can hear on the camcorder is me crying at every princess that comes back, so would like to go back when im less weepy.

 

[Witchy]

Well done Witchy for an amazing weight lose too! Roll on next wk!

thank you , cant wait.

 

[Watergirl]

Scojos - sorry about your child, hope all is okay now. Are you a Friday WI-er? I have my WI's on Friday.

Issy - amazing loss! Well done you, bet you're over the moon.

Witchy - well done on a fantastic loss. You're right about the support - it really helps

Trisha - you're an exercise inspiration lol. Not sure I could do all that without passing out. Managed my xtrainer and the agility, but feel tired now. Might have another shake, although don't overly feel like I need one.

Everyone is doing so flipping well!!!!
Hope I don't let the side down on Friday when I WI. I think my losses are slowing as the weeks go on, but as long as something is coming off that's all that matters.

We're all getting to goal together and that really helps xxx

Is it natural for it slow down a bit?? looking at your losses your an inspiration, you will do great and every pound is something, I didnt think it was really possible to loose so much.

 

[Watergirl]

Thanks I think it naturally is bound to slow, but having said that I think it either evens out for people - like 3-4lbs a week or some people will stay the same (STS) and then drop like 7lbs the next week.

I am a daily weigher and often find nothing shifts until the Friday morning and then 2lbs will go. I think I've lost about 2.5lbs so far. I am happy with the losses and so into this now that the actual figures are almost secondary.
What is making a difference is fitting into much smaller sizes and feeling better about myself.

Before you know it Witchy you'll be a fraction of the size you were when you started, especially if you keep going at your rate. 10lbs is impressive!

 

[Witchy]

Its a wierd feeling isnt it, Ive yoyo dieted for so long now with tiny results nothing like this, and looking at the Inspiration Slide Show daily and this thread is keeping me in the game, ive not been this happy in years about loosing if you know what I mean and its nice to be able to talk how I feel and minute the journey.

 

[Watergirl]

I think that it just feels good to finally be able to take control of something that has dogged your life for so long. It is motivating to know that you CAN do something. That's what makes me feel good

Didn't realise how helpful joining a sub group like this would be either. It's nice to have a smaller group of people all motivating each other and getting to know each other. Seems a lot of us have a love of animals, disney and pampering too!!!

 

[Witchy]

Thats hit the nail on the head def.

OOh and the love of Disney hehe.

 

[fatfighter]

:happy036:Well done Issy and Witchy!
Watergirl most people call me Vickie but FF will do lol. You won't be letting the side down, don't worry!
Scojos hope your little boy is ok.
Trisha hats off to you for doing all that exercise, are you on SS?
